The Real Daughter Has Become Famous All Over the World for Fortune-telling Chapter 68

 Chapter 68 False Respect

Pei Anzhu knew that there was no way to avoid this.

The other party came with such complete supporting materials, so she was obviously well prepared. Moreover, since she wanted to repay the original owner for the gift of childbirth, she could only admit:

"You two, come in and sit for a while. Let me change my clothes and tidy up before we can talk in detail."

After finishing her words, she invited the Chen family and his son into Shuyunguan.

 The two of them didn't want to go in at first.

From their point of view, the Taoist temple located in this remote rural area does not look very good on the outside, and it must be even more shabby on the inside. There is probably no place to entertain guests.

 But they were indeed tired after climbing the steps for so long. It was still unclear what kind of attitude Miss Anzhu had. She couldn't stand waiting at the door all the time.

So they condescended and reluctantly entered the Taoist temple, but they were mentally prepared that the Taoist temple would be in ruins.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the door, I saw the exquisite vestibule—

 A spacious yard.

On the left is a green forest and green bamboo, which is evergreen all year round, growing very well and lush. Occasionally, the breeze blows, and the bamboo leaves rustle, like a clear song in the mountains.

To the right is a flowerbed, planted with a variety of seasonal flowers, as well as some plants that can be used as medicine. The flowers bloom slightly, the branches and leaves sway, and the fragrance blows on the face with the wind, refreshing the heart and mind.

In the middle is a cobblestone path, half of which is covered by dense bamboo forests, casting a cool shadow, while the other half is exposed to the sun, clear and bright.

The entire courtyard is exquisitely laid out, with flowers, plants and trees scattered in an orderly manner, giving it the appearance of a Chinese garden. It can be said that every step of the way is a scene.

 Going through the front yard, you arrive at the main hall, where the founder of the Sanqing Dynasty is enshrined.

 The statues of the three patriarchs, Taiqing, Shangqing and Yuqing, sit high in the hall. They are both immortal and compassionate. The two very different temperaments of majesty and compassion are perfectly integrated in the statue of the ancestors.

The main hall has been cleaned cleanly, and the merit boxes, futons, incense burners and other items are neatly placed, so that the entire Taoist temple does not show any signs of decline.

 Walking around the main hall, walking through the corridor under the eaves, we came to the guest room.

 A wooden tea table is placed in the middle, looking simple and exquisite. There are tea sets and tea leaves on the table, and there is also a small red clay stove for cooking tea for guests.

"Please sit down, you can help yourself to the tea on the table." Pei Anzhu led them there, said this, and then left the side room to wash up and change clothes.

 Chen Henian and Chen Sirui didn't speak for a while.

 After a long time, Chen Sirui couldn't help but said:

“This Miss Pei Anzhu seems to be different from what I imagined.”

 Chen Henian nodded.

 Yes, it is indeed different from what they thought.

Before entering the Taoist temple, they almost determined Pei Anzhu's nature: a girl who grew up in the countryside, had never seen the world, was poor and rustic.

 But after seeing Shuyunguan, they realized that the place where Miss Anzhu lived was not as bad as they thought?

Neither father nor son moved. Even though Pei Anzhu said he would help himself to the tea, they were not in the mood to drink tea. They were just thinking about how to complete the task assigned by their husband—

If Miss Pei Anzhu's life is not bad, it means that a small favor may not be enough for her to return to the Pei family.

 She may have a big appetite, which is not what the husband wants to see.

However, when Pei Anzhu changed his clothes and appeared in front of them again, the father and son breathed a sigh of relief in unison.

 For nothing else, the main reason is that the clothes Pei Anzhu wears are too ordinary.

  Clothes and trousers costing dozens or even hundreds of dollars, with no discernible brand, and not very exquisite workmanship. The whole body, head to toe, may not be as valuable as a hairband from Miss Mingzhu.

Chen Henian is a good person after all, and he guessed the key point at once: After all, Shuyun Temple is a property left by the predecessors, with a solid foundation. As long as it is taken care of well, it will not be dilapidated.

 But Shuyunguan's heritage does not represent Pei Anzhu's worth.

All things considered, she was just a poor girl from the bottom who grew up in the countryside, which coincided with their original idea.

Thinking of this, Chen Henian asked Pei Anzhu:

"I wonder how Miss Pei is thinking about it? If possible, we'd better leave today. Madam has been thinking about you, and I'm afraid she will be anxious at home."

Pei Anzhu looked at this man and frowned.

If she remembered correctly, it took no more than half an hour from the time they appeared to this moment, right? She wasn't given any time to think about it, so how could she have the nerve to ask?

What's more, Chen Henian, on the surface, was seeking Pei Anzhu's opinion, but in fact he had a tough attitude and had actually decided the matter.

  It is more of a notification than an inquiry.

 Tsk, tsk, such false respect.

Pei Anzhu saw everything clearly, but did not tell the truth. He only said:

 “I can't leave for the time being.”

“My grandfather, who adopted me and is the master of Shuyun Temple, had a car accident some time ago and is currently seriously injured. I have to stay in Pingcheng to take care of him.”

“After he is discharged from the hospital, I will go to Yuncheng to look for Mr. Pei and Mrs. Pei.”

 Find them and repay the cause and effect of the gift of procreation.

 She did not call her parents, only Mr. Pei and Mrs. Pei. It was obvious that she was putting herself in the position of an outsider, which was different from what Chen Henian thought at the beginning.

 He thought that Pei Anzhu would be happy to recognize his biological parents after knowing them.

However, he then thought that it must be because he did not clearly explain the origin of the Pei family, which caused Miss Pei Anzhu to misunderstand, so he said:

"That's it, Miss Anzhu, what sir and madam mean is that you'd better go back immediately."

“Perhaps you don't know what the Pei family's status is in Yuncheng.”

“As the city with the largest area, the most population, the most developed economy, and the highest concentration of celebrities in the Dragon Kingdom, Cloud City has a leading position in the entire Dragon Kingdom.”

“Among the top wealthy families in Yuncheng, in addition to the Feng family at the top of the pyramid, there is a saying of 'three surnames, four families and five households', which refers to the top twelve families in Yuncheng, and of course the top families in the country.”

“The three surnames refer to Shen, Gu, and Qin; the four surnames refer to Lu, Fu, Su, and Xu; the five households refer to Ling, Zhou, Cen, Ji, and Pei.”

“Among them, the Zhou family is the wife's natal family, and the Pei family is the husband's family.”

"So Miss Anzhu, for such a family, the family blood will not be allowed to leak out. You'd better follow your husband's wishes."

When Chen Henian said these words, he kept his eyes on Pei Anzhu, trying to see from her face an ordinary person's longing and yearning for a wealthy family, and his desire and ambition for wealth.

 But he failed.

Pei Anzhu's expression was indifferent, expressionless from beginning to end, as if everything he said had nothing to do with her, and her attitude proved everything:

"so what?"

“The Pei family and the Zhou family are very powerful, I know it. So, have such powerful people never read a book? Don't know how to repay kindness, and don't know about benevolence, righteousness and morality?”

“The old Taoist priest Shu Yunguan has raised their daughter for more than 20 years, and he was seriously injured in the car accident. Since they can find me, why can't they find that the old Taoist priest is injured and is hospitalized?”

“When I want to serve the old Taoist priest with all my heart, do I have to go back immediately?”
