Zhou Bin had no choice but to let her do what she wanted. He had no choice anyway.
Zhou Bin then asked, "Princess, what brings you here today?"
Princess Ruyi was furious and asked, "Brother, why don't you agree to divorce me? Why don't you want me to marry you?"
Zhou Bin was stunned by what he said. He thought to himself that this girl was too direct.
But since they have asked, I have to tell them.
So Zhou Bin said sincerely: "Princess, I know your feelings for me, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. But my poor wife at home is still waiting for me. Without me, she can't live, so please help me, Princess."
When Princess Ruyi heard Zhou Bin talking about his wife, his words were full of affection, and she felt a pang of pain in her heart.
She said anxiously: "Brother, am I not as good as your country wife? I am a princess, and my father loves me the most. If I marry you, you will have a bright future!"
Zhou Bin smiled and shook his head after hearing this: "Princess, although what you said is true, it is not important to me. I just want to live a good life with my wife. I don't want wealth and glory."
Princess Ruyi was stunned. Why didn't Zhou Bin care about wealth and fame? There wasn't even a hint of emotion on his face!
Zhou Bin continued, "Princess, you are a golden branch and jade leaf, admired by all people, it is not difficult for you to find a perfect husband. I sincerely hope that the princess can find a perfect husband as soon as possible and live a happy life."
Princess Ruyi was completely desperate: "Brother, do you really despair of me?"
Zhou Bin hurriedly explained: "Princess, please don't say that. That's not what I meant. It's just that I already have a family and I can't let my wife down. Please forgive me, Princess."
Princess Ruyi looked at Zhou Bin's calm expression and knew in her heart that no matter how hard she tried, there was no way out.
She sighed: "It seems that my brother and I are really not destined to be together!"
Zhou Bin thought to himself, you just realized it, I couldn’t continue talking a long time ago.
Princess Ruyi said with lifeless eyes: "Brother, since you are not interested, I will not force you anymore. I hope you can live happily with your wife until old age."
After saying this, Princess Ruyi left in tears. Zhou Bin hurriedly sent her to the gate and saw her off respectfully.
After seeing the princess off, Zhou Bin finally breathed a sigh of relief. What had just happened was indeed very embarrassing for him.
Now that I have spoken out, I believe the princess will not bother me anymore.
Zhou Bin just waited to report to His Majesty the next day and then return home as soon as possible.
The next day, Zhou Bin came to the Golden Palace early and asked the emperor to allow him to go home to visit his relatives.
The emperor already knew what happened yesterday, and he tried to persuade his daughter for a while.
Although the princess was a little sad now, she had already said that she would not force it anymore.
Although the emperor was unhappy with Zhou Bin for rejecting his daughter, he also felt that Zhou Bin was a man of affection and righteousness.
Therefore, he did not blame Zhou Bin, but agreed to Zhou Bin's request.
When Zhou Bin saw that the emperor was so reasonable, he felt relieved.
After bidding farewell to the emperor, Zhou Bin took some servants and set off overnight to return to his hometown, Wangshui Town.
Along the way, Zhou Bin was so eager to go home that he wished he could grow wings and fly back.
After more than a month of continuous travel, Zhou Bin finally returned to Wangshui Town.
When he returned to the town, everyone was in an uproar.
Everyone came out to watch, and the man on horseback turned out to be the young man who used to work as a laborer in the town.
It seems that he must have passed the high school entrance exam this time, otherwise he would not be like this now.
Everyone followed Zhou Bin's cavalry, with envy and surprise in their eyes.
Zhou Bin didn't care about everyone's gaze. He just wanted to return to his shabby courtyard as soon as possible to see his beloved wife Xiaonan whom he missed day and night.
When the troops arrived in front of the courtyard, all the neighbors came out, with a look of surprise on their faces, wondering which master had come here.
After everyone saw clearly that it was Zhou Bin, they were all surprised. They didn't expect that Zhou Bin, who went out to take the exam, actually came back with success!
Everyone was so excited that they knelt on the ground to express their respect to Zhou Bin.
Zhou Bin hurriedly got off his horse and asked everyone not to be too polite.
All he wanted now was to get back home as soon as possible and reunite with his wife.
But when he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Zhou Bin's expression changed.
I saw that the gate of the courtyard was open, and the courtyard was already overgrown with weeds. It seemed that no one had lived there for a long time.
Zhou Bin's heart tightened and he hurriedly stepped inside.
As soon as he entered the door, he shouted loudly: "Xiao Nan, where are you? I'm back!"
But the yard was silent, and no one came out to respond to his call.
Zhou Bin became even more anxious and rushed into the house, only to find that the house was already deserted and there was not even a single person in sight.
Zhou Bin became nervous and looked around the yard, and asked his men to search quickly as well.
But after they looked around, they found that the yard had been abandoned for a long time and there was no one in sight.
Zhou Bin panicked at the time. Where had his wife gone? Did something happen to her?
Thinking of this, Zhou Bin almost went crazy and ran out in a hurry.
At this time, Aunt Wang, the neighbor next door, walked in. She looked at Zhou Bin in surprise, only to find that he had changed a lot.
When he went out, Zhou Bin was still wearing cloth clothes, looking very shabby.
But when he came back now, Zhou Bin was already dressed in fine clothes and riding a horse, and he was no longer the same as before.
Aunt Wang was so panicked that she quickly knelt down and bowed, calling him "Sir".
Zhou Bin saw that it was Aunt Wang and hurriedly asked her to stand up: "It turned out to be Aunt Wang, please stand up quickly. I want to ask you, where is my wife?"
