Chapter 5229: 5.0981 Settle Down
"You're yelling at me now? You're yelling at me?! Now I can't go back! My prime years will be spent in this broken nunnery, and it's all your doing!"
"Originally, if we just waited quietly, maybe in another half month, the Earl's residence would send a carriage to pick me up. It was you! You insisted on sneaking back now, insisted on making that bitch save face for me, sending me back to the Earl's residence to curb the First Madam's arrogance."
"And what was the result? Our faces were slapped hard onto the ground!"
Madam Xiao Bao was so angry she nearly vomited blood and died. She glared at her daughter and roared, "Enough! Who was I doing this for?! You're still blaming me? You're blaming me??"
Fang Mingyue was startled by her mother's reddened eyes. She quickly shrank back, crying out with a frustrated expression, "I don't want to blame you, it's just that you... you just thought it was too perfect and too simple. And the result was the opposite of what we wanted!"
"Thump, thump, thump."
"Thump, thump, thump!"
The nunnery room door was heavily pounded twice. Seeing no one come to open it, one of the stout nuns kicked the door open with a "bang."
"What's all this noise about??" The stout nun yelled, raised her large, fan-like hand, and slapped the incessantly wailing Fang Mingyue across the face.
Fang Mingyue was stunned. Caught off guard, she was knocked onto the hard bed board, almost twisting her nose.
Madam Xiao Bao shrieked and jumped up, looking like she wanted to fight the stout nun to the death.
However, her amateurish skills were no match for the stout nun. She was immediately swatted flying to the side of the cabinet by the nun's large, fan-like palm.
With a "thud," her head hit the cabinet door, instantly leaving a bloody mark.
Madam Xiao Bao screamed in terror.
Fang Mingyue also grew furious, throwing a fireball backward, trying to attack the stout nun.
However, although the nun was large, her movements were incredibly agile.
After everyone moved to the side of the door, she swiftly unleashed a wave of spiritual energy, deflecting Fang Mingyue's attack.
Fang Mingyue was furious to the point of madness, yet she was utterly powerless against her opponent due to the other's superior martial prowess.
The stout nun swiftly moved forward, grabbing Fang Mingyue's elbow and forcefully pinning her down onto the wooden bed.
With her other hand, she quickly wiped something under Fang Mingyue's nose.
Fang Mingyue couldn't hide her terrified expression. She immediately sprang up from the bed board, pointing at the stout nun and yelling, "You, you, you, what, what did you make me inhale?"
"Miss Mingyue and Second Madam, you two will stay in Ciyun Nunnery and cultivate with your hair this period," the stout nun looked at the two coldly, shaking her head with an indifferent expression.
She put away the medicine bottle in her sleeve and gave a look to the nun beside her.
That person also quickly stepped forward, grabbed the Second Madam's collar, and made her sniff the contents of the small medicine bottle.
This was a good item sent by Eldest Miss Fang; she said it was harmless to the body, it would just make these two mother and daughter cause less trouble and be quieter for a while.
"You!" Fang Mingyue still wanted to shout, but suddenly felt her throat become very dry.
She coughed twice consecutively, then surprisingly noticed that she couldn't even make a sound.
How could this be?
Fang Mingyue's eyes widened in horror. She looked back at Madam Xiao Bao, the Second Madam, who had a similarly bewildered and uncertain expression.
Madam Xiao Bao was holding her forehead with one hand. Now, discovering she couldn't speak either, she repeatedly gestured to her daughter.
The mother and daughter gestured wildly for a long time, their faces growing increasingly terrified.
