"After all, Cui Zhaoyi is a daughter of an aristocratic family. She generously gave a full one thousand taels."

"I should return the gift to Consort Cui."

"What are you saying? The Emperor has already given it to her. Madam, you are so foolish."

Hua Xia carefully stuffed it into the lining of her inner shirt. This time it was safe. Unless someone stripped her clothes, it would never be stolen.

Jiang Jiang grabbed her and asked, "Mother, who did you give our father to?"

"No, don't listen to Hua Xia's nonsense."

The general clenched his fists and said, "If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have left the palace and stayed with my father, not letting other women sleep with him!"

After a while, the carriage stopped.

"Madam Sheng, we're here!"

Sheng Xiyan lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, and in the darkness, she saw only a small broken door on a few steps.

Do you want to beat the wooden fish here in the future?

Choulong, you are so cruel. Divorce means sending me back to my parents' home, but you drove me to this dilapidated temple!

The driver was particularly enthusiastic and ran up the steps to knock on the door.

Hua Xia and Mei Xiang helped Sheng Xiyan get off the carriage.

Jiang Jiang and his dogs looked out, and it was pitch black, with a desolate and deserted scene.

Is it really what my mother said: like a bird soaring into the sky, a fish entering the sea, a place where they are no longer bound?

"General, stop running around!"

"I understand, mother!"

Aunt Zhang and the wet nurse looked after Jiang Jiang. "Don't worry, my lady. We are watching over you."

After knocking on the door for a long time, two little nuns finally came out.

"Who are you?"

Hua Xia stepped forward,

"Our wife has come to your temple to pray for blessings under the order of the emperor. Please inform the nun to come and see our wife."

The two nuns looked confused. What did it mean?

Jiang Jiang shouted, "Just ask the oldest nun here to come out."

"Jiang Jiang, be polite and call me nun."

"Oh, my mother wants to meet your nun. We are going to live here in the future!"
