"Master Wangyou?"

Upon hearing this name, Qu Yunchu realized that Tao wanted to completely cut off the past and truly become a monk.

She walked forward slowly, looked at the small piece of soil that Tao had loosened, and said with a faint smile: "It seems that Master Wangyou has adapted to Jiuyun Mountain, which can also put the old friends at ease. "

"Life is impermanent. It is most precious to be able to find a piece of pure land and live according to your heart without being disturbed by the world. There is nothing else to ask for."

Mr. Tao also responded with a warm smile: "Isn't that what Uncle Master wants?"

Although he guessed that she already knew his identity, Qu Yunchu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard her calling him uncle.

I had heard earlier that Changqing had accepted Mr. Tao into the temple in the name of his late master. His status was equal to that of the temple master, which was already the highest courtesy. However, his seniority was too high, and he was not allowed to enter the temple. I can only accept her title of uncle.

"Master Wangyou's state of mind is truly admirable."

Qu Yunchu let out a long sigh: "I only hope that everything goes well for you, Master. If you need anything on the mountain, please feel free to give me your instructions."

"Blessings are boundless."

Mrs. Tao clasped her hands together and said, "The worldly relationship between you and me has long since ended. Uncle, there is no need to be so polite. I now live my life as I please. Senior Brother Guanzhu and everyone else also take good care of me. Uncle, there is no need to worry about me. You should focus on me." In the great cause of helping those in need and accumulating merit."

Seeing her calm and carefree look, Qu Yunchu knew that his trip here was unnecessary.

Perhaps, letting her no longer think about the past and not disturbing her is the best blessing for her.

After saying goodbye to Mrs. Tao, Qu Yunchu went to the Changsheng Hall to offer incense, thinking about the memorial tablets of his father and Shen Chongshan.

Zhongshan Mountain allows Zhang Jinnian to worship a tablet alone, but the relationship between the two is not shallow, and Zhang Jinnian feels deeply guilty towards him.

As for the relationship between his father's death and Zhang Jinnian, further inquiries are needed.

She didn't want to disturb Mrs. Tao anymore, so she had to focus on Liu Shen.

Thinking of this, she had no time to say goodbye to Lu Junwan and went down the mountain to the Weaving Department alone.

Due to the abolition of the Lu family's royal merchants, Liu Quan has been very busy recently. The Yanyang Weaving Bureau alone is enough for him to take care of.

However, when he learned that Qu Yunchu was coming, he still put down his work and invited her into the house.

Looking at the piles of account books on the table, Liu Quan ordered people to serve tea while apologizing: "I heard that the Lu family's business in various states has been hit hard, and Mr. Lu's Northland ginseng and various precious medicinal materials business has also been robbed. This At that time, our family had to add insult to injury and close down the Weaving Bureau. We feel really guilty."

"Eunuch Liu, these words are serious."

Qu Yunchu naturally knew his difficulties: "Yanyang Weaving Bureau is originally run by the imperial court. Without the status of imperial merchant, how can the Lu family continue to operate."

"Ahem, who knows that Yanyang Weaving Bureau owes its current prosperity to Mr. Lu."

Liu Quan sighed: "Back then, the Yanyang Weaving Bureau was just a small clothing workshop of the Lu family. In just a few years, Mr. Lu became the number one weaver in the Dayue Dynasty. To be fair, the imperial court was just sitting there. It’s just about reaping the benefits of being a fisherman.”

Qu Yunchu now knows a lot about Lu Wenqian's legendary deeds in the shopping mall. Although he feels sorry for him, he is also very helpless.

Who allowed the Lu family to have a little overlord who was only capable of fighting and showing off but was lawless.

The only one to blame is Lu Yanchao for not sparing his blessings.

"The past is like a cloud, let it pass. Fortunately, the lives of everyone in the Lu family have been saved. Eunuch Liu does not need to be sentimental."

Qu Yunchu said in relief.Liu Quan nodded thoughtfully: "Since the Second Young Madam and the Second Master Lu have left the Lu family, and the Second Master has been canonized as a Marquis of Changyuan by the Emperor, at this time we should actually choose to be wise and protect ourselves. Why bother to come back and wade through this muddy water again."

After a pause, his tone became more solemn and he said: "Our family has also settled the accounts for the Lu family. Now I am afraid that the entire Xiyuan Bank and the Changyuan Hou Mansion together will not be able to make up for the deficits of the Lu family. Yeah, it’s really not worth the loss for the second master to do this.”

Qu Yunchu had not considered this point carefully.

After all, her mind was not here. She just wanted to protect Lu Wenqian, managed to bring down Zhang Jinnian, and then successfully eradicated the Devil's Cave Ghost King, which would be considered a success.

"As the saying goes, marry a chicken, follow the chicken, marry a dog, follow the dog. The second master has made the decision, and I can only follow his husband's lead."

Qu Yunchu prevaricated in a serious manner.

"The Second Young Madam is really affectionate and righteous."

Liu Quan was in awe and said, "I don't know why the Second Young Madam came here today. Is there anything we can do for you?"

Qu Yunchu did not mince words and asked bluntly: "My father-in-law should know that in order to save the eunuch's life earlier, I forced him to set up a memorial tablet for longevity in Xuandu Temple, but the eunuch set up a memorial tablet for my father alone. The reason for this is really puzzling, does father-in-law know anything about what happened back then?"

"My lord?"

Liu Quan hesitated for a moment, frowned and said slowly: "Mr. Shen has been in the palace for a long time and has been serving the late emperor for decades. Our family has heard many good things about Dr. Shen. He has superb medical skills and is also very generous and righteous." , when he won the favor of the emperor, even the eunuch had not yet gained power in front of the late emperor. It is said that he once saved the eunuch's life and helped the eunuch a lot, and the two had a deep friendship."

After being silent for a few seconds, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh: "Second Young Madam, you should also know that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, not to mention that the late emperor had a changeable temperament. Our family was there when Dr. Shen was questioned. He was just an unknown and transparent person in the palace, and our family didn’t know the situation at that time, but the eunuch has always been worried about the death of Imperial Doctor Shen, and even felt a little guilty.”

"Guilty?"

Qu Yunchu pretended that nothing happened and continued to test: "If you want me to die, I have to die. What should he feel guilty about?"

"After all, we have been close friends for so many years."

Liu Quan said: "When Dr. Shen's accident happened, the eunuch already had some prestige in front of Emperor Changqing. According to his old man, if he had dared to speak out at that time, he might have been able to save Dr. Shen's life, but he had various concerns. I didn’t plead to the late emperor, so I could only watch Doctor Shen being executed.”

"That's all?"

Qu Yunchu gave him a serious look.

"Ah."

Liu Quan replied with a sincere face: "Our family and the Second Young Madam are now allies on the same boat. To be selfish, the Second Young Madam should know about our current relationship with the eunuch. Although it is not incompatible, But we have already separated from each other, so our family naturally hopes that the second young lady and our family will always be of the same mind, so why would our family deceive the young lady about such a thing?"

What he said is quite true.

Qu Yunchu thought for a moment and felt that there was no need for Liu Quan to hide anything for Zhang Jinnian.

It seems that I am afraid that I have wrongly blamed Zhang Jinnian.

"Who doesn't cherish their own feathers?"

Qu Yunchu sighed softly: "My father-in-law just said that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. There is nothing wrong with the eunuch choosing Mingzhe to protect himself."

If Zhang Jinnian feels guilty towards Zhongshan because he did not come forward to intercede on his behalf, based on their years of friendship, Zhang Jinnian’s independence of the longevity card is indeed justified.

But what about his father?
Why did his father leave a trace of his presence around Zhang Jinnian?
