Male superiority and female superiority: forced love

In the afternoon, Ruan Chuyin returned to the Linhuai Palace. The moment she saw the princess, she was so surprised that she immediately went to the palace to inform the prince.

Jiang Xuanzhou was currently swamped with work. His father was critically ill, his mother had disappeared, and overnight, his temples had grown a lot more gray hair.

His wife's safe return was a rare piece of good news in such a difficult time. He said a few words to his attendants, then pulled himself together and rushed back home.

"Xuan Zhou, I'm back." Ruan Chuyin put her arms around his neck and found that his eyelids were black and blue. He looked haggard, his face was much thinner, and there was a weariness in his eyes that was hard to hide.

Jiang Xuanzhou looked at his wife carefully, confirmed that she was fine, and hugged her tightly in his arms, feeling the warmth that he hadn't felt for a long time.

"I heard you were kidnapped in Nanxing. What's going on?" He was completely distraught upon hearing the news of the attack on the Zhenbei Palace in Nanxing Kingdom. Just then, the imperial physician informed him that his father was nearing death. Neither he nor Jiang Wenzhou could leave, so Qin Guanzhi had to go alone. Fortunately, his wife was safe and sound. She seemed even fatter than before she left, which made him a little confused.

Just as she was about to ask, Ruan Chuyin spoke first. Following her master's advice, she told her husband Li Chanjuan the truth about the love-hate relationship between her and Elder He San.

"Impossible!" Jiang Xuanzhou's eyes suddenly widened, his expression even worse than before.

How important was the selection of a queen to an emperor? Both character and family background were crucial. If the queen's mother had been married before, she would have been eliminated from the initial selection process. How could she have ascended to the throne?

Ruan Chuyin knew that her husband would definitely not be able to accept this fact, so she said no more and just told him that his mother's life was not in danger.

But Jiang Xuanzhou had to see with his own eyes that his mother was safe and sound, otherwise he would not believe anyone no matter how much they said.

At this point, Ruan Chuyin took him to his master, who promised to give him news the next day.

The next day, Ge Yinghan brought Li Chanjuan back, shocking Ruan Chuyin. Elder He had simply handed her over so readily?

Li Chanjuan hugged Jiang Xuanzhou and cried loudly, then pulled him into the inner room and talked for a long time.

Seeing her master pouring her another glass of strong liquor, Ruan Chuyin asked in confusion, "Master, isn't Elder He here?"

Ge Yinghan knew what his disciple was curious about. He took a sip of his wine and said with a smile, "I have to send your mother-in-law back later. If she doesn't want to, that's fine. With He Tuoling's strength, he will find her sooner or later."

So that’s it. It’s not about being refreshed, but about being confident.

After the two finished chatting, Li Chanjuan really went back with Ge Yinghan obediently, leaving Jiang Xuanzhou standing there in a daze.

Although he still didn't want to believe it in his heart, this time it was his mother who told him in person, so no matter how hard it was to accept, he had to force himself to digest it.

Now he at least confirmed that his mother's life was not in danger, which was better than anything else.

In the following days, Ruan Chuyin went to Qinyuan every day to inquire about Wei Jiusi's situation. Wen Cangnan and Yue Shiba were very happy to see her back and told her not to worry.

Hearing them say this, Ruan Chuyin grew even more nervous. Wei Jiusi had always been very competitive, and she wondered how well he'd recovered. If he couldn't regain his former strength, she wondered if that would affect his ability to continue serving as Pavilion Master. It was clear that her husband preferred to wander the world and carve out a niche for himself rather than run a restaurant.

Two days later, with a loud bang, the stone gate in the back mountain was shaken open by a palm, and everyone finally waited for Wei Jiusi to come out.
