Male superiority and female superiority: forced love

She was particularly satisfied with this dinner.

The roasted goose at Shanhailou is indeed the most popular signature dish. It is so delicious that even if she were to cook it, she couldn’t make it taste this good.

As night fell, Ruan Chuyin obediently returned to her room to rest. The nearly three-meter-long carved bed was covered with thick, fluffy brocade, and soon she fell into a sweet dream.

At the same time, the air pressure in Xiang Yunchi's room dropped to an extremely low point, and three men in black knelt on one knee in front of him respectfully.

"Lord, the Moon Shadow Pavilion destroyed two of our branch temples. Thirty mid-level disciples were injured, five seriously, and one was killed on the spot."

With a crisp "bang", the tea bowl in his hand shattered into pieces in an instant. His deep, narrow eyes stared at the three people in front of him, and the anger in his heart suddenly rose.

"A bunch of useless people! During the few days I was away, you all became so lazy that you even lost the basic ability to eat."

No wonder Wei Jiusi mocked him by calling him a good-for-nothing. Damn, with his combat power, calling him a good-for-nothing was a compliment.

"My lord, they are the ones who lack martial ethics. Many of those people are highly skilled in martial arts and are not disciples of Yueying Pavilion at all." Ming Wu complained aggrievedly, while trying his best to save face between the lines.

"Are you sure?" Xiang Yunchi's eyes narrowed, and the end of his low voice rose slightly, containing a dangerous aura.

"Disciple is certain. The moves those three used were not from the Moon Shadow Pavilion at all. They were masked, and their attacks were extremely brutal. The injured disciples said that their internal energy was quite strong. Apart from Wei Jiusi, there couldn't be such a skilled person in the Moon Shadow Pavilion."

"That means Wei Jiusi has recruited a strong man or he has found an ally to fight against me together?" Xiang Yunchi suddenly felt a headache.

"I will personally go to the Moon Shadow Pavilion to settle this blood debt. Also, have you completed everything I ordered you to do?"

"My lord, everything has been done. The restaurant is located at No. 500 Liming Street. The house that the girl wanted has also been bought. It is at No. 3 Lihua Street, next to Liming Street. It has an entrance and an exit, good lighting and ventilation, and except that it is a little small, there are no other shortcomings." Ming Wu reported in detail.

"It has to be a small one! Have someone clean the place again and make sure every corner is spotless. Hatsune likes roses, so you should replace all the flowers in the yard. Notify Mr. Wang and Mr. Li to come over and ask them to stay and protect Hatsune. By the way, how big is that restaurant and what is its name?" Xiang Yunchi suddenly asked.

"Zuixian Tower. Two floors." Ming Wu replied respectfully.

The master said he couldn't find a restaurant that was too big or too small. So he specifically went to Zuixianlou and used threats and bribes to drive out the previous owner. The chefs, as the master requested, were replaced with a group of apprentices who couldn't cook. They'd been making diners vomit over the past two days, and he was waiting for Miss Ruan to come and save the day.

Xiang Yunchi nodded in satisfaction. He had always trusted Ming Wu and Ming San in their work. If their martial arts skills weren't inferior to those of Elder Wang and Elder Li, it would have been a good idea for them to stay and take care of Hatsune.

"Hire two older women to help out in the restaurant." He thought for a moment and added.

"My Lord, should we recruit a few more young ladies?" Ming Wu pondered. He felt that Miss Ruan would prefer interacting with young women.

"Ming Wu, if you think you have the ability to find it, then go ahead and do it." Xiang Yunchi felt that he had praised him in vain in his heart just now, so he waved his hand and told them all to get out.

After settling Ruan Chuyin, he went to find Wei Jiusi.

This man is truly a man of few words. Just because the Underworld Palace took a deal they couldn't handle, he's constantly looking for trouble. Now he's even dragging his allies into this. He's shameless to the extreme.

He's trying to see who has more friends, right? He'll bring two good fighters along and attack us.

That night, Ruan Chuyin had a good dream. She dreamed that all her wishes came true and everything was moving steadily in the direction she wanted.

But at this moment, a shocking and earth-shattering event was happening in Liangcheng, Dayong.

Qin Guanzhi, the prince of the Zhenguo Mansion, was taken to the Dali Temple to await trial for stabbing the Prince of Linhuai three times.

Emperor Jiang Chenfeng of Dayong and Empress Li Chanjuan were furious. If it weren't for their relationship with Duke Qin Lang and Sword God of Wangxi Mountain Qi Ruyi, they would have ordered Qin Guan to be executed.

Even now, Jiang Xuanzhou hasn't regained consciousness. The imperial physician reported that Prince Qin had executed a fatal blow, with each strike piercing his internal organs. It was a blessing that Prince Linhuai was still holding on.

Throughout the dispute, Yu Yu and Chu Yi each held their own opinion.

Yu Yu reported back that Ruan Chuyin and the young master were in love with each other and had originally agreed to set off for the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion the next day to get engaged. However, he didn't expect that Prince Linhuai would interfere and use his power to bully Ruan Chuyin, which made the young master furious and committed a heinous crime.

But what Chuyi reported back was that Ruan Chuyin was in love with Prince Linhuai, and the gold-plated hairpin in Prince Linhuai's hand was the best evidence.

After hearing this, Yu Yu became very anxious and took out the jade leaf hairpin that the young master had given to Ruan Chuyin. However, there was no witness or evidence at the moment, so it was obvious that Chuyi's statement was more convincing.

But no matter what the truth is, Qin Guanzhi's assassination of Prince Linhuai is absolutely true. Even if the emperor shows mercy, he will not be able to escape the punishment, and the entire Zhenguogong Mansion will be implicated.

It was Crown Prince Jiang Wenzhou who stepped in and said something to the Emperor that made Jiang Chenfeng regain some sanity and agree to wait until Ruan Chuyin was found before sentencing Qin Guanzhi.

A hurricane blew across the entire Liangcheng, and people searched everywhere for Ruan Chuyin's whereabouts.

Undercurrents surged within the court, creating a turbulent and treacherous situation. Some ministers with keen senses switched sides, fearing they would be affected. However, some veteran officials remained calm, observing the court's developments and remaining silent.

The Zhenguogong Mansion was the greatest supporter of the current Crown Prince, Jiang Wenzhou. It commanded an army of three million soldiers and a million private troops, totaling four million, representing one-third of Dayong's total military strength. Executing Qin Guanzhi would be tantamount to forcing the Zhenguogong to rebel.

A few "cunning" fence-sitters saw through the situation clearly. Jiang Wenzhou was the son of the former queen and would definitely not let the Zhenguo Mansion fall like this, so this matter had to be handled one step at a time.

To save his son, the Duke of Zhenguo specially sent someone to invite the Sword God of Wangxi Mountain. Qi Ruyi is not only an outstanding swordsman, but also an unparalleled doctor.

During this period, Qin Lang and Emperor Dayong used all kinds of elixirs to keep Jiang Xuanzhou alive, waiting for Qi Ruyi to come and save him.

Ruan Chuyin was far away in Beiyue Country and knew nothing about this. By the time she found out, the situation was completely different.

Ruan Chuyin was quite satisfied with the restaurant that Xiang Yunchi bought, no matter its geographical location, size or layout design. In addition, there were two ladies in the restaurant, which made Ruan Chuyin even more excited.

She pursed her lips and carefully examined the contract in her hand. The monthly salary was four hundred taels, which looked pretty good.

Xiang Yunchi had carefully considered this amount. If it was too low, it would be unattractive; if it was too high, it would contradict what he had said.

Four hundred taels, no more, no less, just right within Ruan Chuyin's comfort level.

"Hatsune, you've seen that the chefs in this restaurant are not very good at cooking. If they continue like this, all the diners will run away. Fortunately, they have good knife skills and are more than capable of helping you. Besides, I have to go on a long trip soon, and I don't feel at ease leaving the restaurant to them. With your help, I can leave with peace of mind. I know that a monthly salary of four hundred taels is a little low and cannot compare to the high amount offered by those big restaurants, but this is the most I can offer at the moment. I promise that I will give you a raise when the restaurant makes a profit in the future." Xiang Yunchi spoke with such emotion, so moving and sincere that no one could refuse.

Ruan Chuyin stared into his beautiful, sparkling eyes, and Xiao Hei's head suddenly jumped into view.

Looks like, so much like! So pitiful, I want to jerk off!

"Okay, then I'll stay and try. Yunchi, when will you come back?" She put the signed contract into her sleeve and asked Yunchi.

"About half a month. If everything goes well, maybe even faster." He replied vaguely.

If you win, you can go back the next day. If you are injured, you will have to stay for a few days.

Ruan Chuyin nodded slightly, and immediately went to the kitchen to work with a sense of responsibility.

Xiang Yunchi not only found her a job, but also her accommodation. She loved the house no matter how she looked at it; it was spotlessly clean, and the yard was filled with bright red roses, a truly beautiful sight.

The most important thing was that the bathroom looked particularly bright and spacious, and the bathing utensils on display were all exquisite, showing that they were carefully arranged. Ruan Chuyin wanted to give Xiang Yunchi a banknote, but he confiscated it, saying that he could keep it on credit first and pay it back later.

With food in hand, there is no need to panic. Xiang Yunchi once again struck a chord with Ruan Chuyin, finding the right balance.
