Jiang Wu was furious. What kind of problem did this guy have with Chu Yan? Why did he come to her to vent his anger?

But the storm in the man’s eyes made her dare not show any dissatisfaction. She clutched the quilt tightly and replied in a low voice: “I went to the fifth sister’s place.”

Chu Chan was the fifth child in the family.

These words obviously did not satisfy Chu Ling.

“What else?”

And…oh, it was at Mo Yangzhou’s place before.

Jiang Wu lied calmly despite his pounding heart, “I also visited Qingyang Gōngzhǔ’s newly purchased villa with her.”

In fact, they had bought the yard together, so there was no need to visit it. However, Jiang Wu felt that Chu Ling would not care about these details.

She was actually in a pretty good mood today. She had confirmed her future with Yang Zhou, Chu Yan was back, and everything was moving in a good direction.

But in contrast to her, Chu Ling tonight revealed an inexplicable frenzy, which was rare for a man, and made Jiang Wu nervous.

Chu Ling stood up.

When he was sitting there, the feeling of oppression was already not to be underestimated. Now that he stood up, Jiang Wu felt as if a mountain had been piled up in front of her, making her feel depressed.

She retreated further into the bed inconspicuously, not daring to move too much. At this moment, she was like a small herbivorous animal being hunted, and any slight movement seemed to make the hunter take action.

Chu Ling walked only a few steps from the table to the bed, but during these few steps, the man’s emotions were restrained again. When he stood in front of the bed, he showed his usual expressionless look.

Just him standing there, the shadow he cast and those deep eyes made Jiang Wu feel as if she was drowning and suffocating.

“Who made you unhappy again?” he asked Jiang Wu.

Jiang Wu could hardly keep up with his thoughts.

What do you mean, who had upset her again? He made it sound as if she was so moody that she needed to be worshipped.

She shook her head honestly: “No one.”

“Then why did you go to Qingyang Gōngzhǔ?”

Hearing Chu Ling’s question, Jiang Wu connected the past and the present, and her expression froze slightly. Did he know that once she was in a bad mood, she would run to Qingyang Gōngzhǔ, which was actually to see Yang Zhou?

It was always necessary to relieve stress, right?

So Chu Ling also noticed it, but he probably didn’t know about Yang Zhou, Jiang Wu was sure of it because if Chu Ling knew, he would definitely not react like this.

The man’s hawk-like eyes were still fixed on her: “I have lifted your house arrest. I have also brought the children back. Is there anything else that makes you unhappy? Hmm?”

The tone in which he said “hmm” was as if she would say one, two, three in the next moment, and Chu Ling could solve all of them.

Chu Ling’s existence was her biggest unhappiness, but Jiang Wu didn’t dare to say it.

“I can’t just go to Qingyang when I’m unhappy, right?” She lowered her eyes, not daring to look up at him. “I just went to her for a normal chat.”

Just as she lowered her head, she suddenly saw a hand in her sight, pinching her chin and forcing Jiang Wu to look up and look at him.

Jiang Wu always remembered how those hands crushed a jade pendant. Although the hand was only on her jaw at this moment, it seemed to choke her throat, making her heart beat like a drum and her body stiff and she dared not move.

When they looked at each other, the man’s brows were furrowed for a moment: “You always look at me like this, as if you are really afraid of me.”

His rapid breathing and fierce tone at that moment made him look as if he was extremely hateful.

Jiang Wu couldn’t stop shaking. She wasn’t just pretending, she was really scared!

Chu Ling’s breath has calmed down again: “Do you know why Chu Chan can’t even deal with a few concubines but wants to assassinate Chu Yan?”

At this moment, Jiang Wu’s eyes, which were filled with fear, were now filled with a hint of doubt.

She was puzzled that Chu Ling knew everything so quickly, and she was also puzzled that he asked this question so calmly.

Chu Ling did not wait for her to answer and continued: “Because she knows in her heart that those concubines are just toys for Zhang Xiu to entertain himself. If they do not cross the bottom line, he can turn a blind eye. If they take it seriously…”

The strength in his hands suddenly tightened, causing Jiang Wu’s face to wrinkle in pain.

Fortunately, he let go very quickly.

“You better be really afraid of me.”

Leaving behind such a confusing remark, the man, who was obviously still angry, just left.

Jiang Wu half-knelt on the bed, gasping for breath for a long time.

How could she not be afraid? She was scared to death. Just now she had a feeling that if Chu Ling stayed, she didn’t even know if she could see the sun tomorrow.

Extreme fear and relief at surviving the disaster made Jiang Wu bury her head in the quilt and cry.

Why? Why should she just endure this humiliation? Why should he vent his problems with his ex-girlfriend on her?

Jiang Wu felt so depressed that her chest felt stuffy and she felt like she couldn’t breathe.

Yang Zhou wouldn’t be like this. He wouldn’t treat her like this.

Zhizhi usually came to check on Jiang Wu’s condition after Chu Ling left. Every time the lady was in a bad condition, this time was no exception, except that it seemed to be more serious.

She wisely kept silent, waiting for the man to vent his emotions quietly.

The lady did not cry out loud, of course, it was not accurate to say so, she was almost crying silently, but from time to time she would make gasps and uncontrollable sobs in her throat.

She thought of her Master who had just left in a hurry, and it seemed more like he was fleeing in panic because he was afraid that his anger would hurt someone.

Phew, she breathed a sigh of relief, wondering how she had been so bold to have such an idea. She was thankful again that she had not gotten involved.

These two people were probably like martial arts masters competing for internal strength. They were evenly matched, but if anyone else got involved, one of them would die.

It was not until she realized that the lady seemed to be out of breath that Zhizhi hurried over and lifted her head out of the quilt.

Jiang Wu was like a dying fish that suddenly entered the water and was finally able to breathe.

She just felt that her brain was becoming confused, and many blurry images flashed through her mind.

She had no time to grab it, and could only take a deep breath after she came into contact with the air. Then her eyes turned red and she forgot all the discomfort she had just felt.

Zhizhi was stroking her back to calm her down.

After crying, Jiang Wu finally spoke: “Go and prepare a bath for me, I want to take a bath.” She seemed to be covered with a layer of sweat.

“Yes.”

“Change the quilt too.” She choked with sobs.

“Yes.” Zhizhi agreed one by one. The lady with a bad temper was just like a child, she thought.

---

As expected, Jiang Wu stayed awake all night again.

When she woke up in the morning, she had a severe headache.

“Madam, why don’t we go out for a walk?” Zhizhi suggested.

Jiang Wu did not object, perhaps the fresh air outside could help her headache get better.

On the way, Zhizhi told her that Ruyue Jùnzhǔ was taken directly back to the mansion by Chu Ling.

Jiang Wu’s footsteps paused for a moment.

This was not surprising. Chu Ling went over to save the beauty and brought her back personally. It was too natural for him to bring her into the mansion.

“Is she living in Taohuayuan?” she asked.

“No,” Zhizhi’s answer was somewhat unexpected, “She is staying in the guest room.”

That was strange.

Thinking that the person she hadn’t seen for more than ten years was in the same mansion, Jiang Wu felt a little curious, but she quickly suppressed it.

From now on, she would not interfere in the affairs of those two people, so let Chu Ling fight for himself.
