The spring breeze picks up, and the tender leaves on the branches dance with vibrant colors, dazzling the eyes. The chill fades, and the plum blossoms burst forth. Seven or eight delicate blossoms, a brilliant crimson like blood.

As charming as the spring scenery outside the palace is, the beauty inside the palace is just as lingering.

The kiss ended and the lips parted, and there was something wonderful about it.

The person in his arms lowered his burning cheeks and said nothing. The man reflected in the light and shadow showed a long-planned smile.

After calming down, the two set out on the road to Hongmei Villa. During this time, Ruan Chuyin told Jiang Wenzhou about the situation of Wei Jiusi and Wei Shizhang, but concealed the fact that Wei Jiusi had lost all his martial arts skills.

For a long time, Jiang Wenzhou fell into deep silence.

Qingfeng Pavilion Master Wei Shizhang had left a deep impression at last year's martial arts conference. He wielded his two Heaven-shattering Hammers with unstoppable force, possessing unfathomable inner strength. He was a truly supremely powerful being. His beard, however, was rather unsightly, and his scruffy appearance made it difficult to discern his age. It was surprising to discover that he and Xiang Yunchi were brothers.

The notorious leader of Yueying Pavilion, Wei Jiusi, was a man known to all in the martial arts world. His ruthlessness and viciousness were unparalleled, far more pathological than the one in the Underworld Palace. Rumor had it that he had a close personal relationship with Bao Guanyang, the former leader of the Luosha Sect. Bao Guanyang, a homosexual, was deeply infatuated with Xiang Yunchi, the leader of the Underworld Palace, before his death. Could Ruan Chuyin have ended up with Wei Jiusi? Thinking of this, she could no longer remain calm, her thoughts racing.

"Why did you marry Wei Jiusi? He doesn't have a very good reputation." Jiang Wenzhou's first reaction was that Ruan Chuyin was being coerced. After all, unlike Xiang Yunchi, who had a prestigious family behind him, this man was a true bloodthirsty person.

Ruan Chuyin pondered for a long moment before replying, "When I first met him, I was startled and worried. When I saw him again, I was overwhelmed with emotion. He saved my life, and no matter how bad his reputation was, I wanted him." In her heart, Wei Jiusi's life-saving grace was different from that of Qin Guanzhi, Xiang Yunchi, and Jiang Xuanzhou. It was far more touching than theirs. One protected him with his life, the other simply extended a helping hand. The weight of their actions was different. Wei Jiusi was enough for her to pledge herself to him, to remain loyal to him for the rest of her life.

Love is never a scale. As long as there is love in your heart, you will carry everything for it even if your shoulders are thin.

This answer made Jiang Wenzhou instantly understand how important this person was in Ruan Chuyin's heart.

"Then why did you marry Wei Shizhang?" he continued. It couldn't possibly be out of love for this man, right? Or was it because the bearded man had saved her life?

Ruan Chuyin suddenly realized that Jiang Wenzhou was not only a big mouth, but also particularly fond of asking questions and prying into other people's privacy. Moreover, his eyes were particularly focused, making her feel that not answering properly would be a serious crime.

I have never seen other husbands as gossipy as him. It feels like there is an extra camera around me, and the pressure in my heart suddenly increases.

"Don't judge a book by its cover." After a long while, she finally managed to utter these words.

Jiang Wenzhou stared at Ruan Chuyin for a long time, then slowly turned his head to the outside of the pavilion and said no more.

He gazed absentmindedly at the red plum blossoms by the roadside, their shimmering brilliance gleaming in the sunlight. Yet, this early spring beauty couldn't dispel the mist that was gradually gathering in his heart.

Ruan Chuyin's response revealed a reluctance, a perfunctory attitude, and a faint resistance. He had to admit that things between them seemed very unfamiliar, so unfamiliar that it made him want to pick those gorgeous red plum blossoms himself.

After an incense stick of time, the two arrived at the royal villa.

This large house with five entrances and five exits has a regular rectangular layout, covering an area of ​​nearly 5,000 square meters and a construction area of ​​nearly 3,000 square meters. It has a main courtyard, two large courtyards, sixteen small courtyards and countless small rooms.

The tall and thick red gate, the expensive colorful glazed tiles, the steps made of white marble, and the two huge guardian beasts in front of the gate all show the royal style.

The courtyard is full of colorful flowers and spring is in full swing.

Leaning against the corridor, a few plum branches are reflected in the pool, and the sparse shadows float and drift with the shallow golden light, the rippling water is beautiful.

Ruan Chuyin looked around at the exquisite layout in a trance, and could no longer suppress the joy in her heart, and dimples appeared on her cheeks.

She finally experienced the feeling of becoming rich overnight.

She counted her real estate: besides the newly acquired Hongmei Villa, there was the house on Liangsong Street given by Qin Guanzhi, the Mingyue Restaurant, and the five large mansions and eight shops included in the wedding gift. Xiang Yunchi also gave her three large houses on Lihua Street, Zuixianlou, and three Zhenbaozhai. And Wei Jiusi, he said he would hand over all the houses and shops under his name, but she hadn't had time to ask for the exact number.

It was incredible! She suddenly felt that she was so arrogant and awesome that even the richest man in Dayong was not as powerful as her.

Jiang Wenzhou silently gazed at the wonderful expressions on her face, and his mood became relaxed. He leaned close to her earlobe, which was more beautiful than a shell, and said with a smile: "The hill behind the house is also yours."

"W...what?" Ruan Chuyin was smart this time. She didn't turn her head, but dodged and took a big step forward.

She repeated the sound of jade that had just fallen into her ears twice in her mind, and suddenly her eyes lit up.

"Are you serious?" she asked seriously, turning around suddenly.

The air was filled with pleasant laughter.

"Of course it's true, that's why it's called Hongmei Villa." Jiang Wenzhou's mood brightened even more. So, his beloved concubine liked yellow and white things. Great, that's exactly what he had in abundance.

"I want to plant persimmon trees all over the mountain!" Ruan Chuyin said happily.

May everything go well for you in your life! Good meaning, good words, good symbol.

"Okay, I'll have someone plant it later." Jiang Wenzhou pulled the person into his arms, his eyes full of doting.

Although it was not the first time the two of them hugged each other, the person in his arms still felt unfamiliar and tried to twist her waist slightly to get out of his arms.

"Why? My Crown Princess, can't I hug her?" Before he finished speaking, Jiang Wenzhou hugged her even tighter, so tight that his red lips barely touched that smooth jade-like forehead.

The warm touch made the person in his arms tremble, and he leaned back slightly, not daring to look up.

Jiang Wenzhou couldn't stand this deliberate resistance, and displeasure spread freely in his eyes, his gentle face slowly darkening. But he still endured it and coaxed softly, "Are you hungry? I'll take you to eat something."

This time, Ruan Chuyin did not refuse. She seemed to have noticed Jiang Wenzhou's subtle emotional changes and nodded obediently.

Hongmei Villa is managed by a dedicated person all year round. The remaining chefs are all imperial chefs from the palace. Their skills are average and the taste is not amazing, but the presentation is definitely beautiful.

A table full of delicacies, eight dishes, two soups and two snacks, was enjoyed by her and Jiang Wenzhou alone. It was like they were eating the most expensive food and spending tens of thousands of dollars a day.

Look at this roasted deer tendon dish, a dish only reserved for members of the royal family. I once had it with Jiang Xuanzhou at the Peach Blossom Spring Restaurant. And today, thanks to Jiang Wenzhou, I got to enjoy it again.

Deer meat, especially deer tendons, is not to be taken lightly. It's rich in collagen, making it a rare and nourishing delicacy. Furthermore, the production process is quite meticulous, so even royalty wouldn't be able to enjoy it daily.

"If you like it, eat more. I'll have the kitchen make it again tonight." Jiang Wenzhou noticed that Ruan Chuyin really liked this dish of braised deer tendon. She only took two bites of other dishes, but she took four bites of this one. Even though deer tendon was rare, as long as the Crown Princess liked it, he would have the kitchen stew it every day.

Ruan Chuyin's heart sank. What had she heard? Do it tonight? Didn't Jiang Wenzhou say he'd leave after dropping her off?
