"That’s Young Master Zhou!"
Dai Hanmi suddenly realized.
The Crown Prince of the Great Zhou Kingdom.
Yun Jinnian took a few steps forward and bowed slightly, "Young Master Zhou!"
"Miss Fourth, you’re here too, what a coincidence!" Zhou Yunshen said, as he looked into the distance.
This spot was indeed excellent, not only offering a view of the towering mountains but also a faint glimpse of Capital City in the distance.
Should anything happen in the Capital City, Huguo Temple could quickly become aware of it. Perhaps that was why Huguo Temple was established here!
A coincidence? More likely, there were ulterior motives.
But she did not expose this thought, "Yes, indeed a coincidence!"
"The scenery here is nice, and you can see the Capital City. How did you find this place, Miss Fourth?"
Zhou Yunshen was making small talk.
Especially when he saw Dai Hanbo not too far away, he felt a sense of crisis in his heart.
One Chu Yu was still an unresolved issue, why had another one appeared?
"It was a little monk from the temple who told us there were wild fruits here, so we came over. The scenery here is nice. Take your time to enjoy it, Young Master Zhou, we will be heading back!" Yun Jinnian said, bowing slightly before pulling Dai Hanmi away with her.
Dai Hanmi looked back at Zhou Yunshen.
Dai Hanbo hurriedly followed.
Once they were far away, Dai Hanmi finally said, "So that’s the Crown Prince of the Great Zhou Kingdom? He seems quite amiable!"
"Well, that’s how it looks on the surface," Yun Jinnian said earnestly.
Dai Hanmi burst into laughter, "I know, you want to say ’It’s easy to know a person’s face, but not their heart,’ but after all, he is the Crown Prince of the Great Zhou Kingdom, which is much more powerful than Tianchu Country. Are we handling this the right way?"
"In Huguo Temple, he did not reveal his identity. To me, right now, he’s merely a patient, Young Master Zhou. As for the Crown Prince of the Great Zhou Kingdom, that’s for after we return to the Capital City!"
She tightened her grip on Yun Jinnian’s hand.
Yun Jinnian was truly wonderful, strikingly beautiful, extraordinarily enchanting, kind-hearted, and amiable.
Truly a bargain for Prince Rui.
And I felt sorry for Third Brother, having missed his chance with Yun Jinnian.
In this lifetime, it would be hard to say whether the three could find another woman they admired.
"Sister Hanmi, why do you sigh?" Yun Jinnian asked softly.
Yun Jinnian wasn’t upset, and just walked slowly with Dai Hanmi.
Her heart was at peace, serene. All the resentment, anger, heartache, and loss seemed to no longer exist.
Once, Yun Jinnian had thought, as long as they did not harm her, she could spend this lifetime minding her own business, not seeking revenge since all those were matters of a past life.
And in her past life, she was largely to blame for the outcome she met.
Foolish, insecure, and lacking ambition.
In this life, all she wanted was to strive for goodness and, with Momo, to mend the bond between mother and son!
Upon returning to the Zen yard, Yun Jinnian saw Han Zhong, "Uncle Zhong, what brings you here?"
"Miss Fourth, your sister has returned to the Han Residence. When will you go back?" Han Zhong asked.
Yun Jinnian thought she would be excited and happy, but unexpectedly, she felt quite calm and responded with a slight smile, "Let’s go back on the twelfth. I still have a few scriptures to complete. I’ll stay at Huguo Temple for another two days!"
In the afternoon, Yun Jinnian did not accompany Dai Hanmi but instead calmed her mind and diligently copied scriptures.
She wrote another scroll of the Rebirth Mantra to offer in front of the Buddha.
Kneeling before the Buddha with hands clasped together, her devotion was profound.
Abbot Wuxin watched from the side, and only after Yun Jinnian had finished reciting a section of the scripture did he present the brocade box in his hand to her.
"Inside this box is a string of Buddha Beads, for you!"
Yun Jinnian opened the brocade box, took out the Buddha Beads, and tried them on her wrist; the beads were round and smooth.
"These were left by Master Micheng, right!"
