Da Furen nodded, solemnly looking at Li Wei Yang.
Li Wei Yang’s lips had frozen into a cold smile, a genuine one from the bottom of her heart.
Lin mama urgently asked: “The rooms have all been burnt down, what will we do tonight?”
The abbot pondered over it for a moment before saying: “There is a small courtyard behind this, it is small and humble, I fear Furen and Xiaojies will feel wronged.”
Da Furen shook her head: “No one wanted this to happen. Having a place to stay is already more than enough, otherwise, everyone would have to go down from the mountain in the middle of the night. However, quite a few Yatous are injured, I hope Abbot will quickly invite a physician.”
“There is a physician in the temple. I have already sent word to him. Li Furen, please rest assured.” The abbot clasped his hands, glanced over the remains of the courtyard and sighed.
However, when arrangements were made, there was a pressing issue.
“What? Now three people must share a room?” Li Chang Xi stuttered.
“Yes, Furen and Da Xiaojie are in one room, and Si Yiniang and Jiu Yiniang are in another, Wu Xiaojie, Si Xiaojie and San Xiaojie can at least try to spend the night in a room.” Lin mama coldly smiled as she said so.
“How can this be, I don’t want to be in the same room as her! Absolutely not!” Li Chang Xi could not forget her pain as she angrily protested.
Lin mama had foreseen this situation and persuaded her: “Wu Xiaojie, this happened unexpectedly, no one can be blamed, Furen is already exhausted, Xiaojie, please do not cause more trouble.”
Of course Li Chang Xi did not want to raise more trouble, but even so, she refused to stay in the same room as Li Wei Yang.
Moreover, that room was small and cramped. Two people were already enough, how could there be a third person?!.
Li Wei Yang coldly looked at one as if none of it had anything to do with her.
Si Yiniang lowered her voice, coaxing Li Chang Xi, but she would not listen. Li Chang Xiao looked to Li Wei Yang with an unspoken apology.
Wasn’t that implying that San Xiaojie would be left without a place to stay? Lin mama was rather conflicted: “Si Yiniang, what do you think?”
What can still be done now? Li Chang Xi, that Yatou had been provoked, she would not even listen to her birth mother.
In a moment, unrest began to stir amongst everyone.
Jiu Yiniang suddenly spoke up: “How about this, Si Yiniang can stay with the two Xiaojies, I fear San Xiaojie will have to suffer and stay in the same room with me.”
“This ---” Lin mama looked at Li Wei Yang.
Bai Zhi blurted out: “How can that be? Who heard of a Xiaojie sharing a room with a Yiniang?”
“Bai Zhi guniang, keep in mind that Yiniangs cannot share a room with Da Furen.” Lin mama reminded her.
