The second item, "accepting huge bribes to buy land and houses," also proves that it was done by Chen's mother and Chen Shiying was unaware of it.

Now, they sent people to Jiangnan to verify whether he really committed a crime. The two incidents in Jiangnan were also related to Chen's mother and Tang. Although Chen Shiying had taken remedial measures afterwards, the result was unknown.

Therefore, Chen Shiying had to be locked up until the people who went to Jiangnan came back. It was already the end of winter, and Chen Shiying's case would probably not be resolved until after the New Year...

Chu Lingxuan added, "If there is no major incident in Jiangnan, our people will also plead for my father-in-law. Please, Your Majesty, consider his contribution to the promotion of high-yield grains, his dedication to the court, and his deep love and filial piety. Please treat him with sympathy. Don't let the Dashun Dynasty lose such a talent..."

This was much better than expected, at least Chen Shiying did not suffer.

Chen Ahfu's tense mood was relieved, and she was so excited that tears welled up. She hugged Chu Lingxuan, rubbed her cheek against his head, and said, "Lingxuan, thank you. For my father, you have worked hard these days and lost weight. Thank you to your family, they have suffered so much."

Chu Lingxuan held her hand and whispered, "You are the one who should be thanked the most. If my father-in-law's daughter was not the Eleventh Master's adoptive mother, he would not be as comfortable as he is now. I found a way to meet my father-in-law. When he talked about the emperor's great grace, his eyes were a little red. Even he didn't expect that he would live so comfortably."

The meal had already been placed on the kang in the east room, including braised pork, boiled shrimp, cold jellyfish, shredded radish with scallion oil, noodles with shredded chicken and mushrooms, and a small pot of blue and white wine.

Chen Afu filled Chu Lingxuan's glass. She was in a good mood today and didn't want Chu Lingxuan to drink alone, so she also poured half a glass and drank with Chu Lingxuan.

Chu Lingxuan was very happy to see Chen Afu taking the initiative to drink with him. After drinking a glass of wine, he saw that Chen Afu's eyes became more moist, her cheeks became more pink, and her red mouth smiled sweetly. Especially her plump breasts, which made him think about it. Just now, when he saw his son feeding, he had swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva...

At this moment, his heart was filled with indescribable emotions and restlessness, and his body also changed.

He had asked the doctor before, and she said that a woman should wait two months after giving birth before having sex. He would count the days every day, hoping that day would come soon. But today was only the 23rd, and there were still eight days left. He felt like his body was about to explode with pain, so he had to suppress it and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Chen Ahfu didn't know that Chu Lingxuan was "imagining sex", so he leaned over with the wine pot and filled his glass. Seeing that his own wine was finished, he also poured himself half a glass.

In her previous life, Chen Ahfu often accompanied clients to drink. She had a very good alcohol tolerance. After drinking eight liang of white wine, she could still drink two bottles of beer. After traveling to this time and space, in order to maintain her ladylike demeanor, she only drank a little fruit wine during the New Year holidays and had never drunk this kind of strong liquor.

Qinghua Niang is a tribute wine, very mellow, Chen Ahfu felt that it was a bit like Maotai in her previous life. Usually when the old marquis and Chu Lingxuan drank it, she was very greedy, but she was too embarrassed to drink it.

She drank half a cup and liked it very much. She didn't take the small glass seriously and drank the other half. After drinking it, she felt her face burning and her head was dizzy.

It seems that this body is different from the previous life and can't handle alcohol.

Seeing that Chen Ahfu's face was getting even more flushed and his eyes were a little blurry, Chu Lingxuan asked, "Ahfu, are you drunk?"

"Yeah." Chen Afu hummed.

Chu Lingxuan said dejectedly, "What's the point of you getting drunk? It's not even two months yet, you can't..."

Chen Ahfu laughed at him twice, his smile more beautiful than the crabapple blossoms under the spring sun, and said, "What can't you do? Oh, you mean the things you love to do? Haha, I can do them now. The doctor checked me a few days ago and said that I have recovered better than others..."

Chu Lingxuan was stunned for a moment, then he started laughing. That was indeed what he loved to do. He stopped drinking, got up, picked up Chen Afu, and walked towards the bedroom.

Xia Yue and Xiao Mo, who were serving nearby, quickly took away the wine and food on the kang table with red faces.

Chen Afu was placed on the bed, and Chu Lingxuan covered her body, kissing her from her eyes to her nose, and then to her lips, gradually increasing the intensity of the kiss, making her already unclear brain even more confused.

Before I was completely confused, I was thinking, this guy's skills are getting better and better, he doesn't look like a young boy anymore...

The next morning, when Chen Afu heard Chu Lingxuan getting up, she also sat up with gritted teeth.

Chu Lingxuan leaned over and kissed her, then squeezed her little hand and smiled softly, "Afu, yesterday was so nice..."

You big-headed ghost! Chen Ahfu cursed inwardly.

I was thinking of going into the space to get some Yanchen wood residue to soak in water, and use it internally and externally.

The two got up, and Xia Yue and Xiao Mo came in to help them get dressed.

After sending Chu Lingxuan off to the government office, and Dabao and Chu Lingzhi off to school, Chen Afu fed Yu Ge'er and Ming Ge'er, then he took the servants to the Chen residence.

She was a little puzzled at first, and asked Luo Yuan to tell the elders of the Chen family about the evil deeds of old lady Chen and Chen Shiying's crime, why didn't they come to Dingzhou Prefecture. Later, she figured it out. Chen Shiying didn't live in his hometown for a long time. When he became glorious and prosperous, the clansmen would stick to him. If he committed a crime, the clansmen would hide away, so why would they come here? When they come, they will wait until they are sure that no clansmen will be implicated before they come to uphold justice.

Jiang is much thinner and older.

When she heard that Chen Shiying had not suffered, and lived alone in a small courtyard, and everything was good except for his lack of freedom, she cried with excitement.

She hugged Chen Afu and burst into tears, "Fuer, I'm lucky to have a daughter like you and such a good son-in-law. Otherwise, your father would have to suffer..."

Chen Ahfu listened to her nagging and crying for a while, including the quarrel with the old lady. Jiang was like this not only because Chen Shiying was in trouble, but also because she was the only woman supporting such a big family. The old lady not only did not play a good role, but also made trouble all day long, crying, cursing and smashing things in the house, which was caused by too much mental pressure.

Jiang had cried enough, so the maid brought in some water and she washed her face.

Chen Ahfu advised, "Mother, you have to take care of yourself. My father's matter may not be settled until after the New Year. If you die, what will happen to this family? Those vicious and ignorant people will be dealt with by others."

Jiang was too considerate of Chen Shiying, so no matter how angry the old woman was, she would not do anything to her. If it were Chen Ahfu, he would definitely take advantage of Chen Shiying's absence to give the damn old woman a hard time.

Jiang nodded and said, "Knowing that your father is not suffering, I feel relieved. It doesn't matter whether he is an official or not, as long as he is safe."

The two chatted for a while, and then Chen Ahfu said goodbye and went back home. Jiang knew that the whole family was still waiting for Chen Ahfu, so she didn't want to keep him any longer.
