hehe!
More than a thousand taels of silver? Sheng Lingtian came from a peasant family and had a meager income. He simply couldn't afford such an expensive item with the meager salary he received from the imperial court!
Mu Rou'er was just an ordinary county magistrate's daughter, and Rongshui County was a poor county.
She didn't have anything of value on her at all.
Willing to spend over a thousand taels of silver to buy a gift for his daughter?
Do they really think she's stupid? This is clearly using her as a pretext to openly embezzle her dowry.
Chu sneered inwardly, but showed no sign of it on her face.
Sheng Lingtian now wields immense power; she must be patient...
She wants to take back everything that belongs to her, and she wants them to spit out what they have taken from her.
She also wanted to find out the truth about her father's death and her elder brother's leg injury!
"Husband, I just wanted to put it on our daughter later, it's not that I don't like it!"
Chu smiled gently and gave Sheng Wanwan the jade pendant that was placed aside, which she then hung around her neck.
Seeing this, Sheng Lingtian was very satisfied with Chu's docility, and turned to leave with Mu Rou'er in his arms.
Mu Rou'er glanced at Chu Shi, her smugness and provocation were all too obvious.
Chu lowered her head, concealing the dark emotions in her eyes.
"Hmph! The daughter of a mere county magistrate."
She calls him "Madam" and "Sister" all day long—does she deserve it?
Zhu Cui, Chu's dowry maid, watched the two walk away and said angrily.
"Zhu Cui, don't say such things again! The Chu family is not what it used to be. If Sheng Lingtian wants to punish you!"
I couldn't stop her, you know that?
Chu warned Zhu Cui in a suppressed voice.
Zhu Cui was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening and immediately shut her mouth.
"Madam, I didn't mean it, I was just angry for a moment! I..."
"No need to say more, I know! Zhucui, I'm tired, you can all leave! I want to rest for a while!"
Two more young masters have returned. I told them they don't need to come and pay their respects; I'm tired. If they want to see their sister, they can come first thing tomorrow morning!
As she spoke, Chu rubbed her temples wearily. Zhu Cui quickly helped Chu lie down and then covered her with a blanket.
"Yes, Madam, please rest well and don't worry too much."
Granny Zhao has gone to the small kitchen to cook bird's nest porridge for you. I'll go down and tell Granny Zhao right away, and ask her to keep it warm on the stove after she finishes cooking.
When Madam wakes up, call for me, and I'll bring it to you!
After saying this, Zhu Cui waved her hand and led her maids and servants to close the door and leave.
The room quieted down, and Madam Chu looked at the sleeping baby in the swaddling clothes and sighed softly.
"Wan'er, your father doesn't love you! But your mother will love and cherish you."
"All that dowry is going to be left to my daughter; nobody is allowed to touch it!"
As she spoke, Chu lay down next to Sheng Wanwan and closed her eyes.
Wanwan's innermost thoughts were that she was destined to die at birth.
She's going to stay by her daughter's side now and see who can take Wanwan's life from her hands!
...
Night falls, the stars twinkle, and the moon shines brightly.
Sheng Wanwan was sleeping soundly in her crib...
"Wanwan! Wanwan!"
In her dazed state, she heard someone calling her.
She opened her eyes and looked around.
A huge human head was suspended in mid-air. That head was none other than Sheng Wanwan's master, Wuyouzi.
She instantly realized that she was dreaming.
This is Wuyouzi's dream-entering technique.
In the dream, she was still the same as before, standing in the peach blossom forest wearing a snow-white cultivation robe.
The ten-mile peach blossom forest is breathtakingly beautiful, with pink peach petals fluttering down, creating a scene reminiscent of a fairyland that is truly enchanting.
"Master? How dare you show your face here? Look what you've done to me!"
Sheng Wanwan's tone revealed strong dissatisfaction!
Wuyouzi, with her large head, gave an awkward smile and quickly tried to comfort her.
"Hehe... Wanwan, you know, Master didn't mean it! Master just couldn't bear to part with you and wanted to spend more time with you!"
Who knew this accident would happen!
Please forgive your master!
Upon hearing this, Sheng Wanwan rolled her eyes and retorted helplessly:
"What difference does it make whether I forgive or not? I'm already dead..."
"Didn't I just let you be reborn in another world?"
"You silly girl, although your physical body has been destroyed and your original spirit is reduced to a mere remnant soul, you are still my last disciple. I will never let you simply vanish into nothingness!"
So, in the instant I ascended to immortality, I sealed a wisp of your remnant soul into a storybook.
"Wuyouzi said smugly!"
"You still dare to talk? You want to drag me into a storybook? What's the point? To let me live my whole life in a storybook?"
Sheng Wanwan said with dissatisfaction.
"This is not just a storybook! It's also a small world. The storybook is just a medium connecting to that small world."
The people in there are all real.
Sending you there is also to let you change the fate of the original world!
Wuyouzi stroked his beard with a profound expression and said.
"The fate of the original world? Wasn't the ending of the original world already written? In the grand finale, the male and female protagonists got together and lived a happy and fulfilling life!"
Sheng Wanwan was puzzled!
"Hmph! They're living a happy and fulfilling life, but what about that world..."
"Sigh! Never mind, heavenly secrets cannot be revealed!"
"Remember to do good deeds and accumulate merit there, and use those merits to repair your soul."
Once your soul is fully repaired, you'll be able to return to the modern world!
Sheng Wanwan didn't care about Wuyouzi's hesitation. She only wanted to know which path she should take in the future!
