Chapter 1608 "When the Geese Return" - Ruan Xiwen, Zhuang Yushan

"You are Zhuang Hanyan?" Jiang Chen approached Zhuang Hanyan and looked her up and down.

At this moment, Zhuang Hanyan was chained up and was extremely exhausted.

Jiang Chen could even see the scars on Zhuang Hanyan's body.

However, Zhuang Hanyan only glanced at Jiang Chen when he said that.

"If you want to control your destiny, you can come with me." As he spoke, Jiang Chen picked up the iron chain binding Zhuang Hanyan and squeezed it hard.

In an instant, the iron chain turned into iron dust.

"..." Zhuang Hanyan's pupils contracted.

“If you want to escape your fate, come with me. If you want to continue like this, then pretend I was never here,” Jiang Chen said.

"What can you teach me? What do I have to give in return?" Zhuang Hanyan asked.

"Naturally, it's all kinds of abilities. And you... after you've learned the skills, you can go and take revenge, but you must become a member of my Jiang family and serve my Jiang family." Jiang Chen's goal was simple: to make Zhuang Hanyan a maid, a guard, or a manager in the Jiang family.

Zhuang Hanyan looked at Jiang Chen and remained silent.

"Think about it yourself. I'll give you fifteen minutes." Jiang Chen waved his hand.

The next moment, all the chains binding Zhuang Hanyan snapped.

Zhuang Hanyan stared in shock at the broken iron chain.

Time passed minute by minute.

Jiang Chen stood in the room without saying a word.

Less than fifteen minutes later, Zhuang Hanyan said, "I agree."

"Should we go and tidy up?" Jiang Chen asked.

“Okay.” Zhuang Hanyan did not refuse.

“As long as I’m here, no one in the village will dare to do anything to you. By the way, do you want to kill your adoptive parents?” Jiang Chen said.

Zhuang Hanyan paused in her steps.

“However, I don’t mind killing them now. Once you’ve completed your studies, you can torment them however you want,” Jiang Chen said.

"Then we'll talk about it later," Zhuang Hanyan said.

"Okay." Jiang Chen glanced at Zhuang Hanyan.

He could clearly sense Zhuang Hanyan's restraint.

However, it was Zhuang Hanyan's forbearance that made her think more highly of her.

Zhuang Hanyan quickly finished packing.

"Walk."

Jiang Chen waved his hand and left with Zhuang Hanyan.

It flew away.

"This..." Zhuang Hanyan was dumbfounded.

She never expected that Jiang Chen would actually take her flying.

"Flying on a sword, you can do that too someday," Jiang Chen said.

"Is this what flying on a sword is?" Zhuang Hanyan was shocked.

In those miscellaneous books, she had read that immortals could fly on swords.

Could this Jiang Chen be a deity?

After a moment, Zhuang Hanyan asked, "Where are we going?"

"Let's go to the capital first," Jiang Chen said.

"The capital city..." Zhuang Hanyan's gaze was deep and uneasy.

"You can only join the dealer's group when you're strong enough," Jiang Chen said.

Zhuang Hanyan nodded.

Soon, Jiang Chen brought Zhuang Hanyan to the capital.

"So fast?" Zhuang Hanyan was dumbfounded.

“Flying on a sword is naturally faster. Let’s go buy a house first,” Jiang Chen said.

"Buy a house??" Zhuang Hanyan was slightly taken aback.

However, Zhuang Hanyan didn't say much about Jiang Chen's decision.

In just one hour, Jiang Chen bought a five-courtyard siheyuan (traditional courtyard house).

"Give."

After arriving at the courtyard, Jiang Chen took out a spatial bag and handed it to Zhuang Hanyan: "Do as I say from now on."

"Yes," Zhuang Hanyan replied.

At this moment, Jiang Chen certified Zhuang Hanyan as a ninth-rank steward.

"This..." Zhuang Hanyan stared at the spatial bag in shock.

This is the legendary space bag.

Is Jiang Chen really a god?

"You cook here first, I'm going out to take care of some things." Jiang Chen waved his hand, and some grains and ingredients appeared on the ground.

"Okay." Zhuang Hanyan nodded.

Jiang Chen turned and left.

A short while later, Jiang Chen bought several houses from his maid.

"It's getting dark, but we can still go check out the dealer."

When Jiang Chen was buying the house, he had already figured out the location of the capital of the Great An Dynasty.

We've already figured out where the bookmaker is.

Now that they've signed off on Zhuang Hanyan, they naturally need to sign off on the rest of the Zhuang family as well.

Soon, Jiang Chen entered the dealer's territory.

Jiang Chen entered the Zhuang family to meet the family's female members.

Unexpectedly, I met Zhuang Shiyang.

Zhuang Shiyang in "When the Geese Return".

In the drama, he is the patriarch of the Zhuang family. Zhuang Shiyang poisoned his biological father to prevent him from impeaching the powerful eunuch, and used this opportunity to become the eunuch's adopted son, serving as his henchman for money laundering. He also framed his mentor, the Ruan family, leading to their execution. After forcibly marrying Ruan Xiwen, he crippled her legs to control her. To cover up his patricide, he falsely accused Zhuang Hanyan of being the reincarnation of the "Barefoot Ghost," causing her to be abandoned by her family from a young age. Just as Ruan Xiwen, who had finally obtained a divorce, was about to find happiness again with her beloved Yuwen Chang'an, he poisoned and set fire to their house, killing them both.

"This Zhuang Shiyang is a ruthless man."

"That kind of person is a pervert..."

Jiang Chen glanced at it only once, then turned and left.

However, Jiang Chen did not go to talk to Zhuang Shiyang, but instead went to find his target.

Soon, Jiang Chen arrived at the courtyard where Ruan Xiwen was.

At the same time as Ruan Xiwen appeared, a system notification sounded.

"Sign in."

Jiang Chen silently recited in his heart.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in and received a Golden Silk Armor.]

"A bolt of golden silk soft armor?"

"This is the fourteenth time I've checked in."

"Golden silk soft armor is a common type of armor in martial arts dramas. It appears in dramas such as 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' and 'Nirvana in Fire'."

The golden silk armor obtained from system check-ins is made of millennia-old silkworm silk and can neutralize internal energy.

According to the system introduction, if struck by a martial artist, the internal energy of a first-class martial artist can neutralize 80%, the internal energy of a congenital martial artist can neutralize 40%, and the internal energy of a grandmaster martial artist can neutralize 20%.

"Good stuff."

"One Luo is one hundred and forty-four."

"good."

"Although the ladies of the Jiang family, as well as Jiang Meili and Jiang Meiyan, already have the Flowing Cloud Dress, the Golden Silk Armor is not useless. With more and more Golden Silk Armor being used, we still need to carefully consider who will use it in the future."

"Whether it's for future generations of the family or as part of the family's heritage, it's all fine."

Right then, Jiang Chen looked at the female lead who had signed in. Ruan Xiwen, a character from "When the Wild Geese Return".

In the drama, she is Zhuang Hanyan's mother. Ruan Xiwen, born into a noble family in the capital, was in love with Yuwen Chang'an. However, due to the decline of her family, she was forced to marry Zhuang Shiyang. When Zhuang Hanyan was born, she was injured protecting her daughter and had both her legs broken, separating her from her daughter forever. For many years, with Yuwen Chang'an's help, she secretly plotted revenge against Zhuang Shiyang. Just as her plan was about to succeed, it was thwarted by Zhuang Hanyan's unexpected actions. Ultimately, she reconciled with her daughter, and on the night of her wedding to Yuwen Chang'an, she was poisoned and killed by Zhuang Shiyang.

"Ruan Xiwen is truly a tragic figure."

In the drama, Ruan Xiwen was originally a talented woman envied by everyone in the capital, from a prominent family, and exceptionally gifted. In her youth, Ruan Xiwen was a renowned noblewoman in the capital. At that time, she lived a carefree life in luxury, surrounded by influential people. Ruan Xiwen's father had two apprentices: Yuwen Chang'an and her husband, Zhuang Shiyang. Ruan Xiwen and Yuwen Chang'an were in love and engaged.

Unexpectedly, before marrying Yuwen Chang'an, Yuwen Chang'an was sent to another place, and the Ruan family was raided and their property confiscated. Ruan Xiwen had no choice but to hastily marry Zhuang Shiyang. Although Zhuang Shiyang was not her love, Ruan Xiwen wanted to live a good life with him. She was very happy after having a child, but before her child was even born, he was stigmatized as a barefoot ghost.

After giving birth to her daughter, she became disabled in both legs, and her daughter was falsely accused of being a "jinx." This experience of falling from grace made her a "madwoman" whom everyone in the wealthy family avoided.

To protect her daughter Zhuang Hanyan, Ruan Xiwen chose an extreme path: she publicly beat and scolded her daughter, and even kicked her out of the house. She had long realized that her daughter was seen as a thorn in the side by the family, and only by making her daughter hate her and stay away from the family could she save her life.

From this moment on, Ruan Xiwen's life was completely turned upside down. Her legs were crippled, and she locked herself in her mansion, devoting herself to only one thing: revenge. Ruan Xiwen had long since realized that the Ruan family's downfall was orchestrated by Zhuang Shiyang.

"Ruan Xiwen in the drama is a mastermind behind the scenes. Whether she beats and scolds her daughter on purpose or not, she has been teaching her daughter how to see through the conspiracy. Her self-immolation at the end was not a madness, but a way to pave the way for her daughter with her life."

"Ruan Xiwen and her daughter Zhuang Hanyan are like two people in a mirror. Ruan Xiwen uses madness to break free of her shackles, while Zhuang Hanyan uses wisdom to defeat her enemies."

"Even without Zhuang Shiyang, she would still be that famous noblewoman in the capital, still living a life of elegance and luxury, with a loving partner and children around her."

"Zhuang Hanyan is only sixteen years old now."

"This Ruan Xiwen is only in her thirties."

Jiang Chen approached Ruan Xiwen and looked her over.

Seeing Ruan Xiwen reminded Jiang Chen of Xu Wen from the First World.

Compared to Xu Wen from the First World, Ruan Xiwen looked at least a hundred times more disheveled.

"Who are you?" Ruan Xiwen straightened her back and looked directly at Jiang Chen.

"My name is Jiang Chen."

Jiang Chen chuckled and said, "I'm here to take you away."

"Leave? Were you sent by Zhuang Shiyang?" Ruan Xiwen asked.

"Zhuang Shiyang, does he even deserve it?" Jiang Chen sneered disdainfully, "I can take you away from the Zhuang family and heal your leg. Are you willing?"

Ruan Xiwen remained silent.

"I'm not here to ask you anything. I'm here to inform you." Jiang Chen waved his hand, and Ruan Xiwen fainted.

"so troublesome."

Jiang Chen stepped forward to examine the wound and said, "Fortunately, it can be cured."

At that moment, Jiang Chen led Ruan Xiwen away from the courtyard.

Along the way, the maids fainted before they could react.

However, Jiang Chen did not leave the manor immediately.

In Jiang Chen's view, now that he had arrived at the Zhuang residence and met Ruan Xiwen, he should naturally also meet Zhuang Yushan.

The Zhuang mansion was very large, but Jiang Chen only needed to scan it with his mental energy to understand its layout.

Soon, Jiang Chen met Zhuang Yushan.

Compared to Zhuang Hanyan, Zhuang Yushan seems more like the legitimate daughter of the Zhuang family.

“Zhuang Yushan…”

The system notification sounded when Jiang Chen saw Zhuang Yushan.

"Sign in."

Jiang Chen silently recited in his heart.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in and received ten million-year-old Tian Shan Snow Lotuses.]

[Congratulations, host! You have checked in with 1,780 female protagonists consecutively. Rewards include 10 attribute points, a 100-cubic-meter expansion of your space ring, a low-to-medium grade spirit field modification blueprint, and ten low-grade spirit cannons.]

"Ten million-year-old Tian Shan snow lotuses?"

This is the second time I've checked in.

Jiang Chen had some idea of ​​how precious the ten-thousand-year-old Tianshan snow lotus was.

The snow lotus from the Tianshan Mountains that is millions of years old is even more abundant.

Even in the Southern Continent of the Fourth World, obtaining a ginseng that is a million years old is not an easy task.

This is a really good thing, a rare and precious treasure.

"Starting with Ma Yunrou, then Liu Ying, Jian Mingshu, Shen Yangyang, Li Fengxia, Shen Shaoguang, A Yuan, Zhuang Hanyan, Ruan Xiwen, and now Zhuang Yushan, we've signed on to ten more leading ladies without even realizing it."

"10 attribute points, and the space ring's space has been expanded by 100 cubic meters. These are the basic special rewards."

"A low-to-mid-grade spirit field transformation plan?"

According to the system introduction, this low-grade to mid-grade spirit field transformation map is used to transform existing land into mid-grade spirit fields.

A low-grade spirit field transformation blueprint can transform ten acres of low-grade spirit fields. A low-grade medium-grade spirit field transformation blueprint can transform ten acres of medium-grade spirit fields.

"The low-grade mid-grade spirit field transformation map is an upgraded version of the low-grade low-grade spirit field transformation map."

"Ten low-level spirit cannons?"

"I've checked in for the eighteenth time."

"According to the system description, this low-level spirit cannon is similar to the M777 cannon, with a large barrel length to caliber ratio and a smaller propellant charge, making it suitable for low-angle firing."

"The difference is that the low-level spirit cannon is engraved with runes and array patterns. The super cannon of the First World has a range of 1000 kilometers, while the low-level spirit cannon has a range of 2000 kilometers."

"Unlike cannons, spirit cannons use low-grade spirit stones (only low-grade spirit stones are used). A single shot from a low-grade spirit cannon costs one thousand low-grade spirit stones, and its power is equivalent to a full-force attack from a Martial Emperor."

"The cooldown time for each firing of a low-level spirit cannon is five minutes."

"As long as there are enough low-grade spirit stones, a low-level spirit cannon can fire one hundred times in a row. After firing one hundred times in a row, the low-level spirit cannon will need to undergo a three-day cooling-off period."

“Each low-level spirit cannon requires five Grandmaster martial artists to operate.”

"However, the sign-in reward is pretty good."

"It's a pity that too many low-grade spirit stones were used."

At that moment, Jiang Chen looked at the female lead who had signed in.

Zhuang Yushan is a character in the novel "When the Geese Return".

In the drama, she is Zhou Ruyin's daughter, the second young lady of the Zhuang family. Although Zhuang Yushan was born to a concubine, she was pampered from a young age, developing a willful and arrogant personality. After Zhuang Hanyan returned home, she was filled with hostility towards Zhuang Hanyan out of jealousy and often made things difficult for her. From a young age, she was instilled with the idea that patriarchal authority was paramount. To alleviate her father's predicament, she married Prince Qi and suffered greatly in Prince Qi's mansion. After experiencing a series of events, she finally saw through her father Zhuang Shiyang's cold-hearted and hypocritical true nature, and thus assisted Zhuang Hanyan in fighting against Zhuang Shiyang.

"Zhuang Yushan in 'When the Geese Return'?"

"Is Zhuang Yushan one year older than Zhuang Hanyan now? Or two years older?"

In the drama, Zhuang Yushan, as the daughter of Zhou Yiniang, a concubine in the Zhuang family, was destined for tragedy from birth. Although born out of wedlock, she enjoyed the de facto treatment of a legitimate daughter from a young age because her mother, Zhou Ruyin, won the power struggle within the family. She grew up in a distorted environment—her father, Zhuang Shiyang, was a "top-tier scumbag father" who sold his daughter for personal gain and was prone to shirking responsibility; her mother, Zhou Ruyin, constantly instilled in her the ideas of "competing for favor and power" and "her father is her only support."

Growing up in such an environment, Zhuang Yushan had never witnessed the true wickedness of human nature, nor had she experienced the harsh realities of society. Her "evil" was more like a manifestation of survival instinct than something inherent in her nature.

However, the flamboyant and willful young lady suffered greatly in her marriage. Upon learning of the arranged marriage, she burned her most cherished saddle and promised her father that she would no longer be willful. She only hoped to stay at home for a few more years and not marry into the Noble Family. But in the end, she did not succeed. Zhuang Yushan married with reluctance to leave her maternal family and lingering affection for Fu Yunxi.

On their wedding night, her husband revealed his true colors, beating and kicking her. On the day of her return visit to her parents' home, Zhuang Yushan was alone, with no sign of the heir. When she saw her father, she cried and begged for help, only to be told, "Be patient."

Zhuang Yushan had endured all the mistreatment she hadn't received at her parents' home in less than a month after marrying into her husband's family, leaving her covered in bruises. Zhuang Shiyang was fully aware of this, but pretended to know nothing. Aunt Zhou had knelt on the ground begging him to take her daughter back, but he said that exchanging a child for the family's interests was her blessing.

At this moment, Aunt Zhou felt an unprecedented despair and confusion, not knowing what to do. It was also at this moment that Aunt Zhou realized how ruthless the man she had served for twenty years could be. She tore off her gentle and considerate facade and turned against Zhuang Shiyang, only to be disfigured and taken away from the mansion. Fortunately, she was rescued in time by Zhuang Hanyan. The mother and daughter, who were once mortal enemies, now formed a cooperative alliance.

Growing up in such an environment, Zhuang Yushan never witnessed the true wickedness of human nature, nor experienced the harsh realities of society. Her "evil" is more like a manifestation of survival instinct than something inherent in her nature.

"Zhuang Yushan is nothing more than a woman who has been taught..."

"She is similar to Sheng Molan; she did not receive the education of a legitimate daughter, but she is not presentable."

"Compared to Sheng Molan, she is truly miserable."

"It's just that Zhuang Yushan's ending was much better than Sheng Molan's."

"Many of the bad things Zhuang Yushan does in the drama have a childlike clumsiness. She is somewhat clever but not very clever, and she is wicked but not completely wicked. However, she genuinely cares for her younger brother Zhuang Yuchi, teaches the female lead a lesson for him, and helps him with his quizzes. When Zhuang Yuchi dies because of his recklessness, she is in great pain."

Jiang Chen sized up Zhuang Yushan.

The actress who played Aunt Zhou in Zhuang Yushan's novel "The Best Son-in-Law" was the same one in a previous life.

The difference is that Zhuang Yushan is a beautiful young girl, while Aunt Zhou exudes an aura that attracts Cao Cao.

"However, the story hasn't even started yet, and it will be a long time before Zhuang Yushan gets married."

"In the drama, Zhuang Yushan is in love with Fu Yunxi. However, when Fu Yunxi is to get married, Zhuang Yushan is not yet of marriageable age. Zhuang Shiyang then has his eldest daughter, Zhuang Yuqin, marry in place of Zhuang Hanyan. When Zhuang Yushan finds out, she makes a big scene. After her eldest sister passes away, she is determined to marry into the Fu family as a second wife. Whenever she sees her brother-in-law, she calls him 'brother' this and 'brother' that."

In the end, Zhuang Hanyan also ended up with Fu Yunxi.

"This Fu Yunxi is really something else..."

Jiang Chen glanced at Zhuang Yushan, then turned and left.
