After being replaced, she changed from a miserable daughter-in-law to a lucky wife

Chapter 264 Wu Hanyu

Xia Wanniang lifted the curtain of the car and looked outside. She could already see the lake of Luocheng, with many flower boats on it.

When they arrived at the dock, Shopkeeper Hong was standing on the shore holding an umbrella waiting for them.

Xiao Chiye nodded at him, picked up Xia Wanniang horizontally and walked towards the flower boat.

Xu Li's mouth twitched: What's the point of your cloak?

Xia Wanniang put one arm around his neck and held an umbrella over their heads with the other hand: "Is my cloak worn in vain?"

Xiao Chiye stepped onto the boat with big strides: "There is no rule that prohibits bringing female relatives to cruise on the flower boat."

Xia Wanniang chuckled and said nothing more.

Qingfeng and Xu Ye, who were following behind the two of them, took a mouthful of food and considered the probability that the couple would be kicked down.

Shopkeeper Hong watched the four people get on the flower boat, took away Banzi and Yifeng and got on a carriage.

The flower boat sailed away from the shore and headed towards the middle of the lake.

As soon as Xiao Chiye got on the boat, he let Xia Wanniang down and let her stand on the deck.

A man in shorts walked up to the four people and said, "The master has prepared the wine and food, please come in!"

Xiao Chiye reached out and held Xia Wanniang's hand, then walked into the cabin.

Qingfeng nodded at the man and quickly followed Xu Li.

The flower boat was decorated luxuriously, with gauze, red candles, and a scent of incense.

Xia Wanniang looked at the man sitting in the middle of the cabin. He was two years younger than Xiao Chiye, with sickly pale skin and handsome features.

The corners of his lips curled up, he stood up and looked at Xiao Chiye: "Chiye, long time no see."

Xiao Chiye raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "It seems that your body is still the same as before."

Wu Hanyu coughed a few times and said, "It's impossible to get better from this disease that I was born with."

Xia Wanniang looked at Wu Hanyu curiously. He didn't have the airs of a royal family member. Instead, he looked like a younger brother who needed protection.

Wu Hanyu noticed her scrutiny and asked, "Is this your wife?"

Xia Wanniang bowed to him and said, "I, Xia Wanniang, greet the Eleventh Prince."

Wu Hanyu hurriedly gave her a fake hand and said, "Sister-in-law, there's no need to be so polite. Today we are just old friends reuniting. There is no distinction between the ruler and the subject."

After everyone sat down, no one spoke first.

Xia Wanniang glanced at Xiao Chiye.

Xiao Chiye knew she was about to speak, and nodded towards her.

Xia Wanniang smiled and said, "Since there is no ruler or subject today, I just want to ask, what does Hanyu want?"

Everyone's eyes first looked at her, then turned to Wu Hanyu.

Wu Hanyu lowered his head and said nothing, as if he was lost in his memories.

He was the least favored prince in the palace. If it weren't for that person who often took care of him, he might have died in that deep palace long ago.

He asked the man this question, and he still remembered that he was full of energy and a smile on his face: I want the people to have enough food and clothing, and I don’t want there to be any more war.

He wanted to see the prosperity of Daxia, the people living and working in peace, the country being peaceful and the people being content, the seas being calm and the rivers being clear…

It's just that person is no longer here.

Xia Wanniang was not in a hurry, but just waited quietly.

When Wu Hanyu raised his head, an unprecedented desire appeared on his face: "Peaceful seas and clear rivers, peaceful country and people's well-being, a peaceful and prosperous era, where people can live and work in peace and contentment... Is this enough?"

Xia Wanniang raised her eyebrows and looked at him: "This is not what you want."

Wu Hanyu smiled and nodded: "Yes, this is not what I want, but it is what he wants. He raised me and he wants to see it. I want to do it for him. I also want to see if what he longs for is really worth it."

Xia Wanniang tapped the table with her fingers, again and again, without any rhythm.

No one else said anything because they knew that Xia Wanniang's next words would change the fate of many of them.

They were shocked by the feeling, but no one showed it.

Xiao Chiye just drank his tea quietly, as if all this had nothing to do with him.

Xia Wanniang stopped moving her fingers and looked at Wu Hanyu: "I have a few conditions."

Wu Hanyu looked at the three people who were oblivious to what was happening outside, and even didn't know why the conversation was led by this beautiful... village woman.

But he finally spoke: "You say."
