When Su Ergou and Shopkeeper Sun returned to the nunnery, Su Xiaoxiao was standing at the entrance counting the silver notes.

Counting her silver notes inattentively.

One, two, three, four, five.

The Governor was really generous!

“Jie*!”

*Jie (姐) : Older sister

Su Ergou ran over with an armful of fruits.

Sweating profusely.

Su Xiaoxiao took out the handkerchief, she was used to taking care of the three little ones, she had practiced the movements of wiping sweat very smoothly.

Su Ergou was stunned for a moment.

His older sister had never treated him like this before.

Besides, he was not a little child anymore.

“You don’t want me to wipe it for you?” Su Xiaoxiao glanced at him and asked.

“Wipe it, wipe it!” Su Ergou put his head forward.

He can be an adult again tomorrow!

Su Xiaoxiao wiped Su Ergou’s sweat and threw the handkerchief to Su Ergou to wash.

Su Ergou asked the young nuns from the nunnery for a basket, “Jie, this kind of fruit is especially sweet, you try it!”

“Where did you pick it? Did they give you permission?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.

“En!” Su Ergou nodded his head, “I went to pick it only after the young nuns agreed, I promised to share some with them!”

Several young nuns in their early teens were hiding behind the door, quietly glancing towards them. Compared to their mature and steady senior sisters, they were still very young and inexperienced, courageous and shy at the same time.

This might sound contradictory, but it was really their state.

They didn’t dare to talk to Su Ergou much, and yet they were bold enough to secretly ask Su Ergou to help them pick fruits.

They wanted to hide snacks from their senior sisters.

Su Ergou shared half of the fruits with them, and they ran away without a trace while holding the fruits in their arms.

“Wash it first before you eat it.” Su Xiaoxiao said.

“Oh.” Su Ergou went into the front yard of the nunnery and found a water vat to wash the handkerchief and fruits.

Su Xiaoxiao said lightly, “Wash them separately, don’t use your sweaty handkerchief to wipe the fruits!”

Su Ergou’s hand shook and the fruit fell into the water vat.

He turned his head to look at his older sister, and thought to himself, ‘does my older sister have eyes on the back of her head? How did she even know this little trick of mine?’

Su Xiaoxiao counted the silver notes again in front of Shopkeeper Sun.

It was very slow, one by one, so carelessly, giving off the air of an arrogant young master.

“Did you see it clearly?” She hooked her lips, “How many?”

“Five, five notes.” Shopkeeper Sun swallowed his saliva. Because there was too much money, he didn’t bother with the little girl’s sudden arrogance.

“Where did it come from?” He asked.

Su Xiaoxiao tugged and said, “Oh, it’s just… when you guys weren’t there, I just made a simple business deal.”

Shopkeeper Sun: “……”

After Governor Li went down the mountain, the steward personally picked up a stool and helped him onto the carriage.

His expression was very ugly, even worse than when he was at the Wang family.

The steward witnessed the entire process, and he was also extremely angry.

“That girl is too much! First, she injured the young master, and now she also came to blackmail your money…… Didn’t Lord Qi say that he arrested her and sent her back to her county government? Could it be a lie?”

Governor Li sat in the carriage, his face ashen.

The steward made a sword gesture with hand, “My lord! How about later…… finding someone to finish her up!”

Governor Li gave him a resentful glare and said, “You only know how to kill people! Did you not see where she came out from just now?”

From…… from Abbess Huijue’s meditation room.

The steward’s eyebrows twitched!

The steward exclaimed in shock, “My lord! She is just a girl from town, why would she know Abbess Huijue?”

Governor Li said angrily, “If you ask me, then whom should I ask?”

He was so unlucky today. He had lost so much face in the Wang family, and when he came to the nunnery, he also failed to meet Abbess Huijue.”

It was normal to not be able to meet her, after all, he had visited so many times and never succeeded.

But this time was different.

Someone else had entered!

This meant that Abbess Huijue was meeting a pilgrim!

“Go investigate that girl!”

“Yes, my lord!”
