This man was Yue Shan, the commander of the Chu family's guards. It was probably him who led a group of guards to escort the mother and daughter to the capital.
"The son-in-law is getting more and more handsome." Yue Shan smiled憨厚ly, everything was still the same as before.
Qin Wanru was initially conflicted, since the boy had nominally divorced Chu Yan and had no further connection with the Chu family.
Moreover, having heard that he had become increasingly successful over the years, even becoming a favorite of the Crown Prince and surpassing the Chu family in power, she was somewhat worried that he might turn his back on her.
After all, he had suffered a lot of mistreatment in the Chu family back then. Although he made up for it later, he still felt a little guilty for some reason.
She even despised herself a little. Back then, she looked down on her son-in-law for being incompetent and a good-for-nothing, but now that he has become successful and capable, she is now filled with anxiety and insecurity.
As long as the other party continued to greet her with the same respect, and with the addition of the title "Mother-in-law," she was overjoyed. Her interactions with Yue Shan and the others were no different from before, and she immediately felt relieved. She didn't even bother to correct herself that she was no longer the other party's mother-in-law.
"Grandma, come in quickly, it's warm and comfortable inside," Qin Wanru said with a bright smile, extending a warm invitation.
Zuan hesitated for a moment: "I'm afraid this is not appropriate."
This is my mother-in-law's and sister-in-law's place; it's not appropriate for me to go in alone.
Qin Wanru's face hardened: "What's inappropriate about it? We come from a military family, we don't need so many formalities, come in quickly!"
Chu Huanzhao also pushed his buttocks in, saying, "Yes, yes, brother-in-law, hurry up and go in. Mother misses you so much."
Qin Wanru blushed and glared at her daughter fiercely: "What nonsense are you talking about? It was clearly you..."
She hesitated halfway through her sentence, feeling embarrassed to continue. Was she supposed to say that her second daughter had been missing her brother-in-law and had been talking about him the whole way?
If he finds out, he'll be so arrogant!
It's infuriating! He was clearly a live-in son-in-law back then, and Chu Yan was indeed the most beautiful woman in Mingyue City, the goddess in the hearts of countless people. Marrying him was already a stroke of good luck for him.
But this guy wasn't satisfied yet; he wanted to take all the sisters down with him.
No, they almost didn't even spare the pot.
Whether from anger or something else, Qin Wanru's cheeks were slightly flushed.
Even though that brat is successful and powerful now, he has no chance of taking both of my precious daughters away. Not even the Emperor himself could!
Suddenly she froze, staring blankly at Zu'an: "Aunt, how is your cultivation level...?"
She was too embarrassed to continue, because she couldn't sense any energy fluctuations from Zu An at all; he was just like an ordinary person.
Did something happen to him and he become disabled?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a pang of pity. This little guy really had a hard life. He lost his parents when he was young and was known as a good-for-nothing in Mingyue City. He finally managed to turn his life around and become a master cultivator, and even made a name for himself in the capital. But then he accidentally became a cripple again.
Although he is currently favored by the Crown Princess, this is, after all, a world of cultivation. Without strength, even if one gains power, it will be fleeting.
Women are fickle, and if the crown prince stops favoring him one day, he might fall into obscurity.
Sigh, it seems I need to be nicer to him and let him feel the warmth of home.
Since Xiao Zhao treats him better and is more affectionate, I tend to turn a blind eye...
Hmm, something feels off. When he was at the peak of his career, I didn't let him have all the women involved, but now that he's become a useless person, I'm letting them have all the women involved.
This won't do.
Chu Yan and Xiao Zhao are so beautiful, countless people must covet them. How can he protect them now that he's a cripple? It will only bring him trouble.
Alas, what a pity. If he still had cultivation, having Xiao Zhao follow him would be a double blessing.
She hadn't expected her to change so quickly. She had been firmly against it before, but now she regretted it. Heaven above, if it could restore her ancestor's cultivation, she would be willing to give up even if it meant losing her and her sisters...
Zuan never expected that in the blink of an eye, Qin Wanru would conjure up countless dramatic scenarios in her mind.
Seeing Xiao Zhao's worried eyes, he smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Mother-in-law, I'm fine. My cultivation method is special, and others can't detect my energy fluctuations."
"Are you really alright?" Qin Wanru asked, somewhat puzzled. She had never heard of such a thing before.
"It's really nothing. If you don't believe me, go ask around in the capital. I was in a fight just a few days ago," Zu An chuckled.
Hearing his certainty, Qin Wanru finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Suddenly his expression changed, and he hurriedly muttered to himself, "Heaven above, I was just talking nonsense, please don't take it seriously."
