"Aunt Gu," Dongfang Yu quickly said to Dongfang Mei. He then glared at Xi Muxue and said, "There's nothing we can do to bring back the child Mu Xue lost. I don't want to pursue this any further. Moreover, it will be very difficult for her to get pregnant again now that she's missing an ovary. According to the rules of the Dongfang family, women who can't have children cannot continue to stay in the Dongfang family. Xi Muxue and I have neither gotten a marriage certificate nor had a wedding ceremony, so our marriage is basically invalid. I don't want to—"

"Whether or not you want to end your marriage with Xi Muxue is your own business," Dongfang Mei quickly said to Dongfang Yu. "Our main problem now is that Xi Muru intended to get rid of the baby in Mu Xue's stomach. She was targeting the heir of the Dongfang family. Xi Muru herself is pregnant with a bastard child. Those are heavy sins against the Dongfang family and goes against everything we live by."

Dongfang Yu and Dongfang Jun did not say a word. Dongfang Mei smiled proudly and then shouted, "Men, bring this woman to the Dongfang family's temple and let her kneel there. Wait for Ah Mo to come back before you punish her!"

"But Sister-in-Law has a fever," Dongfang Jun shouted angrily to his mother. "Mom, at least let Liu Hao administer the medicines first. No matter what she did, she is sick and needs urgent medical attention."

Dongfang Mei glared fiercely at her son, dismissing him for meddling in other people's business. She sighed softly and said, "Ah Mo will definitely blame him if he finds out. All right then, Liu Hao, give Mu Ru her medicines. Ah Min can send her to the temple later." She glared at the two security guards who walked in. "Aren't you going to take her away?"

"No. I can walk on my own," Mu Ru said. She slid down from the sofa and glanced at Dongfang Yu who was standing near her. She turned around and straightened her back. She followed the two security guards out of the main hall and into the courtyard. She walked towards the ancient and eerie temple on the mountainside not far away.

Mu Ru had been married to the Dongfang family for almost three months, but she had been to the family temple for only three times. The first time was when she had married Dongfang Mo. It was the first day of the lunar calendar, and Dongfang Mei instructed her to go to the temple to offer incense to her deceased relatives.

The second time was after Xi Muxue became pregnant. Dongfang Mo instructed her to go to the temple to offer incense. It was customary to inform the ancestors of the good news through offering prayers and burning incense sticks.

This was the third time, but she no longer walked into the temple as the mistress of the Dongfang family. Instead, she walked into the temple as an unchaste and vicious woman.

The family temple was dark. Only the incense altar was lit with a small everlasting lamp. In the pitch-black night, the temple looked even more eerie and terrifying.

After Mu Ru was pushed in, the security guard locked the door outside. She groped her way around and finally found a corner. Tired and weak, she sat down.

Although the temple hall was cold, it was still warmer than the wine cellar. Her fever caused her to feel light-headed. She sat down and leaned against the wall. In less than two minutes, she fell into a daze and fell asleep again.

In her sleep, she thought she heard someone opening the door. Someone shouted, "First Young Madam." The voice sounded slightly familiar, but she was very tired to acknowledge it. She did not even have the strength to answer.

The voice faded, and the door was closed again.
