So Miaoyu hurried forward a few steps, unexpectedly running into Sun Shaozong, who had turned back into the courtyard. She quickly took a few steps back until she was at a safe distance from him, and then cautiously stopped.
Hearing Sun Shaozong's loud questioning, she bit her white teeth and suddenly put her palms together and bowed, saying, "Amitabha, after hearing what Second Master Bao explained to me that day, I realized that I had wrongly accused you, Your Excellency. I beg you to forgive me and not to lower yourself to my level."
Using a Buddhist phrase and referring to herself as "I" twice, it was unclear whether she could really be considered a Buddhist nun.
However...
Sun Shaozong had already seen through her.
"Hmph."
He coldly snorted. "Alright, if you have something you want me to help with, just say it. Don't try to deceive me with such a fake attitude."
Miaoyu's reluctant apology revealed that she had another motive.
"Your Excellency really has good insight."
Although she was exposed, Miaoyu didnt seem to mind. She bowed again with her palms together and said solemnly, "To be honest, I stopped you to plead for mercy for my fellow nuns in Shuiyue Monastery. Although they have committed various sins, they were ultimately forced into it and can be forgiven."
Sun Shaozong didnt expect that she was going to plead mercy for the nuns in Shuiyue Monastery. Werent nuns supposed to be enemies?
"Haha, what an excuse for their sins."Fịndd new updates at novelhall.com
He laughed and then said seriously, "Have you not heard the saying, forgivable love, unforgivable sin? Since those nuns have become accessories to murder, they will naturally be punished by the law."
When Miaoyu first saw him, she was like a startled bird, but now she stood tall and spoke confidently.
"Even if their sins are unforgivable, their unborn children are innocent. The Buddha said that saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Moreover, it is not necessarily only one life. Your Excellency, please show mercy and spare them from being killed."
"You don't need to worry about this."
Sun Shaozong sneered, "The Great Zhou Law clearly stipulates that pregnant women who commit serious crimes will not be punished until after giving birth. Those nuns are only under house arrest, not imprisoned."
Seeing Miaoyu's delighted expression as she recited Buddhist prayers, he added, "But don't be too happy yet. The real trouble is yet to come."
"What trouble?"
"People who are going to die often take extreme actions." Sun Shaozong smiled darkly. "You will know then."
With that, he went on the road without turning back.
"Extreme acts..."
Miaoyu chewed on these words repeatedly. At first, her face showed some flinching, but it didn't take long for her to look firm again. Miaoyu struggled in her heart.
After Sun Shaozong walked out of the distance, he started to worry again. Now that the remote courtyard has been targeted by Miaoyu, how could he have a private meeting with Pinger?
He wandered aimlessly for a while and suddenly heard several shouts coming from afar, and it was calling for him.
"Governor Sun, Governor Sun!"
Sun Shaozong hurriedly followed the voice to meet him. When he got close to the shouting man, he was stunned. He saw that the man was slim and good-looking, with a right arm tied to his waist. He was speechless and awkward when walking.
"Are you... Jia Yun?"
It turned out that this man was none other than Jia Yun, who had been severely injured by Jia Qin.
"It's me."
Seeing Jia Yun kneeling on his knees and kowtowing with his head, he said, "I have always remembered in my heart since I was saved that day. I just didn't dare to go to the door and just heard that my Godfather wanted to come here to talk to you, so I took the initiative to ask for the job so that I can thank you personally!"
Sun Shaozong wondered and asked, "Godfather? Who is your Godfather again?"
Jia Yun stood up and said, "Uncle Bao doesn't disdain me. He has recognized me as his Godson. Now I'm helping him with some chores."
Tch!
He was clearly a few years older than Baoyu, but now he recognized Baoyu as his Godfather.
This was really
Sun Shaozong reached out and held him up without saying anything, but he didn't know what to say. In the end, he just said, "It's really hard for you."
When Jia Yun heard it, his eyes immediately turned red. He quickly lowered his head to cover it up and then forced a smile. "Please follow me to the front yard, and don't let my Godfather wait for a long time."
