Chapter 626: Chapter 609: Discussing Marriage_1

"Sister Pan’er, you’re finally here. Come in, Master Liao Jue is in the Buddhist hall."

Jun Ruoxue had a mysterious expression.

Master Liao Jue!

Su Pan’er’s heart seemed to freeze for a moment, missing a beat, and then began to pound wildly.

The fact that Master Liao Jue was inside instantly piqued Su Pan’er’s interest.

The two young ladies entered the Buddhist hall hand in hand. The hall was suffused with Zen incense. Their arrival didn’t disturb Master Liao Jue, who was sitting at the head of the hall.

Master Liao Jue was delivering a Zen speech: "With great intelligence and wisdom, one can perceive the emptiness of the Five Aggregates. With great kindness and great compassion, one can overcome all suffering. Blessings are not sought after but cultivated life after life. A peaceful place does not have to be on a mountain or in a temple. As long as a benefactor has a compassionate heart, every place in this world is a peaceful place—a pure land. A generous and content heart is the greatest blessing granted by the Lord Buddha. Amitabha Buddha!"

Even though his discourse was vague, the members of the Jun Family were nodding their heads in agreement. Su Pan’er could not help but touch her nose.

Are all these so-called high monks just flaunting their vague notations and projecting themselves as all-knowing and proficient?

Can’t they speak normally instead of resorting to Zen riddles?

Old Mrs. Jun sighed and quickly put her hands together in prayer, bowing to Master Liao Jue in respect.

"This matter has troubled this old woman. Given its grave nature, I’ve had to proceed with utmost caution. I hope Master won’t take offence."

Liao Jue half-closed his eyes and it was a while before he opened them again.

"The one who caused the problem is the one who can solve it. Benefactor, there is no need to panic. I believe that if you maintain a heart related towards Buddha, you will undoubtedly receive the Buddha’s blessing and everything will get better."

Old Mrs. Jun was overjoyed!

She bowed repeatedly, "It’s an honor that Master is willing to guide this old woman. I’ve made some temple donations in the temple. I hope Master won’t deny your instruction."

"Sure, sure! This humble monk thanks you for your generosity."

Master Liao Jue joined his palms and chanted the Buddha’s name.

"Moreover, this old woman has another doubt she hopes the Master will clarify..."

While Old Mrs. Jun was still conversing with Master Liao Jue, Jun Ruoxue secretly tugged at Su Pan’er’s sleeve, pointing towards a Pu Tuan.

The two quietly walked to the other side and then sat down on the Pu Tuan.

"Come, Little Yanyan, come to your (paternal) cousin!"

Jun Ruoxue tried to hold Yan Yan, but was stopped by Su Pan’er.

"She’s still asleep, not awake yet. Let’s just have the Nanny take her inside."

Su Pan’er signaled Nanny Zhou who hurriedly stepped forward to take Little Yanyan away.

"What did Old Mrs. Jun seek Master Liao Jue’s advice about?"

"I’m not sure, they’ve been talking for quite a while."

Jun Ruoxue shook her head: "But I noticed that the monk talked most of the time and Grandmother just listened. Grandmother appeared deeply concerned, and asked many questions. However, the monk kept expressing everything in Zen language, his words were vague and confusing. I can’t understand his message."

She couldn’t understand either. Maybe the intention of Zen language is to make people struggle to understand it, a test of their comprehension? What if they guess correctly?

Su Pan’er couldn’t help but think about the phrase "avoid Huai".

If the other party had directly explained who "Huai" was, they would have chosen to enter that small forest and eventually the cabin at that time without any other choice.

As she and Jun Ruoxue were talking intermittently, Old Mrs. Jun finally came out.

"Grandmother, have you... finished talking?"

Jun Ruoxue was poking her head in, looking curiously at the still meditating Master Liao Jue on his Pu Tuan.

"You’re up too, good child."

Old Mrs. Jun held Su Pan’er’s hand, patting it lightly, her face filled with worry.

"Let’s go! We shouldn’t stay here any longer. Let’s leave first and talk about everything else later."

"Alright, let’s go."

The crowd gave support to Old Mrs. Jun as they turned and headed out.

Su Pan’er followed beside Old Mrs. Jun, stepping out of the Buddhist hall. Suddenly, a small novice monk chased after them from behind.

"Benefactor, please wait, benefactor!"

Everyone stopped in their tracks and looked back.

The little novice monk started off by laughing before he greeted Su Pan’er with a Buddhist bow: "Benefactor, Master Liao Jue wishes to see you in private. Please follow me."

Master Liao Jue wants to see her?

What was going on? Could it be that he had recognized her?

Naturally, it was normal for him to recognize her since they had met twice: "Thank you, little benefactor, since Master Liao Jue has summoned me, of course I’ll meet him."

On the side, Jun Ruoxue got hold of her arm: "Sister Pan’er, I’ll accompany you there!"

"You don’t need to come. The novice monk just said that Master Liao Jue has requested to see me alone. I reckon I should oblige him. You can stay here with grandmother and your mother. I’ll be right back."

Su Pan’er spoke and nodded to Old Mrs. Jun and Young Mrs. Jun, then followed the novice monk.

She was particularly alert in her heart. It seemed that there were some words written on the piece of paper that Old Mrs. Jun had been holding. She took one more look back at Jun Ruoxue. Could it be...

Once this thought sprang to mind, she became uneasy inside!

Xue’er didn’t even tell her anything about it, when did they become so formal with each other, they being sisters?

This was a matter of a lifetime, did she intend to hide this from her, too?

After Su Pan’er left, Old Mrs. Jun and her party returned to their temporary accommodation in the Zen Room of the rear courtyard.

After dismissing Jun Ruoxue, Old Mrs. Jun finally let out a long sigh. "I never expected, His Majesty had this intention. His actions... where does this put our Jun Family!" She spoke as she heavily tapped the ground with her cane.

The rims of Young Mrs. Jun’s eyes reddened immediately!

But she blinked hard, smiling as she comforted Old Mrs. Jun. "Mother, don’t be upset. Things haven’t reached a point of no return. Father mentioned he’ll beg His Majesty again, perhaps..."

"His words may have some weight with Xue’er, but not to me!"

Old Mrs. Jun leaned back onto the bed head, sighing heavily. "Alas! Xue’er, she’s been brought up according to the royal rules since childhood. I never thought that she would end up married to him as an ordinary wife. This is simply..."

"Mother, isn’t that young man very promising? Look, he became a marquis at such a young age, his future is boundless. He comes from a familiar background, he’s a good match for Xue’er..."

"A good match?"

The voice of Old Mrs. Jun suddenly rose an octave: "He’s considered a good match? Do you think this old woman is blind? If it hadn’t been for His Majesty’s decree on this marriage, I would have rather died than agree!"

"Shh! Mother, lower your voice!"

Young Mrs. Jun hurriedly comforted: "I’ve heard that His Majesty came to the Huangjue Temple in disguise today. We better not let anyone hear us."

Those words finally silenced Old Mrs. Jun.
