After enjoying the breakfast provided at the dining table, Yu Fengyao told the waiter to clean the dining table and ask for tea to be served. He enjoyed the tea his Imperial brother had given him from the royal tribute. This tea can be enjoyed by his Imperial brother only. But, because the Emperor knew he liked good tea, Yu Fengyan gave him a lot of tea.
"Wangye, you must leave for the Palace immediately for the morning court, or you will be late."
Seeing that Wangye looked so relaxed when he had to go to morning court, Butler Chen was forced to remind the prince. Although he was pleased to see that Wangye was deliberately lingering at Wangfei's residence, Butler Chen could not let Wangye get bad reviews from the ministers. Wangye recently returned to the Capital city, he must maintain his good name.
"Yes, this Wangye knows."
Yu Fengyao got up and intended to go to work to attend the morning court. But, before he walked some distance, Su Qingyi called him back. Turning and staring at his wife, Yu Fengyao waited for his wife who looked more attractive than before to speak.
"Wangye, can this Wangfei ask permission to go out of Wangfu?"
"What for?"
"This Wangfei wants to see the shops this wife brought as a dowry."
Yu Fengyao knew that Su Qingyi had several shops with large income for her dowry when he married her. But, as far as Yu Wang knew, the profits from the shops must have been in the pockets of the greedy people in the Su family.
The shops owned by Su Qingyi are part of very large income stores. The Su family would not want to give up the profits from the shops back to Su Qingyi. They will surely give many problems to his wife later. Yu Fengyao must provide some guards to follow his wife.
"Alright, this Wangye gave you permission to check the shops, but Wangfei must bring the bodyguards this prince gave you for some protection."
Su Qingyi smiled sweetly at him because she heard that he had several guards to protect her. Su Qingyi was suspicious that Wangye was worried about her safety.
This young lady was also a bit worried at the thought of taking over her mother's shops which had now become her dowry. She knew how many greedy people in the Su family were. They have been taking overall profits from the shops since her mother died. There was never a penny of money distributed to her from the profits of the shops. Su Qingyi could guess where the profits of the shops had flowed.
With help from her husband; Yu Wang, Su Qingyi has strong support from her husband who is one of the men who has power over the Su family. They will be more easily intimidated using their husband's name later. Thinking about that possibility made Su Qingyi feel happy.
"This Wangfei is grateful for Wangye's care."
After saying all that and having Butler Chen prepare several bodyguards with sufficiently high martial arts abilities for his wife, Yu Fengyao went to attend the morning court at the Palace.
"Wangfei, are you serious about taking over the profits of your mother's heritage stores? It's been so long the Su's family taken all the profits."
Nanny Mo looked worried thinking about the actions that her young mistress would get if she intended to take over the profits that had been taken by the Su family members. They all certainly would not accept that Wangfei took over all the profits from the shops. Nanny Mo knew that the profits from the shops were used by the Su family to support their luxurious lifestyle after the death of Wangfei's mother.
"Nanny Mo, you know that they've been using the profits of mom's heritage stores for their lavish lifestyle while this Wangfei, who is the heir of all those shops, leads a miserable life. It's time for them to return all of Wangfei's inheritance."
"But, Wangfei the Su family will refuse to give away your inheritance."
"Nanny Mo, don't forget that now Wangfei is the wife of Yu Wang."
Butler Chen could not bear to participate in the conversation between Wangfei and the old maid when he met Wangfei together with a group of bodyguards directly elected by Wangye to accompany his wife at any time. This bodyguard group was part of Wangye's elite bodyguards and he gave ten of his people to his wife.
"Butler Chen, when did you get here? This Wangfei thought you would come a little later after sending off Wangye."
"Yes, Wangfei. This old eunuch had just escorted Wangye away from the gate. Wangye told this old eunuch to immediately send a group of personal guards chosen directly by Wangye to Wangfei."
"Oh, very fast. This Wangfei didn't expect that Wangye would give some bodyguards from his elite bodyguards' entourage to me. This lady feels honoured."
"Of course Wangye is willing to send them to Wangfei. After all, Wangfei is Yu Wang's only legitimate wife. Wangfei's safety is very important to Wangye."
"In that case, this Wangfei can go out now with them."
"Of course, Wangfei. This old eunuch has prepared Wangfu's horse-drawn carriage to be used by Wangfei on your way."
Su Qingyi brought her maids to accompany them. Together with a group of guards, the maids, Su Qingyi, were escorted by Butler Chen to the main gate of Wangfu. In front of the gate, a horse carriage made of luxury wood and has the symbol of Yu Wangfu which is a sword and shield in a blazing fire parked there. The driver sat in the front of the horse-drawn carriage, two dark brown horses pulled the luxurious cart.
"Wangfei, this horse-drawn carriage was sent this morning by the Emperor as a wedding gift for Wangfei. Wangfei can use it for your carriage."
"This horse-drawn carriage seems expensive."
"Of course, this horse-drawn carriage is sent directly by the Emperor. You don't need to worry, Wangye received this horse-drawn carriage so you could use it to travel."
Our leads gets better interaction now, maybe I can make the romance getting better later hehehe... The Emperor is so nice giving the expensive wedding gift, I also want it..
