Chapter 450 World 810
After visiting the house, Uncle Wen, who had gone to see Sun Dahu, also returned.
Seeing that Yinyin was still there, he hesitated, unsure whether he should speak.
Fu Yuanzhou quickly said, "Uncle, Yinyin is my future wife. There's nothing she can't know."
Uncle Wen understood what he meant and didn't delay: "The reason Sun Dahu fell into the river was not because of the bandit suppression, but because he had evidence that someone had framed General Li, and he was killed on his way to find General Li."
"He wasn't in a hurry before because he had hidden the evidence well and was convinced that no one but him could find it. Now he's getting anxious..."
Uncle Wen didn't continue, and the two understood.
General Li has been arrested and escorted to the capital. Sun Dahu is afraid that the emperor will believe the slander, so he must hurry up and deliver the evidence to a reliable person to clear General Li's name.
Now that he himself has not fully recovered from his injuries and is not capable of doing so, he can only place his hopes on the Li Kingdom, which has just established friendly relations with the Ming Kingdom, and believe in the King of Yangliao who saved him.
Uncle Wen asked, "Should we help him with this?"
Helping, of course, means helping Sun Dahu deliver the message. Not helping is also simple. Since only our own people know Sun Dahu is here, we can just send him back to where he came from and permanently silence him.
Uncle Wen's inclination was naturally to avoid trouble.
After all, before the two countries established diplomatic relations, General Li had led his men in many battles against the Le State army. Now that the two countries have just established diplomatic relations, Le State is quite happy to see the other side directly eliminate one of their generals.
Fu Yuanzhou was different. He believed that since diplomatic relations had been established, they should help with this matter. If Sun Dahu hadn't been saved, they would have known nothing, but Sun Dahu was still alive.
There are no secrets in the world; everything you do leaves a trace. Not helping is riskier than helping.
The two stood on opposite sides, and finally looked at Yin Yin together.
“Of course I’ll help,” Yin Yin said, “but I have to help in the right way.”
Fu Yuanzhou asked, "Yinyin, what do you think we should do to help?"
Yin Yin spoke calmly: "If it were our people, even if we took the evidence to the officials of the Republic of China, they certainly wouldn't believe it. It might even further confirm that General Li was colluding with our Li Kingdom."
“Anyway, Sun Dahu just can’t travel far on his own right now, but that doesn’t mean we can’t send him to the border.”
“He was covered in wounds and wandered to Yangliao where we rescued him. We kindly sent him back and entrusted him to someone he trusted.”
"Those so-called evidences were collected by people he trusted, and whether or not they were sent to the capital was their own business."
"Whether it succeeds or fails, it's not our fault."
As soon as Yin Yin finished speaking, Fu Yuanzhou chimed in, "Yin Yin's idea is great. We've helped, and we won't be taken advantage of or resented."
"Uncle, shall we do as Yinyin says?"
Uncle Wen had no other opinion to express at this point except to agree, since doing it this way would certainly not implicate Fu Yuanzhou.
With the rules set, the matter still had to be handled by Uncle Wen.
First, the carriage must be ordinary; it cannot be a carriage of the Prince's Palace. Secondly, the people accompanying the carriage should not be guards from the Prince's Palace.
Uncle Wen carefully considered his actions before going to handle the matter, and even his cough subsided somewhat.
Fu Yuanzhou, reluctant to part with Yin Yin, personally escorted her home.
With Sun Dahu's matter settled, Yinyin won't be staying in the city for long before she returns to the village.
"Yinyin, when are you leaving? I'll come to see you off."
“Dad has been wanting to go home for a while now, and he’ll probably leave tomorrow morning,” Yin Yin said. “It’s not like he’s going on a long trip, so there’s no need for you to see him off.”
“No, I have to send it,” Fu Yuanzhou insisted. “I will write to you again after you get back.”
Yinyin thought about the distance between Yangliao and her home; her home wasn't far either.
Putting aside these distracting thoughts, Yin Yin coaxed him, "Okay, then I'll write you a reply too."
Fu Yuanzhou watched Yin Yin get out of the car and go home, then sighed and returned to his residence.
The next morning, the two bid each other another reluctant farewell, which made Chu's father's teeth ache.
On the carriage ride back, Chu's father glanced at his daughter and said earnestly, "Yinyin, the prince treats you well now, but you must remember not to trust him completely. He is, after all, a man. I know better than you what a man is like."
“Father, I know everything,” Yin Yin had regained her usual composure in front of her father. “Look at me, do I look like the way you’re worried?”
After a moment of silence, Chu's father said, "You are my daughter, there's nothing to worry about."
Yinyin felt a surge of tenderness in her heart and leaned on her father's shoulder, saying sweetly, "With Daddy here, I'm not afraid of anything."
Her father was so touched by her words that he couldn't help but stroke her hair.
While the father and daughter were enjoying a pleasant time, Fu Yuanzhou, back in the Prince's Mansion, sat listlessly in his room.
Uncle Wen was worried that he was not feeling well, so he came over to check on him and said, "Your Highness, what's wrong? Have you caught a cold?"
“I’m fine,” Fu Yuanzhou asked him, “Uncle, do you think I can go home with Yinyin after we get married?”
Uncle Wen's lips twitched. He was quite regretful at that moment. He had come to see me for no reason, and he had asked me that question for no reason.
“Yes, yes, yes,” Uncle Wen said impatiently. “Anyway, it’s in Yangliao. What difference does it make whether you stay in the Prince’s Mansion or the Chu Family Fortress? It’s safer over there.”
Seeing his nephew's eager look, Uncle Wen teased, "Didn't Master Chu originally want to find a husband for his daughter? I think you're about ready now. Otherwise, you don't need to get married at all. Just come to his door, and maybe Master Chu will let you in right now."
Fu Yuanzhou suddenly looked up: "Uncle, you're smarter than me. I'll go and talk to him tomorrow."
Uncle Wen's pupils dilated instantly, and he wished he could slap himself twice.
Why bother talking to him?
"Your Highness, please calm down! If the people in the capital find out, it won't be good for you!"
“Uncle, don’t worry about that,” Fu Yuanzhou stood up, completely unconcerned about the reaction in the capital. “Father won’t care about such a trivial matter. My brothers are more than happy to have me become their son-in-law!”
Uncle Wen felt that he had never thought so fast in his entire life: "Didn't you disagree before? How can you suddenly say you're willing to come over?"
"If you go to Master Chu like this, he might think you're messing with him."
"If you really want to, why don't you stay at Miss Chu's parents' home more often? It'll just be a matter of not having a proper title, and the people in the capital won't have any bad impressions of Miss Chu."
Fu Yuanzhou was barely calmed down by him, but as soon as Uncle Wen left, he turned around and went back to his study to write a letter.
I can write a letter to Yin Yin to express my longing for her, that should work!
As for Yin Yin's expression when she received his letter shortly after arriving home.
He firmly believed that he would be happy!
