I heard that the county lord is not feeling well, are you feeling better?” Seeing the Pingyang county lord coming out from inside, Mu Ling looked over with a serene brow.
“It’s all right.” Pingyang County Lord said, glaring at Zhang Shi again.
The Princess of Pingyang did not ask them their intentions, so Mu Ling could only take the initiative to speak: “Master, I came here today because I have something to discuss with the Master.”
“Mother, what’s the matter?” The Master of Pingyang asked, looking alertly. Looking at Mu Ling – her mother-in-law should not want her to adopt Zhang’s son, right? This is absolutely impossible!
“Man’er, both of us are suffering. We lost our husband and son. I can’t stay in this place anymore, so I want to shave my hair and convert to Buddhism at Yunyue Nunnery outside the city. You and me, Man’er. Let’s do it.” Mu Ling looked at Princess Pingyang sincerely.
The Princess of Pingyang was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Mu Ling incredulously—is her mother-in-law stupid? To let her… ordained?
The Pingyang County Lord has always liked a luxurious life, and he never thought about such a thing as a monk. At this time, Mu Ling suddenly proposed it, and even refused without hesitation: “Mother, I don’t want to become a monk!”
“Now the Wei family has no one left, what can we do if we don’t go? Man’er, just listen to your mother and become a monk with your mother. If you are worried about your life, you can find two girls to be a monk with to serve you. Your mother has donated a lot of sesame oil money, and we will never endure hunger.” Mu Ling said again, with a thoughtful look.
The face of the Princess of Pingyang was pulled down. She now has a total of twenty or thirty people who serve her and take care of her food and daily life. This old woman asked two people to follow her to become a monk with a kind of grace… …what is this?
After she became a monk, she had to live without water, shaved her head, and couldn’t go out casually… The face of the Pingyang County Master was getting darker and darker.
However, Mu Ling was still persuading tirelessly: “Man’er, we have lost our husbands and children. We are really unfortunate people, so we should recite sutras every day…”
“You don’t have to say, if you like to become a monk, you can go to be a monk yourself. , don’t get involved with me!” At this moment, the Princess Pingyang only had disgust for her mother-in-law, and her tone became worse.
“Old lady, my county master is in a bad mood, and don’t want to think about it for the time being, not to mention that the old lady should not be so aggressive.” It was as if Mu Ling forced his daughter-in-law to become a monk.
However, Mu Ling’s big battle today was on the surface to force the Pingyang County Lord to become a monk, so her expression became serious: “Man’er, there are some things I shouldn’t have said, but it’s impossible to say it now. You should know what the outside world is saying about you now. You are now in disrepute, what can you do if you don’t go? Could it be that the Wei family and Wangfu who still want to bring their tired heads up, the girls from the two families can’t marry? You have been married to the Wei family for more than ten years, and I rarely take care of you, but now I have to… You must become a monk with me!”
The words “unfortunate” that Mu Ling said today were the words of her own. I don’t believe it, but this doesn’t affect her angering the Princess of Pingyang.
How to deal with the Pingyang County Lord, Mu Ling also thought of several ways. At first, she wanted to poison the Pingyang County Lord regardless of her life, but she was worried that King Zhao would investigate in detail, and then she thought of going to the imperial court. This year, as long as an old lady like her goes to the yamen to file a complaint, not to mention her daughter-in-law, she can even destroy her son. Disobedience and unfilial piety are serious crimes!
She risked her life to sue the imperial court and was killed at the gate of the palace. At that time, the emperor must give the people of the world an explanation to deal with the Pingyang county master, but forcing the emperor in this way will cause the emperor’s disgust if she is not careful.
If so, what else can be done? Mu Ling thought about it for a few days, and finally got inspiration from Wei Jingyao’s death.
She doesn’t want to live anymore. After her Qiu’er passed away, she no longer has any nostalgia for this world. Since she will die sooner or later, she might as well die at the hands of the Pingyang County Master. When that time comes, the Pingyang County Master who accidentally kills her mother-in-law will die. , Is it possible that the emperor can not deal with it?
In this way, the final result is similar to the effect of her lawsuit against the imperial court, and King Zhao has no reason to embarrass the people around her.
Mu Ling took advantage of Pingyang County Master’s bad mood as the knife
The words that Mu Ling said that the Pingyang County Lord must be a monk was decisive, and also made the hands of the Pingyang County Lord tremble. This old woman, why did you let me become a monk?”
Mu Ling’s face changed immediately: “County Lord, no matter how I say it, I am your elder, how can you be so rude?”
“I can’t bear an elder like you! If you want to become a monk, don’t make trouble for me!” Let her recite the scriptures all day like her mother-in-law, it would be better to kill her! The Princess of Pingyang turned around and was about to leave.
Mu Ling immediately stopped the Pingyang County Lord: “You stop for me!” How could the Pingyang County Lord really stop? Seeing Mu Ling coming over, she stretched out her hand and pushed it.
The Pingyang County Master didn’t use much strength, but Mu Ling still fell to the ground and coughed while covering his mouth.
Princess Pingyang was stunned when she saw this scene, but the nanny beside her helped Mu Ling up: “Old lady, your legs and feet are inconvenient now, let me help you to rest.”
This nanny is really smart, If she really only wanted to make the Pingyang County Lord become a monk, she might be helped away by someone because of her inconvenience, but her ultimate goal was not to force the Pingyang County Lord to become a monk. Mu Ling stood up, shook off the wet nurse and grabbed the hand of the Pingyang County Lord: “Man’er, you must become a monk with me!”
After the Pingyang County Lord pushed Mu Ling down, he also felt that what he had done was wrong – there are still outsiders! But even if she felt she was wrong, Mu Ling’s act of grabbing her hand made her feel unbearable. She doesn’t like others touching her indiscriminately, and Mu Ling’s hands are still sticky and greasy at the moment, and then think about the behavior of this woman covering her mouth and coughing just now… The Princess of Pingyang is about to feel sick, so she pull it back immediately but Mu Ling held it extremely tightly.
“Let me go!” The Princess Pingyang shouted in disgust, struggling.
Mu Ling’s mouth curled into a slight smile, and then bumped into the Pingyang County Lord. For a while, the two of them seemed to be fighting. Since she did nothing but hold the Pingyang County Lord’s hand, it was even more so. It’s like Pingyang County hit her.
She had already taken poison when she fell to the ground and pretended to cough, and now there is nothing else to do, just entangle the Pingyang County Lord… Mu Ling will not let go of the Pingyang County Lord.
Everyone who saw this scene was stunned, and the people around Pingyang County were even more eager to separate the two, but how could the two be separated so well?
“Amitabha…” Several masters have always walked among noble ladies, and they have never seen such a scene, except for reciting Buddha, they are at a loss.
At this moment, Mu Ling suddenly fell to the ground.
“Old lady!” The nurse of the Pingyang County Lord screamed. Many people in the Wei family have died. If there is a problem with this old lady when entangled with their County Lord, then their County Lord will be finished. !
The nanny immediately realized the seriousness of the matter, but it was too late.
Mu Ling’s whole body twitched on the ground, and it didn’t take long for her to lose her breath, and she died.
“Mother!” The timid Mrs. Zhang burst into tears when she saw this scene. Others who followed Mu Ling looked at the Princess Pingyang in horror, and the two old ladies who were next to the Wei family even turned around. Run away, lest the Pingyang County Master react and kill him.
“Amitabha…” Several masters kept reciting Buddha, Mrs. Wei worshipped Buddha all the year round, and she has not less money to donate sesame oil to temples and nunneries, but now she died like this…
“I didn’t do anything at all!” She shouting, but who would believe her?
The matter of the husband killed by the Pingyang County Lord was really just a rumor before. Although everyone was spreading it, there were few people who believed it – the Pingyang County Lord was just a woman, Wei Jingyao was her support, what could she do? Will he kill Wei Jingyao?
Most people despise women, even women like the Pingyang County Lord, so they don’t believe that the Pingyang County Lord dares to kill his own man, but when the news that the Pingyang County Lord beat his mother-in-law to death came out, and many people who witnessed this incident stood up and spoke, these people couldn’t sit still.
A woman should be at home with her husband and children. How can she beat and kill her mother-in-law? Such a rebellious woman must be killed in order to set an example!
Filial piety is something that every scholar must do. Those who are officials, and everyone is professing filial piety. Under such circumstances, how can the Pingyang County Master get better?
King Zhao has been in a state of turmoil since the rumor that the Pingyang County Lord killed her husband spread. Thinking that his daughter not only did not calm down, but also made a bigger leak. At this moment, even he can’t save his own daughter… The civil and military of the whole dynasty made a play, demanding to deal with the Pingyang county master according to the law, and finally the king of Zhao He and Princess Zhao gave up their old faces and ran around for help.
On the grounds that there was no trauma on Mu Ling’s body, they said that the Pingyang County Lord did not really do anything, so that the Pingyang County Lord could save her life, but at this time, she may be more likely to die, more uncomfortable.
The emperor personally decreed that the princess of Pingyang should become a nun and go to the nunnery outside the city for ascetic cultivation, and specially found someone to watch her, so that she could not break the precept, and even forbid her to keep someone to serve by her side – I am tired of this. The princess with the reputation of the royal family, although the emperor spared her life, he had already disliked it, and even had an opinion on the king of Zhao.
All of this was expected by Mu Ling, but when she actually saw it, she couldn’t help laughing, and kept chanting the words “evil will be rewarded”.
That’s right, she saw it, she turned into a ghost after her death.
