Chapter 125 - 124 - Confession
This world also counted time according to the history of the previous life, with a big month having thirty days and a small month having twenty-nine days. October belonged to a small month, having only twenty-nine days, this day would typically be the time off for the Yamen or schools.
Chu Lingxuan had sent a message in advance saying that he had matters to attend to and wouldn’t be able to return on his day off.
On the twenty-ninth day, Chu Lingxuan did not return, but Abbot Liao Chen did.
When afternoon classes were over, and Chen Afu was crouching down to praise Chu Hanyan, Liao Chen walked over, crouched down next to them, and said, "Yan’er, you have learned to... recite poetry. That’s wonderful," she said, trying to hold back her tears of joy.
Chu Hanyan remembered Liao Chen and slowly said, "Auntie, swallows, wearing... clothes."
Although Liao Chen’s beauty had faded with age, it was evident she must have been a stunning beauty in her youth. With her gentle and quiet manners, she was extraordinarily attractive. Indeed, it’s a pity that she had chosen the life of a nun, her hair shorn to signify her religious devotion.
After speaking a few words to Chu Hanyan, Liao Chen stood up and thanked Chen Afu, "Amitabha Buddha, thank you, Chen, for bringing joy into Yan’er’s life and teaching her how to interact with others."
Chen Afu blinked back, "You’re too kind, Abbot. I really like Yan. I hope she can be happy and come out of her own world."
