Chapter 676: Chapter 687 Yu Jizi

She busied herself with her own tasks, seemingly oblivious to the two new arrivals in the courtyard.

Wanwan followed her and snatched away her gourd ladle, saying, "Miss La, your family is here looking for you; look, that gentleman is your relative."

La Chengjun remained indifferent and snatched back the gourd ladle from Wanwan’s hand to continue watering the plants.

Seeing no other option, Wanwan returned and sighed, helplessly saying, "Young Master, what shall we do now?"

Yue Rujing replied, "It seems that Auntie is not going to be easy to deal with right now. Let’s go back for now, I will have to give this some thought."

Wanwan nodded and said with a sigh, "Alright then. It just means more worries for the Young Master."

"No matter, no matter, it’s good that we’ve found her."

...

Inside the Sanqing Temple, the old Madam Lin of the Lin Family was seated on meditation cushions brought by the serving boys with her second daughter Lin Zixin and young master Lin Shenxing, listening to the ceremony.

Once the ceremony concluded, many people in the hall, unable to bear the discomfort of sitting on their knees for so long, began to stretch their bodies.

This was the Lin family’s first time attending, and they felt the strain particularly acutely.

The old Madam Lin looked at the two youngsters with pity and said, "Go outside and move around a bit; we have another session coming up."

Lin Zixin and Lin Shenxing, as if pardoned, hurried outside with numb legs and feet.

They had already wanted to go outside but did not dare to.

Lusun saw the young lady and the young master come out and quickly made her way into the hall to the old lady’s side. Seeing the old lady earnestly massaging her own legs, Lusun kneeled by her side, busily thumping her legs and rubbing her shoulders.

"Old Madam, why do you bother with this? You don’t even understand the ceremony, and look how it has worn you out," Lusun lamented.

The old lady was easy-going, and she raised the maids around her to be quite bold, which was why Lusun dared to speak to her in such a manner.

The old lady was not angered but simply smiled and said, "While my old bones can still move, it’s nice to come see the Sanqing Ceremony that guards our Zhuzhao Country with favorable weather. Next time I meet with the other old Madams, I’ll be able to join in the conversation, won’t I?"

Glancing around, she saw that there were still quite a few devotees attending the ceremony, most accompanied by their daughters-in-law and granddaughters.

"Ah, but you don’t believe in any of this," Lusun sighed.

The old lady smacked her on the head with a swift crack and whispered sternly, "You girl, you’ve become too spoiled for your own good. Do you realize where you are and still dare to speak such nonsense?"

Lusun, holding her head, looked around and quickly shrank her neck, saying, "I understand, my loud mouth deserves to be punished." As she said this, she slapped herself on the mouth twice.

Pleased, the old lady laughed and then, without changing her expression, gently said to Lusun, "Go check on the young lady and the young master; don’t let them wander too far."

Lusun responded with a "Yes" and rose to walk outside.

Yu Jizi, stroking his long beard with a faint smile, approached the old Madam Lin and sat down on a cushion opposite her, saying softly, "It seems that this is the old Madam’s first time attending the ceremony; I see your face is unfamiliar."

Hearing the words "National Master," the old Madam Lin became cautious and hastily got up to pay respects, saying, "So it is the National Master, please forgive my ignorance for not recognizing you."

Yu Jizi laughed heartily and said, "The old Madam is too formal; I am just a serving boy under the statues of the Sanqing, unworthy of such respect. If you wish to pay respect, pay respect to the statues of the Sanqing."

Meanwhile, Lusun, looking from a distance at the person speaking with the old Madam in the great hall, felt very uneasy and tugged at a serving boy, asking, "Hey, little brother, who is that old man in black with white hair?"
