Su Xiaoxiao sat down opposite her.
Su Xiaoxiao was not surprised that she could say her surname. Madam Fu must have mentioned it in her letter.
Mistress Hui Jue smiled. “Did Ting Lan ask you to come? How has she been this year?”
Ting Lan?
Was this Aunt Fu’s name?
!!
It sounded so nice.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “I just met Aunt Fu not long ago. I can’t say for the past year. She’s been… okay for the past two months. She broke her leg at home before the New Year. She’s fine now.”
Grandmistress Hui Jue shook her head. “I knew she only reported good news and not bad news! Is she really fine?”
“Yes, she’s recovering very well,” Su Xiaoxiao said.
She was indeed recovering well. In another half a month, she would be able to remove the splint. Her blood pressure was also under control, and she had a harmonious relationship with her neighbors.
Aunt Fu was living a good life now.
Grandmaster Hui Jue looked at Su Xiaoxiao gently. She could feel from her expression that Ting Lan was doing well.
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t stay in the meditation room for too long. She talked about Madam Fu’s recent situation and handed over the health pills she was asked to bring over.
After Grandmaster Hui Jue accepted it, she replied to Madam Fu with a letter and asked a few little nuns to bring over a few large sacks.
Su Xiaoxiao opened one of them.
Good lord, they were all high-grade tea leaves and dry goods!
So, did all of Aunt Fu’s good stuff come from Grandmaster Hui Jue?
Then there was a new question. How did Grandmaster Hui Jue, who had lived in the mountains for a long time, obtain so many high-grade tea leaves and dried goods?
She felt that this nun was not simple…
Mistress Hui Jue also gave Su Xiaoxiao a bag of tea leaves.
Su Xiaoxiao had to rush back to the inn and couldn’t stay for long. After thanking her, she bade farewell to Grandmaster Hui Jue.
Grandmaster Hui Jue suddenly felt reluctant. “Actually, it’s getting late. If Young Patron Su doesn’t mind, you can stay in the nunnery.”
When the little nuns in the room heard this, their mouths widened in shock.
The Grandmaster actually invited a little patron to stay over?
She didn’t even see visitors!
If Su Xiaoxiao was alone, she wouldn’t mind, but since Su Ergou and Manager Sun couldn’t stay in the nunnery, she couldn’t leave Ergou behind.
“Sorry, I came up the mountain with my brother and a manager.”
Su Xiaoxiao tactfully expressed her rejection.
Grandmaster Hui Jue understood and didn’t force her to stay. She just said to Su Xiaoxiao, “Little Benefactor Su, if you come to the prefecture next time, can you come and talk to me?”
Su Xiaoxiao was surprised.
She agreed. “Okay.”

Su Xiaoxiao left Grandmaster Hui Jue’s courtyard.
Before she left, she left a box of snacks for Grandmaster Hui Jue.
Su Ergou and Manager Sun were nowhere to be seen. Su Xiaoxiao did not see the two of them, but she saw an unexpected… acquaintance.
It was not appropriate to say that they knew each other.
After all, they had only met once this afternoon.
“Little Master, please help me pass the message.”
This man who was so polite to the nun in the nunnery was none other than Prefecture Lord Li.
Prefecture Lord Li did not have such a humble attitude in the Wang family.
The little nun said, “The nun has ordered that she would not see all devotees. If I pass the message on your behalf, I will be scolded!”
Could it be that the person Prefecture Lord Li requested to see was Grandmaster Hui Jue?
Su Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes and calmly walked past the two of them.
Prefecture Lord Li was not blind. A figure suddenly walked towards him, and it was from Grandmaster Hui Jue’s courtyard.
He immediately said, “Didn’t a devotee enter?”
After saying that, he realized that something was wrong and turned his head away.
“It’s you!”
Su Xiaoxiao stopped in surprise and turned to look at him.
“Aiya, Prefecture Lord Li! I’m sorry!”
She didn’t look too sorry with her arrogant attitude!
Prefecture Lord Li looked at Su Xiaoxiao in shock, not understanding how she could come out of Grandmaster Hui Jue’s courtyard.
“You!”
Su Xiaoxiao spoke at the same time, “Prefecture Lord Li, are you here to see Grandmaster Hui Jue too?”
Too?
Did this girl really see Grandmaster Hui Jue?
...
Prefecture Lord Li was shocked!
“For…”
He wanted to ask the little nun why but the little nun had already run away!
Only he and the chubby village girl were left on the lawn.
He was no longer as humble as before. Instead, he looked supercilious. “How did you get in?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “I walked in. Do I have to crawl?”
Prefecture Lord Li choked.
This girl!
“I’m asking you, why did Grandmaster Hui Jue agree to see you?”
“Maybe I look better?”
Lord Li was dumbfounded.
...
Coincidentally, at this moment, another little nun walked out with a sack of dry goods. “Little Patron Su, where is your carriage? Senior Sisters and I will send it down the mountain for you.”
Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly said, “No need. When my brother comes back, we’ll take it down the mountain ourselves.”
Prefecture Lord Li was even more surprised. “These things are…”
Su Xiaoxiao said lightly, “Oh, they’re from the Grandmaster.”
Although it was not for her alone.
Not only did that person see this girl, but she also gave her something.
Lord Li’s expression immediately became very interesting.
Su Xiaoxiao purposely said, “Oh, does Prefecture Lord Li want to see the Grandmaster too?”
“I…” Prefecture Lord Li was just about to take the opportunity to ask the little nuns when they all disappeared!
They were professionals at hiding from devotees!
Prefecture Lord Li clenched his fists and looked at Su Xiaoxiao unwillingly. “You… go tell the Grandmaster that I want to see her.”
“Prefecture Lord Li, are you ordering me?” Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “My leg hurts and I can’t walk.”
“You touched my son. I haven’t settled this score with you! Don’t fail to appreciate my kindness!”
Su Xiaoxiao turned around and left!
“Come back!”
Su Xiaoxiao kept walking forward!
Prefecture Lord Li clenched his fists tightly. “You unruly commoner!”
Su Xiaoxiao stepped out of the nunnery.
“Please!”
He spat out the word through gritted teeth.
Su Xiaoxiao stepped on the threshold and didn’t look back. She stretched out a finger.
“What are you doing?”
“Running expenses? Am I going to pass the message for nothing?”
Prefecture Lord Li glared at Su Xiaoxiao and took out a silver ingot. He walked to the door and coldly handed it to Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao shook her finger in disdain. “100 taels!”
Prefecture Lord Li trembled. “Why don’t you go rob someone!”
Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows. “Then I’m leaving.”
Prefecture Lord Li was furious. He gritted his teeth and took out a banknote worth 100 taels.
Su Xiaoxiao took the banknote and went to look for Grandmaster Hui Jue.
Soon, she walked out with her head held high.
Prefecture Lord Li could not hide their excitement and asked, “Did you convey the message? What did the Grandmaster say?”
Su Xiaoxiao stretched out her hand and made a hand gesture.
Prefecture Lord Li’s face darkened. He took out another banknote for 100 taels of silver and slapped it on her palm!
Su Xiaoxiao continued to gesture.
Prefecture Lord Li gritted his teeth and took out another banknote.
It wasn’t until he took out four banknotes that Su Xiaoxiao reluctantly stopped.
She said indifferently, “The Grandmaster said… she won’t see you!”
Prefecture Lord Li was dumbfounded!
