There was constant struggle in the court, and the people were also unable to live in peace.

Shen Wantang stared at Cen Xiao closely. She didn't know whether telling Cen Xiao this was a good thing or a bad thing.

But she understood that there was no better way now.

"I heard that your cousin is coming back soon." Cen Xiao changed the subject, the gloom on his face disappeared, and a smile appeared.

Shen Wantang just nodded.

Cen Xiao took two quick steps and stopped in front of Shen Wantang: "I have already said it so clearly, and you don't understand me. Go drink some wine at your cousin's wedding!"

Shen Wantang stood there, with a hint of surprise in his eyes: "Uncle, didn't I send you an invitation?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the smile on Cen Xiao's face disappeared, and he frowned. There was a bit more anger in his evil eyes: "Your uncle is really a stingy guy. He invited officials from all over the city to a banquet, but he didn't send me a card."

As he spoke, he glanced at Shen Wantang.

"My uncle said that all the people in Jiangzhou City can come to the feast. So, you can come too."

Shen Wantang comforted.

But after these words were spoken, Cen Xiao became even angrier.

"Shen Wantang!" He frowned and said childishly, "Why don't you understand what I mean!"

After he finished speaking, he turned and left, leaving Shen Wantang standing there in a daze. Looking at Cen Xiao's back, he muttered to himself, "What's wrong with me?"

As night fell, servants in the governor's mansion were running around in a panic.

"Hold on, miss! The baby is about to come out!"

The anxious voice of the midwife could be heard faintly, and the governor paced back and forth in the hall in a hurry.

Wang Fengming, however, sat quietly aside.

"How is Tao'er?" The governor then grabbed a maid who was coming in and out and asked hurriedly.

"My Lord, the young lady is doing well."

The maid responded hastily and then continued with her own business.

Wang Fengming took a sip of tea and then said, "Tao'er is already full-term. Besides, the best doctors in Jiangzhou City are all in the mansion. Tao'er has also given birth before, so you can rest assured."

"But something like this happened today! How can I not be worried?"

The governor was so anxious that he felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. He just sat down but stood up again and walked back and forth, giving Wang Fengming a headache.

"You have seen Tao'er's determination today. She can prioritize."

Wang Fengming slowly closed his eyes, rubbed his eyebrows, and responded.

"Wow!"

The sound of a baby crying echoed throughout the governor's mansion, and the governor finally felt relieved.

Wang Fengming sat up like a spring and rushed into the room.

"It's a girl! Congratulations, ma'am!"

On the bed, Chen Tao was exhausted, her hair soaked with sweat and stuck to her forehead. Her eyes were filled with tears, and she looked at the baby in the cradle with a smile on her face.

Half an hour later, the governor's mansion finally calmed down.

At that time, Shen Wantang had just returned in a hurry. When she heard that Chen Tao had given birth to a girl, she didn't care about anything else and hurried to Chen Tao's room.

But when he reached the door, he felt a little scared and stopped.

"Is everything okay, cousin?" Shen Wantang asked anxiously.

The maid nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, we will take good care of the young lady."

"Since everything is fine, I won't go in. I'm full of murderous intent, so I won't scare the child..."

Shen Wantang spoke in a low voice and then turned to leave.

"Tang'er!" Chen Tao's faint voice came from the room, and then Chen Tao's personal maid came forward and said with a smile: "Miss cousin, our young lady wants you to come in."

Shen Wantang paused, but still took two steps back.

The maid came forward and took Shen Wantang's wrist: "My cousin, this is too formal. Miss Taoer just asked you to come over and have a private talk."

She was dragged into the room by the maid.

There was still a slight fishy smell in the room - people like Shen Wantang who had been on the march and fought in battles were most sensitive to the smell of blood.

But it was only for a moment, and then I smelled the scent of baby milk.

Chen Tao lay quietly on the bed. When she saw Shen Wantang coming, she slowly stretched out her hand.

Shen Wantang came forward quickly: "Sister, you have suffered..."

Chen Tao sneered: "It is inevitable for a woman to suffer when giving birth. It is just her own choice."

"Go and have a look at the child. He is very cute!"

Chen Tao said softly.

But Shen Wantang was very scared and shook his head repeatedly: "I have fought on the battlefield and have a lot of resentment. It is better not to pass it on to the child..."

"It's because you are a female general who fought on the battlefield that I want her to see you! In the future, she will definitely want to be as outstanding as you!"

Chen Tao refuted Shen Wantang and raised her eyebrows.

After hearing this, Shen Wantang stood up and walked to the cradle.

The little girl was lying quietly in one place. Her pretty appearance looked exactly like Chen Tao.

"So cute!" Shen Wantang's mouth never relaxed.

Chen Tao nodded: "I fell in love with her father because of his handsome appearance, but I didn't expect that he was such a rotten piece of shit inside."

As soon as he finished speaking, the smile on Shen Wantang's face disappeared instantly.

She looked at Chen Tao beside her worriedly: "Sister..."

"I, Chen Tao, can still live beautifully without him. My son will be a general and a prime minister in the future, and my daughter will have a bright future. I have nothing to be sad about."

Chen Tao raised his head, his brows full of pride.

But Shen Wantang could see that she was still sad - no one would not be sad when encountering such a big thing.

"If your niece wants to learn martial arts in the future, don't refuse!" Chen Tao grabbed Shen Wantang's hand and shook it twice.

Shen Wantang nodded repeatedly: "Of course!"

When Shen Wantang left Chen Tao's room, he didn't know what time it was at night. He walked alone in the corridor, thinking about what Chen Tao said.

Everything we do in life is just a personal choice.

These choices make life into a huge net that covers everyone's destiny.

The next morning.

Pingjiang Street, which had been bustling all night, was still busy in the morning.

Knock knock~

There was a gentle knock on the door.

"Who is it..." A lazy and impatient voice came from the room. Youyou came forward, opened and rubbed her sleepy eyes, and slowly opened the door.

"Has Cen Xiao gotten up?" A familiar voice sounded, instantly scaring Pei Qing away from his sleepiness.

His heart suddenly paused, and before he could say anything, he closed the door.

"Young Master! Young Master! Miss Shen is here!" Pei Qing staggered all the way to Cen Xiao's couch.

Cen Xiao frowned, and a palm landed on Pei Qing's face. A muffled voice burst out from his chest: "Get lost."

"Cen Xiao?" Shen Wantang called out loudly, and Cen Xiao opened his eyes in a daze.

"If you get up, I'll come in."
