The old man's face darkened, and he smashed the chestnut he was carrying on Xie Wenzhou's forehead, angrily saying: "I don't care about you, I said I don't care about her and Achao's affairs, I didn't say I don't care about you!"

Xie Wenzhou felt a dull pain in his head, his brow furrowed in sharpness, and he raised his lips to speak: "Master, please don't interfere with other people's karma."

The old man had a stern face, and there was a hint of anger in his eyes.

How could he have imagined that one day his apprentice would follow his old path?

Azhou was right, he did forcibly take someone else's wife.

And she is the wife of an old friend.

But he thought that no one could give her happiness except himself.

I guess Azhou thinks so too.

But why did Azhou take away the wife of his other apprentice? He couldn't just stand by and watch because both of them were his flesh and blood.

Thinking of this, the old man stroked his beard and made a final decision, "Yue girl, Ah Chao has been gone for three days. I believe he will be back soon. When he comes back, you should quickly get the deer grass and go back to rescue him."

Xie Wenzhou raised his eyebrows slightly, looking nonchalant, "I'm afraid she won't be able to go back for three to five years."

The old man paused, his voice becoming more urgent. "What did you say?"

Xie Wenzhou glanced at Xiang Huaiyue lightly and remained silent.

The old man followed his gaze and fell on Xiang Huaiyue, "Yue girl, what does he mean?"

Xiang Huaiyue lowered her eyelashes and said slowly:

"Thank you, Master of the Valley," he said, "I watered the camellias too much, causing them to wither and die. So, he asked me to stay and replant the trees. He only allowed me to leave the valley when the camellias bloom. But I clearly didn't water them much, so how could the roots die?"

Although she felt guilty, the matter was so strange that she had to become suspicious.

Moreover, Xie Wenzhou was a sinister and cunning person, and she could not follow his advice.

The old man realized something was wrong as soon as he heard it and went to check the roots of the tree.

Xiang Huaiyue felt inexplicably nervous, and even her heart was beating in her throat.

Xie Wenzhou stood aside calmly, showing no sign of wanting to stop it.

The old man frowned, his expression suddenly becoming serious. "It is indeed due to overwatering that the tree roots have died."

Xiang Huaiyue felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. Her whole body was trembling, and the stars in her eyes disappeared.

She raised her eyes to look at Xie Wenzhou, only to see that his brows were relaxed and he seemed to be in a good mood.

Perhaps Xie Wenzhou noticed her gaze and looked over.

Their eyes met in the air, creating some intriguing sparks.

Xiang Huaiyue did not avoid his gaze, as if she wanted to see through the meaning in his eyes.

After a moment, Xiang Huaiyue regained her sanity and pursed her lips. "Master, I only gave the camellia tree three spoonfuls of water. Isn't that enough to kill it?"

"Are you sure you only poured three spoonfuls?" the old man said with a gloomy expression, "From what I can see, you poured at least a bucketful."

Xiang Huaiyue squatted down slowly with her skirt tucked up, carefully observing the water stains on the surface of the tree roots, and her eyebrows jumped.

The color depth of the water stains is the same.

It also means watering at the same time.

She was unable to clear herself of suspicion and was even made a scapegoat.

Those who profit the most are often the most motivated.

Xie Wenzhou asked her to stay in the valley and plant camellia trees, and his intentions were obvious.

Maybe he just wanted her to plant camellia trees under the pretext of wanting her to do so, but he actually wanted to keep her in the Valley of Life and Death forever!

Thinking of this, Xiang Huaiyue couldn't help but clench her clothes with her fingertips, and looked straight at Xie Wenzhou with displeasure, "The wild geese leave traces behind. I won't do as you wish."

Xie Wenzhou raised his eyes and smiled faintly, "There is no evidence, little princess, please don't wrongly accuse a good person."

His voice seemed to carry an invisible power that touched people's hearts.

Xiang Huaiyue sneered and slowly stood up.

The old man connected the two things and naturally guessed that it was Xie Wenzhou who did it.

But there was no clue to be found for the time being.

The current situation is not favorable for Yue Yatou.

But even if he risked his life, he would not let this brat do anything wrong!

While thinking, the old man held his forehead and shouted, "Ouch, my headache is so severe, Yue girl, please help me go back and rest."

Xiang Huaiyue responded softly and helped the old man leave.

Xie Wenzhou raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes fixed on her charming figure, and silently said, "Little Princess, there is still a long way to go."

After they walked away, the old man said earnestly, "Yue girl, as long as you don't want to, Master will not let Azhou take you away from Achao."

Xiang Huaiyue's eyes were filled with tears. "Master, thank you so much."

"Silly girl, what are you thanking me for? This is what a master should do." The old man smiled lightly and whispered a few words in her ear in a low voice, "You..."

Xiang Huaiyue lowered her eyes and responded, "Okay."

The old man escorted Xiang Huaiyue out of the courtyard and watched her go in before turning around and leaving.

Xiang Huaiyue lay on the couch, but he was not sleepy at all.

She tossed and turned, and finally got up, walked around the screen, and sat down in front of the table.

She picked up the ink stick with her delicate hands and began to grind it.

Then he picked up the wolf hair brush and wrote a line of words on the rice paper.

After the ink has dried, roll it up.

Xiang Huaiyue tied the letter to the goose's feet, and then walked to the window and raised his hand gently.

Wild geese soar in the sky and hide in the darkness.

This wild goose was borrowed from her master just now.

Xie Wenzhou has absolute power here, she can't just sit there and wait for death, she must seek help from outside.

Xiang Huaiyue stared at the dark night sky for a long time before slowly lying down on the couch.

She lay there for a long time before falling asleep.

But it wasn't long before she was haunted by nightmares.

In the dream, Xie Wenzhou imprisoned her in the Valley of Life and Death, and she could not escape unless she died.

He seemed like a madman, muttering in her ears every day.

"You are not allowed to go anywhere except by my side."

"He Chaoye is not worthy to be with you. Only I, Xie Wenzhou, am your perfect match."

"Little princess, you are mine, no one can take you away from me."

At the end of his conversation, Xie Wenzhou grabbed her neck and kissed her almost crazily.

The scene was too real, and resistance spread to Xiang Huaiyue's heart. He immediately sat up from the bed and growled, "Don't—"

It was not until she saw the bedroom decoration that Xiang Huaiyue realized she had had a nightmare.

But when she thought of the scenes in her dream, her tears burst out uncontrollably.

She was Princess Yongle of the Western Dynasty and should have lived a carefree and happy life.

How can I be trapped in one place by others?

If that's the case, she would rather die than live in disgrace!

Having learned from the previous experience, Xiang Huaiyue dared not close her eyes again, for fear that as soon as she closed her eyes, Xie Wenzhou's horrifying face would unconsciously appear in her mind.

Only when the darkness faded away and a faint light appeared in the sky did Xiang Huaiyue close his eyes.

She slept soundly and no longer dreamed of Xie Wenzhou.

When she woke up, it was already noon.

Xiang Huaiyue stretched and just opened the window when a figure suddenly flashed in.

Her pupils shrank slightly, and she stared at the person in front of her like a frightened bird.
