On this day, Lu prepared the ceremony of five animals, took a group of followers and Fulan out of the city, ferry to Junshan, and went to the temple to pay homage to the gods and protect his husband from the danger that day.

After the sacrifice of the gods, my sister-in-law came out of the temple. When I went down the mountain, Fulan asked, "Sister-in-law, can the master be in the mountain? If I am there, I will go and see his old man."

The master's surname is Li, and he is a famous doctor in the world. Everyone calls him Li Yaoweng. When he was young, he worked as an imperial physician in the palace. Later, he left the palace and traveled around the world. While compiling medical books, he practiced medicine among the people. Many years ago, he went to Dongting and loved the mountains and rivers here and built a hut in Junshan. Fulan's father admired his name and came to visit him in person. He gradually had some contact. Seeing that the princess was young, he showed interest in his own herbs and liked her intelligence, he accepted her as half of his disciples. In his spare time, he taught her some medical skills.

When Fulan got married at the beginning of the year, his master was still in Junshan.

Lu smiled and said, "It wasn't long before you got married, Yao Weng went down the mountain. I don't know when he will return."

Fulan said, "Sister-in-law, please go back to the city first. I'll go to the master's place to see the medicine garden."

Lu knew the origin of his sister-in-law and Yao Weng, and nodded: "Okay. Then I'll go back to the city first, you'll come back soon."

Fulan agreed and watched Lu go down the mountain, following the mountain path to his master's residence.

This is a house hidden in the mountains, with bamboos as fences, several grass houses, and a large medicine garden behind it.

The master went down the mountain, but there was still a child servant named Ada here to take care of the medicine garden.

Ada is an orphan who was picked up by his master and was honest and busy at the back of the house. Suddenly, he saw the princess coming. He was very surprised and hurriedly put down his hoe and ran out to greet him.

Fulan told him not to care about himself. He came to the medicine garden and helped dry some fresh herbs. He was busy and unknowingly, half a day passed.

Mother Mu began to urge her to return to the city.

The sun was setting, and Fulan knew it was time to leave. She told Ada to take care of the medicine garden and wash his hands. The group went down the mountain. When passing by an old cypress, the maid Zhuyu smiled and said, "Master Weng, they said that this old cypress is a sacred tree and can communicate with others. Many people came here to worship it. Let's go and worship it as well."

The old cypress is deeply rooted in the mountain walls, with tangled roots and lush branches and leaves. For thousands of years, the mountain wind has blown strongly and it remains unmoved.

Fulan stopped and looked away for a moment.

"It's getting late, go down the mountain."

After she said that, she withdrew her gaze and turned around and continued to walk down the mountain steps.

There is a local legend that the old cypress plant, which was born on cliffs in the middle of Junshan, was planted by Xiangjun and Mrs. Xiang himself when they opened the sky. It was the same age as Junshan and could protect the marriage of the world.

Among the people who were traveling with me, several younger maids were a little moved. Unexpectedly, the princess was not interested, so she had to give up and followed her down the mountain.

When the guards at the foot of the mountain rolled the boat, sent Fulan and his group to the shore, and took the car back to the city, it was already time to hold the lights.

Fulan learned about it as soon as she entered the palace.

Xie Changgeng quelled the rebellion of King Jiangdu and sent someone to send a letter to Mu Xuanqing, saying that he would arrive in Changsha soon.

Lu received a letter from Fulan to return home, and hurried to her aunt's boudoir with a letter, found her, and smiled.

"Lan'er, my brother-in-law said in his letter that he came here to worship his father. Of course, besides worshiping his father, I guess he would take you back."

After only half a year of marriage, my sister-in-law returned to Changsha without caring about the distance. Although it was caused by Emperor Junshan who asked her to dream, she was worried about Brother Wang, so she rushed back in person. However, from the mouths of Zhuyu and other maids, Lu knew from the mouths of Xie's mother and not easy to get along with. When my sister-in-law left that day, she had an upset with Xie's mother, and Xie's mother even mentioned the matter of taking a concubine.

The newlyweds have only been more than half a year and the husband is gone, so the bride goes back to her parents' home despite her mother-in-law's obstruction. Even if there is a reason for the matter, in the eyes of the world, the bride is unreasonable.

The husband has been safe and he is not seriously injured, but the sister-in-law refuses to mention it back.

Lu suspected that she was angry because of the matter of taking a concubine mentioned by Xie’s mother.

He was afraid that his sister-in-law would be too careless, and although he didn't mention a word in front of her, Lu was still worried about her, fearing that she would get evil from the Xie family and even lose the heart of her newlywed husband.

When Xie Changgeng returns home, if he gets weird and doesn't come to pick her up, my sister-in-law will probably be a little difficult to do.

It is naturally impossible not to go back. If you just go back by yourself, you will lose face again. And in the future, the situation may be even more unfavorable at the Xie family.

She was secretly worried. When she was going to thank Emperor Junshan today, she also prayed for her sister-in-law.

Unexpectedly, all my wishes come true. When I came back, I received such good news. Why didn’t she be happy about it?

She handed over the letter Xie Changgeng wrote to Mu Xuanqing.

"Lan'er, look!"

But Fulan did not answer the letter, and there was no look of joy on her face.

Lu asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you? My brother-in-law is coming to pick you up. Isn't this a good thing?"

Fulan asked the maids to go out, and when only he and Lu were left in the house, Fang said, "Sister-in-law, I won't go back."

"I want to leave and break up with the Xie family."

Lu was shocked. At first, he thought he had heard it wrong. Seeing that his little sister looked solemn and didn't seem to be talking nonsense, he said in surprise: "What's wrong with you? You have been married for more than half a year and you are going to divorce? Didn't you focus on Xie Jialang before? Besides, after you got married, you may not even say a word, so why did you suddenly break off the relationship?"

While Fulan was silent, Lu suddenly remembered the maid's words and hurriedly advised: "Lan'er, my sister-in-law didn't say anything before, because she was afraid that you would be too careless. I also heard your maid say that your mother-in-law intends to pick up the daughter of Qi. If you don't want to, just wait until you see your brother-in-law and just talk to him. You've gotten married. If you don't nod, even if he has a deep relationship with the girl of Qi, he must not be able to ignore the face of our Changsha country. He will definitely carry someone in the door."

She held the hand of her sister-in-law and whispered: "Lan'er, listen to me, you are the mistress of the Xie family. As long as you don't let go, people will never be able to enter the door. With your appearance and use some means, why worry about not being able to stop your brother-in-law's heart? Besides, there is our Changsha country. Although the country is small, your status is there! It's just a woman, why would you be so disheartened!"

Fulan said: "Sister-in-law, I understand everything you said, but I want to break away from the Xie family. It's not because of the daughter of the Qi family, but because I have changed my mind and look down on the one named Xie, and I don't want to waste my life in the Xie family anymore."

"I have no plans to go back this time. I will not change my mind anymore. I beg my sister-in-law to forgive my willfulness and fulfill my willfulness, and do not persuade me to go back."

Her tone was still calm, but her attitude was very firm.

Lu looked at Mu Fulan in surprise, and in a trance, he felt a sense of strangeness.

This is not like the idea that a sixteen-year-old girl should have.

The little sister-in-law she remembers is gentle and chaste.

I remember that on the eve of her marriage at the beginning of the year, I slept with her with her. Her nervousness, expectation and shyness are still vivid in my mind.

Lu really didn't know what happened to her in just over half a year, so she made such a decision?

She seemed to have grown up suddenly and was no longer the queen of the Mu family she knew well.

"Lan'er..."

Lu was in a dilemma and hesitated.

"It's okay if you want to break away from the Xie family. If you really don't want to stay in the Xie family anymore, my sister-in-law will naturally not force you to go back. But this is not a trivial matter and it's not that easy. Although your mother-in-law mentioned taking a concubine, the person did not come in. Even if she entered, this is not an excuse for us to divorce. What's more, this is the marriage that the father ordered for you back then, which concerns the safety of the Yangtze River Waterway and my Dongting. How can we speak to him?"

The riot of the vassal kings, which had lasted for many years and had not yet completely stopped, began when Empress Liu took power. As a result, various places were in turmoil and uneasy. Many vassal states were either ambitious or involuntarily involved. At the most, more than ten countries were involved.

Since ancient times, thieves have emerged from both sides of the Yangtze River. Dongting is surrounded by the Yangtze River in the north and connected to the four rivers of Xiang, Zi, Yuan, Li and Miluo in the west. The waterways are connected in all directions, which is more beneficial to the thieves. When wars outside, riots are constantly occurring in Dongting.

Three years ago, the old King of Changsha had a premonition that he might soon be alive. When he was there, he could still use his past power to shock the world, but if he was gone and the current situation was chaotic, he might one day affect Changsha. His son Mu Xuanqing would probably not be able to support the situation alone.

At that time, the nineteen-year-old Xie Changgeng had gathered people to purge the Yangtze River where thieves were everywhere, firmly controlled the upstream waterway, and also controlled the transportation of grain from the imperial court.

The old Changsha king received the help of Xie Changgeng when he was suppressing a thief who had been harming a place bordering Changsha for many years. The two met once.

This young man with a low background, outstanding ability and behavior was very particular, and he was deeply impressed by him and was determined not to be something in the pool.

His eyes finally fell on Xie Changgeng.

It seemed as if there was a connection between me, at this moment, Xie also came to ask for marriage.

The marriage was settled naturally.

The thirteen-year-old daughter of the Mu family in Changsha was promised to Xie Changgeng, the 19-year-old leader of the Yangtze River.

Soon, Xie was recruited by the court by the court for the recommendation of the King of Changsha, and was transformed into the governor of Jiangling.

At that time, the King of Changsha passed away, and Xie Changgeng was promoted through military achievements. In just three years, he became the youngest military governor in his history, which was eye-catching.

Not to mention anything else, just from the marriage itself, for Xie or Changsha, it is a good marriage that each has gained.

Xie Changgeng entered the officialdom, and Changsha was as expected by the old Changsha king, and there was peace and safety in all four realms.

My sister-in-law has this concern, why doesn’t Fulan understand?

She said: "Sister-in-law, you don't have to speak, I will tell him. If he agrees by himself, it will not affect the safety of my Dongting waters. Can you do it?"

At this moment, the door was pushed open.

Fulan turned her head and saw her brother Mu Xuanqing sitting on the chariot and stopping at the door, with an angry look on her face.

"A sister! The Xie family bullies people too much! How long has it been so long that they dare to humiliate you! The person surnamed Xie is a giant thief, how can he deserve you! You don't have to worry. No matter how useless a brother is, he will not let you be bullied like this!"
