Reborn to Be A Noble Wife - Chapter 510
Chapter 510 The Master of the Little Nunnery
The carriage went out of the city and curved all the way around for a long time before stopping at the bottom of a slope.
Qu Mo Ying supported Yu Dong’s hand and got down from the carriage, glancing at the surrounding road surface, his face sank down, a hint of coldness flashed under his eyes.
It was the only entrance to that nunnery, but it was so narrow that only a modest carriage could pass through, and further on the road became more and more difficult to navigate.
With such a road situation, if something did happen to someone inside the nunnery, how would they have time to send news outward, or send someone outward?
Such a small nunnery, such a road, destined to be just a very small, inconspicuous nunnery, near a few villages know a little bit of the people just, who would be nothing to such a small nunnery over?
The Qu Mansion is really good, what kind of heart was stored in the first place to send my mother to such a place, don’t you understand? A trace of pain flashed in the bottom of his heart.
“Miss, you can see the nunnery up there!” Sister Miao reached up and pointed upwards.
Qu Mo Ying nodded, holding Yu Dong’s hand upwards, the mountain path was also very narrow, although it was slightly regulated, but it was only because of the number of people walking nearby that there was such a path, it wasn’t the kind of road that had been purposely polished.
This way, Qu Mo Ying also walked very carefully, fortunately Yu Dong’s hands are very clever, although Sister Miao said that she is a bit older, but since childhood the foundation is still there, the two people one after the other to guide Qu Mo Ying up to the high place.
Above the slope was a small platform with a huge rock on one side that blocked the wind, and the wind was not too strong up there, so it counted as a good place to get out of the wind.
Holding onto the boulder and looking to the left, there was a from of forest, as well as a nunnery, not a large one, especially when looking down the hill, but still occupied.
There were female nuns cleaning the nunnery, and there were also occasional incense burners inside, which should be people from the nearby villages who occasionally came to enter an incense.
There was also a not-so-small piece of land behind the nunnery, and I heard that the incense in the nunnery was not strong, and the female nuns all lived on the vegetables grown inside the land.
“There, that’s where the Second Mistress lives!” Sister Miao reached out and pointed to a place and said.
Qu Mo Ying followed her hand to look over, that one can be regarded as the best place in the whole nunnery, not only the location of the room is good, look at this situation, the line of sight is also open, and also quiet, not suitable for people to disturb, it is indeed a good place to rest.
Yu sure took a good spot!
The corners of his lips pursed slightly.
“Over there is the place where Madam used to live!” Sister Miao added, she had asked Sister Zhou before and had poked around very clearly.
Qu Mo Ying’s eyes once again followed Sister Miao’s gesture to look over, that one place is short, looks like a utility room, location is not good not to mention, that place is afraid to live is cold in the winter and hot in the summer, and close to the nunnery’s backdoor, the backdoor is the place to go to the vegetable field, and it seems to be here is still a shortcut, just a moment of time, to see that there are joss stickers to that side of the entrance and exit.
Evidently not a place to recuperate properly!
The same is the wife of the House of Qu, that time the mother is still pregnant with himself, even if he suffered from the cold, that is also the second wife of the Qu, the first wife of the serious, and now the Yu’s, obviously sent over before, he let people hinted at it, was depreciated, but she still managed to live very well.
If it was said that there was nothing fishy in this, Qu Mo Ying would never believe it!
One of the most likely assumptions is that Yu and this nunnery owner knew each other early on.
“The current nunnery master is not the previous one?” After looking at it, Qu Mo Ying asked again.
“No, but there aren’t many people who care about this matter, the previous nunnery master was physically sickly, and when the Lady lived in that year, she was always sick, and things were all presided over by this current nunnery master.” Sister Miao reported, she had pried these things from Sister Zhou.
Compared to Sister Zhou, who was in charge of the courtyard affairs, Sister Miao was more adept at prying for information, which was the main reason why Qu Mo Ying had deliberately asked Sister Miao to pry into Yu’s affairs.
“How did that nunnery master die before?” Qu Mo Ying asked in a deep voice, a hint of ghostly cold flashing in his eyes.
“The old slave has inquired clearly, is in our lady into the nunnery before the disease, in the lady accident, not long after, this old nunnery also died, but because this old nunnery before the body has been bad, long time illness, I heard that also used the medicine, but after that lingering sickness, natural death, also no one take this matter seriously. ”
Sister Miao continued, she had gotten the news about this from the old nuns in the nunnery and some of the villagers nearby.
The old nun died of illness, and no one cared.
Such a nunnery, just a few people, usually the incense is not enough for the female nuns to eat and use, but also have to grow their own vegetables to subsidize the household, who would notice such things.
“Very coincidental!” Qu Mo Ying said coldly.
“The old slave also thinks it’s coincidental, I heard that although this nunnery master has used medicine, he didn’t use much, after all, this nunnery is so poor, it’s not like it can afford to eat and use good medicine.” Sister Miao nodded.
“I heard from Sister Wu that the mansion sent quite a bit of silver to this nunnery at that time?” Qu Mo Ying asked again.
“That’s what my grandma said, but maybe all these silver taels have fallen into the hands of this current nunnery owner, the old nunnery owner doesn’t necessarily have the money to see a doctor, just randomly grabbing some common medicines to eat, even if he invites a doctor, it’s just that kind of traveler’s bone-setter, and after so many years, he can’t find anyone else” Sister Miao understands what Qu Mo Ying is asking about. She explained.
So, this so-called invited the doctor used medicine, but also just so say, is not really invited the doctor, it is really hard to say, or invited the doctor said what, a time can not be said clearly.
But there is one thing that Qu Mo Ying can be sure of, this matter is bound to be the relationship between Yu and this current nunnery owner, but looking at the moment, this nunnery owner is so high on Yu and so generous to Yu can be known.
The two downs were colluding in one place early on.
There are some things, she went back and then have to ask Sister Zhou, today is deliberately come over to see, to see the place where my mother died, but also to see the scene of the field of this one, there are some things that light description can not be said, there is a kind of inexplicable feeling so that she personally have to come over to see, there seems to be someone in the underworld who is reminding her that she has to come over to see it in person.
But seeing this one nunnery right now, it didn’t seem so important.
Willow brows furrowed slightly as she looked down once more at the nunnery below, a tightness in her chest as if something weighed heavily on her heart.
The eyes closed slightly, then slowly opened again, still smothered and breathless.
Just such a cold place, actually sent his mother over, Qu Zhizhen is really a slag, and it is also with his forewarning that Xu Lipeng and Yu Qingmeng are counting on themselves, right?
It’s really a drink and a peck!
Looking back, the heavens spare no one!
But even if the heavens can’t spare her, she won’t let these people go!
“What is that?” Yu Dong’s voice suddenly and abruptly rang in his ears, Qu Mo Ying raised his head and looked towards the top of the boulder, there was a dark corner where a dark red cloth seemed to be hanging.
It had only aged so much that it had receded to almost white in places, the only flashes of dark red being visible when it flailed in the wind.
Cloth hanging very high, also do not know exactly hanging in what angles, Yu Dong leaped forward to look at a few eyes, “Miss, slave girl up to take down to see?”
“No need!” Qu Mo Ying shook his head, “It might have been accidentally hooked when someone went up there.”
“Up here, it’s not just anyone who can get up there.” Yu Dong looked up and muttered.
“You can’t get on either?” Qu Mo Ying’s heart fluttered.
“The slave girl should barely be able to go up!” Yu Dong estimated and thought for a moment.
“Can’t climb up?” Qu Mo Ying was also more than a little curious, she really didn’t know much about this aspect, she had originally thought that although it wasn’t easy to climb up there, it wouldn’t be too difficult either.
“Can’t!” Sister Miao also saw the cloth above, hitching her eyes to look at the road, she was growing up in the northern border of the tribes since childhood, climbed a lot of mountains, but now this boulder above, she felt that it is not the average person can climb up, at least she climbed so many years of the mountain, want to climb up, but can not.
It’s not hard to look at, but it’s actually positively hard.
Such a large boulder, the position above could not be seen clearly, if there was a hole above it, it might be possible to hide in it.
“Miss, there might be holes up here for people to hide in, why don’t slave girls go up and take a look?” Yu Dong said rather thoughtfully, it was really hard to see clearly from below.
“No need.” Qu Mo Ying but shook her head, she didn’t feel that there was anything pressing on it, and chose to view it here just because it was convenient.
“Miss, it looks like there’s actually a place to hide someone up here.” Yu Dong stepped back again, squinting her eyes thinly with quite a bit of curiosity.
“It has nothing to do with us!” Qu Mo Ying shook his head, “Let’s go down the mountain, there’s still something going on over at the Yue Jin Pavilion.”
“Yes!” Yu Dong answered.
Then helped Qu Mo Ying down the slope, the carriage waiting below the slope, after Qu Mo Ying got on the carriage, he ordered the carriage to go to the Yueyi Pavilion first.
“Miss, why don’t you go directly to Yuejin Pavilion?” Yudong asked, clearly it was Yuejin Pavilion where something happened, shouldn’t she go to Yuejin Pavilion first?
“Let’s go to Yue Clothes Pavilion first and ask Aunt Yang first.” Aunt Yang, the shopkeeper of Yueyi Pavilion, was a bit more reassuring to Qu Mo Ying than Zhang, the shopkeeper of Yuejin Pavilion.
Head slightly back a lean, watery eyes closed, Yue Jin Ge things, in fact, some strange, Zhang Boss should be an extremely loyal people, but what is the situation at the moment, why would such a thing, and they still do not know anything …
Yue Jin Ge is very short of goods recently, the lack of that master extreme level of artisan goods, but Zhang Boss did not have half a point to talk about the meaning of the previous to send the account book over, also the same, only a few days ago to send the account book, if something is wrong, why do not you say, intuition that this is very much a matter of things …
