Chen Afu frowned when he saw the old man Wang's appearance. He was selfish, incompetent, confused and sloppy, but this man was the biological grandfather of this body.
She snorted coldly, "You have raised a good daughter. Although you, as her father, have never taken care of her for a day since she was a child, and have not fulfilled your fatherly obligations, but because you are her father, she has no choice but to ignore you. However, the evil woman who sold my mother and my uncle cannot share my mother's blessing with you. Otherwise, God will not agree."
Old man Wang only heard the first half of the sentence, but not the second half. When he heard that he could enjoy the blessing of his daughter, he grinned and said with a smile, "My daughter is filial, good, good. If I had known earlier, I should have come to ask my daughter earlier..."
At this time, Chen Ming came back from the county town. He saw Ding and Wang Cai making a big fuss at home. After listening to what they said, he was very angry.
Chen Afu pulled him to the west room, and called in Old Lady Chen, Chen Ye and Chen Agui. After they discussed in a low voice for a while, Chen Ming's expression finally looked better.
Half an hour later, there was another noise in the yard. It was Wang's great uncle, Old Man Wang, who was picked up by Xue Dagui in a carriage. He also brought his two sons and two daughters-in-law. When Ding's mother and son saw them coming, they were a little scared. They wanted to go into the house to find Old Man Wang, but were blocked outside. Ding sat on the ground and started howling again. Old Lady Chen, Aunt Mu, Gao and others went over to push her.
The formal negotiations with the Wang family had to be handled by Chen Ming, Chen Ye and Old Lady Chen. She had nothing to do here, so Chen Afu left the main house.
She asked Aunt Mu to prepare more meals, including for the black-hearted mother and son. She also left Xia Yue here to help with the cooking, and Xue Dagui stayed here to send the Wang family back to the village.
The sun had already set and all the people who were watching the excitement at the door had left. Only Wangcai was lying under the tree, looking at Fuyuan with resentment.
At the entrance of Fuyuan, Ah Lu was holding Da Bao, who was on crutches, and standing there, looking towards Luyuan. At their feet stood Zhui Feng and Sa Sa. They had been ordered not to go to Luyuan.
When Dabao saw Chen Afu coming out, he shook off Alu’s hand and ran over here. His little body was extremely agile even with the crutches.
"Mom, mom, where is my grandma?" he shouted.
Chen Afu hugged Dabao who came running over into his arms. Alu who came running over picked up the crutches that Dabao had thrown on the ground and asked, "Sister, is my mother okay?" Worry could not be concealed in his eyes.
Chen Ahfu smiled and said, "It's okay, grandma and uncle are all here. This time we will definitely drive that evil woman Ding out of the Wang family, and she will never disgust mother again."
After hearing this, Dabao and Alu both smiled.
The old marquis and Chu Lingzhi had arrived earlier, and they were talking to Chen Shiying in the room.
Aunt Zeng had already prepared the meal. When she saw Chen Afu coming back, she took Qiuyue to put the wine and food on the table.
The old marquis didn't ask too much about Luyuan, and only said to Chen Ahfu, "If you need help from Tangyuan, just tell Steward Luo directly."
Chen Shiying asked again, "Do you need Daddy's help?"
Chen Ahfu shook his head and said, "They can do it."
After dinner, Lao Hou discussed the situation in the court with Chen Shiying. It was not until dark that they prepared to take the two children back to Tangyuan.
At this time, the noise in Lu Garden became even louder, and a sound like the howling of a pig was heard, which scared Chu Hanyan so much that she burst into tears.
Chen Afu hugged her to comfort her and sent her to the gate of Tangyuan.
A Lu and Da Bao were studying in the study in the east wing, while Chen Shiying and Chen A Fu were talking in the upper room.
There was quite a lot of noise in Luyuan, and Chen Shiying heard a general idea of what was going on. He asked Chen Afu, "Are you going to divorce that Ding?"
Chen Ahfu nodded and said, "Yes. If I don't divorce her, it will be unjust."
Chen Shiying nodded and said, "It's time to divorce that evil woman. She has caused my sister and her brother to suffer so much."
Chen Ahfu glanced at him and sneered, "Ding is hateful, but there are people who are more hateful and worse than her. That person is the source of all my mother's tragedies..." There is much more to it than that. At that time, she also found a man to rape and kill her. It was just that Jin Yanzi told her about this, so she couldn't say it directly. She endured it and said, "She did so many evil things, not only was she not punished, but she still enjoys a life of luxury. Dad, you are the prefect who judges cases, and you are the parent official who punishes evil and promotes good. Tell me, how should we punish this evil person who has lost all conscience?"
Chen Shiying blushed, he knew Chen Ahfu was referring to his mother. He sighed, "Fuer, Dad knows your grandmother did a lot of inappropriate things. However, no matter how bad she is, she is still Dad's mother, your grandmother. There are no parents who are not right in the world. As the younger generation, we should understand her. At the beginning, she also suffered a lot. Our whole family relied on her embroidery skills to support us. It was not easy for her to treat your grandfather's illness and support my studies. Dad has asked someone to keep a close eye on her, and she can't hurt anyone anymore. Besides, her legs and feet are not convenient, so she can't hurt anyone even if she wants to. Fuer, I beg you, don't let her affairs spread. If her affairs are spread back to her hometown, she will not be well, and the reputation of you sisters will be ruined. You have found a good family, but you still have several sisters, you have to think about them..."
Chen Afu looked at the blushing Chen Shiying and did not talk about the past. He only said that he knew clearly about the last time when that old hag hired a man to rape and kill him, but he was still so biased towards her.
Chen Ahfu said softly, "Dad, I often think that it might be a good thing that my mother didn't marry you. It's even better that I wasn't born in your family..."
Chen Shiying's face turned even redder, and he moved his mouth but no words came out.
Chen Afu continued, "My mother married my father and she had to support the whole family by herself. Our family was very poor and we didn't have enough to eat or wear. But our family was harmonious and warm, and we lived happily. Although Chen Ming's father was too sick to get out of bed, he was very good to my mother and me. He would not allow others to wrong us, nor would he condone others to bully us. There was also an old lady named Chen in that family. I called her grandma. She knew that I was not her granddaughter. She was also vulgar, calculating, and money-loving, but she never thought of harming me or using me, a granddaughter who was not related to her by blood. To exchange for money and benefits. But what did your mother, my grandmother, do? She thought my mother was hindering you from finding a daughter from a rich family, so she drove my mother out of your house and asked Ding to sell my mother to the mountains. Knowing that there was someone like me in this world, she was afraid that I would tell Tangyuan about her bad deeds, so she bribed the eldest wife of the Chen family to force me to marry off. And there’s more…” She held back and didn’t say that, then continued, “If my mother really married you, would she be able to have a good life? If I were born in your family, without my mother’s guidance, even if I wasn’t killed by her, she would teach me to be as bad as Chen Yuhui…”
