The maid's voice was gentle and considerate, and she tried to comfort her emotional master with a calm tone.

"I can't do it anymore. I really don't have any strength left! This mountain road is too tiring."

The woman suddenly stopped and sat down on the stairs limply, as if she was unwilling to take another step forward.

"Okay, Miss, you can just rest here for a while. I'll go check out the situation up ahead and bring you the latest news."

After saying this, the maid carefully lifted her skirt and walked quickly towards Wen Zhu, appearing very agile.

Fortunately, there was still some distance between them at this moment, not particularly close.

Considering the main purpose of Su Yunrong's trip, it is very likely to meet Su Xiawei.

If they really met in the Jishui Temple, then if the master and servant in front of them encountered them, there would definitely be some troublesome troubles.

Under such circumstances, Fu Yu may eventually choose to end his marriage and remarry a new wife to save face in order to maintain his own reputation.

After considering these complex factors, Wen Zhu immediately made a wise decision.

"Su Yue, go and guide that girl in the right direction. Remember to make sure she takes as many detours as possible. The most important thing is to avoid this place."

After hearing the order, Su Yue took action immediately and ran quickly towards the target person.

At the same time, Wen Zhu immediately quickened his pace and rushed towards the Jishui Temple on the top of the mountain.

It took less than a quarter of an hour for Wen Zhu to arrive in front of the temple.

This Jishui Temple enshrines the legendary Jishui God. On weekdays, few people come here to pray and worship, so the whole building looks particularly desolate and deserted.

However, at this moment, there were some strange sounds in the temple. After hearing this sound, a blush of shyness and embarrassment suddenly appeared on her face.

Originally, she had no intention of getting directly involved in the matter, but if she knocked on the door and informed the other party of the potential threat, it might confuse and puzzle the people inside.

It is more likely that Su Xiawei would not believe Wen Zhu's words at all, and even think that she was deliberately making trouble, which would make it even more difficult to explain.

So, after weighing the pros and cons, Wen Zhu decided to find a secluded place to hide temporarily, and temporarily hide among the lush flowers and plants growing around the temple to observe the situation.

About a quarter of an hour later, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the corner of an orange dress flashing by, and then Miss Li hurriedly climbed the stairs.

This scene made Wen Zhu's heart suddenly tighten and he felt a little uneasy.

Wen Zhu hurried forward and knocked on the door. The whispering in the room stopped instantly and everything became extremely quiet.

Su Yunrong heard a knock on the door and quickly grabbed the clothes thrown aside. She looked out through the crack in the door and found Wen Zhu standing outside. She immediately lowered her voice and asked anxiously, "What are you doing here?!"

"The young lady from the Li family is chasing us," Wen Zhu urged nervously, "Hurry and escape through the back window!"

The anxiety in his tone could not be concealed.

Su Yunrong frowned in confusion, looked at Wen Zhu suspiciously, and said dissatisfiedly: "Don't lie to me! What is going on?"

"You'll regret it if you don't believe me!"

Wen Zhu became a little anxious when he saw this, and his voice was filled with anger and warning.

At this moment, Miss Li seemed to have approached the door of the room, and her voice came clearly: "Is this the Jishui Temple?"

That shrill yet curious voice makes people feel flustered when they hear it.

Su Yunrong and Su Xiawei in the room were both panicked, especially Su Xiawei, who had an expression of extreme worry on her face.

She hurriedly pointed to the rear window and quickly moved the table over to help Su Yunrong escape from here.

With her help, Su Yunrong also quickly climbed onto the windowsill and pushed open the old and heavy window with force.

When he stood on the windowsill and looked at the distance and height outside, he couldn't help feeling a little weak in his heart.

However, he couldn't afford to hesitate any longer at this moment. Through the front window, Su Xiawei spotted Miss Li walking towards them and immediately urged, "Jump! There's no time!"

At this critical moment, Su Yunrong made up his mind, closed his eyes and jumped.

When he landed heavily on the ground, he felt a sharp pain in his feet.

But he did not scream. Instead, he bit his lips hard, trying his best to suppress the fear and pain in his heart, trying not to make any sound to attract other people's attention.

Although this corner is well hidden, it is still easy for passers-by to discover it by chance.

Therefore, even though the ground was cold and damp, there were many thorny bushes blocking the way forward, and mosquitoes kept buzzing in his ears and attacking, Su Yunrong still didn't care about all that. He used both hands and feet to crawl quickly forward in this thorny bush, just to find a safer place to hide temporarily.

On the other side, the situation inside the house was equally urgent.

In order to prevent the incoming Miss Li from noticing anything wrong, Su Xiawei had already taken the initiative to close the front window, and quickly dressed herself neatly, carefully tidied up her messy hair, and readjusted the position of some accessories to make herself look more dignified and generous.

Almost at the same time, there were light footsteps outside the door, and then the door was pushed open, and Miss Li appeared with a curious and vigilant expression on her face.

When she saw Wen Zhu standing at the door, her eyes widened, and her tone was full of obvious suspicion and questioning: "Who are you? Why are you here? Is there anyone in the room?!"

There was a deep sense of confusion in his words.

"Who are you?! Why are you yelling here?"

Wen Zhu frowned and questioned in an unhappy tone.

"What does this have to do with you?"

Miss Li said this angrily, and before she finished her words, she had already taken a step forward, walking forward aggressively, as if she was going to kick the temple door that didn't look strong at the next moment.

"How dare you kick the temple door? How disrespectful to the Jishui God?"

Wen Zhu pretended to be very surprised and stared at Miss Li with an almost unbelievable look, trying to make his words more shocking.

"I want to see who Su Yunrong is secretly meeting with!"

Miss Li shouted desperately and used all her strength to hit the obstacle in front of her with her shoulders.

The weathered wooden door trembled under the fierce impact, and finally made a slight but clear "creak", and with this sound it slowly opened a small gap.

Because she used too much force, when the door was fully opened, Miss Li stumbled and fell on the threshold.

"What are you knocking for?!"

It was Su Xiawei who came out of the house after hearing such a loud noise outside.
