Watching Su Luo's departing figure, Nangong Chiyu pondered. Since she didn't like Nangong Qing, he still had a chance.
Time will tell. He believed that one day Su Luo would see his feelings. They had a child together and were a family. This was already an excellent opportunity.
Su Luo slept very well that night, and the entire Chen family was in high spirits. Only Nangong Chiyu had nightmares and couldn't sleep because he had too many things on his mind. So he just stood guard outside Su Luo's door.
The next day, Su Luo got up and opened the door, only to see him standing there, his eyes filled with weariness.
"Luo Luo, I've thought it over. I agree to what you said."
That's right!
"It's good that you've figured it out!"
Su Luo came out and took him to the study. They wrote down all the conditions they had mentioned the night before into a contract, which they signed, making two copies.
"Alright, let's work together from now on and make our family life better. If you meet someone you like, what I said last night still stands."
Nangong Chiyu put the contract away. He thought about it all night and decided that instead of arguing with Su Luo, he should use this delaying tactic.
“What I said is true, Princess Yu.”
This address made Su Luo feel very uncomfortable: "Nangong Chiyu, we are a couple in name only. Don't address me like that in the village."
Nangong Chiyu thought about it and realized that there were many elders in the village, and no one else knew his identity.
"Alright! Then call me Madam, and when we get to the capital, call me Princess."
According to the contract, it wasn't wrong for Nangong Chiyu to address her that way, but Su Luo still wasn't used to it.
"Call me by my name when we are alone."
"Okay, Luo Luo!"
Su Luo choked. She knew he liked her, but even when he called her name, she felt it wasn't genuine.
Oh well, let it be.
The two were in the study when Qiuyue came over after a while.
"Madam, Master, the Old Madam invites you to come over for breakfast."
Qiuyue kept her head down. Last night, the old lady was overjoyed and gave rewards to all the servants in the mansion.
He also told them that this was the master, the current Prince Yu, and instructed them to address the prince as "Master" in the village.
"Alright! Tell the old lady we're coming right away."
When they arrived at the hall, Zhao Ruyun and Yan Chuan Yi Huan were already there, and the servants had prepared breakfast.
If someone in the village is having a wedding, they can have breakfast in the village, but Yan Chuan has to go to the academy after breakfast, so they usually eat breakfast at home to save time.
"Luo Luo, Huai Xu, please sit down. Aunt Dong and I made all of this together."
Zhao Ruyun started waving as soon as the two appeared at the door.
Yan Chuan and Yi Huan are still unaware of the current relationship between their mother and Prince Yu.
Nangong Chiyu pulled out a chair for Su Luo and let her sit down next to him.
Today's breakfast was exceptionally simple, with dumplings that Su Luo liked, two boiled eggs in each person's bowl, and an egg pancake.
"Luo Luo, I made these dumplings and egg pancakes. Aren't they your favorites? Eat up."
After Zhao Ruyun finished speaking, she turned to Nangong Chiyu and said, "And these boiled eggs are Huai Xu's favorite food. Eat up, there's more if you want."
We were poor before, and there wasn't much food at home. The only thing we could eat occasionally was eggs.
When we were kids, the brothers would fight over eggs. With the eldest son of the Chen family around, Huai Xu could never beat Meng Qing in getting eggs.
They could only watch longingly as they were given one or two eggs to eat, only during holidays like Chinese New Year.
He remembered Huai Xu saying that the most delicious thing he had ever eaten in his life was an egg.
"Thank you, Mother!"
While eating breakfast, Zhao Ruyun spoke to the two of them.
"Huai Xu, you rested well last night. Today is your uncle's child's one-month celebration. After dinner, you should go and help out."
After not seeing his son for many years, he returned this time transformed into Prince Yu, second only to the emperor.
Zhao Ruyun was still afraid that he would forget his original intention, so she reasoned with him.
“Huai Xu, your uncle has taken care of us all these years. I hope that no matter what your status is, you will remember this kindness.”
Nangong Chiyu nodded, saying that matters of the village and matters of the imperial court could not be compared, especially matters of human relationships.
"I understand, Mother. I will go myself and not ask anyone else to help me."
Although with his current status, he could easily arrange the full moon celebration for Chen Ping'an with just a word.
But he can't do that, or others will think he's showing off.
"Grandma, I'll go to my brother-in-law's house later to wash the vegetables for them," Su Luo said, taking a bite of her egg pancake.
However, Zhao Ruyun laughed, "Luo Luo, the village chief and others asked me about you yesterday. If you go there, the villagers will definitely talk to you about the soy sauce factory."
While you were away, every household in the village made a lot of money and is waiting for you to come back so they can share in the joy.
If you go over there later, the villagers will do your part without you having to lift a finger.
Luckily you came back last night, no one knew, otherwise our house would have been completely surrounded, hehe..."
Zhao Ruyun now feels that no one in this world has a better life than her.
The son returns home with a successful career, and the daughter-in-law is also thriving.
Her grandchildren are clever and adorable, and she would be content even in death if she had stayed by their side.
"It's good that everyone is well, but my uncle's family's happy occasion is more important. We'll talk to the village chief and the others about it after the ceremony."
After finishing breakfast, Brother He tidied up his books and writing materials and came to wait for Yan Chuan.
Yan Chuan stood up, clasped his hands in greeting to Zhao Ruyun and Su Luo, and bowed, saying, "Grandma, Mother, I'm going to the academy."
Zhao Ruyun smiled and nodded, then handed Yan Chuan the two eggs he hadn't eaten yet.
"Be careful on the road. Take these two eggs with you and eat them on the way. One for you and one for Brother He."
"good!"
He Ge also bowed, saying, "Thank you, Madam."
After saying goodbye and turning around, Su Luo called Yan Chuan back.
"Chuan Chuan, Huan Huan, come here."
The two children walked up to Su Luo and stood still, wondering why their mother had suddenly called them.
"Mother, is there anything else?"
Su Luo stood up, glanced at Nangong Chiyu out of the corner of her eye, and said seriously to the two children.
"Go and pay your respects to your father and take your leave!"
Yan Chuan and Yi Huan exchanged a glance, then looked at Su Luo with surprise.
The fact that Mother personally instructed them to pay their respects to Prince Yu means that they have agreed that the family can be together from now on.
Overjoyed, the two children walked together to Nangong Chiyu's side and said in unison.
"Your child greets Father!"
They finally have a father; they no longer need to envy others.
"You must study hard. I will check your homework when I have some free time tonight."
"yes!"
"Go ahead, but drive carefully."
At this moment, Yan Chuan finally put aside his unnecessary worries. It seemed that his parents would not cause trouble and get a divorce.
Their family can finally be reunited and stay together forever.
