Chapter 468 Returning Home

Chen Afu felt relieved again when he heard from Luo Yuan that Chen would return home to stay temporarily.

She guessed that those masked men should have been sent by the second prince. The second prince must have been so anxious that he sent someone to kidnap Chen to threaten the Chu family, right? It seems that the second prince has already started to take action.

Living outside the city is always dangerous.

Chen Afu said, "Okay, I understand. Mr. Luo hasn't eaten yet? Go to the outer courtyard to eat, then go home and rest."

Steward Luo's family also has a courtyard in Dingzhou Prefecture.

Luo Yuan shook his head and said, "Thank you, grandma, I have to rush back to Luojiazhuang immediately. My father also..."

Thinking of Manager Luo who was not out of danger yet, Chen Afu's heart tightened again. She stood up and said, "Little steward Luo, wait a minute. Master Wu Zhi gave me medicine to treat trauma before. It may be useful to Uncle Luo."

She entered the bedroom and took out a small wooden stick of agarwood from the small drawer in the closet. This was used to boil goat milk for the two brothers.

She handed the small wooden sign to Luo Yuan and said, "This is what Master Wu Zhi gave me. You can boil it in medicine and use it over and over again." She hoped that Manager Luo would get better, but green bird's nests were too scarce, so she could only Give him a small wooden stick of agarwood. This thing is not ordinary, it is very effective in treating external injuries.

Luo Yuan's family all knew that Chen Afu had a close relationship with Master Wu Zhi. He excitedly took the medicine, knelt down and kowtowed to Chen Afu several times. Choking with sobs, she said, "Thank you, grandma. I didn't expect that my father would be so lucky to be able to use the medicine given by Master Wu Zhi."

After Luo Yuan went out, Chen Afu quickly asked Nanny Li to take people to clean up Luomei Temple.

Luomei Temple is located in the southwest of the mansion. It is remote and quiet. There are more than a dozen plum trees in the small courtyard. Chu Lingxuan originally built it specifically for Chen. It looks like an ordinary small courtyard from the outside, but it is actually built after a small nunnery inside.

It was built, but the dust did not come back. Therefore, in addition to the gold and jade carvings of Buddha and Bodhisattva, as well as specially made large furniture, there are no other furniture and ornaments for daily use.

Now that the weather is freezing, we not only have to clean the inside and outside of the house, but we also have to burn the kang and earth dragon. In addition, go to the warehouse to get some furniture and put it in. Liao Chen was born into wealth, and even the nunnery where he became a monk was extremely exquisite, so he had to get good things.

Chen Afu told Nanny Li, "...furniture, furnishings, bedding, etc., must be of the best quality and plain."

Chu Lingqi also heard that something happened in Luojiazhuang, so he rushed to Luojiazhuang. Mrs. Song led Brother Wen to the Deputy General Military Mansion.

Once the Song family came, Chen Afu felt relieved again. She can't leave the house now, and Song has to take care of many things.

At the end of the afternoon, Liao Chen took Miss Chu back to his house.

Chen Afu was not yet one month old and could not go out to greet him, so he had to wait in the east room.

Mrs. Song helped Ling Chen into the living room, and Chen Afu went out and bowed to her.

Liao Chen's face was pale, his eyes were red, his clothes were slightly wrinkled, and he kept turning his rosary beads in his hand as he walked. She stretched out her other hand to hold Chen Afu's hand and said with tears, "It's all the poor nuns who are bad. They think that the poor nuns are monks, far away from the hustle and bustle of the world. Those people will not set their sights on the poor nuns. Who knows... ugh , I harmed Xuan'er, Manager Luo, and those good kids..."

In order to protect Chen, not only Chu Lingxuan, Manager Luo and others were injured, but three guards also died. Chen Afu didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only say, "It's good that my mother-in-law returns home. It's safe now. My uncle and daughter-in-law are relieved."

Chu Hanyan ran over and hugged Chen Afu and started crying, saying, "Mother, be afraid, be afraid, sister be afraid..."

The little girl's hair was a little messy, her eyes were red and swollen, and her body was still shaking.

Chen Afu pulled her and checked her carefully. He was relieved when he saw that she was indeed not injured. He hugged her and comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, Yan'er. You're home, and the bad guys won't dare to come."

Liao Chen glanced at Xiao Yu'er again, gave a string of red sandalwood beads as a meeting gift, and was taken to Luomei Temple by Mrs. Song.

Chen Afu pulled the little girl to the kang in the east room, let her sit in his arms, wiped her tears, and comforted her softly. Dabao was also holding the little girl's hand and comforting her.

I heard from Nanny Huang who went to Zhuangzi that the uncle personally sent Manager Luo to the Luo family, along with several doctors from Qianjintang.

She also said that last night, the uncle and his sister stayed in the upper room in the main courtyard. As soon as he heard the fighting outside, the uncle ran to the back room and asked Aunt Huang to hide the sister in a cupboard in the west room before leaving. The bad guys didn't enter the house where they lived, but the shouting outside scared my sister...

When the two brothers woke up, Chen Afu didn't let them accompany Chen. Someone died, and his son's servant was injured again. Liao Chen must be sad and has no intention of teasing the child.

At night, Chen Dabao still slept in the Nuan Pavilion, while Chen Afu led the little girl to sleep on the big bed. The little girl was so frightened that she kept hugging Chen Afu and refused to let go. She even talked nonsense in her dreams.

Chu Lingxuan came back very late. He saw the two children sleeping in the bedroom. He went back to the east side room and asked the night girl to spread a mattress on the kang. He wanted to sleep here.

When Chen Afu heard the noise, he stood up gently and came to the east side room.

Chen Afu saw that his left arm was bandaged, his face was pale, and he was so distressed that he burst into tears. Asked, "How is your injury? Is Uncle Luo awake?"

Chu Lingxuan pulled her to sit on the kang and whispered, "I'm fine, the wound is not deep. Uncle Luo has woken up, and the doctor said he is out of danger."

Chen Afu let out a sigh of relief. He said, "Uncle Luo is finally well. Otherwise, my mother-in-law will blame herself even more." Then he asked, "Are those people from the second prince?"

Chu Lingxuan nodded and said, "It must be his people. Those are the dead soldiers. They took poison before coming. If they don't take the antidote in time, they will die of poison. We caught two alive, but unfortunately they are dead."

Seeing Chen Afu's inquiring eyes, he said, "You haven't finished the confinement yet, and I'm afraid you will worry, so I didn't tell you some things before... You also know that Wang Guozhang returned to Nanzhong Province to recuperate two years ago..."

Two years ago, Wang Guozhang, who was the Grand Master, resigned from his post and returned to his hometown Nanzhong Province to recuperate on the grounds of serious illness. After that, some of the Wang family's children were successively placed in the Shaanxi and Shuxi armies.

Chen Afu knew all these things. She also specifically checked the map of the Dashun Dynasty. Some of them looked like the Tian/Chao in the previous life, but not completely. Nanzhong Province is a bit like Yunnan in the previous life, Shuxi Province is like Sichuan, and Shaanxi Province is like Shaanxi in the previous life. Nanzhong Province is the hometown of Wang Guozhang's family and the place where they made their fortune.

Previously, the Wang family had placed Yang Qing in Shaanxi as a general. If they united Shuxi, then these three connected provinces would be divided into their own regions. If they rebelled, it would be difficult for the court to fight them.

Yang Qing had already been taken down because of Wang Cheng's incident.
