Chen Boyang's gentle words of comfort made Princess Yi Yang look better. What a woman wants is not a man to help solve problems, but someone to listen to her complaints and not be impatient. That's enough.
"I have an idea of who to choose as Qian'er's husband. What do you think of the eldest grandson of the Zhao family?"
Yo ho!
It's really fate. Zhao Youping didn't even know that someone had taken a fancy to him. He hadn't even approached her yet, but she was already keeping an eye on him.
Chen Boyang asked, "Is it the Zhao family of General Huqi?"
"Yes, the Zhao family is very upright, and there aren't so many messy things in the inner house. Although Zhao Biao is a bit rough, he values friendship and loyalty, and the children and grandchildren he taught are all filial and sensible.
Zhao Youping is gaining experience in the Dali Temple. If we help him in the future, it will be no problem for him to become the head of the Dali Temple.
The families of military generals don't have so many twists and turns, and they just think about using their daughters-in-law to show off their power. I think it's much better than those families of civil officials.
This woman, when she marries, she lives her life and it depends on the family tradition. If the family tradition is good, she will live comfortably. If she cares too much about empty reputation, she will only be wronged.
Princess Yi Yang was also inspired by this. Her ex-husband married into a prominent family with many members. Many of his disciples served as officials in the court and were well-known.
But after she got married, she realized how frustrating her life was. There were more rules than in the imperial palace, and there were many sisters-in-law, mothers-in-law, and elders. Princess Yi Yang was used to being spoiled, and she was often bullied in such a family. She was suppressed by the elders with rules and etiquette, and every day was like a battlefield.
In addition, she only gave birth to a daughter, which made her mother-in-law even more dissatisfied. She had concubines and maids one after another. The men were handsome and talented, but also romantic. After ten years of entanglement, Princess Yi Yang felt that she had lost half her life there.
If it weren't for her family's prominent status, she wouldn't have been able to get a divorce. Now, when she sees her ex-husband's family, she hates them so much that her teeth are itching.
Her ex-husband's family was not a pushover either. After they destroyed her reputation, only Chen Boyang didn't despise her. So Princess Yi Yang really cared about Chen Boyang.
Princess Yi Yang wanted to live her own life behind closed doors, so she kept her distance from her ex-husband's family.
Now it’s her daughter’s turn to get married, and Princess Yi Yang doesn’t want her daughter to suffer the same hardships she has suffered.
Chen Boyang knew that she was just expressing her own thoughts and had no intention of asking for his opinion. Not to mention that she was just a stepdaughter, even if she was a biological daughter, the mother would have the final say.
"As long as you think it's good, the General's Mansion is not bad either. I've met the eldest son of the Zhao family a few times. He's honest and steady, a good man."
"If you think it's a good idea, I'll ask someone to sound it out tomorrow. The eldest grandmother of the Zhao family is a straightforward person and won't make things difficult for her daughter-in-law. I'm just worried that my daughter will suffer unspeakable hardships."
Chen Boyang said distressedly: "You have been wronged."
"It's all in the past. I'll just wait and see what happens to the Xu family. There will always be a day when we have to visit their graves."
Chen Boyang suppressed his unhappiness and didn't want to mention the Xu family.
"Go and rest first, don't get too tired."
"Okay, you should rest early too."
Chen Boyang was in no mood to rest, so he went to the Dali Temple that night to try to get the servant out, but it was difficult to find anyone at night, so he had to give up.
The next morning, while the family was having breakfast, the doorman came to report, "Someone from the Dali Temple wants to see the Marquis."
Chen Boyang was so scared that he dropped his chopsticks. Princess Yi Yang rolled her eyes at him and asked, "What are you afraid of?"
"Someone from the Dali Temple? What happened in our family that alarmed the Dali Temple? Who is coming?"
"It's a police officer named Zhao."
"Zhao, please come in."
Xu Qian'er finished her bird's nest soup in big mouthfuls, put down her bowl and chopsticks, and said, "I have an appointment with friends to go shopping today, so I won't be back for lunch. You don't have to wait for me for dinner, you guys can eat first."
"Don't leave in a hurry. Take a look at this Zhao Dalang. If he is satisfied, I will make him your husband."
"Ah, you called everyone home?"
Xu Qianer was very surprised. Her mother's actions were so quick.
"My mother just told me about a constable. Is your daughter so worthless?"
"What do you know? This is the eldest grandson of the General of Cavalry, and he's training in the Dali Temple. How can he be a small constable forever?
The Zhao family has strict family education, and all their children must start from the bottom. They don't raise dandies. It's better than those second-generation rich kids who spend their days taking cats and dogs for walks, hunting and playing with crickets, right? "
"Then let me take a look."
Xu Qian'er is delicate and pretty, not absolutely beautiful, but she has the air of being well-educated and well-mannered. In addition, her mother is a princess, and she is also a bit carefree and naive. The fusion of the two temperaments is surprisingly unique and eye-catching.
Zhao Youping stayed up all night, and his handsome face showed only slight fatigue and no dark circles. It’s good to be young and be able to endure.
With his back straight and his steps steady, he gave people a sense of security, a sense of reliability and responsibility. Xu Qian'er was very satisfied at first sight.
Zhao Youping clasped his hands and saluted, saying, "Greetings to Lord Chen and Princess Chen. Please forgive me for disturbing you so early in the morning."
Chen Boyang's face turned pale. It happened so quickly.
Princess Yiyang didn't notice his abnormality. She was only focused on sizing up her future son-in-law. She smiled and said, "Don't bother me. Mr. Zhao, how old are you this year? Are you married?"
Zhao Youping was very surprised. Why were they talking about his marriage?
He said calmly, "My Lady, I am eighteen years old this year. My mother decides my marriage, and I have no say in it. I came to your house today because of a case.
Yesterday, your servants set fire to the charity cemetery and were caught red-handed by me. According to their confession, it was the Marquis who ordered them to set the fire. We would like to ask Marquis Chen to accompany us to the Dali Temple."
Princess Yiyang glanced at Chen Boyang and frowned, "Why did you burn the funeral home? There are dead bodies everywhere. Did you do it?"
Zhao Youping said, "This is about Lord Chen's previous wife. Her body is also in the funeral home. This wife's death was very strange. Lord Chen probably didn't want anyone to know the cause of his wife's death and wanted to destroy the body to get rid of the evidence, right?"
When mentioning Fang Jingru, Princess Yi Yang's face turned ugly. How come she appeared again after being dead for so many years?
"That woman is really haunting. She won't let anyone rest in peace even after her death. But she's gone now, so what's the point of pursuing her further?
This is also our Marquis's family affair. Why is Mr. Zhao wasting time investigating old matters? Is the Dali Temple idle? "
Princess Yi Yang wanted to keep things quiet, as it would not be good if her master was seen going to the Dali Temple.
Zhao Youping said sternly, "Princess, you can't say that. Madam Fang died miserably. Don't you want to find out the truth?
Although some of the words may be unpleasant to hear, they are honest advice that hurts. Lord Chen can be cruel to Madam Fang, so he may be cruel to his current wife, that is, you, the princess, in the future.
"Don't you want to know the truth about Madam Fang's unjust case? To gain fame and fortune, he murdered his wife and wiped out the entire Yue family. How can you dare to sleep with such a cruel and ruthless person, even worse than an animal?"
