Chapter 275 The Old Nun Carrying Water

Behind the kitchen is the back mountain, where there are many plots of land opened up by the nuns, where they grow various crops. The nuns spend most of their time working here.

Pilgrims who come to the temple to worship Buddha usually stay for lunch, which is made of vegetables grown by them.

During festivals, there are more pilgrims and more vegetables are needed.

And all the work is done by the nuns themselves.

Cooking, washing clothes, cleaning, and maintaining the halls in the temple.

Management of crops in the fields.

When the prince sent the second old lady to the nunnery, he clearly told her to fetch water and wash clothes.

Although Mount Kutuo is not high, there is no well on the mountain, and people have to go down the mountain to fetch water for drinking.

There are many small ponds dug in the fields or on the hillsides to store water. They are used for irrigation and cannot be used for domestic water.

Yu Yuanzheng brought Shangguan Ru to the back mountain and saw two old nuns picking vegetables in the field. She took the initiative to step forward and say hello.

"Thank you for your hard work, both nuns." Yu Yuanzheng said with a smile.

"Amitabha, why are you here? It's so messy here, your shoes will get dirty. You'd better go back to the front hall quickly."

An old nun saw a noble lady dressed so luxuriously walking towards the back mountain, and quickly wanted to lead her back to the hall.

"Master, we are here to look for someone." Yu Yuanzheng immediately stated the purpose of their visit.

"Who should the donor be looking for?" The old nun was confused, but she soon figured it out.

Some of them were sent by wealthy families.

Many of them will make trouble for a while when they are first brought in, but their hosts always have a way to make them behave themselves.

When they truly reform and are forgiven by their families, they will be taken away, but that number is very rare.

Most of them end up like them, doing all kinds of work.

Then after a few years, they all devoted themselves to Buddhism.

Yu Yuanzheng was stunned for a moment. She didn't know what name the second old lady had given her when she came here.

"Master, do you know a girl named Jiang Qingqing? She should be sixty years old and was sent from Prince Rong's Mansion." Yu Yuanzheng simply said that she was sent from Prince Rong's Mansion.

People with this kind of identity should attract a lot of attention.

Don’t think this is a nunnery, where there are people there are rivers and lakes.

When the old nun heard this, her face looked strange.

That old woman wants to curse everyone she sees every day.

No one likes her at all.

She often brags in front of these old people that she will definitely be able to leave here in the future.

Her grandson is the third prince, and her daughter is the emperor's concubine.

She even had the audacity to say that if the third prince ascended the throne, she would be the emperor's biological grandmother, and she had been waiting for that day.

After she said this, it was reported to the host, who scolded her severely, and she never dared to say it again.

Moreover, she was given the additional task of fetching water.

"What's wrong? Don't you two nuns know her?" Yu Yuanzheng noticed that the two of them looked a little strange.

The two were afraid that the nobleman in front of them was here to take the old man back to Prince Rong's Mansion.

Since they bullied that old man before, will they be retaliated against?

Thinking of this possibility, their faces dimmed instantly.

"Just follow this road down the mountain. You will meet him." Seeing that Yu Yuanzheng did not seem eager to see anyone, the other old nun felt relieved and told her.

She thought that if they were here to pick someone up, they wouldn't come here to ask them, but would definitely go directly to the host.

"Thank you, both nuns." Yu Yuanzheng thanked them, then took Shangguan Ru and walked in the direction she pointed.

Shangguan Ru now knew why her sister-in-law brought her here.

Take her to meet her biological grandmother.

But there was no ripple in her heart, only hatred.

What she hated most was this so-called grandmother.

If she had not discovered that her biological mother was scheming against her uncle, if she had not been so ambitious as to want to scheme against her uncle and call her son to defile her biological mother, her own fate would not have been so unfortunate.

Even I won't be born.

"Sister-in-law." Shangguan Ru called softly.

Yu Yuanzheng stopped immediately.

She was a bit rash and should have asked Sister Ru if she was willing to meet that annoying person.

She just wanted to see how the old man would react when he saw Sister Ru. It was just a bad idea.

She actually forgot that this was a kind of harm to Sister Ru.

She really deserves a beating.

"Sister Ru, I'm sorry. It was my sister-in-law who was inconsiderate. You don't want to see her, right? If you don't want to, let's go back now." Yu Yuanzheng was very glad that it was not too late to realize her mistake.

"No, I want to see her. All this happened because of her. I want to let her know who I am and break her beautiful dream." Shangguan Ru said bravely and hatefully.

Yu Yuanzheng smiled brightly after hearing this.

"It's great that Sister Ru can face reality. You won't be afraid of any difficulties in life in the future. You are the best girl." Yu Yuanzheng gave a thumbs up and praised.

The two continued walking down the mountain road.

The two maids following behind, Ziyue and Zhilan, also followed silently.

After walking about two miles down the mountain, they saw an old nun carrying a load and walking slowly up the mountain, swaying with every step.

But looking more closely, it was not the Second Old Lady at all.

With so many people in the nunnery needing to feed, it would be impossible for the second old lady to fetch water alone; it simply would not be enough.

Several people continued to walk down the mountain.

The three nuns carrying water I met one after another were not that old woman.

We walked a little further and finally reached the foot of the mountain when we saw the second old lady wearing a Buddhist hat, with a hunched back and carrying only half a bucket of water.

No, she had been divorced by her father for the old prince. She was no longer the second wife, but just Jiang, the Jiang who was dreaming and waiting for the third prince to ascend the throne.

Half a year passed, and she was doing the hardest work in this nunnery. She was no longer the pampered second lady of the royal palace.

As expected, she looked much older, no longer having the fair skin she used to have, but a tanned, wrinkled face.

No wonder everyone wants to be a noble, marry into a wealthy family, and enjoy wealth and glory.

Yu Yuanzheng and the others did not go down directly to her, but stood about ten feet away from Jiang, waiting for her to climb the mountain step by step with difficulty.

She was swaying as she walked. While the others ahead of her had filled their buckets with water, she only had half a bucket.

But she looked the oldest of the people they met.

Jiang walked up step by step, and if he wasn't careful, some water would be shaken out.

When she reached the top of the mountain, there was probably only half a bucket of water left in the bucket.

Then she doesn't have to do anything all day, just fetching water is enough to keep her busy all day.

I don’t know how many tasks Huizhen has assigned to her.

When she finally walked to a large stone slab where Yu Yuanzheng and the other three were standing, she was planning to put down the bucket and take a rest, but when she looked up, she saw four people.

And there was someone she hated with all her heart.

"Yu Yuanzheng." As soon as Jiang saw her, she gritted her teeth and squeezed out three words.

Jiang always had a premonition that Yu Yuanzheng would pose the greatest threat to her.

This feeling began from the moment she married into the palace and served tea.

That's why she always makes trouble for Yu Yuanzheng.

It turned out that her hunch was right.

Now when she saw someone, she put down the bucket, put her hands on her hips, and looked like she wanted to fight.

"Yu Yuanzheng, are you here to laugh at me?" Jiang could only think of this possibility.

"No, I'm not here to laugh at you. I came to visit you sincerely, and I brought someone for you to meet."

Yu Yuanzheng smiled brightly, without any intention of finding fault.
