After traveling through time, I married the prince by signing in

Chapter 257 A strange combination of circumstances

Yuan Man sighed secretly. After all, he had been away for too long, and the relationship between father and daughter was not as strong as it had been since childhood. He kept his thoughts to himself and dared not speak them out.

"Yaoyao, that's your father. If you don't tell him what's on your mind, who else can you tell?"

"Your father is always thinking about you. His goal is just to make you happy and healthy for the rest of your life. Do you understand?"

Yaoyao nodded, "Then I'll go back and talk to Dad?"

"Go ahead, otherwise your father will have to go back tomorrow." Yuan Man waved his hand and let her go.

Yaoyao left and the eldest princess came again.

Yuanman blinked and went to the reception room.

"Aunt, didn't the prince say last time that if there's anything, we can just go over there. Why bother you to make this trip?"

The princess smiled and said, "I came here to ask for something."

Yuan Man sat down next to her and said, "Hey, we are all family, there is no need to ask for help. If Aunt needs any help, just let us know."

The princess held her hand and said, "Yu Si has taken a fancy to a girl. After asking around, I found out that she is your niece, so I wanted to ask you if your niece has a marriage arranged?"

Yuan Man was surprised, "Yu Si has taken a fancy to Yao Yao?"

"Yaoyao, yes, it's this girl." The eldest princess said with a smile.

Yuan Man thought for a moment and said, "Aunt, to be honest with you, although Yaoyao is not engaged yet, she is currently discussing a marriage."

"She had just returned from my place when you came and just missed her."

"Is there any marriage being discussed?" The eldest princess looked disappointed.

"Do you know which young master the other party is?"

Yuan Man paused and said, "Yuan Er, my family's secret guard."

"Yaoyao was traveling alone in Kyoto. I was worried about her being alone, so I sent a secret guard to protect her. But I didn't expect that she would fall in love with this secret guard."

The princess looked at her in surprise, "Does Marquis Leshan agree to this?"

Yuan Man smiled and said, "Brother is considering it, and it is not easy for me to interfere. After all, one of them is my niece, and the other is a secret guard who is as loyal to me as a family member."

"Aunt, why did Yu Si suddenly fall in love with Yaoyao? When did they meet?"

The princess sighed and said, "It was the same time when he came to talk about Yu Si. He saw Miss Yao and thought about it for a long time before he realized that he had fallen in love with her."

"Alas, I can only say that it is not meant to be."

Yuan Man said apologetically, "Aunt, this is really a mistake."

The princess shook her head and said, "It's not your fault. It's the child's slow reaction that can be blamed."

The princess spoke for a while and then left.

"Your Highness, this was sent by Yuan Yue." Yuan Shi walked in holding three boxes.

Yuanman motioned for him to open it and take a look.

When he saw what was inside, Yuan Man immediately stood up and said, "It's really beautiful."

Although it is colorless glass, you can see it flashing with colorful light under the sunlight.

There are two colored glaze bottles, of different styles. One is a very simple mouthed bottle, and the other is a slightly more complicated pot bottle with a slight blue tint.

After looking at it for a while, Yuan Man put the glass bottle back into the box and said, "Send this to Fu Zhuoyin Wu Se. The price is five hundred taels."

"Yes." Yuan Shi closed the lid.

The other one, Yuan Man, was sent to the palace.

Then he put away the map of Yun Kingdom.

The veins on the emperor's forehead tensed up when he heard Hui Chengyuan's words. "Do you have any evidence?"

Hui Chengyuan said: "If we go to Zhou's house now, we can get evidence."

"Not only does she call herself Mrs. Zhou, she also has an affair with Zhou Yanlin."

"In the Zhou residence, there are only a few people who know that she is Concubine Zhou. She can be convicted by simply asking the Zhou family servants."

"This matter cannot be spread out, so I want to personally bring people over to handle it in secret."

"However, Father must think of a charge against the Zhou family."

The emperor supported his forehead and said, "The Zhou family is a new noble family that rose to prominence due to the favor of Concubine Zhou. There is no need to worry about them. You can do whatever you want."

"Remember, this matter cannot be leaked at all. It will damage the reputation of the royal family."

"Yes, I'll do it right away." Hui Chengyuan bowed and walked out.

He walked up to Fu Zhuoyang who was on duty and said, "Master Fu, please bring a thousand imperial guards with me to accompany this prince."

"Remember, choose someone who keeps a tight mouth."

Fu Zhuoyang glanced at the Taiji Palace, ordered a thousand imperial guards to follow Hui Chengyuan out of the palace.

Seeing that they were almost at Zhou's house, Hui Chengyuan said, "Master Fu, after arriving at Zhou's house, your mission is to surround Zhou's house. You are only allowed to enter but not leave."

"Also, no matter what you hear, tell your subordinates to keep it secret."

Fu Zhuoyang was startled. "Yes, I obey your command."

"Master, it's bad, our house is surrounded by the imperial guards." The Zhou family's housekeeper ran to the backyard in horror.

Zhou Kangquan was shocked when he heard this and quickly jumped out of bed.

"Imperial Guards, why did the Imperial Guards surround the Zhou family?"

Concubine Zhou on the bed frowned, "Someone, hurry up and help me dress up, let's go out through the secret passage."

As soon as Zhou Kangquan put on his clothes and walked out of the room, he saw Hui Chengyuan walking towards him quickly.

"Your humble servant greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I wonder what important matter His Royal Highness has come to the Zhou Mansion for?"

"Search, so the Zhou family members are gathered in the front yard, no one can be missing."

Concubine Zhou walked all the way out from the secret passage, but when she reached the end, she found that the road was blocked.

This secret passage is very hidden and no one has discovered it for all these years. How could it be blocked?

"Princess Dowager, what should we do now?" the maid who followed her asked anxiously.

Concubine Zhou thought about it calmly and said, "Let's go out."

"When I left the palace, I only said that I would not return to the palace, but I did not say that I would not visit my parents' home."

So Concubine Zhou came out of the secret passage again, redressed her makeup, and walked towards the front yard.

Hui Chengyuan saw her coming from afar, so he pulled over a servant and asked, "Who is that?"

The servant looked at Concubine Zhou, lowered his head and said, "That's Madam."

"Madam? Madam Zhou, Zhou Kangquan's second wife?" Hui Chengyuan instructed his guards to cover the mouths of Zhou Kangquan and several other members of the Zhou family's direct lineage.

The servant was confused and nodded, "Yes, everyone in the mansion knows it, I didn't lie."

Hui Chengyuan asked another maid to speak.

After asking one by one, they all said that Concubine Zhou was the second wife of the Zhou family.

Zhou Kangquan's back was soaked, and when he saw Concubine Zhou coming over, he glared at her wildly.

Concubine Zhou frowned slightly when she saw this. What did that look mean?

"What are you doing, Prince? Even if they have made mistakes, there is no need to cover their mouths and noses to prevent them from speaking, right?"

Hui Chengyuan glanced at her and said loudly, "Come here, take all irrelevant people away."

Fu Zhuoyang waved his hand, and the imperial guards took all the servants and maids of the Zhou family away. The imperial guards who were originally searching for people also withdrew, leaving only Fu Zhuoyang standing by.

Hui Chengyuan looked around and then looked at Concubine Zhou, "Madam Zhou, Concubine Zhou really knows how to have fun."

Those who didn't know Concubine Zhou's true identity looked at her in astonishment, and then looked at Zhou Kangquan.

Everyone in the Zhou Mansion knew that Concubine Zhou was Zhou Kangquan’s cousin.

The head of the Zhou family actually married his cousin!
