"The court officials have all given His Majesty their opinions on how to properly arrange for the Protectorate Princess. The Emperor has not yet made a decision, but rest assured, the Emperor will make proper arrangements for the Protectorate Princess and give you an explanation."
This was all Yang Shenglin could say. No matter how properly the Protector of the Nation made arrangements, the eldest prince was the most innocent person and suffered the most damage in the case of being framed for treason.
He felt sorry for Princess Huguo because she couldn't even be the eldest prince's consort, let alone the future queen.
Xiao Su suppressed his anger and asked, "Commander Yang, may I ask where the Emperor has sent the Second Prince Feng Jinxiu?"
"Yes, Commander Yang, could you please tell me?" Xiao Jing didn't want to let Feng Jinxiu go, otherwise his eldest niece wouldn't have been married off and lived a hard life.
"Two generals..."
Yang Shenglin knew very well that the two generals would not let the second prince go, so he felt it necessary to give them a friendly reminder.
"The Second Prince has now been demoted to a commoner and cannot return to the capital without being summoned. As for where the Second Prince has been assigned by the Emperor, I have no idea. Generals, I know what you are thinking. Although the Second Prince has been demoted to a commoner, he is still of royal blood and cannot be trampled upon or humiliated by others!"
"Commander Yang, you misunderstood." Xiao Su realized something. "We two brothers just want to know what happened to the Second Prince."
It was said that the eldest prince was beaten half to death in the dungeon, and was given the title of prince in name only.
The second prince was not severely beaten, but was directly demoted to a commoner and thrown out of the capital. No matter how you look at it, it seems that the emperor cares more about the second prince?
"Commander Yang," Xiao Tianci quickly changed the subject. "You've been traveling for such a long time, you must be hungry. The kitchen still has hot meals. Please move to the living room for your meal. Afterwards, rest early. You've been exhausted all day."
Commander Yang bowed and said, "Thank you, Lord Protector of the Country."
After Commander Yang and the Xiao family's housekeeper left, Xiao Tianci called the two brothers to his room.
"Now that we've been vindicated, the officials outside won't stop us. Boss, you should go to Huayang County tomorrow and go directly to the county government office to inquire with Qi Lianli about Yu'er's whereabouts. I hope to bring Yu'er back to the capital in three days. Talk to that family and tell them that as long as her husband's family agrees to a divorce, Yu'er won't be considered disobeying the emperor's order. Promise them money and find them a stable source of livelihood, and they'll let Yu'er go."
"What if they don't agree?"
Xiao Tianci lowered his eyes and said after a while: "Our Xiao family never uses power to oppress others. If they persist in their mistakes, it is not our fault."
"Dad, I understand. First courtesy, then force."
Xiao Jing suddenly thought of something, "Dad, brother, what if Yu'er is..." pregnant?
Xiao Jing didn't dare to say what came next!
Xiao Tianci and Xiao Su saw that Xiao Jing was hesitant to speak, and they immediately understood.
Xiao Tianci was most worried about this matter. His pampered granddaughter actually...
Damn it!
It’s all Feng Jinxiu’s fault. It’s better not to let him find him!
Xiao Su said: "I will ask Yu'er for her opinion. If she wants to keep the child, then our family will take good care of the child in the future. If she doesn't want to keep the child, then don't keep it."
Xiao Tianci nodded, "Then let the father go and keep the son."
"Dad, big brother, if..."
"Hurry up and tell me!" Xiao Tianci said angrily, "Just say what you want to say. Don't force me to hit you."
"I'll tell you!" Xiao Jing said hurriedly, "What if Yu'er wants to bring the child's father along?"
Xiao Tianci was stunned for a moment, then said, "That's impossible! Do you think Yu'er would fall for her disabled husband? Can he compare to the eldest prince?"
Xiao Jing shook his head, "Of course I can't compare. No one in the world is better-born than the eldest prince."
"That's right."
Xiao Su was silent for a moment. "Yu'er is marrying down now, and it's impossible for her to marry the eldest prince. It's hard to find a man who matches Yu'er among the sons of the noble families in the capital, and there's no guarantee that a son of a noble family will come to ask for her hand in marriage."
"Who said that?! There are many families who want to marry into our Xiao family. There will always be someone who can catch Yu'er's eye! At worst, our Xiao family will always support them."
Xiao Tianci is full of confidence in his granddaughter. Since his granddaughter is so outstanding, naturally many people will come to propose marriage to her.
It’s a pity that she can’t become the eldest prince’s consort.
Xiao Su said, "You're right. I'm just worried that Yu'er has fallen for her current husband."
"Impossible!" Xiao Tianci and Xiao Jing denied Xiao Su in unison.
With Feng Jinyu as a precious gem in front of him, as long as Yu'er is not blind, how could he regard tiles and stones as treasures?
What's more, there is a huge gap between the two people's knowledge and experience. If it weren't for the imperial edict to force them to be together, that family would never be able to get the noble lady in the capital.
"Dad, second brother, you are right. I will go back and pack up. I will rush to Huayang County at dawn tomorrow."
The next day, the morning light was dim.
Xiao Su rode Yang Shenglin's BMW and galloped towards Huayang County.
After the Xiao family had breakfast, since the officials were no longer watching them, Xiao Jing and Liang took the private money they had hidden from the Duke's Mansion, and took the housekeeper and a group of servants to Anyang County to buy items and a carriage for their return to Beijing.
"I'm finally free, even the air is sweet." Liang couldn't help but sigh as she breathed in the air of freedom.
Xiao Jing said calmly: "Yes, we are free, only Sister Yu..."
Liang understood the helplessness in his words and said comfortingly, "Think positively. We were supposed to be exiled, but we're detained in Anyang County. Perhaps Yu Jie'er's husband's family is different from what the imperial edict says."
Xiao Jing: "Thank you, Madam, for your good wishes. I hope Sister Yu'er's situation will be better."
The protagonist Xiao Lingyu mentioned by the two people was sitting on the swing chair outside the Lu Mansion pony farm with Lu Yuan.
While leisurely eating dessert, I watched the children playing on the ponies in the stables.
"Xiao Yu, my belly has grown a lot. Can you use your unique skills to see if it's a boy or a girl?"
Xiao Lingyu asked, "Do you want a boy or a girl?"
Lu Yuan stroked her belly and saw that Simeng had not come over yet. She whispered, "I like both boys and girls. It's fine for me to have two girls. My mother-in-law is eager to have a grandson, so I would like to have two sons."
Xiao Lingyu said, "It's also possible that they are twins, a boy and a girl."
Lu Yuan's beautiful eyes lit up, "It would be even better if they were twins, a boy and a girl. Then we would have both a boy and a girl in one pregnancy."
"Maybe you are really pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl." Xiao Lingyu said, touching her wrist.
"Really? You figured it out?"
"I'm not sure yet. I need to use my unique skills to check it carefully again, Mo Shu."
Mo Shu came forward and said, "Madam."
"Go back and prepare. I'll give Ayuan a good pat on the belly in half an incense stick."
"I understand!"
After Mo Shu responded, he quickly returned to Fanghua Garden.
Lu Yuan was extremely excited. In half an incense stick of time, she would know whether she was pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl.
Simeng came over with a plate of nuts. Seeing Lu Yuan's happy face, she also felt inexplicably happy.
"A Yuan, Madam Su, if you have anything happy, tell me quickly and make me happy too."
