Xiao Yeyang took over the monitoring of Duke Wei's mansion from Sun Changze.
However, perhaps because the Duke of Wei knew that someone was watching them, he acted extraordinarily calmly and low-key when going out. The secret guards who were secretly watching did not find anything strange, and they did not find the few Xiliao people.
Seeing this, Xiao Yeyang had to temporarily send someone to keep an eye on him.
Sun Changze couldn't bear that his cousin and several of his men died in a foreign country, so he and Dong Yuanyao returned home holding the coffins of several people.
Daohua and Xiao Yeyang sent the two of them away. Before leaving, Xiao Yeyang told the two of them that as soon as there are any clues about the affairs of Duke Wei, he will send someone to tell you.
Entering February, the emperor announced the expansion of the naval army at the court meeting. As soon as this news came out, the slightly depressed court became agitated again due to Jiang Jinghui's death.
At this time, Yan Wenkai also informed the Yan family that he wanted to join the Nanyang Navy.
Mrs. Li looked uneasy and disapproving: "Son, I know you want to make a contribution, but the Japanese pirates have been making trouble over the coast in the past two years. It's too dangerous. Why don't you just stay in the capital?"
Yan Wenkai said with a smile: "It is precisely because the Japanese pirates are rampant that my son should go." Then he looked at Yan Zhigao and said, "Dad, my son wants to have a future, please ask his parents to help him."
Yan Zhigao was silent for a moment: "There are many people staring at the Navy now. Are you sure you can get in?"
Yan Wenkai smiled confidently: "Ye Yang took me to meet the Admiral before. The Admiral had a good impression of me. Moreover, Governor Wu also recommended me to the Admiral."
When Yan Zhigao heard that Xiao Yeyang had come to help, he knew that the matter was most likely settled: "On the battlefield, you have to pay more attention to your own safety."
Yan Wenkai knew that his father had no objection to him going to Nanyang, so he immediately smiled and nodded.
Seeing that her son had decided to leave, Mrs. Li couldn't help but look at her daughter-in-law, frowned and said, "You have just gotten married to Shiyu and are about to leave home. What should Shiyu do?"
Yan Wenkai blurted out: "Shiyu naturally followed his son."
Mrs. Li glared at her son: "The climate in the south is hot, why do you still want to bring your poems there to suffer?"
Hearing this, Su Shiyu said quickly: "Mom, my daughter-in-law also wants to accompany my husband. Although I can't help my husband with other things, I can still take care of his food, clothing, housing and transportation."
Mrs. Li: "Good child, mother knows that you are sensible." She said, squinting at Yan Wenkai, "I just feel sorry for you and want to be dragged along to suffer."
Su Shiyu lowered her head slightly, and replied with some embarrassment: "Mother, as long as I can be with my husband, my daughter-in-law will not feel that she is suffering."
Mrs. Li glanced at Yan Wenkai with a smile: "You are so careless and have good taste. You have married such a good wife." After saying that, she paused and said, "When are you leaving?"
Yan Wenkai smiled and said: "The quota has not been decided yet, I guess it will be mid-month or end of the month."
Mrs. Li nodded and looked at Su Shiyu: "It's better to pack up the gifts first, so as not to be in a hurry later."
Su Shiyu nodded: "Yes, mother."

Because Xiao Yeyang was better informed, Daohua knew the list of people going to the Nanyang Navy before her family.
"Wen Kai has been promoted a little. He went to Guangdong Province and directly served as a fourth-grade guerrilla general. Although he was promoted to an official position, the burden on his shoulders is not light. He may have to fight Japanese pirates as soon as he passes."
Daohua looked worried: "Fourth brother has never led an army, can he do it?"
Xiao Yeyang glanced at Daohua with a smile: "Don't underestimate your fourth brother. When we were fighting against the Tatars, he often led the soldiers to charge into battle. The commander-in-chief of Xia Teng's army even said that your fourth brother is good at leading troops in war. Several times he opened his mouth to ask for help from me."
Seeing that Daohua¡¯s face was still worried, she continued.
"Don't worry, your fourth brother is slipping. After hearing the news about the expansion of the navy from me, he himself has been busy. He also knows his shortcomings of impulsiveness and impatience. He shamelessly pulled Wu Dingbai and paid three visits to the thatched cottage on the fifth floor. The Military Governor's Mansion has found a powerful master for himself."
Daohua felt a lot more relieved after hearing this, especially when she thought that the second master of the Zhou family was also an official in Guangdong Province, and the fourth brother would be able to take care of him if anything happened when he went there, so he slowly let go of his worries.
In mid-February, the Nanyang Navy¡¯s expansion list was announced.
Seeing the list, naturally some people are happy and some are sad.
Four Seasons Villa.
 : "Mom, up to now, you are still helping her? Have you ever thought about my situation? I took my sister to a banquet, and my sister-in-law was exposed to the scandal of having a tryst with her husband."
"That's not all. My husband is my cousin, and the accident occurred in my sister's house. What do you think my husband's family will think of me? Do you still want me to live a good life in my husband's family?"
Mrs. Han was left speechless by the question.
Han Xinman looked unconcerned: "Second sister, please stop yelling at your mother here. A slap in the face can't make a difference. If the fourth girl of the Yan family doesn't want to, how can she fall into her cousin's arms? "
Han Xinran slowly calmed down and looked at Han Xinman with an indifferent expression: "Did you arrange what happened last night?"
Han Xinman quickly retorted: "I don't have that much ability to make Miss Yan Si listen to me. In the end, she fell in love with her cousin and wanted to seduce him."
Han Xinran: "Perhaps you were not the instigator of the fourth sister and second cousin matter, but you must have been behind it. I just want to ask you, why? Just because you are jealous that my life in my husband's family is better than yours. How are you doing?"
Han Xinman opened her mouth to refute, but Han Xinran didn't give her a chance: "You are jealous of me. It's not enough to stir up trouble in front of my grandmother and mother, but you also involve your uncle's family."
"Don't you know how much my uncle cherishes his reputation? You want to plot against your second cousin like this!"
Han Xinman stood up suddenly and said, "I told you, this matter has nothing to do with me. I'm also surprised that my cousin would go to the rockery and refuse Miss Yan's seduction."
"As for the two of them being seen later, it was too late for me to stop them. I could only ask my mother-in-law to use her authority to suppress this matter."
"Speaking of this, I'm still very angry. It's obviously your sister-in-law who doesn't know how to behave, but she made me embarrassed, and now you are the first to complain in front of my mother!"
Han Xinran looked at Han Xinman coldly, not even thinking of arguing with her.
She, as a sister, would always say high-sounding words that confuse right and wrong to defend herself whenever she did something wrong.
Mrs. Han noticed the coldness in her youngest daughter's eyes, and worried that the relationship between the sisters had been hurt, she quickly stepped forward to smooth things over: "Okay, what's the use of pursuing this now? Now let's talk about how to solve this matter?"
Han Xinran sneered: "How to solve it? Mother, how do you want to solve it? Can we solve this matter through private discussion? Do you really think that your daughter is in the Yan family, saying one is one and two is two?"
Han Xinman said: "How else can we solve the problem? The matter is already like this. For the sake of the reputation of the Yan family, I have to humiliate my cousin and let him marry Miss Yan Si."
Mrs. Han nodded, with a look of agreement: "This is the only way."
Han Xinran couldn't help but have a sarcastic look on her face, and said with a sneer: "If you look down on the daughter of the Yan family so much, why are you still plotting against her?"
After calming down, she also understood why her second cousin didn't reject Yile's overtures.
"My eldest uncle Qinggui is a noble man, and he has high prestige among scholars, but he doesn't have much power in his hands.
The second cousin is not the elder brother, cannot inherit the family business, nor is he a favored young son, so he has to find a capable family.
There was a daughter in the Yan family who married into the royal family, and her sons also became successful, so she fell into the eyes of her second cousin.
But, has he forgotten that the fourth sister is not the daughter of the eldest family?
¡°Moreover, recently, my father-in-law and husband-in-law have significantly reduced their contact with their second cousin. Can¡¯t he see that the Yan family doesn¡¯t want to marry him?
How helpful can a marriage calculated like this be?
Han Xinman naturally saw the second master Fang¡¯s plan, so she chose to help him.
Of course, she did not like her second sister's life being better than hers, especially since the second sister relied on her husband's power to make her lose face several times, and she was naturally unwilling to let it go if she could cause her some discomfort.
However, this time, the second sister, who was being suppressed by her everywhere, really shocked her.
¡°Perhaps it¡¯s because I¡¯ve met too many powerful people in the Yan family, but the angry aura just now was really a bit scary.
Thinking of this, Han Xinman felt unhappy again.
The Yan family is only a third-rank official family. Just because one of their daughters married into the Prince's Mansion, the family has become even more noble than the Earl's Mansion.
As far as she knew, even Yang Shoufu and Governor Wu had visited the Yan family during the Chinese New Year. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
