After returning to his room, Ye Jintang asked Liuli to take out the knee pads that had been prepared long ago.

Of course, kneeling and worshipping are inevitable when coming to the temple. Ye Jintang prepared knee pads for his knees early on in case of emergency. Now it seems that he was quite foresighted.

"Girl, are you really going to kneel down and copy scriptures tomorrow?"

"Of course, I will not only kneel before the Buddha and copy the scriptures, but I will also let everyone know that this is what the old lady asked me to do."

"The same thing, if it happens in different places, will have very different effects. Tomorrow I will not go to the east wing, but to the main hall to copy the scriptures in front of all the pilgrims."

Liuli's eyes widened in surprise.

As expected of her daughter, her mind works quickly. If other girls encountered such a thing, they would probably have to follow Madam Lou's arrangements.

Liuli continued to ask uncertainly, "Miss, are you planning to go to the main hall to copy scriptures tomorrow morning?"

"Of course, it would be best if I kneel beside the monks while they are doing their morning prayers and copy the scriptures. This will definitely attract a lot of attention."

There are many pilgrims living in the White Horse Temple, and they all follow the monks to do morning prayers in the morning.

There are also some pilgrims who live at the foot of the mountain and come here early in the morning.

These people are all kind-hearted. When they see Ye Jintang kneeling and copying scriptures, they will definitely find out what is going on.

By then, even if she wanted to copy the scriptures on her knees, Nanny Lou would probably ask her to stand up.

It snowed in the middle of the night and a thin layer of snow accumulated on the ground, but even this did not stop pilgrims from coming to the White Horse Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha.

As the sun slowly rose, many early pilgrims discovered a girl in a jade-colored dress kneeling in the main hall.

There was a small table in front of the little girl. She was holding a brush and copying scriptures very slowly.

Perhaps it was because the weather was too cold, the little girl's hands were frozen red and she was a little unsteady when holding the brush.

"Whose girl is this? Why is she copying scriptures like this? Is it possible that a relative of hers is dying, so she came up with this idea to pray to the gods and Buddhas for help?"

There was a lady who didn't understand what was going on, so she lowered her voice and asked the nanny beside her.

"I heard from the pilgrims who live in the White Horse Temple that this girl is the orphan girl from the sixth room of the Marquis of Danyang's mansion."

"It is said that the wife of Marquis Danyang is seriously ill, so Miss Ye Liu was asked to copy scriptures and pray for her."

"This is not praying for blessings, it's clearly trying to torment people."

"Who said it wasn't? A few days ago, I heard that the wife of Marquis Danyang had someone prepare an expensive health tea."

"If you are really seriously ill, how can you drink health tea?"

Although the master and servant spoke in low voices, there were so many pilgrims passing by that naturally someone heard everything they said.

Nanny Lou, who had just gotten up, heard no sound in Ye Jintang's room and thought that she had taken the initiative to run to the east wing and kneel down to copy scriptures.

She was very proud of herself. Even if that damn girl Ye Jintang had some ulterior motives, she could still control her when she came to the White Horse Temple without the help of the old women and maids.

As long as she kneels down and copies scriptures for a day today, she will make her fast for three days tomorrow, eating only 81 grains of rice for each meal. After fasting for three days, she will take a bath and change clothes and continue to copy scriptures for the old lady.

She just didn't believe that after torturing her like this, she would still have the energy to play tricks on her.

"Madam Lou, something bad has happened. Miss Six has gone to the main hall and is kneeling down to copy scriptures."

"what?"

Nanny Lou's pride disappeared in an instant. She took two quick steps and opened the door of the east wing, only to see that the wing was empty and there was no sign of Ye Jintang at all.

She didn't dare to delay and ran to the hall.

At this moment, many pilgrims gathered in front of the main hall to watch the fun.

The monks chanting in the main hall have finished their morning lessons and are preparing to leave.

Ye Jintang, who was copying scriptures, had no intention of standing up.

Her fingers had long been numb from the cold, and the words she wrote with the brush were crooked and ugly.

A kind-hearted lady came forward to persuade Ye Jintang that it would not be too late to go back to Nuannuan and continue copying the scriptures.

"The New Year is coming soon. My grandmother said that if I can't copy the scriptures well, she won't let me go home to celebrate the New Year."

"I don't want to spend the New Year alone in a deserted temple. Even though I copy slowly, as long as I continue to copy at night, maybe my grandmother will send someone to take me back home to celebrate the New Year before the New Year."

Ye Jintang's voice was gentle and sounded a little pitiful.

The kind-hearted lady beside her had tears in her eyes when she heard her say this.

How could you bear to torture such a sensible girl?

"What a sin! Miss Ye Liu looks very young, and I'm afraid she hasn't even reached the age of marriage yet."

"Alas, without the love of my parents, I have to make a living alone under my grandmother's care. I'm afraid I will suffer in the future."

"Who said it wasn't true? I've heard that the wife of Marquis Danyang was very kind, but I didn't expect that her methods of punishing people would be so cruel."

"Don't judge a person by his appearance. Some people are just evil spirits in human skin. Anyone with a little kindness in their heart will not do such a cruel thing."

Nanny Lou came jogging over and just happened to hear someone say that her old lady was an evil ghost.

She just felt her head buzzing and she wished she could die immediately.

Perhaps she ran too fast and she stumbled and fell at the door of the hall with a thud, causing a burst of exclamations.

Nanny Lou, who was seeing stars after being knocked down, didn't care about the sharp pain in her knee, she got up and rushed into the hall.

Madam Lou almost knelt beside Ye Jintang, panting and whispering, "Sixth Miss, why are you running to the main hall to copy scriptures? Hurry up and go back with me. You have so many people watching. Do you still want to maintain your reputation?"

"Madam Lou, I don't like what you said. Why can't I come to the main hall to copy scriptures?"

"The east wing is small and cold, the light is not good, and the Buddha statue is not as big as the one in the main hall."

"Besides, there are so many Buddha statues in the main hall. If I copy the scriptures in front of them, maybe my grandmother's illness will really get better soon."

Ye Jintang's voice was quite loud, and everyone watching outside could hear it clearly.

Everyone suddenly realized that the wife of Marquis Danyang originally wanted to hide the person in the dark, but she didn't expect that Miss Ye Liu was simple-minded and wanted to pray for the wife of the Marquis, so she came to the main hall to copy scriptures.

How could the wife of Marquis Danyang bear to torture such a kind-hearted Sixth Miss? It is truly a sin.

Aunt Lou was almost crying at this moment. If the two continued arguing, there might be no end to it today.

More and more pilgrims are gathering outside, and it is hard to say what kind of rumors will spread in the end.

"Sixth Miss, I said something wrong. Please be magnanimous. I will settle this with you."

"Young lady, you came here early to copy scriptures. You haven't had breakfast yet, right? Why don't we go have breakfast first and continue copying scriptures later."

Seeing that things were developing as she had imagined, Ye Jintang naturally would not continue kneeling here.
