"But now, will Wanwan be safe?"
Madam Ma looked worried. Anyone with ulterior motives can spread rumors however they want. Even if Madam Chu spread rumors that were favorable to Sheng Wanwan first, it was inevitable that other rumors would follow.
"Wanwan's abilities have been exposed, and this is the best method I can think of! As for the rest, we can only take it one step at a time!"
Madam Chu sighed, saying that if she could, she would rather her daughter never reveal her identity and just live a normal, ordinary life, which would be the safest thing for her.
"You can spread the word that Wanwan cured your infertility, and many noble ladies who are unable to have children will come to you seeking a son. As long as Wanwan cures them, she will become famous! Those noble families will then owe Wanwan a favor."
That way, if anything really happens to Wanwan, there will be more influential people to protect her!
Chu frowned and pondered.
"Yes! I also think this is the safest way. You don't know, several high-ranking officials in the court have had difficulty having children, and some people have even asked me how they got pregnant. I didn't dare to tell them it was Wanwan."
I'll go find them right now and have them come to the General's Mansion for a look!
As she spoke, Ma stood up and walked outside.
Not long after Madam Ma left, someone from the palace arrived. The eunuch delivering the imperial decree had a smile on his face. When he saw Madam Chu, he said with a beaming smile: "When Her Highness Princess returned to the palace today, she told His Majesty and Consort Rou about how Miss Wanwan saved Her Highness Princess."
Consort Rou was very grateful, and His Majesty was greatly impressed. He specially ordered his servant to convey a decree inviting the Lady and Miss Sheng Wanwan to the palace tomorrow.
Upon hearing this, Madam Chu smiled and took out a silver ingot from her bosom, placing it in Eunuch Li's hand.
"Thank you for your hard work, Eunuch. I will bring Wanwan to the palace first thing tomorrow morning! But Eunuch, what do you think of the Emperor's views on the rumors circulating in the streets?"
"Madam Sheng, I cannot fathom the Emperor's thoughts, but judging from his demeanor, he seems to have a positive view of Miss Wanwan!"
When Eunuch Li thought about how the Emperor suddenly showed a joyful expression when the little princess spoke of Sheng Wanwan's amazing qualities, he felt that the Emperor must really like Sheng Wanwan.
Although he couldn't fathom the origins of this affection, he knew that the Emperor was a stern and ruthless ruler.
Apart from His Highness the Crown Prince, he had never seen the Emperor so happy for any child, not even the little princess Si Ruier, who was rumored to be the Emperor's most beloved.
The Emperor was simply less strict with the frail Si Ruier, but even that aroused the jealousy of some people in the palace...
"Thank you for your guidance, Father-in-law!"
Upon hearing this, Madam Chu breathed a slight sigh of relief. As long as the Emperor harbored no ill will towards Sheng Wanwan, she could rest assured.
"Madam Sheng, you're too kind. It's what I should do! If there's nothing else, I'll return to the palace to report!"
As he spoke, Eunuch Li bowed and left the general's mansion.
Watching Eunuch Li's departing figure, Madam Chu frowned slightly. Although Eunuch Li said that the Emperor meant no harm to Sheng Wanwan, she still felt somewhat uneasy.
After all, serving a ruler is like serving a tiger; the emperor's thoughts are the most unpredictable.
Wanwan's abilities are already extraordinary. If the Emperor suddenly decides that keeping Wanwan around is a menace and insists on getting rid of her, then everything will be over.
"Mother, what are you thinking about?"
Sheng Wanwan appeared beside Chu Shi at some point, and seeing Chu Shi's frowning expression, asked with some curiosity.
"It's nothing. Someone from the palace just came and told us to go to the palace tomorrow. Wanwan, you must be careful what you say when you go to the palace tomorrow, understand?"
Chu came to her senses and looked at Sheng Wanwan, giving her earnest instructions.
"I know, Mother! Don't worry, I'll be careful!"
Sheng Wanwan said in a cute and innocent voice.
"Try not to reveal your space to anyone, but if your life is in danger, don't worry about your mother, just hide in your space and make sure you're safe, understand?"
Chu frowned, still worried, and gave her further instructions.
"I know, Mother, there's no need to be so nervous. It's alright! Wanwan can protect herself, and she can also protect Mother and brothers! If that old emperor is blind to our greatness, I'll take Mother and run away, and we won't care whether the world changes hands or not!"
Wanwan will take her mother and brothers... uh... oh right, and her maternal grandmother's family, to find a secluded place to live a free and carefree life!
Sheng Wanwan confidently tilted her head back and looked at Madam Chu.
With her abilities, she could easily lead a few people freely in and out of the palace and even the capital city of Yan.
As for what will happen to the world, that's none of her business.
Anyway, she has family to love and pamper her in this life, so it's fine if she doesn't travel back in time!
She knew her abilities were far too extraordinary in this world, but she wasn't afraid.
She has enough confidence and ability to deal with any potential dangers. Moreover, she has her own spatial ability; if all else fails, she can take her family and hide inside. Who can do anything to her then?
“Wanwan, Mother knows you’re capable, but that’s the palace, that place…”
Just as Chu was about to advise her baby to behave, she found that she couldn't open her mouth or move her body before she could finish speaking.
"Hehehe... Mother, you don't understand the affairs of our Xuanmen sect. I said we're not in any danger, and I mean it. Mother, believe me!"
As Sheng Wanwan spoke, she flicked her finger, and Chu Shi regained her freedom.
Chu was stunned as she looked at her child. My goodness! Wanwan's inner thoughts were indeed true. Is this the power of a Xuanmen master?
Ordinary people...
No... she's not exactly an ordinary person!
She was a martial arts expert, yet she was so easily defeated by Wanwan!
Chu swallowed hard. She suddenly realized that she had been thinking about protecting Wanwan, but now it seemed that it was Sheng Wanwan who was protecting their whole family!
“Wanwan, you…” Madam Chu opened her mouth, but didn’t know what to say. She realized that she still knew too little about Sheng Wanwan; this child had too many secrets.
"Mother, don't worry, no matter who I was before, in this life I am your daughter! Your own daughter!"
"She's your own daughter who can protect you and make your life worry-free!" Sheng Wanwan smiled, her eyes crinkling.
She was born by her mother, and she still remembers the circumstances of her birth.
So even if she has memories of her past life, she is still her mother's biological daughter!
Seeing the tears welling up in Sheng Wanwan's eyes, Madam Chu felt that she could stop being so tired!
She felt she could just sit back and win by following her youngest daughter...
