Chapter 308: No child of the Yun family can suffer
Seeing that she hesitated and did not answer immediately, Xia He became anxious.
"Madam, that little bitch Qiuyu must have done this on purpose, just to provoke us to go back! We must not be fooled!"
Yin Qianxue's lips moved, and she finally sighed softly: "How could I not know that?"
But if she really didn't go back, and something happened to Liu Rumei, she would definitely be framed in front of Chen Huan.
Now the bandits on the northeastern border are ready to make a move again. Chen Huan spends the whole day discussing the deployment of defenses with Captain Fei. If Liu Rumei brings this little matter at home to him again, it will only make him feel that he is incompetent in managing the household and cause him trouble, and there will be no benefit at all.
"Mrs. Chen, I think Xia He is right." He Chunxiu patted her hand gently and advised.
"If that Concubine Liu really has some tricks waiting for you, she will be helpless if you don't go back. Qiuyu's words are just to scare you."
"Really?" Yin Qianxue's eyes were red, and she looked at He Chunxiu with a pitiful and helpless look.
He Chunxiu nodded: "Whether it is true or not, I believe Madam has already figured it out. Otherwise, you wouldn't have made up your mind to bring Xia He out."
Yin Qianxue stopped talking.
Liu Rumei was a cunning person. She had previously used oleander to frame herself in front of Chen Huan. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and found the flaw.
Now that Liu Rumei is pregnant, Chen Huan is busy with the border banditry and seldom goes home. She is afraid that Liu Rumei will cause trouble again, so she simply comes out to relax and find some peace and quiet.
I thought that since I was not at home, Liu Rumei would be quiet, but I didn't expect that this woman would ask Qiuyu to find her all the way here.
"I...I understand," Yin Qianxue's voice was gentle and soft, "Thank you, Sister He."
"I'm tired today, so Xia He and I will go back first. Big sister, please take the children home early."
"Well," He Chunxiu stood up and saw her off, "Mrs. Chen, go back and have a good rest. Maybe after a good night's sleep, you'll be able to make up your mind."
"Okay." Yin Qianxue responded and left with Xia He.
He Chunxiu held her waist and leaned against the door, watching the two people's backs slowly lengthen and finally disappear at the entrance of the alley.
Baoya stood beside her, pulled her sleeve and asked, "Mom, how do you know so much?"
It seemed to be clearer than what Mrs. Chen could see herself.
He Chunxiu looked down at her, smiled kindly, and stroked her little hair: "Mother, this is not understanding, this is called a bystander seeing more clearly."
"So what did Third Aunt find out?" Yun Yue also interrupted.
"This Madam Chen must be from a wealthy family and must be very favored at home. She married into our prefectural government and encountered a concubine who was scheming and causing trouble every day. She didn't know how to deal with it, but she didn't want her husband to think she was useless. Since there were always troubles in the harem, she had no choice but to hide away to prevent that concubine Liu from causing trouble."
"She's really pitiful then."
Baoya thought about how Qiuyu had just come looking for trouble with a glare on her face, and she felt that Mrs. Chen had a difficult life.
She is the legal wife, but she is bullied by a concubine and has to hide away from the crowd.
"That's right." Yunyue also said, "But if I were her, I definitely wouldn't leave by myself."
"What does Fourth Sister want to do?" Baoya was very curious.
Yun Yue patted her chest and said, "Of course I'll let that concubine go! I'm the principal wife, why should I hide from her?"
"If she dares to act like a demon, I'll find someone to look after her! Tell her to recuperate in her own little courtyard every day and not to come out!"
"Otherwise, we could just find her a house outside and send a few doctors and maids to take turns watching her. We'll see what tricks she can come up with!"
"Well, this is a good idea," Baoya blinked, "next time when Madam Chen comes, we'll teach her this way."
He Chunxiu shook her head and smiled, "Yueya, you won't suffer any loss at all."
"Of course!" Yun Yue held her little head high, a proud look on her face. "Not only will I not suffer any loss, no child in our Yun family should suffer any loss!"
"Hahahaha!" He Chunxiu and Baoya were both amused by her.
They were chatting animatedly when Yun Sanlang harnessed the ox cart and came to take them home.
The old ox pulled a few people out of the town and walked slowly on the country road. The ox's hooves clattered lightly, leaving the last rays of sunset far behind.
The next morning, before going to the academy, Baoya and Yunyue went to Grandma Yu's house again. The little rabbit had been sent there a few days ago, and they wanted to see how Grandma and her family were doing.
The carriage stopped at the entrance of a small alley on Nanjiao Street. The curtains were half lifted, and Jingzhen sat in the carriage with his eyes closed to rest.
Ling An sat outside the carriage, holding a whip in one hand and gently combing the horse's mane with the other.
"Your Highness, Captain Fei has taken over the guarding of the northeastern border." He said suddenly.
Captain Fei Meng was a subordinate of Heshun King Ye Jinghua.
"Hmm." Jing Zhen let out a soft hum, his eyelashes trembled but did not open.
"Should I..." He wanted to say, should I go back to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and be on guard?
After all, if Prince Heshun's men start to take action, Prince Heshun may return to Beijing at any time.
But before he could finish his words, Jing Zhen interrupted him: "I'm afraid his master won't be able to be transferred back for a while, and he volunteered just to show off in front of the old man."
"It's a pity he doesn't know that the more he does this, the more wary the old man will be. It will only make the old man look down on his master."
"oh."
The horse's mane was combed smooth, and Ling An responded with a muffled sound.
Jing Zhen's eyes were still closed, but a faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "Why, testing me?"
"I dare not." Ling An lowered his voice.
"Oh, you are not mine, what is there to be afraid of?"
Ling An did not reply. The carriage was quiet for a moment, with only the shallow breathing of the two people being heard.
The curled eyelashes trembled slightly, and Jingzhen slowly opened his eyes.
He looked at Ling An's straight yet slightly frail figure outside the carriage and said, "Don't worry, since Big Brother sent you here, I won't let you go back."
The person sitting in the front didn't react at all.
Jing Zhen narrowed his eyes, somewhat incredulous: "Are you... worried about my elder brother?"
Ling An pursed his lips and nodded.
Although he has left the prince now, he is still the person he once protected.
And His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a really nice person.
He is upright and elegant, treats people kindly, and knows when to advance and retreat. However, he is not strong enough, otherwise the number of people talking about him in the court would be reduced by half.
On the other side, Baoya and Yunyue were let into the yard by Qianqiong. They were squatting in the yard with Yunhua and Grandma Yu, feeding the rabbits around the cage.
In a cage woven from bamboo strips, two plump white rabbits squatted side by side, their little mouths moving rapidly, and soon they squeezed a noodle in.
Granny Yu looked at the two rabbits eating happily and laughed, "These two little guys are not picky about food. They are willing to eat whatever I feed them."
