Chu Chunsheng shut his mouth indignantly.

However, his nostrils were flaring with anger, which showed just how furious he was.

Liu Ruyu sat down, her heart icy cold: "Yaya, from now on..."

“Godmother, you don’t need to comfort me. I never had any hope for them. Before, I had my grandmother, so I wasn’t alone. After I saw what Princess Qu Ling was like, I knew what kind of people they were. So I’m really not disappointed about what happened today.”

Chu Yaya interrupted Liu Ruyu and instead comforted her.

There's really nothing to be disappointed about, because she never had any hope in the first place.

Liu Ruyu nodded: "Yes, you're right."

Is this child really not sad?

On their way here, they had already recognized Chu Yaya as their goddaughter.

She became even more attentive to the child.

Seeing Chu Yaya so calm and composed today, my admiration for her has only grown stronger.

But when I look at my own child, I always worry about whether she is being wronged.

"It's their loss that they're like this. They'll definitely regret it in the future, because my sister is so outstanding!"

Chu Xun, full of youthful vigor, waved his arms and shouted, "Sister, let's work hard and cheer them on, let them see how excellent you are!"

Why should such a good older sister be treated so harshly by those people?

"I will."

Chu Yaya said quietly.

However, she wasn't trying to make Prince Rong and his wife regret their actions; she wanted to climb higher and higher!

Then make Prince Rong and his wife pay the price!

Princess Qu Ling must die for causing the death of her beloved grandmother; she is already doomed for murdering the eldest prince.

But Prince Rong and his wife were not innocent either.

If they hadn't failed to properly discipline their children, how could they have raised a princess like Qu Ling who treats human life so lightly?

Therefore, Prince Rong and his wife must pay the price for this!

Even if the incident involving the eldest prince doesn't affect the Rong Prince's Mansion, she believes that since the Rong Prince and his wife were able to raise such a child, they can't be completely helpless in other matters.

So she had to climb up.

Keep trying, keep trying.

Then……

He personally tried them and sent them to prison!

But she doesn't plan to tell her godparents about this, so as not to make them worry.

"Godfather, I want to join the army."

Chu Yaya said seriously.

There are only two quickest ways to climb the social ladder—one is to climb into bed, and the other is to join the army.

She will climb to the top with integrity and justice to judge them!

"Join the army? Yaya, but there are never any women in the army," Chu Chunsheng said.

There are women in the army.

But what use is a woman in the army? He, as her godfather, couldn't very well tell his daughter that, could he?

Chu Yaya pursed her lips and said, "I'll go find the Crown Prince and see if he has any ideas."

"The Crown Prince?"

"You know the Crown Prince?"

"The Crown Prince has a very good relationship with the Shen family of Lotus Village, and they have maintained contact for many years. The gout wine in the capital is made by the Shen family. I also have a good relationship with the Shen family."

Mentioning the Shen family softened Chu Yaya's icy demeanor somewhat.

Chu Chunsheng and Liu Ruyu exchanged a glance, both somewhat surprised.

"It's possible, but you'll have to wait. The Crown Prince is currently confined to the Eastern Palace, and you can only go to him after the matter of the Eldest Prince is settled. Besides... Ya Ya, have you thought this through? If the Crown Prince takes action, then everyone else will consider you part of the Crown Prince's faction... You'll be taken care of when you join the army, is that really what you want?"

Chu Chunsheng asked very clearly and explicitly.

It was also because he could tell that his goddaughter wasn't the type to take shortcuts.

He was just worried that Ya Ya had never been to the capital before and wouldn't know about these things, so he planned to explain.

Chu Yaya said, "Godfather, don't worry. If the Crown Prince has no other choice but to leave no trace of himself, I won't ask him for help."

If she wants revenge, she wants it to be done openly and honestly.

Chu Chunsheng greatly appreciated her answer.

So he happily patted Chu Yaya on the shoulder, grinning excitedly: "Well done, you're just like me, no wonder you're my daughter."

Others: ...

Liu Ruyu retorted bluntly, "You really have the nerve to say that."

Should we go along with him?

Which eye saw that?

And this girl has only been officially recognized for less than a month, right? She still resembles him.

Really.

"I'm so proud of her, my daughter really makes me proud," Chu Chunsheng said happily.

——

The days passed quickly.

It's already mid-October, and the weather is gradually getting colder, especially in the mornings and evenings.

However, Chu Yaya would get up early every morning to practice martial arts with Chu Chunsheng, rain or shine.

Although Chu Yaya had never learned martial arts, she was raised by wolves since childhood and had excellent physical fitness.

He quickly learned most of Chu Chunsheng's skills.

Chu Chunsheng was even more pleased with his goddaughter, saying that Chu Yaya was a prodigy.

It's just a pity that I met him too late.

"Ya Ya, the Crown Prince has sent word that he wants to see you," Liu Ruyu said as she delivered the message.

Chu Yaya wiped her face, nodded, and went.

Liu Ruyu went to talk to Chu Chunsheng.

"Actually, I'm conflicted. I know Ya Ya has big ideas and her own thoughts. She's also capable, so joining the army is a good thing."

"But I'm worried about her future. She's already eighteen, and if she joins the army again... with Ya Ya's personality, she'll never come back unless she makes a name for herself. But it's too difficult for an ordinary person to make a name for themselves in the army."

"Unless she has some extraordinary encounter, won't she have to endure more than ten years? And then her marriage will be in trouble..."

Liu Ruyu was extremely worried.

Chu Chunsheng, however, was more optimistic: "You're overthinking it. Maybe our Yaya is just destined for a wonderful adventure."

As for marriage.

He's only just adopted this daughter, so he doesn't want to marry her off.

Let's talk about it later.

Moreover, those with good taste will naturally be attracted to Ya Ya. Why would Ya Ya marry someone without good taste?

"I can't explain it to you."

"What's there not to understand? Ya Ya hasn't gotten over her mother's death yet."

Chu Chunsheng sighed with regret.

Actually, the one who was most saddened and unable to let go of the old lady's death was Chu Yaya.

Although Chu Chunsheng also had deep feelings for his mother.

But they were separated for more than a decade. During that time, he gained brothers who would share life and death with him, a mentor who would go through fire and water for him, a beloved wife, and a son...

These intense emotions had already occupied most of Chu Chunsheng's heart.

Although losing his mother caused him pain and regret, it was not a cause for despair.

But for Chu Yaya, it wasn't like that.

Grandma Chu is Chu Yaya's only relative, her only affection, her only comfort and hope.

The only light went out.

Chu Yaya's heart was now completely black.

Moreover, in this girl's heart, she probably attributed the old lady's death to herself.

How could this girl easily let go of the death of her loved one?

"The verdict for Princess Qu Ling has been handed down, but I don't think Ya Ya seems happy..." Liu Ruyu murmured.
