Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

Today, Chen Yuhui dressed up very eye-catchingly, wearing an orange butterfly-flowered short jacket, a light yellow cloud satin Ruyi dress, a head full of pearls, and a pink face and peach cheeks.

In order to highlight her, Chen Yuqing dressed very low-key, wearing a lilac-colored embroidered long cotton jacket. Chen Afu dressed in a more low-key style. She was not in the mood to dress up, not to stand out from Chen Yuhui. She wore a lotus-colored long trousers, and simply put two hostas on her head and put on light makeup.

Even if Chen Afu wears civilian clothes, he is much more beautiful than Chen Yuhui.

Chen Yuhui didn't think so. The moment she saw He Linsheng come in, she was stunned. It turned out that once he took it out, he turned out to be a celestial being. But when she saw that He Linsheng's eyes did not linger on her body, but looked at Chen Afu's stunning expression, her face suddenly turned red with anger, and she held the handkerchief tightly, feeling extremely aggrieved.

In her opinion, Chen Afu did it on purpose. He clearly knew that he looked best in lotus colored clothes, so he chose to wear clothes of this color today. If this is not to seduce men, then what is it here for?

Chen Afu raised his eyes and saw Chen Yuhui looking at him hatefully and getting angry. Do you think you are willing to let that smelly man look at you? What a joke. He Linsheng looked at her twice and she felt it was more disgusting than eating a fly.

Mrs. He also felt that her son was not performing well, so no matter how beautiful Chen Afu was, she was still someone else's wife, and the wife of her own man's mortal enemy, Chu Lingxuan.

She laughed and praised Chen Yuhui a few words, such as being dignified, steady and versatile, which made Chen Yuhui laugh again.

When Mrs. He said that Chen Yuhui was stable, there was not only a hint of sarcasm in Chen Yuqing's eyes, but even He Ying snorted.

Mrs. He proposed to visit the old lady again. Jiang smiled and said, The old lady is not very strong and is still bedridden.

At almost noon, the midwife took the baby out to bathe, and everyone filled the basin.

After the meal, they talked and laughed for a while, and then the He family left.

Jiang saw that Chen Afu seemed to have something to say to him, so he sent Sister Chen Yuqing away. Asked, What's wrong with Fu'er?

Chen Afu asked the servants to leave, helped Jiang sit down on the Arhat bed, put his arm around her and said, Mother, you have to be strong. You have to believe that my father is a good official, and you have to believe in us. We will not let him Something happened to dad and this family... Jiang felt that something big had happened. She grabbed Chen Afu's hand and asked, Fu'er, what happened? It couldn't be your dad...

Before he finished speaking, he was already in tears.

Chen Afu nodded and said, Well, yesterday my uncle received a letter from my third uncle, saying that the emperor intended to make my father a minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, so someone started to impeach my father. All the evil things that old lady Chen did in the countryside were all blamed on me. On my father's head. Here, I mainly talk about how my father abandoned his first wife, and how he suddenly had money to buy a field and move into a house. Both of these things were easy to handle. I don't blame my father, it's the evil old woman Zhao. I did it. It's just Jiangnan, I don't know what was collected... She briefly talked about Chen Shiying's affairs, and then asked Jiang if he knew about Chen Shiying's affairs in Jiangnan.

When Jiang heard this, his body swayed a few times and then softened.

Chen Afu hugged her and said softly, Mom, we can't fall. This family still needs to be supported by you. My uncle has already gone to Shizhou Mansion to beg his uncle, and he has sent Manager Luo to the capital with heavy gifts to beg for help. Dad should be fine. . It’s just that Mom wants to tell me about Dad’s situation in Jiangnan. If something happens, see if there are any remedies...

When he said please ask his uncle, Chen Afu obviously lacked confidence and wondered whether Mr. Luo would help. But whether he helps or not, I have to ask him. There is really no other way.

After hearing this, Mrs. Jiang hugged Chen Afu and cried bitterly. Sobbed, Fu'er, thank you, thank you son-in-law. At this time, I can only rely on you.

After crying, he talked about Chen Shiying's official career in Jiangnan.

The two things his mother did in her hometown made Chen Shiying angry and scared. When he went to Jiangnan, he asked Jiang to jail the old lady and Tang. The old lady, the Tang family, and the Tang family also did a few bad things, and Chen Shiying made amends after learning about them. The money he gathered in Jiangnan mainly came from Jiang's dowry shop and his servants doing business with the Tang family. Moreover, many of the big deals were outside his jurisdiction. He couldn't find any big stains in Jiangnan. There might be small things, but every official had them, so it wouldn't affect his official career. I just don’t know if Old Mrs. Chen has done anything with the Tang family and the Tang family that Chen Shiying and the Jiang family don’t know about...

Those two things alone cannot touch Chen Shiying's roots. The worst possibility is that he will be demoted a few levels. As long as he is still an official, he can just find a way to revive him in the future.

Chen Afu was half relieved. I hope that Chen Shiying and Jiang Shi have sharp eyes, and they will discover and remedy all the bad things those people have done.

Jiang is most afraid of Chen Shiying going to jail. As long as he is good, even if he is not an official, she will be happy.

Chen Afu returned to Chu's house after having dinner here. Before leaving, Jiang gave Chen Afu some banknotes to use for relationship management. Chen Afu didn't ask for it, saying that she and Chu Lingxuan had already given the gift to show their relationship.

Jiang forced him to give it to her, saying that his family had money and had no intention of asking his son-in-law to pay for his hard work. Besides, no amount of money can buy the green-leaf agarwood.

As soon as Chen Afu and the others left, a servant came to report that the old lady wanted to see Madam.

Jiang clenched his fists in his sleeves and went to the old lady's place.

Since being scared by Chen Afu last time, the old woman's health has become worse again. It was not enough for Mr. Jiang to go to the temple to offer incense. The old lady also asked a Taoist woman to come into the house to perform Dharma, drink talisman water, and take many decoctions. My spirits gradually improved, but I still couldn't move much, and I ate, drank and pooped in bed.

Now she no longer lives in Wanshou Hall. She lives in another courtyard and named the courtyard An Tang. The name is called nunnery, and ghosts don't dare to come to my door if I think of calling her by this name.

Because she didn’t dream about the old man and didn’t encounter a “ghost”, the old lady felt that asking the Taoist priest to do the magic and drinking the talisman water had an effect, so she relaxed.

That time, Chen Shiying came back from the countryside and heard about the dream entrustment incident, and he didn't quite believe it. It might be possible to dream about the old man, but how could the old man say those words and have a white head floating in the air? How could it be possible! But from the old lady's reaction, she had indeed seen a white head floating in the air in the middle of the night.

A suspicion flashed through Chen Shiying's mind. Could it be that Fu'er had found someone to pretend to be a ghost to scare the old lady? At the same time as this idea, he rejected it again. In those days, he and the Jiang family sent people to guard the courtyard tightly, so that not to mention people, not even birds could get in.

Antang is a remote courtyard, incomparable with the Wanshou Hall that we entered three times before. There are only six rooms here, not even wing rooms, and there are no bamboos, trees, flowers, or any dark corners that could hide ghosts or people.
