Chapter 1285 - 402: Omen, The Death of Master Du Jie_3
Having bid farewell to my parents and sisters, along with the four maids we had purchased who also left with them, the house seemed to have emptied by half. Mo Yan initially felt somewhat uncomfortable, but as household matters increased, she gradually stopped missing her two sisters.
One day, while Mo Yan was checking recent expenditures, Yuan Yue knocked and came in, saying, "Miss, there’s a master at the gate claiming to be from Bao Hua Temple. He says he has important matters to discuss with you. Would you like to meet with him?"
"Bao Hua Temple?" Mo Yan set down her pen, slightly puzzled. "Please invite him into the main hall, and I’ll be there shortly."
"Yes!" Yuan Yue replied and turned to leave.
Mo Yan stood up and, after making sure her attire was proper, she headed to the main hall and asked another maid, Er Mei, to serve tea and refreshments.
Soon, Yuan Yue led in a monk dressed in grey monk’s robes. The monk appeared to be no younger than in his forties.
Upon entering, he pressed his palms together in a greeting to Mo Yan and then took a small wooden box from the small bundle he was carrying.
The appearance and material of the small wooden box were very similar to the one Master Du Jie had given Mo Yan that day. Seeing this box, Mo Yan’s eyelid twitched violently, and a bad premonition suddenly rose within her.
Indeed, what the middle-aged monk said next confirmed Mo Yan’s suspicion!
"Benefactor Mo, the Great Master Uncle has recently passed away. Following the Great Master Uncle’s last wishes, my teacher has sent me to deliver this item to Benefactor Mo," said the middle-aged monk, struggling to hold back the tears in his eyes as he placed the small wooden box on the table.
