Chapter 603: Extremely Smart
Prince Yi was naturally received warmly in Yuan's mansion.
Zhou Chang coped with it reluctantly, and after dinner, he sent Yuan Yun away to talk to her mother, while she asked to discuss important matters with Yuan Chuan.
Zhou Chang followed what Zhong Yu said and tested Yuan Chuan first.
However, the older you are, the wiser it gets. Yuan Chuan was able to keep his composure and speak without making any mistakes.
Zhou Chang had no choice but to reveal his purpose.
Yuan Chuan just smiled knowingly.
After all, since Prince Yi married Yuan Yun, Prince Yi has never taken the initiative to visit her, so this time he must have come for no reason.
Zhou Chang did not hide it, but he only told the part that Prince Xian "privately made weapons and intended to rebel", and asked Yuan Chuan to find a way to secretly report the witnesses and location to the Emperor.
Yuan Chuan gave a guarantee immediately.
Zhou Chang wanted to flatter Yuan Chuan, and he agreed. She wanted to distance herself from him: "Sir Yuan, no matter what, after this is accomplished, you will definitely have done a great deed, and His Majesty will definitely not forget you."
Yuan Chuan just spoke in an official language, and said with a dignified and upright tone: "Your Highness, rest assured. All the people of Dalin should stand up and expose such treasonous acts without hesitation."
Zhou Chang could not say any more flattering words, and bowed: "Mr. Yuan is of high moral character, which is admirable."
Finally, they discussed the details of the transfer and how to send the person into the palace and present him to His Majesty.
In this regard, Yuan Chuan spoke very clearly and Zhou Chang could only listen.
Then, Zhou Chang said goodbye and got on a carriage with Yuan Yun to return to Prince Yi's Mansion.
Yuan Yun sat in the carriage and asked, "What did your Highness say to father just now?"
"This is adult business, don't meddle in it as a kid." It's been nearly two years since they got married, and Yuan Yun has grown two years older. But in Zhou Chang's eyes, Yuan Yun is still as thin as a stick, and she feels like an underdeveloped little girl.
Yuan Yun's arrogant personality has never changed: "Even if Your Highness doesn't say it, I know that Your Highness must have asked my father for something, and my father must have agreed. I don't care about these things, I just want to ask Your Highness, if there is such a day, will I be the queen?"
Although it is winter, this year's winter is not cold.
But Yuan Yun's words made Zhou Chang feel a chill down his spine and his hair stood on end.
We really can no longer simply treat Yuan Yun as a little girl. She pretends to be ignorant on the surface, but I'm afraid she knows everything in private, otherwise how could she have guessed everything right.
Just now in Yuan Chuan's study, Yuan Chuan readily agreed, but did not talk about the conditions at all. It turned out that the conditions were waiting here.
Yuan Yun was really smart and insightful, with a look that saw through everything: "Your Highness, don't doubt it. I guessed it. Your Highness has been ignoring me for two years, but now he is willing to accompany me back to my parents' home. What else could it be but a request? Besides, this matter must be very important, so Your Highness would use my father, and of course my father has no reason to refuse."
"You..." Zhou Chang wanted to ask how he guessed what the request was related to, but he felt that it would make him look too stupid, so he kept silent.
Yuan Yun was even more proud: "Your Highness is a man who is committed to great things. I cannot interfere. My father always said that Your Highness is a man who values love and friendship. If there comes a day like that, he will definitely not abandon me. As long as I wait patiently, everything will work out."
Zhou Chang suspected that Yuan Chuan had deliberately asked his daughter to say these words to Prince Yi.
Yuan Yun still had an innocent look on her face: "Your Majesty has not yet answered my question."
"What's the problem?" Zhou Chang was confused.
Yuan Yun patiently repeated, "If the prince becomes successful one day, can I also fulfill my wish?"
"Did your father ask you to ask this?" Zhou Chang avoided this question several times. It was not that she could not answer it, but Prince Yi was unwilling to do so.
But from a moral standpoint, what reason did Prince Yi have to abandon Yuan Yun?
As the saying goes, "A wife of poverty should not be forgotten, and a wife who has shared the hardships of life should not be divorced." Although Yuan Yun is not from a poor family, let alone that she has sought help from the Yuan family this time, even if the Yuan family does nothing, if such a day really comes, there is no reason for them to abandon Yuan Yun.
Yuan Yun pouted and shook her head: "No, I asked it myself. Your Highness is so cold to me, shouldn't I ask it?"
"This..." Zhou Chang was speechless again.
Yuan Yun, ah, Yuan Yun, you are becoming more and more confusing.
But one day, even if it is not Yuan Yun, Prince Yi will still have to be assigned someone else.
As long as this person is not Yuan Qi, what difference does it make who he is?
As the car moved forward, the flickering light shone on Yuan Yun's pretty and bright face. Zhou Chang suddenly had a feeling of resignation. The person in front of him would definitely not share hardships with him, but would definitely share wealth with him.
Thinking of this, Zhou Chang felt bitter in his heart, but he still reluctantly agreed: "If you don't do something that will dig your own grave, what reason do I have to get rid of you?"
Yuan Yun got a satisfactory answer, so she didn't care about Zhou Chang's emotions and just smiled sweetly to herself.
After a while, she suddenly turned her head with some shyness and said, "Your Highness, you always say that I am a little girl. If Your Highness likes someone older, I... I don't mind, I can arrange it for Your Highness..."
“???” Zhou Chang almost thought he had misunderstood.
Yuan Yun lowered her voice again: "As long as the prince likes, you can take two older concubines now. Mother said that it doesn't matter. Some men just like mature ones. It won't be too late to wait until I grow a few years older. Anyway..."
"You told your mother such a thing?" Zhou Chang's head was buzzing, and she began to feel that there was something wrong with the way Mrs. Yuan looked at her just now.
"If I don't tell my mother, who can I tell?" Yuan Yun disagreed, even more aggrieved, "Your Highness has ignored me for two years, and my mother has always hoped that I could get pregnant. What do you want me to say?"
"Uh..." Zhou Chang was indeed speechless. It was all the "bitter fruit" he had sown.
In the past, whenever he quarreled with Yuan Yun, he always used the excuse that she was still a child. Now that the child has gone home and told the truth, people mistakenly believe that Prince Yi has some special hobby.
But at this critical juncture, we really can't afford to ruin the relationship because of such things.
He could only coax Yuan Yun: "Forget it, it doesn't matter what you mother and daughter say, but don't think wrongly. I will be leaving for Yuebei soon. You just stay in the mansion and be good. If you feel bored and want to go home, just go home and live. Just don't cause any trouble."
"Your Highness is going to northern Vietnam again, so we shouldn't create any complications." Yuan Yun pouted, as if she had agreed.
Zhou Chang knew what was behind these words, but he pretended to be confused and pretended he didn't hear anything.
