Su Mu waved at him and said, "Stand up, you are?"

The young monk was around 20 years old and holding a broom in his hand, he should be a cleaner. Su Mu looked at him carefully, and other than him not being very calm at the start, he was not very afraid now. Su Mu thought to herself, he should also be someone who had seen the world.

Su Mu was a bit puzzled. Normally, people in the countryside would never see someone with a high position. As the concubine he was currently, being scolded like this by her, he would never be this calm.

Although he was thinking this in his heart, Su Mu only smiled and said to him, "Little monk, are you going to clean up today?"

Zhuo Qingfeng interrupted, "Didn't you guys sweep the floor earlier this morning? What? How many times a day? "

The little monk said to Zhuo Qingfeng, "Lady, you don't know this, this is the rules of our temple, because esteemed guests are here …"

As he said this, he stealthily glanced at Su Mu. Su Mu knew that the guest he was referring to should be herself. Then, she must maintain a clean and tidy appearance in the temple. Perhaps the unimportant guest was referring to her …

"Empress, I wonder if you're here to find our Reverend?" If he did not say it like this, Su Mu did not feel that anything was wrong. As he said this, Su Mu looked towards the building where she was standing. She was right, this should be the place where Reverend Fang lived, but compared to Su Mu's room, this place was extremely simple and crude, with tiles almost falling down.

The little monk seemed to notice Su Mu's doubt and said to her, "Esteemed wangfei, you don't know about it. Our abbot smiled simply, never putting the major and minor matters of his life to heart. He only cares about the others!"

After he finished speaking, he even smiled at Su Mu.

Su Mu looked at him and said expressionlessly, "No matter what, it's been hard on you. But, I want to ask you, when did the frescoes on the walls appear?"

It was as if he was thinking about something. After thinking for a long time, he still shook his head and said to Su Mu, "Empress, this little monk did not know that since he came to the temple, the mural has been around since he came here. This little monk came here two years ago!"

In other words, it was already engraved two years ago? This was in line with Su Mu's deduction.

The little monk's broom was getting tighter and tighter. It was obvious that he was busy sweeping the floor. Perhaps there was a rule within the temple?

Su Mu said to him, "Since that's the case, little monk, you can go and busy yourself with your own things. No need to guard this place anymore, I have my own matters to attend to!"

After the little monk left, Su Mu thought to himself, I might need to go to the abode of the abbot to have a look, maybe I have some clues! After all, there were too many secrets in Jade Dragon Temple.

Before she could get close, she saw two women dressed up.

Su Mu was shocked. Jade Dragon Temple was a magnificent national temple and was filled with monks. There were no women. Why were there two girls coming out of the abbot's room?

The two girls looked to be around 40 to 50 years old, but they were dressed like village women. They should be normal village women near Jade Dragon Temple. Su Mu noticed that they were even carrying a few lunch boxes.

At this time, Zhuo Qingfeng whispered into Su Mu's ear, "Su Mu, could it be that they are here to deliver food to someone? "However, this abbot should be the one in charge of the ceremony. How could that be?"

Zhuo Qingfeng's words were true. It was too much of a coincidence that this Abbot had appeared here.

After the two women left, Su Mu and Zhuo Qingfeng quietly entered the abode of the abbot.

Honestly speaking, in the place where the Reverend Fang lived, all the furnishings were exactly the same. However, what was rather sudden was that there was actually a bookshelf, and most of the bookshelves were filled with scriptures. There were also a few Four Books and Five Classics, all of which could be considered normal.

There were quite a few paintings beside the bookshelves. Su Mu walked over and opened one of the paintings. What appeared before him was a very beautiful woman.

This woman had dense black hair and her name was Meng Hao. She was about 14 or 15 years old.

Su Mu rolled up the portrait and opened it one by one. When he looked at it, he was surprised to see that the woman in the painting was describing the same person.

At first, it was the appearance of a four or five-year-old girl, then almost a year, and finally, seventeen or eighteen years old. Moreover, it was already a new wife, and she was wearing the wedding dress of a married woman.

Su Mu thought, could it be that this girl has an unspeakable relationship with Reverend Fang, or is it her illegitimate daughter or something like that? For the masters of this temple, if they spread this sort of scandal, it would be detrimental to their future prospects.

Zhuo Qingfeng stood at the side and looked at the portraits one by one. He was clearly bored, so he said to Su Mu, "Alright, Su Mu, what are you looking at this for, isn't this a woman, maybe that old monk is too inattentive, if he likes a woman he doesn't dare to pursue, so this is how he drew these pictures, to express his feelings for her!"

Su Mu shook his head. Absolutely not. This girl's portrait had lasted from childhood all the way until the age of seventeen. She must have been cared for by this old monk since she was young.

If she didn't come, it would mean that he had some sort of relationship with her. Otherwise, things wouldn't be so simple.

Su Mu put down the portraits and looked to the side. The bed in the room was very clean, and the floor was also spotless. It was obvious that the abbot was someone who loved cleanliness. This matched his image.

Su Mu walked over slowly. She stood in front of the table and saw a teapot and two cups on the table. There was still some tea in the cups.

Su Mu touched his cup with his hand. The tea was still warm, so it seemed that Master Fang was entertaining some important guest. However, the guest had not left for long. After all, there was still some warmth left in the tea.

At this moment, Su Mu noticed something unusual. She gently lifted the teacup and fiddled with it. There was actually wine in the teacup. Moreover, this should be an aged wine!

Su Mu's heart moved. Thinking of the food boxes that the two women had brought with them, she started to look for food in the house.
