Chapter 508: Correct Your Attitude

After hearing what the Third Lady said, Li Xuan's eyes lit up. He saluted the Third Lady first, called out, "Auntie," and then ran to find Chen Afu.

Princess Rui smiled bitterly and whispered, "Sister Royal is really talking about something that is not relevant."

"What do you mean?" Chu Sanfu wondered. What she said just now was just a joke.

Princess Rui lowered her voice and said, "Ever since Xiao Shi got engaged, Xuan'er has been clamoring to get engaged to Xiao Yu'er. Knowing that the engagement could not be successful, he insisted on explaining to Madam Chu that she should not betroth Xiao Yu'er to someone else. Xuan'er has been clamoring to come every day these days, but his father has suppressed him."

Madam Chu San laughed and said, "It's true that a tiger father has a dog son. Xuan'er is even more capable than his father. He wants a wife at such a young age."

Princess Rui blushed and explained, "It's all my prince's fault. He used to tease Xuan'er, saying that as long as Madam Chu gave birth to a daughter, he would try to get her to be his wife. It was originally a joke, but he never thought that he would take it seriously..."

What she was embarrassed to say was that when Prince Rui heard that Li Xuan had gone to Xiao Shiyi to ask for Xiao Yu'er in order to marry her, he was very happy. He felt that this son was not only not stupid now, but also very smart, smarter than he was when he was a child. Once again, he was glad for his wise decision. He made the right decision to send his son to Chen Afu's house! In addition, Chen Afu was so smart, her daughter must be good too. It would be great if he could marry that girl as his daughter-in-law. Of course, he only told Princess Rui about this idea, and did not dare to tell Li Xuan. It's shameful to want to get married at such a young age...

Chen Afu was leading Chu Zhen to greet guests at the door. Li Xuan went over and pulled her aside, whispering, "Aunt, where is Xiao Yu'er?"

Chen Afu smiled, "There are many guests today, so I didn't let her out."

Li Xuan mustered up the courage to say, "Aunt, don't rush to arrange a marriage for Xiao Yu'er. When I grow up to fifteen, let the emperor grant us a marriage."

Chen Afu was angry and amused. She poked his little head and said angrily, "What are you thinking at such a young age? Don't say this again in the future, otherwise I will be unhappy." Seeing Li Xuan's little mouth pouting and his eyes red, she thought that he was also a child and would not remember this matter after a while. Then she said, "Xiao Yu'er is so young, of course auntie won't arrange a marriage for her. You too, are only six years old this year, you should think more about schoolwork, don't always think about those things, which will make people laugh."

When Li Xuan heard that his auntie would not arrange a marriage for Xiao Yu'er, he became happy, smiled with curved eyebrows, and promised, "I will think more about schoolwork, study hard, and I will have a promising future..."

Seeing Li Xuan like this, he was completely different from the silly little boy. Chen Afu still gave herself a thumbs up in her heart, feeling quite accomplished. She squatted down and kissed Li Xuan's pretty little face, and said, "Good boy, go play."

Seeing that there were more guests, Chen Afu went to greet the guests.

Today, there were several unexpected guests. One was Xiao Shiyi leading Li Cheng, and the other was Chen Yuhui following Madam He.

Xiao Shiyi and Li Cheng were naturally the most distinguished guests. Xiao Shiyi sat next to the third wife, talked with several female elders for a while, and then went to the outer courtyard.

He didn't want to leave, he wanted to stay with Chu Hanyan and his mother for a while longer. But Xiao Gezi kept urging him to go to the outer courtyard to spend more time with the men, saying that this was the intention of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Another thing was that the Third Lady and Princess Rui and Princess An often joked with him, which made him very embarrassed.

Li Cheng was pulled into a corner by Chu Hanyan and Yinghui, Zhu Yinger, Zhang Ziqi, Yang Qian and several other little girls to laugh, and several little girls also joked with Chu Hanyan. Chu Hanyan blushed with shame, glanced at Xiao Eleven in the distance, and covered her face with a handkerchief. Seeing Xiao Eleven leave, she led the little girls to the children's playground to swing and slide.

What surprised Chen Afu was that Chen Yuhui was pregnant. Jiang's letter said that Chen Shiying wanted Chen Yuhui to divorce. After the rebellion was over, some people would definitely be caught. And everyone knew that Lord He was a member of the Second Prince's party, and his outcome would definitely not be good.

It was obvious that the He family would not let Chen Yuhui divorce at this time. Chen Yuhui often made trouble at home, and He Linsheng and his family endured it. Therefore, Chen Shiying could not find a reason for them to divorce.

Chen Yuhui was dressed very brightly today, with delicate makeup, and her belly was not bulging, so she did not look like a pregnant woman. It was Madam He who told Chen Afu, "The second daughter-in-law is pregnant, but she said she missed the eldest sister so much, so I had to bring her here."

Chen Yuhui came over and took one of Chen Afu's arms, and said with a smile, "Eldest sister, I have wanted to see you for a long time, but I have not been feeling well recently, so I came to see you today. In the future, if you have nothing to do, please visit my house more often, and we sisters can chat more."

Madam He also laughed and said, "Yes, the second daughter-in-law talks to me almost every day, saying that you two sisters are so affectionate and she misses you so much."

This is nonsense. If it weren't for some of the things Jiang said in the letter, Chen Afu really thought that Chen Yuhui had let go of his previous grudge. Chen Afu calmly pulled her arm out of Chen Yuhui's hand and smiled, "I am usually very busy. I have to manage the household, take care of the children, and be filial to the elders..."

Chen Yuhui's face was relieved. Just as he was about to speak, he was pulled by Madam He. Madam He chuckled and said, "Yes, Madam Chu has a big family and many children, so she is indeed busy. Madam Chu doesn't have time, so let my second daughter-in-law come to visit you more often in the future."

Chen Afu smiled and said nothing, and went to greet other guests.

Madam He Er saw Chen Afu leave, frowned and whispered to Chen Yuhui, "Second daughter-in-law, you have to be upright. We are here to curry favor with her today. If she is willing to help, your father-in-law's official position may be preserved. If she doesn't help, your father-in-law will be identified as a member of the second prince's party. Demotion is a light punishment, and the family may be confiscated and exterminated. In that case, you can't escape the bad fate of being sold and used as a slave."

Chen Yuhui's face changed.

She didn't want to get pregnant. After listening to the people sent by her father to tell her about the situation in the court, she also wanted to find an opportunity to separate from He Linsheng. She was always making trouble at home, and even had her two maids beaten to the ground, and her concubine miscarried. He Linsheng endured it all, not only did he not beat or scold her, but he also told her to beat whoever she wanted.

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the moon was round and the sweet-scented osmanthus was fragrant. He Linsheng, dressed in white, was as handsome as a banished immortal. He brought a jar of wine to her room, saying that on this festive occasion, he wanted to have a drink with her...
