Not only did those people blush, but even Chen Ming blushed.
Old Madam Chen was almost mad, and she shouted, "How dare you, a girl say anything, it's really..." She tried hard to suppress the words she wanted to curse, and then she said with a breath, "Don't worry, I have thought about these things, and I will definitely give you a good status and won't let you suffer any grievances." She pointed at Aunt Tang and said, "This is Aunt Tang. Although she is not your father's wife, she is a concubine, and her status is second only to the lady. Tell the outside world that you are her biological daughter, and Hui'er is a twin daughter, but you were born weak and sickly, so we had to send you to a nunnery to be raised. Now that you are well, we will take you home. You must get along well with Hui'er in the future, and have a deep sisterly love."
Chen Ahfu found out the old lady's plan and was even more furious. The damn old woman really had a good plan. She snorted, "Do you think I'm stupid? Miss Chen and I look like a world apart. No matter how bad people's eyesight is, they won't mistake us for twins." Then she understood, "Oh, I see. You must be afraid of the Chu family and want to trick me out with wealth and glory. Given the huge difference in appearance between Miss Chen and I, you will definitely not take me to the mansion, but will trap me in the other courtyard. Then, you can do whatever you want to me. Leaving such a good home to suffer with you? Unless I'm crazy."
It must be said that Old Mrs. Chen did have a good idea. She wanted to use this excuse to move Chen Afu to another courtyard.
At first, she didn't expect Tangyuan to protect Chen Afu so much, which made Zhao Lizheng do those things. When Zhao Lizheng went back and told her what Luo Guanshi, the county magistrate and the county lieutenant said, she realized that even in her son's territory, she couldn't beat Tangyuan, and her son couldn't beat the Chu family, so she gave up her previous thoughts.
But she really didn't want Wang's daughter to get too close to the Chu family. She was always afraid that what she had done before would be known by the Chu family. Besides, she still had that thought in mind. If Chen Afu caused any trouble, then the matter would not be accomplished.
Especially after hearing that Chen Afu looked very much like his son, he was even more reluctant to let Chen Afu show up in public with that face. It was like a living storybook, and he didn't know how others would write about his son and himself.
Then she thought, I can't force her, right? Then she would let Chen Afu leave Tangyuan on his own initiative and follow her back to "home", then Tangyuan would have no control over him. In her opinion, a poor girl from the countryside would be eager to follow her when she heard about her biological father's wealth.
Of course, she would not really take that girl to her home. Just as Chen Afu said, Chen Afu and Chen Yuhui looked too different. She just wanted to arrange Chen Afu in the other courtyard...
Old Mrs. Chen never dreamed that she would be tricked by this stinky girl and be led by her to tell her all her plans step by step. She also didn't expect that this stinky girl was so powerful that she was not attracted by wealth and fame, and her words were sharper than knives and could make people angry to death.
This damn girl, even if my son finds out the truth and wants to take her in, he won’t be able to do so. I will be mad to death facing her every day.
Aunt Tang and Chen Yuhui both had the same idea. If Chen Afu entered the Chen Mansion, their lives would be miserable.
Old Mrs. Chen had made up her mind, but she still said, "Ahfu, don't act on impulse and ruin your future. Come home with me and become the prefect's daughter. You will have a good marriage and will be rich forever." She waved her hand again, and the maid behind her took the box she had been holding and placed it in front of Chen Ming. She opened it, and there were several rows of silver ingots neatly stacked inside.
Old Mrs. Chen added, "Chen Ming, thank you for helping me raise my granddaughter. This hundred taels of silver is our gift to you. You can use it to buy some land, and your family will have no worries about food and clothing in the future."
Chen Ming shook his head and said, "I don't want your money. Ah Fu is the daughter that Juan Niang gave birth to me. I like this daughter and it is right for me to raise her. No matter who Ah Fu lives with in the future, she will always be my own daughter in my heart, a daughter that no amount of money can buy." When he said the last part, his voice choked up.
Chen Ahfu pulled his sleeve and said, "Dad, of course I am your biological daughter. In this world, I only have one father, and that is you." She looked up at Old Lady Chen and said, "Old Lady Chen, just put away your thoughts. If I really go with you, whether I live in the mansion or in the other courtyard, even if you don't kill me, these two people will kill me." She pointed at Aunt Tang and Chen Yuhui who were glaring at her, "Look at them, they are so eager to kill me with their eyes now, not to mention that you have them in your hands. If there are three people in my family who want me dead, how dare I go back?"
After a pause, she continued, "Oh, I said the wrong thing. You won't let me die. You will sell me to someone who can help your son get promoted or make you rich, so that I would rather die than live... Really, you have thought of all the good things. Just like when you bought my mother home to help you with work and take care of your son, and when you were done with her, you kicked her out. Then you climbed up to the Tang family, got money from them, and then stepped on the Tang family and climbed up to the Jiang family who are officials... Old lady, although you come from the countryside, you have a good plan. It's just that I can't be your pawn as you wish. Let me tell you, with your wild duck brain, you are not capable of manipulating me."
Old Mrs. Chen was so angry that she shook herself. She pointed at Chen Ahfu and cursed, "You little bitch, you, you are such a traitor!"
Chen Ahfu rolled his eyes, with a smug look on his face, and continued, "Old lady, I advise you to be smart and stop making trouble. I am not as honest as my mother, you can control me. Now, you can't control me and my mother, our backers are stronger than yours. If you didn't do bad things at the beginning, we would not interfere with each other, and my mother would not be impatient to tell you about the bad things you and the old Tang family did, and others would be even more lazy to care about the bad things in your family. But you are guilty and want to hurt others. You are humiliating yourself and making your own way out. I don't know if your son has returned from the capital. I heard that someone is ready to go to him to thank you for your concern for Tangyuan. He will also make a special trip to the capital to meet your relative, Lord Jiang, to thank you for your long-term hand..."
Old Mrs. Chen was angry and afraid. She was angry because this damn girl was mean and hateful, but she couldn't control her. She was afraid that if someone really told her son or his in-laws about these things, her son and daughter-in-law would become even more alienated from her. She felt dizzy, her face turned pale, and her body swayed again.
She pointed at Chen Ahfu with a trembling hand and cursed, "You are such a traitor, such a traitor, you little bitch, you are so disobedient and unfilial, sooner or later God will take you away."
