Male superiority and female superiority: forced love

Xiang Wanrong kept winking at him from her seat. He was usually quite clever, so what was wrong with him today? His eyes immediately drifted towards his daughter-in-law.

Ruan Chuyin immediately understood and leaned towards her husband, patting the back of his hand. Xiang Yunchi glanced sideways at his wife, his eyes like the sea.

What does this mean? Ruan Chuyin pondered, suddenly unsure of her husband's intentions. Could it be that he didn't want the child to have the surname Wu? But why?

With a "bang", Wu Daozi slammed the table and jumped up. His two heroic white eyebrows stood up instantly. He was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick. Even his breathing became rapid.

Everyone was shocked. Even Ge Yinghan, who was eating melon nearby, trembled with shock and almost spilled the walnut cookies in his hand.

You wouldn't believe that Wu Xiaoyou, even at his advanced age, still has such a strong character. Look at that shattered table. It looks like it's made of golden nanmu wood. How expensive!

"My dear in-laws, don't get excited. Sit down and talk." Tong Yuqing saw that her granddaughter-in-law visibly shrank her head, probably because she was scared. She pushed the old man and motioned for him to say a few words.

The King of Zhenbei wished his great-grandson would also have the surname Xiang! He couldn't even laugh secretly in his heart, and pretended to persuade him in a nonchalant manner.

Wu Shuhong stared at his son again and again and said, "Your grandfather is old and can't stand the anger. If you have any ideas, speak up!"

"Your father is right, don't keep it in your heart." Tong Yuqing also meant this.

With so many elders staring at her, Ruan Chuyin saw that her husband remained silent and shook his arm anxiously.

"I don't want to be the crown prince. If Chuyin and I have a first child with the surname Wu, we'll have to wait until we have a second one. How long will that take?" After Xiang Yunchi finished speaking, he looked at Ruan Chuyin. Sure enough, her eyes stopped moving and she slowly moved her hand down from his arm.

Yeah. It takes at least a year to give birth to a child. And you can't have another one right after giving birth. If I continue to have another child for Xiang Yunchi after I'm done recuperating, the other seven will definitely have some thoughts.

Besides, Qin Guanzhi is her legal husband. How can she explain this to Yun Chisheng first?

Wait, speaking of the child, it seems that there has been no movement. She has not taken any measures, so how could this happen?

Suddenly, she remembered a prescription Ji Zhiya had written for her long ago, saying it should last two months. She'd asked her last time if she'd finished the course, but she'd ignored it and nodded twice. Now that she thought about it, she had to hurry.

When Ruan Chuyin came to her senses, she found the surroundings so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Wu Daozi and Wu Shuhong's attention had clearly shifted from Xiang Yunchi to the Zhenbei King and his wife.

Ge Yinghan didn't understand the complicated relationship and only understood half of it. He ate the walnut cakes in his hand one by one with great pleasure.

"Isn't Shi Zhang's child also Hatsune's husband? Then let Shi Zhang's child have the surname Xiang." King Zhenbei suddenly thought of a way to have the best of both worlds.

As soon as the voice fell, the daughter shouted loudly: "No!"

Why? Xiang Ge, Wu Daozi, and Wu Shuhong were all stunned and looked at her in confusion.

Tong Yuqing understood what her daughter meant and replied for her with a frown, "Yanli finally came back once, and she hasn't even moved back to Qingfeng Pavilion yet, and you're thinking of giving Shizhang's child the surname Xiang. Don't you want the Duke to come back? Or do you not want Wanrong to be with him anymore?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Daozi's eyebrows rose even higher, and he shouted, "This is too much! So don't you want Shu Hong and Wan Rong to be together? I'm already ninety-two years old, and if my grandson can't have the surname Wu, can I not even decide what my great-grandson's surname should be? Wan Rong, have a say! I've given birth to so many sons. When they get married, you can give any of them the surname Xiang. I think Hui Yin and Yu He are suitable."

When the King of Zhenbei heard this, he thought it made some sense. But Huiyin had been married for a long time, and Yuhe hadn't made any progress. The other grandchildren didn't even know where their wives were, let alone their children. Instead of waiting for them, he might as well wait for the two in front of him. After thinking for a long time, he said, "My dear relatives, why don't you ask Wanrong what they think?"

"No! Yun Chi's child must have the surname Wu. He doesn't need the title of Prince of Zhenbei Palace." After saying that, his fiery eyes shot directly at Wu Shuhong, full of warning.

Wu Shuhong turned to look at his wife again. Whether this thing could succeed or not depended on her.

Xiang Wanrong's hands grew cold with worry, and she adjusted her sitting position four times in the space of a cup of tea. The temperaments of those seven men kept running through her mind. Speaking of changing surnames, I'm afraid none of them would be easy to talk to.

But at this moment, facing the father-in-law's raging anger and Shu Hong's eyes full of expectation, he had to express his opinion, so he had to bite the bullet and nod, which brought the dispute to a satisfactory end.
