Chapter 1083: Father and Sons Causing Trouble
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
At night, Prince Yan returned to the courtyard. It had been lively for the entire day during the day, but it suddenly quietened down and his heart began to feel a little empty again. He took out the half-finished painting and raised his brush, intending to finish it.
He was painting Zijun and the swaddled Yan Jiuchao, the people he had loved in his life. Of course, he had more people to dote on now, but these two people would always occupy an irreplaceable position in his heart.
Prince Yan spent an hour painting. The Zijun in the painting had gentle eyes, as if she was still in love with him. Yan Jiuchao, who was swaddled, was sleeping soundly. He did not have to worry about Yan Jiuchao’s health, let alone worry about the storm in the court. The family of three was just happy.
He put down his brush and looked at his painting in satisfaction, planning to go to bed to rest. At this moment, three little black eggs walked over in small pajamas and carrying small pillows.
“What’s wrong? Do you want to sleep with me?” Prince Yan looked at the three of them gently.
The three of them threw themselves into his arms with tears in their eyes. They had been beaten up by their mother. Boohoo-
The next day, the news of Yan Huaijing being conferred the title of Crown Prince and Yan Jiuchao being conferred the title of Regent spread throughout the capital. Everyone who heard the news was dumbfounded. What was going on? That kid from the Prince Yan Manor had been conferred the title of a prince? And it was the Prince Regent? Are you kidding me!!!
That kid was just a little lunatic, okay? They knew that the Emperor doted on him, but could he not use the country to dote on him? How sick was the
Emperor to be able to promote such a useless fellow to the throne of Regent?
The commoners were complaining!
Yan Jiuchao went out to buy candied hawthorn for the three little black eggs to comfort their hearts after being beaten up by their mother. Just as they walked to a stall selling candied hawthorn, he heard passers-by discussing something else they had bought.
“Have you heard? Prince Yan Manor has another prince.”
“Ah, you’re talking about Yan Jiuchao.”
“Shh, how dare you call his name? Aren’t you afraid that he’ll chop off your head! That guy is a lunatic! He was crazy in the past! I’m afraid he’ll be even crazier in the future!”
“Is, is he that terrifying?”
“How can that not be? Let me tell you, my second uncle’s steward has seen it with his own eves! Someone offended him verballv. and he dragged them down
to deal with them!” The person who spoke made a throat-slitting gesture, which clearly meant that he wanted to kill them.
Everyone gasped! How could anyone kill someone without a word? He was simply a tyrant!
“When did this happen? Why didn’t I know?” Yan Jiuchao stuck his head over.
The burly man was in high spirits and did not notice that the person who asked him was a noble young master who was clearly incompatible with everyone. The burly man clicked his tongue and said, “How can everyone know about this? Those who dare to spout nonsense have been silenced!”
Yan Jiuchao nodded and said, “Then why weren’t you and your second uncle’s steward killed?”
The burly man was stunned. Where did this brat come from? Did he know how to speak?
Everyone also looked at the burly man curiously.
The burly man cleared his throat and revealed more details in order to prove that he was not lying. “It’s true. I’m not lying to you. It happened in Willow Alley. That young master only scolded him when he was drunk. Who can take his words seriously after drinking? He dealt with him just like that! Do you think we commoners can still have a good life if such a person is the Regent?”
At the mention of Willow Alley, Yan Jiuchao remembered that there was indeed such a thing. He smiled faintly and said, “You’re wrong. Not only did he deal with him, but he also dealt with his entire family. Don’t you know? That person’s surname is Hu. Old Master Hu was a high-ranking official in the Imperial Court. Young Master Hu is his only legitimate grandson.”
“Ah, little brother, so you know about it too!” He was his fellow kind! The burly man instantly had a good impression of Yan Jiuchao. “Little brother, what else do you know?”
Yan Jiuchao said without changing his expression, “I also know that Young Master Hu didn’t make a slip of the tongue when he was drunk. He used the force of alcohol to humiliate a good woman. The woman’s family filed a complaint to the authorities, but they were suppressed by Old Master Hu with his power. The woman’s family couldn’t seek justice and was instead expelled by the Hu family. Young Master Hu fulfilled a matter on his mind and continued to drink and have fun outside. Coincidentally, he bumped into Young Master Yan.”
The burly man blew on his beard and glared. “Little brother! You can’t spout nonsense! Young Master Hu and Master Hu are both good people!”
Yan Jiuchao said indifferently, “Have you seen them? Why did you say that they’re good people?”
The burly man said angrily, “Then have you seen them before? Why did you say that they’re evil?”
Yan Jiuchao said casually, “I was the one who killed him. I was the one who tore
Old Master Huts official seal. Do you think I’ve seen them before?”
The burly man frowned. ‘Who… who the f*ck are you?”
Yan Jiuchao leaned towards the burly man. “You criticized me behind my back for a long time. Didn’t you even recognize me?”
The burly man thought about these words for a long time before his body suddenly trembled. “Yan… Yan, Yan, Yan, Yan… Yan Jiuchao?”
Yan Jiuchao revealed a devilish evil smile. The burly man was scared out of his wits. His vision darkened and he fainted. Everyone was shocked and dispersed with shouts. Looking at everyone’s fleeing backs, Yan Jiuchao smiled and clapped his hands. “No need to thank me.”
The candied hawthorn vendor stared at him, dumbfounded, as if he didn’t understand where his non-thank you came from.
Yan Jiuchao said, “Everyone must have thanked me a hundred times in their hearts for a good official like me who serves the country and the people.”
The vendor : “…
Originally, many of those people had come to buy candied hawthorn. In the end, they were frightened away by Yan Jiuchao. The vendor actually wanted to run, but the candied hawthorn was so heavy, how could he run?
Yan Jiuchao’s gaze landed on the candied hawthorn stick that he had inserted into the grass stick and he asked, “How many more sticks do you have here?”
The vendor’s eyes lit up! He quickly counted and said, “Sixty sticks!”
I want them all! The regent’s heroic voice flashed across the vendor’s mind! Unexpectedly, Yan Jiuchao said calmly, “Oh, give me six sticks.”
The vendor : “…”
In the past, when Yan Jiuchao went out, Shadow Thirteen and Shadow Six would definitely follow him. Later on, when he had martial arts, Shadow Thirteen and Shadow Six could no longer defeat him, so there was no need for them to follow him all the time. However, it was precisely because they were not watching that a certain young master was even more outrageous than before.
Shadow Thirteen and Shadow Six had returned from scouting for information. When they passed by the street near the Young Master Manor, they could not help but be puzzled.
What happened? The streets were so deserted!!!
Yan Jiuchao returned to the Young Master Manor with the candied hawthorn. Yu Wan had already tidied up the things that she needed to return to the village. The three little eggs had also dressed neatly and washed up under Prince Yan’s care. However, it was unknown if it was everyone’s imagination, but they felt that after a night, their prince seemed to be a little haggard.
The style of the three little black eggs was like this: At first, they were obedient, then they were cute, and in the end, they almost overturned Prince Yan’s house.
In terms of the essence of causing trouble, the three little fellows had perfectly inherited their father’s good tradition. They even had a tendency to surpass their father. After all, their father was only scolding people, but they were directly doing it!
After breakfast, Yan Jiuchao and Yu Wan brought the three little eggs and boarded the carriage back to Lotus Flower Village.
Prince Yan was actually a little worried about this trip. Yu Wan was about to give birth in less than half a month. At this time, she should stay at home and recuperate. Moreover, the difficult birth of Shangguan Yan back then had traumatized him. He was afraid that something would happen to Yu Wan.
Prince Yan had also asked indirectly if he should bring the Yu family to the
Prince Manor for a gathering. Yu Wan had thought about this long ago, but the Yu family was born and raised in Lotus Flower Village. It was really a little reserved for them to come to the Prince Manor.
Yu Wan repeatedly assured Prince Yan that she would be fine. Only then did Prince Yan reluctantly let the couple bring the little munchkins back to the village.
Lotus Flower Village had changed a lot compared to a year ago. In fact, because of the minerals, the business chain had spread to the town, and Lotus Flower Town had become much more prosperous.
“Eh? There are so many more shops.” Yu Wan looked at the shops on the street and could not help but be surprised, but she was not too surprised. After all, their village had a mine. This area was now considered half a mining area. Countless merchants had set their sights on this place. The town that was originally the most backward had jumped to the richest center.
The business of the White Jade Restaurant became even more popular. Yu Wan was in a hurry to return to the village and did not get out of the carriage to take a look at the White Jade Restaurant. She planned to stay there when she returned.
When they passed by the market, Yu Wan almost didn’t recognize it. In the past, the market was open-air and only occupied a palm-sized space beside the path. But now, a huge and long shed had been built. It was not inferior to the market in town at all.
The rule of the market was to open a small market every three days and a large market every ten days. Usually, they would be able to sell most of the things in their hands in the morning and then start to close the stall one after another. However, it was almost noon, and the transactions here seemed to have just begun. It was extremely lively.
Shadow Six had long obtained the news. He turned around and saw Yu Wan’s surprised expression. He smiled and explained, “The Imperial Court has also intervened in the mining. In the past, there weren’t enough miners, so they recruited a lot of commoners. There are a few hundred local and foreign miners. Many of them are the families of the miners. They don’t need to farm, so they came here during the day to set up a stall to do business.”
There were actually hundreds of miners. This was too unexpected for Yu Wan.
Outsiders had no land to farm, and the local people probably didn’t like to farm even if they had land. After all, the salary for mining was high enough, so they didn’t expect to farm anymore. It was fine if they had many brothers in the family, but if they didn’t have enough brothers, they might as well rent them out to others to farm. In short, everyone’s days were quite good now.
However, the interference of the Imperial Court made Yu Wan pause for a moment. “The mines mined by the Imperial Court…”
So the Yu family was considered part of the imperial court? Although that land was conferred to her Dad back then, it was not impossible for the imperial court to secretly do something..
