CH 101

Chapter 101: Pray to Buddha Original translation is from tenderflower's blog.

On the day Qiqi returned home, the whole family surrounded her and expressed their concern. When she finished washing and preparing to rest, the eldest sister-in-law knocked on the door.

The eldest sister-in-law’s complexion was still not good looking. As everyone knew she was also frightened because of her sister-in-law’s(Qiqi) thing, but it was a false alarm in the end. However, the eldest sister-in-law didn’t think so. She was different from everyone. She was more or less half a party involved.

“Eldest sister-in-law.” Qiqi saw the eldest sister-in-law’s desire to speak and ordered the servant girls to go out. She took the eldest sister-in-law to sit down.

“Sister-in-law.” The eldest sister-in-law opened her mouth and said with difficulty: “Handsome Fairness Chen and I are in the old days. Later, I married your eldest brother. Soon after, she was also selected as a beauty to enter the palace. However, she offended a favored concubine and was demoted to be a palace maid at that time and remained in the palace after losing the election. She and I were once boudoir’s sisters. I was really surprised when I saw her that day and was pulled by her to talk about family affairs, but I didn’t expect......”

“I’m all right, sister-in-law.”

The eldest sister-in-law sighed: “Thank heavens, you’re all right! Sister-in-law also knows that if it weren’t for Prince Xuan’s help......”

Qiqi didn’t know how to respond. The rim of her sister-in-law’s eyes suddenly reddened: “It’s all my fault for not knowing people’s depths. I really didn’t know that Handsome Fairness Chen and the imperial uncle were a group. Especially to draw me away at that time! If Prince Xuan didn’t send someone to inform and there is the nineteenth princess’s help in the aftermath, even if your sister-in-law died ten thousand times she couldn’t get rid of her sin!”

Qiqi naturally knew what happened that night came from Shen Zhonghua’s handling. A tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye. It was just that Handsome Fairness Chen, although she intended to harm her, she lost her status. Qiqi couldn’t tell what the feeling in her heart was like.

Before leaving, the eldest sister-in-law told Qiqi to take a good rest. She nodded, but it wasn’t until half of the night that she finally fell asleep.

She originally thought Shen Zhonghua would come, but she didn’t expect she waited for nothing in the middle of the night until she woke up the next day and found that there was an extra glazed-like Queen of the Night flower hairpin on the dressing table like all the previous inexplicable little gifts.

There was also a small medicine box. Inside was a small box of ointment and a bottle of brown pills.

Seeing this small box of ointment, Qiqi blushed again. Of course, she knew what it was. Was this fragrance not what Shen Zhonghua applied for her...... down there? She was more than familiar with this ointment.

Qiqi opened the thin paper inside the small medicine box. What came into view was the familiar handwriting of Shen Zhonghua which was also her handwriting. She once spent a long time imitating Shen Zhonghua’s handwriting. One was because his handwriting was vigorous and strong. She thought it was very beautiful. The other was because she was a person that died for him and needed to know everything about her master. It would inevitably be needed in the future.

The words written on the paper were telling her not to take the child prevention medicine (soup) and harm her body. If she was worried about being pregnant, she could take the pills in the medicine box. He just found someone to prepare it specially and it had very little harm to the body......

There was a seal of Ping’an Drugstore on the paper. Ping’an Drugstore......

Qiqi was surprised and almost overthrew the small medicine box in her hands. This piece of paper had the seal of Ping’an Drugstore which clearly meant that Shen Zhonghua knew of her taking medicine before......

Obviously what she did wasn’t wrong......

As an unmarried woman, how could she be pregnant?

But why was she poked by him like this? Somehow Qiqi was at a loss and didn't know what to do for a while. And this medicine Shen Zhonghua gave her, she felt it was heavy in her hand......

Knowing that this medicine wasn’t poison, but she felt as hot as a freshly baked potato in her hand......

Hearing Miss got up, the servant girl asked if she could come in. Qiqi hastily collected the medicine and called the servant girl to come in.

Mother Su was still afraid and asked if she wanted to sleep a little more. Speaking of which, the few “over-the-top beams” of the generals didn’t go to the imperial court. They all took leave to think of ways to calm the fright of the dear little sister.

On the contrary, Qiqi was like nothing happened. It wasn’t until a few days later that the family was willing to be reassured. Mother Su went to the Lian Hua Monastery again to pray and also sought a peace charm for the daughter and added money to the Buddha. Thanks to the Buddha. This time Qiqi wasn’t in danger. It was really Heaven’s protection. On the other hand, the eldest sister-in-law made a vow in front of the Buddha to eat a month of vegetarian food to calm Qiqi’s fright.

Qiqi also rarely stepped out of the door. Plus last time the Lian Hua Monastery had an accident, old five and old six followed this time. Qiqi helped mother Su who had finished adding money come out of the main hall and happened to meet the virtuous and prestigious Great Master Kongwen.

“Amitabha.” The great master folded his hands together with compassion on his brows and said: “The  boat side companion sank, good things are near.”

Hearing what the great master said, the whole family was very happy. They also knew the great master had hinted to something and didn’t bother to pursue questioning. Qiqi didn’t know what good things there were until she heard about the peace marriage when she was eating out......
