In April, the peach blossoms were in full bloom, and spring was shining outside the city walls.

Su Zixuan was invited by Li Shiyun to go to Longhua Temple outside the city to burn incense.

It was naturally impossible for two young women to head there. The entire family of the Li family were there to pray for the matriarch's blessings.

It had been almost half a year since last winter's seventieth birthday. Previously, he had only looked at his healthy body because he had taken good care of it. For example, this time, it was just a bout of cold. It had actually been intermittent for more than half a month now and it still hadn't been good.

Blessing was just a formality, but it was better than doing nothing. They didn't want anything to happen to the matriarch, otherwise Ding You would have to suffer for three years and come back to life. They didn't know if the imperial court would have a foothold then.

Su Zixuan didn't believe this at first, but after her rebirth, she had revered it from the bottom of her heart. Since his return, he had yet to go to the temple, so he might as well take advantage of this time to go and pray for his brother.

She followed the Li family's carriage out of the city. The air was filled with a faint pus of rain, and the ground was somewhat soft from the continuous drizzle.

The carriage moved very slowly. Li Shiyun was in the Su Clan's carriage. She was leaning against the window as she looked out at the lush green mountain fields.

"Sis, tell me, are they unwilling to part with their grandmother, or are they unwilling to part with Ding You …" She was a bit depressed. Amongst her siblings, she was the closest one to her grandmother, and also the one with the deepest feelings.

His grandmother had been sick for a long time now, so it was normal for her to worry about him. However, being with his family for so long was not as important as gaining power and status.

Every day, Li Shiyun would look at her uncles and sisters coming and going with worry on her face, as if she really wanted to share her grandmother's pain, but she didn't know what they were really thinking. She only felt that it was very fake, but when she mentioned that blessing had sent out a large family, she left her little aunt at home to look after her grandmother.

With this kind of heart, he might as well have a good grandmother to serve him. She thought in a somewhat mocking manner.

"Why do you care about all this? The matriarch's health is a big matter. As a descendant of her family, I'm naturally worried," Su Zixuan saw the awkwardness within her good friend's heart and advised her patiently.

"However, Ding You is also a big matter. He just happened to be placed together. While it is true that power and wealth move people's hearts, you cannot blindly feel that there is no true meaning to it either."

Su Zixuan poured a cup of tea and handed it over to Li Shiyun, then said, "Don't blame them, power is tied to the family. If they can't protect their own status, then the women will be the first to be bullied."

Li Shiyun accepted the tea and sipped it. Hearing Su Zixuan's disagreeing words, she said, "That's too chilling. Grandmother hasn't done anything yet, but they're already worried about the future wealth."

Although she and Li Shiyun were good friends, not everything held the same view. However, she did not plan to argue with Li Shiyun. If emotions always dominated the top, then what else was there to care about in this world?

However, there were some things that did not land on his body. The words that came out were also very light and weightless.

The carriage stopped at the foot of the mountain. He raised his head and looked at the lofty ancient temple as a sense of reverence arose in his heart.

The steps to the temple were long and steep, but since it was a blessing for the family, no one complained. Step by step, they walked up the stairs.

It was difficult for them to walk all the way to the temple entrance, but by the time they arrived, they were already sweating profusely.

After a short rest, he was led into the main hall to pray for blessings. Su Zixuan knelt on the prayer mat, his heart filled with countless thoughts and doubts, but in the end, only one wish remained, and that was to ensure the safety of her Su Family.

The Su Clan had never stopped doing good deeds for more than ten years, and the number of people they had helped was innumerable. If Buddha was truly merciful, then there would be no reason for our clan to be exterminated.

Thus, Su Zixuan believed that if she went back to the time before everything had happened, it would be the mercy of the heavens. If she was given a chance, she would be able to change that.

As Su Zixuan walked out of the great hall, she gazed at the solemn and dignified statue of Buddha from afar. Before this, she would often feel that everything that happened today was like a dream, driven by hatred and perseverance.

However, the person in her dreams had yet to awaken in front of Lord Buddha. This caused her to feel as though a giant boulder had quietly been lifted from her heart.

Even if it was just a dream, he had to stay awake for the rest of his life.

Su Zixuan's mood eased a bit, but Li Shiyun wasn't as depressed as before. The two of them walked around the temple together after the fast meal.

Now, with April in full bloom, the two of them, led by their young master, arrived at the courtyard where the peach blossoms were open.

Pink petals bloomed on the branches. In this small world, they were filled with petals like these, causing the young leaves to be squeezed into a corner. The domineering nature of the flower was revealed clearly.

The bright peach blossoms were incomparably beautiful.

In the Peach Blossom Forest, they only felt at ease, leaving the female servants behind. The two of them headed into the forest, and they could faintly hear the faint sounds of music.

Li Shiyun couldn't suppress the curiosity in her heart, so she pulled Su Zixuan inside.

Su Zixuan had originally wanted to stop them, but seeing that Li Shiyun was in high spirits, she gave up on the idea. Today, Shang Shu Manor's group had come to meet with the temple and had already made an appointment with them.

Li Shiyun advanced along the sound of the music. She wanted to find the source of the sound, but she didn't know the danger that had quietly arrived behind her.

The two hulks gradually approached, looked at the two ladies in front of them, exchanged a glance, and then quickly walked forward.
