“No wonder you kept it a secret.” Xue Erfu nodded again. “I’m sure the rest will give up everything here because of their worry about you. They would want to accompany you to the Imperial Capital and not let you stay here.”
Xue Yan was very touched when he heard Erfu’s words.
In his previous life, Erfu had found it difficult to adapt to life in the Imperial Capital at first. Even after he adapted, he missed his relatives and friends here.
In his previous life, he had brought his family to the Imperial Capital to live a good life as soon as he became an official and no longer had to face poverty. At that time, his family was very willing and felt very honored. Later on, although they still felt very honored, his parents especially missed the people here and felt very lonely in the Imperial Capital. No matter how many people served them and how good their lives were, they never felt like they belonged, especially his parents.
His eldest brother and sister-in-law had only stayed in the Imperial Capital for a month and did not like to go out much. They stayed at home and did whatever they wanted. They felt more relaxed and at ease, but once they went out, it was like they were being judged left and right.
His parents liked to visit many people here. They did not like to stay at home at all. There were many people they could talk to and had common topics to talk about. However, when they went there, they didn’t go out much. Other than his family, he had almost no common topics with outsiders…
How could he let his parents live like that?
Before Xue Erfu had even driven the carriage to the entrance of Quanping Inn, someone from Quanping Inn came up to receive him with utmost respect. Xue Erfu’s carriage still had to be rushed back in case there weren’t enough carriages at home. Therefore, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan both got off the carriage quickly. They also moved the things from the carriage and placed them into the carriage prepared by Quanping Inn.

“Be careful, the both of you.” Originally, Xue Erfu was quite at ease. Xue Yan and Jiang Yue were so independent, and they had the people from Quanping Inn to send them off. He didn’t need to worry about anything. However, now that he knew that Xue Yan was the Crown Prince, he was a little worried and could not help but remind them to stay safe.
“Yes.” Jiang Yue and Xue Yan both agreed.
It was only when he saw Jiang Yue and Xue Yan get into the carriage prepared by Quanping Inn and disappear that Xue Erfu drove the carriage home.
When he returned home, he saw his father, Xue Dafu, chopping firewood in the courtyard. The Emperor was dressed in luxurious clothes and was looking on eagerly.
The Emperor couldn’t help but ask Xue Dafu to try to hack it for him.
“Here.” Xue Dafu was also straightforward and immediately gave the ax to Emperor Hao.
Emperor Hao also imitated Xue Dafu’s earlier actions. He rolled up his sleeves and placed half of the thick firewood on the wooden stake. Then, the ax was aimed at the firewood. He felt that it was not accurate enough, so he stood a little to the left. He still felt that it was not accurate enough, so he moved a little to the right. Then, with a thud sound, the ax went down, but the firewood did not split into two. The ax was still in the firewood and could not be pulled out no matter what.
Xue Dafu burst into laughter.
Emperor Hao also laughed. It wasn’t that he didn’t have enough strength. It was mainly because he had never done this kind of work before. His movements were very clumsy and he wasn’t familiar with it at all, which limited his performance.
Xue Erfu couldn’t help but rub the back of his neck. He then looked at his
father’s neck. They both still had their heads intact to their bodies.
Immediately after, Xue Erfu was cheerful again. He went back to doing what he was supposed to do, allowing the Emperor to laugh as he fought with the firewood..
