Yueyao gently tapped Mingzhu's forehead: "Don't get involved in the matters of the elders."
Mingzhu laughed, "I won't get involved. I'm just talking to you, Yueyao. Do you think my mother-in-law really loves being a vegetarian and chanting Buddha's name?" Mingzhu asked Yueyao because Yueyao was interested in Buddhism.
Yueyao shook her head, "I don't know. I've never met Lady Niu, so I shouldn't comment recklessly. However, I guess Lady Niu might have been disheartened with her husband for a long time. She probably stayed on account of her young son and was reluctant to leave. Now that her son has succeeded and married a competent daughter-in-law like you, Lady Niu no longer has any attachments. Therefore, she went to Hualin Temple; at least she can find peace there." Yueyao speculated this after hearing from Xiang Wei that Lady Niu was kind-hearted but somewhat passive.
