Seven Zhang, Eight Zhang, Nine Zhang, Ten Zhang!
In an instant, the blood column had already risen to ten Zhang!
The blood column showed no signs of stopping, continuing to ascend at an astonishing speed.
Even in the distance, everyone could sense that the speed of the blood column was increasing!
Fifteen Zhang, Eighteen Zhang, Twenty Zhang!
Thirty Zhang, Forty Zhang, Fifty Zhang!
The fifty Zhang blood column was no longer something that the Wuding Marquisate could conceal.
Everyone in the capital turned their eyes toward the position of the Wuding Marquisate.
This scene shocked everyone.
Wait, am I seeing things? That seems to be a blood column generated from a bloodline identification?
That's right, it's a blood column! I heard that the Wuding Marquisate's mother is only three or four months pregnant—how can they be identifying the bloodline already?
Haha, the Wuding Marquisate almost lost their title back then; now they're rushing to identify the bloodline early—doesn't this clearly show their lack of trust?
Did you forget? This blood column not only represents bloodline identification but can also reflect the child's talent to some extent! How could the Wuding Marquisate possibly give birth to such a prodigy?
The bloodline of the Wuding Marquisate certainly can't do it; don't forget how noble Shen Wanzhou's bloodline is!
The crowd buzzed with discussions, each with different thoughts.
As they spoke, the blood column continued to rise without slowing down.
Seventy Zhang, Eighty Zhang, Ninety Zhang, Ninety-Nine Zhang!
A towering ninety-nine Zhang blood column stood between heaven and earth.
Moreover, the color of the blood column shifted from light red to bright crimson, casting a striking red hue across a large expanse of sky.
A prodigy! The Wuding Marquisate has produced a prodigy!
To have a ninety-nine Zhang blood column even before birth—what extraordinary talent is this?
Quickly, hurry and report to the lord!
In less than half a day's time, news of what had happened in the Wuding Marquisate spread throughout the capital.
There were even rumors that even high-ranking figures in the royal palace were shaken by it!
At that moment, in the Wuding Marquisate.
The old woman and Xu Yan'er were both paralyzed on the ground, shocked by the scene before them. They had never imagined that things would escalate to this point. Shen Wanzhou's initial joy turned into concern.
Legends spoke of prodigies being born, but her child had yet to be born and already displayed such talent; she feared there might be some other flaw. Shen Wanzhou suppressed her worries and said, "Now I can prove my innocence, right?"
The old woman stared blankly, unable to speak for a long time, while Xu Yan'er shot her a resentful glance and turned her face away. Shen Wanzhou paid no mind to their attitudes; after all, everything had already been clarified.
Just as she was about to leave the ancestral hall, a servant shouted, "The Marquis has returned!"
In the next moment, a young man in his thirties strode into the hall. The sound of his armor clanged with each step he took, exuding an aura of military might. This man was none other than Shen Wanzhou's husband, Chen Yuantu, the Wuding Marquis.
Shen Wanzhou's face lit up with joy as she exclaimed, "Husband, you're back! I have to tell you that our child is truly exceptional!"
However, before she could finish her sentence, Chen Yuantu coldly brushed past her, leaving her words stuck in her throat.
Turning stiffly, Shen Wanzhou saw Chen Yuantu first helping the old woman back to her seat and then allowing Xu Yan'er to throw herself into his arms, sobbing pitifully as she played the role of the distressed woman.
Chen Yuantu gently stroked Xu Yan'er's back and spoke soothingly to her. Then he cast a reproachful look at Shen Wanzhou and said, "Shen Wanzhou, how can you be such a mother? You let my mother sit on the ground and made Yan'er sad. Do you even realize your fault?"
Shen Wanzhou's expression stiffened as she hurriedly explained, "Husband, please listen to me; it's not like that—"
Her words were once again brutally interrupted by Chen Yuantu: "Still trying to argue? It's all because of you! When I came back just now, I heard that our Wuding Marquisate has become the talk of the entire capital. This is all your fault!"
With that, Chen Yuantu raised his hand and struck down with immense force, shattering a towering pillar of blood that had reached ninety-nine zhangs high. All strange phenomena vanished in an instant.
Chen Li felt his lungs nearly explode from anger at Chen Yuantu's unreasoned scolding! Was this man even fit to be a father? He didn't bother to uncover the truth but instead indiscriminately blamed all faults on his wife!
Moreover, Xu Yan'er was clearly the mastermind behind all this; yet here he was holding Xu Yan'er in his arms and comforting her softly?
Chen Li understood now—what a hypocritical Wuding Marquis! He knew the true reasons behind everything but chose not to intervene and let it happen! No wonder that old woman and Xu Yan'er dared to harm their own mother!
At this moment, Chen Li only regretted that he had crossed over too early into an unborn fetus; otherwise, he would have surely dealt with this hypocritical man!
In an instant, Shen Wanzhou felt as if she had lost all her spirit. She had thought she had proven her innocence, and with Chen Yuantu back, she believed he would support her. Instead, he had slapped her in the face with his actions.
The way Chen Yuantu and Xu Yan'er interacted was clearly beyond a normal familial relationship. As a woman from a prominent family, Shen Wanzhou immediately grasped the underlying truth.
Very well, Chen Yuantu, if you were honest with me, wouldn't that just mean you have a concubine? I wouldn't mind you taking Xu Yan'er as your concubine, but how could you allow them to slander my innocence? Shen Wanzhou's voice was filled with anger.
Chen Yuantu frowned slightly, his tone authoritative: Yan'er will not be a concubine!
Shen Wanzhou let out a cold laugh.
What a statement about not having a concubine! So you intend to use me and the child in my womb as stepping stones? This is your own flesh and blood, Chen Yuantu!
Chen Li thought to himself: If I had known earlier, I would have preferred not to be.
Chen Yuantu was growing impatient with Shen Wanzhou's attitude and said sternly: Enough! Look at what you've become!
Shen Wanzhou sneered repeatedly.
It was you who swore an oath under heaven, kneeling at the general's residence for three days and nights to marry me! The title of Wuding Marquis was not something you could inherit; I personally petitioned for that title on your behalf! Chen Yuantu, don't you feel ashamed sitting in the position of Wuding Marquis?
Chen Yuantu's face turned red with indignation; he couldn't refute her because everything Shen Wanzhou said was true!
Marrying him was indeed a significant step down for her. Yet over the years, Shen Wanzhou had played the role of a good wife and mother so well that Chen Yuantu felt proud—how could the daughter of the prestigious Shen Family submit herself to him?
Though the Shen Family was no longer what it once was, she had established her own footing in the military. Chen Yuantu believed he no longer needed to care about Shen Wanzhou or the Shen Family's opinions!
Before he could respond, Shen Wanzhou spoke decisively.
Chen Yuantu, it's fine if you want to harm me; it's fine if you're ungrateful. But you must not harm my child!
With that, I, Shen Wanzhou, hereby declare: I divorce you!
