Su He, Liu Shi and Liu Qiuqiu rode in a carriage, which was cramped and a bit depressing. As soon as they arrived outside Shangqing Temple, Liu Qiuqiu got off the carriage first because she felt a little uncomfortable. When she felt better, she came forward to help Liu Shi.

Outside the empty temple there was a luxurious carriage with a purple gold top. Two young monks were sweeping the floor in front of the steps. A gust of wind blew by, making the pine and cypress trees in the temple rustle.

Liu took Su He to the Buddhist temple to pay homage to the Buddha. The Buddha statue showed a compassionate and kind smile, looking at all living beings and also at Su He.

She gazed into the Buddha's eyes that could see through people's hearts, kowtowed and knelt, lifted her skirt and stood up, offering incense sticks with bright sparks in both hands, and only then did she feel a little more at ease.

Liu Qiuqiu had already worshipped the Buddha and was now standing outside the temple waiting. When she saw Su He being so devout to the Buddha, there was some sarcasm in her eyes.

When Su He came out of the Buddhist temple, she stepped forward, deliberately stroking her belly and asked, "Did Madam worship the wrong way?"

"Why?"

Liu Qiuqiu curled her lips and smiled maliciously: "Young Madam should worship Guanyin Bodhisattva and wish for a child."

The last two words were spoken very clearly by her biting her tongue. Su He paused and looked at her sideways: "I kneel down to worship the Buddha, hoping that he will protect my loved ones in this life. This is a quiet place, and Sister Liu is pregnant, so you should be careful with your words and actions."

"You really don't want to give birth to a child for Lu Yanxiu?" Liu Qiuqiu didn't know there were such stupid women in the world. Without a child, how could she tie a man down? How could she rely on herself?

Su He asked, "What kind of person is he that is worthy of me bearing a child for him?"

"you!"

Liu Qiuqiu's face flushed red. She never thought that Su He would actually belittle Lu Yanxiu. But she clearly... cared about Lu Yanxiu before?

Could it be that it was really because I brought my child into the house that irritated her?

Liu Qiuqiu tried to find something fishy on Su He's face, but she concealed it so well that there was nothing unusual.

After the two finished talking, Liu came out of the Buddhist temple with the help of Nanny Qin. She looked up and saw a woman in luxurious clothes standing on the path in the pine and cypress forest not far away, admiring the scenery.

Beside her stood a familiar face.

Su He followed Liu's gaze and frowned slightly when he saw Lu Huaihe.

He is here, then the one next to him...

"That's Princess Zhaoyang." Liu narrowed her eyes slightly, and many old memories came to her mind. Even though decades had passed, Zhaoyang had not changed much in the priceless skin care products.

That’s right, when she married Lu Zhiping, she was only sixteen years old.

Liu Qiuqiu had never seen anyone from the royal family. When she heard Liu mention it, her eyes turned. Just the back of her looked elegant and noble.

"Grandma, shall we go forward?" she asked.

Liu turned to Su He, her eyes slightly raised: "What do you think?"

Su He frowned: "It's the old lady's decision."

"In that case, go and have a look with a shameless face."

Liu let go of Nanny Qin's hand and straightened her appearance. After all, she was Zhaoyang's sister-in-law, and she didn't want to lose her composure. Then she slowly walked towards the pine and cypress forest.

At this time, the wind was blowing through the forest, and the smell of soil after the rain was even more fragrant. Zhaoyang gathered his sleeves and accidentally dropped his handkerchief on the ground. Before the plain-faced woman next to him bent down to pick it up, Nanny Qin came forward and picked it up with both hands and presented it to Zhaoyang.

"This old servant greets the eldest princess."

Zhaoyang looked at Nanny Qin carefully and recalled it quickly. When he looked up, Liu had already walked up to him. She bowed slightly and saluted respectfully: "I am here to see the eldest princess. I haven't seen you for many years. The eldest princess is still the same as before, and has not changed at all."

So it’s this family?

Zhaoyang didn't expect to see old friends here again?

"Long time no see, sister-in-law."

She didn't address him in a strange way, and these two brief words made Liu slightly stunned.

When Liu Qiuqiu heard the origin, she calculated the relationship in her mind. She was afraid that she would lose face for Lu Yanxiu, so she was eager to step forward and said sweetly, "Meet my great-aunt."

Su He called out, "Good luck to the Princess."

When Lu Huaihe heard the change in address, he met her eyes, his brows flushed slightly, and he immediately understood everything.

Zhaoyang had met Liu Qiuqiu once at the banquet, but she looked down on such people. When she heard the name, she just nodded symbolically and never looked at her again.

"I heard that Zhang has reached paradise?" Zhaoyang brought it up on his own initiative, as if he was intentionally making a greeting.

It is impossible for the Liu family to seize such a great opportunity. If the relationship that has been broken for many years can be completely eased, it will undoubtedly be the greatest help to the Lu family!

It happened to be raining in the forest, so Liu took the initiative to suggest, "Princess, why don't you come with me to the tea room to talk?"

It looks like the rain is getting heavier.

The plain-looking woman at the side held up an umbrella over Zhaoyang's head and echoed, "Mother, it's a cool autumn day, let's go in and say hello."

When Su He heard the name, he realized that she was Princess Xianyin.

He had never met her in his previous life, and the few times they happened to meet, he only glanced at her from a distance. Today, when he was so close to her, Su He had the opportunity to take a closer look at her.

Just as the rumors said, Princess Xianyin had a dull temperament and was almost oblivious to other people and things. Her eyes only showed fluctuations when she was talking to Zhaoyang and Lu Huaihe.

Raindrops fell into the pond, creating ripples.

Xianyin held an umbrella for Zhaoyang, and Liu and Qin followed closely behind, getting soaked. Fortunately, Liu Qiuqiu had left early when she saw the rain getting heavier. Su He had already prepared to get wet, but she never expected Lu Huaihe to walk up to her with an umbrella.

He was wearing a thin dark blue robe today, with a sparse brow and features, looking dignified and elegant.

In the thin rain and mist, Lu Huaihe stood beside Su He with an umbrella. His jade-like figure completely covered her. His eyebrows and eyes appeared soft in the rain and mist, reflecting countless waves of light.

Su He frowned slightly, looked away, and subconsciously stepped back. At this time, the news of the divorce had not yet spread. If someone saw her walking so close to the man under the umbrella, it would ruin the reputation of both her and Lu Huaihe.

Noticing her concerns, Lu Huaihe handed her the umbrella. He didn't want to put Su He in a difficult position.

"Hold on."

Su He was stunned. The umbrella had already been handed to her.

"Master Lu..."

When I looked up again, the dark blue figure had already rushed into the rain and quickly disappeared around the corner of the pine and cypress forest.

Su He only felt that the warmth at the umbrella handle was a bit hot.

When Pei Xia went to the carriage to get the paper umbrella, she found that the young lady was already holding one. She saw that the pattern of the paper umbrella was unusual and did not look like the style that was available in the mansion.

Su He put away Lu Huaihe's paper umbrella, thinking that she would return it to her later. On the way to the tea room, she kept looking down to check it, fearing that she had scratched the umbrella.

The room is filled with the aroma of tea, accompanied by the unique sound of chanting in the temple, creating a unique sense of tranquility.

Lu Huaihe stood under the eaves waiting for Su He to arrive, but found that she did not use her umbrella.
