The eunuch behind Princess Rongzhao brought a tray with a jade ruyi and a copy of "Instructions for Women" on it.

Chen Afu wiped his eyes and suppressed the resentment in them.

This Rong Zhao is too bad, she said all the good and bad things. She is of noble status, so she has to admit that she was bullied, for the sake of Dabao in the countryside and for the Chu family...

However, she has made a note of this debt. When the Golden Swallow comes out, she will ask it to take the debt back even if she is not here.

With red eyes, Chen Afu took the jade ruyi and "Instructions for Women" and also presented a pair of shoes.

Afterwards, Chu Lingxuan and Chen Afu knelt before Lord Chu again.

Chen Ahfu kowtowed and said, "I greet my father-in-law. I wish him good health and longevity."

Lord Chu drank the tea and said in a gentle voice, "I am sorry for the injustice done to your daughter-in-law today. It's your father-in-law's fault. In the future, I will respect your grandfather well, serve your husband well, and have children for the Chu family as soon as possible." After that, he gave her a red envelope.

He really liked this daughter-in-law. Although she was not born in a high family, she was virtuous, intelligent, kind, and concerned about the overall situation. Most importantly, she brought up the eleventh prince very well. He wanted to praise her a few words... but for her own good, he decided not to praise her.

He glanced at Rong Zhao again. This woman was unvirtuous, willful, overbearing, and brainless. She was being used by others without knowing it.

If he was not waiting for the Seventh Prince's leg to be healed, or if he was not waiting for the Eleventh Prince to grow up safely, how could he, a seven-foot-tall man and former commander of the Imperial Guards, marry her and pretend to be nice to her?

Fortunately, the eleventh prince does not need to grow up. The seventh prince's leg is almost healed, the third brother has a large army, and the emperor has trained some people for the seventh prince. All they have to do is to wipe out the Wang family and settle the Sun family...

Chen Afu took the red envelope from Lord Chu and presented him with a pair of shoes.

Lord Chu nodded with satisfaction while holding the shoes, and couldn't help but praise them, "Not bad, my daughter-in-law's craftsmanship is very good."

Chen Afu felt a little guilty and decided to give him a pair of shoes he made himself as a gift someday.

After meeting the parents-in-law, the maid introduced the others. In addition to the people from the Chu family, there were also the second prince and his wife, the Rui prince and his wife, the eighth prince and his wife, and several members of the Ma family.

Chen Ahfu secretly complained that if he was ranked according to Dabao's seniority, he would be one generation older. But according to Rongzhao's seniority, Chen Ahfu was one generation younger than them all.

Among these people, except for Prince Rui and his wife, everyone else was indifferent.

Chen Afu sat down, and Xue Baoyi came to greet her again.

Xue Baoyi was wearing a light red flowered smoky silk jacket, a moon-white pleated flowered long skirt, and a pair of spiral buns. She looked quite innocent, but there was a rage in her eyes, and she obviously looked down on Chen Afu. She bowed perfunctorily, and then looked at Chen Afu unscrupulously and said, "You don't look that good, and your name is even more rustic, you are not worthy of my eldest brother."

He seemed to feel sorry for Chu Lingxuan, and seemed to have a good relationship with Chu Lingxuan.

It was not okay to openly talk back to the princess, but it was also not okay to be slapped in the face by this little girl.

Chen Ahfu said, "But my husband said that I look good in this outfit, and that my name is a good one and will bring good luck to my husband's family."

Xue Baoyi didn't expect Chen Ahfu to talk back to her. She was stunned and cursed, "Country bumpkin." She threw the purse that Chen Ahfu gave her to a maid and said, "What a broken thing. Here's a reward for you."

The royal family is all perverted. I hope that after Dabao recognizes his ancestral roots, he can still maintain his current pure and kind mentality.

Chen Ahfu ignored the little girl and lowered her head in a daze. Princess Rui beside her turned her head and smiled at her, whispering, "Grandma Chu, don't take some words and things to heart. If you get angry, you will be the one who suffers."

Princess Rui is fair and pretty, with a gentle attitude.

Chen Afu nodded. She was quite touched. What Princess Rongzhao said just now not only slapped Chen Afu in the face, but also slapped Prince Rui and Princess Rui in the face. However, Princess Rui obviously did not bear a grudge against her.

The two of them talked in low voices.

At this moment, Rong Zhao didn't have time to look here, as she was having an argument with Madam Chu San.

The two of them had always been at odds, always arguing when they met. But today was different, Mrs. Chu seemed to be holding on to Rong Zhao, constantly drawing his attention to her, making Rong Zhao very angry.

They were born in the same year, only two months apart. They had never gotten along well since childhood and had never called each other sisters affectionately. They were used to calling each other by nicknames.

Later, the two married into the Chu family and became sisters-in-law. However, due to well-known reasons, they became even more incompatible.

The second prince looked at Mrs. Chu San with a gloomy look in his eyes. He knew what Changhua was up to. He thought, you can be proud, but you won't be proud for long anyway. You will be a widow next year, and then you will be depressed and die of illness within half a year.

If I hadn't known that Chu Guangkai was a short-lived person and would fall to his death next year, I would never have allowed him to become such a high-ranking official without asking my maternal family to intervene...

The second prince looked around the room. There were several variables in this life, and two of them were in this room.

One is of course Chu Guangche married Rong Zhao, which was the work of himself and the queen mother. The second is this Chen Afu... This person did not exist in the previous life. Fortunately, her background is not obvious, so she cannot be a helper of the Chu family. However, I always thought that she grew up in the countryside and had no experience. But today her performance seems to be different from what I thought...

Also, Concubine Shan only gave birth to the Ninth Prince in her previous life, but in this life she gave birth to another princess...

Humph, except for my own wife and the eighth wife, all the women in this house will become widows in the future, which is the opposite of the previous life! Originally, I would let the seventh brother go, but this man is really not smart and is getting closer and closer to Changhua and the Chu family.

Fortunately, when he came back, the Chu family was not yet extremely powerful, and the power of his maternal family had not been taken away by the emperor. Everything was going according to his plan... However, Chu Guangche was really able to bend and stretch. He was so arrogant in his previous life, but in this life he could still be so patient even when he was trampled in the dust.

Chu Guangche and Chu Lingxuan, father and son, will both be variables in the future, so even if Lao Jiu is lame, we can't let them go. When Chu Guangkai dies, we will find a way to have them buried with him, the sooner the better.

Only when the Chu family is completely defeated can he rest assured. Once the third brother and the Sun family are dealt with, his father will have no choice but to pass the throne to him.

He never understood why his father disliked him so much. The ninth son was lame, and his father's wish to let the Yuan family inherit the throne could not be realized, so why did he support the third son to fight him. In his previous life, he supported the third son to compete with him, but in this life, he seemed to really love the third son. He was born in the empress, and in this life, he corrected many of his shortcomings. His family background and virtue made him the best candidate to inherit the throne, but his father was wavering between him and the third son...

Thinking of this, the second prince clenched his fists again. In his previous life, his mother, himself, and his maternal family all died so tragically. He must not follow the old path in this life!
