Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

The third lady asked Ms. Li if she knew who was spreading rumors, and she said she didn’t know. Mrs. Li really didn't know that she couldn't get involved in the outer courtyard and that all the key positions in the inner courtyard had been replaced by the third lady.

Madam Chu San said, "Okay, I'll have someone go check it out. If it's confirmed, we'll deal with her."

It took a long time to find out that the source was actually a rough woman in Li's courtyard. Many people testified that it was this woman who said it. The third lady was beaten ten times and kicked out.

Mrs. Li was so angry that she hid in the courtyard and did not dare to go out.

The day passed by on the 25th, and Chen Afu, who had been pretending to be ill for three days, also got up. She was leaving tomorrow, and she still had some things to do, so she couldn't continue to pretend.

She got up early and led others to make golden silk cakes. I made some first and gave two pieces to each yard owner for breakfast, but of course I still didn’t give them to Mr. Li.

After breakfast, we continued to work. We sent someone to deliver the 40 yuan for the Queen Mother to Anrong Hall, and the 20 yuan for Prince Rui's Mansion. As soon as they were packed into food boxes, people from the outer courtyard came to report that Princess Rui had arrived with the second son. .

Chen Afu quickly changed his clothes, washed his hands, and went out to greet him. As soon as they left the main room door, they saw Princess Rui leading the wet nurse holding Li Xuan and several servants into the courtyard wall.

Chen Afu walked a few steps forward to greet her and said with a smile, "It's a good time for you to come. I was just about to ask someone to bring snacks to Xuan'er."

Princess Rui smiled reluctantly. If she looked carefully, her eye circles were red and she seemed to have lost weight.

Chen Afu was stunned and asked in a low voice, "Hey, what's wrong?"

Princess Rui smiled again, and several people entered the east room and invited Princess Rui to sit on the kang while the girl made tea. He put Li Xuan on the kang, put a piece of golden silk cake into his hand, and asked the servants to retreat.

Chen Afu then asked, "What, are you in trouble?"

Princess Rui nodded, covered her mouth with a handkerchief and cried softly. When Li Xuan saw that his mother was sad, he opened his mouth and started crying. The gold cake in his mouth spat out everywhere.

Chen Afu quickly took Li Xuan into his arms, wiped his face, and asked, "Princess, what's wrong with you?"

Princess Rui wiped her tears, took Chen Afu's arm and said, "Grandma Chu, you are the only one who can save my Xuan'er now."

Chen Afu was stunned, "How do you say this?"

Princess Rui cried, "I told the prince about your method when I returned home. The prince was also happy and said that the emperor sister could even take out her own green leaf agarwood to treat Xuan'er. The father is the grandfather and the queen mother is the queen. Grandma will definitely be willing to..."

But Prince Rui couldn't ask for it directly from them, so he went to the palace to find Concubine De and asked her to ask the emperor or the queen mother for a piece of green leaf agarwood to treat Xuan'er's illness. However, Concubine De was unwilling and even scolded Prince Rui, saying that he was unfilial. The green leaves of agarwood are rich in gold and valuable, and are of great benefit to the health of the emperor and the queen mother. Even if the younger generation has it, they have to take it out to honor their elders. How dare they reach out to ask for it from their elders. Not only did she not want it herself, she also didn’t allow Prince Rui to ask for it...

The more Princess Rui cried, the sadder she said, "The Emperor and the Queen Mother have more than one root. If they had only one root, I wouldn't have that thought. I know that Li Chao grew up in front of his mother, and she likes Li Chao more." , and definitely hope that Li Chao can inherit the title in the future. But what about my Xuan'er? How innocent he is! He was obviously fooled by Li Chao's biological mother, but he still wanted the son of that evil woman to inherit the title. The son of that evil woman So I must have thought of this step when I risked my life to do bad things. Grandma Chu, please, I beg you, take my Xuan'er to the countryside. Just take me how you took the eldest sister of the Chu family in the past. he……"

Chen Afu looked at Li Xuan in his arms. The little guy still remembered her and was very attached to her. He watched Princess Rui cry with her eyes, but her hands were tightly grasping Chen Afu's clothes, even the golden silk cake was lost. This child is not very stupid, and is much better than the little girl Chu at that time. As long as he is corrected properly and allowed to slowly get out of his fear, the disease can be cured. She also likes Li Xuan, sympathizes with him, and wants to help him.

But his identity was too sensitive, and she was afraid of attracting more attention to Tangyuan. What's more, she can't make the decision on such a big matter.

Chen Afu said in embarrassment, "Princess, I also like Xuan'er, but... taking him to Tangyuan is a really big responsibility. He is of royal blood, and I'm afraid that if I don't treat him well, or something else happens, Our family cannot afford any mishaps."

Princess Rui wiped away her tears, her eyes full of perseverance, and said, "Grandma Chu, I have already thought about it, and my prince is also willing. Rather than letting Xuaner live such a stupid life, it is better to let him go to the countryside with you. , give him a bit of hope. If he can't be cured, we don't blame you. If something goes wrong, it will be his life. I have always fought for him, and I have no regrets. What's more, I'm afraid that after the prince and I die, , even if Xuan'er is stupid, he will not live long, after all, his mother has a grudge against Li Chao for killing his mother."

With Princess Rui's words in mind, Chen Afu really couldn't find any other excuse and said, "This matter is of great importance. I can't make the decision alone. I have to ask my elders. In addition, what can the Emperor do about this matter?" Agree?"

Princess Rui said, "My prince went to report to the emperor yesterday. The emperor said that as long as you are willing, Xuan'er will be handed over to you."

She has been crying with Prince Rui every day these days. Prince Rui also feels sorry for his legitimate son and hopes to cure the child's illness. The couple had already discussed it. Princess Rui went to beg Chen Afu, and he went to beg the Chu family's grandfather and grandson.

Although Prince Rui is absurd, he is extremely smart. His "self-degradation" was not only because he was a womanizer, but also made it clear that he was not interested in that position. He had been to Fuyuan and saw Chu Hanyan. He also found his medicine in Fuyuan. He intuitively felt that Chen Afu was not as simple as he appeared. Therefore, he believed more firmly than Princess Rui that Chen Afu could definitely cure Li Xuan's illness.

Princess Chen Afuluri and her son had lunch at Zhuxuan and played with Li Xuan for a while. Li Xuan liked it very much and was often made to giggle. It took a long time to send the mother and son away.

Just after dinner, Chu Lingxuan came back. Seeing that he was tired from work and his face was gloomy, he just didn't have a good rest. Chen Afu quickly asked someone to prepare food and bathing water.

After he had eaten, he dried his hair and let him sleep. Chu Lingxuan also wanted to drag Chen Afu to sleep with him, but Chen Afu refused with a blushing face, saying that many things had not been packed yet.

As soon as Chu Lingxuan hit the pillow, there was a roar. Chen Afu put down the tent and went to the west room to pack the boxes and cages. The Marquis Mansion is not her usual place. Most of the things in the dowry, except for the big items that are difficult to carry, will be packed and taken to Tangyuan.

She was instructing Nanny Li and the girls to clean up. The girl from Anrongtang came to ask Chen Afu, saying that the old marquis and the third master had something to do and asked her to come to see her.
