Chapter 44 Returning to My Mother's Home



Prince Jin pouted and said, "Third brother, you are not studying medicine, what's the point of reading books?"

"She can't understand it! It's not Chinese!" Chu Younan said.

"Let me take a look!" Prince Jin said coquettishly.

Chu Younan curled his lips, took out a book and handed it to him, saying, "You can't understand it either, it's written in Miao language."

Prince Jin took it and started to read it. Su Bei also came over with a curious look on his face. After a while, Prince Jin pouted and said, "Who can understand this thing?"

"I told you I don't understand!" Chu Younan chuckled, "Let's pick something else!"

But Su Bei suddenly spoke up, "I can understand."

The two men's eyes immediately shifted to her face, and Su Bei laughed awkwardly and said, "I can understand the words above, but I can't quite understand them when they are put together."

"Can you speak Miao language?" Chu Younan asked hurriedly.

Su Bei hesitated for a moment and said, "I think someone taught me when I was a child, but I forgot."

But Chu Younan heard her inner voice: A teammate once taught me to recognize this kind of characters, and I didn’t expect it to be the same as the Miao language here. It seems that the Miao language has not changed for thousands of years.

He thought: I heard that this book covers everything, but unfortunately no one close to it can understand it. Now it’s good! Before he could say anything, Prince Jin said with a look of joy: "Then how about this, you translate this book and I will give Jinrong a copy!"

Su Bei was even more embarrassed, "I...I can't write."

The characters in this place are somewhat different from theirs. She can only recognize half of most of them. The original owner seems to have never learned to read, so she can't even read them, let alone write them.

Prince Jin smiled and said, "That's not difficult, I can do it! Come to my house, and we will..."

"No!" Chu Younan suddenly said, "I can write, too. You give me the dagger first, and I'll give you a copy of the medical book after Abei and I finish translating it."

"You are busy with official duties..."

"I'm free tonight!"

Prince Jin suddenly realized that Chu Younan was afraid that Su Bei would go to his house, so he smiled secretly and said, "Third brother, be careful that your sister-in-law will get jealous!"

"Take your dagger and go!" Chu Younan frowned.

Prince Jin said, "Third brother asked Ah Bei to come down, but he didn't let him pick anything. Aren't you just jealous of him?"

Chu Younan turned to look at Su Bei and said, "Go and see what you want and pick one."

Su Bei's eyes fell on his hand, where he was holding a chewy Tai Sui. He treasured that thing so much, so it could probably sell for a lot of silver, right? When she left the house, she could sell the Tai Sui, so wouldn't she be able to buy a shop on half a street? It should be more than 10,000 taels, right? Chu Younan tightened his grip on Tai Sui's hand and said, "No, I can't give it to you. If you don't want anything else, then..."

"I want that!" Su Bei pointed at the plate with the night pearl. Now that I'm here, how can I go back empty-handed? It's really inconvenient to rely on candles to light this place.

Chu Younan walked to the table, grabbed a handful, but then put it down and pinched one for her.

He is indeed a stingy person! Su Bei thought to himself.

Chu Younan was immediately upset. Although the night pearls were of average quality, if Mrs. Mo knew that he gave so many to Ah Bei, Ah Bei's life would be difficult. Who knew that she actually thought that he was stingy...

The few of them followed the same route back to the bedroom, and saw a white porcelain basin with lotus flowers on the table. Chu Younan put the Tai Sui in it, and then said to Su Bei: "Starting tonight, you will come to Lingfeng Pavilion again."

Prince Jin on the side couldn't help laughing, "Brother, I didn't say you can't pamper her, but how will my sister-in-law feel?"

Su Bei also hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, this is against the rules. If the princess knew, she would definitely be unhappy." Why did she want to come to Lingfeng Pavilion? She just wanted them to get well soon, so that she could get well.

Chu Younan changed his mind and said, "Guizi! Send the Dongzhu to the princess!"

Then he said, "Abei, you go back first. I will go to the princess's place for dinner tonight and I will talk to her myself."

Su Bei agreed, thinking to himself: OK, the princess will definitely be happy again as she is rewarded with gifts and has a meal together!

In the evening, when Chu Younan went to have dinner, Mrs. Mo was naturally ecstatic. Because of Nanny Gui's matter, she thought Chu Younan was angry with her and had not come for days.

"Abei! Thanks to you!" Mrs. Mo excitedly got up to put on her makeup, and took out a pair of jade earrings from her jewelry box and handed them to her, "The prince said that green suits you, so wear these earrings!"

Su Bei took it and looked at the earrings. She found that the green color did look pretty nice. As long as she wasn't given a green hat or a green headscarf, anything else was fine!

But Chu Younan came to have dinner but did not stay overnight. He also told Mrs. Mo that Su Bei wanted to help him pack some things and he would stay in Lingfeng Pavilion from tonight.

Mrs. Mo's mood suddenly sank again.

The next day, when Chu Younan went to the army, she took Adong and Abei back to the general's mansion.

Her mother, An, was originally a concubine, and she was very proud to have raised a daughter who became the queen. When she saw Mo coming back, she was so proud that she almost got cocky. She asked the kitchen to prepare meals for her separately, and then asked the maid to deliver the things that Mo brought back to the other concubines. She was the one who smiled the happiest in the whole palace today.

In this way, the mother and daughter only have some time alone together in the afternoon.

An took Mo's hand and sat down, then said, "You all go down, I want to have a private conversation with the princess!"

Just as Su Bei was about to follow An's maid out, he heard Mo say, "A Bei, please stay. She is not an outsider. We are in the palace thanks to her."

Mrs. Mo was puzzled, so she said, "Why? Are the other maids not satisfying? Then talk to Prince Su and ask him to buy you a few more servants. You are the principal wife now, and you must have at least a dozen or twenty people serving you!"

It would have been fine if she hadn't said anything. But once she did, Madam Mo couldn't hold back her sadness. She wiped her eyes and said, "There weren't even a dozen or twenty of them. There were only four I brought with me. Madam Gui was even punished and can't even get up right now."

An frowned, "Is Prince Su so stingy? Wasn't he very kind to you before, eager to marry you as soon as possible?"

"Oh!" Mrs. Mo sighed heavily, not knowing where to start.

An asked hurriedly, "What happened? Tell me so I can help you with some advice! Is the prince going to take a concubine? Is he going to take a concubine? I'm telling you, you should know that you are a concubine, and it's hard to be a concubine. But since Prince Su favors you, you have to be tolerant!"

"How am I not tolerant? If he wants to take a concubine, I will definitely help him, but he... Alas!" Mo sighed again. It has been almost two months since the wedding, and they haven't even consummated the marriage yet. How can she say this? "What's wrong with him? Tell me! I'm so worried!" An turned around and saw Su Bei. She said, "Abei, tell me, what happened?"
