Seeing He Linsheng like this, Chen Yuhui was moved. She was too embarrassed to tell others that she had been married to He Linsheng for so long, but he only had sex with her on the first day of their marriage. After that, she saw him lingering among the beautiful concubines and maids, and she was so angry that she found excuses to deal with those women. Because of this, she often had dirty fights with He Linsheng, and even had a fight.
She tacitly allowed him to sit down and let him bring some snacks. He filled her glass with wine, persuaded her gently, held her hand and begged her to forgive him, saying that he would treat her well forever. She was inexplicably moved. It turned out that he had this side. It turned out that he was as gentle as Chu Lingxuan.
When he carried her to the bed, she was still conscious. Although she knew that it was useless to resist, she had to admit later that she had never thought of resisting that night...
Chen Yuhui touched her belly. For the sake of her child and her future life, she had to endure this. She felt that if she could save the He family and prevent her father-in-law from being demoted, not only would the He family owe her, but He Linsheng would also treat her and her child well for the rest of his life. Therefore, she had to ask Chen Afu for help.
She had not come to ask Chen Afu for help before because she felt that her father had a bright future and would find a way to save her. But now that she had a child, she couldn't bear to let He Lin give birth to him, so she had to ask Chen Afu for help. She knew that only Chen Afu could save the He family, not her father.
When Mrs. He saw Chen Yuhui's expression, she knew that she would go to Chen Afu for help, and she couldn't help but smile. Since she knew about the second prince's rebellion, she had been begging Chen Yuhui every day, hoping that she would go to the Chu family to ask Chen Afu for help. But this Chen not only had a long face, but also had a stubborn temper like a donkey. No matter what she said, she just wouldn't listen.
Or her husband came up with an idea to let her son give her a child. Having a child would not only tie her down more firmly, but also make her willing to do many things...
After lunch, they watched a play as usual. It was cold now, so the stage was set up in the spacious Furong Hall, where the guests watched. Chen Ahfu never liked watching plays, but he couldn't leave, so he went to the side room to rest.
As soon as she entered the room, Chen Yuhui followed in.
Chen Yuhui suddenly knelt in front of Chen Afu, which frightened Chen Afu. He quickly supported her and said, "Second sister, you are pregnant, how can you be so reckless! If you have something to say, please speak up."
Chen Yuhui didn't get up. She held Chen Afu's hand and said, "Sister, please save me. It turns out that it was my fault. I did something that made me angry. I know I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. Sister, no matter what, we are sisters. We have the same blood. Sister, please save my father-in-law..."
Chen Afu frowned and said, "Second sister, Lord He is a third-rank official in the court, and I am just a woman in the inner house. Even if he commits a crime, how can I save him?"
Chen Yuhui said, "You are the adopted mother of His Highness the Eleventh. His Highness the Eleventh is the Crown Prince's biological brother. I heard that he is also very much loved by the Emperor. If he helps to intercede, the Emperor and the Crown Prince will listen to him..."
Chen Afu interrupted her unhappily, "Second sister, please don't say such things again. It will not only bring disaster to your family, but also to my family. The emperor and the prince are so wise. How could they listen to a child when it comes to important court affairs? How could they let a woman like me interfere in court affairs?"
When Chen Yuhui heard that Chen Afu had pushed the baby away completely, she cried anxiously and said, "Big sister, please save my sister, save the baby in my sister's belly."
Looking at Chen Yuhui, whose makeup was ruined by crying, Chen Afu sighed. She once asked Lord Chu what would happen if Lord He was convicted. Lord Chu said that although Lord He was a member of the Second Prince's party, he did not follow the Second Prince in the rebellion, so his entire family should not be exterminated. The most likely possibility is that Lord He will be beheaded and the rest of his family will be exiled. If the Emperor shows mercy, it is also possible that Lord He will not be beheaded and he will be exiled with his family. Of course, this is just Lord Chu's analysis based on previous cases. It is not certain whether the Emperor will suddenly change his mind and impose a heavier punishment.
Lord Chu’s words were very clear; exile for the family was the best outcome.
Chen Ahfu said, "Get up. The ground is cold in winter. If you get frozen, it will be bad for the child."
After hearing this, Chen Yuhui stood up.
Chen Ahfu asked again, "You have been married to He Linsheng for so long, why are you pregnant now? It's the old He family that won't let you get away, and you want me and dad to save you and the He family at the same time, right?" Seeing that Chen Yuhui didn't say anything, he said, "If you divorce now because He Linsheng beat you, it's still feasible. Because He Linsheng's scandal of beating you has been to the Golden Palace, my third uncle and Lord Jiang have both filed a complaint for you, and the emperor and all the ministers know about it. At that time, Dad can still say that He Linsheng used to beat you often, and it was because Dad didn't want to get on the pirate ship of the second prince that you got beaten. But how dare we help your father-in-law offend? He is a member of the second prince's party, this is an indisputable fact. Whoever dares to help him offend, helping him is helping the second prince, and will also be implicated. Now, those who can draw a clear line with him are drawing a clear line, who dares to stick to him? That's courting death."
Chen Yuhui cried again, "Sister, what should I do? I already have a child, and they will definitely not agree to my divorce."
Although Chen Ahfu hated Chen Yuhui, he felt sorry for her crying like this and being pregnant. He said, "The He family did this for their own sake and ignored your life. Moreover, this child came at a very bad time. The court is busy now, there is a war in the south, and the emperor and the prince have not yet freed up their hands to clean up the rebels. When the emperor freed up his hands to clean up, if you haven't given birth to a child yet and you are pregnant, you will be in danger no matter what. If you give birth, the child is so small, no matter what the situation is, it will not be easy for the child to survive."
Chen Yuhui's heart started beating wildly when she heard this. Yes, how could she be so stupid? Wouldn't this mean the death of her and her child? Unless the He family is safe and sound, if something happens, she and her child will die. She cried, "Sister, what should I do? I don't want to die, and I don't want my child to die either."
Chen Afu said, "There is only one way now, which is to write a letter to my father and ask him to come to the capital to talk to Lord He. I hope that Lord He can keep this grandson from suffering and live healthily, and let you separate. After all, if he is convicted, I don't know how many of the He family's children and grandchildren will survive."
Even if they were not killed, it would be difficult for children who grew up in wealthy places to survive, whether they were exiled to the extremely cold north or the scorching hot Qiongzhou.
