Male superiority and female superiority: forced love

"why?"

"You asked him to come and take you away?"

Xiang Yunchi stared at the little white rabbit's eyes with suspicion, keenly capturing every expression on her face, not realizing that even his tone had become sharp inadvertently.

"Yun Chi!" Xiang Wanrong's face darkened, and she patted her daughter-in-law, who had her head bowed, and warned her. Tong Yuqing only heard that her grandson's daughter-in-law was frightened, and didn't know the whole story. She frowned slightly at her grandson's loss of composure.

Ji Zhiya pulled Ruan Chuyin to his side and said calmly, "Chuyin is also my wife. Why not take her away?"

"Did you ask him to come?" Xiang Yunchi ignored her, his starry eyes shot towards Ruan Chuyin like sharp arrows, and the murderous aura emanating from his body made the already heavy atmosphere even more tense.

"It was your second brother, Yue Yixing, who invited me here," Ji Zhiya interrupted. He then turned to the elders and said, "I came here in a hurry today and didn't bring any gifts. Here are two bottles of camellia dew for relaxation and concentration. I hope you won't mind." He pulled two small bone china bottles from his sleeves, set them down, and then, taking Ruan Chuyin with him, turned and disappeared into the void.

Xiang Ge immediately called Yue Yixing to question him.

"Are you sure it was Hatsune Miku's idea and not yours?" Even if that was true, Xiang Yunchi didn't believe that the little white rabbit would do that.

"How could that be my idea? Mom, look at him!" Yue Yixing immediately refused to buy it. Was he so bored that he would take the initiative to find another man for his sister-in-law?

"Alright, alright, stop talking. Mr. Qinglian is Hatsune's husband, so it's perfectly reasonable for him to take her away." Tong Yuqing fondly played with the two bottles of treasure in her hands. Although she had only married one man in her life, she had always felt a sense of superiority as a woman.

Wu Shuhong listened silently to the whole story, but felt like he was missing something, so he asked, "How did you get rid of those three people?"

"With a sword."

"One sword to the throat?"

At this point, Xiang Yunchi suddenly stopped talking. He was silent for a full ten breaths before he slowly spoke.

After that, everyone in the hall became uneasy.

"You mean, you chopped someone in half in front of your wife?" Xiang Ge was the first to come to his senses, with a look of disbelief in his eyes.

"Cut in half?" Wu Shuhong asked uncertainly, his heart hanging in the balance.

"No." Xiang Yunchi pursed his lips and denied.

Upon hearing this, Yue Yixing's eyes widened in shock, "You didn't split him in half from head to toe, did you?"

"Then how else can we chop it!" Xiang Ge glanced at his grandson speechlessly.

Xiang Wanrong was so shocked she didn't know what to say. She raged, "You're lucky your wife didn't die of fright! Who wouldn't run away?"

"Even someone like your mother, who knows some martial arts, would be frightened by you. Just give her a beating and teach her a lesson, why go so far? And what's more, it happened in broad daylight! You're going to be the prince of the Zhenbei Palace soon, why are you so unrestrained?" Tong Yuqing put down the vase in her hand, her eyes filled with confusion. Her grandson had always been thoughtful and careful, so why was he so impulsive this time?

Xiang Yunchi hadn't wanted to say it, but now he had no choice but to reveal, "Those three are Hao Rong's men. If we don't kill them, there might be trouble. They're all tall and strong, not like people from Nanxing, but more like people from Beiyue. Ming Wu and the others have already taken care of them, so they won't leave any traces."

When the five people heard what he said, except Yue Yixing, they all fell silent and stopped talking.

They knew exactly who Hao Rong was, especially Xiang Ge, the King of Zhenbei, who was troubled by her.

This legitimate princess is truly fearless and dares to take on anyone. Last year, she even set her sights on Xiang Jianzhang, angering Xiang Ge so much that he nearly killed the princess with a single blow. Ultimately, the Nanxing Emperor and Empress agreed to allow the Prince of Zhenbei to remove Qin Guanzhi from the Nanxing Kingdom's blacklist, saving him.

"Forget it. There will be a palace banquet in three days, and you can bring Hatsune back then." Xiang Ge just brought up this matter.

"You want to bring Hatsune Miku into the palace?" Xiang Yunchi asked in surprise.

"Not only her, you and your parents have to go too." Xiang Ge was going to bring his grandson to the court to make a formal appearance, letting everyone know that the Zhenbei Palace had a successor.

Xiang Yunchi felt an inexplicable unease. He was a man of the Jianghu, used to being free and unfettered. What did it mean to ask him to attend the palace banquet now? Did they want him to serve as an official in the imperial court later?

Thinking of this, I felt even more upset.

Xiang Ge could see his displeasure, but he had no better choice. He said earnestly, "Don't you want to take Hatsune back? Let her live with Ji Zhiya?"

After his grandfather’s guidance, Xiang Yunchi immediately understood.

Ji Zhiya had recently returned to the secret realm. Yue Yixing had come looking for him the moment he arrived in Yangcheng. This morning, he had his apprentice, Xu Qingfeng, hastily buy a small house there, paying double the price to have the family move out quickly.

Halfway through the walk, Ruan Chuyin suddenly remembered what her mother-in-law had told her: Mei Boyan was now in Zhenshan Garden, so she changed her route and went there.

The man, with a shimmering figure and bright eyes, now lay in bed with bruises all over his face. If he hadn't been rescued in time, the consequences would have been disastrous.

"Bo Yan thanks the Crown Princess for saving me again. I have nothing to offer in return, except my humble life. I am willing to serve you like a slave for the rest of my life in return for your kindness." Mei Boyan excitedly struggled to his feet upon seeing the newcomer, intending to kowtow three times. Every time he felt hopeless and helpless, she would always appear like a fairy, saving him from the brink of disaster. His heart pounded, hot tears streamed from his eyes, and even the scars on his face couldn't conceal his extraordinary, broken beauty.

Ruan Chuyin had never thought of asking him to repay her, so she quickly gestured for him to lie down and said, "Mr. Mei, there's no need to be so polite. It's not just me; I'm sure anyone else passing by would feel bad. Besides, it was my husband who rescued her, not me. So, Mr. Mei, why did you come to Nanxing?"

This question hit the nail on the head, and even Ji Zhiya couldn't help but prick up his ears.

Mentioning this, Mei Boyan could no longer suppress the grief in his heart and burst into tears: "Boyan, I am a humble commoner. I thought I could live a stable life in Beiyue, but Princess Nanxing actually sent people to kidnap me. Along the way, I escaped three times, but was caught each time." When he said this, he could no longer cry.

"This is too much! Princess Nanxing has absolutely no respect for the law. She actually harms innocent people for her own selfish desires." Ruan Chuyin finally understood why Guan Zhi kicked her off the cliff. He must have been fed up with her pestering him.

"Princess, Hao Rong is a ruthless person who will not give up until she achieves her goal. Almost no man she sets her eyes on can escape her clutches. This time, perhaps it was God's mercy that saw my life was not meant to end, so you saved me. But there is no guarantee that I will not fall into her clutches again next time. Princess, please save me. Please have mercy on me and take me in!" Mei Boyan knew that he could only survive by climbing a tree. Enduring the severe pain all over his body, he stood up and knelt in front of her. Just as his two big hands were about to touch the light hem of her skirt, Ji Zhiya sent him back to the bed with a palm and said coldly, "How do you want her to take me in?"
