At the age of fifteen, the old Marquis Chu Guangche moved out of Anrong Hall and moved into the Jin Courtyard in the outer courtyard. Then, he began to renovate Anrong Hall. The first, second, and third courtyards did not need to be renovated. The main room of the third courtyard only needed to be replaced with furniture. The key was that the fourth and fifth courtyards needed to be renovated.

From then on, Chu Lingxuan and Chen Afu lived in the third courtyard, the two brothers lived in the fourth courtyard, and Chu Hanyan and Xiao Yuer lived in the fifth courtyard.

Originally, a girl of Chu Hanyan's age should live in a courtyard by herself, but the little girl obviously didn't want to. Chen Afu also wanted to keep her around to learn some human relationships, so he let her live alone until she was twelve years old.

There is no north room in the fourth courtyard, only east and west wing rooms. Yu'er lives in the east wing and Ming'er lives in the west wing.

Chu Hanyan and Xiao Yuer both lived in the back room of the fifth entrance, and the middle hall was shared by the two of them. The east room was Chu Hanyan's bedroom, and the east side room was her living room and study. The west room was Xiao Yuer's bedroom, and the west side room was her living room.

There are several lilac trees planted in the second courtyard, so it is called Lilac Hall, which is specially used to entertain guests or have meals when there are important events at home.

Anrong Hall alone is this big, and the entire Yong'an Marquis Mansion is even bigger. When the third family moves out, such a large house will be too empty for only my family. Even if the old marquis and the old master come back to live occasionally, they won't take up much space.

For the first time in his past and present lives, Chen Ahfu was worried about how big his house was. Thinking of the Wang Mansion, which was even bigger than this house, and Xiao Shiyi living there alone, Chen Ahfu felt even more distressed.

She told Chu Lingxuan about her thoughts, and Chu Lingxuan smiled and said, "Then let's have a few more children. When they grow up and get married, they will have a few more grandchildren, and this house will be bigger. As for the Prince, our daughter is just like you, she is destined to have many children and good fortune. If she gives us a few more grandchildren in the future, the Prince's House will be more lively."

Thinking of the group of children following the prince and Chu Hanyan, Chen Afu laughed in an unkind way.

Chu Lingxuan continued, "After Dad and Grandpa have finished handling the family affairs, they will move to the countryside. Dad's main purpose is to take my mother back to secular life. Alas, my mother has been in the monastery for so many years, her temperament has changed, and she has a lot of resentment towards my father. My father may not be able to fulfill his wish. When I am done with my work, we will go together to persuade my mother..."

Chen Ahfu nodded. She also wanted to let Luochen return to the secular world and give the old marquis a complete family. In a sense, they were both miserable people. One had been lonely for half his life, and the other had been forbearing for half his life. If they could let go of their grudges and comfort each other for the rest of their lives, they would both be happy. However, this beautiful wish was not easy to realize. In other words, it was unknown how much effort it would take to realize it.

She thought that her mother Wang was more insightful. Although she had a deep relationship with Chen Shiying, she was able to let go of the emotion that should not exist anymore and live a good life with Chen Ming. Jiang was also insightful. She loved Chen Shiying so much that she even lost her self and dignity. But she handled the relationship with Chen Afu and Wang very skillfully, which touched Chen Shiying and made him cherish her more.

These two women had their misfortunes, but through their efforts and planning, they lived a happier life. Wang, in particular, had a hard time in the first half of her life, but she managed to support her seriously ill husband, her mentally handicapped daughter, her weak son and her grandson, and her life became better and better.

Even though Liaochen had left home, she was still taken care of by her parents and son. No matter how difficult her life was, it was not as difficult as Wang's. Character determines destiny. Liaochen may have had a good life in the past, or she may have set too high expectations for love. Not only did her family suffer, she herself suffered too much...

On the evening of the 18th, Chu Lingqi suddenly came to the Marquis's Mansion. It turned out that after Liaochen knew that the Second Prince's party had been completely wiped out, he insisted on moving back to Yingxue Temple, and Steward Luo and some servants moved back to Tangyuan.

He was extremely embarrassed and said, "...boss Luo and I were afraid of what our aunt might think, so we never dared to tell her about the victory in suppressing the rebellion, and we also did not allow the servants to speak of it. But the day before yesterday, when the servants were discussing it quietly, our aunt heard it, and she... I'm sorry, I have disappointed my uncle and my elder brother."

Now she is not afraid of the remnants of the second prince or Rong Zhao harming her, but her determination makes the relaxed mood of the old marquis and Chu Lingxuan heavy again.

The old marquis had previously thought that he and his father would go to Dingzhou Prefecture together to persuade Luo to return to secular life, and then live together in Tangyuan or Fuyuan in the countryside. The scenery there was picturesque, not far from the capital, and it would not only keep his promise to live in seclusion in the countryside, but also allow him to pay attention to the movements in the capital and give advice to his younger brother and son...

Now, Luo has moved to Yingxue'an, so he has no choice but to move to Fuyuan first and then plan things slowly.

Chu Lingxuan said, "Thank you, second brother. My father and I know that you have done your best. You are closest to my mother, so I will trouble you to take good care of her in the future."

Then, he asked people to prepare wine and food, and kept Chu Lingqi in the mansion to drink.

On the morning of April 20, Prince He really sent someone to pick up the Chu family to have dinner at the palace. He said that he also invited Princess Rongjing and Prince Rui Li Xuan. Princess Rongjing was the original Sixth Princess Li Cheng.

Chen Afu was too busy, she had to renovate Anrong Hall and organize the courtyard that was vacated after the second house moved out. Although she didn't have to do these things herself, she had to make decisions and occasionally watch. The third wife was busy moving to the mansion of the Marquis Xijin, and she didn't have time to go. Chu Lingxuan and other men were even busier. Chu Lingwei and Chen Alu, who were on leave, had to go out to meet friends, so they only let Chu Lingzhi take Chu Hanyan and her two siblings. Xiaoyu'er was too young, and Chen Afu was worried about her going, so she asked someone to take her to play outside the courtyard.

Xiao Yu'er was a smart little girl. When she heard the little maid accidentally say that her elder sister, brother, and uncle had all gone to visit the palace, but she was the only one who didn't go, she refused to do it. She asked the maid to take her to Chen Afu who was in Rong'an Hall and cried, "I want to visit, Xiao Yu'er wants to visit."

Chen Ahfu said a lot of nice things, but Xiao Yuer still cried and her face turned red. This child was spoiled by her grandfather. She was usually stronger and more competitive than her older sister and brother, and her older sister and brother always gave in to her. Chen Ahfu had long wanted to control her temper, so he said firmly, "No, Xiao Yuer, stay at home with your mother."

Seeing that her mother didn't let her go even though she was crying like that, Xiao Yu'er ran behind a tree and sulked. Chen Ahfu ignored her and talked to the servants about how to decorate the room.

Not long after, she suddenly heard the scream of the maid who was taking care of her in the yard, "Where is my second sister? I just glanced away, how come she disappeared?"

The maids were all frightened. They searched all over Anrong Hall but couldn't find any trace of Xiao Yuer.

Chen Afu also became nervous. The child could not be lost in this mansion, but he was afraid that she would fall into the lake or the well if she was not careful.

The maids and old women hurried to look for people, focusing on the lakeside and places with wells.
