Sister Sun’s words eased Stephen Thompson’s concerns, so he asked her, “In your opinion, how should I contact Miss willson and exin everything to her?”
Sister Sun replied, “Jingqing will be at Qixia Temple the morning after tomorrow. Madam’s n is to find a way to bring Miss willson to the temple, and then have Jingqing create a safe opportunity for the two of you to talk.”
“Jingqing…” Stephen Thompson smiled and asked, “He’s now a renowned monk, isn’t he?”
“Yes,” Sister Sun nodded and sighed. “Jingqing is wise—both in cultivating Taoism and studying Buddhism. Under Madam’s guidance, he’s progressed rapidly. Though he became a monk, he still follows Madam’s lead.”
Stephen Thompson asked again, “Then how do we get Miss willson toe to Qixia Temple?”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Sister Sun smiled and said, “You know she owns a designpany, don’t you?”
“Of course,” Stephen Thompson nodded. “It was the young master who encouraged her to start her own studio. At the opening, many prominent figures in Aurous Hill came to offer their congrattions.”
“Exactly,” Sister Sun said. “There’s a girl in herpany that we arranged to ce there. She’spetent and has already earned Miss willson’s trust. Tomorrow morning, she’ll find a chance to mention the temple. I believe that will persuade Miss willson to go.”
Stephen Thompson was so stunned that he remained silent for a long time. He never imagined that although his wife stayed out of the public eye, she had influence everywhere.
After a while, he asked, “Sister Sun, I hope you’ll forgive me for asking something I probably shouldn’t. Besides me, is there anyone else Madam has ced around the young master?”
Sister Sun looked at him and smiled. “You know you shouldn’t ask, yet you still do.”
Then, after a pause, she added, “Madam never wanted to interfere with the young master’s development. There’s no one else besides you. In fact, she’s always regretted that. If she had intervened in the Willson family matters, perhaps the young master wouldn’t have married Miss willson.”
Stephen Thompson couldn’t help but sigh. “It seems Madam truly holds something against Miss willson…”
Sister Sun smiled and replied, “How should I put it? She does have some grievances, but they’re mainly aimed at Miss willson’s parents, not Miss willson herself. Back when the young master and the Willson family were still living in the oldmunity, Madam was well aware of how difficult his life was. The people living downstairs were ced there by Madam to observe. ine and Jacob constantly ordered the young master around, mocked him, and verbally abused him every day. How could Madam not feel heartbroken?”
“That’s true,” Stephen Thompson said with a smile. “Sometimes, I really wanted to teach ine a lesson myself.”
Sister Sun nodded and chuckled. “Well, ine did suffer quite a bitter on—that could be considered her lesson. That whole family, regardless of who’s right or wrong, is just too much of a burden on the young master. If they were gone, he could finally let go. I’ll leave the rest to you.”
Stephen Thompson sped his fists respectfully and said with determination, “Don’t worry, Sister Sun. I’ll give it my all!”
