While others were still wondering what happened, Su Jinyue hurried all the way and finally returned to the temple before sunset.

When Xiaotao saw her return safely, the heavy stone hanging in her heart finally settled down.

While helping Su Jinyue change clothes, she couldn't help but complain.

"After you left, the abbot sent people to ask you twice why you took so long to rest. He also said he wanted to call a doctor for you. He was about to leave the mountain, but I persuaded him to come back after much persuasion."

Seeing the obvious worry on Xiaotao's face, Su Jinyue smiled and tapped her forehead.

"Well done."

After putting on the last piece of gauze, Xiao Tao had a proud look on her face, "That's right! Don't you see what kind of person my master is?!"

“You!”

Su Jinyue felt a little helpless. She was chatting and laughing with Xiaotao, but as soon as she walked outside, the smile froze on her face.

"Why did you come to the Buddhist temple?!"

Xie Qingxu took a few steps forward, staring at Su Jinyue and still questioning her.

"How did you find out my whereabouts? How dare you come here to guard me?!"

Su Jinyue felt confused, but she was too lazy to argue with Xie Qingxu, so she took Xiao Tao and was about to leave.

Unexpectedly, Xie Qingxu seemed to be in conflict with her. He stepped forward and, with the servant behind him, completely blocked Su Jinyue's way.

"Stop! Explain your situation clearly, or you might come up with some shady tricks to harm Zhiyao and me..."

"Thank you Qingxu!"

Su Jinyue really couldn't stand his confident face, and there was a hint of speechlessness in her voice.

"Is your Xie family's name written on this Zhenguo Temple? I come here to burn incense and worship Buddha, what does it have to do with you?"

Xie Qingxu snorted coldly: "How come I didn't know that you had the habit of burning incense and worshiping Buddha before? I only know that in order to please my mother, you come to the temple every year to burn incense, make wishes, and build a golden statue."

He looked Su Jinyue up and down several times, as if he saw through Su Jinyue's true face.

"Tell me, how long have you been waiting here to plead with my mother?"

Su Jinyue just felt it was ridiculous and looked at Xie Qingxu with a frown.

"Mr. Xie, are you crazy? Didn't I make it clear enough on Chang Street that day that I would sever ties with your Xie family. Stop dreaming in broad daylight!"

However, Xie Qingxu sneered, "If you had known this would happen, why did you say it so absolutely?"

"Now that I have just made great achievements and His Majesty appreciates me very much, the Xie family will only become more and more prosperous in the future. Do you think those words will have any impact? You are wrong! It will only hurt your reputation. The whole capital knows that you are an abandoned woman that no one wants!"

"If you really want me to forgive you, then hurry back, double the dowry and send it back to the Xie Mansion, then kowtow three times and nine times to apologize to my mother. She went to the Marquis' Mansion but you didn't know how to behave and she has been recovering from her illness these days..."

Su Jinyue laughed when she heard this. She finally understood what Xie Qingxu meant.

She had not realized in her previous life that Xie Qingxu was not very capable but surprisingly confident. The look on her face that showed she was determined to be with him and could not live without him now seemed like a clown in an opera troupe.

It's ridiculous.

"...You must prepare precious medicinal herbs and invite a famous doctor to treat her. Since you have served her well in the past, my mother is kind-hearted and will probably forgive you..."

Xie Qingxu's request was originally well-founded, but when he met the playful smile on Su Jinyue's face, his voice became lower and lower, and he couldn't help frowning.

"why are you laughing?"

Su Jinyue looked at Xie Qingxu for a while, and suddenly asked, "Xie Qingxu, do you even have no money to treat your mother's illness?"

Xie Qingxu trembled all over and his pupils trembled.

"What do you mean you have no money? What nonsense are you talking about? I just received a reward..."

"What good can your little money do? If you throw it into the Xie family's hole, I'm afraid you won't even hear a sound!"

Su Jinyue looked at him with eyes full of sarcasm, "Not only does your brother not work, he also thinks highly of himself. He lost all his money in business, and your sister-in-law is a traitor, emptying her husband's house to fill her own."

"Not to mention that your mother has a disease of the rich, and she needs to take good medicine to stay alive. If she doesn't take medicine for a day, her body will not be able to survive."

She pursed her lips and said, "Add to that the revenue you earned from fighting outside, and without my dowry to support it, what's the difference between your Xie Mansion and a rotten shell eaten away by ants?"

Xie Qingxu's face suddenly turned red, "What nonsense are you talking about..."

"You want to beg me for money to support your Xie family, and you still put on such a condescending face. Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself to see if you are worthy enough?"

Su Jinyue stared at him coldly, "Get out of here while I still have patience!"

She looked at Xie Qingxu's face full of anger and shame, and suddenly laughed, not knowing what she was thinking of.

"Don't play hard to get in front of me!"

Xie Qingxu looked like he saw through Su Jinyue, "Don't think I don't know, you're just trying to get my attention in a different way. Do you think that scolding me like this will make me look at you differently? Su Jinyue, just forget it!"

"If you had been a good wife and mother, I would have given you a chance to be on an equal footing with Zhiyao. But now it seems that you have a mean character and are jealous by nature. Even if you become my legal wife, you are only fit to follow the rules and serve others every day, a village woman who is not worthy of being on the stage!"

Now, not to mention Su Jinyue, even Xiaotao was so angry that she had trouble breathing.

She grabbed Su Jinyue's arm and couldn't help but curse in a low voice, "Is Mr. Xie's brain broken? How can he be so confident that the young lady must have him? He is really hopeless!"

Xie Qingxu was probably a little anxious. Without waiting for Su Jinyue to answer, he stepped forward, grabbed her arm, and pulled her into his arms.

"You are right under my nose now, don't try to play tricks again, hurry back to Xie's house with me, kneel down and apologize to my mother and sister-in-law, then kneel down three times and kowtow nine times at the door, confess your guilt, and then you can atone for your sins..."

Su Jinyue was caught off guard and was hugged in his arms, and she immediately struggled desperately.

"Let me go! Xie Qingxu, you don't understand what I'm saying, right? I've already broken off our engagement, but you raped a woman in broad daylight. If this gets to the emperor's ears, do you still want your fame?!"

Xie Qingxu was fearless, "The whole capital knows that you gave up your reputation for me and moved into the Xie family early. I advise you not to struggle. No one will want a broken woman like you...ah!"

Su Jinyue stomped hard on Xie Qingxu's foot, and taking advantage of the moment when his hands loosened due to the pain, she turned around and raised her hand to stab him in the eye!

Even though Xie Qingxu immediately raised her hand to resist, it didn't stop her movements. Her eyeball was poked hard, and Xie Qingxu screamed in pain on the spot.

"Bitch, you bitch! How dare you lay hands on me?!"
