Miss Cousin Wants to Become a Monk

Chapter 15 She is different from before

He deserved it. Who told him to have a broken mouth?

"Cousin Xie." Cui Muli said, "I will take good care of Xijun from now on."

Cui Xining hurriedly said: "I can do it too."

Xie Miao nodded with satisfaction, "I trust my Cousins and your promises."

No matter how troublesome it is, there is always food.

The chef at Zhiwei Lou has an ancestor who was a royal cook in the palace, so his cooking skills are extraordinary.

Delicious delicacies are served one after another: almond bergamot, ruyi cake, shredded chicken cucumber, mushrooms, anchovy fins, palace rabbit, first-grade bird's nest, fresh bean sprouts, mountain bracken delicacies, salt-fried pork, minced meat pancakes, dragon cakes...

The delicacies on the jade plate should have left a fragrance on the lips and teeth, but Cui Xijun ate them like wax. She glanced at Xie Miao from time to time and saw that she was concentrating on eating bean sprouts and mushrooms, no different from usual.

But she was definitely different from before.

No matter how hard she tried in the past three years, Xie Miao always remained silent and accepted it humiliatingly. Cui Xijun knew very well that if Xie Miao wanted to marry her second brother, she would naturally have to knock out her teeth and swallow it, so she bullied her even more unscrupulously. If she speaks rudely to Xie Miao, the second brother will of course stop her, but Xie Miao will often come out to smooth things over in order to leave a generous and tolerant impression in the second brother's mind.

One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. As time goes by, the second brother will not interfere much.

Just now in front of her second brother, she actually said so bluntly: I can't bear to be angry in the future. If I am angry, I will find every way to pay it back...Tit for tat retaliation, the net must be broken.

Xie Miao's brain was probably really damaged.

Cui Xijun threw her grievances behind her and thought with schadenfreude: It's good to be reckless. After this incident, her second brother will completely dislike her.

There were several glances at Xie Miao overtly and covertly, but she was still there, fighting seriously with the mushroom and bean sprouts.

As expected of Zhiwei Lou, even the vegetarian dishes are much more delicious than elsewhere.

A table full of people finished their meal with different thoughts. Su Panyan calmed down and sent someone to pay the bill. She was told that Young Master Cui had already cleared the account.

Su Panyan had a lot to say. After hesitating for a long time, she lowered her eyelashes shyly and said, "Thank you, Second Brother."

Cui Muli said "hmm".

Cui Xining stood aside and observed them calmly, but Xie Miao, who should have been concerned, went to the counter and asked in a low voice: "How much money did this meal cost?"

The shopkeeper reported the number, which was excessive, but within Xie Miao's expectation.

Baochang Pavilion and Zhiwei Lou were places that the aristocratic children of the capital liked to visit. Hundreds and thousands of taels of silver were thrown around, but with her current status, she couldn't afford to go in and out.

After marrying Cui Muli in her previous life, she didn't need to worry about money. But in this life, will she continue to be poor?

Xie Miao couldn't help but fall into deep thinking.

"I want to go back to the Ministry of Justice, what about you?" Cui Muli said.

Zhou Niannan said: "I made an appointment with Bai Lisheng to go horseriding. It's on the way, can you give me a ride there?"

Cui Xijun's anger went away as quickly as it came. She held Su Panyan's hand and said, "Panyan and I made an appointment to visit the bookstore then return home later."

Cui Muli looked at Cui Xining, and Cui Xining looked at Xie Miao, "Xie Miao, do you want to play some more?"

"No, I have something to do."

"Then we will go back home directly."

The two of them had not walked a few steps when Zhou Niannan remembered his mother's instructions. He stepped forward quickly, leaned forward and whispered to Xie Miao: "My Mother asked me to tell you, thank you for the persimmons you sent."

Xie Miao turned her head and saw that his expression was serious, so she responded: "Yes."

Zhou Niannan and Cui Muli stayed where they were, watching their carriage leave. The sun lengthened their shadows, and the dust was scattered in the light, like twinkling stars.

Cui Muli clasped his hands behind his back, his dark eyes were so dark that is was impossible to see through the thoughts inside.

"Cui Er." Zhou Niannan casually put his hand on his right shoulder and raised the corner of his mouth. He couldn't help but say happily: "I told you a long time ago that Xie Miao was always pretending in the past. Did you see that? She looked so unreasonable. That forgiving and powerful appearance is her true face. She is just pretending to be gentle, kind, delicate, weak, and tolerant towards others."

"So you must not be deceived by her again."

After returning to Cui Mansion, Xie Miao started thinking about making money.

After she married Cui Muli in her previous life, the tide rose and everything rose, and she became a noble lady in the capital. The Cui family had been officials for generations and have a rich family fortune. Cui Muli also has countless private properties in his hands. As Cui Muli's wife, she had precious things to spend on food and clothing, not to mention hundreds of taels of silver, even if it was thousands of taels of silver, she would never hesitate to spend it.

However, things are different now. She has decided not to have anything to do with Cui Muli anymore, which means that she will lose not only Cui Muli, a good son-in-law who makes unmarried women in the capital crazy, but also the glory, wealth, fame and status he brought with him.

No more squandering money, no fine clothes and food, even a three hundred tael of silver plaything can only be looked at a few times. The money is too tight, and she can't afford it.

Without Cui Muli, she was just a cousin from Pingjiang who came to the capital to join her aunt. A poor and shabby cousin from a down-and-out family.

It may sound a bit miserable, but Xie Miao is very calm about reviving her life. She once had such prosperity, but she could not change her miserable life. She might as well be happy in this life and act according to her own wishes.

Originally, her idea was very simple. After her aunt gives birth to her younger brother, her feelings for her will change from strong to weak. After she finishes what she has to do, she will go to Qingxin Temple to become a nun. After visiting Baochang Pavilion and Zhiwei Lou, she deeply realized that she made a mistake and was very wrong.

Don't you need money to be a nun?

As a nun, you should also be filial to your aunt and love your younger brother. A nun also has to donate money to Qingxin Temple for shelter. Being a nun also means enjoying life occasionally, taking the two girls out to try vegetarian food in restaurants...

Xie Miao quickly became determined: she wanted to make money and become a wealthy nun!
