Chapter 492: Message

Since Xiao Yuer was half a year old, Chen Afu began to gradually take over the household affairs of the Marquis's Mansion from the Third Lady. She had to spend more than an hour in the morning in the inner courtyard meeting room to handle the affairs of the mansion. She never liked managing household affairs, so as soon as she took over the housekeeping, she began to train Li Ma and Hong Fei to be her right-hand men. Hong Fei had already been engaged, and the young man was a steward in the mansion. Chen Afu asked her to get married in two years.

Fortunately, Xiao Yuer had already started to breastfeed, and she only fed milk twice a day, morning and evening.

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, Chen Afu invited all the masters except the second room to have dinner in the bamboo pavilion. Li was so angry that she scolded in the yard for most of the night. The news reached Chen Afu's ears the next day.

This is the good thing about being the mistress of the house. Any slight movement in the mansion can be heard immediately.

Chen Afu was slapping Li's face in a blatant way. At the beginning, Li followed Rong Zhao to make trouble, and controlled the inner courtyard of the Marquis's Mansion for more than ten years, embezzling tens of thousands of taels of silver. Forget about the silver, but she made Chu Lingxuan and Yan'er unable to return home, and she wanted Chu Lingxuan to have no descendants and let her son inherit the title. This is heartbreaking.

Although the second master did not join in the trouble, he watched his wife's trouble and did not care. He had no pressure to spend the silver that his wife embezzled. He was not authentic.

If it were not for the hint of Lord Chu that the second master had suffered when he was young, and that the silver was forgiving, it would be a face for the second master. Chen Afu would really find a way to force Li to spit out the tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Fortunately, Chu Lingan and his wife were good, and Chen Afu treated them with courtesy in private.

In the afternoon of June 20th, Chen Afu had just finished his lunch break and was leading several children and the animals except Jin Yanzi to play in the hall. Jin Yanzi was sent to the south to "watch the war" again.

At this time, Xiao Shiyi and Li Xuan came to the Chu family together again.

As soon as little Li Xuan arrived, he raised his voice and shouted, "Aunt, I want to eat your watermelon shaved ice and golden shrimp balls." His voice was cheerful, just like before in the countryside and Dingzhou Prefecture.

Chen Afu smiled and said, "Did your mother leave you hungry?" He still asked people to make watermelon shaved ice and the food that the eleventh prince and Prince Rui liked, and invited them to dinner in the evening.

Last month, Prince Rui asked for the title of Prince for little Li Xuan, and the prince approved it directly on behalf of the emperor. In fact, many princes or people with titles do not necessarily ask for the title of Prince when their children are so young. The reason why Prince Rui did this was to tell his biological mother, Concubine Zhou De, and his eldest son Li Chao that the Prince was Li Xuan's, and some things could not be wishful thinking.

After Concubine Zhou De knew about this, the Prince had been confirmed to be given to Li Xuan. She was so angry that she called Prince Rui to the palace and scolded him, saying that Li Xuan was too young, and asked Prince Rui to take back the position of Prince, and ask for him to be named after Li Xuan's body was completely recovered in two years.

Prince Rui disagreed, saying that such an important matter cannot be changed overnight. Besides, Li Xuan is very healthy now and does not need rehabilitation.

Prince Rui has been a disobedient and unruly person since he was a child, and Concubine Zhou De scolded him for a long time but it was useless.

Concubine Zhou De had no choice but to run to the emperor and cry, saying that Prince Rui was unfilial and did not tell her, his mother, about such a big thing. Moreover, Li Xuan was weak and a little stupid, how could he take on such a big responsibility.

The emperor reprimanded Concubine Zhou De, saying that she was too biased as a grandmother. Anyone can see that Li Xuan is smart and strong now. It doesn't make sense that such a good grandson should not inherit the title, but let the illegitimate grandson inherit the title.

Concubine Zhou De was so angry that she thought to herself, you are more biased than anyone else as a father, and you let the illegitimate son become the prince. But she only dared to think about this in her heart and did not dare to say it out loud.

Concubine Zhou De failed to make Li Xuan's position as the prince, and Li Chao did not dare to make trouble again. With Xiao Shiyi, Li Xuan's life in the palace was much better. He no longer had the anxiety and restlessness he had when he just returned to Beijing, and he became optimistic and relaxed again.

Xiao Shiyi also gradually adapted to life in the palace. His brother is the prince, and the emperor loves him, so he can't live a good life. Especially after his biological mother became the queen, no one dared to stop him from walking sideways in the palace. Not only that, he was flattered and respected by those nephews every day, and his life was extremely comfortable.

He still rarely mentioned Chen Afu and the Chu family in the palace. Occasionally, when he met Chen Afu who came to the palace to pay respects to the Empress Dowager or the Queen, he would only greet him politely and not be too intimate. However, as soon as he returned to the Chu family, he would sit next to Chen Afu like a child. Of course, he would not ignore Chu Hanyan, and would pull her to sit next to him with one hand. With a peerless beauty on each side, he was extremely happy and proud. After being intimate with the two beauties, he would tease other brothers and sisters.

When he returned to the Chu family, he would leave the other guards and eunuchs in the outer courtyard. Only one person came with him to Zhuxuan, that is, Xiaogezi, and occasionally Qiuyue would be brought. These two people were his absolute confidants, and he was not afraid that they would tell others about his close relationship with "mother".

In fact, he felt that a kind person like his mother would not be unhappy even if she knew that he was close to "mother". But he did not dare to be careless, always afraid of bringing disaster to "mother" and his family.

Every time he went out of the palace, he would bring Luo Mama out, and Luo Mama would go directly back to her own home. Before, Chu Lingxuan had already exempted Luo Yuan and Luo Mingcheng from slavery. This was not only for Luo Mama's face, but also for the credit of Luo Guanshi's family for being loyal to Lechen.

Although Guanshi Luo and his family were slaves in the past, they were definitely rich. They also owned many shops and many properties. Luo Yuan is now a free agent and a true master. He no longer needs to work for the Chu family, he only takes care of his own business. Xiao Luo Mingcheng has gone to a private school to study, and the Luo family hopes that he will study hard and gain fame in the future. With the help of His Highness Eleven and the Chu family, his future will definitely be good.

After eating watermelon shaved ice, Li Xuan, his two brothers and Animal House were not afraid of the heat and went to the children's playground to play. Xiao Shiyi did not follow, saying that he wanted to accompany his mother and sister in Zhuxuan.

Now that Xiao Shiyi has grown up, he is no longer as interested in the children's playground as he was when he was a child.

When there was no one else around, Little Eleven whispered in Chen Afu's ear, "Mother, Brother Nine Emperors asked me to tell you that he knows that Lord Chu Hou has been wronged, and he has something in his heart."

Ever since the Ninth Prince was granted the title of Crown Prince, he has not seen Lord Chu in private. He asked Xiao Shiyi to pass this message over, was he expressing an attitude, right?

Chen Afu smiled and pinched Xiao Eleven's fat face and said, "Okay, I understand and I will convey it to you."

Xiao Shiyi blushed again and whispered, "I also feel that Mr. Chu Hou has been wronged, but my father... ah..." He was embarrassed to say that his father was wrong, so he paused and said, "That Rong Zhao is very annoying, I have never regarded her as my eldest sister."
