Chapter 232: Madonna
After coming out of the prison cell, Sun Shaozong saw Jia Baoyu looking dispirited and waved his hand in front of him, saying with a smile, "Hey, Baoyu, you've been acting like shattered bodies and souls. You won't be scared by a few living nuns, will you?"
Jia Baoyu sighed. "I feel that, except for their appearance, they are ten times more frightening than the corpse, especially the last one..."
He clicked his tongue in fear but couldn't help but question, "I have seen those wicked monks in the Tielan Temple before. They are just some mundane people who deceive the world for fame. How could they have turned three perfectly good women into this ghastly state?"
"Can nuns also be considered perfectly good women?"
Sun Shaozong couldn't agree with this statement, but he didn't want to argue with Jia Baoyu. He shook his head and said, "Under immense pressure, a person's character will inevitably change to some extent, but there won't be many who undergo such extreme and twisted changes."
"But they are all... "
"Don't forget that there were more than a dozen nuns who were raped by those wicked monks in the Shuiyue Monastery. These three were the most affected, otherwise, Jia Qin wouldn't have chosen them as accomplices."
Upon hearing this, Jia Baoyu's mood improved slightly.
However, Miaoyu next to him was still lost in thought and even forgot that she was in public. She subconsciously placed her hand on her chest, revealing a full and shapely curve beneath her patched clothes. Although she was not as full as Li Wan, she was more upright.
It was worth noting that there were no shaping undergarments at that time, and unlike the Tang Dynasty, which was known for its boldness, where women liked to squeeze their breasts upwards, one could infer a person's appearance from their silhouette.
It was unexpected that this nun had something real under her flowing robes
Sun Shaozong thought about these inappropriate thoughts but showed a bit of sarcasm on his face. "So, after seeing these three nuns, are you more hesitant?"
"No!"
However, Miaoyu shook her head firmly. "Since you said that one's character is influenced by the company they keep, I believe that if they are willing to work hard, they can make the children they bear strive for goodness!"
As she spoke, her pretty face, which was already shining with a porcelain-like soft light, suddenly emitted a maternal radiance.
On the day a new official assumed office, the officials below would typically prepare the welcome banquet.
However, yesterday, Wei Rulan lost face and was unable to vent his frustration. He left early, so the reception banquet had to be postponed until today.
"My Lord," Lin Delu asked cautiously, "I heard that Minister Han will definitely be there tonight. Should we prepare something?"
To flatter Wei Rulan, Han Anbang invested a lot of effort in supporting him. When Sun Shaozong took office, Jia Yucun attended his banquet to show his support. Now that Wei Rulan was enjoying even greater benefits, it was obvious that he would be given even higher treatment.
"What is there to prepare for?
After listening to Lin Delu's words, Sun Shaozong stretched his body lazily and said, "Since Minister Han has come forward, I'm happy to take a break and go back to spend some quality time with my wife and children."
Lin Delu became anxious immediately. "My Lord, if you don't go, then what about us? Should we also..."
He wanted to say, "Should we also not go," but he was afraid of the consequences and couldn't bring himself to say it.
"Don't think too much, just go and eat and enjoy yourselves," Sun Shaozong said with a smile.
"After all, he is a sixth-grade judge appointed by the Court. We must observe proper etiquette. As long as you don't do anything against the country's laws and norms while following him, it's fine."
"But what if..."
Lin Delu was still hesitant. "What if someone who is not in a sound mind stands team with him..."
"Stand team?"
Sun Shaozong's face became stern, and he rebuked, "We are all serving the country, so where does the word Standing team come from?"
However, he continued, "Speaking of it, since the new year, everyone in our Criminal Department has been a bit slack. I think it's time to catch a few typical cases and clean up the atmosphere."
