Chapter 537 Recommend Someone to Settle the Problem!

“Reverend, what do you think of this?” The silver bracelets were placed in front of Puming Nun. The two old maids felt cold all over and regretted picking up the bracelets and showing them to the two Misses in order to earn credit. If they had known that the bracelets were so weird, they would not have done that.

The two old maids huddled together and leaned against each other, as if only in this way could they gain a little bit of strength.

“This… is indeed not good. This kind of thing has happened before… But…” Puming Nun said hesitantly, looking at the silver bracelets in front of her.

“You can speak your mind, reverend,” Shao Yanru said respectfully.

“There should be something wrong with this pair of bracelets. Instruct someone to check if these bracelets are made of something different from that of other bracelets. If they are made of the same material, instruct someone to check if there is anything strange on these bracelets. If there is nothing strange, maybe they really… contain evil spirits!” Puming Nun said slowly in a low voice.

This time, the two old maids not only felt cold all over but also felt their hearts froze and their faces turned pale.

Others might not know, but the old maids digging out the bracelets clearly knew that all the bracelets were the same. Old Madam bought them at the same time for the Young Masters and Misses in the mansion. It was impossible for them to be different, if only to show that Old Madam treated every Young Master and Miss equally.

Shao Wanru smiled slightly and sneered in her heart. Even if there was something on the bracelets, it had been washed away by the water. The bracelets had been thrown into the water before. After being washed by the water, coupled with the silt at the bottom of the pool, it was impossible to find anything on them. It was quite a set of interlocking stratagems!

She compressed her lips as she calmly watched them talk to each other.

“If they really contain evil spirits, can you hold another religious rite here?” Shao Yanru said anxiously, directly skipping the first two possibilities.

“I’m afraid… I’m afraid we can’t do that. First Miss Shao, you’ve seen the current situation in the Yuhui Nunnery. It’s inconvenient to do that. Besides, because of the religious rite held for Duke Xing’s Mansion, the hall… The Abbess means to stop holding religious rites for the time being,” Puming Nun said hesitantly and seemed to be reluctant to hold a religious rite to get rid of the evil spirits for Duke Xing’s Mansion.

“During these years, there has been lightning and thunder, but it has never caused a fire. This kind of thing… Even our Abbess thinks it appalling and is afraid that something terrible will happen… Recently, the Yuhui Nunnery has got into one and another trouble. Since god has given a warning, we’d better be careful!”

“Is this a warning from god?” On hearing Puming Nun’s words, Shao Yanru asked in panic, turned her head and looked at Shao Wanru. Blocked by the curtained hat, she could not see Shao Wanru’s face.

“You can put it that way,” Puming Nun said implicitly.

The two old maids, who huddled together, were almost desperate. Even the nuns had no way to deal with this evil stuff. It seemed that they were really going to lose their lives.

Flashing lightning and rumbling thunder, coupled with the hall struck by lightning and the condemnation of god, all these signs indicated that it was terrible rather than not good.

“Reverend, did god give such a warning because the pair of bracelets contain evil spirits? Are they also the reason why the hall was struck by lightning and burned down?” Perhaps thinking that she would definitely lose her life, an old maid suddenly gnashed her teeth in desperation, looked up at Puming Nun and asked regardless of her identity as Shao Wanru’s servant.

“That’s, that’s possible!” Puming answered resignedly with a wry smile.

“Well… Fifth Miss… Why do your bracelets contain so much evil spirits? Could it be possible that… you come with evil spirits?”

The other old maid said with an attempt at a smile which made her look like crying.

Under normal circumstances, neither of the two old maids would say something like this. However, scared out of their wits at the moment, they were in no mood to care about anything else. They only thought that if they lost their lives, it was Shao Wanru’s fault. So they looked at Shao Wanru with resentment in their eyes.

“How dare you! Who told you to talk such nonsense!” Yujie rebuked them loudly.

“Since the Fifth Miss came to the Yuhui Nunnery, the Yuhui Nunnery has got into one and another trouble. Even the hall, where the religious rite for the heir and the infanta was held, was struck by lightning. It can be seen that the Fifth Miss has really done something offensive to god. Fifth Miss, since you are possessed by evil spirits, why do you come out to do harm to others? Someone like you should be locked up forever or directly burned to death!”

An old maid inexplicably exerted herself to pounce on Shao Wanru suddenly, while shouting loudly with her eyes full of wildness.

At the explosive point, Yujie hurriedly picked up a book of Buddhist scriptures beside Puming Nun’s hand and smashed it hard on the old maid’s head, while saying in anger, “How dare you frame my master as a servant! Although this pair of bracelets belong to my master, they have always been in Duke Xing’s Mansion. Who knows what kind of harmful dirty things are on them!”

Yujie exerted herself in anger, so the old maid rolled her eyes and passed out after being beat with a book.

Shao Yanru looked at the old maid lying on the ground with pity in her eyes, only thinking that the old maid looked tall and strong, but was a wax spear looking like made of silver which was actually useless.

If the old maid could pounce on Shao Wanru and directly scratch her face, it would be much easier to deal with Shao Wanru after that. Even if Shao Wanru could survive, she would no longer be a threat to Shao Yanru as a disfigured girl. The best future she could expect was to be supported by Duke Xing’s Mansion.

Her grandma’s plan was quite good. Of course, she had played a lot of tricks in secret. She always liked hiding behind the scenes, even in her grandma’s plan.

She would be safe if she pushed her grandma ahead. Now she just needed to watch the show and give it a little push.

“How dare you! Take her away and let her be punished by grandma!” Shao Yanru said with her face darkening, standing on Shao Wanru’s side decisively on the surface.

“Okay, I’ll ask someone to report it to Old Madam in a while!” Shuqi also said angrily, as if she was really defending Shao Wanru.

Shao Wanru lifted the corners of her mouth. Under the veil, her face was not only exceedingly enchanting, but also exuded a trace of gloom and rage. She looked up at Shao Yanru and remained calm, wondering where Shao Yanru was going to lead it.

“Reverend, is there really no way to deal with it? I hope that you can be compassionate and save all members of our mansion!” Shao Yanru said, knelt down and kowtowed to Puming Nun twice heavily.

Her forehead, which was white, immediately turned red after she kowtowed twice heavily.

“Uh…” Puming Nun was very hesitant, seeming to be willing to help them but find it inappropriate to do that.

Seeing her reaction, Shao Yanru knew that there was hope. She immediately kowtowed to Puming Nun twice heavily, reached out to hold Puming Nun’s knees with her hands and said in a choked voice with tears slowly falling from her eyes, “Puming Nun, please save all the members of our Duke Xing’s Mansion.”

“First Miss, you’re too polite. I really can’t help you with it. The abbess has ordered us to stop all affairs recently. What’s more, the officials of the Ministry of Justice are here. In any case, we can’t hold another religious rite for Duke Xing’s Mansion. The lives of the nuns in the Yuhui Nunnery are equal to yours!” Puming Nun refused in a soft voice.

She said in a soft voice, but in a tough tone. Several nuns were killed on the lightning storm night, and it put the Yuhui Nunnery in the firing line. It was not a good thing for all nuns in the Yuhui Nunnery.

The two disciples kneeling behind Puming Nun nodded repeatedly and looked at Shao Wanru unkindly. At this moment, they also thought that everything was caused by Shao Wanru. The Fifth Miss of Duke Xing’s Mansion was not only a jinx, but also possessed by evil spirits. They would like to see her leave the Yuhui Nunnery as soon as possible.

Seeing Puming Nun act so decisively and Shao Yanru beg so piteously, Shao Wanru suddenly smiled. Her voice was soft and elegant, with some childish innocence and ignorance, as if the current situation was nothing serious.

“Big Sister, since Puming Nun said that she couldn’t do anything about it, let’s go. We can find out the reason anyway. Aren’t the officials of the Ministry of Justice in the Yuhui Nunnery now? You can ask the Third Young Master Wen to investigate into this matter clearly!” Shao Wanru said inadvertently, as if she was talking about someone else’s business which had nothing to do with her and no one doubted her.

“How, how can the Ministry of Justice handle this kind of thing? Fifth Sister, you’d better stop joking around. Only Puming Nun can help us eliminate the evil spirits and make Duke Xing’s Mansion peaceful.” Seeing that Shao Wanru not only did not beg Puming Nun but seemed to be carefree and leisurely, Shao Yanru almost laughed out of anger. Shao Wanru was still talking about this kind of thing at this moment.

“Why not? The Ministry of Justice is in charge of cases. This kind of thing is obviously a case in the charge of the Ministry of Justice. It should be handled by the Ministry of Justice!” Shao Wanru said, stood up from the rush cushion and was about to leave after Yujie tidied her clothes, “Big Sister, I’ll turn to the officials of the Ministry of Justice to tell them about it and ask them to take over the case!”

She felt her dress grabbed by Shao Yanru and heard Shao Yanru’s panicked voice, “Fifth Sister, if you turn to the Ministry of Justice for this kind of thing, the entire Duke Xing’s Mansion will become a joke. It’s funny to ask the Ministry of Justice to help us get rid of this kind of supernatural thing.”

After saying that, Shao Yanru turned around and continued begging, “Puming Nun, please save me and all members of our mansion. If you can get rid of the evil spirits, not only my grandma and my mother, but also I will donate a large amount of money to the Yuhui Nunnery.”

As she spoke, she shed tears, looking extremely panic-stricken and pitiful, completely different from her usual demure and decent look.

However, you would find it understandable after thinking about it carefully. Despite her being known for talents and her decorous and decent manners, Shao Yanru was just an unmarried girl who had never heard of this kind of thing, so it was understandable for her to act like this.

Puming Nun looked at Shao Wanru, who had stood up, and then looked at Shao Yanru, who was kneeling at her feet obediently. She sighed helplessly and said, “I can’t hold a religious rite for you directly because of the abbess’s instruction. But I can recommend someone. If she goes to your mansion, she can settle most of the problem.”
