Chapter 578
When Mrs. Xie heard the movement behind her, she immediately stopped in her tracks. Seeing that her daughter had slapped Lu Zhiwei until the corners of her mouth were bleeding, she immediately went to pull her, and reprimanded her with a straight face, "How did I teach you? When did you become like a fool?" Like a street shrew?"

Unconvinced, Sun Xiaowu looked at Mrs. Xie stubbornly, with reddened eyes, and said, "She said that to you just now, I just can't stand it!"

Mrs. Xie was very moved, but her face was still stern, and she continued to teach, "No matter what others say, you can't do it yourself. Are the maids and women around you just for decoration? Let's not talk about it With your current status, if you become a princess in the future, you will go up and fight with others in person, that will not only lose your own face, but also the face of the royal family!"

Sun Xiaowu also realized his mistake at this moment, but he was still stubborn and refused to admit his mistake.

Seeing her daughter desperately holding back her tears, Mrs. Xie could only sigh helplessly in her heart.

Li Meier immediately stepped forward to smooth things over for the mother and daughter, took Sun Xiaowu's hand and said, "Xiao Wu, you were really impulsive just now, madam did it for your own good, please apologize to madam."

Sun Xiaowu hesitated for a while, then lowered his head and said softly, "Mother, I know I was wrong."

Only then did Xie's face soften a little, "You will reflect on it when you get back."

Seeing that Mrs. Xie had calmed down, Li Meier quickly pulled Sun Xiaowu aside again.

Over there, Lu Zhiwei seemed frightened by Sun Xiaowu's slap, and didn't continue to yell, but just glared at Xie's Li Meier and the others with vicious and resentful eyes.

Mrs. Xie gave her a disgusted look, and told the women to take her away quickly.

A group of people walked out of the grove and came to the mountain gate again, where many people still gathered.

Xie asked the guards to open the way ahead, and the group returned to the temple.

But before they had walked halfway, they heard the excited cry of a pilgrim behind them, "The mountain road is cleared! The mountain road is cleared! Someone has gone up the mountain!"

Li Meier and his party immediately turned their heads away, with a hint of excitement on their faces.

Mrs. Xie ordered a few guards to go over to check on the situation. Taking advantage of Mrs. Xie's inattention, Sun Xiaowu dragged Li Meier forward again, "Mother, Sister Mei and I also went to check."

Xie didn't even have time to stop them, so he had to let the guards quickly follow.

Lu Zhiwei, who had been firmly held by the two wives, also had a glint of hope in her eyes at this moment. She fixed her eyes on the stone steps up the mountain, hoping to see the person she wanted to see there.

Sun Xiaowu ran very fast, and when the crowd was pushing forward, he also pulled Li Meier to the front.

The two soon saw a group of people running quickly towards the mountain.

Li Meier's eyes were sharp, and she saw Jiang Shanqing and Zhou Muyi running in the front at a glance.

She was very happy in an instant, waved her hands vigorously and shouted: "Brother Shanqing, Brother Ayi, I am here!"

Jiang Shanqing's hearing is also really good. Among so many people and so many voices, he heard Li Mei'er's voice all at once, locked on her position, and ran as fast as possible.

When Li Meier was hugged by Jiang Shanqing, her head was still a little dizzy. She was very happy and didn't want to cry at all, but her eyes couldn't help getting wet, and she smelled the familiar scent of brother Shanqing. , said with some grievances: "Brother Shanqing, why are you here now?"

"I'm sorry! Meimei! I'm sorry, I'm late!" Jiang Shanqing hugged Li Meier, but kept saying sorry, and her blue eyes were slightly moist.

God knows how he survived this most of the day. In order to get rid of the boulder blocking the way, he almost had to get destructive gunpowder.But he was afraid that the mountain road would be blown up, and he would not be able to go up at that time. Finally, he relied on human levers to finally remove the boulder.

Fortunately, there were so many of them, and they were all young and middle-aged men with martial arts skills, so they were able to clear the mountain road in such a short time.

Zhou Muyi and Sun Xiaowu were a little embarrassed by the hug of the young couple as if no one was there. Zhou Muyi pretended to be looking at the scenery, but there were people all around, so there was no scenery to see.

The girl Sun Xiaowu was more honest, she couldn't help coughing and cleared her throat.

Only then did Li Meier remember that there was someone beside her, she let go of Jiang Shanqing a little embarrassedly, and quickly turned her head to wipe away the tears overflowing from the corners of her eyes.

Jiang Shanqing was thick-skinned, and his expression was still calm. He didn't let go of Li Meier's hand, looked her up and down and asked, "Are you hurt?"

Li Meier didn't want to make Jiang Shanqing worry, so she shook her head quickly, "I'm fine, and everyone is fine, mother and grandmother are still in the temple."

Hearing this, Jiang Shanqing finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then let's go and bring mother and grandmother back, and then go home." Jiang Shanqing didn't ask Li Meier what happened in the temple, he just wanted to take his family and get out of this place as soon as possible.

"Sister Mei, people are coming from my house!" Sun Xiaowu, who had been awkwardly beside Li Meier, suddenly brightened his eyes, and waved desperately at the mountain road, "Daddy! Here! We are here!"

On the earl's mansion, it was Sun Yaoxian who first realized that something was wrong.

On weekdays, as long as the yamen has nothing serious to do, Sun Yaoxian will go back home to have lunch with his wife.But today when he came back at noon, he was told that his wife and daughter had not returned from Tantuo Temple.

He asked the servants in the courtyard, and learned that his wife had gone out early in the morning, and it stands to reason that she should be back before noon.

Sun Yaoxian waited for another hour, but still did not see his wife come back, so he guessed that something must have happened in Tantuo Temple, so he immediately called the servants in the mansion and hurried to Tantuo Temple.

When he got there, he knew that the mountain road up the mountain was closed, and all the pilgrims in Tantuo Temple were trapped inside and could not get out.

But speaking of him, he was lucky. Not long after he got up the mountain, the big rock blocking the mountain road was moved away by Jiang Shanqing and others.Only then did he get to the mountain gate smoothly.

When Sun Xiaowu saw his own father, he was naturally very excited. He rushed to hug his father's arm, crying and laughing.

Sun Yao was relieved to see that his daughter was fine, but he quickly asked again: "Xiao Wu, where is your mother? Is she okay?"

Seeing his father's nervous appearance, Sun Xiaowu felt a little apprehensive, thinking that his father and his mother were true love, and she was completely accidental!
"Father, don't worry, mother is fine, nothing happened!" Sun Xiaowu replied a little depressed, and then pointed to the back, "Here, isn't mother right there?"

Sun Xiaowu pointed at it, but was stunned. The Xie family and his party who were standing there had disappeared.
