Chapter 302 - 301: Conscience? She Doesn’t Have One!
Pushan Temple, though just a convent, held quite a reputation. The nuns there, mostly women disenchanted with life, led virtuous lives. The temple master was a female doctor and tended to the illnesses of other women, along with her two apprentices. She was highly respected, as there were ailments women found difficult to speak of, and a female doctor was preferable for such consultations. Thus, the temple was well-renowned and well-regarded.
Across from Pushan Temple, atop another hill, was a grove of pear trees, with a few manors dotting the hill’s base, one of which was occupied by the Xiao Family.
Qin Liuxi chose a spot on this very hill, with good feng shui, to bury Fusheng’s remains and personally carved a tombstone for him. In doing so, Fusheng’s grave faced Pushan Temple, mutually overlooking each other from afar.
Xiao Qinghan deeply bowed to Qin Liuxi as a sign of heartfelt thanks, understanding the significance of this gesture.
Qin Liuxi said, "Life is a long journey. How you choose to walk it must align with your own heart. Sometimes regret and remorse will not ease your burden. If you wish to atone, consider performing good deeds in her name—that way she too may accrue merit. Should she descend to the Underworld, then her good and bad deeds may balance out. After all, while she dwelled within you, a servant was frightened to death, and that too is her karmic debt."
Xiao Qinghan was taken aback.
Qin Liuxi continued softly, "Furthermore, broadening your horizon allows your heart to open and release its grip on a single person or event. When we meet again in the future, we can both have peace of mind."
Xiao Qinghan pondered this.
Qin Liuxi then turned and began to descend the hill.
Her task was complete, and as for Fusheng?
