You divorce me, or I divorce you.
Feng knelt on the ground and reported, "Young Master, the instructions have been given, and we should receive news in approximately three months."
Li Jinghe nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. You may leave now."
Sai Taxue came in from outside and said, "Young Master Li, it's time for your medicinal bath."
Li Jinghe said calmly, "Let's begin."
Li Jinghe was soaking in the bathtub while Sai Taxue threw medicinal herbs into it.
Dongxi looked away, unable to bear watching her young master carelessly discard the trash like garbage.
Li Jinghe naturally recognized these precious medicinal herbs, and his brows furrowed slightly.
Sai Taxue said, "This medicinal bath should be taken once every seven days, and it needs to be taken seven times."
"That is, after 49 days, there is no need to take a medicinal bath."
Li Jinghe looked up at him and asked, "Who invited Physician Sai to treat my illness?"
Sai Taxue clapped her hands and laughed, "Of course I was invited by your father."
Li Jinghe smiled sarcastically, "He doesn't have the ability to invite people from the palace."
Sai Taxue's smile froze, and Li Jinghe continued, "Who is he?"
Sai Taxue withdrew her stiff smile and said calmly, "My task is to cure your illness; I cannot say anything else."
"I'll be back in an hour," he said, before leaving with Dongxi.
Li Jinghe was alone in the room, and he slowly felt his body gradually warming up.
He took his own pulse and found that it was slightly better than before, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up.
Su Yuexing arrived at Changshou Garden and saw Sai Taxue and Dongxi standing outside the door.
"Dr. Sai is a miracle doctor," Su Yuexing said as she stepped forward.
Sai Taxue glanced at her indifferently and said, "I'm not some miracle doctor, I'm a quack."
Su Yuexing ignored his sarcastic remarks, after all, she was the one who had wronged him before.
"May I go in?" Su Yuexing asked.
Sai Taxue refused directly, saying, "No."
Su Yuexing nodded, "Then I'll come again tomorrow."
"I want to know how his condition is?"
Sai Taxue said impatiently, "Don't worry, he won't die."
“I am confident I can cure him.” After saying that, he paused and said, “But will the young mistress believe what a quack like me says?”
Hearing that he could cure Li Jinghe, Su Yuexing was overjoyed, but upon hearing his subsequent sarcasm, she lowered her head and said, "Of course I believe him."
Sai Taxue snorted coldly, "What a hypocritical woman!"
Hua Hong, who was behind her, wanted to step forward and argue, but Su Yuexing stopped her with a look.
"Dr. Sai, I won't bother you any longer." Su Yuexing said, then led her people back.
On the way, Hua Hong said indignantly, "This miracle doctor has absolutely no manners."
Su Yuexing said calmly, "It's nothing. As long as he can cure the young master's illness, what does his temper matter?"
"Besides, it was my own fault for disrespecting him first, so it's only right that he treats me this way."
As she spoke, Su Yuexing's eyes dimmed: "He said he never treated my brother."
"But if my brother had been treated by him back then, would his fate have been different?"
Noticing Su Yuexing's low spirits, Hua Hong changed the subject, saying, "Master's prediction by the master from Qingfeng Temple was truly accurate. Young Madam is indeed the young master's lucky star!"
"Young Madam, your presence has given the young master hope for a cure!"
"Young Madam, why don't we go to Qingfeng Temple to fulfill the vow on behalf of the Master?"
Su Yuexing said leisurely, "Qingfeng Temple?"
Hua Hong nodded and said, "Yes, the birth dates and times of the young mistress and young master were calculated by Master Huiyun of Qingfeng Temple."
Su Yuexing lowered her eyes and said that her fate was changed by this master.
"Hua Hong, let's go to Qingfeng Temple," Su Yuexing said.
The master and servant arrived at Qingfeng Temple in a carriage, where many pilgrims had come to visit.
Following the monk's directions, Su Yuexing arrived at Master Huiyun's meditation room.
"Master Huiyun, someone is looking for you."
Su Yuexing saw an old monk with his legs crossed on the bed and his eyes closed.
Hearing the voice, he slowly opened his eyes and revealed a kind smile. "You've come. Please sit down, female benefactor."
Su Yuexing sat on the stool and felt that the person in front of her looked familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before.
"Have we met before?" Su Yuexing asked.
Master Huiyun smiled slightly, "It seems that Benefactor Su still has some impression of me."
Hearing him address her, Su Yuexing was certain that she had seen him somewhere before.
Master Huiyun said, "Do you still remember what happened five years ago at Baiyun Mountain?"
Five years ago? Baiyun Mountain?
Su Yuexing slowly recalled that five years ago, she went hunting in the mountains and stayed there for three days and three nights chasing a wild boar.
They encountered an unconscious uncle with a very serious injury to his thigh, so they applied the herbal medicine that their mother had prepared for them to him.
Su Yuexing looked at the person in front of her, and saw that he looked exactly like the uncle on the mountain five years ago.
"So it was you! Uncle!" Su Yuexing exclaimed, as if suddenly realizing something.
Master Huiyun knew that she had remembered him and said, "Miss Su, how have you been lately?"
Su Yuexing nodded and said, "It's alright."
"Uncle, why did you become a monk?"
"Having seen through the illusions of the world, I wish to spend the rest of my life in a quiet place," Master Huiyun explained.
Su Yuexing nodded, then frowned and asked, "Uncle, why do you want me to marry Li Jinghe?"
"Everything is predestined," he said, clasping his hands together.
Su Yuexing said bitterly, "But you don't know that your calculation has changed many things in my life."
Master Huiyun noticed the worry on her face and comforted her, saying, "I never expected that the person he would marry would be you, little girl."
"Since you're here, make the best of it. Your path ahead will be even more difficult."
Su Yuexing looked at him, puzzled, and asked, "What do you mean by 'more difficult'?"
"Swords flashing, love and hate intertwined," he said.
Su Yuexing lowered her eyes and slowly thought about it, "Can I leave him now?"
Master Huiyun looked at her and said, "Worldly matters are entangled between you and him, and besides, Benefactor Su's life has also greatly improved, hasn't it?"
"Why don't you stay comfortably in the Li family mansion and live a carefree life without worrying about food and drink?"
Su Yuexing pursed her lips and said, "Because I am a farmer's daughter, while he is a pampered young master who has no worries about food and drink."
"The difference in our social status means that it's impossible for us to be together."
Master Huiyun shook his head and said, "That's not how it is, Benefactor Su. I saw your ending. You lived a very happy life, only the process was a bit difficult."
Su Yuexing smiled disdainfully. "So, according to you, my life was already predetermined?"
She stood up from the stool and said angrily, "My brother is destined to be killed! I'm destined to be trapped in the Li family for the rest of my life!"
"Master, can you tell me if Li Jinghe will divorce me?"
"Or perhaps, I should divorce him?"
Master Huiyun looked into his eyes and answered seriously, "No."
Su Yuexing narrowed her eyes slightly. "Is that so? Then I'll see if fate is in your hands or mine!"
"Master, I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now," Su Yuexing said.
Master Huiyun nodded and said, "Please take care, Benefactor Su."
Watching her retreating figure, Master Huiyun smiled helplessly. She was someone who refused to accept her fate, but...
There's nothing we can do; this world is controlled by fate, and no one can defy it.
He sighed. That was all I could tell her. Then he closed his eyes and went back to meditation.
After returning to the Li residence, Su Yuexing went to Changshou Garden.
Su Yuexing pushed open the door and entered. Li Jinghe was lying on the bed, and Dongyang was holding medicine in his hand.
Li Jinghe's face lit up with joy. "Why are you here so late?" he asked.
Su Yuexing walked towards him and said, "You divorced me?"
"Or, I might divorce you."
Li Jinghe's smile froze, and he asked, "Su Yuexing, what's wrong with you?"
Su Yuexing sat on the stool and said, "Nothing's wrong, I just don't want to stay in the Li residence anymore."
Li Jinghe's eyes were cold as he said in a low voice, "So you're looking down on me too?"
Hearing his tone, Dongyang, who was standing nearby, broke out in a cold sweat. "Young Madam, you must not make the young master angry!"
The consequences of his anger are something neither of us can afford.
Su Yuexing explained, "Because I want to control my own destiny."
"I'll give you three days to think it over. Give me a satisfactory answer after three days." With that, he turned and left without looking back.
Li Jinghe gripped the blanket tightly with both hands, and "Pfft!" a mouthful of blood spurted from his throat.
Dongyang turned pale with fright and rushed forward to support Li Jinghe, exclaiming in alarm, "Young Master!"
"Young master! What's wrong with you?"
Li Jinghe gritted his teeth and said, "Give the order...to find out...what Su Yuexing did today!"
Dongyang nodded hurriedly and said, "Good! Good! Young Master!"
"I'm going to call for the miracle doctor right now!"
Dongxi, who was helping Sai Taxue change her clothes, heard an urgent knocking on the door.
Dongxi went to knock on the door and saw Dongyang looking anxious. "Why are you in such a panic? What happened?"
Dongyang quickly said, "Our young master just coughed up a mouthful of blood!"
"Quickly, send your miracle doctor to take a look!"
Sai Taxue finished dressing and came out of the inner room, saying, "Why did he suddenly act like this?"
Dongyang explained, "Because my young mistress just came back from outside and was making a fuss about wanting to separate from the young master."
Along the way, Dongyang recounted the details of what had happened to Sai Taxue.
"I really don't understand why the young mistress would do this?" Dongyang asked, puzzled.
"She clearly has no worries about food and drink in the Li family, but she still wants to live a hard life."
Sai Taxue smiled and said, "It seems this woman holds a significant place in your young master's heart."
Dongyang muttered, "A woman who's just a bride to bring good luck is nowhere near as important as Miss Jiang."
Sai Taxue stopped in her tracks upon hearing his words and asked, "Miss Jiang?"
Dongyang quickly replied, "It's nothing."
Sai Taxue continued walking forward, pushed open the door, and saw Li Jinghe lying on the bed with his eyes closed, his face pale, and he was only breathing weakly.
His heart was in his throat. He strode to the bedside and quickly took his pulse.
He immediately took off the acupuncture kit he was carrying, gave him acupuncture, and instructed, "Dongxi, quickly prepare a medicinal bath."
"Yes!" Dongxi went down.
