The young nun was pregnant!
At first, she was very panicked and did not know what to do. She tried her best to hide it and not interact with anyone. However, as time passed, her stomach started to get noticeable. She could only eat less to make herself look thinner and stall for time.
However, after four months, the truth could not be hidden. In the end, this matter was brought to the abbot.
What the abbot meant was that since she had violated the monastery's rules and it was something that would harm the nunnery's reputation, she had to be punished severely. She had to repent in front of the Buddha statue and be expelled from the sect, never to come back.
However, after handing the young nun to the Discipline Court, the disciplinarian felt that this punishment was too light. After all, because of her shamelessness, the reputation of the entire Green Lotus Nunnery was ruined. How could such a huge sin be made up for by simply expelling her from the sect?
