Upon hearing this, Yuan Chaochang immediately kicked Gong Lianyu's foot to the side under the table. Gong Lianyu also wanted her father and mother to go back and live with her.
She also wanted to work harder. Since her father and mother lived in the mansion, she could occasionally look after Yu'er and Shu'er.
Although the child had servants and a wet nurse around him, it was still not reassuring to have someone close to him watching over him. Furthermore, with his father and mother in the palace, she and the Crown Prince felt like they were the backbone of the family.
"My husband and I left in a hurry and didn't have time to have breakfast. Thank you so much, father."
Yuan Bohua noticed the little actions of his son and daughter-in-law, and nodded with a smile, "Yu'er, tell Gu Le what you like to eat later, and the kitchen will prepare it for you."
Gong Lianyu was about to express her gratitude when Yuan Chaochang spoke again, "Not only can my son no longer rival my granddaughter's status, he can't even rival my wife's!"
"You guessed right, but unfortunately there is no reward." Yuan Bohua thought that if his daughter-in-law was not still here, Yuan Chaochang would have been thrown out by him long ago.
After Yuan Bohua finished arguing with his eldest son, he didn't want to talk anymore and sipped a cup of tea slowly.
Gong Lianyu had nothing to say to her father, so she could only sip the tea slowly.
Yuan Chaochang wanted to say something, but Yuan Bohua gave him a look that told him to shut up.
After Yuan Chaochang knew that his father was unkind, he was too lazy to put any more effort into him. He decided to wait until his mother came out.
Anyway, as long as his mother agreed to return to the palace, he didn't believe that his father wouldn't go back with him. Humph, not going back is just right.
After Zhou Qiongyue came out, she saw Yuan Chaokang and the other two sitting on their own, each with a cup of tea. If you didn't know them, you would think they were strangers!
Zhou Qiongyue smiled and told Gulan to prepare breakfast, then walked over and sat down next to Yuan Bohua.
Zhou Qiongyue was very curious about the atmosphere between the three of them. "What were you two talking about that made you two break down?"
When Gong Lianyu saw her mother-in-law coming, she visibly breathed a sigh of relief. Her father's aura was too strong and she was a little scared.
Yuan Bohua looked at Zhou Qiongyue tenderly and explained, "We didn't talk about anything. It's just that I'm tired of Chang'er being too nagging and don't want to talk."
Yuan Chaochang pointed at himself in disbelief, "He nags, he nags!"
Seeing her eldest son about to storm off again, Zhou Qiongyue quickly said, "Don't be angry. Your father and I still like the palace. We'll stay with your brother for a while and then go back."
Yuan Chaochang was not easy to fool, "When do you mean stay for a while?"
Zhou Qiongyue mentioned a time that made Yuan Chaochang go berserk. "Let's celebrate the New Year! We must celebrate the New Year in the palace."
Yuan Chaochang's voice was so loud that he almost split his legs. "New Year's?"
Zhou Qiongyue and Gong Lianyu were both startled by Yuan Chaochang. Yuan Bohua started to scold him:
"Keep your voice down! Have you learned all your manners?"
Yuan Chaochang first smiled at his father, then looked at his mother with resentment, "Mother, it's only May now, you said it's the New Year?"
Zhou Qiongyue tried to reason with her eldest son: "Xuan'er is still so young, and there are so many women in your second brother's backyard. What if your second brother's wife takes a nap and someone who is not afraid of death hurts little Xuan'er?
Your father and I are here to suppress them, so they dare not move."
Yuan Chaochang hesitated for a moment when he thought of his lovely niece, but then he suddenly had an idea and asked, "Mother, if my son also had a daughter, would you agree to come back?"
"Let's talk about it after you get pregnant. Now is the mourning period for your grandparents, you can't do anything rash." Zhou Qiongyue didn't want her son to give others such a big handle for such a small matter.
"No matter how much I care about you, don't worry. I won't do anything wrong." Yuan Chaochang thought about it and changed his depressed look. He was in a very good mood.
Zhou Qiongyue, Yuan Bohua and Gong Lianyu all looked at Yuan Chaochang several times in confusion, wondering what he was up to.
Yuan Bohua couldn't help but warn: "If you dare to do anything wrong, I will break your legs."
"Yes, son, I understand." Yuan Chaochang answered very perfunctorily. He didn't think that what he was about to do was wrong at all. Instead, he felt that his second brother and his wife should thank him.
Yuan Chaochang agreed, and Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua reluctantly believed him. Then they all started to have breakfast together in harmony.
As soon as breakfast was over, Yuan Chaochang took Gong Lianyu and said to Zhou Qiongyue, "Since mother and father don't want to return to the palace, I will come to see you in a few days.
My son and his wife went to see Xiaoxuaner and then returned."
Zhou Qiongyue was a little suspicious about her son leaving without any complaints. But her son didn't do anything, so she had no reason to doubt him.
"Xiao Xuan'er shouldn't be awake yet. You two can go check on her and then come back! Yu'er, Shu'er, and Yu'er are still waiting for you and your wife at the palace!"
Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua now go to see their granddaughter every day when she wakes up, so they are not planning to go with their son this time.
If Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua knew what stupid thing their son would do next, they would follow their son and his wife no matter what.
When Yuan Chaochang heard his mother say that his niece had not woken up yet, his eyes rolled around and he quickly took his wife and left.
When Yuan Chaochang and Gong Lianyu came out of Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua's courtyard, Yuan Chaochang couldn't wait to look at his wife and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to have a daughter?"
Gong Lianyu stared at Yuan Chaochang with eyes wide open, "You're not keeping a mistress outside without telling me, are you?"
When Gong Lianyu said this, her voice was a little loud. Yuan Chaochang quickly reached out to cover Gong Lianyu's mouth and explained in a low voice, "Who do you think I am? I don't have the time to keep a concubine."
After Yuan Chaochang finished explaining, he let go of Gong Lianyu only after seeing that she had calmed down.
"The prince means that I should give birth to the child, but it is still the mourning period! Don't do anything rash." Although Gong Lianyu wanted to have a daughter, she was not crazy. Having a child during the mourning period would displease her father and mother.
Yuan Chaochang looked around and saw that there was no one around. Then he went up to Gong Lianyu and said softly, "Don't be angry. That's not what I meant. I meant that we take Xiao Xuan'er back to the palace and raise her."
"Stealing Xiaoxuan'er?" Gong Lianyu was even more surprised than before. Fortunately, she covered her mouth with her hands, so the sound was not loud.
"What do you mean by stealing? I'm taking my niece to live in the palace for a few months." Yuan Chaochang felt more and more excited as he thought about the expressions of his father and second brother at that time.
"Forget it! If father and my second brother find out, I'm afraid the prince will be beaten." At this moment, Gong Lianyu really wanted to turn around and leave. She had seen unreliable people before, but she had never seen someone so unreliable.
