This scene unfolded before Nangong Chiyu's eyes, and he was also shocked.
Yan Chuan looks even more like him than in the portrait. Even though he wasn't by Su Luo's side, he could still see the two children.
Without any proof, he knew this was his flesh and blood.
I wonder what Su Luo thought when she saw how similar he and Yan Chuan looked. Did she really think it was just a coincidence?
Yan Chuan felt a gaze fixed on him, and when he turned his head, he was startled.
Who is that person? Why does he look so much like me? He is tall and imposing, exuding an aura of authority.
Hundreds of people came and went in the academy, but no one dared to speak to him. He had a sharp aura that made outsiders back down.
"Mother, who is that uncle?"
Yan Chuan asked Nangong Chiyu, who was behind them, "This person is too strange. He keeps looking at me with a probing gaze."
Yi Huan took Yan Chuan's arm and whispered in his ear, "That's Prince Yu from the capital, he's here as a guest."
Su Luo nodded to him, Yi Huan was right.
Yan Chuan tidied himself up and, as the only man in the family, stepped forward to bow to Nangong Chiyu.
"Uncle, I didn't know you were coming. My family was unable to welcome you. Please forgive us in this rural area."
Nangong Chiyu remained expressionless. Yi Huan had called him "uncle" for a long time, and now his son was calling him that too. He felt an indescribable bitterness in his heart.
He owed his mother and son too much, but once he returned home and reunited with his mother, Su Luo believed that he was Chen Huaixu.
"It's alright. How are your studies going? Is Grandma alright?"
Yan Chuan didn't expect that Prince Yu would care about these things, but he still said truthfully, "My studies are going well, and my grandmother is in good health."
"That's good!"
At this moment, several children from the academy who were about the same age as Yan Chuan also came out. When they saw Yan Chuan talking to Nangong Chiyu, they happily came over and put their hands on Yan Chuan's shoulders.
"Brother Chuan, is this your dad? He's so tall and imposing! You two look so alike."
After saying that, he nodded to Nangong Chiyu: "Hello, Uncle. We are best buddies from Yanchuan. My name is Chengzhu."
Yan Chuan took his friend's hand away, and a single look from him silenced his friend.
How could the dignified Prince Yu be his father? If he keeps talking nonsense, he might harm his mother.
"He's not..."
Before Yan Chuan could finish speaking, Nangong Chiyu interrupted him, saying...
"Yes, study hard and don't always think about playing."
Perhaps because Nangong Chiyu's tone was not gentle enough, and because he came down from the battlefield with an aura of killing intent, Chengzu walked away in fear.
"Um, Yanchuan, I'm going home. See you tomorrow."
"Um!"
Su Luo saw that the village chief's grandson had also come out, so she took them back together. Li Hongcai had always taken their carriage to and from the academy.
"Let's go home."
Su Zuo was driving Nangong Chiyu's carriage. His carriage was large enough to fit so many people.
The stool was a bit high. After Nangong Chiyu carried Yi Huan and An An up, he tried to carry Yan Chuan, but Yan Chuan dodged away.
If he didn't know the identity of Prince Yu, he would have wasted his time studying.
"No need to trouble yourself, I can go up by myself."
He got into the car himself, and when Brother He saw that Yan Chuan had gotten in by himself, he followed him in. Finally, Li Hongcai and Su Luo got in.
Along the way, Nangong Chiyu found it both amusing and heartbreaking to see his son acting like he was in charge of the household.
He's already learning to manage a household at such a young age.
"Mother, was your journey to the capital smooth? Why didn't Master Xie come back with you?"
Yi Huan sat down next to Yan Chuan, turned to him and pouted, saying, "Brother, ask me! I know a lot of things, and I know a lot of interesting things about the capital."
Yan Chuan turned to look at his younger sister with doting eyes: "Okay! Then tell your brother."
"Um!"
The brother and sister talked about things in the capital along the way. In addition, there were two carriages behind them, one was Su Luo's empty carriage, and the other was Nangong Chiyu's carriage for carrying luggage.
The Akabane army followed behind them, and the group marched into the village in a grand procession.
They lived at the entrance of the village. When they got off the bus, everyone in the village had gone to Chen Ping'an's house to help with the feast. The main feast was tomorrow, so there was no one at the entrance of the village.
Otherwise, seeing so many people entering the village would make them want to come out and see what the commotion was about.
"Yanchuan, go inside and find Su You and Butler Shi to come and help with the things."
"good!"
Nangong Chiyu returned to the village. In his memory, the village was very poor and dilapidated, and the Chen family was not located at the village entrance.
The original Chen family home is now just a wall, with the words "Changping Soy Sauce" still written on it.
Judging from the surrounding walls, there are at least three soy sauce factories here.
There are only three or four old courtyards left in the village. Now every family has built a new house, or at least renovated it.
Changping Village has changed a lot. The dilapidated village of the past is gone. Except for its location and main road, everything else has changed.
"Nangong Chiyu, we're at my house. Come on in, what are you still looking at?"
This is the place where he longs for the taste of perch and water shield; how could he not take a second look?
"good!"
Nangong Chiyu turned around and saw the plaque with the two large characters "Chen Mansion" written on it.
After climbing the steps and entering through the main gate, you can see the courtyard in front. The courtyard is very large, and there is a fish pond in front of the main courtyard.
Above the fishpond is a beautiful and elegant ornamental bridge made of mahogany.
This house looks a bit smaller than his Prince Yu's mansion, but the workmanship is just as good, and it's clear that Su Luo spent a lot of money to build this courtyard.
It's truly admirable that a woman can raise an elderly person and two young children like this.
"Lady Su, Lady Su, you're back."
When Butler Shi heard Yan Chuan calling him, he came out before he could even put down his pen.
"Steward Shi, please arrange for the guests to take the carriage and their belongings to the backyard and put them away. Do it quickly."
"well!"
Steward Shi had the thirty Red Feather Army soldiers follow him, and he arranged for the carriages and accommodations for them.
"Prince Yu, please!"
Yi Huan followed Yan Chuan inside. They said they would put the books away first and then come to see Su Luo.
Su Zuo also went to tidy up the carriage, leaving only Su Luo and Nangong Chiyu at the door.
"Su Luo, did you also buy the foundation for this courtyard?"
Su Luo turned to look at Nangong Chiyu; he could guess that.
"Yes, I bought it from a big brother in this village. Just treat this place as your own home. I'll have Chunhua and Qiuyue prepare a room for you in a bit."
You can live with Yanchuan in the east courtyard. The west courtyard is all women, so it won't be convenient for you."
Nangong Chiyu smiled faintly. She had already brought him home. Did this woman really not know anything?
"Oh, and you, where do you live?"
Su Luo pointed to the main courtyard in front of her: "This is my home, of course I live in the main courtyard."
Su Luo felt as if she were hallucinating, but she thought she saw Nangong Chiyu with a joyful expression.
