After talking about business, we talked about Chen Ayu's marriage. Many families are interested in Ayu now, but Ayu is not in a hurry. She wants to finish the business of the head office first. But the day before yesterday, someone came to talk about a young lady from an official family. Although she is a concubine's daughter, her father is a third-rank assistant commander in the Left Guard Camp in the suburbs of Beijing. The girl is also very beautiful, and her surname is He.

It is said that Mr. He and his wife accidentally saw Chen Ayu when they went to Hongyun Hotpot Restaurant for dinner. They thought that he was handsome, gentle, and knew how to act. If such a person had someone to help him, he would have a great future. Mr. He and his wife decided to marry one of their concubines to Chen Ayu. They also said that if Chen Ayu married the daughter of the He family, the He family would give a large dowry, so that Chen Ayu would have money to start a new business, and they would also help to attract customers...

Chen Ayu and Yang Mingyuan vaguely knew that Mr. He and Chen Afu's biological father were relatives, and they didn't seem to have a good relationship. Chen Ayu was still self-aware and knew that the He family would definitely not be interested in her, but the Chu family. So she didn't dare to agree and said she would consider it.

Chen Ayu blushed and said, "Even if my sister doesn't come, I still want to go to the Marquis' Mansion to ask her..."

This frightened Chen Ahfu. The He family even resorted to this trick, it seemed that they were really anxious, but their attitude was too humble.

Some troops from the Left Guard Battalion were also drawn into the army to suppress the rebellion, and it happened to be the battalion of Lord He. However, it was not Lord He who led the troops to the front line, but his deputy. Lord He knew that he was completely marginalized. Being marginalized was only the first step. If he was held accountable later, it was uncertain whether he would survive. Therefore, he was in a state of panic these days.

Now the Chu family is the most valued by the emperor and the prince, and Chen Afu is actually the adopted mother of the eleventh prince. It's a pity that although his second daughter-in-law and Chen Afu are sisters, their relationship is not good. He hinted to the second daughter-in-law several times to let her go to the Chu family to build a relationship with Chen Afu, but the second daughter-in-law just disobeyed and refused to go. Later, he found out that Chen Afu had a good relationship with the third branch of the Chen family, so he came up with this idea.

Chen Afu and Chen Ayu said sternly, "That Lord He was a follower of the Second Prince before, you must not get involved with him. Otherwise, it will not be helpful, but will cause a lot of trouble in the future."

Chen Ayu quickly nodded in agreement.

Chen Afu wanted to go home after lunch, but he saw several children playing happily here, especially Chu Hanyan, who was holding hands with Yang Qian and whispering to each other, and her giggles were much louder. In addition, Chen Aman and his sister and Yang Mingyuan persuaded him to stay, so he agreed to have dinner before going back.

Dinner will be eaten in Yang's mother's yard. Before dinner, Chen Afu took the children and the gifts for Yang's mother there.

Mother Yang had not changed much from a few years ago, with a kind face and a gentle look, only a little fatter. She smiled when she saw Chen Afu and her children, and gave the three little ones gifts.

However, Yang's mother almost ignored Chen A-man. When Chen A-man arrived, he stood beside the old lady to serve her, pouring tea and water for her, and trying to please her in various ways.

Perhaps Chen A-man had always been doing these things smoothly, so there was nothing unusual about it and she was smiling. Yang's mother also accepted it calmly and had no intention of asking Chen A-man to sit down.

Yang Mingyuan blushed a little and said, "Aman, please sit down. Mother has maids to serve her."

Mother Yang seemed to have just realized what was happening and said, "Go sit down, daughter-in-law."

After hearing this, Chen Aman bowed to Chen's mother and sat down on the chair with a smile.

Chen Ah-fu always thought that Yang's mother was a kind old lady, smart and polite. She acted this way, perhaps because she wanted to show off her stepmother's power to her two grandchildren, or perhaps Chen Ah-man's overly humble attitude made her heart swell.

Chen Afu had always disapproved of Chen Aman being too humble. In ancient times, daughters-in-law were always humble in front of their mothers-in-law, but Chen Aman went too far. There were so many maids and old women in the house, how could the mistress of the house be allowed to stand and serve tea and water?

If Yang Chao and Yang Qian were her biological children, the hidden danger would not be so great. But they are not her biological children. If she continues to be like this, she will be looked down upon by her growing brothers and sisters and even servants. If her mother-in-law is powerful and her stepchildren are not easy to get along with, then Aman's future life will be miserable.

Chen Aman's family background is indeed much worse than that of the Yang family, but her cousin is a noble relative that the Yang family relies on.

Chen Afu's face didn't look very good.

Yang Mingyuan was so smart that he knew at a glance that Chen Afu was unhappy. He quickly found something to say to Chen Afu, mostly praising his young wife for being filial to the elders, caring for the younger generation, and respecting her husband. The praise was too straightforward, and Chen Aman blushed with shame, and Chen's mother frowned a little.

Chen Ayu also had an embarrassed look on his face. He had been working so hard just to become stronger quickly and support his sister.

When they went to the side hall to eat, as soon as Chen Aman stood behind Yang's mother, Yang Mingyuan called him to sit down and eat.

After the meal, Chen Afu took the children and said goodbye to go home, and asked Aman to take the children to visit the marquis' mansion more often when he had nothing to do.

On February 20th, Marshal Chu led the army to the front line to suppress the rebellion, and the Chu family also calmed down.

Chen Afu led his children to live a peaceful life in the mansion.

In order to help Chen Afu gain a foothold in the aristocratic circle of the capital, Mrs. Chu San began to take Chen Afu to visit some wealthy families, and would also find excuses to invite some noble ladies to visit her home.

Chen Afu would bring Chu Hanyan with him almost every time, one reason was to find friends for her, and the other was to teach her how to socialize.

On the 25th, Lord Chu sent a letter to Chen Afu, saying that Princess Rong Zhao was ill, and Chen Afu should go see her. For fear of the illness, the three children did not need to be brought, but Yan'er still had to be brought along.

Since coming to the capital, Chen Afu has not visited Rong Zhao. But Lord Chu sent a letter, so she had to go.

Rong Zhao is much more obedient now, because the emperor doesn't like her, and Queen Wang, who is close to Concubine Ma Shu, has lost her power and is imprisoned. The mortal enemy of the second prince, the ninth prince, has become the crown prince, and the Shan Jieyu, who never shows up, has risen to the top and become the virtuous concubine, and will become the queen mother in the future.

What was even more terrifying was that the Second Prince had rebelled. He and the Ma family had already been assigned to the Second Prince's party, and his mother and he would completely fall out of favor in the future.

What she feared the most was that after the emperor passed away, once the prince ascended the throne, she might be abandoned by her husband. She had lived with her husband for so many years, and she knew that she had never really won his heart. Ever since the ninth prince became the prince, her husband had never been affectionate with her again. Even if she lowered her attitude and asked her husband to stay in her room for one night, he refused on the grounds that he was "tired".

She is now scared and angry, and is really sick.
