Although she was plagued by nightmares, at least it was the longest sleep she had in recent days.

When Jiang Wu woke up, she had already forgotten what she had dreamed about. Her head was still a little dizzy, but she felt she had never been so clear-headed.

She felt that the reason she was so worried was that she took her role too seriously.

Even without her, these two children had been living well.

Chu Yan’s entry into the Prime Minister’s Residence was something she had planned long ago. Now, there was just an extra little brat.

That was no big deal; he was just a brat of unknown origin. Ah Ye and Nian Yin were honest people.

She had to have confidence in her own children. She wouldn’t be outdone by such a bastard.

Besides, even if she wanted to sacrifice herself and continue to stay in the Prime Minister’s Mansion, wouldn’t she have to give up her position to Chu Yan? Was this something she could decide?

Jiang Wu convinced herself and escaped into her own shell with peace of mind.

The divorce had to be done as soon as possible, as Jiang Wu was afraid that the longer the night went on, the more trouble she would have.

In his spare time, Jiang Wu went to see Chu Jisheng again.

When she went there, the young man was chopping wood. He swung the axe very skillfully. With one swing of the axe, no matter how thick the wood was, it would be successfully split in half, and the debris flew everywhere. But Chu Jisheng didn’t even blink.

Jiang Wu listened to the sound of the axe hitting down again and again and took two steps back in panic.

“Who let you do something like this?”

After all, he was a guest.

The servant next to him reminded her with difficulty, “Madam, this is your order.”

Jiang Wu suddenly remembered that she was also very angry that day and wanted to make things difficult for this bastard no matter what, so she gave such an order to make him do the work.

“Is… is that so?” She was also in the wrong, so she turned around and looked at the young man over there.

This time, she tried to look at him without prejudice or anger.

He was quite good-looking, but apart from his tall nose, which looked a bit like Chu Yan, there was nothing else similar about him like Chu Yan or Chu Ling.

This was the best. If there really was a younger version of Chu Ling standing in front of her every day, Jiang Wu was not sure if she could bear it.

Besides being good-looking, Chu Jisheng also had a maturity that was not quite in line with his age, which was quite different from Ah Ye and the others. But it wasn’t hard to understand—one was the beloved son of the Prime Minister’s family, naturally confident and at ease, while the other was a child ostracized in a foreign land, not even knowing who his father was, so he was cautious, indifferent, and full of thorns.

Jiang Wu sighed in her heart. This Chu Yan was really inhumane. She gave birth to a child in such a situation.

Perhaps because she felt a little sympathy in her heart, Jiang Wu asked someone to ask the young man to stop.

After a while, Chu Jisheng stood in front of her and saluted, “Madam.”

Jiang Wu had finished looking him up and down and said calmly, “From now on, let the servants do these things.”

“These things are nothing compared to what I did before.”

So pitiful?

Jiang Wu inexplicably felt a little guilty: “You are also a guest of the mansion, so you don’t have to do this anymore.”

Maybe he would become the master in the future.

She clearly acted like an elder and was superior, but when she caught a glimpse of the corners of Chu Jisheng’s mouth rising and falling, it was as if he had seen through her disguise.

Jiang Wu was embarrassed: “What are you laughing at?”

“I just feel that mother is right. Madam is no different from what she described.”

Hmm? After hearing this, she became curious again: “What did she say about me?”

The boy thought for a moment, and it didn’t look like he was recalling his mother’s words but rather trying to find a more appropriate adjective.

“Just… not very smart.”

Impolite bastard! Jiang Wu was annoyed. Chu Yan really didn’t say anything good about her!
