Chapter 309 It’s Time to Let Go
As soon as Mrs. Chu San said a few words, Mrs. Li did not dare to make trouble again. She was not afraid of the old Marquis and the Second Master on the other side of the screen, but she was afraid of Hua Chang to the core of her being.
She glared at Mrs. Song and said, "What's wrong with my second daughter-in-law today? I've never seen you so diligent. Go and sit down. You're confused. You should say that I'm an evil mother-in-law for treating my bastard daughter-in-law harshly."
Mrs. Song was so angry that her face turned red and she had tears in her eyes, but she didn't dare to cry. It happens every time. He lets her do it in private, but when something goes wrong, he puts all the blame on her. The man asked her to endure it, saying that it would be fine if the family was separated, but when would the family be divided?
Mrs. Chu San snorted coldly, "I am the confused one. I really thought that the second sister-in-law was treating the concubine's wife in Holland."
The words made Mrs. Li blush and made Mrs. Song even more frightened.
Chen Afu glanced at Mr. Li, and to put it bluntly, Mr. Li was targeting him today. She has done it so obviously, and he doesn't need to save face for her anymore.
Chen Afu smiled and used serving chopsticks to pick up some dishes for Mrs. Chu, and said, "Before I came to the capital, my mother-in-law specially taught me to be filial to my third aunt. She also asked me to learn more from my third aunt, how to have a bodhisattva heart and walk like a thunderbolt. In the future, the third aunt should teach her nephews and wives how to win over those who are kind-hearted and how to deal with those who do evil, and not to hide their secrets. "
Mrs. Chu San chuckled and said, "Oh, my sister-in-law said it so well about my bodhisattva heart and thunderbolt tactics. However, I am good at small tricks such as winning people's hearts and attacking evil people. If the boss and his wife want to learn, I will teach them. Promise not to hide anything." He then said to Chu Hua and Chu Zhen, "You girls should also learn from it. It will be useful when you come to your husband's house."
Chu Hua quickly said jokingly, "Third aunt teaches, we will learn."
Chu Zhen, Chu Lin, and Chu Bi were all afraid of the third lady, and when they saw what she said, they all nodded.
Seeing this, Ms. Li became even more angry. She glared at Chu Lin and Chu Bi fiercely, and then at Ms. Song. Those people all lowered their heads with guilty conscience.
The women's table was divided into two groups, but the men's table was united and friendly, and even the second master drank a lot of wine.
After the meal, everyone went to the hall to talk for a while before dispersing.
After leaving the hanging flower gate, everyone bowed to see the old man off. He led Chu Ling'an and Chu Lingwei, who lived in the outer courtyard, to the left front. Afterwards, Erfang and his family walked west, while Chen Afu and others walked east.
At this time, night has fallen, and the bright half moon hangs diagonally in the sky. Looking around, there were layers of warped cornices as far as the eye could see, endless twists and turns of the corridor, and staggered trees stretching into the distance. This deep courtyard was so unfamiliar, which made Chen Afu feel inexplicably panicked.
Suddenly, a big hand held her little hand. The big hand was thick and warm, making her feel at ease. She held him back again, with the fingers of her big hand spread out, and the fingers of her big and small hands interlaced.
They looked at each other and smiled, and their pace couldn't help but speed up.
After returning to Zhuxuan, Chen Afu gave Li only twenty taels of silver as a meeting gift, and told Chu Lingxuan how to find trouble and how Mrs. Chu would deal with her affairs.
Chu Lingxuan said, "Second Aunt is stupid and self-righteous. Her little calculation is not enough. Just think of it for the sake of Second Uncle and don't care about her. However, if she dares to openly provoke you, you don't have to be polite. ”
Chen Afu nodded.
After washing, the two of them changed into casual clothes. Chen Afu wore a half-worn bean-colored silk jacket and a lilac-colored long skirt, and his scattered hair hung down like black satin.
Chu Lingxuan's heart couldn't help but pull Chen Afu into his arms. Grandma Li quickly led the two girls back.
Chen Afu blushed and said angrily, "I'm not ashamed in front of others."
Chu Lingxuan said, "I hug my wife, what's there to be ashamed of?"
Chen Afu let him hold his arms around his waist, tilted his head back slightly, stretched out his hands to pull his hair into a bun on top of his head, and picked up a hosta on the dressing table next to him to fix his hair.
Chu Lingxuan looked at her tenderly and murmured, "That time when I returned to Tangyuan, I saw you teaching Yan'er to recite the nursery rhyme 'Little Swallow'. You were wearing clothes of this color and style, and your skirt was also like this." This color and your hair were combed like this. It was evening and the sky was filled with colorful clouds. I felt like you were a fairy flying out of the glow."
Chen Afu thought for a while, it should have been not long after she went to work in Tangyuan. She looked at him happily and smiled, "You fell in love with me at that time?"
Chu Lingxuan shook his head, which made Chen Afu very hurt and his little mouth pouted. He whispered softly, "Are you so honest that you can't even tell a white lie?"
Chu Lingxuan curled his lips and hugged her waist tighter. He said softly, "At that time, I was thinking that no man would be lucky enough to marry such a beautiful, kind, and intelligent girl. At that time, I never thought that I would be the lucky man. Since something happened at home, I never thought about women, I never thought about getting a wife, all I thought about was how to do big things... I didn't dare to think about such a good girl like you, for fear that I wouldn't be able to protect you but would harm you... Later, when I got in touch, I felt that I I can no longer live without you, I want to be with you every day, and I feel that you are also a major event in my life, the first major event... I started planning how to protect your safety and how to prevent that woman from reaching out to you. How to make the elders willingly accept you... After thinking about this, I started to think about how to marry you home... If the seventh prince hadn't made trouble and made us get engaged hastily under those circumstances, I would have let you and your My parents saw my greater sincerity..."
Chen Afu was touched. This man considered everything for her, planned everything for her, and took great pains to marry her home.
This man gave her the marriage certificate that she had dreamed of in her previous life, and he took great pains to give it to her. He did not swear, but proved how much he loved her with practical actions.
She was abandoned by that man, but God gave her a better man.
The man who made her love him without self-esteem, love him so much that she lost her life... Why did she think of him again at this beautiful moment? A layer of mist welled up in her eyes, and she couldn't think of him anymore.
The past love, the past hatred, the past unwillingness, the past things... It's time to let go.
In this life, he met her for the first time, he saved her, this is his and her destiny.
Later, they met again, got to know each other, and fell in love. This is his and her fate.
From now on, in her eyes and in her heart, there is only this man!
She hugged his neck, buried her head in his chest, and tears flowed out.
Chu Lingxuan asked hurriedly, "Why are you crying?"
Chen Afu didn't raise her head and said in a muffled voice, "Idiot, I am moved."
As soon as she finished speaking, her body froze. She felt his heat...
