Grandma Han and Han Datou live here. It's not very close to the village, and no one goes back home for lunch.
They also built a place for them to stay, so they could stay overnight when the weather was bad.
"No need, let me take a look first, then I'll have lunch with you all."
Han Luoxue smiled. She had finally come back, so naturally she wanted to improve everyone's lives.
"Make more meat and vegetables for lunch, let's slaughter a pig."
The men's eyes lit up. Although they worked at the farm, they rarely had meat to eat. This was a much happier life than before; at least they could eat their fill whenever they wanted.
The aunties rubbed their hands together excitedly. Old Mrs. Han led them to cook, while Han Datou led Han Luoxue around to look around.
The pig is growing very well, and two black dogs are wagging their tails and following behind.
"The pigs are all growing very well, Xueya. The piglets you found are really good. They grow much faster than the ones we raised ourselves before."
In the past, when we raised pigs at home, they wouldn't grow very big even after a year. They only ate grass and hardly any grain, so naturally they grew slowly.
The news about the pig farm somehow got out, and Han Mingyuan also came over at lunchtime.
"Xue'er, are you tired? Is the child still behaving well?"
Han Mingyuan felt sorry for his daughter; she was already so pregnant, yet she still had to go out and run around.
"You won't go out this time, right? Xue'er, your health is the most important thing."
Looking at her father's worried eyes, Han Luoxue felt a sweet warmth in her heart.
"uncertain."
"You brat, you're still going out?"
Han Mingyuan pretended to be angry, and Old Lady Han hurriedly advised, "Xue'er went out to attend to important matters."
"snort."
Han Mingyuan was tired after running around all morning. Seeing that Han Luoxue was in such a hurry to come back, it must be because of that matter, right?
There are just too many people here. He'll talk to Han Luoxue alone after we finish eating.
...
"Xue'er, you know your father's abilities. Don't you know my own level? I can't do that."
If you ask him to grow crops or go hunting, he'll definitely have no problem.
He could become an official...
Han Mingyuan was unsure whether he would remain a county magistrate.
"Xue'er, Yu Chen must have put in a lot of effort for this, right? Father really can't do it."
Han Mingyuan looked embarrassed. He knew his daughter and son-in-law meant well, but he really couldn't do it.
"Father, it's okay if you don't want to do it."
Han Luoxue sighed: "Le'an Town was bestowed upon me by the Emperor. I was thinking that if I were to use someone else, I would have to be careful. Why don't you take over?"
"You...you sealed it?" Han Mingyuan was stunned.
Was it sealed off? Is that what he meant?
Even someone as clueless as him would know that those with official seals are no ordinary people.
"Yes, the Emperor bestowed upon me the title of County Princess, and that title was for Le'an Town."
"This..." Han Mingyuan hesitated again. This was his daughter's place, and it was normal for him, as her father, to go and help her guard it.
It's just me...
"Father, are you aware that the Crown Prince of the capital has disappeared, and Prince Zhen has returned and is quite favored?"
Han Luoxue felt that this matter had probably already spread.
"I know, the Crown Prince deserved it."
Han Mingyuan said bitterly, if it weren't for this person, his daughter wouldn't have had to hide.
"King Zhen is very likely to be the next emperor."
“Daughter, it’s okay for you to say this to me, but you can’t say it out loud.”
Han Mingyuan glanced around fearfully. His daughter was too bold. Was this a topic that could be discussed? If someone with ulterior motives overheard, their entire family could be executed.
The crown prince is only missing, not dead. Even if he were truly dead, who would become the next emperor depends on the emperor's will, and it's not something these insignificant people can discuss.
“Father, you know Prince Zhen and the Emperor.”
Han Luoxue knew that some things couldn't be kept secret. Her father probably already knew about them before, but he just hadn't brought it up.
"At the latest, Brother Chen will announce my identity after the baby is born. Father, don't worry, Brother Chen will not let me down."
Han Mingyuan remained silent. Sure enough, it was true.
His daughter is going to be a princess?
What kind of taste does he have? He randomly picked a young man to be his son-in-law, and he turned out to be the current prince.
As for the Emperor, Han Mingyuan thought it over carefully. He didn't think he had offended him when the Emperor came to his house.
Oh dear, my daughter is so lucky, what should I do?
Han Yuchen will not let his daughter down, but...
Considering the man's status, the woman beside him must also be the daughter of a high-ranking official, while his own daughter...
Even though she is really good-looking, she is still a country girl at heart.
Han Yuchen used to have bad legs and a disfigured face, so naturally few women would be interested in him. But now he's fully recovered, handsome, and from an excellent family. With a face like this, wouldn't all the women in the capital be scrambling to get into the Prince Zhen's mansion?
My own daughter is pretty, but...
Han Mingyuan spent the entire afternoon in a state of turmoil. He should give it a try; his daughter had no support, so he would! Who said he was only good at farming? He was smart enough, wasn't he?
"Mingyuan, is something on your mind?"
Han Qiang noticed that Han Mingyuan had been listless all afternoon and asked him with concern.
"Oh, it's nothing."
"Isn't Xueya back? Are you thinking about Yuchen?"
The daughter didn't come back with her son-in-law, and those families will probably start making snide remarks again.
He had told them to leave several times, but there were too many of them, including many elderly people and children, so he couldn't go too far.
"Oh, it was Xue'er who asked me to go to the capital with her to be a county magistrate."
