Chapter 758 What Did I Miss?
Faced with this questioning, Abbess Jingyin simply shook her head, remaining calm as if she had made up her mind.
"My lord, I know nothing. If you do not believe me, then kill me."
"This matter is clearly related to you. Do you think we can't find out by covering it up like this?"
The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review's face turned cold. He had thought that the people from Tianci Nunnery would be easy to talk to, but he hadn't expected that they were all stubborn and he couldn't get any useful information out of them.
"Has Master Jingyin always felt guilty towards his daughter?" Song Ruozhen suddenly asked.
Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Master Jingyin's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure and said, "This humble nun does not know what you are talking about."
"Master Silent, is your daughter fair-skinned, with bright, moon-like eyes, wearing two little braids, and fond of wearing green dresses?"
"Unfortunately, when she was taken away that day, she was dressed in a red dress and wore her favorite silver bell necklace."
She cried and begged you, she didn't want to be taken away, but you tried everything you could, and you couldn't save her.
Upon hearing these words, Xiao Wang and the others stopped what they were doing and began to observe Master Jingyin's expression.
They don't even know what's going on yet, but Song Ruozhen is talking about it so vividly, as if she saw it with her own eyes. If this is really made up, then it must be full of mistakes.
Generally speaking, fortune tellers usually speak ambiguously and say things that seem plausible but are not. How could anyone be as clear as Song Ruozhen, who explained the details and process so clearly?
However, Chu Junting noticed that Abbess Jingyin's expression had clearly changed, and he knew that his wife was definitely right.
Master Jingyin trembled slightly, "You... how do you know these things?"
“You chant sutras and pray for blessings every day in order to help this child be reborn into a better life.”
Song Ruozhen's voice carried a hint of emotion, "I suppose that's what Master Jingchen advised you, which is why you decided to live and stay here to atone for your sins."
Disbelief flashed in Abbess Jingyin's eyes. She had never seen this girl before. Apart from the old abbess from back then, no one else knew the secret between her and Jingchen.
They stayed at Tianci Nunnery under assumed names, completely severing ties with their past, never expecting that a young girl would now recount everything they had experienced.
"Who are you exactly?"
Master Jingyin's expression changed drastically. Everything she said matched up perfectly; clearly, their secret had been uncovered by the Dali Temple...
The methods employed by the Dali Temple were terrifying; the secrets they painstakingly concealed were no secrets at all in their eyes.
"I just happened to see your child and knew that she felt sorry for her mother, so I wanted to help her speak her mind."
“My child?” Master Jingyin’s voice trembled, and her eyes involuntarily reddened. “You say you can see my child? You’re clearly talking nonsense.”
“Master Jingyin, you yourself are a cultivator, don’t you believe in these things?” Song Ruozhen asked in return.
Master Jingyin was slightly taken aback; she... naturally believed it.
When she first arrived at Tianci Nunnery, she didn't believe it at all. It was the nun and Jingchen who gradually made her believe, and after this period of cultivation, she believed it even more.
She believed that as long as she recited scriptures and prayed for her daughter every day, her daughter would be reborn into a better family in her next life.
She asks for nothing, only hoping that her child can be reborn into a good family in the next life, and never have a useless mother like her again.
As a mother, she couldn't even protect her own child and could only watch helplessly as her child was sent away to die!
"Can you really see my child?" Master Jingyin stared intently at Song Ruozhen, her eyes filled with anticipation.
Song Ruozhen nodded, her gaze falling on his side. "Your daughter has actually always been by your side. She could have been reincarnated long ago, but because she misses you, she hasn't gone yet."
The little girl became excited when she saw that Song Ruozhen could see her.
Song Ruozhen slowly repeated what she wanted to say.
"She said that her favorite person was her mother, and that she understood your predicament and never blamed you."
Upon hearing this, Abbess Jingyin couldn't help but cover her face and weep.
All the bitterness and sorrow that had been buried in my heart for so many years finally erupted at this moment.
"You're lying to me. She was so young, and she was forced to lose her life. I, her useless mother, couldn't even protect her. How could she not blame me? She must hate me!"
“Such a useless person is a waste of life. No matter how much I forgive myself in this life, I don’t deserve her forgiveness.”
The nun, Jingyin, completely broke down, tears streaming down her face like a burst dam.
She would never dare to mention this incident in her daily life, nor would she dare to ask for forgiveness.
She had been in poor health since childhood, and this child was something she had longed for day and night. She had vowed that if God would grant her a child, she would take good care of it.
But what about the end?
In the end, she failed to take good care of her child and was unable to resist the village's decision.
Her mother-in-law and husband seemed to have become completely different people; their hideous and terrifying appearances often woke her up in the middle of the night.
When Mingming gave birth to this child, her family was very happy, but in the end, because the village chose her daughter to be sacrificed, they pushed her out without hesitation.
For the first time, she hated herself for choosing such a useless man, and hated even more that she didn't even have the ability to escape with her daughter.
All she could do was collect her daughter's body!
“You are wrong. Just as you love your daughter deeply, she loves you just as deeply. She has never resented you.”
She saw everything you did for her, including... everything you did for that family.
Song Ruozhen's eyes were filled with complex emotions. The nun Jingyin in front of her was not tall and was very thin, looking as if she were powerless.
Yet this same woman killed her father-in-law, mother-in-law, and husband.
If she weren't incapable, she probably would have killed the village chief as well...
The nun's pupils contracted sharply; this girl in front of her really knew everything!
The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review and the others exchanged glances, none of them interrupting the conversation. However, to them, the two were speaking in riddles, and they had no idea what they were saying.
"Did we miss something while investigating the case? Why did we suddenly fall behind?"
The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review lowered his voice and looked at Prince Xiao. They had clearly come to the backyard together after lunch, so how come Princess Chu seemed to have solved the case in the blink of an eye, while they were still completely confused?
King Xiao: "...I don't know either."
