Chapter 70: Going to the Buddha Temple
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“During this period of time, I’ve been reading Buddhist scriptures in the courtyard. There are always some parts of the Heart Sutra which 1 don’t understand. Coincidentally, I was lucky this time. Master Yu Chan will be teaching the Heart Sutra in five days’ time, so I want to go and listen.”
Bai Jingyuan curled his lower lip slightly, “Sure, I’ll get someone to send you there.”
Bai Xianyu added, “I might stay in the temple for a period of time. Master Yu Chan will stay there for a month to answer everyone’s questions.”
Bai Jingyuan frowned. “Are you going there for a month?”
The Buddha Temple was not close to the capital. Even if one went by horseback, it would take two days and a night. If she planned to stay for a month, together with the carriage and luggage, she would probably have to set off tomorrow.
The most important issue is security.
Bai Xianyu nodded, her eyes sparkled. “Can I?”
Bai Jingyuan was silent for a while. Looking at her smiling face, he finally compromised. “…Take more guards with you.”
Bai Xianyu smiled. She knew that her Third Brother would agree. “There’s no need to take many. Just one or two will do. It’s better to keep the forbidden Buddhist grounds quiet.”
Bai Jingyuan immediately called Bai Li over. “Go with Little Yu tomorrow.”
Bai Xianyu said, “Bai Li should stay by Third Brother’s side. I’ll just bring two secret guards. No one would have the guts to do anything to me.”
After all, the price of hurting her was not something that ordinary people could bear. Even the princes and princesses had to be wary of the General’s Manor behind her.
“If he goes with you, I, your brother, will feel more reassured.” Bai Jingyuan was a man of his word. “If you encounter any trouble, you must get someone to send a message to Brother.”
The girl hesitated for a moment and nodded. Bai Li also stood in front of her and bowed. “Miss, Bai Li will escort you to the temple tomorrow.”
Bai Xianyu nodded at him. Bai Li was the commander of the secret guards in the family. He had been by Third Brother’s side since he was young and was a person that could be trusted.
After the two of them finished speaking, Old Madam finally could not take it anymore. “Xianyu, have you forgotten something?”
Bai Xianyu said directly, “1 won’t help Uncle’s family seek an official position, and neither will Third Brother.”
Bai Jingyuan frowned. “Grandmother, are you here today to ask for an official position for Uncle?”
Old Madam met her third grandson’s gaze and felt a little afraid. “That’s right, Yuan’er… You’re so capable, and your Uncle is also a talent. You might as well help your own family member, don’t you think so?”
Bai Jingyuan’s lips curled into a cold smile as he repeated, “Talent?”
Old Madam straightened her neck. “That’s right. Your uncle has been smart since he was young. Everyone in the village had said that he would have a bright future in the future. It was just that he had been unlucky. Otherwise, he would be a high-ranking official now.”
After she finished speaking, she saw that Bai Jingyuan still had no reaction and was a little anxious. “You can do this, right? I heard from Yuan Tai the day before yesterday that you promoted the son of a farmer. He’s just ranked slightly higher than our Yuan Tai in the exams.”
Bai Jingyuan first glanced at Bai Xianyu. “If you’re leaving tomorrow, 1’11 get someone to prepare the things for you today. You may go now.”
Bai Xianyu nodded. Then, he rubbed the top of her head with his warm palm.
However, the moment Bai Xianyu walked out, she heard her Third Brother’s extremely cold voice. “Get someone to show Grandmother why she was talking nonsense in the daytime.”
Needless to say, Old Madam’s expression must be very ugly. Bai Xianyu thought in her heart about how Grandmother, who prided herself on being smart, had even planned to pull Third Brother into her schemes. However, Third Brother abhorred being schemed against and coerced the most..
