Chapter 519: Chapter 324, Are Your Boat-Driving Skills Decent?_3

The eldest son, Yu Chenghai, was the chief administrative officer of Phoenix City, a position of extreme prominence.

One could say it was a symbol of the Royal Family’s great respect and trust in the Yu Family, and one step further, he could have been ranked among the three highest ministers.

Some said that once you occupied this position, not even a ministerial role would tempt you to exchange it.

The second son, Yu Chenglong, served in the Phoenix Army and held a position of similar power and influence, being one of the three giants of the Phoenix Army.

Both the eldest and the second sons were very promising, one Chenglong and the other Chenghai, but the third son, Yu Bainian, was a disappointment...

He had been doing business well, but then got entangled in a murder case, and was beaten beyond recognition by Tang Fei in the Monitoring Bureau, so much so that his own father would have screamed "ghost" if he had seen him.

Whether he could live past a hundred years had indeed become an unknown.

"I wouldn’t dare to have Grandpa come out to meet me. If Grandpa really did come, I wouldn’t dare to even enter the gate," Phoenix said humbly.

Then, she introduced Tang Fei to the Yu Family, saying, "This is the esteemed guest invited by Grandpa, the captain of the Imperial Guard, Tang Fei."

Phoenix knew that the younger members of the Yu Family didn’t get along well with Tang Fei, and because Tang Fei had captured Yu Bainian, it had greatly embarrassed the Yu Family — they probably wanted to devour his flesh and drink his blood.

So, Phoenix specifically introduced Tang Fei as a guest invited by Grandpa and also highlighted his position as the captain of the Imperial Guard, thus dispelling any suspicions of Tang Fei and herself traveling together in the same carriage...

Shouldn’t the captain of the Guard stay close to protect?

This way, the etiquette officers beside had nothing to say, and even if they reported it to her father, he couldn’t really blame her.

After all, the position of the captain of the Guard was personally appointed by him and his elder brother.

Indeed, this tactic worked extremely well.

Yu Haoran stepped forward proactively and shook hands with Tang Fei, smiling, "Captain Tang, good to see you. I have heard much about you, and indeed, your reputation is well-deserved."

"I haven’t done much, just some trivial tasks like serving tea and water for the Princess."

"The Monitoring Bureau doesn’t handle trivial matters, every case is of paramount importance," indicated Yu Haoran pointedly.

"Oh, that’s just following the leaders’ directives. Wherever the leadership points, that’s where I strike." Tang Fei shook hands warmly with Yu Haoran, but he wasn’t taking any responsibility for the Monitoring Bureau.

He was merely following orders to investigate, and it just so happened to lead to the Yu Family.

If you want to blame someone, blame the Monitoring Bureau, the bureau chief...

"When leadership gives orders, isn’t it still up to our own people to do the work?" Yu Haoran subtly nudged Tang Fei, knowing his light-hearted words might not be taken seriously by the young man.

He then invited aloud, "Let’s go inside for some tea, don’t keep Grandpa waiting."

"Please."

"Please."

Led by Yu Haoran, everyone entered the Yu Family mansion.

Under the porch, an elder with an immortal demeanor and a smile stood, affectionately watching Phoenix who walked at the front and joyfully said, "Our little Phoenix is back."

"Grandpa." Phoenix quickly stepped forward and took Yu Changan’s hand.

Everyone could see that the relationship between the grandfather and granddaughter was excellent.

Yu Changan dearly loved his granddaughter Phoenix, and Phoenix also held deep respect and reverence for her Grandpa Yu Changan.

"Do you still remember you have this grandpa? If I hadn’t called you to come over, who knows when our little Phoenix would show up..." Yu Changan pretended to be angry, "You’ve made Grandpa worry."

"Grandpa, I’m sorry. I’ve been so busy with things recently, I neglected to come visit," Phoenix explained.

"Foolish child, Grandpa is just joking with you. Young people are busy with their own things, how can they come here every day?"

Yu Changan pointed to his grandchildren in front of him and said aloud, "If it weren’t for you coming today, do you think these young ones would want to stay by my side? They would have run off long ago."

"They didn’t want to disturb Grandpa’s peace," Phoenix comforted.

"It’s our little Phoenix who knows how to speak," laughed Yu Changan heartily.

Phoenix didn’t forget the important matter, pointing to Tang Fei beside her, she said, "Grandpa, this is the guest you asked me to invite... Tang Fei, I brought him here."

"Then I must take a good look," Yu Changan’s gaze landed on Tang Fei’s face, examining him carefully, his smile fading to a serious expression as he said, "Young man, if you want to marry our little Phoenix, you’ll have to get past this old man first."
