Chapter 362: Taking Advantage_1

Lian Chuchu escaped from the temple on the second night of her stay, taking advantage of the moment when the servants were fast asleep. She made her way down the mountain, hiding as she went.

Although she had rarely left her own home and was born into an official's family, she was not really a privileged daughter. Often working on embroidery, she sometimes took on private jobs and had the servants sell them for her, and she was keen to listen to the servants discuss various affairs of the common folk. Moreover, holding the belief that it was better to die trying to escape than to be killed outright, which would only please that wicked woman, she managed to run down the mountain and evade capture by the Lian family.

Three days later, when she was about to faint from hunger, she encountered a woman she had seen at the temple. The woman had been praying to the Bodhisattva for a child and offering incense in the temple.
