Chapter 529: Victory in the Suppression of the Rebellion
Although Chen Afu was very angry and felt sorry for Chu Lingxuan's injury, he still listened patiently to Jin Yanzi's "eloquent talk."
Jin Yanzi said, "...I led Beibei to stand on a big rock and watch the excitement. The girl was very patient, kept talking, and her hands were not honest... When her big mouth was about to kiss, Chu Dad was so angry that he spat at her and yelled at her for being shameless. The girl became so angry that she pinched Dad Chu's injured leg with one hand, causing Dad Chu to scream in pain with the other hand. I can’t wait any longer for Daddy Chu to hit me on the face. If I let her continue, Mommy will hit me..."
Jin Yanzi quickly flew over and grabbed the clothes from Yu Paying's back, held her in the air and flew towards the entrance of the cave. Yu Paying was frightened and screamed.
After leaving the cave, Jin Yanzi threw her down and screamed a few more times. A group of long-billed birds flew over, and they all opened their big mouths and pounced on Yu Paying. Yu Paying became even more frightened, covering the tip of her head and rushing down the mountain.
The golden swallow flew back to the cave again. Chu Lingxuan also saw it and laughed at it, "Jinbao, it's really Jinbao! Ah Fu asked you to come, right? Thank you. Quick, help me untie the rope." ”
Golden Swallow untied the rope with his mouth. Chu Lingxuan sat up, rummaged through the clothes thrown aside, took out a purse, and took out a pill wrapped in oil paper from the purse. He swallowed the pill, then held the Golden Swallow in his hand and said, "That medicine is the magic medicine Ah Fu gave me. After taking it, my leg injury will heal quickly."
Jin Yanzi chirped and said with a smile, "Mommy, Daddy Chu can withstand the test and is a hero."
Chen Afu finally breathed a sigh of relief, but when he thought of Chu Lingxuan's injured leg, he felt so distressed that tears came out again. How painful it was. She flipped it out of her mind and cursed, "Little thing, this is getting more and more excessive." Then she asked, "Has he returned to the military camp?"
Jin Yanzi chirped, "Of course he went back. Father Chu dragged his injured leg out of the cave and was found by the people who were looking for him not long after. Father Chu even asked someone to bring a letter back to Mommy."
As he spoke, he flapped his wings and a small bamboo tube fell down.
Chen Afu opened the small bamboo tube and pulled out a wrapped paper roll. Open it, there are two. On one page it was written that the rebellion was successfully suppressed on March 5, but the second prince had committed suicide.
The other one said, My husband is very good, don’t read it.
Seeing the second picture, Chen Afu burst into tears again. He was so seriously injured, lost so much blood, and was held hostage by a fierce woman. What a good thing.
She wiped her tears, stood up, put the second note into the makeup box, and walked out of the courtyard with the first note.
It was impossible for Chen Afu to tell Lord Chu about what Jin Yanzi said, but he could give this note to him. After all, both Lord Chu and the old Lord knew how powerful Jin Yanzi was. However, this note cannot be known to other people, otherwise it will easily be linked to the incident of Rong Zhao being attacked by a bird.
When the old Marquis saw this note, he was so excited that he burst into tears. He lowered his voice and said, "Okay, okay, all the bad things are over."
Not long after, the Marquis of Chu also came back from the palace. He read the note and laughed too. After many years, this was the first time Chen Afu saw Lord Chu's heartfelt smile.
His smile is bright and clean, and he is truly a handsome middle-aged guy. It's a pity that Rong Zhao has been doting on him for more than ten years, and he has no love in his life.
He also said that the emperor came to him because he wanted to invite him to come out again, and his attitude was very sincere. He also said that if he didn't like being a military attaché, he could go to the Ministry of War.
The Marquis of Chu even resigned. One is that the Chu family has become very powerful now, and they don't want to cause the emperor to offend. Even if he doesn't have it now, there's no guarantee that he won't in the future. The second one was that in the Golden Palace, in front of the late emperor and all the civil and military officials, the Marquis of Chu said everything. The third is that Lord Chu is completely tired of his official career and wants to live a free life.
In the evening, Zhuxuan entertained guests. In addition to their father and son, they also invited Mrs. Chu San and her mother.
The third lady was so happy and a little puzzled when she saw the father and son with their faces flushed after drinking.
Chen Afu laughed softly and said, "I listened vaguely, and it seemed that the emperor wanted to invite my father-in-law to come out again. Although my father-in-law did not agree, he is grateful for the emperor's great kindness and is happy."
After hearing this, the third lady also pursed her lips and smiled. Although Lord Chu has no official position, he is the head of the Chu family and the support of everyone in the Chu family. The emperor trusted him because he trusted the Chu family.
At night, after the children had gone to bed, Jin Yanzi wanted to enter the space, but Jin Bei refused to go in and looked at Chen Afu with a look of grievance.
Chen Afu understood. She had promised to help him wash his butt.
She laughed, took the golden shell to the clean room, and washed it in the basin. He said, "It's been washed. It doesn't stink at all." Then he asked Jin Yanzi, "Do you want to wash the baby?"
Jin Yanzi blushed and said coyly, "I am a boy, how can I let mommy wash my butt? Besides, I have already washed my butt in the stream. In fact, Beibei has also washed it, and he is afraid that he has not washed it. I asked mommy to wash it again after it was clean.”
Chen Afu spread his left hand and said, "Okay, you are all smelling good, go in."
In the blink of an eye, the two birds disappeared.
Five days later, the emperor received an urgent request of 800 miles. The counter-rebellion had ended eight days ago. Marshal Chu would lead the southern expedition army and return to the court in a month. Also brought back was the body of the second prince, as well as the heads of the original king's father-in-law, uncle Wang and others.
If the second prince rebels again, he is still the emperor's brother and must be killed.
The emperor was overjoyed and praised the Chu family army in the court, saying that he would personally go out of the city to welcome the Chu family army. He also summoned the old Marquis Chu and the Marquis Chu to the palace, praised the great achievements of the Chu family, and invited them to the imperial banquet to accompany the prince. For a time, the Chu family was unrivaled.
Taking advantage of this favorable situation, Chu Bi, the second concubine of the Chu family, got another good marriage, a concubine's son from a second-rank military officer. The young man was seventeen years old and had already worked in the army, an eighth-rank minor official.
Both concubines got such good marriages, even no worse than the legitimate daughter Chu Zhen, which made Li feel a little sad.
Because many criminals were dealt with some time ago, many large houses were vacated. The best houses were given to several newly crowned princes, and the remaining ones were sold.
Chu Ling'an bought a large four-entry house. In fact, as for their family, they were not high-ranking officials and had few people, so there was no need to buy such a large house. But Chu Lingan always wanted to spend more money on real estate, so he bought this big house.
Chen Shiying's family also bought a four-story house with an artificial lake. The original three-story house was too small.
Before moving, Chen Shiying saw that Chen Yuhui's body was almost recovered, so he wanted to send her to the countryside of Dingzhou Prefecture. After all, she was a divorced girl, and she couldn't let her live at home and delay her younger sister.
