After my luck was stolen, I led my whole family to defy fate and change our destiny.

When the Empress Dowager's edict was delivered to the Gu family, Old Madam Cui was stunned. Why was the Empress Dowager also helping Su Xiuran?

They even accused her of mistreating her daughter-in-law and being disrespectful to her elders. It was clearly Su Xiuran who went too far, forcibly breaking into the Cui residence with people and taking away her daughter-in-law.

Madam Cui immediately burst into tears, feigning concern as she wiped them away: "Granny, please plead with the Empress Dowager! There must be some misunderstanding! Everyone in the Cui household knows that I treat my daughter-in-law even better than my own daughter!"

The head maid glanced sideways at Old Madam Cui. Just for writing that vulgar and abusive memorial, the Empress Dowager wanted to punish her, let alone use the Empress Dowager as a weapon.

"This servant does not have such ability, please, Madam Cui."

They said "please," but actually two old women came out and escorted Old Madam Cui back to her room.

The head maid bowed to Cui Sheng and then took her leave.

Cui Sheng was still confused even after the head maid left. Why was the Empress Dowager helping Su Xiuran?

Does the Gu family think they can turn things around? If that's the case, he would never write a divorce agreement.

Cui Sheng paced back and forth in the hall, pondering a solution...

……

The people having breakfast at the Gu residence were completely unaware that they had almost been invited to the palace by the Empress Dowager.

Having learned from the previous two experiences, Gu Linglong was held and breastfed by Chunhe, far away from the table.

Don't let the fact that this little lady is still a baby fool you, her hands are incredibly fast!

Gu Yu'an, who finished his meal first, picked up the book next to him and prepared to read it to Gu Linglong.

Listening to it at night can induce sleep, while listening to it in the morning can increase wisdom.

Gu Yu'an opened the book: "Little sister, this is a book that the Sixth Prince brought from the sect. He says it can increase wisdom and help you sleep better at night. I'll read it to you every day."

"A mind as still as water, devoid of all thoughts..."

As soon as Gu Yu'an finished reading, Gu Linglong suddenly opened her eyes wide.

[This is a cultivation mantra...]

Sigh...it seems I can't cultivate.

Forget it... I've already tried it before, being lazy and gluttonous suits me best.

Wang Fugui was whispering in Gu Linglong's ear when he heard this and immediately flew out, recalling the fleeting radiance on Lord White Tiger's body that night.

"No, Lord White Tiger, please try again. It's been a long time since the last time. The original book says this body can't cultivate, but who are you? You are the only White Tiger in the world, born naturally."

"Whether in heaven or on earth, you are the most special being. You can definitely do it."

Gu Linglong was so flattered by Wang Fugui's praise that if she still had her tail between her legs, it would have been sticking up high in the sky.

"You're right, then I'll try and see if I can cultivate."

Wang Fugui nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, try it quickly!"

After saying that, it felt a little guilty. It actually had a selfish motive: only when Gu Linglong became stronger could it protect the protagonist from being killed off and speed up the progress of the story.

Following Gu Yu'an's instructions, Gu Linglong began to guide her Qi into her body, once, twice, three times...

Huh~

Could she really be special? She remembered that last time she tried, it was almost impossible to draw qi into her body.

Even if a trace of spiritual energy enters the body, it cannot reach the dantian. When it is almost at the dantian, the energy naturally dissipates, as if something inside the body is sealed.

However, this time the spiritual energy was able to reach the dantian and the microcosmic orbit, but only a small portion of it.

Just like Gu Linglong drew a bowlful, but only the volume of one or two grains of rice could reach her dantian.

Although it was a small amount, it was still far better than not being able to cultivate at all before.

If this continues for a long time, will it be possible to break through the body's barriers?

Gu Linglong put her chubby little hand to her mouth and pondered. It was really strange. When did her body start to change so much?

Oh well... whatever, it's a happy thing anyway.

If she can cultivate, does that mean her brothers can cultivate too?

Human bodies are always somewhat frail; if exiled to the desert or Gobi, they would probably die on the way.

She became more and more excited as she thought about it, and started dancing with joy.

【Ahhh! I can cultivate now, although it's very slow. Does that mean my brothers can cultivate too? If my brothers all cultivate, they'll have stronger physiques and the ability to scale walls and rooftops, and they'll be able to protect Daddy and Mommy!】

Ah... I must work hard, I must work hard, I want to become...

His three older brothers all looked at Gu Linglong; they could also cultivate.

Gu Yu'an's eyes were dark and unfathomable as he silently made up his mind to cultivate and protect his parents and siblings.

Gu Liyao smacked his lips and thought, "Da Zuo Da You, although playing with snakes is a bit perverted, his skills are really good. Hmm, I need to practice."

Gu Ziming's thoughts were the simplest. He was attracted by the phrase "flying over walls and leaping across rooftops." If his little sister saw that he could do this, she would definitely think he was the most amazing brother!

Yes, he needs to cultivate.

Su Xiuran felt a surge of warmth in her heart when her youngest daughter told her to work hard to cultivate and protect her.

My daughter is so wonderful!

Although she didn't understand what cultivation meant.

Butler Liu entered and announced, "Madam, Miss has arrived."

"Please come in quickly."

Before he could finish speaking, Gu Xinyi's voice was heard.

"Sister-in-law"

Su Xiuran: "You were injured so much yesterday, why didn't you rest properly?"

Hello, Auntie.

Gu Xinyi smiled and agreed, "I made pastries for the children, bring them over while they're hot, they taste better when they're warm."

Su Xiuran: "Aren't you afraid of spoiling them?"

Gu Xinyi: "No, it's not like that, it's all thanks to you."

I know, Mom, Auntie is probably saying you're a lioness, very fierce!

Su Xiuran: "..."

Gu Xinyi: "..."

No, little niece, why are you talking nonsense? Oh dear...

You brat!

Gu Xinyi cleared her throat: "What I mean is, my sister-in-law is very well-mannered and certainly won't spoil her."

"I know"

Gu Xinyi opened the food box: "Come and try it, see if your aunt's cooking has gotten worse!"

After they had been talking for a while, a servant reported that Lord Cui was outside the Gu residence.

Lord Cui? Who else could it be but Cui Sheng?

Gu Xinyi's fingers cracked as she clenched them: "Fine, he still dares to come knocking on our door, he's shameless."

As she was about to leave, Su Xiuran grabbed her arm, asking, "Where are you going?"

I'll go and yell at her until she leaves.

Su Xiuran chuckled softly. She knew her sister-in-law best; she was far from being someone who would curse.

Her insults were delicate and refined; they probably even made Choi Seung feel good.

She pulled Gu Xinyi down: "Alright, there's no need for you to go personally. The housekeeper will scold her away. It's not easy to get a divorce, don't cause any more gossip."

"They just got divorced yesterday, and they're here again today. Who knows what they're up to? Maybe they want you to tear up the divorce papers and come back to them."

Gu Xinyi suddenly stood up: "I will never turn back. He made me suffer so much."

Su Xiuran: "Then hurry up and come down."

Gu Xinyi thought about it and realized that it made sense. Cui Shenglai definitely had ill intentions, so she obediently sat down.

Su Xiuran said to the person who came to report, "Cui Sheng is no longer the Gu family's son-in-law. If he comes, there's no need to report; just send him away."

"Yes"
