Chapter 233: Confession

Chu Lingxuan saw Chen Afu crying, and he wanted to wipe her tears. He raised his right hand, but put it down and clenched it into a fist. He said, "Don't be afraid, Miss Chen. I won't let you be bullied by him."

Chen Afu wiped his tears and said, "Lord Chu, I don't know where else I can go except coming to you. I don't know what to do."

Chu Hanyan saw that her father didn't hug her at the first time, but coaxed her crying aunt. Daddy is good to aunt, so she certainly won't be jealous. Just when she was about to run over to coax her aunt to stop crying, Mother Song came over.

Mother Song picked her up and whispered, "Sister, Lord Chu and Master Chen have something to say, let's go over there to play."

Luo Mei and several maids also hurriedly followed them into the house.

In an instant, only Chu Lingxuan and Chen Afu were left in the corridor.

Chu Lingxuan said again, "It won't be long before the second prince and the seventh prince know that I'm back home, and maybe they will come to the house."

Are they here to ask for her? Not only the Seventh Prince is coming, but also the Second Prince is coming. Chen Afu is a little confused. In this era when the imperial power is greater than heaven, she has provoked the prince, and she thought her smart mind could not turn around.

Asked, "Is the Second Prince also coming to help the tyrant?"

Chu Lingxuan said, "This time it seems that the Second Prince and the Seventh Prince are coming to Dingzhou Prefecture for inspection. In fact, only the Second Prince is representing the emperor, and the Seventh Prince is here to travel privately. The Second Prince has a grudge against my family, and this time he is trying his best to catch me. Today, the woman that the Seventh Prince likes ran to my house. If the Seventh Prince comes to ask for someone, he will definitely come to watch the fun and see if he can catch me in the act of being immoral."

I have caused him a lot of trouble.

Chen Ahfu said sadly, "Lord Chu, I'm sorry, I've caused you a lot of trouble."

Chu Lingxuan smiled, "It's a little troublesome, but I can still handle it." His face became serious again, and he said, "Now Miss Chen has two choices. If Miss Chen is willing to be my wife, Chu Lingxuan, he can't bully the woman of a minister even if he is a prince. It's normal for you to hide in my house when you encounter trouble. If Miss Chen is only willing to be my daughter's master, I will do my best to protect you, but this road will be more difficult."

Hearing his last promise, Chen Ahfu's tears flowed again. She felt that such a man was worth the risk of loving.

She whispered, "In fact, I have always wanted to be your wife. But I'm afraid that you are too outstanding and your family background is too good, while my family background is not high. I'm afraid that I am not worthy of you, that you will abandon me after having an affair, and that you will make me your concubine..."

Chu Lingxuan was overjoyed to hear her say that she had always wanted to be his fiancée. Hearing her next words, he was angry and amused again. So this is how she thought of herself. She was such a foolish woman who loved to fantasize.

She said, "Silly words. You are so good, how can you not be worthy of me? In my opinion, that word is a blasphemy to you. Ah Fu, you are beautiful, smart, kind, and the only woman I want to marry in all these years. If I am lucky enough to have you in this life, you will definitely be my wife. I promise that I will definitely not abandon you in the end."

After hearing his words, Chen Ah Fu's tears flowed more violently. In his previous life, Liu Xudong said all the sweet words in the world, but he never said that Chen Yanyan was the "only woman he wanted to marry". She felt that this sentence was what she wanted in her previous life but heard unexpectedly in this life.

Seeing her like this, Chu Lingxuan smiled and took her into his arms. He said, "Look at you, you can cry like this even for a good thing. If Yan'er saw it, she would be ashamed of you."

Chen Ah Fu burst into laughter. Leaning in his arms, warm and sweet.

At this time, the sky had completely darkened. Because the two of them were "talking", the servants did not dare to come over to light the lights. The bright light from the full moon in the sky made their shadows dim in the corridor.

Suddenly, Chen Ahfu thought of Chen Shiying again, raised her head and asked, "Will this matter involve Lord Chen?"

Through the set of headgear that was not sold in the morning, she knew that she didn't want to hurt Chen Shiying in her heart. If the fact that she was his illegitimate daughter was exposed, would it affect his career? It was not easy for him, a poor student, to reach this point. Although she should have been his eldest daughter, the identity of this "illegitimate daughter" was all his mother's evil, but she still didn't want his future to be ruined.

Chu Lingxuan said, "He will definitely be involved. However, the impact will not be too great. Many officials have concubines and illegitimate children in private, and in the eyes of some people, these are still elegant. As long as your mother, who should have been his legal wife, is not exposed for being driven away after he passed the imperial examination, it is not a big deal for him to have a few more illegitimate children."

What a perverted society!

As he was talking, Chu Huai came to report that the second prince and the seventh prince had arrived and were in the front hall. They wanted to see Chu Lingxuan and the girl who came to the Chu Mansion from Yu Qilin Silver House today.

Chu Lingxuan sneered sarcastically and said, "If that's the case, they can't even wait for one night. Let's go, just tell them who you are to me. I'll take care of the rest."

Chen Afu followed him to the outer courtyard. She was still a little scared, afraid of causing trouble for Chu Lingxuan, Chen Shiying, and especially Dabao. She felt that her body was not her own, her feet were light, and her body was a little staggering.

Chu Lingxuan took her hand and squeezed it hard, saying, "Don't be afraid, I'll take care of everything."

She was dragged by him and walked quickly, and the moonlight stretched their shadows very long, one tall and one short, and they were holding hands.

With such a man to rely on, the road ahead is actually not that scary. Chen Afu exhaled, and the small hand held by the big hand squeezed the big hand.

Chu Lingxuan's smile deepened.

When we came to the front yard, there were many soldiers in military uniforms standing in the yard, as well as waiters holding whisks in their hands.

The five glazed palace lanterns in the front hall were all lit, making the room brightly lit. Two men were sitting at the Eight Immortals table. One was the Seventh Prince whom he had met in the morning, but he was now wearing an apricot-yellow court dress embroidered with a five-clawed dragon. The other man was in his thirties, tall and fat, with an imposing appearance, a mustache, and wore the same court uniform as the seventh prince. He should be the second prince.

Chu Lingxuan clasped his fists and bowed, "I see you, Your Highness, and Prince Rui."

Chen Afu also blessed himself and said, "See His Highness, Prince Rui."

The second prince Li Zeyu glanced at Chen Afu for a few times, then smiled at Chu Ling and said, "General Chu, excuse me. I heard from the Seventh Emperor that a stunning woman he fell in love with entered your mansion today, and I still don't believe it. All of you." Everyone in the capital knows that General Chu does not like women." He pointed at Chen Afu and said, "Now that you have brought a woman, has General Chu's temperament really changed?"

Please subscribe. Since Qingquan fell ill last time, Wenwen's performance has been very unsatisfactory. It’s even worse today, with the ranking hitting a new low. So sad...
