"I only have one request for this relationship." Shen Ningsi looked relaxed.
"If General Gu sincerely wants to compensate me for the injustice I've suffered during this period, all he needs to do is meet this one request of mine."
"Speak." Gu Hong was too lazy to speak now. He was very frugal with words.
"An An and Kang Kang were born after ten months of pregnancy. During this period of time, I have completely forgotten that you are their father. Since I was not involved in this ten-month pregnancy process, from now on, An An and Kang Kang naturally have nothing to do with you."
Shen Ningsi was particularly determined, "So these two children must belong to me."
"As for Wen'er and the others..."
Shen Ningsi had never thought that this man would come back alive one day, so when faced with such an emergency, she didn't have a perfect explanation.
"Wen'er and the others..."
Shen Ningsi opened his mouth twice but failed to finish his words.
"Chen Ningsi, don't push your luck. I, Gu Hong, can't let an outsider like you raise my child!"
Shen Ningsi hesitated twice, which already made it clear what she was thinking. Gu Hong just felt it was ridiculous.
"Don't even mention Wen'er and the others. Even if it's An'an Kangkang, don't even think about staying by my side. How can I let my bloodline be left out there?"
Gu Hong's eyes were cold, and the way he looked at her was no different from looking at a stranger.
Shen Ningsi was not surprised at all. She had long known that a general who commanded a large army could never be a man who was addicted to love between men and women.
"General Gu, since things have come to this, I don't mind making my stance clear. Even if it costs my life, I will definitely keep An An and Kang Kang by my side. As for Wen'er and Wu'er..."
Shen Ningsi took a deep breath and forced the pain in his heart down.
"I have no right to decide whether they should stay or go, but since I raised them and have such a bond with them, I don't want them to live with a father like you who has a violent temper."
"They are both excellent children. If they stay with a father like you, it will only dull their natural talents. If possible, I hope you can give them a chance to make their own choice. They can choose whether to follow you to the capital to live a good life, or to stay with me, their impoverished mother."
Gu Hong sneered, "Even if they hate me as a father, can they really give up their good life and follow you to suffer?"
Just as the words fell outside the house, the young man's loud voice suddenly came.
"I'll follow my mother!"
Gu Xiuwu kicked the door open and looked back at his brother who was still standing there. "You're a good student. I'm sure you'll achieve even greater things in the capital. Even if you don't follow Mother, I won't blame you. Brother, don't worry. No matter what, I will protect my conscience and will never let Mother suffer any injustice."
Shen Ningsi was stunned. She didn't expect that the first person to speak would be this unruly brat.
Shen Ningsi looked at Gu Xiuwen who was standing there. There was no blame in his eyes, but a gentle look instead.
"Wen'er, if you live with the general, mother will feel a little more at ease. Your brother doesn't have the ability to weigh the pros and cons like you do. He has a volatile personality. If he were to confront the general directly, he would probably suffer a lot."
Being able to take Gu Xiuwu away already made Shen Ningsi satisfied.
Although she said that she preferred to leave things to Gu Xiuwen, Shen Ningsi was more worried about the child Gu Xiuwu.
But this doesn't mean that she didn't feel sad when she saw Gu Xiuwen leave.
The woman who had just argued with Gu Hong had some tears in her eyes. Shen Ningsi walked up to Gu Xiuwen step by step.
The boy was thin, but it was probably because of his good genes. Even if he was malnourished, his height had already reached Shen Ningsi's shoulders.
Shen Ningsi gently ruffled his hair. "Wen'er, mother also wants to take you with her, but mother does not have the ability to help you find the best teacher. With your talent, if you have the help of a famous teacher, you will definitely achieve extraordinary success in the future. I don't want to delay you."
"I often hear villagers say that children who are too sensible don't get enough milk. I didn't expect it to be true."
Gu Xiuwen left everyone with the impression of being mature beyond his years, but now there was a hint of discontent between his brows.
"You feel that Gu Xiuwu can't take care of himself, so you're content with him staying with you. But you don't feel the slightest bit nervous about me following Gu Hong?"
Gu Xiuwen stared straight at Shen Ningsi, but there was no hatred in the boy's eyes, only grievance.
"Mom, I called you mom, now you don't want me anymore?"
With both of her brothers in this state, how could Gu Yuner possibly bear it?
The little girl didn't understand how high-ranking her father was, nor did she understand why the man she called uncle suddenly became her father.
She only knew that this man was forcing them to separate from their mother.
Gu Yuner rushed forward and bit Gu Hong's sleeve, "You bad guy, leave our house! I don't want to see you. Yuner doesn't want to follow you! Yuner also wants to follow mother!"
At first, Shen Ningsi was able to suppress his reluctance to separate, and he weighed the pros and cons very rationally, analyzing what the children could gain by staying with him.
But now, several children were crying at the same time, how could she hold back?
Shen Ningsi first hugged Gu Yuner, and then took Gu Xiuwen's hand.
She faced Gu Hong's gloomy expression and said, "General, I have seen that several children do not want to follow you. As their mother, I don't want to force them to do anything they don't want to do. No matter what your request is, I will do my best to meet it. I only ask that you don't take them away from me."
Gu Hong never thought that he would face such a scene when he returned from the battlefield.
He couldn't bear it anymore.
With a kick, the heavy yellow pear wood table instantly shattered into pieces and fell against the wall, leaving only a piece of debris.
"Do you know what you're talking about? This is my fucking child! What does it have to do with you, Shen Ningsi!"
Gu Hong just found it funny. "How can an ordinary woman like you stop me?"
All of Gu Hong's disguises from some time ago disappeared. He was not a good-tempered person to begin with, and he just suppressed his temper a little in front of Shen Ningsi and others.
Now, in his anger, the man's brows were gloomy, and his superior's attitude of not refusing to be refused was even more clearly expressed.
Shen Ningsi took a deep breath, put Gu Yun'er down, and slowly picked up the dagger on the shelf.
Pulling out the scabbard, the silver tip of the knife formed a sharp contrast with the neck.
Shen Ningsi's eyes were extremely clear. "General, you probably don't care about me, a wife who can't even be called a wife, but I can solve the problem of famine. If I die, no one will be able to find other food besides potatoes. General, don't you care?"
