"General, actually, if you want me to take the position of the mistress of the General's Mansion, besides divorcing my wife, there are other ways..."
As Mu Rou'er spoke, she leaned close to Sheng Lingtian's ear, her breath sweet as orchids.
"no!"
Sheng Lingtian understood the meaning behind Mu Rou'er's words and was immediately enraged.
He shoved Mu Rou'er away abruptly, his eyes filled with gloom.
"Why not? Could it be that you've fallen for that woman? That's right! She's so beautiful, and she's willing to be a stay-at-home wife for you, so it's understandable that you like her!"
Men, I understand!
However, Sheng Lingtian, don't forget your place!
Mu Rou'er straightened her clothes and glared angrily at Sheng Lingtian.
"Of course I remember my place. How could I possibly like her? Can't you see how I treat you?"
But now is not the time to kill her.
Don't let her current status as an ordinary woman fool you; before marrying me, she was a fearsome female deputy general on the battlefield.
Do you think she'll die so easily? What if she doesn't? And the investigation leads back to you...
Sheng Lingtian said calmly.
"What can we do? We can't divorce her! We can't kill her! Are we just going to let her stand in the position of the general's wife? What about me? Am I, a princess, destined to be a concubine for the rest of my life?"
Mu Rou'er said indignantly.
She was originally the daughter of the late emperor and Consort Jin, and her status was much more noble than that of the Chu family!
But now, she gets laughed at every time she goes out to a banquet, and she's had enough...
"Rou'er, if you want to achieve great things, you must endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens!"
Otherwise, your identity will be easily exposed! If it is exposed, even if you are the Empress Dowager's own daughter, you will be abandoned!
For the sake of the children's future, Rou'er, you must be more patient..."
Sheng Lingtian said earnestly.
Upon hearing this, Mu Rou'er gritted her teeth and clenched her hands.
"Sheng Lingtian, you'd better be sparing that woman for the sake of the children and me. Otherwise, even if I'm exposed and disliked by my mother, I will never let that woman or your children go..."
Sheng Lingtian raised an eyebrow, reached out and pulled Mu Rou'er into his arms, kissing her delicate chin.
"Of course! Without you, there would be no Sheng Lingtian today. Rest assured! I will never let you down..."
Mu Rou'er blushed upon hearing this, leaning against Sheng Lingtian's chest. Feeling the man's strong and powerful heartbeat, a sweet happiness rose in her heart.
"General, tonight I want..." Mu Rou'er said sweetly.
"Okay!" Sheng Lingtian said, and began to tear at Mu Rou'er's clothes with his large hands.
Just then, the door was kicked open, and more than a dozen masked men in black rushed in and lunged at the bed...
Sheng Lingtian shoved Mu Rou'er aside and quickly drew his longsword from beside the bed to block the incoming blade.
He stood up and began fighting with the man in black...
Mu Rou'er was terrified and immediately shouted, "Help! Help! There's an assassin!"
Seeing this, the men in black split into two groups: half to deal with Sheng Lingtian, and the other half to attack Mu Rou'er on the bed.
Mu Rou'er screamed in fright and grabbed a pillow from the bedside and threw it at him.
Throwing the pillow at the group of men in black had no effect whatsoever.
Mu Rou'er was terrified.
She glanced at Sheng Lingtian and saw him struggling against the men in black. She tried to get up, but her legs were too weak to stand.
At that moment, a man in black arrived in front of them.
He raised his knife and slashed at Mu Rou'er, who closed her eyes in fright.
Suddenly, a long sword appeared, blocking the black-clad man's broadsword and forcing him back...
"You four, why did it take you so long to come out? If... if something happens to me, let's see how you explain it to your superiors!"
Mu Rou'er was secretly annoyed to see that her four bodyguards had arrived so late.
These bunch of useless trash!
The four guards didn't dare to utter a sound. Mu Rou'er had clearly told them to stay far away, which was why they were a little late in arriving.
Now they're blaming them instead...
But Mu Rou'er is a princess, so if she says they are wrong, then they are wrong.
They dared not say more and could only fight fiercely against the men in black.
At this moment, the guards in the mansion heard the sounds of fighting and quickly surrounded the area...
Sheng Lingtian breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Mu Rou'er was out of danger.
The four bodyguards were highly skilled in martial arts, and with the mansion having many guards, the man in black knew he was no match for them, so he used his lightness skill to escape outside!
However, Mu Rou'er's four bodyguards were extremely skilled in martial arts, and they gave them no chance to escape. In no time, they had wiped out all the men in black.
Only one man in black was left to question them.
"Speak! Who sent you?"
Mu Rou'er looked at the man in black who was beaten to the point of near death on the ground and asked angrily!
The man in black didn't speak, but let out a cold laugh. He then bit into the poison sac hidden in his mouth and died instantly.
Seeing this, Mu Rou'er stomped her feet in anger!
"Go and find out who wants to kill me!"
Mu Rou'er spoke to the four guards.
"yes!"
The four guards accepted the order and left...
Upon seeing this, Sheng Lingtian instructed the guards in the mansion to clean up the body.
The room reeked of blood and was uninhabitable for the time being.
"Rou'er, why don't you stay in another courtyard for the night? Someone just died here; it's bad luck to stay here!"
Sheng Lingtian's gentle voice rang in Mu Rou'er's ears.
Mu Rou'er looked up at him. "General, what about you? Aren't you going to stay with me?"
