For a moment, everyone present was in an uproar.

The old lady reacted with disbelief for a long time before asking, “Really?”

The trembling voice was filled with undisguised surprise.

“Really! Dayan won! The Beiyao Kingdom asked for peace and was willing to let Ruyue Jùnzhǔ return to the court.”

For a moment, the old lady was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes, and others also congratulated her.

Everyone just found out about this, but Jiang Wu had known about it a long time ago. After all, she was the prime minister’s wife, so she was always more informed.

She went to see Chu Chan on purpose, and sure enough, her sister-in-law was the only one gritting her teeth, while her husband next to her had already looked distracted.

She was really fun to watch.

Someone touched her arm. It was Qingyang.

“You are smiling too much.” The woman joked.

Jiang Wu quickly restrained herself and picked up the wine glass to hide her smile, but then she thought something was wrong.

“It’s a happy event! Why can’t I smile?”

Everybody was laughing.

Qingyang didn’t say anything but looked at her with a complicated look.

Jiang Wu felt that she could understand her. She must be quite pitiful in her eyes, right? But in fact, she was not.

Speaking of Ruyue Jùnzhǔ, she was truly a legendary figure. She was originally just a farm girl. When the Duke’s wife was pregnant with her sister-in-law, she went up the mountain to worship Buddha and was about to give birth. At that time, Ruyue Jùnzhǔ’s mother was also about to give birth.

Her mother was also very bold. She made her daughter a daughter of a Duke’s family. The truth was exposed when they were fifteen years old and Chu Chan was taken back.

But after raising her for more than ten years, the Duchess had developed feelings for this daughter, so she decided to raise her together.

What followed was a bunch of twists and turns, which were so exciting that it would take three days and three nights to tell them all. For example, Chu Chan’s current husband was originally the fiancé of Ruyue Jùnzhǔ. It was said that the concubines that man had taken were mostly modeled after the Jùnzhǔ.

Of course, Ruyue Jùnzhǔ was not a Jùnzhǔ at that time. She was only granted this status when she married into a foreign kingdom later.

Chu Chan had made a lot of efforts in the marriage and was also criticized a lot in private.

However, the world only knew about the love-hate entanglement between these people and did not know that their prime minister was also involved in it back then.

Thinking about it this way, Chu Ling was okay, right?

Others made a bunch of substitutes, but he only made his own.

“The Prime Minister has arrived!”

As expected, the busy man finally showed up at his mother’s birthday party.

From afar, she saw a man in black robes walking towards her. Even from such a distance, his aura was already overwhelming.

Even though he was nearly 40 years old, he didn’t really look his age. Instead, his handsome and angular face was unmatched by anyone younger than him. Perhaps the cold and majestic aura around him was the only thing that time had given him.

Jiang Wu lowered her head.

Whenever she heard the storytellers on the street talking about the story of Chu Chan and the other two with relish, she couldn’t help but sigh.

Too weak. Compared to Chu Ling, really too weak.

After enduring humiliation and sending his beloved away, he spent more than ten years climbing to a position above everyone else. Now, he was determined to take her back despite the pressure from the army that was approaching.

Wasn’t this even more heroic?

It was a pity that Chu Ling hid such a touching story too well, so she was the only audience.

The moving mountain had already sat down beside her. A thick pine resin that resembled him quickly enveloped her. Before Jiang Wu even raised her head, her hands and feet were already stiff due to the oppression. She suppressed her emotions and whispered, “My Lord.”

He looked very submissive.

Everyone present was afraid of him, including Jiang Wu.

Others were afraid of him, so they only saw him a few times throughout the year. She was afraid of him, but she had to see him every day. Just thinking about it made her feel miserable.

The man responded by humming in a low voice.

Jiang Wu was used to it and filled her glass with wine.

She lowered her eyes and saw Chu Ling’s hand placed on the table, his bony fingers tapping gently. Although his hand was well-proportioned, it was definitely not slender, and it always made people feel that anything he held could be broken.

Only the emerald on the ring was shining brightly, which Chu Ling never took off.

Jiang Wu was slightly distracted when she suddenly heard him ask: “What’s that scent on you?”
