Chapter 333: Retention

Chen Afu and others went directly to the main courtyard, and Wang Cheng's family was also arranged to go to a small courtyard. Chu Lingxuan stayed in the outer courtyard to handle some affairs, and also had to go to General Fu's family to give gifts.

The main courtyard is a two-entry house with a west cross-courtyard. Entering the hanging flower gate is a corridor connecting the east and west wing rooms. The upper house has five rooms with two side rooms, and the wing rooms have three rooms with two side rooms.

The courtyard is full of flowers, and the cross corridor paved with gravel in the middle divides the large green lawn in the courtyard into four parts. Two pomegranate trees are planted in the two lawns near the hanging flower gate. There are many potted plants around the lawn. In front of the main house and the wing room, there are many yellow horn orchids, bougainvilleas and other flowers and trees.

This courtyard was originally a three-entry house with many trees planted. Because Chen Afu said that he liked openness, green grass and colorful flowers, Chu Lingxuan had the back house and the second door demolished and built into its current appearance.

The backyard also has five back rooms with two side rooms, as well as east and west wing rooms. The yard is full of beautiful trees and bamboos, and there is a small pond in the middle.

Chen Afu is very satisfied with this yard. Although she will not live here often, this is also her real home.

Standing here, she really tasted the taste of being the master of the house. In the Marquis's Mansion, she always felt aggrieved.

After dinner, Li Xuan was arranged to rest in the west wing, and the little guy fell asleep in the murmur of the golden swallow.

Chen Afu met with the main steward of the inner courtyard of the General's Mansion, and sorted out the things. Half of her dowry will be placed here.

This time she brought back Li Mama, Qingfeng, Hongfei, Xiayue, Xiaomo, Xiaohuang, Xiaozi, Hua Mama, and Yuzhu led Xiaohong and other maids to guard the Marquis' Mansion.

She had already thought about it. Qingfeng and Xiaohuang stayed here to guard the main courtyard and pay attention to the situation in the mansion. She only took Xiayue, Hongfei, Xiaomo, Xiaozi and Hua Mama to Tangyuan. Qingfeng is not young anymore, so she will find a young man to marry in the General's Mansion and let her be the housekeeper of the main courtyard.

After making the arrangements, she sent the servants away and returned to the bedroom, because she saw that Jin Yanzi, who was climbing on the high table, was very impatient.

Jin Yanzi followed her into the bedroom and started to complain, "Xiao Xuanxuan is more annoying than Xiao Yanyan, and more annoying than Chou Dabao. When he opens his eyes, he can't leave me for a moment. He howls when he leaves me. It's really annoying."

After saying that, her little pointed mouth became even more pointed.

Chen Afu held it in his palm and coaxed it, "Xiao Xuanxuan was scared like this by the bad guys. Let's give him more love and care, let him get out of his fear, and he won't pester you like this." He kissed his little pointed mouth again and said, "Good baby, you are the most compassionate. Give some Yan Chenxiang leaves to let Xiao Xuanxuan recover soon."

Jin Yanzi said impatiently, "Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you." He licked his little pointed mouth again and said, "Mommy's kiss is not that fragrant, why did Daddy Chu say it was so fragrant?"

Chen Afu blushed, flicked its head and cursed, "Hateful, nonsense again."

Jin Yanzi chirped and returned to the space.

Chu Lingxuan came back in the middle of the night and woke Chen Afu up. The two of them did the job. Even though Chen Afu was confused and unconscious, he could feel that Chu Lingxuan was very happy and relaxed.

The next morning, Chen Afu sent someone to Chen Shi's house and asked Chen Shi and his wife to come to the General's Mansion. Someone sent a note to Chen's house, saying they would have lunch at noon and then go back to Tangyuan directly after lunch.

The original plan was to stay in the General's House for a few days, invite Chu Lingxuan's colleagues and friends to visit, and then go to Chen's House to play for a day. But because they found Wang Cheng, they had to rush back to reunite their siblings.

More than an hour later, Chen Shi, Zhang, and Chen Aman arrived. Chen Afu took out Chen Ayu, Yang Mingyuan, and the gifts he gave them, and told them about Chen Ayu and Yang Mingyuan's situation in the capital.

Chen Shi and his wife were very happy to hear this, especially Chen Aman, whose little face blushed.

Hearing that they would leave in the afternoon, Zhang said regretfully, "You should stay in the city for two more days and come to our house to play for a day."

Chen Afu then told her about finding his uncle.

Chen Shi said happily, "That's a good thing. It's indeed time for the second sister-in-law and her siblings to reunite as soon as possible."

After seeing off Chen Shi's family, Chen Afu and Chu Lingxuan went to Chen's house. This time, Xiao Lixuan and Wang Cheng's family were not brought along. They were asked to go directly outside the city after having dinner at the General's Mansion, where they would meet.

Chen Shiying and Jiang received the news yesterday that Chen Afu and his wife had returned to Dingzhou Prefecture. Jiang was stunned when she received the note. She did not expect Chen Afu to return to her parents' home today and return to the countryside after having dinner.

It was Qingfeng who sent the note. She told her about the grandmother finding her uncle.

Jiang smiled and said, "This is a hurry to return to the hometown for a reunion."

She quickly sent someone to the yamen to tell the master, and asked someone to decorate the flower hall, prepare wine and food, and then asked someone to go to the front yard to ask for leave from Chen Yulan's husband, and asked Chen Yulan to pick someone up outside the door.

When Chen Afu and Chu Lingxuan arrived at the Chen Mansion, they saw Chen Yulan waiting at the door.

Chen Afu smiled and said, "It's time for the teacher to teach now, why are you here to pick us up?"

Chen Yulan smiled and said, "Mother said that this is the first time that my brother-in-law and sister have returned to their real mother's home, and my brother-in-law should greet them at the door."

Jiang has always been so good at dealing with people.

Chen Afu smiled and said, "Mother and brother are thoughtful."

When they arrived at the main courtyard, Chen Shiying had already returned, Chen Yuqing and her sisters were also there, and even Chen Yuhui came. Fortunately, Old Lady Chen was not there.

Everyone greeted and sat down.

Chen Afu saw Chen Yuhui's face was extremely bad. Her eyes were full of hatred when she looked at herself, but there was a little tenderness in her eyes when she looked at Chu Lingxuan.

Chen Afu was very speechless. Chen Yuhui still thought that Chen Afu had robbed her husband.

Chen Shiying and Jiang were very angry when they saw Chen Yuhui like this. They thought she seemed "normal" before, and they thought she should see the reality clearly. Chen Afu had married Chu Lingxuan. But when they saw her like this, they felt that it was really embarrassing for the Chen family.

Hearing that Chen Afu and her husband left after lunch, Chen Yuhui was surprised and asked in a daze, "Why are you so anxious? Big sister and Lord Chu are going back to their parents' home for the first time. They should have dinner at home."

Although she did not call Chu Lingxuan her brother-in-law, she called Chen Afu "big sister" and invited them to have dinner. This kind gesture was really unexpected.

Chen Afu did not expect it either. Although she did not know what she meant, she felt that this was a weasel paying New Year's greetings to the chicken, and she had no good intentions. So he just smiled and ignored her.

Jiang's eyes flashed with a bit of fierceness, but he quickly suppressed it.

Chen Shiying was very happy, thinking that his second daughter might have seen the reality and let go of her obsession. He smiled and said, "Fu'er was in a hurry to go back to her hometown this time. Next time she goes back to her parents' home, she will spend more time with her sisters."

Chen Yuhui's face turned pale, and the handkerchief was wrapped around his fingers several times.
