The Empress's Transmigration into a Magnate's Wife

Chapter 195

Rong Dai had no choice but to go with him to the pavilion.

Because of Yang Wanwan's story, she was deeply moved and willing to let go of the past.

She had opened up to him about those things last night.

She thought he would be scared or at least feel somewhat difficult to accept.

But she didn't expect this man to be extremely gentle and considerate.

He not only accepted her but also understood her and was even more concerned about her troubles than she was.

The couple walked up to White Beard Master and politely greeted him.

"Esteemed donors, please sit down. This poor monk has been waiting here for a long time," White Beard Master opened his eyes and gestured for them to sit down.

Rong Dai was not surprised by this kind of thing. Even an ancient empress like her could be reborn in this modern world, so it was understandable that there would be one or two ascended masters in this world.

"Esteemed lady donor, you have come a few months earlier than this poor monk divined. It seems you have let go. The donor is fortunate," the old monk spoke gently, but his words made the couple very shocked.

"Master, what do you mean by that? Does it mean something will happen to my wife?" Hearing the master's words, Huo Shao Ting's expression immediately turned cold and he asked with a frown.

Ever since he learned of her identity, what he worried about most every day was that one day she would open her eyes and no longer be herself.

This kind of fear that penetrated to the depths of his soul, even when Huoshi Enterprise was on the verge of bankruptcy, he had never felt so anxious and terrified before.

He knew very clearly that he could not lose Rong Dai.

He needed her very much.

Rong Dai was clever too, of course she understood the implications behind the old monk's words.

Her mood was the same as Huo Shao Ting's, she was also very terrified that one day she would wake up and with the blink of an eye, she would be back in that cold palace.

That palace was the dreamland of her previous life.

Here, she also had her own new guardian.

But if this really happened, she understood very well that neither she nor Huo Shao Ting could reverse it.

Even the advanced science of this modern world could not yet unravel this kind of thing.

If she really went back to her previous life, she could not imagine how she would spend the rest of her life,

or what Huo Shao Ting would become.

The couple held each other's hands tightly, fully understanding each other's feelings.

A benevolent smile appeared on the old monk's face, his gaze falling on Rong Dai, "To stay or leave, that was up to you in the first place."

"The fact that you two have come together means, esteemed lady donor, that you have let go. The past cannot be pursued, only cherishing leads to no regret."

The old monk spoke cryptically. The couple found it somewhat confusing.

"Please enlighten us, Master," Rong Dai said. Although she understood the general meaning behind the master's words, she felt relieved in her heart.

But she still felt that the master had more to say.

"There is cause and effect, karma of past lives and affinity in this life. Buddhism emphasizes cause and effect, but this poor monk believes everything comes at a price," the old monk said slowly.

"Although the donor has let go, the karma has still not been fully repaid. You may lose some precious things as compensation."

"This rope of blessings was prepared by this poor monk for the lady donor. Whether it can resolve this karma depends on your fortunes," the old monk finished speaking and closed his eyes again as if sleeping.

Huo Shao Ting wanted to ask more but Rong Dai gently shook her head at him.

She picked up an ordinary looking braided rope of blessing that the master had placed on the stone table. She slightly bowed her head in thanks, "Thank you for your guidance, Master."

In her previous life, her mother was a devout Buddhist. She went to the temple to worship every month. Rong Dai had also seen some attained high monks, or great masters as the commoners called them.

Although there were also some charlatan old frauds, these attained masters generally did not say much, just pointing the way, leaving the rest for the other party to comprehend themselves.

After all, according to some folk stories, these attained masters guided sentient beings, but it also came at a price.

Saying too much would be divulging heavenly secrets, which would incur heavenly punishment.

When she was still a young maiden, she did not believe in these things.

But later she had no choice but to believe, as she prayed to Buddha, seeking forgiveness.

In this modern world, probably no young girl would believe in these things like she did, but she had experienced all kinds of things in her previous life. Some things had already penetrated deeply into her soul.

"Shao Ting, let's go," Rong Dai held his hand.

Since she didn't know what price the master was talking about, as long as she wouldn't go back to that cold palace, as long as she could be with Huo Shao Ting.

She thought she could bravely face it all.

Huo Shao Ting was also afraid she would overthink things. He nodded and held her hand as they left the temple together.

"Let's go eat first, we'll go back early tomorrow morning."

Huo Shao Ting took her to a restaurant for a meal. Seeing that she was still lost in thought, he reached out and pulled her into his embrace. "I'm here no matter what. Whatever the price, I'm by your side, facing it together with you."

Rong Dai leaned against his chest, looking up at him with a faint smile, "Okay."

He loved and cared for her so seriously and gently, how could she bear to disappoint him?

Seeing her in his arms like this, Huo Shao Ting looked at her with such gentle eyes they seemed to be dripping water. He couldn't help but lower his head to kiss her lips.

Rong Dai's ears instantly turned red. She glared at him indignantly and struggled out of his embrace.

"Weren't we going to eat?"

This guy would be intimate at the slightest opportunity.

At home it was fine since it was just the two of them and no one could see.

She was also gradually accepting his way of expressing himself.

But they were in a restaurant right now!

Seeing her shy annoyance, Huo Shao Ting looked at her with eyes so gentle they seemed they could squeeze water out. Words of love flowed naturally from his lips, "My wife is the most delicious."

Rong Dai: "..."

Her cheeks flushed hotly. She could only pretend not to hear.

Huo Shao Ting didn't want to tease her and make her hungry. They ate their meal peacefully and quietly. Then he drove and took her to see the snow scenery of West Lake.

"So many people..." Seeing the crowded flow of people on the broken bridge, a black mass, Rong Dai was a little dumbfounded.

She had seen the snow scenery of West Lake in her previous life, but it was far less beautiful than the pictures shown on computers in this modern world.

Seeing so many people on the broken bridge, Rong Dai wanted to leave.

Although she liked liveliness, that was limited to at home. It was different outside.

Huo Shao Ting also didn't expect so many people at West Lake, even in winter.

Coming here was really a mistake.

"Let's go drink tea instead. There's still plenty of time. I want to go shopping, buy some embroidery cloth. Suzhou silks are unmatched. I have time now so it's perfect."

Rong Dai looked at him brightly, not needing to pretend in front of him.

"Okay."

Huo Shao Ting stroked her head, gazing at her indulgently and gently.
