Chu Jisheng finally listened to his mother, or perhaps he realized that the disgust and malice of the person in front of him were directed at him. After being urged by Chu Yan again, he went out reluctantly.

As soon as he left, Chu Yan seemed to let go completely.

“Ah Wu.” She waved happily at Jiang Wu, “Come here quickly.”

Ah Wu what Ah Wu? Were they familiar with each other?

Of course, they were not familiar with each other. Even before she knew about her relationship with Chu Ling, the two of them were just casual acquaintances of a certain kind.

Jiang Wu’s two real and fake sisters-in-law were fighting each other fiercely. As an outsider, she would not get close to anyone easily.

But her footsteps still unconsciously moved closer to the bed until Chu Yan grabbed her hand.

“We haven’t seen each other for so long. I’m really sad that you’re so cold.”

She held Jiang Wu’s hand as if she was acting coquettishly.

Jiang Wu felt that Chu Yan was like this, which shocked her. She was even more shocked that she didn’t hate Chu Yan’s coquetry. Only when she got close could she smell the green tea fragrance on Chu Yan, which was very nice.

She remained silent, unwilling to say anything softly, but she couldn’t say anything bad to such a patient.

Ever since she learned about Chu Jisheng’s existence, Jiang Wu’s mind had been in a mess and she had no idea what to do next.

Chu Yan seemed to have finally remembered that they were not very close, and she slowly put down her hand embarrassedly.

“I’m sorry, Wu. I haven’t seen an old friend for a long time, so I’m a little excited.”

When she said this, coupled with her sickly face, she really looked like a pure and innocent little flower. If she hadn’t been affected by that little bastard, Jiang Wu actually wouldn’t mind pretending to be a sister to this person who had the hope of saving her from the dire straits.

But she has no intention of doing that now.

The woman who didn’t want to say a word in front of the Duke’s wife now turned into a chatterbox and kept talking.

“Ah Wu, I have no choice. The Emperor of Beiyao is dead, and Ji Sheng is not his child. He is being ostracized in that place, so I had to bring him back.”

You’ve made the ruler of a country suffer such a loss, how can he not exclude you?

“Ah Wu, are you doing well?”

Not good at all!

Jiang Wu was very annoyed. She felt that she was split into two people, feeling both sympathy and disgust for herself. This gave her a terrible headache.

Seeing that she hadn’t said anything, the woman tried to reach out to pull her, but was pushed away by Jiang Wu.

“You should take good care of yourself.”

After saying this, she left without looking back.

---

Jiang Wu went to bed without eating at night.

She lay in bed, thinking about how miserable her poor little children would be after she left, having to welcome a new mother and brother. Chu Ling had no affection for them.

The more she thought about it, the sadder she became.

There were footsteps outside the door. Because Jiang Wu was familiar with that person, she knew it was Chu Ling without even having to distinguish.

She didn’t move, and the man was obviously silent for a while after he came in.

Jiang Wu guessed that he must have been so angry about the reward she had smashed on the ground that he was here to berate her.

However, Chu Ling walked in quickly, went to the bedside, and looked at Jiang Wu who had her back to him.

“Chu Yi said that you didn’t eat tonight.”

It was that talkative Chuyi again.

Chu Ling had already sat down beside the bed: “Are you going to keep your back to me like this?”

Jiang Wu was very timid. If she had heard such an unhappy tone from him on a normal day, she would have been frightened and become submissive.

But she was so angry at the moment that she didn’t care.

Chu Ling obviously couldn’t tolerate such an attitude. He put his hands on her shoulders and turned Jiang Wu’s body over with irresistible force.

This turn actually eased the seriousness on his face. He paused for a moment before asking, “Who offended you?”

He obviously saw the tear marks on Jiang Wu’s face, and a hint of unknown emotion flashed across his eyes, but Jiang Wu, who was only crying, did not notice it.

She had heard this question many times. Chu Ling loved to ask this question. Sometimes there was a hint of fatigue in his words, just like a parent facing an unreasonable child. Because she was his own child, he had to vent his anger for her no matter how helpless he was.

But in fact, the culprit was often himself.

Jiang Wu usually didn’t answer, but this time was an exception. She sat up from the bed and grabbed Chu Ling’s collar.

“Chu Jisheng.” She said the name as if she was complaining, with a crying tone, as if she was giving in. In fact, unlike her previous superficial obedience, this time she was really admitting defeat.

Jiang Wu saw a moment of astonishment in Chu Ling’s eyes, not knowing whether it was because of the name or because of his attitude of surrender.

But he soon turned back to his careless and dead look, playing with people’s hearts, and snorted indifferently: “Hmm?”

“He makes me unhappy, you ask him to leave the house.”

After Jiang Wu finished speaking, Chu Ling responded quickly: “No.”

That was a rejection without any room for negotiation.

Jiang Wu was filled with hatred. Sure enough, before he even recognized his ancestors, his heart had already begun to deviate. When the mother and son moved in, where would there be room for Ah Ye and his sister?

She cried so hard that she was about to burst into tears, but she still grabbed Chu Ling’s collar and refused to give in: “You have to promise me that Ah Ye will always be your eldest son, and you have to put him and Nian Yin first.”

Her eyes could not see clearly because of the tears, which gave her the courage to say these words, but also made her feel uneasy because she could not see Chu Ling’s expression.

Until a hand was placed around the waist.

With a slight force, the hand brought her into the man’s arms. His scent spared no effort to drill into Jiang Wu’s nose.

Jiang Wu was still holding his collar. Because of her posture, her entire weight was on Chu Ling. The man had no support from behind, but he was still sitting steadily.

It was clearly an intimate gesture, but the words that came out of his mouth were as cold as snow.

“Jiang Wu, what is your position to ask me?” He said, “The eldest son is the child of the legal wife.”

Chu Ling’s grip tightened a little, and his tone was unclear: “As long as you are my legal wife, Ah Ye’s brother and sister will naturally be my first priority.”

Jiang Wu’s heart, which had been troubled for most of the day, suddenly cooled down at this moment.

She suddenly felt that she was probably the most ruthless person.

Even so, she was not willing to stay and continue to occupy the position of the legal wife for the sake of Ah Ye and Nian Yin.

When Chu Ling said this, she had the answer in her mind without any hesitation.

She must leave Chu Ling.
