BHBF Chapter 73.1

Boss, He’s Becoming a Father (Arc 4) Chapter 73.1: Playful Son (1)

Shao Yu opened his eyes, and the woman next to him also woke up immediately and stood up before Shao Yu.

Shao Yu put on his court dress with the help of a woman.

“Master, it’s cold in the morning, don’t get cold.” The woman said softly.

Shao Yu nodded, followed the lantern held by the servant, and slowly walked towards the sedan chair that was waiting for him.

Shao Yu, who was in the sedan chair, closed his eyes, as if he was dozing off, but in fact his mind was completely immersed in the plot of this world.

The woman who helped him get up was his second wife: Xiao Han.

Shao Yu’s identity in this world is now a third-rank Dali Temple Minister.

He was originally from a poor family, but through years of hard study, he became the top scholar at a young age, and then married the eldest daughter of his mentor’s first wife. The couple was very loving, but his wife had a difficult delivery when giving birth to their eldest son, and passed away after leaving behind the newborn child.

In order to have someone to take better care of the eldest son, the original body went to see the younger daughter of his mentor’s second wife, who was also the half-sister of the original body’s first wife.

The second wife came into the family and gave birth to a son and a daughter. In the eyes of outsiders, the original body was a winner in life because he had a beautiful wife and both a son and a daughter.

But in fact, the original body’s eldest son was very naughty and often caused trouble outside, causing the original body and his wife to follow behind the eldest son and clean up the mess.

The eldest son seemed well-behaved and sensible when he was young, but as he grew older, he became more and more difficult to deal with. No one in the family could persuade him, and he also had a lot of bad habits. Such a person eventually got into big trouble and was punished by being exiled to the border.

In comparison, the younger son and daughter were very outstanding. They inherited the advantages of their parents. The younger son was smart and clever, and he could learn things quickly. Like his father, he passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi at an early age. After entering the officialdom, he was promoted step by step and finally became the prime minister.

As for the younger girl, she grew up to be extremely beautiful. After she reached the age of 15, she married a much-oppressed prince. But even though the prince was in a bad situation, the younger girl still treated him consistently. The couple went through hardships together for many years, and finally their hard work paid off. The prince was hit by the throne that fell from the sky.

After ascending the throne, the youngest daughter naturally became the empress. Out of gratitude for the empress’s companionship over the years, the new emperor vowed to never let her down. He indeed gave the empress supreme honor and favor, and even the empress’s maternal family was promoted to heaven.

If the story ended here, it would seem that everyone except the ignorant eldest son lived a very happy life.

But in fact, when the new emperor ascended the throne, he was truly grateful to the queen. With this gratitude, he even promoted her brother all the way to the position of prime minister.

But as time goes by, people change. The new emperor no longer remembers his wife’s sharing of hardships with him when he sneaked into the country, nor does he remember the help his father-in-law and his family gave him. He just feels disgusted by the unlimited expansion of the Shao family’s power.

The man who once swore to never let his wife down for the rest of his life, found her more and more hateful as she grew older, and even took his anger out on his children.

However, the empress knew nothing about it and instead indulged her own family. The Shao family acted more and more unscrupulously and even threatened the imperial power. The emperor finally couldn’t stand it anymore. The empress was deposed and imprisoned in the cold palace for life, the prince was imprisoned and died in depression, and the entire Shao family was executed for treason.

The once powerful family turned into dust in an instant.

Shao Yu savored these plots carefully, and always felt that they were full of incongruity. He felt that a family that had built itself up in this way should not fall down so easily.

For the Shao family, the first half of this plot seemed unreal, but the second half seemed like a return to the right track, exposing those who don’t deserve to have everything to their true colors.

In the plot, the young girl could have chosen a prince with better conditions, but without any reason, she chose the unpopular Seventh Prince.

The Seventh Prince did not show any abnormality at that time, and even his later throne was obtained by simply winning without doing anything.

If you think about it carefully, the Shao family’s choice is very strange no matter how you look at it.

Shao Yu read the plot carefully. It was not difficult to see that the Shao family’s prosperity was inseparable from Xiao Han’s two children. However, their success was not based on hard work and sincerity, but as if they knew the plot in advance and successfully avoided countless pitfalls.

Shao Yu couldn’t help but focus the plot on Xiao Han.

Combining the memories of his original body, it was not difficult for Shao Yu to see that although his eldest son was very naughty, he was not actually a vicious person. On the contrary, in many of the wrong things he did, the figure of Xiao Han could be vaguely seen.

Before Shao Yu could think further, his sedan chair stopped and the bearers outside respectfully asked Shao Yu to get off.
