Once again, when she opened her eyes, she had transformed into the ancient foolish lady, Chen Feng.
Watching the hero who saves her, was as high and mighty as a god and also so handsome, Chen...
After hearing what Chen Afu said, Chen Yuhui screamed, "How can that be possible? If I divorce and bring a child with me, I can only live with the child in the countryside for the rest of my life, just like our grandmother. How can I live like this? If this is the case, I might as well..." I might as well have married the local rich man in the countryside.
She was too embarrassed to say the second half of the sentence.
Even if Chen Yuhui didn't say it, Chen Afu guessed what she meant. She was still so selfish. In her eyes, children, parents, and family were not as important as her own wealth and glory.
Chen Ahfu looked at her with disdain. Her makeup was smudged from crying, and she looked not ordinary, but ugly. She was different from Chen Yuqing. Although Chen Yuqing also looked ordinary, she had gentle eyes and a bright smile at all times. She was amiable and people were willing to interact with her. Chen Yuhui, on the other hand, either had a blank expression on her face or a fierce look in her eyes, which made people dislike her. In addition, she had a selfish personality, just like that old lady Zhao.
In fact, Chen Ahfu didn't even want to give her that idea. Not only was Chen Yuhui a bad person, he had hurt him before, and he didn't want to delay Chen Yuqing, whose market was just getting better. But because she was young and pregnant, he didn't want her to die, so he said it.
Thinking of Chen Yuqing, Chen Ahfu's heart ached again. If Chen Yuhui succeeded in getting a divorce with the help of the child, he didn't know whether the marriage that was being discussed could be successful.
Chen Ahfu sneered, "Then who can you blame? It was you who jumped into the river and attracted He Linsheng. Dad didn't want you to marry him. He advised you many times that the He family was not right, but you insisted on marrying him."
Chen Yuhui said helplessly, "Yes, I was bewildered at the beginning. I thought I had found a good man with all the qualities, but who knew it was... However, if I hadn't married He Linsheng at the beginning, my father would have married me to a local rich man far away. I don't want to marry such a man." She paused, and asked unwillingly, "Sister, you can't do it. You can go and ask Madam Chu San or Lord Chu. Madam Chu San is the most loved by the Queen Mother, and Lord Chu is the most trusted by the Prince. They will definitely be able to help my father-in-law. If you can keep my father-in-law's official position, I will give you a big gift and remember your love for the rest of my life."
Chen Afu was speechless. It was hard to say whether Lord He could even save his life, but he still wanted to keep his official position. He was too ambitious! Besides, he didn't care about her gift, let alone her lifelong love. He had already reminded her of what he should have said, and he didn't want to say anything more. If Chen Yuhui was smart and had the ability to persuade her father-in-law to let her go, she might be able to save her life. If she still refused to change her ways, no one could save her.
She shook her head and said, "Neither I nor my in-laws have the ability to help your father-in-law. As for your own matter, you should think about it carefully." After that, without even looking at her, she went to the hall to watch the show.
The people on the stage sang non-stop, but Chen Ahfu didn't understand a word. But she had no choice but to sit here, or else she would be pestered by Chen Yuhui again.
After waiting for a long time for the two shows to end, the guests all said goodbye and went home. Only Xiao Shiyi, Li Cheng and Li Xuan stayed here and said they would go back after dinner.
When seeing off the guests, Chen Ahfu ignored Mrs. He's tight grip on Chen Yuhui's hand and Chen Yuhui's whisper, "Big sister, help me..."
She whispered to Mrs. He, "Mrs. He, please forgive me and my family for being powerless to do anything about those matters. We really can't help you. Also, my sister is less than two months pregnant. Please don't take her around everywhere. Her child is also from your He family." Then she went to see the other guests off.
After seeing off the guests, Chen Ahfu led a group of children back to the bamboo pavilion. Xiaoyi kept calling her "mother-in-law", which made her face red. She said angrily, "You and Yan'er are only engaged, not married yet, stop calling me that, it's so embarrassing."
Little Eleven said unconvincedly, "General Chu just got engaged to my mother-in-law, and he called my grandmother and grandfather mother-in-law and father-in-law. He doesn't feel ashamed at his age, so why should I be ashamed?" He whispered, "Mother-in-law also has the word 'mother' in it, which is better than calling you Madam Chu."
Hearing him say this, Chen Ahfu could not say anything more and could only let him call her. She felt quite emotional in her heart, as she was only 19 years old and already a mother-in-law. What was even more emotional was that she was very satisfied with this thoughtful and handsome son-in-law.
Maybe they were still young, or maybe Xiao Shiyi and Chu Hanyan were too familiar with each other. This was their first time together after their engagement, but it didn't feel unnatural. Only at the beginning, Miss Chu blushed a little, but she was fine later.
Seeing Xiaoyi taking better care of Chu Hanyan than before, Chen Afu smiled. Childhood sweethearts, innocent children, and the term "cultivation" that modern people like to talk about are the best descriptions of these two little people.
Dinner was eaten in the bamboo pavilion, and all the masters except those from the second house were invited, including Lord Chu.
At the dinner table, Chen Afu told Lord Chu that he wanted to go back to Dingzhou Prefecture to visit Lechen in a few days.
Lord Chu was worried about Le Chen living alone in Dingzhou Prefecture. Although Chu Lingqi and Shen accompanied her, they were nephew and niece-in-law after all. After listening to Chen Afu's words, he nodded and said, "Okay, arrange the affairs in the mansion and go. Persuade your mother-in-law and let her live there with peace of mind. Although the second prince is in Nanzhong Province now, there is no guarantee that there are no followers of his in these places. The second prince and his followers hate our Chu family, and they have no way to deal with us. We are afraid that they will deal with... Luo who is alone outside." He preferred to call Le Chen by his common name.
Hearing these words, Xiao Shiyi felt very embarrassed. He was precocious and knew a lot about the Chu family. He also occasionally heard a few words from his mother and the prince, and knew how much the Marquis of Chu had sacrificed and done for the prince. It can be said that the prince's recovery and his power were largely due to the Marquis of Chu.
Moreover, Lord Chu had sent me to Xiangluo Village in order to let Lechen adopt me. Although I was adopted by Grandma Wang by mistake, she still sent many secret guards to protect me, and I grew up healthy and safe.
At that time, my father promised Lord Chu that he would let him leave Princess Rong Zhao once the crown prince came to power. But now, my father saw that the Chu family was powerful and was afraid that the crown prince could not control Lord Chu, and was even more afraid that he would have rebellious intentions, so he broke his promise again.
Xiao Shiyi blushed and lowered his head. He wanted to help Lord Chu and hated Rong Zhao very much. However, he did not dare to say a word to help Lord Chu in front of his father, fearing that it would backfire and harm the Chu family.
He could speak for Chu Hanyan, and even for his mother, but he absolutely could not speak for Lord Chu...
