Chu Lingxuan said, "If I can't protect my wife, what's the point of marrying her! Don't worry, mother, I have a way to prevent her from entering the princess's mansion. Even before the situation becomes clear, I won't let her stay in the Marquis' Mansion in the capital." He laughed again, "From what I know, this girl is not someone who can be manipulated by others."
Lechen said, "This is perfect. The happiest person is Yan'er. However, she was born into a commoner family, which is fine. The key is that she has a son. How can this be explained to the public? In addition, she is Chen Shiying's biological daughter, but she has not acknowledged her ancestors, and Chen Shiying's mother has acted like this... All these may become handles for the enemy to attack you. Have you considered this?"
Chu Lingxuan said coldly, "After so many changes, my son has let it go. As for status, my mother's status is not low, but she was forced to become a nun. Now, my father is a concubine, my mother is a nun, my daughter is stupid, and I have hidden in Dingzhou. As long as that woman gives birth to a son, my position as the prince may be lost, and the Marquis's Mansion will be in a mess... Mother, tell me, is there any good family in the capital willing to marry their daughter to me? Otherwise, then Mother Chen would not dare to ask someone to marry her ugly concubine's eldest daughter to me. As for those things about Miss Chen, others can laugh at her if they want to, and others have seen our family's jokes a lot.
"It may be the best choice for my son to find such a girl with no background and hide far away in the countryside. Besides, she is the first girl that my son really wants to marry since he grew up. She is smart, kind, and really good to Yan'er. My son can rest assured to leave the family to her to take care of, so that he can do great things outside. I have talked to my grandfather before, and my grandfather agreed. As for Dabao, it is easy to deal with. Before marrying her, I will first recognize Dabao as my adopted son. These are not problems. The only tricky thing now is her background. If she is really from a commoner family, it would be easy to deal with. But she is the daughter of Chen Shiying. Through contact, I think Chen Shiying is a decent person, at least he will not be a burden to me. But his mother is too annoying, and she is scheming everywhere. I am afraid that she will get into trouble... Yesterday, I sent someone to tell Lord Chen about what Chen's mother did. Lord Chen made a special trip to the General's Mansion to apologize to me, saying that he would go back to "serve" his mother well..."
Lechen's tears flowed, "It's all your mother's fault."
Chu Lingxuan said, "What does this have to do with mother? It's because that woman has always been thinking about dad. In order to eliminate the traitors and prevent us from becoming the Ninth Prince's helpers and stripping dad of his power, the Second Prince teamed up with that woman to frame dad... That's why the family was torn apart."
Lechen said, "Your grandfather and father used to say that although the second prince was born in the imperial palace, he was brave but not wise, stubborn and self-righteous, and was not favored by the emperor. But what he did later was..."
"Alas, it was grandfather and father who made a mistake. The second prince is not only brave and resourceful, but also cruel and ruthless... I don't know why he hates the ninth prince and our Chu family so much. Although I was a companion to the ninth prince when I was young, our Chu family had not yet taken sides and had no grudge against the second prince. Because the ninth prince was young and his family was not strong, he did not participate in the fight between the adult princes. But he was assassinated and fell off the cliff that time. Everyone guessed that it was the third prince or the fifth prince who did it. He did not attack the two princes, but suddenly joined forces with the mother and daughter of Concubine Shu to plot against my father, and secretly crippled the ninth prince's leg..." He paused, and his voice became lighter, "Now that the emperor is getting older, he is more and more suspicious, but the second prince can do everything to his heart's content..."
February 29th was an auspicious day for Chen Ahfu and his mother to move. Their valuables had been taken away yesterday. Except for Aunt Mu who would continue to live in Luyuan, all other servants would move to Fuyuan, and their belongings had been moved there last night.
Early in the morning, A-Lu started to wipe his tears again, he couldn't bear to leave his sister and nephew. He felt that this time his sister moved away, and they were no longer a family.
Chen Afu held him in his arms and persuaded him for a long time, and promised that he would stay in Fuyuan today as well, and only then did he give up.
However, Chen Ming promised to come back soon, but for some reason he did not come back, which made Chen Afu and Wang Shi feel a little worried.
Chen Ahfu led Dabao into Fuyuan first, followed by Wang Shi carrying a set of white porcelain bowls with blue and white patterns, and Ah Lu holding a bag of fine rice. Behind them followed Zhuifeng and Wangcai, Qiqi and Huihui stood on the backs of two dogs, and Jinyanzi went to the west forest to play and had not returned yet.
They went straight to the living room of the upper house. Chen Ahfu lived in the east room of the upper house, and the west room was the living room. Behind the east room was a side building, which was Chen Ahfu's private bathroom. There were two side rooms. The east side room was used as Chen Ahfu's small study and studio, and the west side room was where Xia Yue and Qiu Yue stayed when they were on night duty.
The three main rooms in the east wing will be used as Dabao's bedroom and study in the future, and are now temporarily used as guest rooms. The north room is the bedroom of the animal home, which is decorated according to their preferences and habits. The south room is the dining room.
The three main rooms and two side rooms in the west wing are connected, and it serves as a classroom and activity room for children.
The back building is usually the kitchen and warehouse, and there is another room where old man Zeng lives.
The other servants lived in the back room.
Chen Afu has bought a long and narrow piece of vacant land behind Fuyuan and Luyuan. He will build a row of houses here to house the servants who have married.
After they entered the house, they opened the lattice windows, and the room immediately became bright. The spring breeze blew the fresh fragrance of the leaves into the house, which was extremely pleasant.
Later, Chen Agui arrived, carrying a bag of flour. With him came Hu Laowu's family. The Hu family presented a pair of large blue and white vases, which were of average quality but were considered good items in the countryside.
Hu Laowu smiled and said, "I heard from Agui that you were moving today, so I brought my family to congratulate you. We are relatives, so how can we be absent from Afu's housewarming celebration?"
Although Chen Ahfu disliked him, he didn't want to hit someone who smiled at him, not to mention that he was here to congratulate them on moving to a new home. He smiled and said, "Welcome Uncle Hu and Aunt Hu. I was afraid you were too busy before so I didn't dare to come to your house. I'm so happy that you can come."
Hu Cuicui looked around and said in surprise, "Sister Ah Fu, your house is much better looking than my fourth uncle's."
Hu Wei glanced at Chen Afu and immediately looked away.
Then Wu Changgen's wife came with her son Xiao Shitou and daughter Wu Xiaoqing. There was also a young woman with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a strong waist, and she looked like a good worker.
Changgen's wife smiled and said, "This is Changsheng's wife. She just got married and is unfamiliar with the place. Today I brought her here to get acquainted with the place."
Wu Changsheng got married last month. Although Chen Afu did not go, he asked Wang to take his gift with him.
