This was a huge blow to Madam Chu.
She never imagined that her loving husband, with whom she shared such deep affection and intimacy, would cheat on her the very next day.
She's pregnant!
"That means Su Ling was already pregnant before that."
Si Jinyan pondered for a moment and said.
Su Ling is no ordinary woman. Despite her ill-fated destiny, she still enjoys the great wealth and status of the Chu family.
She sensed something strange when she was casting the spell.
This Su Ling is definitely not an ordinary person. To change one's fate, one must either borrow another's life or exchange one's life.
Borrowing, as the name suggests, means to absorb some luck from others.
"Exchange" refers to swapping someone else's good fate with one's own bad fate in order to achieve one's own goals.
"Jinyan, what do you mean?"
Chu Wanli understood what she meant, "But my father should know whether this child is his or not."
"What if your father was controlled from that time onwards?"
Si Jinyan's idea was not unfounded; one could tell from Chu Hang's completely different expression.
However, it is still uncertain who this Su Ling is.
"Uncle Zhang, have you seen Su Ling's family in the past twenty years?"
Si Jinyan thought about whether he could start with his family and investigate from the source.
Uncle Zhang thought for a moment and said, "I saw her, it was after those two children were born. At that time, Grandpa Chu was still alive, so even if he was dissatisfied with Su Ling, there was nothing he could do."
"So we invited Su Ling's family to host the 100-day celebration together, but that was the only time, and I haven't seen her since."
Suddenly, as if he had just remembered something, Uncle Zhang clapped his hands and said, "I remember now, this Su Ling is Madam's student!"
Upon hearing Zhang's words, both Si Jinyan and Chu Wanli's eyes widened.
"How could my mom possibly bear this!"
Chu Wanli never imagined that Su Ling was actually her mother's student!
A sense of desolation suddenly welled up in my heart.
He was betrayed by his own student!
Si Jinyan patted her shoulder comfortingly and said softly, "At least we have a direction for our investigation now. Let's go to the school where your mother works to investigate Su Ling's background first."
"Professor Mo, Department of Literature, Beijing Normal University".
Uncle Zhang mentioned the school where Chu Wanli's biological mother worked.
Chu Wanli realized that now was not the time for her to be sad, so she took a deep breath and composed herself.
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
She held Si Jinyan's hand, trying to find a bit of strength in those hands.
"Uncle Zhang, please be careful of Su Ling. I'm going to get some of your father's and Chu Wanting's hair first."
Si Jinyan still felt it was necessary to determine whether they were truly related as parents.
In short, it's always good to be cautious.
"Okay. Thank you, miss. I can tell you're an extraordinary person. We'll leave our young lady in your care."
Uncle Zhang couldn't help but wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, forcing a smile as he spoke.
"Don't worry, with me here, Su Ling won't be able to do whatever she wants in the Chu family anymore."
Si Jinyan disappeared from the spot as he spoke.
"Are you feeling better after applying the medicine?"
Su Ling looked at her daughter with heartache, her brows showing none of the ruthlessness she had just displayed.
She clearly embodies the image of a loving mother.
"Mom, why did that whip fall on me? This has never happened before."
Chu Wanting touched the whip mark on her chest and asked.
She naturally believed that her mother did not hit her on purpose.
"I don't know, the whip just went in your direction by itself, I didn't even have time to react."
Su Ling shook her head with a sullen face.
"I suspect it might be Jiang Caihe who's behind this. I can't figure out her face at all."
Su Ling's words startled Si Jinyan, who was standing at the door. Could it be that Su Ling was also a Taoist priest?
Of course, there are other Taoist priests in this world who can cultivate themselves; it's just that she cultivates in a Taoist temple.
This land was once home to a hundred schools of thought and various sects, and it's possible that some of these sects and schools have been passed down to this day.
However, Su Ling's cultivation level shouldn't be that high, otherwise her invisibility talisman wouldn't have gone unnoticed.
She also suspected that Su Ling might have an even more powerful ally behind her.
"So what do we do now?"
Chu Wanting asked with some concern.
"It's alright. As long as the Chu family is still under control, there shouldn't be any major problems. You should rest well first, and leave the rest to me."
Su Ling stood up as she spoke.
"And about your brother's matter, if the Jiang family can't help, I'll have no choice but to eliminate him completely."
When Su Ling said this, her whole face turned ferocious.
What was the point of all that hard work she put on with the Jiang family yesterday?!
Otherwise, she would have used her own power to deal with Jiang Caihe long ago.
Si Jinyan roughly understood what Su Ling was planning to do next.
She's going to kill the victim!
It seems I'll have to ask Xiao Luoan for help.
But now she needs to get Chu Wanting's hair first.
She went in the instant Su Ling pushed open the door and came out.
At this moment, Chu Wanting was lying in bed unable to sleep because of the pain.
Si Jinyan acted quickly, putting the ten strands of hair into a clean bag.
"ah."
Before Chu Wanting could even react, her hair was already in Si Jinyan's hands.
She assumed it was because the whip marks were too severe, causing her pain all over her body.
At this moment, Chu Hang was being controlled by Su Ling with some strange device, and was muttering incantations.
It was full of obscure and difficult-to-understand incantations, like some very ancient language.
Si Jinyan slipped into the room and, in front of Su Ling, plucked a lock of Chu Hang's hair.
Strangely, Chu Hang's eyes suddenly cleared.
For a moment, he looked at Su Ling with surprise in his eyes.
However, Su Ling reacted quickly and immediately knocked Chu Hang unconscious.
"How could this be? Is it because my cultivation level is not high enough?"
Su Ling was certain that she had just witnessed the moment Chu Hang regained consciousness.
She helped Chu Hang to lie down on the bed, and unconsciously stroked Chu Hang's hand.
"What else can I do? This is the only way I can get what I want."
Su Ling's eyes were strange, sometimes gentle and sometimes fierce.
"I was originally planning to teach that Chu Wanli a lesson, but now it's more important to deal with your matter, Chu Hang!"
She was afraid that once Chu Hang regained consciousness, everything would be out of her control.
After Si Jinyan got the hair, he left. Su Ling couldn't possibly talk to herself and reveal her secret in front of Chu Hang.
She gave a talisman to Uncle Zhang, asking him to protect himself, and then left the Chu family mansion with Chu Wanli.
“Wanli, this Su Ling is no ordinary person. She is very likely a person with cultivation, just like me. I am not sure if she is alone or if there are other people behind her.”
Si Jinyan spoke succinctly about what she had just witnessed as she walked.
"So the immediate priority is to find Su Ling's true identity and check her records at the school!"
