When Xiao Yu saw the expression on Liang Zhou’s face, she asked tentatively, “Madam, did you not sleep well last night? You look a little tired…”
Liang Zhou nodded. “Yes. I’ll be going to the spa to get a massage and relax. When Master comes home, you can attend to him.”
Xiao Yu was slightly taken aback. The woman in front of her always waited for her husband to come home no matter what. Moreover, she would personally take care of his daily needs.
Liang Zhou lowered her head and ate the breakfast that had been prepared for her. A determined expression could be seen on her face at this moment. From now on, she had to take good care of herself. She would eat healthily, lose weight, and take care of her appearance. She would start all over again; it was not too late.
…
Gao Wen kneeled on a small futon on the ground as she piously chanted Buddhist scriptures. Before rising to her feet, she kowtowed seriously.
As she walked to the entrance, she stuffed a wad of cash into the donation box. When the young monk standing by the entrance bowed at her, she returned the bow before she walked out of the temple.
She let out a long sigh once she left the temple. She had visited many temples in M City, but she still could not figure out what was wrong. She thought about reaching out to Jiang Jin, but she did not want to see the young woman who resembled Ye Xin.
“Gao Wen?”
A surprised voice rang behind Gao Wen at this moment. When she turned around, she saw someone she knew.
“Ah, it’s really you!” Liang Zhou said warmly.
Gao Wen forced a smile on her face. “What a coincidence. What are you doing here?”
Although the duo was not familiar with each other, meeting in the suburbs far away from the city in a temple felt like
“Gao Wen?”A surprised voice sounded behind her.
She turned around.
“AH, it’s really you!”Liang Zhou welcomed her warmly.
Gao Wen forced a smile. “What a coincidence! Why are you here?”
They were not very familiar with each other, but meeting in this temple in the suburbs far away from the city, felt serendipitous. As such, they entered the meditation hall where temple goers could rest.
Liang Zhou took a sip of tea before she said, “The tea and rice in this temple are really good. I come here quite often, but this is my first time seeing you here. Did you come to the temple to give thanks?”
“Give thanks?” Gao Wen looked at Liang Zhou in confusion.
Liang Zhou set her teacup on the table before she said with a smile. “Yes. Mu Qing often had nightmares in the past so I found a master here to help me with his problem. Soon after, Mu Qing was really cured of his nightmares! Since he’s doing really well, I came to give thanks.”
“Master? What master?” Gao Wen’s eyes lit up immediately.
Liang Zhou looked as though she was at a loss for words as though she did not know how to explain herself.
Gao Wen asked urgently, “Where did you find the master? Where can I find him? Is he really able to solve problems?”
Liang Zhou solemnly said, “Of course! Otherwise, why would I come here to give thanks? Everything is going so smoothly, after all.”
Gao Wen seemed somewhat hesitant at this moment.
Liang Zhou moved closer and looked around to confirm that no one was paying attention to them before she said in a conspiratorial tone, “Mu Qing had trouble sleeping at night for a long time. We’d seen countless doctors and experts and tried so many methods, but nothing worked. Later, someone suggested I meet the master. Guess what the master said when I saw him?”
Gao Wen’s interest was piqued. She instinctively leaned closer to Liang Zhou and listened attentively.
“Mu Qing and I originally had a baby. However, due to an accident, we lost the baby. Indeed, it was Mu Qing’s fault for arriving late, resulting in the loss of the baby. The master said that the unborn child was disturbing Mu Qing, causing him to be unable to sleep at night,” Liang Zhou said in a low voice.
Gao Wen was aware of this matter. At that time, the Old Madam of the Mu family had been determined to protect her legitimate daughter-in-law so Liang Zhou was not welcomed in the family even if Liang Zhou was pregnant. At that time, Mu Qing was young so his mind was still fickle, unable to make a decision. In the end, due to Mu Qing’s wishy-washy attitude, Liang Zhou lost her child.. It made sense to her that the couple’s unborn child resented Mu Qing.
