"Well, Deputy Envoy Zhao, thank you for your hard work."
Li Xingye took the record.
Zhao Chenhan said, "In addition to the specific details of the mission, there are also some of my thoughts during the mission. Please give me some advice, sir."
"Okay, I'll reply to you after I read it." Li Xingye said.
Only then did Zhao Chenhan leave with satisfaction.
Zhao Chenhan returned to Prince Yu's Mansion first. Zhao Mingzhu looked at Zhao Chenhan's capable appearance and nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, he has changed a lot after this mission. It's worth it for your brother-in-law to go to Li Xingye to plead for him."
Zhao Chenhan said, "I want to thank my brother-in-law. If you don't go on the mission yourself, you won't know how difficult it is. Just think about how my brother-in-law was able to handle the embezzlement case of disaster relief funds. It's really not easy."
"It's not easy for you to endure this hardship. Go back early. Mother has been waiting anxiously." Zhao Mingzhu said.
"Then I'll come see my brother-in-law another day."
Zhao Chenhan was about to leave when Zhao Mingzhu suddenly stopped him and asked, "Is Zhao Lin back?"
Zhao Chenhan said: "He should be back."
Zhao Mingzhu asked, "How is he?"
Zhao Chenhan shook his head and said, "Big brother is very dissatisfied with me and ignores me."
Zhao Mingzhu sighed softly and said, "It's normal for him to be angry, but don't hold a grudge against him. No matter what, you two are brothers. Support each other from now on. The Marquis' Mansion depends on you."
Zhao Chenhan said, "Big sister is right. As long as big brother is willing to come back, I can give up my position at any time and be his assistant to support him in prospering the Marquisate."
"It's best that you think so, but you don't have to give up your position. If that day comes in the future, a marquis will be of no use." Zhao Mingzhu said.
Zhao Chenhan knew what Zhao Mingzhu meant and feigned joy, saying, "I believe my brother-in-law will definitely have that day."
Seeing that Zhao Mingzhu had no intention of speaking, Zhao Chenhan said, "I'll go back to see my mother first."
After leaving Prince Yu's Mansion, Zhao Chenhan's face suddenly darkened, and he sneered, "You want me and that bastard to support each other? Pah, is he worthy? Humph, we are indeed siblings. He wants to kill everyone in the Marquis' Mansion, and you still miss him. I will let you know who is the most suitable owner of the Marquis' Mansion."
When Zhao Chenhan returned to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, Han Yuehua immediately came to greet him, took Zhao Chenhan's hand and looked him up and down, her eyes red: "You've lost weight, lost weight. I told you not to go, just send someone to say hello to them."
Zhao Chenhan smiled and said, "If you want to achieve great things, you can't be afraid of hardship. I benefited a lot from this trip. It's indeed much more than what I learned in school. Besides, the Marquis' Mansion raised me, so how can I just sit there and do nothing? This opportunity is rare, and it was only because of my eldest brother-in-law's request that I got it, so I have to do it no matter how difficult it is. I just hope that when I go out, people won't look down on our Marquis' Mansion."
"Good son, you are so thoughtful." Han Yuehua was so moved by Zhao Chenhan's words that she almost cried.
Zhao Mingya said, "I believe that with Chen Han here, the Marquis' Mansion will definitely become more and more prosperous, and sooner or later he will become a Duke."
Han Yuehua snorted: "What's the point of being a Duke? When your brother-in-law becomes emperor, can't he be given the title of King?"
"Yes, yes, I want to be king," Zhao Mingya said repeatedly. "I need to think of a good title. King of Zhao? It doesn't sound very nice. King of Han? It's a bit vulgar too. What should I call it?"
Zhao Mingya started daydreaming in broad daylight.
Zhao Chenhan quickly lowered his voice and said, "Mother, Fifth Sister, please don't talk nonsense. This is a serious matter. If someone hears and reports us to His Majesty, not only will we be in trouble, but it will also implicate Eldest Sister and her husband. Things must be done in secrecy. Don't say anything until you succeed."
Han Yuehua was not angry at all after being taught a lesson by her adopted son. Instead, she felt very relieved: "Good son, you have grown up and are more thoughtful than I am."
Zhao Chenhan said, "This is all thanks to my work. I will go down there again if I have the chance. Only by doing more can I grow. Time waits for no one. The competition between my brother-in-law and the Crown Prince is becoming increasingly fierce. If I don't grow quickly, I will not be able to keep up with my brother-in-law and will not be able to compete for benefits for our mansion."
"Good son, you are truly a good son to your mother." Han Yuehua was moved to tears again. "When your father comes back, I will ask him to write a letter to His Majesty to ask for the decree to make you the Crown Prince. Then I will arrange tasks for you and make sure you make great contributions so that everyone can see that our Zhenbei Marquisate has a successor."
Zhao Mingya said, "Mom, let's not talk about this for now. Chen Han must be hungry after all this travel. Let him eat first."
Han Yuehua came to her senses and said, "Yes, yes, look at my brain. Aunt Wang, hurry up and serve the food. Let's nourish the young master."
Zhao Chenhan was pulled by Han Yuehua to sit at the dining table, and soon the servants brought up a large table of dishes, including all kinds of rare delicacies.
"Good brother, come and eat. These are all prepared by mother specially for you. Look, this is a big carp caught from the Jinshui River, this is abalone sent from the East China Sea thousands of miles away, and this is a reward from the palace, a specialty sent specially from the desert in the west. Mother is reluctant to eat it and keeps it especially for you." Zhao Mingya picked up some food one by one and gave it to Zhao Chenhan, and soon his bowl was full.
"Enough, enough. Mother, fifth sister, you guys eat too." Zhao Chenhan said.
"Mom is not hungry, just watch you eat." Han Yuehua said kindly.
Zhao Chenhan was eating with relish, but suddenly stopped and sighed.
"What's wrong? Is it not to your liking?" Han Yuehua asked hurriedly.
"No. How could the food mother prepared specially for me not be to my liking?" Zhao Chenhan said, "It's just that I suddenly thought of my eldest brother. Although he is the chief inspector and has the support of Lord Li Xingye, the local corrupt officials are in power. His job as an inspector is not easy. He has offended many people, even the governor of Jiujiang and Fengyuan City. I don't know how to explain to Lord Li when he returns this time."
"Humph! It's true that it wasn't easy. Do you really think he's a genius just because he wrote a few poems and can do anything?"
Mentioning Zhao Lin, Han Yuehua snorted coldly and said, "Li Xingye is also a fool. He was coaxed by a few words from that rebellious son and made him an inspector. He even asked your eldest brother-in-law to personally ask for your deputy inspector. Did that rebellious son cause any trouble? If so, I will ask your father to report Li Xingye, accusing him of abusing his power for personal gain and making sure he doesn't get to be the prefect of Shengjing."
"Absolutely not! How can Big Brother continue to serve as an official if this happens?" Zhao Chenhan feigned persuasion. "Big Brother has already been ostracized by many people because of Minister Fu's comments. He finally earned Li Xingye's respect. If this causes Li Xingye to dislike him, wouldn't that ruin his future? Big Brother may have severed ties with us, but in my heart, he's still Big Brother. We absolutely cannot let him do this."
