Zhou Qiongyue brought her children to attend the celebration banquet prepared for Zhou Zhiquan by the Cheng'en Marquis Mansion. She was very happy throughout the whole process.
Yuan Chaochang and Yuan Chaokang were brought along by their father Zhou Wencan and their fifth brother Zhou Zhiquan.
Zhou Qiongyue was eating and drinking alone at the female table, chatting with her mother, second aunt and third aunt, and she felt extremely comfortable.
Especially after my father inherited the title, Third Aunt Sun no longer spoke in a sarcastic tone, and the meal was so harmonious and warm.
It's just like the whole family eating, drinking and chatting together, and there is no intention of celebrating in a big way.
Zhou Qiongyue slept with her two children in Qiongyue Pavilion that night. She had lunch with Jin the next day before taking the two children back to the palace.
As a result, when Zhou Qiongyue returned to the main courtyard, she found Yuan Bohua in casual clothes, weeding the vegetable garden that Zhou Qiongyue had planted for fun.
Zhou Qiongyue was delighted to receive such a surprise upon her return. "When did the prince return?"
Yuan Chaochang had already forgotten who this person was at this time. He just held his mother's hand tightly and stared at Yuan Bohua curiously.
Seeing his brother like this, Yuan Chaokang could only pretend to be a child to comfort his father. He pretended to be surprised and said, "Father, you are back. Kang'er missed you so much."
As Yuan Chaokang spoke, he ran over and hugged Yuan Bohua's legs to show his enthusiasm.
Yuan Bohua didn't hug his son right away. Instead, he pushed Yuan Chaokang away and went over to hug Zhou Qiongyue:
"I just got back. I guessed you would be back soon, so I didn't go to the Marquis Cheng'en Mansion to pick you up."
Yuan Chaokang stood in the vegetable patch, looking at his hands being torn apart. He sighed silently, thinking that whoever wanted to be a filial son would be the next one to do it, since he couldn't do it anyway.
Yuan Bohua was mainly afraid of missing Zhou Qiongyue on the road. He hadn't seen his princess for a long time, so of course he wanted to see Zhou Qiongyue earlier.
Zhou Qiongyue was now accustomed to Yuan Bohua being so close to her. However, she had not forgotten her two sons and quickly asked them to call him "Father".
Not only did Yuan Chaochang not scream, he also turned his head away. He saw Yuan Bohua pulling his brother away just now, so Yuan Chaochang didn't want to scream.
As for Yuan Chaokang, he is also a vengeful person. Humph, it’s too late to wait.
Looking at the two little brats like this, Yuan Bohua did not feel that his father's dignity was offended. Instead, he thought that the two little brats were quite interesting.
He was not in a hurry to develop a relationship with the two children. This time he would stay in Yuan'an for a while.
So Yuan Bohua directly took Zhou Qiongyue's hand and walked inside, without any intention of waiting for them to call anyone, "Let's go in and talk, don't worry about them."
Yuan Chaokang was not a real child and did not care about this. But Yuan Chaochang could not bear it and immediately burst into tears, "Mother, Mother..."
Zhou Qiongyue could only break free from Yuan Bohua's hand, turned around and hugged Yuan Chaochang, and said with a smile: "Why are you crying?"
"Mother, he is a bad man, don't go with him." Yuan Chaochang cried and wiped his tears on Zhou Qiongyue's shoulders. Seeing this scene, Yuan Bohua pursed his lips speechlessly.
Zhou Qiongyue found it extremely funny when she heard this. Children just can't stand being teased. "What's wrong with my father?"
"He beat his younger brother and stole our mother. He is bad, just bad." Yuan Chaochang howled and cried, holding Zhou Qiongyue's clothes tightly.
Yuan Bohua, listening nearby, felt like a calamity had fallen from the sky. When had he ever hit that brat Yuan Chaokang? As for snatching the 'concubine mother', she was originally his princess. Were these two brats fighting over her?
Yuan Bohua felt that this was a typical example of the evildoer filing a complaint first.
"Go hug your wife and cry by yourself, don't bother my princess!" Yuan Bohua said as he was about to hug Yuan Chaochang.
Yuan Chaochang hugged Zhou Qiongyue tightly, "Mother is Chang'er's, Chang'er's."
Yuan Bohua felt both angry and amused when he saw his eldest son like this.
Seeing that his brother was thinking this way about him, Yuan Chaokang also went over and hugged Zhou Qiongyue's thighs and howled.
Suddenly, Zhou Qiongyue felt that she was overwhelmed by the howling of these two boys. Zhou Qiongyue could only put Yuan Chaochang directly in Yuan Bohua's arms and said, "You made him cry, comfort him yourself."
When Yuan Chaochang saw that the person holding him had changed, he was stunned for a moment and then prepared to howl even louder.
Yuan Bohua held Yuan Chaochang in one hand and pulled Yuan Chaokang over with the other. Yuan Bohua did not deal with the eldest brother first, but instead looked at the second brother Yuan Chaokang, "Ten taels of silver, shut up."
Yuan Chaokang stretched out his claws directly, the meaning was very clear, otherwise he would howl again.
Yuan Bohua immediately asked Fang Fu next to him to give Yuan Chaokang ten taels of silver.
Yuan Chaokang received the silver, carefully put it in his purse, and stopped crying.
Yuan Bohua glanced at Yuan Chaokang thoughtfully and said, "I'll give you another ten taels of silver. How about you coax your elder brother into doing good?"
"Twenty taels. I'll take my elder brother out to play. I won't disturb you and mother." Yuan Chaokang said as he winked at Yuan Chaochang, asking him to continue crying.
Yuan Chaochang listened to his younger brother most of the time. Although he was curious about what his younger brother was discussing with his father, he still kept howling.
Yuan Bohua just wanted to chat with the princess and the other two at this time, and didn't want to get entangled with the two children, so he immediately nodded in agreement.
Fang Fu received the signal from his prince and quickly took out twenty taels and gave them to Yuan Chaokang.
Yuan Chaokang accepted the silver and only took out five taels of silver and put it in his own purse. Then he signaled his father to let his brother down.
Yuan Chaochang was put on the ground. Just as he was hesitating whether to lie down and roll around, he saw his younger brother coming over and stuffing the silver into his hand.
Yuan Chaochang wiped his tears instantly and looked at his brother, "How much?"
Yuan Chaokang actively explained his brother's doubts, mainly because he knew that his brother had trouble counting the silver. "Fifteen taels!"
Yuan Chaochang would not be fooled by his brother now, "Where is my brother?"
"I'm also fifteen taels." Yuan Chaokang was also a little helpless. The older his brother got, the harder it was to cheat him.
Yuan Chaochang still believed his brother's words. His brother usually cheated him openly, so he was satisfied and put the silver in his hand into his little purse.
Yuan Chaokang went up and took Yuan Chaochang's hand, "Let's go deposit the money."
After hearing what his brother said, Yuan Chaochang happily followed him. Ever since Yuan Chaokang showed Yuan Chaochang the importance of silver, Yuan Chaochang also likes to hide silver.
This way, when he goes to the market with his mother and brother, he can buy whatever he likes without having to ask his mother for permission.
Yuan Chaochang only tried it once and fell in love with the feeling of being able to make his own decisions.
Yuan Bohua glanced at the two children's backs and turned back inside. He decided to teach them a lesson that night. He planned to wait until the two children fell asleep and then search for their money.
