Chapter 1267: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 1267: Am I an Outsider?
One of the nuns was watering the vegetables when she heard Shu Yu's question. She put down the water bucket and walked over, asking, "Does the young lady need something?"
This nun was the same person who delivered the letter to Shu Yu before. She appeared to be in her early twenties and had a gentle disposition. This had earned her the trust of the master at Dongqing Temple, which was why she was entrusted with delivering the letter to Shu Yu.
As the Dongqing Temple master was currently absent, the management of the temple was divided among two people. The older nun managed the affairs related to the worshippers in the front hall, while this nun, Sister Zheng, was responsible for the daily chores in the backyard.
If Shu Yu wanted to inquire about Master Miao, she might have to approach Sister Qiu.
Frowning slightly, Sister Zheng asked, "Does the young lady have any difficulty?"
"Yes," Shu Yu thought for a moment before deciding to ask her directly, "Do you know Mr. Miao from the western part of Dong'an Mansion? I heard that he comes to Dongqing Temple every month. Do you happen to know why he comes here?"
Sister Zheng pondered for a moment before nodding, "I know him."
Shu Yu's eyes brightened, "I heard he visits Dongqing Temple regularly. Do you know the reason for his visits?"
"I'm not sure about that. It's better to ask Sister Qiu. She might know," Sister Zheng suggested.
Shu Yu's expression turned pained as she hesitated for a moment before sighing, "Alright, please help me find Sister Qiu."
"Please wait here, young lady."
Shu Yu sat down on a stool and massaged her forehead.
She didn't really want to deal with Sister Qiu. In fact, compared to Sister Zheng, she was more familiar with Sister Qiu. When she first arrived in Daxiu Dynasty, while recuperating in Dongqing Temple, she had frequent encounters with Sister Qiu because the latter often had matters to discuss with the temple master, and Shu Yu happened to be by his side. Thus, they got to know each other.
Sister Qiu was not a bad person, but... she was a bit too talkative.
She wanted to ask about Master Miao, but Sister Qiu would definitely not give straightforward and concise answers.
As expected, when Sister Qiu arrived, she smiled at Shu Yu and said, "Miss, are you doing well? I'm quite busy right now and won't be able to stay for long. How about you have lunch here before leaving? By then..."
"I know you are busy, so I'll just ask a few questions and leave," Shu Yu cut to the chase, "Sister Qiu, do you know Master Miao from Dong'an Mansion's western district? Do you know why he often visits the temple?"
Sister Qiu disapproved of Shu Yu's inquiry, looking at her with a frown, "Miss, this is a temple. How can we casually divulge information about the worshippers to outsiders? Besides, why do you want to inquire about him? Do you know what Mr. Miao does? You are from Jiangyuan County, and he is from Dong'an Mansion. How can you be related to him? This..."
Shu Yu, "..."
She knew it!
"Sister Qiu," Shu Yu interrupted her, "how can I be considered an outsider? I am a disciple of the master at Dongqing Temple, so I am one of you. Shouldn't it be alright for one of our own to know? Or is it that you've always regarded me as an outsider and refused to acknowledge me as the master's disciple?"
Sister Qiu was taken aback. Shu Yu was indeed a disciple of the temple master. Although she wasn't a nun, the master valued her greatly, so she couldn't be considered an outsider.
Shu Yu continued, with a gentle and coaxing tone, "Sister Qiu, my master is not here, and I've encountered some difficulties. Will none of you help me? Sigh, after this incident, I can see it clearly now. It turns out that I am nothing but insignificant in your eyes, Sister Qiu. I feel so hurt."
Sister Qiu, "..."
