Chu realized she had misspoke, smiled awkwardly, and quickly explained, "Hehehe... Mother was too happy! I misspoke! But it doesn't matter."

Wen Jin, you've been in a coma for almost three years. A lot has happened in our family. Sit down, I want to tell you..."

Chu took Sheng Wenjin's hand and sat him down at the table, telling him everything that had happened in the past three years in great detail.

They talked from morning till dusk before Chu finished telling Sheng Wenjin everything that had happened over the past three years.

Finally, he said, "Wen Jin, you have been clever and quick-witted since you were a child, and you are deeply loved by your father and grandfather."

However, during the year or so that you were in a coma, they never came to visit you, which is enough to prove that the Sheng family was just using you!

When Tianhun was alive, I wasn't too worried. He had experienced countless cycles of life and death and had become indifferent to many things.

But you are different. You grew up surrounded by the love and care of the Sheng family. If it weren't for that accident, they might still be doting on you. So, Wen Jin, if you still have feelings for them, your mother won't blame you!

Tomorrow is their execution day; you should go and see them off!

After finishing her sentence, Madam Chu reached out and hugged Sheng Wenjin again before getting up and leaving.

Sheng Wenjin stayed alone in the room for a long time before he came to his senses. He murmured softly, "Are they really that kind of people?"

Sheng Wenjin's heart was filled with doubt and struggle. His memories of his family were still those of a warm, harmonious time, full of love and care. In his mind, his father and grandfather were always dignified yet loving figures.

However, Chu's words were like a key, opening another door in his heart and allowing him to see a world he had never imagined.

He sat quietly for a long time in the twilight, his thoughts a jumbled mess. He remembered the love his father and grandfather had shown him when he was a child, those warm memories flooding back like a tide. But then he thought of their indifference during his coma, a contrast that he found unbearable.

But he knew that the Chu family wouldn't lie to him about this.

All night, Sheng Wenjin tossed and turned, unable to sleep. His heart was filled with contradictions and struggles; on the one hand, he could not accept this cruel reality, and on the other hand, he longed to know the truth.

Finally, dawn broke. Sheng Wenjin got up, determined to face reality, to bid farewell to his father and grandfather, and to find the answer in his heart.

The execution ground was bustling with people. Besides the Sheng family, many members of Prince Rui's faction were also captured, bringing the total number of people on the execution ground to several hundred.

Chu Shi, along with her four children, stood in front of the Sheng family.

"Hey! Look, the Chu family has brought the little goddess! The Chu family is quite good at having children! If it weren't for the little goddess's great contribution this time, the Chu family and her three children would have lost their lives, after all, it's a crime of treason!"

"Who can argue with that? Why would the Sheng family plot rebellion? They've already risen to the position of General Who Guards the Nation; what good would it do them to rebel?"

"You wouldn't know this! Everyone knows that General Sheng climbed to this position entirely because he climbed up to the Chu family and became their son-in-law. But this whole thing was a conspiracy from the very beginning. It's said that his approach to the Chu family and his marriage to a member of the Chu family were all arranged by Prince Rui. General Sheng was just a pawn of Prince Rui from start to finish! Think about it! Would he dare disobey Prince Rui? If his identity were exposed, would he still be alive?"

"That's true! The most pitiful one is Chu Shi. Alas! She'll have to raise four children alone from now on, and she'll be all alone in the future..."

"Alas! How could such a tragic love affair have happened to this female general who once commanded the battlefield? I heard that the Chu family had deep feelings for General Sheng, and now they must be heartbroken!"

"Isn't that right? Even in this situation, Madam Chu still came with her children to see them off, not afraid of the Emperor's wrath. She truly values ​​loyalty and righteousness..."

Chu listened to the crowd's discussions, feeling happy inside, but her face remained calm.

She actually came here today to watch the show; she wanted to see with her own eyes whether the Sheng family was afraid of their current predicament and whether they regretted it.

"You should kowtow to your elders; it will fulfill your kinship obligations in this life!"

Upon hearing this, Sheng Wenjin, Sheng Wenyu, and Sheng Wenze knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Sheng Lingtian one last time, and then stood up.

As for Sheng Wanwan, these awful relatives never showed her any love, so naturally she had no reason to complain.

kneel.

In fact, given her current status, no one would accuse her of being unfilial or disrespectful even if she didn't kneel, because no one would dare...

Sheng Lingtian's face was covered in dirt, his hair was disheveled, and he was in a sorry state. He looked at Chu Shi, who was dressed in white and was stunningly beautiful, like an immortal descending to earth. Then, thinking about his own current state, he felt regretful.

In fact, after marrying Chu, he was not without options. He could have taken Chu and the children and fled to a place where no one knew them, and lived a quiet life.

But his ambition prevented him from making that choice...

"Lan'er, I'm sorry!"

Sheng Lingtian naturally liked Chu Lan. It would be hard for any man not to love a beauty like Chu Lan, but his love couldn't compare to his ambition.

Chu Lan shook her head and said in a low voice, "Sheng Lingtian, there's no need to apologize! Even if you did, I wouldn't forgive you! I brought the children to see you today only because I was worried about their reputation. You should know that you don't deserve their kneeling!"

Chu Lan's words were cold and resolute, her eyes revealing her complete rejection of Sheng Lingtian. Sheng Lingtian lowered his head, speechless, knowing he had utterly lost Chu Lan and the children's hearts.

Sheng Wenyu and Sheng Wenze stood aside, silently watching this scene. Their hearts were filled with complex emotions, including resentment towards their father and sorrow for the decline of their family. But they also understood that all of this was caused by their father's own choices.

Sheng Wanwan watched all this coldly, feeling no affection whatsoever for these so-called relatives. She stood beside Chu Lan, silently supporting her mother.

Sheng Wenjin looked at Old Master Sheng, Old Madam Sheng and Sheng Lingtian and said softly, "Grandfather, Grandmother, Father, Wenjin remembers that when Wenjin was young, you all loved him very much. So why did you never come to see Wenjin after he fell into a coma? Do you know that Wenjin's coma was all Mu Rou'er's doing?"

Wen Jin's life was borrowed, and that life was taken by Prince Rui! Are you aware of this?

Early in the morning, Sheng Wanwan found him and told him the latest developments in the underworld's investigation. It turned out that the person who borrowed his life was Prince Rui, and now Prince Rui had been taken away for interrogation by the Black and White Impermanence of the underworld!
