Male superiority and female superiority: forced love

Prince's Residence, Main Hall

This place is very big, twice as big as the main hall of Prince Linhuai's villa in Wushui Town.

The sky had already been swallowed by inky black. Outside the window, it was pitch black, not even a chirp of an insect could be heard. The twenty-eight lanterns hanging in the house shone upon my face, making me feel drowsy and blurry.

Jiang Wenzhou stared at the woman in front of him who was walking towards him with light steps. He felt that the spring grass was spreading endlessly, the whole city was full of colorful peach blossoms and jade mist, the gurgling stream was full of wind and moon, and the bright moon in the sky was as beautiful as a painting.

There are many beauties in Liangcheng, but such beautiful women are rare in the world.

He now had some understanding of why Qin Guanzhi would risk his life for the woman he loved.

Ruan Chuyin had not yet eaten, and her stomach was as hungry as a deflated balloon. The tea at hand could not satisfy the emptiness in her stomach at all.

Fortunately, there was a plate of jujube paste cakes on the table. Although she didn't like it, it was high in calories, and there was no other choice.

With the conversation of the three people filling his ears, his two fingers slowly moved towards the "two flowers".

Jiang Wenzhou's eyes never left Ruan Chuyin from beginning to end. After noticing her little movement, he raised his eyebrows slightly and signaled the attendant to serve two more plates.

Only then did the Duke and his wife notice her strange behavior and asked in surprise, "Miss Ruan hasn't had her meal yet?"

Ye Sanning remembered that it was already past three quarters past the hour of the twilight when he received the person. Could it be that the thief didn't give him food? Anger suddenly flashed in his eyes.

Ruan Chuyin lowered her head in embarrassment, but didn't deny it. The horrifying scene of Wei Jiusi covered in blood once again jumped into her mind, causing her to shudder all over, and the Duke and Duchess of Zhenguo further confirmed their suspicions.

"How ridiculous!" Ye Sanning slammed the tea bowl down, her chest rising and falling rapidly. She had noticed Ruan Chuyin's slightly swollen lips a long time ago, but had held back from asking. Now it seemed that the thief must have bullied her badly!

I don’t know if Mr. Qi caught that bastard.

Qin Lang glanced at the prince and coughed softly, which made Ye Sanning realize her own loss of composure. However, she didn't care at all. She picked up a piece of fruit and started eating with Ruan Chuyin.

Jiang Wenzhou silently scraped the teacup with the lid in his hand, wondering what the General's wife meant by "how unreasonable!" However, since the two of them didn't seem to be interested in continuing, he didn't ask any further questions.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet.

Finally, it was Qin Lang who broke the silence and asked, "Your Highness, I wonder what the method you proposed last time to save Guan Zhi was?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wenzhou slowly put down the tea bowl in his hand and looked in the direction of Ruan Chuyin.

Originally he wanted to get the girl involved, but now he has changed his mind.

Perhaps his gaze was too strong, so Ruan Chuyin could still clearly feel this intimidating look even when she lowered her head.

The aura of this Crown Prince is completely different from that of Prince Linhuai.

Both men gave her the impression of being cool and handsome, but Jiang Xuanzhou's coldness came from his unsmiling expression.

Jiang Wenzhou, on the other hand, was the exact opposite. His features were exquisite, his fair face angular and sharp, his eyes deep and bright, revealing a toughness. His nose was exceptionally high, adding a touch of toughness to his delicate features.

The most beautiful thing about him was his exquisite lip shape, both the outline and the slightly upturned curve seemed just right. However, the aura he exuded was truly cold, so cold that Ruan Chuyin couldn't describe it, so cold that even from a distance of ten feet away, she could feel the chill emanating from him.

"Since Miss Ruan hasn't eaten yet, why don't you go to the side hall and have some hot food first?" Jiang Wenzhou suddenly suggested.

Qin Lang immediately understood what he meant and agreed, "Your Highness is right. It's getting late, Miss Ruan, go and use some."

Ruan Chuyin was really hungry, so she didn't act pretentiously. She got up and followed the attendant to the side hall.

As soon as she stepped out, Qin Lang couldn't wait to ask how to save Qin Guanzhi.

Jiang Wenzhou didn't elaborate, saying bluntly, "I think the most urgent task is to wake Prince Linhuai up as soon as possible."

"How easy is that? Mr. Qi hasn't been able to make him open his eyes yet." Qin Lang was instantly deflated when he heard this method.

"Old Qi said that Prince Linhuai is now conscious. So we need to give him a strong dose of medicine."

"What do you think, Your Highness?" Qin Lang straightened his back immediately. Ye Sangning also put down the fruit in his hand and looked at Jiang Wenzhou quietly.

"Tell him that if she doesn't wake up, Miss Ruan will be executed!"

"Is this... possible?" Qin Lang asked doubtfully.

"I think it's feasible. And we have to make it a reality!"

"What do you mean?" Ye Sanning couldn't help but ask. If anything happened to Ruan Chuyin, who knows how crazy her son would be. She couldn't take that risk.

"Ruan Chuyin lives, Prince Qin lives. Force Jiang Xuanzhou to change his confession." Jiang Wenzhou's eyes were extremely firm, and in the eyes of others, it seemed that he had already won.

"Your Highness, what if Prince Linhuai refuses?" Qin Lang was filled with concerns. Jiang Xuanzhou had been stabbed three times by Guan Zhi. Could he change his confession after such a huge vengeance? He felt that was unlikely.

"If it's Miss Ruan, he will definitely do it. And this is the only chance for Prince Qin to get away with it. At least I haven't thought of a more permanent solution than this yet." After saying that, Jiang Wenzhou picked up the tea bowl and blew gently on the tea.

How many men in the world can watch such a beautiful woman die?

"Then...how do we prove Ruan Chuyin's guilt?" Ye asked.

Qin Lang already had a plan in mind, and said quietly, "It's not necessary to prove a crime, as long as we can anger the Queen and make her say something harsh in front of Prince Linhuai."

Jiang Wenzhou nodded in agreement. He had the same idea.

Only if Jiang Xuanzhou believes that Ruan Chuyin will be implicated because of Qin Guanzhi's conviction will he choose to compromise.

At this time, Ye Sanning raised a new concern: "You mean, Miss Ruan still needs to go to the palace to see the queen?"

Prince Linhuai has been lying down until now. Li Chanjuan's emotions have not been stable for a long time. What if she uses lynching to kill someone, can the emperor chop off the queen's head? At Li Chanjuan's height, the law means nothing to her.

"No need. Just let the Queen tell Ruan Chuyin in front of Jiang Xuanzhou that she wants Ruan Chuyin to die." Jiang Wenzhou reiterated the key point.

"Alright, I'll take care of this." Qin Lang had a plan in mind. Isn't it easy to anger Li Chanjuan? Just bring the Madam along. Once she takes action, even the most mild-tempered rabbit can turn into a biting lion.

Jiang Wenzhou nodded and said, "I will send someone to pass on the message to Prince Linhuai. Wait until he wakes up, then you can take action."

When Ruan Chuyin returned to the main hall, the tense atmosphere was gone, and the conversation had become more insignificant.

That night, she stayed at the Zhenguo Mansion, her courtyard separated only by a wall from Qin Guanzhi's. Everyone in the mansion was thrilled by the arrival of this beauty, especially the other two young men, who were still young. However, knowing that she was the woman favored by their eldest brother, they could only admire her from afar, not harboring any romantic thoughts.
