Chu thought that ever since Sheng Wanwan was born, Sheng Lingtian had never given her a kind look.
They even said they were ignoring her to protect her and her children—that's all bullshit.
In an instant, her confused mind cleared up considerably.
All the goodwill I had just felt towards Sheng Lingtian has vanished.
Chu looked at Sheng Lingtian with disgust in her eyes.
Sheng Lingtian felt a chill run down his spine from Chu Shi's gaze.
What exactly is going on? It seems like this time, the Peach Blossom Curse has absolutely no effect on Chu Lan!
"Lan'er! It's not that I don't love her! I just have some things I want to say to you, things that aren't suitable for a child to hear, which is why I wanted her to go back to her room!"
Sheng Lingtian quickly explained.
“Sheng Lingtian, you don’t need to lie to me! I can see very clearly how you treat Wanwan! When Sheng Moshi was born, you stayed in the study for several days, flipping through all kinds of ancient books and classics, just trying to think of a good name for your and Mu Rou’er’s child!”
But when it comes to Wanwan, you can't even be bothered to think of a name.
And since Wanwan was born, have you ever come to see her even once? Have you ever held her even once?
Not only Wanwan, but also Wen Jin.
Wen Jin has been in a coma for so long, how is he now? Have you asked him even once?
And what about Wen Yu and Wen Ze? How are their studies? Do you know?
"And you still dare to say you have feelings for me? If it were really as you say, how could you treat me and your children like this?"
"Sheng Lingtian, stop thinking about mending our relationship. There's no going back between us!"
General, if there's nothing else, you can go back now! I want to take Wanwan with me to eat!
After finishing speaking, Chu reached out and pushed Sheng Lingtian out the door in a few swift movements.
Sheng Wanwan then took the opportunity to snuggle into Chu's arms.
Upon seeing this scene, Sheng Lingtian's face darkened completely.
"you……"
Sheng Wanwan hid in Chu's arms, peeking out half her head to look at Sheng Lingtian.
Her eyes gleamed with cunning as she stuck out her tongue at Sheng Lingtian.
"Mommy, let's go eat something! Daddy is so mean, he's always bullying us!"
Mrs. Chu patted her daughter's head and nodded with a smile.
Seeing Sheng Wanwan's smug expression, Sheng Lingtian was so angry that his face turned green!
But he didn't press the matter further and left directly for his study.
He needed to go to the study to see what had happened, as it seemed this time the peach blossom curse had been completely useless.
Sure enough, when he opened the hidden compartment, he saw that the hair that had been tied together had broken off again.
Not only that, the statue actually shattered.
With a gloomy expression on his handsome, flawless face, Sheng Lingtian summoned the butler.
"Steward Xu, who came to the study today?"
"Apart from the maid who came in to do the routine cleaning in the morning, no one else came in!"
Butler Xu said with certainty.
Sheng Lingtian's study was a strategic location, and it was always guarded.
Besides Sheng Lingtian coming in, a maid will come in every day to clean.
"Interrogate that maid. Did you do anything she shouldn't have?"
Sheng Lingtian coldly instructed Steward Xu.
"yes!"
After a while, the butler came in.
"How about it?"
"The maid said she was just doing her routine cleaning this morning and didn't know what you meant by 'don't touch'!"
"Whether it's her or not, have her beaten to death!"
"yes!"
"Also, you'll personally oversee the cleaning of the study from now on. Don't let anyone touch this hidden compartment!"
Sheng Lingtian looked at the broken stone statue in the hidden compartment and said coldly.
"Yes, General!"
"However, General, the Peach Blossom Blossom has already shattered. Should we write to the Prince and have someone send another one over?"
"Of course, without the Peach Blossom Sin, Chu Lan would never have liked me, and naturally, he would never have reconciled with me!"
Sheng Lingtian remembered that Prince Rui's original mission was to help him win Chu Lan's favor and become Chu's son-in-law.
After the unexpected deaths of General Chu and Chu Qianfeng, the Chu family was left without anyone capable of leading troops.
Although the Chu family still has other male members, no one would entrust the Chu family army of 100,000 soldiers to Chu Yunzhou and Chu Xiuyuan, who have no military knowledge whatsoever.
Given that person's attitude towards the Chu family, the most likely scenario is that he will hand over military power to the Chu family's son-in-law.
On the one hand, giving military power to the son-in-law of the Chu family can minimize dissent within the Chu family army.
After all, with no one in the Chu family capable of leading troops into battle, it was inevitable that military power in the Chu family army would fall into other hands.
It's much more acceptable to the Chu family army to give military power to their son-in-law than to an outsider...
On the other hand, it would also allow that person to gain a reputation as a benevolent ruler, after all, the Chu family had devoted themselves to the Great Yan Kingdom for generations.
That person didn't want the world to say that he had used the millstone and then discarded it.
Military power was given to the son-in-law of the Chu family. People could only say that he was benevolent and virtuous, and that he valued the Chu family's generations of loyalty and goodness. He was a righteous and benevolent ruler.
But in reality, the Chu family's son-in-law is just the Chu family's son-in-law, and the loyalty of the Chu family army to him is definitely not as great as that of the Chu family members.
Having military power in the hands of the Chu family's son-in-law is the safest option for that person.
In retrospect, their estimates were all correct.
However, his pursuit of the Chu family was not so smooth at the time.
At that time, Chu was the most beautiful woman in the Great Yan Kingdom. She was not only proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also outstanding in martial arts and strategy.
On the battlefield, Chu Shi, dressed in red, was a valiant and beautiful woman, the dream lover of every man.
She naturally had no shortage of suitors.
At that time, although he was considered excellent, he was no match for Chu Lan or Chu Lan's suitors.
