Zhenfubao waved his hand and the warehouse was full of grain, and the whole family regretted it

Chapter 490 The only one who truly harms you is yourself

After burning incense, everyone followed the master to the backyard.

In front of Baiyun Temple is the main hall for burning incense and worshiping Buddha. At the back are several bamboo houses where nuns who practice Buddhism live. Each house is independent.

The master walked and introduced:

"Mrs. Huo lives in the back mountain. She lives in a remote place and is usually alone.

I'll take you over to visit her."

A group of people walked along the gravel path, following the abbot to the back of the mountain.

At the back of the procession, a few noble ladies gathered together and spoke in low voices.

"Is everything arranged?" Madam Zhao, who was in the lead, looked around.

Madam Zhang beside her nodded immediately:

"Don't worry, just wait and see!

I want to see how Madam Huo, who usually acts so noble, can put on airs later!"

Several people covered their mouths and laughed secretly, their eyes full of gloating: "She has been pretending in the temple all day long, today we must expose her true colors!"

Everyone followed the nun through layers of bamboo forest, and the further they went, the more remote the place became.

Finally, they arrived at the bamboo house where Mrs. Huo lived, and suddenly strange noises were heard in the house.

The team that was originally talking and laughing suddenly became quiet. Everyone looked at each other, and their faces changed.

The temple master's face flushed crimson, his chest heaving violently: "I can't believe it! Madam Huo usually looks well-behaved and always says she wants to concentrate on cultivation, but she actually..."

The other ladies immediately gathered together to discuss:

"That's right! After all, she used to be the mistress of the Huo family. How could she do such a shameful thing?

The Huo family is now completely disgraced!"

"Oh, look at this!" Madam Chen deliberately raised her voice and said, "This doesn't look like a place for meditation at all. It's clearly a brothel full of filth!"

"Back then, she relied on her status as the mistress of the house to bully others, and now, she's having an affair in the Taoist temple! Such a shameless person deserves to be thrown into a pig cage!"

"She's also said to be the widow of the God of War!" Madam Sun's sharp voice pierced the air, and her fingertips pointed at the bamboo house.

"Such shameless behavior would make all the ancestors of the Huo family ancestral hall so angry that they would die!

If such a thing had come from my family, he would have been thrown into a pig cage and drowned in a pond long ago!" The ladies echoed in agreement, their voices of spitting mixed with the stomping of embroidered shoes.

Just as everyone was about to leave, a clear voice suddenly rang out from deep within the bamboo forest: "Sisters, why are you here?"

Mrs. Huo appeared with a bamboo basket, with a few dead leaves stuck to her hair, and the basket was full of mushrooms.

She looked at the people at the door with different expressions and said with a smile, "I went to the back mountain to pick mushrooms early this morning. I was just thinking of making mushroom soup for lunch. Since you're here, why don't we have lunch together?"

Several noble ladies were stunned. “Why are you here? No, then… who is in there?”

Madam Huo shook her head and said, "I don't understand! Why would you do such a thing in such a sacred place for Buddhism? Aren't you afraid of retribution?"

Mulan and Cui Ya strode forward and kicked the gate open with a bang.

As soon as the door was pushed open, the situation in the room could be seen clearly.

Madam Huo's face turned pale instantly, and her lips trembled. "How is this possible? Why is Tang Yan'er here?"

The other wives looked at each other and began to whisper, "I never thought Tang Yan'er could do such a thing. We really misjudged her before."

"That's right. Going into someone else's sister-in-law's nunnery and making trouble, isn't this deliberately pushing Madam Huo into the fire pit?

How will the Madam explain this to her family in the future?"

Lin Wanwan watched with great interest. After all, she was still a child and could watch anything. However, Mrs. Huo was quite enjoyable.

A group of people just looked at it stupidly, and no one said anything.

After a long time, Mrs. Huo Er finally saw the noble lady outside. She was so scared that she rolled off the bed and said, "Ah...Lu Zhenzhu, you dare to hurt me, you actually dare to hurt me, just wait, I will tear you into pieces."

Lu Zhenzhu was the name of Madam Huo. She straightened her back and looked at Madam Huo and said, "Tie her up and send her back to the Huo family. As for how to deal with her, it depends on Madam Huo's attitude."

Tang Yan'er quickly put on her clothes, knelt on the ground, and cried:

"Sister-in-law, please let me go! I know I was wrong. If I were sent back to the Huo family, I would have no way to survive!

I'll do whatever you ask me to do, please..."

Madam Huo looked at her and shook her head.

"I'm not in charge of the family now, so I really can't control how the Huo family treats you. Just send her back!

Sister-in-law, we are sisters-in-law. I will chant sutras and pray for you."

Tang Yan'er went crazy: "Hahaha... chanting sutras and praying for blessings? Why are you pretending? You just want to hurt me..."

"Tang Yan'er, the one who has truly harmed you is only you." After Madam Huo said this, she went straight to the front hall.

Mulan brought a few maids and took Madam Huo away. Zhao Qiaoniang sighed and said,

“I hope you ladies will show some mercy on today’s matter.

If the dirty things in the inner house were to get out, it would bring shame to the Huo family and would not benefit your reputation either.

The Huo family will remember this kindness, and if you need any help in the future, please feel free to ask."

Several ladies smiled awkwardly, and one of them lowered her head and nodded first, "Madam Zhao is right. We are all sensible and would never gossip."

The lady in the moon-white skirt gently pinched her handkerchief, her eyes flickering as she stepped back half a step. "I should have been helping my sister clean up the mess, but my youngest son suddenly got a fever..."

Before he could finish his words, another lady in a scarlet jacket chimed in, "That's right! My boss was just nagging about checking the account books this morning. If I don't get back soon, I'm afraid he'll cause a scene."

The two looked at each other, and retreated out of the courtyard with their skirts fluttering.

The remaining ladies also made excuses, some said they had to go to the temple to burn incense, and some said they had to take care of the children.

But after a moment, the rustling sounds of maids and servants hurriedly tidying up their skirts and adjusting their hairpins and rings could be heard in front of the courtyard gate. As the jingling of the hairpins and rings gradually faded away, only the sounds of discussion were left, dissipating in the wind.

Madam Huo collapsed to the ground.

"What a sin! Qiao Niang, I have to thank you for what happened today.

If you hadn't arrived in time, I would have died here today."

Zhao Qiaoniang looked at her and said, "Mom, we are all family. I have wanted to take you to my place for a long time. You insist on staying here alone. It's not safe here."

Madam Huo looked at her and said:

"I'm actually still afraid of getting you into trouble. Since I was a child, my family has called me a disaster star.

Later, my husband, Huo Yinglang, also died. Everyone said I was a jinx, and I was afraid I would bring bad luck to you."

Zhao Qiaoniang looked at her and smiled faintly:

"Mom, our family never believes in this. Look at this girl, she has been called a disaster star since she was born.

But now everyone around her is living well, and those people just can't stand seeing you do well."
