Chen Afu remembered that in his previous life, there was a custom that pregnant women could not attend other people's weddings, but it seems that this custom no longer exists here.
She asked, "What about Dabao?"
Chu Lingxuan said, "It's okay for Dabao. Many people would think that Dabao is a burden, and perhaps we are embarrassed to let him meet people openly. We should just go with the flow and not let Dabao meet anyone except for a few families who are very appropriate to let Dabao make friends with their children."
Chen Ahfu said nothing. She didn't like dealing with the ladies in the inner house, but for Chu Lingxuan, she had to practice lady diplomacy in the future.
But thinking of what he said about Dabao being a burden, he felt very uncomfortable. If Dabao was not a prince, would he be disgusted by having a burden?
She turned away unhappily.
After Chu Lingxuan finished speaking, he also knew that his words had hurt Chen Afu. He quickly explained, "Look, you are still angry, I didn't mean anything else. Dabao is the prince, and I only found out after I decided to marry you. I am also carrying a burden, right? Let's make up for it."
This made Chen Ahfu laugh. He turned around and said, "If Dabao wasn't a prince, would you and your family still treat this burden so well? Would you let him hide away from outsiders?"
Chu Lingxuan said, "If Dabao wasn't a prince, he would definitely be treated differently." Seeing Chen Afu's face darken again, he smiled and said, "See how anxious you are. You treat Yan'er like your own daughter, and I will treat Dabao like my own son. If Dabao wasn't a prince, I would let him take my surname Chu, record him in the Chu family ancestral hall, and make him a real descendant of the Chu family. Not only would I not let him hide from people, I would also let him make friends with nobles and children of aristocratic families to pave the way for his future career. Dabao is smart and will definitely pass the imperial examination. In the future, I will use my connections to help him find a good future..."
It was not easy for Chu Lingxuan to consider so much for the burden. Even in the previous life, many men might not do this. Thinking about the little burden in her original life, if she was not a fool, she would feel even more uncomfortable and might even be traumatized after seeing the fickleness of the world. Thinking about the original Dabao, he was the godson of the little burden, and his situation at that time was even more embarrassing and worrying. Her heart ached again, and she felt that she should be better to Dabao.
The next morning, the old doctor who had been checking Chen Afu's pulse was brought in to check her pulse. He said that Chen Afu was in very good health. In order to facilitate childbirth, he also suggested that she move more.
Chen Afu asked someone to pay the medical fee and sent the old doctor away. Hongfeng came again.
Hong Feng said that Madam thanked the eldest aunt for the gift, and the master, the madam, the young lady, and the young master all liked it very much. Especially the wine that the eldest aunt gave her before, Madam liked it very much, and felt that after drinking it, she not only felt energetic, but also slept better. Madam also said that since the family was busy, she would not invite the uncle, the aunt, and the brothers and sisters to play at home. Madam would come to the general's mansion to visit the eldest aunt and the brothers and sisters someday, and asked the eldest aunt not to be offended...
This is a clear message that Chen Afu and his family are not allowed to return to her parents' home.
Not only did Chen Afu not feel surprised, he also thanked him with a smile.
Jiang Shi must be dead set, fearing that Chen Yuhui would cause trouble. Chen Yuhui's power must not be that great, and that old lady Chen must be involved.
Chen Ahfu felt that she was a saint. Her respect for life in her previous life made her hate the shady methods of many backyard mistresses nowadays. She felt that no matter how disgusting someone was, they should not be killed or made to suffer a fate worse than death. But she felt that Jiang was more saintly. People like Old Lady Chen and Chen Yuhui should really be killed or made to suffer a fate worse than death.
Jiang was really afraid of losing Chen Shiying's favor, so she treated his mother and concubine's daughter as her own mother and daughter. No matter how evil they committed, she would not dare to be cruel to them.
When Hong Feng was about to leave, Chen Afu gave her a pair of open gold bracelets. He smiled and said, "I heard that Miss Hong Feng has been engaged. This is my gift to you."
Hongfeng thanked Chen Afu with a red face, and then Qingfeng sent her out.
Chen Ahfu looked at Qingfeng who had sent Hongfeng back. Although he said nothing, there was inquiry in his eyes. Qingfeng's parents, brother and sister-in-law all worked in the Chen residence, and she had a very good relationship with Hongfeng, so she should know what happened.
Qing Feng whispered, "I have always wanted to tell Grandma, but I was afraid that she would think I was too talkative."
Chen Ahfu said, "You are mine, tell me the truth, how can I blame you? Just tell me what's going on."
Qingfeng told everything she knew about Chen Yuhui without any hesitation.
It turned out that Chen Yuhui was very dissatisfied with the in-laws that Jiang had found for her. She felt that Jiang had harmed her and kept crying and making a scene. Chen Shiying scolded her, saying that he had agreed to marry this family and she had to marry. He also said that although this family was not an official, they had money and land, and the future generations and parents-in-law were kind, so she would enjoy a good life if she married into the family.
Chen Yuhui was still unwilling, so he brought the matter to the old lady.
The old lady is in much better health now, and can walk a few steps with crutches. She also cried and made a fuss, saying that Chen Yuhui was the real eldest daughter of the Chen family, and should have been the young lady of the marquisate, but Chen Shiying and Jiang teamed up to arrange this good marriage for Chen Afu. No matter how bad Chen Yuhui is, she can't marry a local rich man in the countryside. Isn't Chen Afu pregnant? Then let Chen Yuhui make a second choice and become Chu Lingxuan's concubine. This matter was proposed by the woman's family, and Chu Lingxuan would definitely agree. Which man doesn't like three wives and four concubines? What's more, Chen Afu grew up in the countryside, and she only pleased Chu Lingxuan temporarily with her appearance. After a long time, her vulgar character will be exposed. If Chen Yuhui, who understands elegance, comes to add fragrance to her, Chu Lingxuan will like it even more...
This made Chen Shiying very angry. He held back his anger and pretended to ask Chen Yuhui if she was willing. Chen Yuhui actually nodded and shyly said yes. Chen Shiying slapped her in the face and asked Jiang to notify the Wei family immediately and arrange the marriage in advance. He also asked someone to keep an eye on the old lady and Chen Yuhui, not to let them meet, not to let Chen Yuhui run around, and not to let them send letters or have others send letters to them.
It was easy to prevent the old lady from going out or delivering letters, but it was not easy to prevent Chen Yuhui from going out or delivering letters. Chen Yuhui had a lot of money and his limbs were intact. Aunt Tang had been running the house for many years. Even if all of Aunt Tang's confidants were killed and sold, there would be people who would find the right opportunity to take advantage of the situation, and Jiang would also fail to notice it.
On the day when the Wei family sent the betrothal gift, Chen Yuhui dressed up as a maid and ran to the front yard. When the first set of betrothal gifts was about to be brought in, she shouted that she was the second daughter of the Chen family and did not want to marry a local rich man, and then she hit her head against the wall.
Of course, she didn't die from the collision, and only had a bump on her forehead. She was pulled back to the inner courtyard by two maids, but the farce was seen by the people who came to watch the fun and the Wei family. Although the Chen family repeatedly emphasized that the person who hit the wall was not the second daughter Chen Yuhui, but just a girl with a confused mind, the Chen and Wei families no longer had the face to be relatives, so the marriage had to be abandoned.
In this way, Chen Yuhui tragically prevented this feudal arranged marriage.
