Chapter 440: Seeking Father-in-law



Although Yuan Bohua was somewhat suspicious of the Emperor, he acted as confident as ever in front of Zhou Qiongyue. "Don't worry, Yue'er, I'll send someone to investigate."

Zhou Qiongyue still believed in the prince's ability. Now that the prince agreed, she felt relieved.

Zhou Qiongyue returned to her daily routine of carrying her small bucket and sitting by the lake to fish and relax.

Yuan Bohua left the backyard and went straight to Cheng'en Marquis Mansion to find his father-in-law. When it came to searching for something, Yuan Bohua felt that he should still look for his omnipotent father-in-law.

When Yuan Bohua arrived at the Cheng'en Marquis's mansion, he directly asked his father-in-law where Cheng'en Marquis was. Then a servant led Yuan Bohua to a lake.

Then Yuan Bohua saw his father-in-law sitting alone by the lake fishing, and he sighed in his heart that they were indeed father and daughter, as they had exactly the same hobby.

Yuan Bohua quickly stepped forward and saluted, "Father!"

"Fu'an is here! Please sit with your father for a while." When Marquis Cheng'en saw that there was no daughter behind Yuan Bohua, he knew that Yuan Bohua wanted to see him alone for something.

Marquis Cheng'en did not ask what was going on right away. Instead, he exchanged greetings as usual and signaled the servants around him to leave.

Yuan Bohua responded with a smile and sat down casually next to his father-in-law, Marquis Cheng'en.

Yuan Bohua also took the extra fishing rod nearby and skillfully joined the fishing group.

Yuan Bohua is now very familiar with the fishing process, although he has not caught any big fish so far.

Yuan Bohua and Marquis Cheng'en now get along just like an ordinary father and son, and they speak very casually. "Father, at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, an assassin broke through the encirclement of the imperial guards and came directly for Yue'er."

The scene was very chaotic that day, and the location of the Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion was a bit far from the Prince's Mansion, so no one paid attention to this matter.

Marquis Cheng'en was inevitably anxious when he heard his son-in-law say this, but he remained calm. "Are you sure you're coming directly for Yue'er?"

Yuan Bohua did not express his own judgment, "Kang'er said yes."

"That's for sure, I understand." Cheng Enhou replied to Yuan Bohua while quickly putting away his club. His eyes were fierce as he looked into the lake.

Yuan Bohua saw a fish weighing more than one kilogram on his father-in-law's hook and said, "Father-in-law is amazing."

Marquis Cheng'en smiled and invited Yuan Bohua, "Fu'an, would you like to try the fish I caught myself at the Marquis' Mansion at noon?"

Yuan Bohua felt that his father-in-law must be busy and had no time to greet him, so he should go back and accompany the princess!

"I left in a hurry and didn't tell the princess that I wouldn't be back for dinner. I was afraid that the princess would wait for me, so I'll wait until the next opportunity."

Marquis Cheng'en did not try to keep him. He ordered his men to pack some fresh fruits and vegetables that were shipped from his own farm for Yuan Bohua, and then let him go.

After all, in Marquis Cheng'en's opinion, his daughter must have been frightened two days ago, so it would be better for his son-in-law to stay with his daughter.

Yuan Bohua came empty-handed, but when he left, he not only took away a full carriage of things, but also took away the biggest fish that Marquis Cheng'en had caught.

This was caught by my father-in-law, and he asked Gu Yu to make it in the evening. The princess must be very happy.

As soon as Yuan Bohua left, Marquis Cheng'en handed the fishing rod to the servant next to him, and then walked slowly with his hands behind his back to the study in the front yard.

Although Marquis Cheng'en wanted to get to the bottom of this as soon as possible so he could feel at ease, he couldn't act hastily. Who knew if there was anyone monitoring him in the mansion? This kind of thing definitely couldn't be discovered.

Yuan Bohua felt that he had completed the princess's instructions, and he felt much better when he returned. He trusted his father-in-law very much.

After the incident with the eldest princess Li Shihuan, the emperor finally decided to arrange the marriages of several adult princes.

The child is grown up, and he is not allowed to come into contact with the affairs of the previous dynasty. If these sons become as stupid as Li Shihuan in the future, it will be difficult for him to explain to his ancestors.

Although the emperor arranged marriages for all the adult princes, the people he arranged the marriages to were all from relatively simple and leisurely families.

The emperor did not think that it was time for the prince to accumulate power, as he was still young and strong.

When the Emperor's decree of marriage was issued, most of the nobles and ministers in Yuan'an were delighted. Although the prince's principal wife was not chosen, this also meant that the Emperor would allow the adult prince to participate in government affairs.

Those who want to take the lead in following the emperor can also observe in the court and place bets in private.

But the emperor's suspicion meant that the competition among the princes of this generation would be extremely fierce.

After two days of continuous busy work, Marquis Cheng'en finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the result. It was indeed not the emperor who did it.

Marquis Cheng'en has been very nervous these past two days. If it is discovered that it was the emperor who did it, he doesn't know if he can still be as loyal to the emperor as before.

Fortunately, the result did not put Marquis Cheng'en into that situation.

Marquis Cheng'en did not send anyone to the palace to deliver the letter, but only sent the output of Marquis Cheng'en's farm to the palace.

Yuan Bohua understood it after receiving it. When dealing with smart people, there is no need to explain in so much detail.

After Yuan Bohua received the results of his father-in-law's investigation, he passed them on to his two sons and the princess.

After this, the lives of the Yuan An people returned to peace. Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua's lives also returned to normal. The only difference was that Yuan Chaokang used to be so eager to stick to Zhou Qiongyue, so Zhou Qiongyue rarely saw him these days.

To be honest, Zhou Qiongyue was still not used to it, but she didn't say anything. She just adapted silently. After all, young people have their own things to do.

Yuan Bohua noticed the difference in Yue'er's condition, so he would privately bring only a few people with him and take Zhou Qiongyue to travel around Yuan'an City every day.

Once life became interesting, Zhou Qiongyue no longer thought about her son.

The situation suddenly reversed. In the morning, Yuan Chaochang and Yuan Chaokang came to pay their respects, but Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua had not yet gotten up.

During the day, Yuan Chaochang was on duty, while Yuan Chaokang was managing the business. When the two of them came to pay their respects in the evening, Yuan Bohua and Zhou Qiongyue were still outside enjoying the bustling nightlife of Yuan'an City.

Yuan Chaochang had only recently entered the officialdom and wanted to consult his father on many matters, but he was often unable to see his father. Yuan Chaochang could only make some decisions on his own and make frequent visits to his second brother's house.

Yuan Chaochang once again felt the inconvenience of the separation. If he wanted to find his second brother for something, it was no longer as convenient as before.

Even so, Yuan Chaokang felt that his door was about to be leveled by his elder brother. Yuan Chaokang felt that his father was unreliable, which made him feel like he was raising a son.

After Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua had been strolling around Yuan'an for a while, they joined the Cheng'en Marquis and his wife, making it four people strolling around together. Now Zhou Zhiyi and the others couldn't find their father if they had any problems.
