It was seen that in the 3,000 Great Thousand Worlds, all the mountains, rivers, seas and h.e.l.l. It was top-notch. It also oversaw all living beings as well as the place where was born.

She only hoped that 6,000 merit points could eliminate hidden dangers, dangers, sins, disasters, and calamities. All six of them would lead to a peaceful life.

After reciting the Buddhist Scripture, Yu Youyao slowly opened her eyes and saw Song Mingzhao standing not far away, looking at her.

Yu Youyao was shocked and speechless.

She did not know what to say about the fact that she would b.u.mp into Song Mingzhao every time she went out.

Chun Xiao whispered, “Heir Song has been here for a long time. Seeing that Young Miss was chanting, he didn’t let me disturb her.”

Although Yu Youyao had a maidservant with her and an old maid behind her, she was not with her elders after all, so she did not plan to greet Song Mingzhao. She planned to do the same as last time and muddle through from afar.

However, Song Mingzhao seemed to have guessed what she was thinking. She had only bowed halfway when Song Mingzhao had already walked over. “Young Miss, are you here alone at the Precious Peace Temple today?”

Yu Youyao said politely, “My cousin is on a long journey and I’m a little worried, so I came over to pray for him when the Precious Peace Temple is quiet today.”

Hearing her mention her cousin, it was difficult to hide the closeness in her tone. Song Mingzhao’s gaze darkened. “The Lotus Sutra eliminates hidden dangers, dangers, sins, disasters, and calamities. Miss, you’re too kind.”

She did not expect Eldest Miss Yu to be so proficient in Buddhism at such a young age.

Her voice was hoa.r.s.e, and it had a clear texture like water. The Buddhist Scripture really made her recite some of the six solemn phrases. All of them had a clear Buddhist meaning, so it was obvious how sincere she was.

He listened from the side, but every word entered his ears and heart. He couldn’t help but feel a little envious of Cousin Zhou, whom she had taken to heart and prayed for.

Yu Youyao smiled. “The elders aren’t around, so it’s not appropriate for me to stay outside for long, and I’ll leave first. If I’ve been rude, please forgive me.”

Song Mings.h.i.+ lowered his eyes and was silent for a moment before saying,

“Young Miss, please do as you please.”

After Yu Youyao bowed, she left with Chun Xiao and the four old maids.

Song Mingzhao turned around. The young girl’s green figure was like a willow branch swaying on the riverbank, slender and beautiful.

Eldest Miss Yu was a polite person. The few times they had met, be it etiquette or rules, she was extremely generous in every word and action. No one could find anything wrong with her.

It could be said that it was an illusion once or twice, but after three or four times, even the slowest person could vaguely sense that Eldest Miss Yu seemed to really treat him a little differently and avoided him as much as possible.

It was probably not just concern about the relations.h.i.+p between men and women!

Song Mingzhao took a step forward and bent down to pick up a new green Bodhi tree leaf from the ground.

Just now, he had seen clearly that this leaf had fallen from the branch to Eldest Miss Yu l s shoulder and floated to the ground as Eldest Miss Yu turned to leave.

After sending her cousin out to battle and praying to him, Yu Youyao stayed at the Precious Peace Temple for vegetarian food. She returned to the residence before 3pm.

The weather was too hot. Yu Youyao traveled under the hot sun. Even though she was sitting in the carriage, she was suffocated and drenched in sweat. After returning to the courtyard to wash up, she changed into a set of new clothes and went to An Shou Hall.

Seeing her granddaughter coming over, Old Madam Yu kept a straight face and said nothing.

Yu Youyao knew that she was in the wrong. She quickly took the bag and moved closer to her grandmother. “Grandmother, I’ve asked for a safety talisman for you. You have to wear it close to you in the future.”

She had gone to pray for her cousin and even remembered to ask for a safety talisman for her. She had not raised her in vain. Old Madam Yu glanced at her from the corner of her eye. “Now you remember that you have a grandmother?”

Yu Youyao snuggled into her grandmother’s arms. “Grandmother,

Grandmother, I know I was wrong. Don’t be angry with me. Otherwise, your health will be affected if you’re angry. I might even have to run to the Precious Peace Temple to pray for you.”

Old Madam Yu did not know whether to laugh or cry when she heard this. She couldn’t help but poke her forehead. “But I’ve spoiled you so much. Do you still care about me, your grandmother? You’ve already learned how to act first and report later. After managing the family for a while, you’ve hardened your wings and grown your heart. You’re a half-grown child, but you’re still trying to run away when you open your mouth…

Yu Youyao listened obediently, not daring to talk back.

After Old Madam Yu finished reprimanding her, she couldn’t help but sigh. “It’s not that Grandmother doesn’t allow you to go out, but I’m a little worried about you without the company of my elders. You’re still young, so you don’t know how valuable you are. There are many young misses from wealthy families in the capital who were kidnapped when they were young. Some even went out and damaged their reputation. There were also thieves who specially targeted the young misses of wealthy families and kidnapped them to ask for ransom…

Yu Youyao’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Old Madam Yu said, “Don’t think that I’m trying to scare you. A few years ago, there was an Imperial Censor Zheng in the imperial court. His daughter had once been kidnapped by thieves. When the ransom was paid and she was released, her reputation was ruined. In just a few days, she hanged herself. At that time, there were rumors in the capital, causing an uproar. Imperial Censor Zheng’s reputation was damaged, so he could only resign and return to his hometown…

Yu Youyao could hear a different meaning in her words.

She had not forgotten that her father was also an imperial censor. Her grandmother had specially mentioned Censor Zheng’s daughter for a reason. There was no censor who did not offend others. It was easy to deal with a gentleman, but difficult to guard against a villain. It was hard to guarantee that some people would suffer and hold a grudge, using some sinister and despicable methods.

Didn’t Censor Zheng have no choice but to resign because his daughter’s reputation had been ruined?

Old Madam Yu knew that she had understood. She continued, “Although your father is a little muddle-headed in general matters, he’s still a little stubborn in the royal court. The emperor has ordered the Ministry of Justice and the Court of Justice to investigate King You’s case. Your father is among them.” Yu Youyao’s breathing tightened. “Grandmother, I was rash today.”

King You’s case involved a lot of people, and her father’s involvement was also very important.

This way, her grandmother’s worries were not uncalled for.

At this time, the residence should be more cautious. Otherwise, the entire residence would be implicated.

It was also because she had been too negligent to have thought of this.

Old Madam Yu patted her hand. “You’re young and inexperienced, so you don’t know how powerful it is. Little do you know that any commotion in the royal court is closely related to a family’s fortune. If you make a mistake, you’ll be in trouble.”

Yu Youyao nodded. ‘Grandmother, I understand.”

Old Madam Yu patted her hand. “Fortunately, it’s better to make this trip to the Precious Peace Temple sooner rather than later. Since you’ve made this trip, let’s lie low in the future.”

Eight days later, the army arrived in Shandong and stationed themselves in Langya Mountain.

Five days later, Yu Youyao finally received a box of gelatin from the secret guard in Shandong and a handwritten letter from her cousin..
