Back to the marriage proposal, helping the incompetent husband to rise to the top

Chapter 82 I'm afraid there will be a rebellion
Seeing this, Ye Chenxi suddenly became unhappy: "Is there anything I can't listen to? You two know my secrets!"

Liao Fuyu hesitated for a moment and asked, "You want to listen to my daughter's private affairs?"

Ye Chenxi was speechless, so he had to stop the carriage and jumped down: "You guys go back first, I'll go to Yipinju to buy some braised pork elbow and then go back!"

Upon hearing this, Liao Fuyu hurriedly lifted the car curtain and said, "Chen Xi, bring me one too."

"Got it!" Ye Chenxi waved his hand and walked into the roadside restaurant.

There were only two people left in the car.

Liao Fuyu showed a heavy look: "Qing'er, there is something that I have been holding back for two days, and I really can't hold it back anymore... I found that something is wrong with Prince Duan's Mansion!"

The wedding date of Liao Fuyu and Chu Xiaoyan is set for the tenth day of March.

There is only one month left until the wedding.

Liao Fuyu said that as her wedding date was approaching and she was about to marry into another family as a daughter-in-law, she felt a little nervous and wanted to learn more about Prince Duan's Mansion in advance.

For this purpose, she secretly went to Prince Duan's Mansion.

As a result, he encountered something extraordinary outside the back door of Prince Duan's Mansion.

Liao Fuyu described the incident vividly: "That day, it was almost dark, and several people dressed as farmers pushed a cart loaded with vegetables and sneaked into the small door of the back kitchen of Prince Duan's mansion. I saw through the crack in the door that they threw the cabbages on the ground, lifted the wooden board on the cart, and carried out a box of gunpowder. In addition to the gunpowder, there were also dozens of knives."

Ye Wanqing was shocked.

Liao Fuyu continued, "You find it strange too, right? Who needs to use gunpowder to make fire when cooking? Who needs to use a long knife to cut vegetables?"

Ye Wanqing's heart was filled with turmoil.

Could it be that Prince Duan is planning to rebel in advance?

If this is the case, Ye Chenxi, Chu Anlan, Liao Fuyu, and those royal family members who are on good terms with Chu Xiaoyan will all be implicated to varying degrees!

Ye Wanqing's mind was working rapidly.

Liao Fuyu is the daughter of a military general. She is upright and impulsive, and cannot keep secrets. She must not be made aware of this matter for the time being.

If Prince Duan knew that Liao Fuyu had discovered his secret, he would easily silence her.

The first step right now is to protect Liao Fuyu.

For the rest, we’ll find another way.

Ye Wanqing suppressed the surging emotions in her heart and looked at Liao Fuyu calmly: "Prince Duan is devoted to seeking immortality and takes a lot of elixirs every day. Alchemy requires a lot of precious medicinal materials. The more precious the medicinal materials, the more dangerous the places they grow in. Going to dangerous places, naturally requires gunpowder and knives."

Liao Fuyu suddenly realized what was going on when she heard this: "So that's what's going on? Why didn't I think of that? It was just a false alarm!"

Ye Wanqing lowered her head and drank tea to hide her expression.

Liao Fuyu patted her cheeks and smiled bitterly, "Such a simple thing, I should have thought of it earlier, but I kept thinking about the fear! I even thought, maybe Prince Duan's Mansion is going to rebel?
It seems that I have lived in the northern border for too long. I have been influenced by the long-term austerity atmosphere of the border. My mind is full of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, and I cannot rebel..."

Ye Wanqing tightened her grip on the teacup slightly: "Fu Yu, be careful with your words."

Liao Fuyu stuck out her tongue: "Anyway, no one heard it."

Ye Wanqing whispered, "Treason is a serious crime punishable by the death of nine generations of your clan. Don't speak of it carelessly. Trouble comes from the mouth. Don't tell anyone about what you said to me today, not even Chu Xiaoyan. Do you understand?"

"I'll listen to you!" Liao Fuyu nodded repeatedly.

Ye Wanqing looked at the innocent girl in front of him and couldn't help but sigh.

The words of the old monk from Rongguang Temple rang in her ears again: If you do good deeds, you will receive blessings accordingly.

Good deeds?

Saving one life is a good deed; saving hundreds of lives is also a good deed.

At the foot of Yinxu Mountain, Chu Anlan saved so many people. Aren’t the kindness and merits he accumulated enough to earn him a long life?
Why must his life be put together with others, forcing her to make choices again and again?

He had never done anything wrong. Moreover, if Prince Duan really rebelled, Ye Chenxi would also be implicated.

That's her elder brother!
What should we do to rescue the innocent people safely?
Oh, what a headache!
Maybe it was because the carriage was too hot, but Ye Wanqing felt a little breathless.

As the wedding date approached, Liao Fuyu became extremely busy.

After driving for a while, she stopped the carriage and said, "Qing'er, I will come to see you another day! The embroiderer said that she wants me to try on the wedding dress in the afternoon."

Ye Wanqing nodded: "Go ahead."

Liao Fuyu jumped off the carriage and climbed into her own carriage.

Soon, the carriage disappeared at the street corner.

Ye Wanqing told the driver: "Go back home."

……

Candidates taking part in the joint examination would be concentrated in the dormitories arranged by the Imperial College and could only leave after the examination was over.

The Imperial College remained closed until the end of the imperial examination.

Ye Chenxi was so happy that he didn’t have to study for the time being. After meeting a playmate on the street, he didn’t even go home.

Both sons were not at home, and Ye Hongwei had gone to handle official business. The entire Princess's Mansion was extremely quiet.

Ye Hongwei came back at dinner time.

During the meal, a family of three sat around the table.

Looking at the large table of sumptuous delicacies, Ye Hongwei asked with a sullen face, "Did Chen Xi go out fooling around again?"

Chu Yanrong put down her chopsticks and said, "I heard that it was the birthday of the second son of the Hanlin scholar's family, and Chen Xi and his classmates went to celebrate his birthday."

"Where to celebrate?" Ye Hongwei continued to ask.

Chu Yanrong pursed her lips and said, "A group of young young men, who are at the age of having fun, where else can they go to celebrate? Of course, they should go to Yipinju."

Ye Hongwei's face turned completely cold: "Yipinju, what kind of place is that? A bunch of young boys, eating, drinking and having fun in a place of fireworks! At such a young age, they are not afraid of contracting dirty diseases!"

"Chen Xi just went there to join in the fun, he won't do anything else." Chu Yanrong advised: "Calm down and eat first. If you really can't stand it, just think of a way to close the place later."

How could Ye Hongwei eat that?

He turned to look at the obedient and sensible Ye Wanqing: "And you!"

Ye Wanqing put down the bowl and accepted the scolding seriously.

Ye Hongwei held his breath and said, "That Chu Anlan has been hanging out with a bunch of brats in Yipinju since he was thirteen or fourteen years old! I wonder what kind of person he has become in the past few years! How can you be interested in such a fool!"

Ye Wanqing patiently explained: "Dad, the prince told me about this matter before. Although he often goes in and out of Yipinju, he only plays with friends. He...has not touched those singing girls yet."

"If he says no, then there is no." Ye Hongwei was very disappointed: "The most untrustworthy thing in this world is a man's mouth!"

Chu Yanrong stopped drinking her soup and asked, "Can't you trust a man?"

Ye Hongwei was stunned: "Don't look at me like that. What I said to you is completely trustworthy."

Chu Yanrong smiled and said, "That's better."

Ye Hongwei coughed dryly.

Chu Yanrong gently stirred the sweet soup in the bowl with a silver spoon and said slowly, "I have already found out everything about An Lan. He did not lie to Qing'er, he really has never touched the singing girl. Jing Qiu also said that after An Lan turned fifteen, someone stuffed several beautiful maids into his room, but without exception, he kicked them all out."

"What about Yipinju?" Ye Hongwei sneered, "He has booked a private room in Yipinju!"
