"You are my wife, why do I have to have something to do here?"
Sheng Lingtian is a martial artist with excellent hearing.
He had just reached the door of Chu's room when he heard Chu cursing him as a scumbag, saying that she must have been blind to have fallen for him!
He was furious!
"Why are you here if there's nothing wrong? Aren't you afraid that person in the West Garden will be angry with you?"
Chu took a sip of tea and said calmly.
"What's she getting angry about? I'm here to see my wife, what right does she have to be angry! But you! I didn't know you hated me so much now!"
After saying that, Sheng Lingtian suddenly reached out and grabbed Chu's wrist, questioning her through gritted teeth.
Chu shook off Sheng Lingtian's hand and said calmly:
"General, why make a fool of yourself? Since you've already heard it, why ask again and humiliate yourself?"
Isn't this how we are now, the way you've always wanted us to be?
"Does the General expect me to pester you relentlessly, or to cry and beg for your favor?"
Her sarcastic question infuriated Sheng Lingtian.
Sheng Lingtian stared at Chu Shi for a long time without saying a word, and finally turned around and left Chu Shi's room.
Once inside the courtyard, he coldly addressed Steward Xu:
"Send all the account books back to the West Garden!"
After saying that, Sheng Lingtian strode away.
"yes!"
Steward Xu glanced furtively at Madam Chu's door, then left with several account books in his arms...
Hearing about the account book in the room, Madam Chu raised an eyebrow and then chuckled.
I picked up a book and started leisurely reading while sipping my tea.
Inside, the charcoal fire burned brightly.
Outside the window, snowflakes were falling heavily, while inside, it was warm and cozy.
...
Sheng Lingtian stormed off to his study.
With a loud crash, he slammed the table down, shattering it into pieces.
He finally managed to persuade Mu Rou'er to hand over the management of the General's Mansion's household affairs back to Madam Chu. He thought back to how Madam Chu had previously refused to manage the household affairs because he was poor!
But now the Emperor has bestowed two very profitable shops upon the Sheng family. The money earned from these two shops each month is enough for the General's Mansion to live a wealthy life!
But why?
Why doesn't the Chu family want it?
Moreover, Madam Chu said that she must have been blind to have chosen him!
Yes, others might not know, but he did know that the Chu family had taken a liking to him and were devoted to following him.
It wasn't because he was so outstanding, but because the Chu family was truly "blind"...
Sheng Lingtian hurriedly went to the wall and reached out to twist a lamp holder next to him.
Then, a hidden door slowly opened to both sides...
Inside the hidden compartment were an incense burner and a statue of a deity.
This statue looks fierce and menacing; it doesn't look like a righteous god at all.
Two kneeling wooden dolls were placed in front of the statue.
The two dolls were incredibly lifelike; upon closer inspection, one could see some resemblance between their features and those of Chu Shi and Sheng Lingtian.
The little girl's eyes were covered with a black cloth, and her birth date and time were written on her body with cinnabar ink.
A few strands of hair were wrapped around her wrist.
The boy's birth date and time were also written on his body with cinnabar ink, and a few strands of hair were wrapped around his wrists.
This is an evil spell to bind a couple together, but the hair used to bind the bond has been broken.
That statue was an evil god named "Peach Blossom Sin".
Legend has it that this evil god was a lingering soul that remained in the world out of resentment and refused to dissipate.
Originally a bloodthirsty, cruel, and extremely violent demon lord, he was brought down by a female cultivator.
For this love, he resolutely relinquished his identity as the Demon Lord and transformed into the form she desired. He remained in the mortal realm, existing as an ordinary person.
However, the woman's heart was set on another cultivator, and she was unmoved by his true feelings, which enraged the Demon Lord, who forcibly bound her to his side.
The female admires a powerful male cultivator who is only one step away from achieving immortality.
Thus, he engaged in a fierce battle with the Demon Lord.
However, despite his considerable strength, the cultivator ultimately failed to achieve immortality and was unable to contend with the Demon Lord, nearly dying at his hands. In the end, the woman appeared, sacrificing her own life to give the male cultivator a chance to live.
The Demon Lord's attacks, which were originally meant to kill the male cultivators instantly, were all blocked by the woman, and the outcome was predictable.
The woman was devastated by the Demon Lord's death, leaving him heartbroken. The male cultivator, in utter despair, chose to self-destruct, perishing alongside the Demon Lord.
The Demon Lord's remnant soul lingered for hundreds of years. Tormented by the inner demon that caused his beloved woman to die at his hands, he gradually went mad and transformed into the Peach Blossom Sin.
If a man loves a woman but cannot have her, he only needs to offer his own blood and essence to the Peach Blossom Demon, and the Peach Blossom Demon will blind the woman's eyes, making her see only the man's good qualities.
She was slowly drawn to the man, gradually becoming captivated by his charm and unable to extricate herself...
Sheng Lingtian frowned when he saw that all the black hair on the wrists of the wooden puppet representing him and the Chu family had broken off.
He quickly tied his hair back on, lit incense and candles, and bowed to the statue of the deity.
The incense in the incense burner burned out very quickly after it was lit, as if something was desperately sucking it up.
Upon seeing this, Sheng Lingtian's lips curled into a wicked smile as he continued burning incense.
Sheng Lingtian stopped burning the incense in the burner only when it stopped burning out quickly.
Then, he picked up the dagger on the incense table and slashed his wrist.
Blood flowed out instantly, but strangely, it disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Sheng Lingtian was not surprised by this situation at all. He simply pressed on the wound on his wrist to make the blood flow out faster.
The bleeding stopped only when his lips turned white and his body swayed slightly.
Sheng Lingtian looked at the statue and saw some bloodstains on the corner of its mouth.
This already ferocious and terrifying statue now appears extremely eerie...
"Thank you so much, expert!"
Upon seeing this, Sheng Lingtian knelt on the prayer mat again and kowtowed to the statue of the deity.
Then Sheng Lingtian got up, closed the hidden compartment, and turned to leave the study.
In the East Garden, Chu Shi, who was reading a book, suddenly felt a little dizzy.
She stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the snowflakes drifting outside, her expression somewhat dazed...
