Chapter 235 - 235: 113 Repentance (First Watch of the Night)

Her bedside alarm clock shows exactly 5:00 AM.

Ming Jing’s biological clock is very punctual. When she was in the nunnery, she would wake up at 4:30 AM to do her morning classes, and had never missed a single day in more than ten years.

After returning to the Zhus, she adjusted it to 5:00 AM to adapt to the secular life.

All of her fellow female disciples have returned to secular life as well, and were still sleeping at the moment.

However, she once vowed in front of her Master to not be attached to worldly affairs and continue to practice asceticism in this life.

After finishing her morning routine, Ming Jing briefly checked her phone.

There was a WeChat friend request.

I am Qu Feitai.

Five simple and straightforward words.

The profile picture was a very cute cartoon character, looking cool and adorable, just like a mini version of Qu Feitai.

Ming Jing casually accepted the request and placed her phone aside. Sitting cross-legged on the floor, she began her morning class.

Regarding morning and evening classes, Buddha once mentioned in his scriptures, ‘You monks should diligently practice the Dharma during the day and not let time pass in vain. In the early and late night, there should be no waste as well.”

“Recite sutras in the middle of the night to calm yourselves.”

“Do not let sleep be the reason for an empty life, without gaining anything!”

“Fear the suffering of the three paths, the eight difficulties, and the four kindnesses; be grateful for the three worlds.”

Follow the text, visualize, and recite the teachings in your mind.

As time silently passed, Ming Jing opened her eyes, feeling her six senses clearing and her three karmas in harmony.

Finishing her morning classes, Ming Jing did a set of math exercises. The morning is the best time for memory, and Ming Jing usually takes advantage of this time to recite or practice.

At exactly 7:00 AM, Ming Jing went downstairs for breakfast.

Lin Qing was still asleep, as she rarely got up early in the morning. Being a wealthy woman, this had become her habit.

Granny Zhu had already eaten her breakfast early and went out for a walk.

Ming Chen, Ming Ti, and the young Ming all had strong biological clocks and didn’t have the habit of oversleeping, thus they basically accompanied Ming Jing for breakfast every morning.

Laziness is a big taboo for a practitioner, and their Master wouldn’t tolerate it just because they were young. Instead, she kept them on a tighter leash and believed that good habits would benefit them for a lifetime.

Fortunately, the three children were innately pure and good, so they didn’t complain. Even the most pampered Ming Chen managed to persist silently.

Now, even if you let them sleep in, they wouldn’t be able to.

Madam Zhou came over to Ming Jing, “Miss, I didn’t have a chance to tell you when you got back late last night. Zhu Xiangxiang didn’t come home last night, and nobody answered her phone. Did something happen to her?”

Although Zhu Xiancxiang crew more and more annoving as she crew uD. she was still the child Madam Zhou watched over and raised. If something really happened to her, Madam Zhou would feel uneasy. Ming Jing said indifferently, “She’s in the hospital.”

“Ah?” Madam Zhou was startled.

“Is Xiangxiang sick?”

Although worried, Madam Zhou looked at Ming Jing’s calm face and knew there was no big problem, so she sighed in relief.

“I made some soup to bring to her. I’ll go to the hospital to look after her, Miss, is that alright?”

Madam Zhou was afraid that Ming Jing would be displeased, but she worried too much.

Ming Jing nodded, “Okay, after breakfast, I’ll go with you.”

Madam Zhou thought to herself that the young miss is full of compassion, the kindest person ever. She shouldn’t have doubted the young miss.

On the other hand, Zhu Xiangxiang was the one with a small mind, always jealous of the young miss. The young miss had never held a grudge against her and always repaid her hostility with kindness.

This time, while taking care of Zhu Xiangxiang at the hospital, she would definitely take the opportunity to teach her a lesson.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to stay in the Zhu family any longer.

Madam Zhou returned to the kitchen to prepare the soup.

Ming Chen and Ming Ti exchanged glances.

Zhu Xiangxiang was in the hospital? How curious.

Ming Ti wanted to say “serves her right,” but Ming Jing probably wouldn’t like her talking like that, so she held her words back.

Zhu Xiangxiang was awakened by pain at three in the morning.

Is this the underworld?

Zhu Xiangxiang couldn’t help but cry, thinking about her life being a joke and feeling great sorrow.

The duty nurse was attracted by her crying and thought her wound was hurting again. She then gave her a painkilling injection. The painkiller had a sedative and hypnotic effect, and soon Zhu Xiangxiang fell asleep again.

When she woke up again, it was already 8:00 AM.

She stared blankly at the ceiling, and scenes from last night flashed through her mind.

Is Zhu Ming Jing dead?

She didn’t know why, but she should have been happy if Zhu Ming Jing was dead. It would have been a long-awaited moment for her.

But now, she couldn’t feel happy at all.

She admitted that she was jealous of Zhu Ming Jing, jealous that she was the true daughter of the Zhu family and could unconditionally receive her mother and grandmother’s love.

She was jealous of her stunning appearance and temperament, and the achievements she could earn with almost no effort..
