Chapter 28: Phoenix Eye Bodhi

  Here is the translation:

  A resolute attitude, a tone of indignation. When Zhao saw her own Seventh Girl suddenly become strong, she should have been happy for her, but somehow, when she saw the calculating glint in Seventh Girl's clear eyes, her heart was filled with sourness - others might not know, but as Wang Qifang's most intimate wet nurse, how could she not know? What could make the normally weak and uncompetitive Seventh Girl suddenly mature, unless she had suffered great injustice and mistreatment?

  "Alright, alright, I'll listen to you!"

  Thinking of Qiuniang being left alone in the desolate farmhouse, injured and without even a soul to serve her tea or water, let alone receive basic medical treatment. Alas, previously, in order to lift Qiuniang's spirits, she was advised and consoled every day, but Qiuniang still remained indifferent. Now that Qiuniang has gone through many hardships and finally become strong, how could she lag behind?

  Not to mention buying a farm, even if Qiuniang really didn't want to return to the Zhao family, she would think of ways to help Qiuniang hide!

  "Auntie, don't worry, I'm fine," Wang Qifang said with a warm heart when she saw the concern on Old Auntie's face. She knew that her transformation had caused Zhao Auntie to misunderstand something, but she couldn't explain it, so she could only comfort her in a soft voice: "After going through so much, you were right, Auntie - good people are often bullied and kind horses are often ridden. Because of my excessive weakness, I've suffered so much; how can I let Xiao Yan follow in my footsteps?!"

  "Besides, I am Zhao's second wife, and Xiaoyu is the legitimate eldest daughter. How can we give away what belongs to us? In the past, I thought that as long as I didn't provoke anyone, I could avoid trouble. But my status is here, even if I don't fight for it, just quietly staying on the sidelines will still affect others and bring unnecessary disaster. Nanny, rather than waiting for death, it's better to make a desperate struggle. So, I've made up my mind: I must return to the Zhao family. The most noble daughter of the Zhao family should be Xiaoyu, and the heir of the Zhao family should be the baby in my belly!"

  Wang Qifang's words were not an excuse thought up by Zhao to comfort her, but rather her true thoughts. In fact, whether it was Wang Yiru in her past life or Wang Qifang now, when faced with external enemies invading, they both adopted the method of avoiding and yielding, neither contending nor competing, staying far away from disputes and relying on their own abilities to make a living.

  But reality tells them that whether in modern or ancient times, it is an era of the strong preying on the weak. One's concession cannot solve any problem and will only lead to more harm - the futile death of past lives and the abandonment of this life are all bloody lessons.

  If King Yi's parents had fought for their rights when they divorced, Wang Liyuan would not have held such great power and she and her mother would not be in such a humble situation, and she would not have lost her life because of a heart.

  Wang Qifang's true self is even more so, since half of her consciousness awakened in Wang Qifang, a strong sense of resentment and hatred has filled Wang Qifang's mind, making her deeply empathize with some past experiences, and even feel inexplicable fear - she wants to take control of her own destiny, never to be a fish on the chopping board, slaughtered at will!

  So Wang Qifang really made up her mind this time, she absolutely wouldn't back down, what was hers would definitely be taken back. Of course, as for whether or not to keep it after taking it back, that's a whole different story.

  "Alright, grandma understands, all grandmas understand!"

  Woo woo, madam, have you seen? Qī Niáng has finally "grown up"!

  Aunt Zhao wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes with her sleeve and said firmly, "Seventh Girl, don't worry, I'll support whatever you want to do. Come on, let's go eat first, after we finish eating, I'll go find a matchmaker, buy a house, and buy servants!"

  "Ah!"

  Wang Qifang nodded vigorously, it's good, compared to the lonely previous life, in this life she still has a relative who can compare to her mother by her side.

  Although Zhao's aunt was advanced in years, she was a man of action. After hastily finishing her breakfast and settling Wang Qifang, she rushed out of the village house.

  Wang Qifang saw her mother off at the door and didn't turn back into the house until her figure had faded into the distance.

  As she picked up the jewelry box left by her birth mother, Wang Qifang always felt that she had forgotten something.

  "Is it for saving one's life? And yet it is also a must-have dowry for daughters?"

  Wang Qifang's fingers lightly touched the mechanism, and with a "click", the box opened again, revealing a full load of pearls and jewels. Looking at the sparkling treasure in front of her, she couldn't help but think of what Zhao Ayi had said. Suddenly, an idea struck her, and she quickly closed the door, rushed into the small room, and poured all the pearls from the box onto the sofa.

  Then she carefully looked at the jewelry box up and down, left and right, occasionally lightly tapping on the walls of the box to verify her suspicion.

  Not long after, when her fingers were searching inside the box at the bottom, she finally found a not very obvious gap. Wang Qifang was secretly delighted and quickly used her fingernails to pry it open with force, but the gap was too tight and her fingernails were too weak, so she pulled back and took out an iron hook from the tool basket on the tea table, inserted the hook into the jewelry box, found the gap, hooked one side with the sharp head of the hook, and pulled hard to pull out a thin insert plate from one side of the box.

  Wang Qifang hastily pulled out the insole and took a closer look, only to find that there was indeed a hidden compartment inside.

  Just now she had always felt that something was missing, if it was true as what Zhao's mother said, this jewelry box was the last reliance left by her birth mother, and could even be called a lifesaver, how could there only be some pearls and gems? According to the Wang family and her birth mother's maiden home Li family's background, these pearls were good but couldn't be considered top-notch treasures, while the lifesaving things that mothers leave for their daughters must be extremely precious.

  In Lenovo's early days when designing jewelry boxes, "Ghost Axe Old Man" Wang Qifang suspected that this box must have had a mechanism.

  Unexpectedly, I really found it for her.

  Open the thin slice of interlayer, in the interlayer that is less than an inch high, several neatly stacked white papers and a simple bodhi seed bracelet are placed neatly.

  Phoenix Eye Bodhi?!

  Wang Qifang was shocked when she saw the bracelet, and she didn't even bother to look at the white papers. She hastily picked up the bracelet and examined it carefully. Her fingers lightly turned over one bead, two beads, three beads... a total of seventeen beads. According to Buddhist teachings, the number of Bodhi beads should be based on 108, representing entry into the hundred and eight samadhis and cutting off the hundred and eight troubles. If used as a bracelet, it should be based on eighteen beads, but this string was short one bead?!

  And if she wasn't mistaken, this string of beads was the Phoenix Eye Bodhi, but from its shape and color, as well as that faint aura, it looked almost identical to the Buddha's bead that had sent her to another world!
