Yuan Bohua's health had been poor over the years, and he hadn't done such strenuous exercise for a long time. Yuan Chaochang was in his prime, so if Yuan Bohua really wanted to catch up with Yuan Chaochang on his own, it would be impossible.
In the end, Yuan Chaokang saw that his father was gasping for breath and was afraid that something might happen to him, so he personally brought the man to his father and let his father teach him a lesson.
Yuan Bohua not only beat Yuan Chaochang with the back of his sword, but also scolded Yuan Chaochang for half an hour.
Yuan Chaochang acted naughty for a bit and was beaten up by Yuan Bohua and his brother. Lying on the ground exhausted, he actually felt relaxed all over.
If Yuan Bohua and Yuan Chaokang knew that their eldest son/brother thought this way, they would definitely beat this guy up.
Yuan Bohua pointed at his eldest son lying on the ground and said speechlessly, "If you like daughters, wait until the mourning period is over and let your wife or concubine have the child. Why are you trying to snatch your brother's daughter?"
Yuan Chaochang reached out and wiped the saliva his father had sprayed on his face in excitement, and muttered, "It's mainly because Xiaoxuan'er is so cute, and secondly, it's because you and mother don't want to return to the palace.
Xiaoxuan'er is in the palace now, will you and your mother come back?"
In response, Yuan Chaochang was hit by the back of a knife swung by Yuan Bohua, and Yuan Chaochang howled a few more times.
Yuan Chaochang was lying on the ground, but he didn't forget to struggle, "Second brother, I really like Xiaoxuan'er, how about I give Yu'er to you in exchange?"
Yuan Chaokang took a deep breath and resisted the urge to beat up his elder brother. "No! If you want a daughter, go find your eldest sister-in-law yourself."
Yuan Chaokang picked up his eldest brother from the ground and said, "Let's go! Let's go to your private store first. Let me pick out some good things. I'll just treat my daughter Xuan'er to some peace of mind."
Yuan Chaochang was not reluctant to give it up, but he was naughty and quickly called Yuan Bohua, "Father, look at my second brother."
Yuan Bohua pulled his eldest son from his youngest son and pushed him towards Yuan Chaochang's private storehouse. "I'll go pick some things too. After all, your mother and I were frightened today. We should pick out some good things to calm our nerves."
Yuan Chaochang walked in front with his head down, his baby!
Yuan Bohua couldn't help but scold this unreliable son again, and patted his eldest son who looked depressed, "You should be laughing now that I didn't beat you to death.
You're so old, and you still dare to stir up such a big mess? If something goes wrong, will you still get along with your second brother?"
Yuan Chaochang now realized that he had done something wrong. He had just taken Xiao Xuaner away on a whim and had indeed not thought enough about it.
He turned around and stood up straight, then bowed seriously to his younger brother Yuan Chaokang, "I'm sorry for you and your sister-in-law this time, I'll pick out more things for you and your sister-in-law later.
When the time comes, I'll have to trouble you to put in a good word for me when you get to your second brother's wife."
Yuan Chaokang said solemnly with a serious face, "This won't happen again."
When Yuan Chaochang heard that his brother had forgiven him, he was immediately happy and didn't care whether Yuan Chaokang's tone was good or not. As long as he forgave him, it was fine.
Yuan Chaochang quickly assured with a smile, "There will definitely not be a next time."
Yuan Chaokang believed his eldest brother's lies at this time. He never imagined that a few years later, his eldest sister-in-law gave birth to three more sons. In total, his eldest sister-in-law gave birth to six sons and not a single daughter.
The eldest brother and his wife finally gave up the idea of having a daughter. After they gave up having a child themselves, they became more interested in kidnapping his good daughter.
Every time Yuan Yixuan got into trouble and Ren Xiyu wanted to deal with her, she would run to her uncle and aunt's house.
With the elder brother and his wife as a foil, he and Ren Xiyu are like stepfather and stepmother. If it weren't for the mother's control over this girl, who knows what kind of lawless character she would have become!
That’s right, the bad guy in front of Yuan Yixuan in the end was Zhou Qiongyue.
That was all a story for later. At this moment, Yuan Chaochang was watching his father and second brother taking gifts and Yuan Yixuan back. Yuan Chaochang even limped a few steps to see them off. He was so reluctant to let them go!
Gong Lianyu has held Yuan Yixuan alone for so long, and she likes this little girl so much that she is willing to exchange her third son Yuan Hanyu for her.
When Yuan Chaochang saw that his father and brother's carriages had gone away, he turned around and saw his wife looking at them with the same eager eyes as he did.
Yuan Chaochang was full of confidence at this time, ready to fight with his wife again after the mourning period was over, "We will have a daughter."
Seeing her husband so confident, Gong Lianyu also felt confident. "Well, I'll go hug Xiaoxuan'er more often in the next two years to share in her happiness."
When Yuan Bohua and Yuan Chaokang brought Yuan Yixuan to the house, Zhou Qiongyue and Ren Xiyu were already waiting in the front yard.
Zhou Qiongyue had walked around the tea table many times. Generally speaking, every time she walked around, she would curse Yuan Chaochang a few words.
As a result, Ren Xiyu started to speak well of her elder brother and sister-in-law.
Yuan Yixuan was held by Yuan Bohua all the way. The little girl didn't cry. She opened her big eyes and looked around in the carriage.
Occasionally he would let out an "ah, ah" sound, and Yuan Bohua loved it very much.
As soon as they entered the Prince's Mansion, Yuan Bohua took the initiative to put the child in Yuan Chaokang's arms.
The child being taken away is definitely the mother's biggest worry. Yuan Chaokang is holding the child, and it is appropriate to put him directly in the arms of his daughter-in-law later.
Yuan Chaokang came in carrying the child. Zhou Qiongyue just ran to Yuan Bohua in surprise to ask about the situation. She did not reach out to hug the child immediately. She gave this opportunity to her daughter-in-law.
Only after Ren Xiyu was in her arms did Zhou Qiongyue go forward and tease her.
Then Yuan Chaokang ordered his men to bring all the things up and said to Ren Xiyu, "Please keep these for Xuan'er. They are all gifts from Big Brother and Sister-in-law to Xuan'er."
Ren Xiyu looked at the goodies the servants had brought in, and the slight dissatisfaction in her heart turned directly into surprise. "This is too much. Big Brother doesn't just take away without saying hello."
"It's okay. This is given to Xuan'er by her uncle. You can just keep it for Xuan'er." After Zhou Qiongyue said this, she asked someone to pick out a few good items from her private library and put them for Ren Xiyu.
Afterwards, Zhou Qiongyue held her granddaughter for a while before returning to the yard with Yuan Bohua, leaving the space for Yuan Chaochang and the others.
Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua stayed in the Prince's Mansion until the New Year before returning to the mansion.
For the past six months, Yuan Chaochang and his wife had been to the Prince's Mansion quite often. However, every time Yuan Chaochang came to see his niece, Zhou Qiongyue would send Gulan to watch over her, fearing that Yuan Chaochang would do something stupid again if they weren't careful.
The depressed Yuan Chaochang secretly swore in his heart that he and his wife must give birth to a daughter, and then he would not give the daughter to his mother and father to hold.
Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua returned to the palace, and the one who was most reluctant to leave was Ren Xiyu. When her mother and father lived in the palace, not only did she not interfere in the affairs of the palace, but she also took Yuan Yixuan with her in her free time, allowing Ren Xiyu to go out and manage things without worry.
They can also suppress the evil spirits in the house. Who wouldn't want such a good father-in-law and mother-in-law!
