The wonderful life of modern women in ancient times

Chapter 227 Cao Fangqing worships Buddha

Cao Fangqing returned to Anyang Marquis' Mansion, unaware that Lanzhi had completely betrayed her and confessed everything that happened that year. She thought that Lanzhi was taken away by the Sixth Prince and was definitely dead.

According to common sense, she was right. Who would see the sun tomorrow if they attacked the prince? It was a luxury to have a clean death!

After she returned home, she warned the servants who followed her not to tell anyone else about this, and then hurried back to her own courtyard.

"Qingmei, go to the old lady's room and borrow a Buddhist scripture!"

Hearing Cao Fangqing's order, Qingmei was stunned and asked in confusion: "Madam, what do you want the Buddhist scriptures for?"

"If I tell you to go, just go. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

Cao Fangqing scolded impatiently.

"Yes, slave, go now!"

Seeing that the lady was angry, Qingmei didn't dare to say anything more and hurriedly ran to the old lady's yard!

"Madam, what's wrong with you? Why are you so confused?"

Nanny Cheng looked at Cao Fangqing, who looked flustered, and asked worriedly.

"Mammy, go and close the door!"

After Nanny Cheng closed the door, Cao Fangqing called her to her side and whispered in her ear what had happened today.

"Madam, don't be afraid. Since the Sixth Prince doesn't want to make this public, this matter must end here. We will do as the Sixth Prince tells us. I'm sorry, Madam!"

Thinking about the fact that Cao Fangqing would not only have to copy Buddhist scriptures behind closed doors for the next ten days, but also have to slap herself every day, Nanny Cheng felt distressed. As for Lanzhi who was pushed out by Cao Fangqing, she didn't even mention her.

"Madam, I have retrieved the Buddhist scriptures. Can I come in now?"

Cao Fangqing was talking in a low voice with Nanny Cheng when Qingmei's voice came from outside the door.

Nanny Cheng hurried to open the door and let Qingmei in.

"When you went to get the Buddhist scriptures, did the old lady ask you anything?"

Cao Fangqing took the Buddhist scripture, flipped through it, and asked.

"The old lady didn't ask anything, she just said it would be good for you to read more Buddhist scriptures! She also said..."

Seeing Qingmei's hesitant look, Cao Fangqing snorted and said, "Tell me, what else did the old lady say?"

"The old lady also said that you should have read more Buddhist scriptures. If your mind is calm, you won't have demonic obstacles. If you don't have demonic obstacles, you won't do wrong things. She also said, she also said that you should copy more Buddhist scriptures as a way of repenting for the wrong things you did before!"

Qingmei lowered her head and whispered what the old lady said.

"Humph! This old bastard! Whatever I did wrong, she still dislikes me no matter what I do!"

Cao Fangqing imagined the old lady's lecturing look when she said this, and she felt very annoyed!

"Madam, be careful what you say!"

When Nanny Cheng heard Cao Fangqing cursing the old lady, she was so scared that she quickly looked outside the door and tugged at her sleeve.

Qingmei lowered her head and pretended she heard nothing.

Cao Fangqing also knew that trouble comes from the mouth. The old lady had many spies in this mansion, so she quickly shut her mouth, frowned and stopped talking.

"Qingmei, starting today, Madam will worship Buddha for ten days. You must deliver food to the small Buddhist temple at the back on time every day. Also, remember to boil a few eggs every day and deliver them while they are hot. Also, prepare some blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing medicine in case Madam hurts her knees!"

Seeing that Cao Fangqing had calmed down, Nanny Cheng walked over to Qingmei and whispered instructions.

"Yes, Madam, I will remember it!"

Qingmei nodded seriously.

"By the way, Madam, why didn't you see Lanzhi come back? Didn't she go out with the Madam?"

Seeing that her wife had been back for a long time but Lanzhi was still nowhere to be seen, Qingmei asked with a puzzled look on her face.

"Lanzhi will never come back. Don't mention her again, and don't ask about her affairs. Remember?"

Nanny Cheng looked at Qingmei with a warning look.

When Qingmei heard this, her heart skipped a beat. Looking at Nanny Cheng's warning look, she quickly squatted down to show that she understood.

Nanny Cheng asked Qingmei to go downstairs to prepare things, while she took pens, ink, paper, inkstone, Buddhist scriptures and other things, and went to the small Buddhist hall at the back with Cao Fangqing.

Cao Fangqing sat there obediently and copied Buddhist scriptures.

She didn't know whether the Sixth Prince would send someone to keep an eye on her, so she didn't dare to neglect the Sixth Prince's orders.

When Qingmei came to the small Buddhist temple with boiled eggs, dinner and blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing ointment, she heard a slapping sound coming from inside.

She looked at the ointment in the tray, then thought about Lanzhi who had disappeared inexplicably. She guessed something, her heart tightened, and she quickly moved away from the small Buddhist temple.

After the clapping noises inside stopped, she pretended to have just arrived, stepped heavier, and approached the Buddhist hall while shouting, "Mammy, dinner is ready! Shall we bring it in now?"

After a while, the door creaked open, and Nanny Cheng took the tray and said, "You don't have to come in, I'll take it in. By the way, have you told the Marquis that the Madam wants to stay at home and worship Buddha for ten days?"

"I have reported this to the Marquis, and he said that Madam can just focus on worshipping Buddha, and that he and the old lady will take care of the affairs of the mansion!"

Upon hearing this, Nanny Cheng nodded, let Qingmei leave, and turned back into the house.

"Madam, come here, I will roll you with eggs, and then rub some ointment, but don't let your face swell up!"

As Nanny Cheng spoke, she took an egg and gently rolled it on Cao Fangqing's face.

After finishing her work, she put the food on the table and served her.

"How can Qingmei do this? Why are all the dishes so watery and without any meat at all?"

Cao Fangqing was in a bad mood because of the pain in her face. When she saw the vegetables on the table, she was so angry that she threw her chopsticks to the ground.

"Madam, this is all what I asked Qingmei to prepare. Since you said you want to worship Buddha, you have to look good. Just be patient. Ten days will pass quickly. Then I will ask someone to cook your favorite dishes to nourish you!"

Nanny Cheng coaxed Cao Fangqing with soft words, just like she was coaxing a child.

After saying that, he took another pair of chopsticks and handed them to Cao Fangqing, and picked up food for her himself.

Cao Fangqing ate some reluctantly, then lit the oil lamp and sat behind the desk to copy Buddhist scriptures.
