As a result, these prisoners had to work honestly every day, otherwise they would be whipped.
General Huo would run to the construction site after breakfast every morning. Now the prisoners were afraid of General Huo when they saw him, and no one dared to cause trouble.
Chu Jinglin was happy to have General Huo as his free supervisor. After all, he felt a lot more relaxed with General Huo watching over him.
The cement road project is progressing in an orderly manner. Han Xiao has been staying at home recently to accompany the young master and Chaochao, cultivating the father-son relationship.
Haven’t experts in modern times said that what children need is the company of their parents?
The young master also needed his company, so Han Xiao felt relieved after handing all the matters over to Lu Qingyun and Xing Yi.
However, every day when Lu Qingyun came to the Han family, he would look at Han Xiao with resentment.
Han Xiao has a wife and children, but poor Lu Qingyun still has no wife.
Han Xiao pretended not to see it and continued to accompany the young master at home. It was impossible for him to work.
Isn't the purpose of making money to make yourself feel more comfortable? Han Xiao thought heartlessly.
However, the matter between Lu Qingyun and Liu Anlan cannot be dragged on like this. If the Liu family lets Liu Anlan get married, his brother will have nowhere to cry.
When he felt Lu Qingyun's resentment again, Han Xiao couldn't help but quietly ask the young master: "Ruanruan, have you contacted Liu Anlan recently?"
The young master was lying on the bed and was about to fall asleep. When he heard Han Xiao asking about Liu Anlan, he turned around and hugged Han Xiao's waist, rubbing against Han Xiao's chest: "Yes, my husband, why are you asking this?"
Han Xiao held the young master in his arms and asked him to find a comfortable position. "Just think about whether you can write a letter to ask Liu Anlan what he thinks of Qingyun? Qingyun has been very busy recently, so I can't go to Qingping Town to see him..."
After hearing this, the young master opened his eyes wide and was no longer sleepy. He listened to Han Xiao telling the story between them like a curious baby.
After listening, the young master asked carefully: "Will Uncle Lu agree with the two of them?"
The young master knew that the Lu family was a fairly large family in the capital, so how could they be willing to let the next generation head of the family marry a boy from a small family?
This is also the problem that Liu Anlan has been worried about, which is why he dared not agree to Lu Qingyun.
"Don't worry about this. Qingyun must have made all the arrangements. You know Uncle Lu well. He's not that kind of snobbish person."
For the Lu family, they no longer need to use marriage to consolidate the family's status. It is better to let Lu Qingyun choose one he likes.
"Okay, I'll write to him tomorrow and ask him. Tell Qingyun not to worry for now." The young master also knew that because his husband was a hands-off boss, Lu Qingyun and Xing Yi were very busy.
When I saw them both today, their dark circles were almost bigger than their eyes.
After resolving his brother's concern, Han Xiao hugged the young master and went to sleep.
However, at some point, a rumor spread in the capital.
Originally, this rumor did not attract anyone's attention, but a storyteller in a teahouse brought up the romantic affairs of the current emperor.
Now the rumor spread quickly throughout the capital.
Soon it reached Han Xiao's ears. As Han Xiao listened to the servant's report, the wrinkles between his brows silently revealed the anger in his heart at the moment.
"Bang!" Han Xiao slapped the table hard, and the teacup on the table fell to the ground.
The servants shrank their necks and thought to themselves how scary it was. Their young master was always smiling, but they didn't expect him to be so scary when he got angry.
"You can go down." Han Xiao took a deep breath and waved his hand to let him go down.
He sat in his seat and thought for a while before going to Han Mingyuan's study.
When he arrived at Han Mingyuan's study, there were already several people sitting inside. They didn't look surprised at all when they saw Han Xiao come in.
"Now that you're here, find a seat." Han Mingyuan seemed to have known that Han Xiao would come.
Han Xiao sat next to Mr. Qinghe with an extremely ugly expression. He didn't expect that these people would use such despicable rumors to attack the young master.
Judging from Han Mingyuan's expression, it was obvious that this rumor had already spread to many court ministers.
Han Xiao opened his mouth and wanted to ask Han Mingyuan what was going on, but Han Mingyuan just shook his head at him and didn't let him speak.
Mr. Qinghe glanced at the father and son, then stood up and said, "I know about this matter. I will go back and ask the emperor, but the most important thing is not to let this rumor reach soft ears. As for the person who spread the rumor, Xiuran, you go and investigate."
"Yes, sir." Ruan Xiuran's expression was not very good. He responded immediately after Mr. Qinghe gave the order.
"As for Han Xiao, you should just stay with Ruanruan for the time being and don't let these dirty things affect him."
Han Xiao nodded. The matter was of great importance. It was not just about the emperor's attitude, he also had to consider the young master.
It seems that the plan needs to be advanced.
There was no need to investigate this rumor, as Han Xiao already had a candidate in mind. There were only a few people who had grudges against them, unlike those who wanted the young master to return to the palace.
But it would be better to let Ruan Xiuran investigate carefully. He wanted to see what other tricks they hadn't used yet.
After coming out of Han Mingyuan's study, Han Xiao sent someone to call Xing Yi.
Xing Yi is also responsible for the restoration of the cement road in Qiwuju, and has been very busy these days. However, Han Xiao asked him to come over, so it must be something important.
He put down the work in his hands and went to Han Xiao's study without delay.
"How's things going?" Han Xiao put down the brush in his hand and looked at Xing Yi.
Xing Yi looked even more imposing than usual. He knew what Han Xiao was asking, so he said, "Alright, sir, when do you want to start?"
"Hmph, you've heard all the rumors this time, right? You've been secretly watching the Zhang family and the Second Prince. Have you discovered anything?"
Xing Yi took out a few pieces of paper from his pocket and placed them in front of Han Xiao.
Han Xiao picked it up, took a quick look, and said coldly, "It really is them. I just didn't expect it to be the Fourth Princess's people."
Empress Zhang, the second prince, the fourth princess, really no one was left behind.
Han Xiao put the letter paper on the candle flame to burn it clean, then said to Xing Yi: "You have to work hard recently. Arrange the things first. I want to see it in three days."
"Yes, young master."
Knowing that Han Xiao was about to take action, Xing Yi's expression changed, and the ruthlessness in his eyes was even more intense than Han Xiao's. He had wanted to take action for a long time and was just waiting for Han Xiao's order.
After Xing Yi left, Han Xiao sat in a chair and looked at the words he had just written, staring blankly and emptying his mind.
After a long time, the young master pushed the door open and saw Han Xiao rubbing his eyebrows. He ran behind Han Xiao with heartache.
