Chapter 711 - 346: Monks Can’t Marry Wives_2
Lady Wu also scolded Qian Manxia, "You’re a mother of several children, yet you speak without thinking. What if your son-in-law misunderstands?"
Qian Manxia quickly replied with a smile, "I was just saying she’s been close with General Liang since childhood. I didn’t say anything wrong. Could it be that General Liang took a liking to Yixiu back then, which is why he often sent gifts to both Yixiu and our family?"
Hearing this, Jingjing immediately asked Pan Yue, "Mother, Brother Hongji also often sends gifts to Jingjing and our family. Does that mean he has taken a liking to Jingjing too?"
Her words made everyone at the table laugh. Lady Wu replied with a teasing scold, "Silly girl, Brother Hongji is a monk; he cannot take a wife." Only a few people like Zhu Sujin, Pan Yue, and Qian Yixiu know about the little monk’s secularization at the age of twenty.
"Oh," Jingjing pouted, looking disappointed.
The laughter grew even louder among the group.
Seeing Pan Yue’s eyes light up, Yixiu was about to say something but held back, as if she thought of some unspeakable secret, grinning with her mouth pursed... Yixiu also laughed, thinking that if it really could be so, nothing would be better.
The little monk at the other table did not know why they were laughing and turned to ask, "What’s so funny?"
Mingming spoke loudly, "Grandma said you’re a monk and can’t have a wife."
