Chapter 552 Who says women are inferior to men
The reason why Zhou Chang "borrowed" money from the Viewpoint System in order to become King Yi was to help Yuan Qi. Of course, this help was also for the sake of repaying him.
"Okay... This can be considered as Qi'er's blessing in his previous life, to be able to meet His Royal Highness Prince Yi." After hearing Prince Yi's promise, Yuan Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief. The hand that he was holding on to Zhou Chang was shaking even more violently, but he raised his eyes to look at Yuan Qi again, "Jie'er is quite well-behaved, I believe he will listen to you in the future. As a father, I naturally hope that he can pursue a career in politics, so that you will have someone to rely on in the future..."
"Don't worry, Daddy. I will take good care of my brother." Yuan Qi's face was filled with tears, but it was unclear how he was crying.
Zhou Chang also understood Yuan Yu's meaning: "Don't worry, old man. As long as Yuan Jie is willing to make progress, he will pursue a career in politics in the future. Although I can't guarantee anything, I will definitely not let those people bully or suppress him. I believe that one day, Yuan Jie will be able to bring honor to the Yuan family."
Yuan Yu nodded with difficulty, and then he pulled himself together: "To be honest with you, Your Highness, Yuan Jie is still young, and I have entrusted most of the family business to Qi'er, and arranged for her to be in charge of the family business. The elders of the family have expressed their support for now, but who knows what will happen in the future? Although Qi'er is a girl, she is strong-willed and will not ask for help easily, let alone for herself..."
Yuan Qi finally couldn't help crying out loud: "Daddy, don't worry, don't say anything, I don't need to ask anyone, I can do it on my own, Daddy, just rest assured."
Yuan Yu was interrupted when he was excited, so he looked at his daughter and said, "Qi'er, please go out first. I have something to say to His Highness alone."
Yuan Qi seemed to have anticipated what Yuan Yu was going to say, and held Yuan Yu still: "Daddy, I've already said it, anything a man can do, I can do, and anything a man can't do, I can do too, isn't that enough? Why do we have to..."
"You, you go out first and be obedient..." Yuan Yu didn't listen. He stretched his neck and insisted that Yuan Qi leave first.
Zhou Chang couldn't bear to see Yuan Yu still anxious at this time, so he persuaded Yuan Qi: "Why don't you go out first and let the old man talk to me for a while?"
Yuan Qi was overwhelmed with emotion, but he had no choice but to gently help his father Yuan Yu lie back on the pillow: "Okay, then I'll stand guard at the door, and if Dad needs anything, just call me..."
Yuan Yu closed his eyes tiredly as a sign of agreement.
Yuan Qi left reluctantly, and without taking a few steps back, he stood next to the screen not far away.
Zhou Chang watched Yuan Qi leave Yuan Yu's sight, then turned back and whispered to Yuan Yu: "Old man, if you have anything to say, just say it slowly."
Yuan Yuqing knew that his daughter had not left, but he did not care about these details. When he regained his breath and could speak fluently, he said to Zhou Chang: "Your Highness is a man who values friendship and loyalty. I understand this best. I believe that Your Highness also knows my daughter's feelings for Your Highness. Unfortunately, fate plays tricks on us..."
Zhou Chang did not dare to respond and could only listen quietly, because the consciousness of Prince Yi gradually surfaced in her heart. She did not understand Prince Yi's thoughts at first, but since Yuan Qi left, she should understand everything.
Yuan Yu took another breath: "My little girl is a strong-willed woman. Even though she went around asking for help for my sake, she even came to Your Highness. If I am gone tomorrow..., she will not ask for help for her own affairs even if she is in trouble. But, Your Highness Prince Yi... cough cough..."
At this point, Yuan Yu became emotional and started coughing violently again.
Zhou Chang quickly stood up and sat in Yuan Qi's previous position, helped Yuan Yu to stand up slightly, patted his back to help him breathe, and stole a glance at Yuan Qi.
Yuan Qi was also worried about his father, but it was not appropriate for him to go up to him at the moment, so he could only worry.
Zhou Chang had no choice but to pretend he didn't see her and simply comforted Yuan Yu: "Don't worry, old man. I understand what you mean. Don't worry. Although we can't make it...ah...we are already friends. If there is anything in the future, even if it's out of friendship, I will do my best to protect and help her without her asking."
“Ahem… No, no…” Yuan Yu shook his head desperately. Suddenly, he found strength and grabbed Zhou Chang’s collar. “Your Highness, Your Highness Prince Yi… You don’t understand, ahem… What worries me most is this daughter. From childhood to adulthood, I have given her the best…, ahem… It’s a pity… It’s a pity that she is not a boy after all. Girls often have no control over their own affairs. Even if Your Highness is of noble status, if the name is not right, then the words will not flow, then, then…”
Zhou Chang understood and couldn't help but look up at Yuan Qi.
Yuan Qi was about to come over, but he forced himself to hold it back, obviously disagreeing with his father's opinion.
Zhou Chang could not help but speculate that Yuan Yu had probably said this to his daughter more than once, but Yuan Qi certainly did not mean it. Otherwise, he would not have asked Prince Yi to agree to everything just now, and he did not need to take it seriously.
Thinking of this, an inexplicable sense of loss welled up in my heart, and I couldn't help but think of Wen Qingyan...
From Yuan Yu's perspective of choosing a husband for his daughter, Prince Yi has far more advantages than Wen Fei. But in terms of the relationship between men and women, Yuan Qi and Wen Fei have been childhood sweethearts and have been together for nearly twenty years. How can their relationship be easily replaced by others?
Therefore, Zhou Chang did not need Yuan Yu to continue: "Don't worry, old man, I understand my daughter's affairs. I will do my best to help her in any way I can, and I will definitely do my best to protect her in the future."
Yuan Yu couldn't wait to catch his breath, and held onto the collar tightly, "Is your Highness and my daughter really destined to be together? Your Highness can still call me 'Old Master'. You came all the way here to save me, isn't it because you still have feelings for my daughter? My daughter... I know her thoughts best, she won't be easily tempted, let alone compromise... Since you agreed to the marriage granted by your Majesty, then... then..."
Zhou Chang’s mind was no longer working.
What does this mean?
Does Yuan Qi also have feelings for Prince Yi?
There is clearly a strange emotion surging in the deepest part of my heart.
Zhou Chang knew that it belonged to Prince Yi Fengming, but how was this possible?
It must be Yuanyu's misunderstanding.
Zhou Chang couldn't believe it and looked up at Yuan Qi again.
Yuan Qi couldn't bear it any longer and rushed over to Yuan Yu: "Daddy, daddy... stop talking, since you have given the family business to your daughter, you must trust her. I am definitely no worse than those men. I don't need anyone else to protect me, I can do it myself..."
“Alas, Qi’er, why don’t you understand…” Yuan Yu’s tears also flowed from the corners of his eyes. He finally let go of the hand that was holding Zhou Chang’s collar and stroked his daughter’s head. “You are still young. How can you really understand the difficulties of the world and the wickedness of human nature?… Especially for a girl like you, what you will face in the future may be a hundred times more difficult than that of a boy. Ahem… Daddy handed over the family business to you because he was afraid of you. Your brother is young… and he has no one to rely on. But this family business has become a shackle since it is a reliance. Daddy is afraid of you, afraid of you…”
"Don't worry, Daddy. I'm not afraid either..." Seeing that Yuan Yu was having more and more trouble speaking, Yuan Qi raised her head and grabbed Yuan Yu's hand with a firm expression, "Who says women are inferior to men? I will lead the Yuan family to prosperity and make Yuan Jie glorious. I will also take good care of myself. Don't worry, Daddy."
