Yan Chuan didn't care about Nangong Chiyu's fame and fortune at all; if he wanted it, he would earn it himself.
"Brother, why do you always think the worst? If Mother and Prince Yu were together, wouldn't it be wonderful for our family to live happily together?"
Yan Chuan patted his younger sister's head affectionately and said, "There are always two sides to everything. If that's really the case, then it's naturally good. If Grandma is happy, the whole family will be happy."
Yi Huan wanted to defend Nangong Chiyu, telling Yan Chuan how good Nangong Chiyu was, how good he was to his mother, and so on...
No matter how well his sister spoke of Prince Yu, Yan Chuan ultimately said the same thing.
"If that day ever comes, I will still stand on Mother's side, and you will too, sister, you know that?"
Yi Huan: "Mm!"
Aunt Dong had prepared the meal, but since there were guests present, they naturally couldn't sit at the table to eat.
When Chunhua came to call Su Luo, Zhao Ruyun and Nangong Chiyu were already sitting at the dining table in the hall.
Yan Chuan and Yi Huan pulled out a chair for Su Luo and helped her sit down.
"Luo Luo, come here quickly, come and eat."
Zhao Ruyun was unusually happy, and Su Luo didn't want to spoil her mood, so she let her be.
"Luo Luo, Huai Xu, today is the happiest day I've had in years. Huai Xu is still alive, so our family is doubly blessed, hehehe..."
"By the way, Luo Luo, Huai Xu told me about the two of you. You are the lucky star of the Chen family. You even brought Huai Xu home this time. Your mother-in-law doesn't know how to thank you enough."
And don't blame Huai Xu. He was injured, and you two supported each other in the capital. From now on, our family will live a good life together.
Su Luo ladled a bowl of soup for Zhao Ruyun and placed it in front of her: "Mother-in-law, let's eat first."
Su Luo's reaction was neither sad nor happy, so calm that Zhao Ruyun couldn't figure out what she was thinking, considering their child was already so grown up.
Moreover, the future holds many good days. Huai Xu's height and appearance are impeccable, and the two are a perfect match.
"Mom, let's eat first!"
Zhao Ruyun was afraid that Su Luo wouldn't understand, so she wanted to persuade her, but Nangong Chiyu stopped her, meaning that he would communicate with Su Luo properly.
Seeing the family like this, Yan Chuan and Yi Huan also ate quietly and obediently.
Su Luo eats quickly; she needs to be full before she can solve any problem.
Although Su Luo knew Nangong Chiyu's identity, she still confirmed it with Zhao Ruyun.
"Grandma, his name is Nangong Chiyu. Are you sure he really is Chen Huaixu?"
Looking at her son's face, Zhao Ruyun put down her chopsticks. How could she admit her mistake?
"Luo Luo, Huai Xu explained to me that the name Nangong Chiyu was bestowed by His Majesty and cannot be changed, but it is also an honor for the Chen family."
Yan Chuan and the others still share the surname Chen, and Huai Xu is still Huai Xu. Even if the name has changed, he is still your husband.
You've worked hard all these years. Now that Huaixu is back, you don't have to work so hard anymore. It's not that I'm biased towards Huaixu, but if he dared to do anything to betray you, I would be the first to object.
"Don't worry, Mother, I'm not the kind of person who forgets kindness."
Nangong Chiyu spoke gently. He liked Su Luo, and Su Luo happened to be his wife. He was only afraid that Su Luo would not want him, so how could he do anything to betray Su Luo?
"Okay! I understand, Mother-in-law."
After Su Luo finished speaking, she turned to look at Nangong Chiyu. With his family reunited, his eyes also sparkled.
"Nangong Chiyu, come out with me. I have something to say to you alone. Let's talk."
Su Luo got up and walked towards the front yard, with Nangong Chiyu following behind her. Only Yan Chuan Yi Huan and Zhao Ru Yun remained in the hall.
Zhao Ruyun told the two children to eat properly, and that Luo Luo and Huai Xu needed to have a serious talk.
The moon hangs high in the sky, and the May evening breeze is refreshing and pleasant, but unfortunately, it can't blow away worries.
Su Luo didn't even want Nangong Chiyu to enter the room. She walked to the viewing bridge and stopped. Under the moonlight, Nangong Chiyu's eyes were as bright as the moon, and his appearance was more beautiful than brocade.
Outside the courtyard, at the edge of the village, the croaking of frogs echoed from the fields, making this night anything but peaceful.
"Nangong Chiyu, when did you regain your memories while you were in the capital?"
Su Luo leaned against the viewing bridge, her face expressionless.
"When Chi Yi brought An'an to the capital, he saw the portraits of Yan Chuan and the others."
It turned out that he remembered it at that time, and he must have investigated his own background, so he knew at that time that he was his wife.
All that followed—risking his life to save her, braving danger to protect her—was it simply out of a sense of responsibility towards her?
"Luo Luo, are you angry? I can explain this to you. The situation at the time was not suitable for us to acknowledge each other."
"Okay, I understand!"
Su Luo interrupted him, she didn't need to hear such ambiguous and unnecessary explanations.
"I'm not angry. Besides, with Ye Beihan in the capital, if you acknowledge me and Yi Huan, it will only bring us greater danger."
You did a good job on this. If you told me you were Chen Huaixu without any evidence, I wouldn't believe you.
I completely understand your good intentions, and I've seen how you treat me and how you treat Yi Huan.
Su Luo was incredibly intelligent, so how could she not know his intentions? Nangong Chiyu felt that with such a wife, what more could a husband ask for?
"Luo Luo! Then we..."
"Then let's just live like this, as a couple in name only. It's better for everyone."
This was the best solution Su Luo could think of after thinking about it all night. As long as Nangong Chiyu didn't bother her, she wouldn't dislike him.
With Zhao Ruyun happy, the two children had a father, the family was harmonious and happy, and the two of them lived a carefree life.
"Su Luo, what do you mean? I am your husband, I am a normal man."
Nangong Chiyu's phoenix eyes were filled with agitation. Su Luo meant that she did not accept him. Didn't she feel her own feelings?
Su Luo naturally thought of these things as well. He was a man, and without war, he naturally had the mind to think about other things.
"I know you're a normal person. If you agree to us being a couple in name only, I'll sign a contract with you."
This house in Changping Village is mine, as are all my businesses, the estate, and my own property.
These are all things I've accumulated. Now that you're a prince, you don't lack these worldly possessions. As long as you agree, I'll allow you to take any concubines you wish to take in the future.
But Yan Chuan and the others can only be legitimate sons, and I can cover their expenses in the future.
You are only responsible for taking care of your concubines. I may not be able to manage the inner quarters. If there are any disputes or jealousies, you are responsible for resolving them yourself.
But don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble. What's yours is yours, what's mine is mine, and what's the child's is mine. We are both free.
Su Luo's meaning was clear: she wanted to act with him for the rest of her life, and Su Luo believed that such conditions were also excellent for Nangong Chiyu.
Which man wouldn't want to have three wives and four concubines? But before taking concubines, he must first have a principal wife.
How many women can allow their husbands to take concubines? Su Luo did as he pleased. The capital city was so big that the Prince Yu's mansion could easily accommodate a dozen or twenty concubines.
