Chapter 4 Arrival of the Abbot
“Lv Xin, please help me up …” Hua Qiyue said softly. Lv Xin came to herself at once. You Shui felt sorry about Hua Qiyue and she immediately went outside to get some warm water to sober her up.
Lv Xin just held Hua Qiyue gently by the wrist, unexpectedly, Hua Qiyue’s body swayed. Lv Xin was only twelve or thirteen years old, how could she possibly hold 18 years old Hua Qiyue?
“Sister, may I ask your Lanzhu ….” Hua Qiyue looked at Hua Mengshi. This woman was acting noble and well-bred in front of everyone, she would definitely not refuse.
“Lanzhu, quickly come forward to help Miss!”
Hua Mengshi hurriedly said. No matter how dissatisfied Lanzhu was with Hua Qiyue, and no matter how much she despised, she could not disobey orders of her master. Furthermore, in front of so many pilgrims, she would not embarrass her master.
Lanzhu immediately stepped forward and held the other hand of Hua Qiyue. She left only after Hua Qiyue stood steadily, with contempt in her eyes.
“Who’s making noise here?”
An old and powerful voice came from outside the door. The surrounding pilgrim, who were watching from outside, got out of the way, an old thin monk in high spirit came in.
He was Master Hanming, the abbot of Hanyue Temple.
When Master Hanming received the report from the monk, knowing that someone was making trouble in the west wing, so he led his disciples over here urgently.
With a glance, Master Hanming saw that the new young monk was standing at the side, with mess dress. He looked very scared and was trembling, with an ambiguous lip print on his collarbone .
“What happened?”
The arrival of Master Hanming made everyone turn silent. Yihan got down on his knees in front of Master and cried, “Master, please help me! That patroness… indecently assaulted me… but now, she said it was me who did it … ”
Tears dropped from his eyes, winning the compassion from pilgrims.
Countless gazes with contempt focused on Hua Qiyue.
Hua Mengshi was extremely pleased in her heart, “let’s see what else she can say, this will definitely finish Hua Qiyue!”
“Aboot Hanming! Hua Qiyue was wrongly accused, please demand justice for me! ”
Hua Qiyue made a bow to the abbot, her beautiful face was cold. Her eyebrows were like a painting, and her features were like a celestial goddess.
Hanming’s eyes were like lightning as he looked coldly at Monk Yihan, he did not expect the new monk would cause trouble so quickly, it was too much of a coincidence, “Yihan, tell me what happened!”
“Yes, abbot! Senior Qing Yuan asked me to light a lantern at east wing, because there were pilgrims staying. Hanyue Temple was too far away from the capital, so our temple will allow a group of pilgrims to stay. Who would ever think … When I arrived with the lantern, the patroness pounced me and was trying to tear off my belt and undress me … ”
Monk Yihan’s words were pitiful, making some of the pilgrims to accuse Hua Qiyue of being vicious and lecherous.
Hua Qiyue’s eyes turned red with a sad face, “Master Hanming, today is the day of Matchmaker. Two days ago, I received an invitation from my sisters to Hanyue Temple to pray for my mother who passed away early, but when I was kneeling down to pray, someone suddenly snatch the Green Jade Phoenix Hairpin on my head. That hairpin was given by my mother …”
She took a deep breath with her eyes slightly red, and her eyes were so sincere and honest, it didn’t seem like she was lying.
“That’s why I chased after the thief. But I didn’t expect that the thief would rush into this room. I pushed the door and entered, but was pounced onto the ground. Someone knocked on my head heavily from behind … I didn’t even know what happened after I fainted. When I woke up, Monk Yihan was harrasing me. Please demand justice for me!”
When Master Hanming heard this, he immediately felt that there was something fishy.
Monk Yihan had only been here for a few days. Although he had been strictly following the rules, but if he had intentional motives, then it would be something different.
