After time travel, I ate glutinous rice bran in ancient times

"I had my suspicions at the time. Juan'er might have picked some magical flowers and hid them in the basket. Her basket was covered with a scarf, so I couldn't see clearly."

"But I went to check where she was standing and didn't find any of the sacred flowers that had been pinched."

"So, I didn't report this to Master! I didn't catch Juan'er picking flowers, if I told Master..."

"Juan'er refuses to admit it, so doesn't that offend the Third Young Master's wife?"

As he spoke, Jingxin looked up at County Magistrate Hai and said, "Sir, can this be considered a crime? I, I don't know anything about it!"

"Stupid! Since you have doubts, you should report it to Master Nianshan. It's Master Nianshan's business to decide how to deal with it. Why worry about it?"

"If you know the truth but don't report it, you will be held accountable," County Magistrate Hai said loudly.

After hearing this, Jingxin stared at County Magistrate Hai with wide eyes: "Sir, I, this is at most negligence. According to our nunnery rules, I will be punished by the master."

"Why do you always say I'm guilty, sir? This is our nunnery's business, not the government's business, right?"

"Yes, you are right. If the sacred flower is taken out of Shuijing Temple and nothing happens, this county can ignore it."

"Now that the magic flower has been taken out of Shuijing Temple and killed people, do you think this county should intervene?" County Magistrate Hai said coldly.

When Jingchen heard that the divine flower had caused a death outside, he was so frightened that his whole body went limp and he collapsed to the ground.

With a loud "wow", she burst into tears: "Sir, this is none of my business. I am just a little nun who watches over the gate and the flowers in the nunnery!"

"I don't know anything about what's going on outside, wow... Why did Master send me to look after the flowers? I, I feel so wronged!"

Wang Yugui, who was inside, felt both angry and amused when hearing this. This little nun Jingchen usually looked very fierce and could easily be intimidated when she was guarding the gate, but now she was actually scared to tears.

Alas, she is just a girl who has never seen the world!

"Okay, Jingchen, don't cry out for injustice. Just tell the truth and I will make the decision," Magistrate Hai shouted.

Suddenly, he slammed the gavel and asked, "Jingchen, I want to ask you, has Madam Dongmei from the Zhang Mansion ever stolen the sacred flower?"

Jingchen was so frightened that he instinctively shuddered, was stunned for a moment, wiped his tears, and said: "No, I didn't see Madam Dongmei picking the magic flower"

Then he sighed and said, "Hey, Madam Dongmei, I see she is not very energetic every time she comes, and it seems that she doesn't like to come to the nunnery to burn incense and worship Buddha."

"After burning incense, she always went straight to the back garden. I never saw her wandering around the yard outside!"

"What about the maidservants around her? Have they ever gone to the wall to pick the sacred flowers?" County Magistrate Hai asked again

Jingchen hurriedly shook his head: "No!"

He added: "Alas, sir, I usually look at the flowers very carefully. How could so many people steal the magical flowers?"

"That Juan'er, I, I was a little careless, maybe she didn't pick the flowers, but I just have some doubts!"

"Don't doubt it, she must have picked it," County Magistrate Hai shouted.

After hearing this, Jingchen started crying again: "Oh, why am I so unlucky!"

Then he looked up and asked County Magistrate Hai, "Sir, who did Juan'er kill with the magic flower?"

"Mr. Zhang San was killed," County Magistrate Hai said coldly.

Jingchen was stunned after hearing this: "Ah, she, she dared to kill her family's third son?"

"That's impossible. Juan'er looks very, very honest. She doesn't look like someone who would hurt anyone!"

Wang Yugui laughed after hearing this. He is quite honest. They all went to steal your magical flowers. Haha!

This little nun Jingchen is a straightforward person and says whatever she thinks.

Suddenly, he slapped the ground, sat up straight, looked at County Magistrate Hai and said loudly: "Sir, I know!"

"It wasn't Juan'er who killed Mr. Zhang San, it must have been the Third Young Master's wife who asked her to do it."

"She is just a maid, she has nothing better to do, why would she want to kill her master?"

"Jingchen, the county will make its own decision. You don't need to say more. Just explain your own problem clearly." County Magistrate Hai looked at Jingchen and said loudly.

After hearing this, Jingchen said in a frustrated tone, "Sir, what else do I have to ask?"

"I want to ask you, have you ever gone to Jingyin to get tea?" County Magistrate Hai asked

Jingchen shook his head: "No, the tea in Jingyin's place is all good tea given to Master by great donors."

"How dare I take it? Even when Master wanted to give tea leaves to someone, he just told me to pass it on to Junior Sister Jingyin."

Then, he said indignantly: "Humph, Master is biased and treats Junior Sister too well."

"She was asked to do all the easy work, such as guarding the house, watching the flowers and sweeping the floor."

"Junior Sister Jingyin relies on Master's love for her and is usually very arrogant."

"Of all the things she kept, she was reluctant to give away even the tea leaves, not to mention the tea leaves. She kept them all for herself!"

"Oh, Jingyin even collected the paper that wrapped the tea leaves?" County Magistrate Hai asked hurriedly.

Jingxin was complaining, and nodded, "Yes, once, when I went to her place, I wanted to ask her for a piece of tea paper to wrap something."

"She was reluctant to part with it. She said she wanted to keep the tea paper for practicing calligraphy. She found a piece of cloth for me and sent me away."

"Humph, everyone knows that the paper used to wrap her high-end tea is great! Master only asked her to keep the tea leaves, but why is she occupying the tea leaves and paper?"

"She's still learning calligraphy from others. Humph, what's the use of learning calligraphy? She's still the same as us, being a nun in a temple. Can she possibly take the imperial examination?"

"We are busy working every day, but she has free time and even has time to practice calligraphy!"

The little nun Jingchen has always been quite jealous of Jingyin, and she has many complaints whenever she talks about Jingyin.

"Oh, Master Jingyin likes to practice calligraphy with tea leaves?"

"After practice, do you throw away the papers?"

County Magistrate Hai frowned and asked

Jingchen said: "No, she was reluctant to throw it away. I think she put it in the Buddhist scriptures!"

After hearing this, Wang Yugui also frowned. Oh, it seems that Captain Zhang will have to search Jingyin's room again.

"Jingchen, when you sleep in the nunnery at night, do you feel scared? Can you sleep well?" County Magistrate Hai suddenly asked again.

Wang Yugui was a little confused. County Magistrate Hai had just asked Jingxin a similar question, so why did he ask Jingchen again?

After hearing this, Jingchen looked up at County Magistrate Hai and said, "Sir, what do you mean by this?"

"I, I made a mistake just this once. I was careless and let Juan'er steal the magic flower."

"I haven't done anything wrong, so why should I be afraid? Why should I be worried about sleeping soundly?"

"Besides, we have night-time..."

Jingchen stopped talking suddenly at this point.

"What are they?" County Magistrate Hai asked hurriedly.

Jingchen hesitated for a moment and said, "There are so many sisters together, what is there to be afraid of? We all sleep soundly."

"The Bodhisattva will protect us, Amitabha!"
