Extra Chapter - Spring in Full Bloom

The King of Qi was notorious for his womanizing ways, which drove Mrs. Xiao Qiao to despair and forced her to take a young Chu Jinnian back to Yangzhou.

Subsequently, the couple had an easy divorce which initiated a discussion about the custody of Chu Jinnian.

The King of Qi, fretting about his reputation, insisted on having Chu Jinnian brought to the capital. Mrs. Xiao Qiao vehemently disagreed.

Then came the news that Mrs. Ruo had given birth to Chu Jinzhuo in Yangzhou.

Chu Jinnian, being the legitimate eldest son, would potentially lose his claim to the throne if he did not return to the capital, especially given the unpredictable temperaments of the King of Qi and Mrs. Ruo.

Despite her hatred for the King of Qi and Mrs. Ruo, Mrs. Xiao Qiao refused to give up her son's rightful claim to the throne. Ultimately she agreed to let the King of Qi take Chu Jinnian to the capital.
