The Strongest Mad Son-in-law

A woman with heavy makeup.

Xu Hao frowned slightly. The worldly aura of the woman was so intense, it made him a bit uncomfortable.

Seeing this woman, You Yaozong's face darkened instantly as he said coldly, "Why are you here? Didn't you leave?!"

The woman caught sight of You Yaozong and, as if she had seen an old lover she hadn't seen in years, threw herself into his arms and pleaded softly, "Husband, I was deluded back then, but I've come to my senses now, so I hurried back to you."

She touched You Yaozong's haggard face with concern and said, "Husband, look at you, how thin you've gotten, haven't you been eating well recently? I'll go make something delicious for you, cook your favorite dishes."

"No need," You Yaozong said, his heart stirred, but his expression did not soften.

Xu Hao immediately realized that this woman must be You Yaozong's former wife.

The woman clung to You Yaozong and cooed, "Husband, I know I was wrong. Can you forgive me this once, please? I was young and foolish. Have you forgotten the promise you made to me? You said you would protect me for life."

You Yaozong's expression softened somewhat. He had indeed said such things, but then he added, "But that was on the condition that you would never leave me!"

The woman replied softly, "Husband, do you know? Although I left these past days, I didn't rest. I've been running around for your sake. When I said I wanted a divorce, that was just said in anger. I've said it so many times before, haven't I, and we never divorced. Besides, we didn't even go through the divorce formalities!"

Xu Hao was somewhat speechless. This woman could be so shameless. It was she who dumped him, and now she was eagerly coming back asking to reconcile.

But this was, after all, the private affair of a couple, and he felt it wasn't his place to interfere.

As if to change the subject, the woman asked, "Husband, who are these two? Introduce me to them!"

When she brought up Xu Hao and the others, You Yaozong's face finally brightened considerably. He began by saying, "This is my former wife, Wang Xiangjiao."

Then, pointing to Lei Qianjue, You Yaozong said, "This is Master Lei, Lei Qianjue the Southwest Medicine King."

"Ah?! The Southwest Medicine King!" Wang Xiangjiao was taken aback. Many people in Tiannan Province knew the title of the Southwest Medicine King.

But she had not imagined that such a prominent figure would be in You Yaozong's house.

Lei Qianjue nodded slightly, but his expression was tinged with disdain. Such an indecisive woman was not worth considering.

You Yaozong, pointing to Xu Hao, said, "This person is the great benefactor who helped me through tough times, Doctor Xu, Xu Hao, and also the master of Master Lei."

"Ah?! He... He's Master Lei's master?"

Wang Xiangjiao was even more amazed. Today, she had not only met Lei Qianjue but had also seen his master. But wasn't his master too young?

Could this be the legendary Art of Rejuvenation?

Seeing the shock in Wang Xiangjiao's eyes, You Yaozong also felt quite proud. The old him would never have imagined that he would come into contact with such important figures, but now it had truly happened, and they had even helped him.

As he pondered, You Yaozong suddenly found that his anger towards Wang Xiangjiao had dissipated quite a bit.

If Wang Xiangjiao hadn't left him, he wouldn't have been so anxious and gaunt, nor would he have met Xu Hao and the others.

Lei Qianjue, noticing the way You Yaozong looked, instantly understood that he was prepared to forgive Wang Xiangjiao.

He said with a smile, "You two take your time to talk; we'll be leaving first."

Xu Hao nodded slightly and walked out with him. Regarding You Yaozong's intention to forgive Wang Xiangjiao, he didn't say much. After all, this was someone else's private matter. How could outsiders understand all the intricacies?

All Xu Hao knew was that when Wang Xiangjiao first arrived, he had felt nauseated by the multitude of scents on her, finding her to be the kind of woman who would sooner or later bring more trouble to You Yaozong. But saying anything would likely be counterproductive, so he thought it was best to let You Yaozong come to his own realization about what kind of person she really was.

After bidding farewell to Lei Qianjue, Xu Hao went alone to check on the construction of the plot of land he had purchased.

Once Xu Hao and the others had left, Wang Xiangjiao said, "Husband, you rest. I'm going to wash you up and then cook you a meal."

Warmth flooded You Yaozong's heart; he felt his wife truly cared for him.

Rejuvenated by Wang Xiangjiao's attentive care, You Yaozong looked much better and full of spirit.

In the afternoon, after a nap, Wang Xiangjiao suddenly said, "Husband, I've been running around doing favors for you and haven't gone shopping in a long time. Would you accompany me?"

Just having enjoyed a blissful moment with Wang Xiangjiao, You Yaozong was in a good mood. Seeing her gaze at him with tenderness, he readily said, "Of course I can! Whatever you say, I'll listen to you, my wife."
