C4 She Was Glad That She Was Back.

“Is that so?” The corner of her eyes raised and her eyes were calm, as if nothing could attract her attention.

Su Mu’er’s gaze fell on her and she felt strange. The way the young lady treated the discussions of the outside world wasn’t like this.

Su Zijin’s lips curled up, “They can say whatever they want. What does it have to do with me? I can’t stop them.”

Su Mu’er wanted to say something, but Su Zijin’s words fell into her ears again, “Chu Junyi…” She paused, “What about him?”

“I heard that Crown Prince Chu hasn’t left his room for three days!” Su Mu’er couldn’t understand Su Zijin’s decision, “Young lady, didn’t you agree to it before? Why did you change your mind now?”

Su Mu’er had grown up together with Su Zijin, so she asked directly. No one else would dare to do so.

Su Zijin didn’t answer directly, but changed the topic, “Mu’er, everyone has to pay the price for their decisions.” She stopped talking after that.

She had already paid the price for her decision once. This time, she had to protect it no matter what.

It was late at night, and the cold moonlight shone in front of the window.

In the Imperial Palace’s study.

“Really? She doesn’t want to?”

“Yes, I heard that she rejected it!”

The Emperor didn’t say anything after that. He lowered his head and thought for a while. Then, he seemed to have thought of something, “Since that’s the case, then don’t blame me. Send the decree!”

"Yes."

...

The next morning.

Su Zijin was still practicing martial arts in the martial arts field when Su Mu'er trotted over and greeted her from afar, "Miss! Miss!"

Su Zijin stopped her sword and walked towards her, "What is it?"

"Madam wants you to go to the Southern Rock Mountain Monastery with her."

"Return?"

"Miss, you were sick a few days ago and didn't recover for a long time. So, Madam went to the Southern Rock Mountain Monastery to pray for you." Su Mu'er urged Su Zijin to walk faster as she explained.

This reminded Su Zijin that this was indeed the case. She thought that she had been sick for a long time when she was reborn.

Su Zijin returned to her room and changed her clothes before following Su Mu'er to the gate.

Su Zijin went to the morning assembly early in the morning and hadn't come back yet.

When she arrived, Shen Xiyue had been waiting for her for a while.

"Mother."

"Let's go." Shen Xiyue smiled and held her hand as they walked out the door.

Su Zijin was stunned for a moment as she looked at her hand.

The mother and daughter went to the Southern Rock Mountain together. It seemed that they were sincere when they said that they wanted to go up the mountain by foot.

Su Zijin followed Shen Xiyue down the carriage and walked up together. They were silent along the way.

She had practiced martial arts since she was young, so this was nothing. However, Shen Xiyue was tired, but she was willing to do it.

After walking for about half an incense stick of time, they arrived at the gate of the monastery. The incense offerings here were quite strong. There were many people coming and going. They were either here to pray or to return the favor.

Su Zijin didn’t believe it, but she followed her mother this time. She didn’t say anything and didn’t even look at him.

“Mother, I’ll go out for a walk.”

She told Su Mu’er to stay behind. Shen Xiyue nodded, “Don’t go too far.”

“Okay.”

Su Zijin left the main hall alone and headed to the left.

“Miss.” A voice sounded behind her, “Remember to not show off too much. You can easily break!”

Su Zijin’s heart stopped. She quickly stopped and turned around. There was an elder standing a few steps ahead of her. It was the abbot of the monastery.
