Regardless, I'll still go.
“I’ll go with you.” Yu Shuo held her hand, even though he knew there was no danger at Xishan Temple, he still wanted to accompany Qin Su.
"I can go by myself; there shouldn't be any danger."
Moreover, she always felt that the host was eccentric and asked if he had some secret to invite her alone.
Yu Shuo stopped pressuring her, but just kept staring at Qin Su's back, looking just like a stone waiting for its wife.
Xishan Temple boasts stunning scenery, with vast expanses of trees planted in a way that is not overly dense. This skillful use of open space adds to the temple's tranquil and profound atmosphere.
"The abbot is inside, please come in."
Qin Su nodded slightly to the young monk, leaving Lian Tao outside, and went inside herself.
The abbot's meditation room was slightly larger, but that was the only difference; the rest of the furnishings were quite simple.
The host, whom I had met not long ago, was sitting by the window. In front of him was a small tea table with two cups of tea on it, one of which was probably for a guest.
Qin Su walked over and sat down. She said to the host, "Does the host need something from me?"
The white-haired abbot nodded, his gaze still serene and tranquil. "This is flower tea; you may drink it, benefactor."
"Thank you." Qin Su didn't think the host would harm her, and took a sip generously, savoring the lingering taste.
"Is the baby in the woman's womb alright?"
Qin Su felt that the other party's question was a bit strange. She stroked her belly and smiled gently, "I just had my pulse checked yesterday, and everything is fine."
"Um."
"The arising and ceasing of things are all governed by cause and effect and destiny."
Qin Su: You're starting to talk nonsense again.
“You have accumulated merit, but if you cannot let go of your hatred, it will be of little benefit to you.”
Qin Su's smile faded, and her expression turned rather unpleasant.
She has never liked others interfering in her affairs.
How could she not seek revenge? How could she face her past self, her daughter from her past life, and the suffering family of the Marquis of Zhongyi if she didn't seek revenge?
"Host, have you ever heard this saying?"
"What does the benefactor wish to say?"
Qin Su laughed, but it was unclear whether it was a cold laugh or a mocking laugh. "Isn't the host supposed to be able to say everything? How come you don't know what I'm thinking right now?"
The abbot, though somewhat helpless, remained calm and composed, saying, "No matter how skilled I am at divination, I am still just a human, not a god."
Qin Su shrugged. "Don't advise others to be kind if you haven't experienced their suffering. How can the abbot not understand such a simple principle?"
"The abbot also spoke of cause and effect and reincarnation. If he hadn't sown the seeds of this karma, how could I be reaping the consequences I'm experiencing now?"
The host shook his head.
Qin Su was clearly reasoning according to his logic, but he just shook his head, as if Qin Su was wrong.
Qin Su wanted to get angry, but facing such a calm and gentle old man, her anger was suppressed before it could flare up.
She could handle a host who was unreasonable and domineering, but the person she was facing now had been consistently calm and collected.
Why did the host shake his head?
"What if I told you, benefactor, that the hatred from your past life has been settled? Would you still wish to continue?"
Qin Su paused for a moment, then quickly denied it.
Doesn't she know what she's done? Does she need someone else to tell her?
“The Prince of Chen’s sins are even greater than yours.”
Qin Su immediately retorted, "He is a general, a hero who guards the border, how could he not have committed murder?"
She dismissed the host's words.
"No, his killings were committed by the benefactor."
Qin Su was immediately stunned and quickly denied it, "That's impossible."
The host refilled her teacup, which was nearly full, a clear indication that he was asking her to leave.
Qin Su, however, insisted on staying. She pressed on, "What do you mean by 'presiding over'? Why did Prince Chen's killings originate from me? Before our marriage, I didn't have much interaction with him."
However, no matter how Qin Su asked, the host kept his eyes closed and stopped answering her questions.
Qin Su gritted her teeth and said angrily, "What if I insist on taking revenge?"
Sure enough, the host opened his eyes again.
“If you insist on going your own way, the consequences will ultimately fall on your child.”
Qin Su didn't believe his nonsense.
But since it concerned her daughter, she had no choice but to take it seriously.
Superstition! This is utter superstition!
She then asked, "But what if that person continues to press me? What if he still persecutes me? What if he continues to persecute Da'an?"
"Just because the host said a few words, am I supposed to refrain from any resistance? Am I just to offer my neck for execution?"
This is absolutely absurd!
“If that’s the case, you can handle it yourself, which is perfectly fine. What I mean by letting go is simply that you shouldn’t lose yourself in hatred.”
Qin Su finally calmed down.
Losing oneself...
If it weren't for Nannan, her family, and Yu Shuo, she really would have killed Xue Huai'an without a second thought; the fact that she almost stabbed him to death is proof of that.
She took a deep breath and said to the host, "I understand."
"But... how does the host know all this? Does he also know..." She didn't finish her sentence; what she really wanted to ask was whether the host knew that she was not a person from this world.
Having been reborn, how can I still be considered a human being in this world?
Perhaps seeing through Qin Su's thoughts and dejected state, the abbot sighed, "This humble monk knows little, and even if I do, some things cannot be revealed to you. You only need to know that your current situation is due to the silent support of others."
"So my starting over isn't a coincidence? It's not accidental?"
"Please leave, benefactor."
He stopped speaking and went into deep meditation again.
Qin Su was deeply troubled.
She couldn't explain her rebirth, but attributed it to coincidence.
But the host's meaning clearly told her that all of this was not a coincidence, but that someone had facilitated her rebirth.
Who could it be?
What is the purpose?
Why would Yu Shuo commit such a grave sin because of her?
Too many questions swirled in her mind, and she still couldn't figure them out even after returning to her meditation room.
When Yu Shuo returned, he found that Qin Su was lost in thought. He waited for a long time, but she still didn't come back to her senses and didn't notice that he had come back from outside.
He walked over and called Qin Su's name.
Qin Su then realized that Yu Shuo had returned. Chongyang said that Yu Shuo left right after she left.
It was said that His Majesty had summoned him, but the specific reason was unclear.
"What are you thinking about?" Yu Shuo wiped Qin Su's slightly sweaty hands with a handkerchief.
Qin Su shook her head.
She couldn't tell Yu Shuo what she had said to the host, especially since the events of her past life had been buried, and even if she asked Yu Shuo, she wouldn't get an answer.
"I hope there's anything SuSu can tell me, anything that can't be solved, anything that's bothering me, and me too."
Yu Shuo spoke to her earnestly.
Even though he remained silent while Qin Su was handling matters these past few days, it didn't mean he couldn't get things done.
Qin Su bit her lip and hesitated for a long time.
Finally, encouraged by Yu Shuo, she spoke up, asking, "If, I mean if, my child and I were murdered, and you came back from the border, what would you do? What would you do?"
Yu Shuo's expression darkened halfway through Qin Su's speech. He brushed a stray hair from Qin Su's ear and solemnly said, "I will avenge you. Everyone who has bullied you must die."
