The Sick Chrysanthemum

Coming back during the New Year this time around, Ren Baqian and the empress thought that they could enjoy the atmosphere of the celebration and also relax for a couple of days.

However, the truth was that they had absolutely expected too much.

Everyone had only heard of the empress's name, but had never seen her over the last few years. Mama Ren had also boasted about her so much. The empress had finally shown herself and was no longer just a stunning photograph anymore.

Since the first day of the Lunar New Year, Ren Baqian's seventh paternal aunt, eighth maternal aunt, fifth paternal uncle, third maternal uncle, and second paternal uncle had all visited the Ren family's house. There were so many people walking in and out that it was as if it was Lan City's city gate.

Nominally, they were of course here to visit.

In reality, they actually came over to look at the empress.
