“Sheng Lingtian, Mu Rou’er has tried to kill my mother and children again and again, and you, as my husband, have never stood up for us!”
Last time, Wanwan and Wenze were almost killed, and you did nothing.
I almost got...
All you did was drive Mu Rou'er out of the manor.
Sheng Lingtian, ask yourself honestly, how have you treated your mother and children?
Going back to the way things were? Ha... I'd like to!
"But what I want to go back to is the time before I met you."
Chu stared into Sheng Lingtian's eyes, her voice icy, each word piercing his heart.
Sheng Lingtian stared blankly at Madam Chu, a pang of pain shooting through his heart: "Lan'er, don't say such hurtful things. I truly know I was wrong. From now on, I will never let you or the children suffer any harm. Mu Rou'er is gone. From now on, this family will only have our own people. All those things from before will never happen again."
"Ha... Sheng Lingtian, can you really protect my child and me?"
Chu asked, as if pointing something.
Sheng Lingtian was stunned when he heard what Chu Shi said.
If the fact that the Sheng family is part of Prince Rui's faction is exposed, he will not be able to protect the Chu family. Not only the Chu family, but the entire Sheng family will be doomed.
If they succeed, perhaps he can secure his position as general and, with Mu Rou'er's identity, become a true aristocratic family in the capital, completely changing the fate of his family.
But at that time, Mu Rou'er would not let the Chu family off the hook.
In fact, he always knew that the Chu family was destined to be abandoned and destined to die.
He also knew that if he truly wanted what was best for the Chu family, he should let her leave.
But the thought of Chu leaving his side made his heart ache.
The thought that Chu was so outstanding, and that she might meet other men after leaving him, made her feel even more suffocated.
He didn't want to let go of the Chu family; even if he died, the Chu family could only belong to him alone.
"Heh... Sheng Lingtian, why aren't you saying anything?"
"You know perfectly well that you can't protect us, yet you still keep us, mother and children, by your side. You are truly selfish to the extreme!"
Chu's sarcasm and ridicule enraged Sheng Lingtian, who suddenly lowered his head and kissed Chu's lips fiercely.
"Ugh... Sheng Lingtian, you bastard, get out of my way..." Chu Shi pushed him desperately. Chu Shi's martial arts skills were already higher than Sheng Lingtian's, and now she used some internal energy, causing Sheng Lingtian to stumble back several steps.
Chu Shi vigorously wiped her red lips with a handkerchief, her disgusted expression bringing tears to Sheng Lingtian's eyes.
"Mr. Chu, what do I have to do to make you like before, with only me in your eyes? To trust me unconditionally?"
Suppressing his anger, Sheng Lingtian asked in a deep voice.
Chu scoffed, "Heh... Let me leave, let the children leave, and remove us from the Sheng family's genealogy. Maybe then I can forgive you. Otherwise, forget it."
"I disagree!"
Sheng Lingtian shook his head resolutely; he refused to let go, absolutely not.
"What else is there to say? Get out! If you don't leave, I'll beat you up! You know you can't beat me! If I beat you up and leave you scarred, you won't look good at court tomorrow!"
As she spoke, Madam Chu clenched her fists. If she weren't pretending to be weak for the world to see, she really wanted to give that scumbag Sheng Lingtian a good beating.
Sheng Lingtian looked at Chu Shi, his eyes bloodshot.
a long time--
"Chu family, do you know something?"
Otherwise, she implied that he couldn't protect her and her five children. Mu Rou'er's apparent identity was just the daughter of a minor county magistrate, so how could he not protect them?
So, did the Chu family discover something? If so, then he…
A cold glint flashed in Sheng Lingtian's eyes...
"Ha! Why aren't you pretending to be affectionate anymore? You want to kill me? Don't worry, I don't know anything! With how much you indulge Mu Rou'er, even a fool can see that Mu Rou'er's identity is not simple."
"But don't worry! I know the saying 'the more you know, the faster you die,' so I won't investigate Mu Rou'er's identity. Besides, I'm just a woman now; what ability do I have to investigate?"
Chu seemed to have guessed Sheng Lingtian's thoughts and met his gaze without fear.
Sheng Lingtian remained silent for a moment, then strode out.
Chu Shi watched Sheng Lingtian's retreating figure, a slight smile playing on her lips.
"Yin Liu!"
"Go find Meiniang and have her gather some assassins to kill Mu Rou'er on her way back home! Make it look like a bandit ambush!"
"Yes, Master!" Yin Liu withdrew upon receiving the order.
"Sheng Lingtian, do you think your relationship with Prince Rui will remain so close if Mu Rou'er dies?"
Chu murmured to herself, then a faint smile appeared on her lips.
...
On the desolate graveyard, the pale moonlight illuminated a scene of utter desolation.
The cold wind howled, rustling the withered grass and broken tombstones, as if carrying a series of mournful cries.
Sheng Wenjin carried Sheng Wanwan as they walked slowly through the desolate graveyard.
His steps were steady, each one seemingly bringing an invisible sense of pressure to the little devils around him.
The little devils hid in the grave, trembling, not daring to make a sound.
Although Sheng Wenjin and Sheng Wanwan looked ordinary, their aura instilled extreme fear in the little ghosts.
This fear doesn't stem from their appearance, but from the powerful aura they exude.
This aura is the power of the soul that only the soul can sense.
Their gazes lingered among the graves, as if they could see through all illusions and reach the essence of reality.
The little devils cowered in the grave, not daring to move an inch.
Sheng Wanwan closed her eyes, focusing intently on her surroundings. Her brows furrowed slightly, as if she were searching for something. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, pointing to an inconspicuous grave: "Brother, this will do!"
