Chapter 520 Robbery
When Chen Afu was about to leave, Xiao Yuer finally agreed to let her mother hold her, and crawled into her mother's arms again and cried loudly. This child is so clever and strong, so she is doted on by her grandfather. Chen Afu secretly cursed and had no choice but to say nice things to coax Xiao Nizi into peace.
Chen Afu felt that maybe Lord Chu was good at doting on others, so he doted on the old and the young and had a good temper.
Chu Hanyan led her two younger brothers, while Chen Afu carried Xiao Yu'er and the third lady out of Anrong Hall. Now, Mrs. Chu San has moved to Mingheyuan.
Mingheyuan is not big. It is next to Zhuxuan. The distance between the two courtyards is only a few dozen meters.
The third lady smiled and said, "I want to be your neighbor, so I specifically asked for Mingheyuan."
Chen Afu smiled and said, "Okay, it will be convenient for those children to visit us in the future."
The third lady smiled and said, "No matter how convenient it is, it's useless. As soon as their grandfather came back, he dominated them every day. I still hope that Xuan'er will come back soon so that you can have a girl. I will take the little girl back and raise her as soon as she is born. You No matter what happens, my father-in-law is too embarrassed to care about me having a child."
Chen Afu smiled, she really didn't know what to say.
On the way, the third lady whispered to Chen Afu, "Rong Zhao went to the temple this morning. We grew up together, and although we often had arguments, we are cousins after all, so I still sent her off. Alas, I was the only one who went to see her off. She was shocked. None of the sisters and brothers who had played well with her went to see her off. She seemed to be a different person, saying that she was obsessed with things and had harmed not only herself, but also her biological mother and her maternal family. Her biological daughter will also have a difficult time in her husband's family because of her relationship... She said that everything she did was because she liked her uncle so much that she could never let him go the first time she saw him. It was her calamity. It would be great if she never met her uncle in this life... She also said that she had given her heart and it would not be easy to take it back. She also wanted to see her uncle. I told her uncle, but he didn't go. ”
The third lady sighed deeply and said, "Who can blame this? When she met her uncle, if she didn't want to do everything possible to take him as her own, not to get involved with the second brother and the waste queen, or with that If Xue Consort lived a good life, she wouldn't have harmed so many people, and she wouldn't have this day. To blame, it's because she is greedy and selfish. She only cares about her own happiness and doesn't care about the life and death of others... I think she is the uncle. She was the calamity of my uncle. She tore his good family into pieces and ruined his future. If Mr. San and I were not at the border at that time, Xuan'er and Hua'er would not have left the capital to join us. I’m not sure what will happen... Well, people, whether you are born into an emperor’s family or a common people’s family, you have to do your duty, you can’t force things, and you have to be smart, know the current affairs, and know how to advance and retreat.”
Rong Zhao is not only greedy and selfish, but also vicious and cruel. If she hadn't wanted to burn Chen Chen to death and almost caused so many people to be burned to death, Lord Chu might not have hated her so much, and he might have gone to see her for the last time, right?
Chen Afu said with a smile, "There are not many people as open-minded and intelligent as Third Aunt. Otherwise, why would the emperor's family always be in the blood of fighting for the heir apparent, and the common people's family would always have many people fighting for a piece of property."
The third lady laughed and said, "You are the only one with a sweet mouth." She added, "Uncle has moved back to the Hou Mansion and moved into Anrong Hall. I don't know when my sister-in-law will be able to move in. It will be nice if she comes back and our family will be reunited." Yes, this has also been my uncle’s and Xuan’er’s wish for many years.”
Thinking of Chen's stubbornness, Chen Afu smiled bitterly and said, "It's not easy for my father-in-law and uncle to keep my mother-in-law's mortal heart."
The third lady sighed, "My previous sister-in-law has always been gentle and kind. So many years of Qingdeng Ancient Buddha has changed her character."
They arrived at Mingheyuan first. Before they parted, the third lady asked Chen Afu to make some soft and glutinous snacks, which she would bring to the palace tomorrow to bring to the Queen Mother.
Chen Afu nodded in agreement. She also wanted to bring some to Xiao Shiyi and the Queen.
Back at Zhuxuan, after Chen Afu washed up, he made trouble with a few children on the kang for a long time. He didn't send them to rest until they were drowsy.
He took this time to sleep in a separate room with Xiao Yuer. Xiao Nizi is too strong. If she gets used to sleeping with him in the future, she will have to make a big fuss when we separate.
She was arranged to go to the West Room in the West Crossing Courtyard. This room has been tidied up a long time ago. She just needs to take the bedding there today. Chu Hanyan slept in the east room. She was very happy to see her sister sharing the same courtyard with her, and her mood improved a lot.
Although Xiao Yu'er was unhappy that she couldn't sleep with her mother, at least living in a house with her sister was better than living alone in a big house a few days ago. After humming a few times, he fell asleep here obediently.
Chen Afu closed the bedroom door and entered the space with half a bowl of milk-flavored pine nuts that she had prepared earlier.
Jin Yanzi was still busy, Chen Afu said with a smile, "Baby, come and have a rest. Mommy wants to thank you. If you hadn't reminded me, I don't know what would have happened in Luojiazhuang."
The golden swallow chirped and flew onto Chen Afu's palm with a smile.
Chen Afu kissed it, picked up pine nuts from the bowl and fed it. One person and one bird talked until late at night, before Chen Afu went back to the bedroom to rest.
Early the next morning, Chen Afu got up. She took Mother Hua and the two little girls to the small kitchen in the backyard to make snacks. This time she made a lot more. Not only did she send two food boxes to the Queen Mother, Queen Mother, Xiao Eleven and Sixth Princess in the palace, but she also gave other things to the family. Everyone except the Li family gave a few yuan.
After that, every day at the beginning of the Si hour, when the children had just gotten up and had breakfast, Lord Chu would send someone to take them to Anrong Hall. They would be sent back at lunch time, and at the beginning of the Shen hour in the afternoon, after the children had a nap, someone would be sent to take them back again. In the evening, everyone would go to Anrong Hall to have dinner together, and Chen Afu would bring them back again.
When the third wife was not in the palace, she wanted to see the children, but there was nothing to see.
On the fifteenth day, just after the children were taken to Anrong Hall, the mothers came back with their children. Because the eunuchs in the palace came and said that the emperor summoned Lord Chu to the court for an audience.
The emperor usually does not attend court now, and I don’t know why he suddenly summoned Lord Chu to the court. Upon hearing this news, the third wife could not sit still, and ran to the bamboo pavilion to sit and wait with Chen Afu.
It was not that they were worrying too much, but that the court was too chaotic and the emperor was suspicious. They waited until noon, but Lord Chu did not come back. The third wife had dinner in the bamboo pavilion before returning to Mingheyuan. At the end of the afternoon, Lord Chu finally came back. Not long after, he sent someone to invite Chen Afu and the third wife to Anrong Hall.
The two went to Anrong Hall together, and the old Lord was already there. Lord Chu's eyes were red and swollen, and it was obvious that he had cried. There was a large purple bruise on his forehead, which was even more shocking.
Was he beaten, and was he crying because of it?
The third wife of Chu and Chen Afu were both shocked.
