It had to be said that those who followed Jiang Wu were all good learners trained by Chu Ling. As soon as she gave instructions, they knew what to do.

The maid next to her, who already had a fierce look, walked straight forward, pulled the concubine over, and slapped her hard.

“How can you be so presumptuous in front of my lady?”

There was no concern at all that this was a pregnant woman.

Even Chu Chan was stunned.

After discovering that the person coming was Jiang Wu, the concubine who was about to lose her temper, knelt down with a pale face: “Madam…”

Jiang Wu didn’t want to listen to anything. She waved her hand and someone dragged the woman away.

She then looked at Chu Chan. She knew that she was not doing well, but she did not expect that she was doing so badly.

Although she was venting her anger, Chu Chan’s face became even worse. Perhaps she felt even more embarrassed because she was humiliated in front of Jiang Wu.

Jiang Wu didn’t have the time to care about her little thoughts. After sending everyone away, she asked directly, “You sent someone to assassinate Chu Yan.”

Chu Chan’s face froze, and panic flashed in her eyes, but she denied it without thinking: “What did you say? How could I do such a thing?”

“Chu Yan is dead.”

“What?” Chu Chan exclaimed, “They clearly said they didn’t succeed.”

After she finished speaking, she realized that she had said the wrong thing and quickly covered her mouth.

Jiang Wu sighed as she sat up there. She was completely flabbergasted with her xiǎogūzi: “Are you really mentally ill? You can’t even defeat these concubines, so you just go and kill her?”

Chu Chan then realized that this was a trick.

“You…” She was furious. “What do you know? Do you know that it was that woman who ruined my life? If it weren’t for her vain, sinister, and cunning mother, how could I have ended up like this?”

Jiang Wu couldn’t judge this matter. The two had been entangled for so many years, and most people might not be able to explain the entanglement between them.

But there was one thing she had to say: “Your brother went to pick her up in person, Chu Chan, and he was very angry.”

There was no one in Daqi who was not afraid of Chu Ling, including Chu Chan. Besides, she and her brother were not particularly close, to begin with.

Chu Chan’s face was ashen at this moment. She had obviously come back to her senses. Previously, she was only thinking about the revenge for her husband and forgot about her brother.

Jiang Wu was still thinking about how to warn her not to mess with Chu Yan again. If anything happened, who would compensate Chu Ling?

Before she could even utter a word, she saw Chu Chan kneeling in front of her.

“Sǎozi, please don’t tell my brother.” She cried bitterly.

Jiang Wu was so surprised by the call of sǎozi that she was speechless, and she dodged the hand that she reached out to grab her.

Chu Ling really did this… How scared was his own sister? She even lowered her face to kneel down to her?

She looked quite pitiful. Jiang Wu took back the scary words that were about to come out of her mouth and said, “You can’t even fool me, and you want to fool your brother? But don’t be too nervous. You are his biological sister. What can he do?”

Chu Chan’s tears suddenly flowed down: “He will definitely not let me go.”

Jiang Wu originally wanted to say that it wasn’t necessarily true, but she couldn’t say it out loud.

It was hard to say. Chu Ling didn’t recognize his relatives, and this was related to Chu Yan, so it was really hard to say: “Then…you…What’s the point of you begging me?”

It might be better to apologize to Chu Yan with a metaphorical rod in hand, though that would probably make Chu Chan feel worse than death.

“Of course, it will work. He only listens to you.”

Ah? Who listens to whom? Jiang Wu was just wondering if she had misunderstood her meaning when she heard Chu Chan’s crying pause for a moment and looked up at her.

“Jiang Wu, do you know why I hate you?”

“Hmm?” Jiang Wu could hardly keep up with the speed of her expression changing.

“I’m really… really jealous of you.” Chu Chan’s eyes didn’t seem fake; she was really jealous. “Why? Why do you have such a good husband? He only loves you and is willing to spoil you no matter what you do.”

Jiang Wu was so frightened that she forgot what she was here for. She quickly brought over a cup of tea and took a sip to calm herself.

Who? Chu Ling? Pampering herself? In the eyes of outsiders, was he like this?

Chu Ling’s wisdom in life once again raised Jiang Wu’s understanding to a higher level.

Look, even though she knew what a terrible person he was and that she would be scared like this by him, she still thought he was a good husband.

In the end, Jiang Wu confusedly agreed to help put in a good word and then left under her “jealous” eyes.

Damn it, she stood outside Zhang’s house and began to question why she made this trip. Was this a new way for Chu Chan to tease her?

---

Knowing that Chu Yan was fine and thinking that Chu Ling would not be back for a while, Jiang Wu had a rare good night’s sleep.

But she was a light sleeper, and even in her dreams, she felt that she was being stared at by a pair of sinister eyes. The feeling of uneasiness made her open her eyes.

When she opened his eyes, she saw a figure sitting next to a round table not far away. She was so scared that she immediately jumped up from the bed.

The fright was only temporary, as she was too familiar with this person, so even in the dark, even though she could only see a vague outline, she still recognized the person from his tall figure and familiar breath.

“Master?” She was a little unsure of the time. “Did you just come back? Why are you here?”

Not even a sound! Who were you trying to scare to death? Relying on the darkness, Jiang Wu dared to show an angry look on her face.

The next moment, she felt Chu Ling wave his hand, and the room suddenly lit up. Jiang Wu’s expression froze on her face.

With the light, she could clearly see the person sitting there. The man’s eyes were so cold that they could form a layer of ice as if they could freeze a person to death. Even though the room was illuminated, his face was so dark that he looked like he was in darkness.

Under the coldness was well-hidden anger, which Jiang Wu could understand, but she actually read a hint of sadness from the dead silence surrounding the man.

This was really terrifying.

Jiang Wu panicked. What happened? Why did things turn out like this as soon as Chu Yan returned? What’s going on between them? While she was lost in her wild thoughts, she suddenly heard the man’s low, angry voice.

“Where did you go today?”
