Having transmigrated into a book, who would still want to be a secondary wife?

Chapter 775 I ruined everything!

The events that followed in Mingyue Village were easy to investigate, and the Dali Temple quickly uncovered the truth.

The nun Jingyin was very cooperative and told the whole story.

Back then, after her child's accident, Abbess Jingchen jumped into the river in despair, but was eventually saved by the abbess of Tianci Nunnery. She was determined to die, but after learning that she could help her child's soul find peace, hope was rekindled in her heart.

When Abbess Jingyin attempted suicide, she was saved by Abbess Jingchen. Since they were from the same village, they naturally knew each other's situation very well.

Seeing that Master Jingchen prayed for the child all day long, Master Jingyin also wanted to pray for Xinxin and wanted to atone for her sins.

They had also tried to announce the matter of Mingyue Village to the world, secretly spreading the news in the hope that it would change everything once it reached the government.

Unfortunately, the government did nothing. When they first learned of the news, they did go to Mingyue Village to investigate, but the villagers of Mingyue Village were exceptionally united and kept silent about the matter, thus fooling the government officials.

Besides, they had considered threatening the village chief, but after careful consideration, they realized that this was simply not feasible.

As for releasing the women and children in the village, that's impossible. They couldn't even leave with the children back then, and now they're just two nuns, what can they do?

All they could do was bring the remains back and perform a ritual to help them pass on to the afterlife.

Ultimately, it's because they're useless.

After learning the whole story, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review couldn't help but sigh, "I never expected it to end like this."

"The women and children in the entire Mingyue Village are pitiful, but some of the women think the same way as the men, treating children as an opportunity to make money."

"Now that the case is closed, we can go back."

Song Ruozhen glanced at the nun Jingyin beside her. Because she had killed someone, she would also be imprisoned when she returned, but she was very calm.

Everyone present could sense that Shizune was about to be taken away, yet she seemed happier than usual.

“Master Jingyin, haven’t you ever thought about who discovered your buried remains and spread the news?” Song Ruozhen asked.

Master Jingyin and Master Jingchen were very careful in doing this, and in theory they shouldn't have been discovered, but they were still caught in the end.

Master Jingyun, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but say, "It's because of the continuous rain that the soil has been washed away, which is why it's exposed."

Master Jingyin hadn't thought about it much at first, only that she and Jingchen were just unlucky. But after Song Ruozhen reminded her, she seemed to suddenly realize something.

She turned to look at Abbess Jingyun beside her, her eyes filled with confusion, "Why?"

Chu Junting, Prince Xiao, and others naturally knew the inside story, and it was Abbess Jingyun who spread the news.

However, based on what we've learned over this period, everyone says that Abbess Jingyun has a good relationship with them, but we never expected that she was the one who was secretly complaining about them.

“Jingyin, it wasn’t me,” Jingyun couldn’t help but explain.

However, Master Jingyin gave Master Jingyun a deep look, without any intention of blaming her.

"Although I don't understand why you did this, it is because of you that I have the opportunity to see my daughter again."

I have no desires now; even if I were beheaded, it would be my just deserts.

Instead of complaining, she was very grateful. Now she has found true peace in her heart, instead of being constantly anxious and uneasy as before.

Master Jingyun's expression was complicated. After hesitating for a moment, she sighed deeply and said, "I'm sorry."

"I didn't know you had suffered so much. I was just too shocked to see these remains..."

Abbess Jingyun looked guilty. She had actually arrived at Tianci Nunnery earlier than Jingchen and Jingyin, but the abbess had handed it over to Jingchen.

She had always felt unhappy about this, unable to understand what she was lacking compared to them.

Especially after Jingyin arrived, Jingchen and she became even closer. The two of them would always talk about something in secret, never telling her anything.

Jingchen's health had always been poor, and she had originally thought that Tianci Nunnery would eventually be handed over to her, especially now that Tianci Nunnery was becoming more and more popular.

The appearance of silence left her with no hope. It was only because of the continuous heavy rain for several days that she discovered the bones buried in the mud, which led her to think of sending the news out...

However, now that she knows the pain that Jingchen and Jingyin have endured, she only feels guilty and heartbroken, and can't help but regret it.

She is the one who harmed Jingchen and Jingyun.

"I'm sorry, I've let you down," said Abbess Jingyun.

Master Jingyin understood. "You don't need to apologize to us. Anyone would report to the authorities immediately upon seeing so many corpses."

Actually, from the very beginning, we knew that one day people would find out about it, and Jingchen's suicide was something she had thought about for a long time.

For so many years, she had been forcing herself to stay strong, but her heart was filled with unbearable pain; every day was torture. Suicide would have been a release for her.

She recalled talking with Jingchen before, and how she had contemplated suicide more than once, but she had kept going because of her master's instructions. However, she was just too tired.

Even though she stayed at Tianci Nunnery all day, trying to escape the secular world, the torment in her heart was eating her away day by day. Whenever she thought of her child, she felt unbearable pain.

Jingchen's parents were also from Mingyue Village. It was precisely because her parents were involved and tried to stop her from saving the child that she felt even more desperate.

"Actually, I know in my heart that a large part of the reason she has been holding on is because of me."

She was worried that after she left, I would follow her. As for Tianci Nunnery, she originally intended to leave it to you.

Upon hearing these words, Abbess Jingyun felt as if her heart had been struck hard, and the image of Jingchen and Jingyin's kindness to her flashed through her mind.

She noticed that they always whispered to each other and immediately fell silent when they saw her, so she assumed they were ostracizing her. Little did she know that they simply didn't want to tell her about their hidden pain.

And yet, in such times, she gradually developed malicious thoughts.

"It was me, I ruined all of this!"

Master Jingyun's eyes were red, and she couldn't help but cover her face, feeling an indescribable regret in her heart.

If it weren't for her despicable intentions in spreading the news, things might not have turned out this way.

“I am so wicked, I am unworthy.”

Jingyin patted Jingyun and said, "Actually, you didn't do anything wrong. With so many corpses, anyone would have reported it to the authorities."
