Chapter 212 Curious Baby

"Zhuzhu, do you know why there are so many bees flying around us?" Yuqin asked Zhuzhu while taking down the handkerchief hanging on her chest.

Just as she was about to use her handkerchief to drive away the bees swarming around them, Zhuzhu, who was standing next to her, stopped her.

Grandma, what are you trying to do? If you use your handkerchief to shoo away those bees, they will attack you! They will prick your beautiful face with their stingers, leaving big red welts.

So what should I do, Zhuzhu? Do you know what? Bees are my biggest fear! To keep them away from me, I never dare to wear brightly colored clothes when I go out. I even avoid wearing my favorite perfume.

Zhuzhu, here's what we'll do! I won't go to the temple to burn incense and pray today! You and Yiyao can go to the temple together to offer incense for me. Explain to the Bodhisattva in the temple why I didn't offer incense today.

Zhuzhu frowned when she heard her grandmother say this. Why was her grandmother so afraid of bees appearing around her? But Zhuzhu sensed that her grandmother was very devout to the Bodhisattva.

Could it be because her grandmother was once stung by a bee? That's why she's so afraid of bees flying around her?

Madam, since you've come all the way to our Guanyin Temple, why don't you come down and pray to the Bodhisattva? Just as Zhuzhu was staring blankly at a hornet's nest on an apple not far from her, an abbot with two long white beards stood beside her.

Master, can you tell me why there are so many bees flying around here? Is it because the flowers you plant are too fragrant? You know me! I've been afraid of bees since I was a child because I was attacked by twenty killer bees when I was young.

Madam, you must forget this unpleasant memory! The reason those killer bees attacked you was because you were wearing a very brightly colored dress. In addition, there was a sandalwood scent emanating from your body, which attracted the killer bees to relentlessly pursue you.

I know perfectly well what happened with those killer bees back then! Master, please stop trying so hard to absolve those who wanted to kill me of all responsibility!

Besides, didn't I swear in front of you and him that I would never return to the Li family mansion in my life? Didn't I also say that I would give up all the property of the Li family mansion? In order to prove my determination, I agreed to my second uncle's request to marry Yang Muhe without hesitation.

The old abbot clasped his hands together in front of his chest and said, "Amitabha!" But why do I feel that you, Madam, are still bothered by this matter? The reason we believe in Buddhism is not to ask the Bodhisattva to bless us with a peaceful life.

Instead, we should learn from the Bodhisattva, who never argues with people about right and wrong. Even if someone hurts her intentionally or unintentionally, she chooses to forgive and tolerate that person.

Master, are you trying to convey that message to us: "A big belly can endure, and can endure the most unbearable things in the world"?

After hearing what Zhuzhu said, the old abbot smiled and turned his head to look at Zhuzhu standing behind him.

Hahaha! Yes, yes, that's right! That's exactly what the old monk was trying to say! The old abbot said this while gently stroking Zhuzhu's little head with his big hand.

Little sister, have you never been to our Guanyin Temple before? Why have I never seen you at the Guanyin Temple before?

Master, this little girl is my granddaughter, the daughter of my eldest son Yang Muwang and Liao Longzhen. For various reasons, she hasn't lived with us before. That's why you haven't met Zhuzhu and Jianmei!

Oh! I see! By the way, didn't you bring a really cute little kitten to the temple to see me before? Why didn't you bring the little thing over to play with today?

Haha! You mean Little Hibiscus? The little one has been a bit naughty and mischievous lately! You know what? I don't know why, but this morning the little one scratched Long'er's arm all over with her little paws.

Yuqin stepped down from the sedan chair and walked to the old abbot's side, then helped him up with both hands.

Haha! This must have broken your heart, you little darling! When you brought that adorable little kitten to see me last time, didn't I tell you that it was a very intelligent cat?

Yes! I haven't forgotten what you said to me! That's why Long'er and I took very careful and meticulous care of it!

After standing next to Yuqin for a moment, Zhuzhu and Longzhen took the bucket of cooked taro balls to the kitchen.

Zhuzhu, do you know why your grandma is so familiar with the old abbot of this temple?

Haha! Don't you think the question you asked me is a little funny? You don't even know why Grandma and that old abbot are so familiar with each other! How would a little kid like me know?

Zhuzhu, didn't you start seeing your dear grandma a long time ago? She must have told you a lot about herself!

Upon hearing Longzhen's words, Zhuzhu quickly shook her head. "No! How could Grandma possibly tell a little girl like me about this? Besides, Grandma didn't even tell me that my father is the young master of Hei Rentang!"

Moreover, this is a rather private matter for Grandma! By the way! Since Dad and Grandma aren't around now, could you tell me how you and Dad met in the first place?

Hey! I feel like you're getting more and more of a busybody. Zhuzhu, a child your age should focus all your energy on studying. That's how you'll amount to something when you grow up!

Also, try to avoid getting involved in things on Longsheng Street in the future! Because Longsheng Street is your uncle's property. It's not good for us to keep interfering in his affairs! Aren't you and Jianmei about to start school soon?

How about this? You and Jianmei can play for another day or two, then go to Jianlin's place together! The three of you siblings can study together and keep each other company.

Yes! Where has Jianlin been lately? I've rarely seen him at the Yang residence since we moved back from Xiawei.

Oh! Yes, Jianmei, Yingying, and I saw Jianlin at my uncle's Shenglong Hotel that day. I haven't seen him since.
