Xia Chujian said, "Aunt, Master Su Buyan is your nephew, right?"

"I'm pretty familiar with him. Have you seen him recently?"

Speaking of her brother's children, Su Shuangluo's attention was diverted once again.

This time it was highly likely that the money would not be transferred to her husband, so Xia Chujian and Zong Ruoning both breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Shuangluo has already started to talk about Su Buyan: "I haven't seen him recently. Not to mention me, even my brother and sister-in-law rarely see him."

"Once this guy gets into the lab, he forgets everything. He doesn't even go home once for months or years."

"You said that my brother only has him as his son. If he doesn't inherit the position of high priest, his sister Su Buyu will have to do it."

Xia Chujian said, "Isn't that great? I remember that Lady Su Buyu has been learning various rituals from the high priest. She must be planning to inherit this position, right?"

One thing that makes the Beichen Empire better than the other three countries is that both men and women have the right of inheritance.

The history books of the Beichen Empire record that this was because the founding emperor of the Beichen Empire, Tan Tai Lin, lived too long and died at the age of over a thousand.

When he died, his only direct descendant was a female heir who had been passed down through generations.

The founding emperor, Tan Tai Lin, particularly wanted his and the queen's direct descendants to inherit the throne, so he passed the position to this female heir and left a law stating that both men and women had the right to inherit the throne, but they must be legitimate children.

This law was once recorded in great detail in history books.

Xia Chujian always thought it was normal and quite good.

Whether the founding emperor implemented the inheritance rights for both men and women in order to protect his throne from falling into the hands of others, or for some other reason, it is now impossible to verify.

Most importantly, this article became a law and was written into the history of the Beichen Empire.

When a princess of the Beichen Empire cannot give birth to a son, she can marry a son-in-law or become the empress.

The Beichen royal family has a special method for selecting heirs, so they are not afraid of others confusing their royal bloodline.

This happens to be an area that Su Shuangluo is very familiar with.

She talked to Xia Chujian, "...but I still think it's better for the position of high priest to be inherited by a male."

"I've watched my brother learn those rituals from my father since I was a kid. They often involve moving heavy objects around, and performing rituals, which is very physically demanding."

"Why would such a delicate little girl like Su Buyu decide to become the high priestess?"

Xia Chujian said, "Everyone has their own aspirations... Noble Lady Su must have her own ideas."

In fact, what she wanted to say was that for genetically evolved people, there was no physical difference between men and women, only differences in personal evolutionary levels.

But I didn't want this topic to cause unnecessary associations in Su Shuangluo, so I didn't continue.

Su Shuangluo sighed and said, "It's a good idea, but if that's the case, she won't be able to get married and can only marry into a family."

"If you can't find a good man to marry into your family, you can only make do with what you have."

"How tragic would it be for a woman to be unloved her entire life?"

When Xia Chujian heard this, she was furious and couldn't help but retort, "It's tragic for a woman to be penniless all her life. What's the big deal if no one loves her?"

Su Shuangluo seemed stunned, staring at her with wide eyes, and said in disbelief: "But...but...what's the big deal about money? We have plenty at home..."

"But you may never meet the person you love in your lifetime. What's even more tragic than not meeting them is that when you meet them, you lose them forever..."

Seeing that her thoughts were about to turn back to her husband, Xia Chujian regretted that she couldn't control her mouth.

She kept telling herself that this person was mentally ill and couldn't be provoked. She couldn't be provoked. From now on, if she could keep silent, she would...

She was afraid that if she said a few more words, Su Shuangluo would return to her previous state.

Zong Ruoning had been listening with a smile on his face. When he noticed that Xia Chujian's expression was slightly distorted, he lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl up.

He said calmly, "Mom, cousin Wuxin has been in a bad mood recently. It seems she broke up with her boyfriend. If you are free, why not take her over to stay for a few days?"

Su Shuangluo's attention was diverted once again.

She was surprised and said, "Wu Xin has a boyfriend? How come I didn't know?!"

"How could this be! She and you were engaged as children!"

Xia Chujian: “!!!”

She was so excited, Qi Lu's speculation was actually true!

Zong Ruoning's face suddenly turned red, and she even glanced at Xia Chujian in panic.

But all he saw was Xia Chujian, full of energy and gossipy. He looked as if he couldn't wait to pull his mother over and "tell the story from the beginning"...

Zong Ruoning couldn't hold it in any longer, so she quickly changed the subject and said, "Mom, Wuxin hasn't been feeling well recently. She'll come to see you when she's better."

"Are you sleepy? Do you want to go take a rest?"

"Wu Xin will come in a couple of days. Can you ask her in person?"

Su Shuangluo was indeed sleepy, but somehow, she still wanted to sit here and accompany these two people.

Her eyelids drooped, and she murmured in a dreamlike voice, "Wuxin...Wuxin...We must find the engagement token, so we can propose marriage..."

Zong Ruoning had cold sweat on his forehead. After a lot of coaxing and persuasion, and even asking the nanny robot to come over for help, he finally sent the sleepy Su Shuangluo back upstairs.

When he came down, Xia Chujian had already left.

She sent him a message saying goodbye.

[Xia Chujian]: Commissioner Zong, please take good care of your mother! I'm going back!
