Chapter 197 Broken Buddhist Beads
The scalding hot tea left a fiery red burn on the snow-white fingers. Yi Qianhuan gasped in pain and subconsciously let go of the tea bowl in her hand.
The tea bowl fell to the ground and broke into pieces, and the splashing tea splashed onto Ji Chilian's clothes.
Yi Qianhuan panicked for a moment and subconsciously reached out to grab Ji Chilian's clothes.
As a result, Ji Chilian dodged backwards and his back hit the armchair.
By the time Yi Qianhuan came to her senses, her body had already uncontrollably crashed into Ji Chilian, and she almost fell into his arms.
The tip of his upturned nose hit Ji Chilian's chest straight away, causing Yi Qianhuan to feel dizzy and his nose to ache. He couldn't help but sigh at someone's chest muscles.
Are the muscles on this man's body made of stone? Otherwise, why are they so hard?
As Yi Qianhuan was thinking this, he bumped into Ji Chilian and fell to the ground.
The armchair fell heavily to the ground, and the hard wood hit Ji Chilian's back.
Ji Chilian stretched out his hand to protect Yi Qianhuan's waist, causing the jade Buddhist beads in his hand to fall to the ground.
Several emerald green jade Buddhist beads were immediately broken into pieces.
Yi Qianhuan was surprised by this scene, and then he heard Ji Chilian's resentful voice coming from above his head.
"If the Crown Prince's wife doesn't want to, she can just say so. Why does she have to smash my things?"
"Sir, you misunderstood. I didn't mean it. This was just an accident." Yi Qianhuan said as he quickly got up from the ground.
She reached out to pull Ji Chilian up as well.
But Ji Chilian seemed not to notice her outstretched hand, and picked up the broken Buddhist beads on the ground.
"I was born with a bad fate. Since I was born, a master has been reminding me that I must do good deeds to make up for the shortcomings of my fate."
"So from the time this governor began to record his life, he tried every possible way to do good deeds, hoping to gain good results in the future. Every time he did a good deed, he would accumulate a Buddhist bead."
"There are a total of 100 Buddhist beads, all of which I have accumulated with great difficulty over the years."
"I have some very good jade beads here, I will compensate them all to the Governor." Yi Qianhuan couldn't bear to hear the man's mumbling and couldn't help feeling a headache.
But Ji Chilian seemed not to hear: "Madam, the Buddhist beads are not luxurious things. It is mainly because I am devoted to Buddhism that I broke the Buddhist beads."
"I don't blame anyone, I just think this Buddhist rosary is really pitiful."
"It is said that if you break one good deed, you need to do ten good deeds to make it up. This time, I broke seven beads. Doesn't that mean I need to do seventy good deeds to make it up?"
Yi Qianhuan finally understood what Ji Chilian meant, and his eyes almost popped out of his sockets: "What do you mean? Ji Chilian, you don't want me to do 70 good deeds with you to help you get back these seven beads, do you? Even if you ask for too much, there should be some limits!"
Yi Qianhuan had broken Ji Chilian's Buddhist beads and still felt very guilty.
She also thought about making amends, but Ji Chilian wanted to use her as a slave and that wouldn't work!
These are a total of seventy good deeds. Once she has completed them, she will be close to death!
"It is a great honor to admit your mistakes and improve. As long as Madam Crown Prince is willing to make amends, then as long as you complete seven good deeds, I can have all the Buddhist beads back." Seeing that Yi Qianhuan was still reluctant, Ji Chilian continued, "Madam Crown Prince, don't worry. Reciting scriptures and praying for blessings every day after getting up, burning incense and bathing every day, as long as you persist, they will all be considered good deeds."
Yi Qianhuan didn't usually do these things, but seeing that Ji Chilian didn't want to give up until she agreed, she hesitated and asked, "As long as I accompany you to do these things, will you stop bothering me?"
"Of course, I am not a sinister person who likes to make things difficult for others." Ji Chilian said as a matter of course.
Yi Qianhuan couldn't help but roll his eyes at Ji Chilian.
If this man was really as easy to fool as he said, he wouldn't have been talking to her hypocritically for so long just now!
But there was nothing she could do. It was just her bad luck that she had to break this man's things!
"Okay, starting tomorrow, I will help you chant sutras and pray for blessings." Yi Qianhuan felt even more headache when he thought of this, "However, our top priority is to find a way to deal with Helian Ziyu first."
"Helian Ziyu has a strong obsession with Yi Mobao. I am sure that he will attack Yi Mobao again. What we have to do now is to sit back and wait for the opportunity." Ji Chilian said as he picked up all the fragments of the Buddhist beads and handed them to the Jinyiwei who had arrived.
The Royal Guard took it and said respectfully, "Lord Governor, you have worked hard all day. The fragrant bath has been prepared in the Lord Governor's Mansion and is waiting for you to burn incense and bathe."
Ji Chilian hummed and made a gesture of invitation to Yi Qianhuan: "Madam, how about we go together?"
Yi Qianhuan looked at Ji Chilian as if he was looking at a madman.
Ji Chilian didn't take it seriously, and continued to instruct the Jinyiwei calmly, "Go and set up another fragrant bath in the Dugong Mansion, and prepare sandalwood for the prince's wife to use for bathing. Madam, the fragrant bath has the effect of stabilizing the mind. You can go to Pingyang Marquis's Mansion to pick up Young Master Mo to come and bathe together. It will be good for his health."
"In that case, for the sake of convenience, don't I have to live in the Governor's Mansion with my calligraphy?" Yi Qianhuan had indeed heard that the fragrant hot spring in Ji Chilian's mansion was natural hot spring water drawn from the mountains near the dragon vein.
This hot spring contains extremely strong power of the essence of heaven and earth, so it is really great for calligraphy.
"Yu Bao has always wanted to invite the Crown Prince's wife and Young Master Mo to live in the Governor's Mansion. It so happens that the Crown Prince's wife needs to cooperate with me in praying this time, so they can stay in the Governor's Mansion temporarily." Ji Chilian said as a matter of course.
Yi Qianhuan saw Ji Chilian speaking one sentence after another in an impeccable manner, and couldn't help but wonder if this man was doing it on purpose.
But if you think about it carefully, Ji Chilian seems to have no reason to keep her in the Governor's Mansion.
It should all be just a coincidence.
Yi Qianhuan quickly agreed, as he was willing to give everything for Yi Mobao.
After riding in a carriage all the way back to the Pingyang Marquis Mansion, Yi Qianhuan stepped into the Qingzhu Courtyard and heard a commotion coming from the courtyard.
There were many servants from the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion in the Qingzhu Courtyard. At this moment, these people were busy throwing Yi Qianhuan and Yi Mobao's things out of the room.
A lot of clothes had been thrown in the yard. Liuli had to protect Nanny Gui and Shen Yubao, and she was holding the unconscious Yi Mobao in her arms. Therefore, even though she was struggling with these servants, she was unable to stop their actions.
"These are my young lady's clothes and jewelry, you are not allowed to throw them around..." Seeing Yi Qianhuan's favorite skirt thrown into the pool, Liuli kicked a servant angrily, "You are so blind that you dare to touch my young lady's things!"
