Dressed as a vicious stepmother, farming and raising cubs

Chapter 100 "First Entering the General's Mansion"

"Well, what a nice boy."

Mrs. Li nodded to her with a smile. She seemed a little excited for some reason. After exchanging glances with General Wen, she looked at her again.

"I heard from Shi Che that you take good care of them, so I've always wanted to meet you."

It sounds like the other party's invitation is just for testing, and they should not be prepared to reveal each other's identities.

Su Liu thought for a moment, then followed her words and said:

"Where? It should be the young masters from your mansion who are taking care of my family's business."

There was a polite and distant smile on her face. For an "ordinary person" who was invited to the general's residence for the first time, this should be regarded as a normal reaction.

"Miss Su." General Wen, who had remained silent, suddenly called her, his voice low but powerful.

"What's the relationship between Zhang Lan and you?"

As if he didn't expect the other party to ask such a direct question, Su Liu was stunned for a moment and answered honestly:

"Zhang Lan is my mother's name."

Hearing this, General Wen and Mrs. Li looked at each other, nodded slightly, and then looked at Su Liu.

Later, they asked some detailed questions, such as her age and some experiences as a child. Su Liu also answered them one by one based on the memory of the original owner.

During this period, Mrs. Li's eyes always stayed on her for a long time, and some tears could even be seen faintly.

The eyes seemed a little melancholy, like a bottomless lake, deep and beautiful.

Su Liu guessed that Shen Luochen's plan probably went smoothly.

The current General Wen and his wife have probably determined the relationship between the impostor and Su's mother, so now they are confirming her identity.

Wen Shiche and the other two brothers are not here today either. There may be some information that only the couple can confirm.

Thinking of this, Su Liu felt that he should behave more naturally, so he deliberately showed curiosity and asked actively:

"The general and his wife invited me here today. Why did they invite me here?"

She naturally knew that this was a knowing question, and she actually wanted to see the other person's reaction.

Sure enough, she saw a momentary expression of embarrassment on both of their faces.

"I just want to meet that strange woman Shi Che mentioned." Soon a gentle and generous smile appeared on Mrs. Li's face again.

Seeing this, Su Liu had no choice but to pretend to be stupid and look flattered.

"To be honest, the first time I met the general and his wife, I felt very familiar with them."

As soon as she said these words, she could clearly see a look of emotion on the faces of the two people opposite her.

It's amazing to say that today she observed that although the appearance of General Wen and Mrs. Li were completely different, one was rough and unruly, the other was as gentle as water, their demeanor was almost exactly the same, and they always had a tacit understanding.

It seems that what the outside world says is true, the general and his wife are indeed very loving.

"In that case, you are welcome to come often in the future. Can I call you Liu'er?" Mrs. Li's eyes were a little red, and her voice was almost choked.

For some reason, seeing her look like this, Su Liu was a little touched in her heart.

So she nodded, with a bright smile on her face:

"of course can."

Mrs. Li was a little excited and wanted to come up and hold her hand. General Wen next to her coughed a few times before she retracted.

Su Liu also pretended not to see it and chatted with the two of them for a while.

Then, she left early on the grounds that it was late. Naturally, the General Mansion considered this carefully and sent a special carriage to take her back to Jade City.

Along the way, she felt mixed emotions and her mind was very confused.

Is she finally recognizing her identity? But after that, what should she do? Could she really just leave?

With troubled thoughts, she opened the door to her home.

Shen Luochen was chopping firewood in the yard. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on him, casting a long shadow.

He still looked resolute and steady, but with a layer of golden light covering his body, he looked much softer.

Seeing Su Liu, he stopped what he was doing, touched his sleeves to wipe the sweat off his forehead, and said:

"You're back."

Such a simple and sparse and ordinary scene made Su Liu a little stunned. It took him a long time before he whispered:

"I went to the General's Mansion today."

After finishing his words, Shen Luochen showed a trace of visible nervousness on his face. He frowned slightly and asked:

"How's it going?"

Su Liujiang roughly recounted the situation during the day, and did not forget to tell him the situation in the general's mansion.

After listening to her words, Shen Luochen was silent for a long time before finally sighing.

"That day, Madam Zhang went to the General's Mansion, and I sent someone to bring the General and Mrs. Li over. According to the secret guard's report, Madam Zhang did not come out again after entering the General's Mansion."

Su Liu was a little surprised by these words. He didn't expect that such a thing would happen.

In other words, they detained Su's mother and she should have been locked up in the general's mansion when they went in.

Shen Luochen pondered for a moment and analyzed:

"I don't know how far they have gone in interrogating Ms. Zhang, but judging from today's performance, they should soon recognize you as their biological daughter."

Su Liu also agreed with his words.

When she saw Mrs. Li today, she felt that the motherly love in her eyes was about to materialize. If she hadn't confirmed her identity, she would definitely not behave like this.

The two of them looked at each other in silence, and the atmosphere was a bit subtle and quiet.

In the end, it was Shen Luochen who spoke first, walking towards the house and saying:

"I'm going to help you write your divorce letter now, so that you can go home without worries."

There was no light in the room, so the expression on his face was dark and unclear.

Su Liu chased after her closely. The feeling of tightness in her heart came back, but she didn't know why.

Shen Luochen took out his pen, ink, paper and inkstone, lit a candle on the desk, and started writing.

He wrote very quickly, as if he was afraid of regretting it. After filling a piece of paper, he stopped, breathed a low sigh of relief, and whispered:

"it's your turn."

According to the laws of the current dynasty, the couple needed to write a paper document each for a divorce, and then sign and stamp it with each other before it would take effect. Most of the documents written on the divorce were blessings to the other party.

Su Liu took the pen hesitantly, but took no action.

Suddenly, as if she suddenly remembered something, she raised her head, gave a stiff smile, and said:

"The children will be back from school soon. If they see me, it will be difficult to explain. Let's wait until my return home is decided!" (End of Chapter)
