The Challenge of a Farmhouse Son-in-Law-Chapter 1643 - 1646: He Is Not Suited

Jin Zijin was silent for a moment and did not deny the Emperor’s words.

He said, "I understand, which is why I say I am not suited to be Emperor. Because I cannot do what you say, I won’t keep anyone who dares harm my family. Everyone says you are a good Emperor, and you truly are."

The Emperor had already gradually accepted that Jin Zijin would not become Emperor.

Perhaps he was too stubborn, always thinking to use the best things in the world to make amends to him, always believing that the arduous work he put into safeguarding the empire could only be inherited by his son with Xiao Qinqin.

Yet as a father, he had overlooked an important matter.

What he thought was the best, Jin Zijin did not think was good; the throne might be a burden to him.

He wholeheartedly wanted to hand over a clean throne to him but did not realize that the stains on this seat would ultimately rely on him to clean.

Now the world is peaceful, and the people need a peace-loving Emperor.

Therefore, the Emperor no longer intended to force him, or to force the subjects of the empire.

He said, "Zijin, your talent is indeed not suited to being a peace-loving monarch; you distinguish right from wrong too clearly."

Jin Zijin hesitated for a moment, then quietly said, "You’ve finally understood this point."

The Emperor sighed and said, "This is what I owe your mother, if you do not want it, I will compensate her with other things."

Jin Zijin’s brows furrowed with a hint of resentment and said, "She does not need any compensation!"

The Emperor did not continue the topic, took off his outer robe, and said to Jin Zijin: "You should go back, I’m tired!"

Jin Zijin glanced at the Emperor who had turned away, and he too turned and walked out step by step.

Your empire, your ministers, how you wish to deal with them is your affair.

The Dragon Throne is singular, so whoever sits in that seat is destined to have no family.

...

Miss Du’s belly grew bigger and bigger, making Gu Youyou and her husband more and more envious.

Gu Youyou indicated that she had been diligently conditioning her body, but despite her efforts, it was still difficult to get pregnant due to previous injuries.

Watching her drink another bowl of the dark sludgy medicine, Jin Zijin frowned and said, "Perhaps we should just wait until we move to the new home. The environment there will be better for pregnancy!"

Gu Youyou: "..."

"Hasn’t it been so long, is the new home ready?"

"How long? It’s been only a little over two months since we started planning. Do you really think building a straw house is that quick?"

Well, her factory still wasn’t finished either.

Gu Youyou cheerfully gulped down the bowl of medicine.

She rinsed her mouth and stood up, "I have to go to Xiguang Residence, Boss Chen returned from Yangguan City yesterday and mentioned he had urgent business to discuss with me."

"Okay, you go, I’ll go check on Xuyao!"

Jin Zijin helplessly watched his busy wife; where others see wives waiting with their children for their busy husbands to return, in their case, it was the other way around, with husbands waiting with children for wives to return. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Or sometimes they both were busy, leaving the maid to wait with their child for the parents to return.

After Gu Youyou finished discussing official matters with Boss Chen and took a short rest, she intended to leave but saw Zhang Shiyu causing a ruckus in the hall upstairs.

Since Prime Minister Zhang did not gain any advantage last time, both father and daughter had behaved for a while, reportedly not leaving the house for many days.

Unexpectedly, it had only been ten days, and Miss Zhang couldn’t stay put and had come to Xiguang Residence to cause trouble.

"What’s happening downstairs?" Gu Youyou stood on the second floor, gazing down at Zhang Shiyu.
