The Emperor did have something to ask Zhou Qiongyue, so he wanted to know his cousin's specific whereabouts, so he asked again:

"So, are your mother and father at the farm outside the city, or at the other courtyard?"

In front of the emperor, Yuan Chaochang pretended to sigh, and his whole body was filled with helplessness.

Yuan Chaochang took out the letter that Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua left for the two brothers from his sleeve and handed it to Eunuch Hou, asking him to present it to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, Uncle, will understand after reading this."

The emperor took the letter from Eunuch Hou and opened it directly.

After reading it, the emperor sighed and asked, "Do your mother and father trust you and your brother?"

Yuan Chaochang said something shocking, "Don't worry! Father has divided the family property between us. There's nothing to worry about."

The emperor was so surprised that he could hardly maintain the kind expression on his face. "Why is that?"

"Father and Mother wanted to travel. It was because my brother and I were young before, but now my brother and I are grown up!"

Although Yuan Chaochang didn't know what the emperor wanted to talk to his mother about, he knew it was usually not a good thing. He said this again. His mother didn't even care about her son, so she wouldn't want to care about anything else.

After hearing what Yuan Chaochang said, the emperor obviously thought of this. He could only reward Yuan Chaochang with a bunch of things and let him leave the palace.

The emperor was looking for his cousin because of the management problems of his private property. Over the years, his private property had shrunk by nearly half, and several people had changed in management, but there had been no improvement.

The emperor was unwilling to go back to a life of financial hardship after having lived a life of plenty. He still wanted his cousin to take over the management of his private property.
