Chen Afu had already fallen asleep, and when he heard that Chu Lingxuan was back, he quickly got up.

Seeing Chu Lingxuan's tired appearance and dark eyes, Chen Afu was extremely distressed. For the sake of his father, he was tired, and perhaps a lot of anger. said, "Ling Xuan, I'm sorry for making it difficult for you." It's not surprising that my uncle doesn't agree, so let's ask someone else. ”

Chu Lingxuan shook his head and said, "Uncle agreed, he said that the high-yield grain produced by his father-in-law is not only the credit of his father-in-law, but also his credit. Jiangnan's uncle has no problem, but no one can erase his father-in-law's achievements in Dingzhou Mansion in the past two years, and he will do his best to exonerate his father-in-law. ”

This is really good news.

Chen Afu knew that although Chu Lingxuan didn't say it, he should have been harassed or reprimanded.

Chu Lingxuan went to Shizhou Mansion here, and he was indeed troubled by the Luo family.

He arrived at Luofu the next day, and the servants took him to the guest room and left him alone. He wanted to go into the inner house to visit the old lady, but without Mrs. Luo's order, he couldn't enter the second door at all. In the evening, Luo Xunfu did not see him.

Fortunately, Luo Siye's relationship with him has been good since he was a child, and Luo Si's grandmother has a very good impression of Chen Afu. Fourth Master Luo "secretly" went to see him, and led him to the back house to see Mrs. Luo.

Mrs. Luo's health has not been very good, and after the accident of her daughter and son-in-law, she was even more angry and half paralyzed, and she could no longer get out of bed.

When Chu Lingxuan came to her bedside, he knelt down and kowtowed to her, choked up, and said, "Xuan'er is not filial, which makes grandma worry." ”

The old lady lying on the bed turned her head away from him angrily, and cried, "Ruthless stinky boy, I haven't come to see my old woman for so long." I think of my most pitiful daughter, my most beloved grandson, and I think of it to death. It's inconvenient for my daughter to come to see me, so you should come to the house more often. really married a daughter-in-law, and even the closest grandmother and uncle didn't want to see him. ”

Chu Lingxuan kowtowed a few more times, cried, and said, "Grandma is ashamed of her grandson." I also miss my grandmother and uncle, but I just know that I have done something that made my uncle and aunt angry, and I want to wait for them to be angry before I come to ask for sin. ”

This is just one of the reasons. Another reason is that since he married Chen Afu, there have been more things, not only in the army, but also in the Nine Emperors and the hidden forces, so he has not taken time to come over. It is more than 300 miles away from Dingzhou Mansion, and even if you only stay in Luofu for one day, it will take at least four days to go back and forth. For the current Chu Lingxuan, four days is precious.

Fourth Master Luo on the side smiled and persuaded, "Grandma, if Cousin Xuan doesn't come, you think he will cry, saying that our relatives and grandsons don't have grandchildren." When people come, you turn your back and don't see you. Don't think that Cousin Xuan really thinks that grandma won't see him anymore, he's gone, and your old man is here to scold us again. ”

When the old lady heard this, she turned her head, Chu Lingxuan threw herself into her arms, and the two grandparents hugged and cried.

Luo Siye persuaded again, and the two of them collected their tears. Chu Lingxuan got up and personally wiped the old lady's face with wet wipes, and massaged her, which finally made the old lady's face smile.

The old lady was sixty-two years old this year, her hair was all white, she was very thin, and her face was pale, much older than what Chu Lingxuan had seen before. He was secretly ashamed, he should put down his work, put down his official duties, and come to visit the old man earlier. He always thought that the old man was angry with him, but he didn't expect that the more he didn't show up, the more angry the old man would be, and the worse his body would be.

In fact, even if Chen Shiying didn't come to this matter, Chu Lingxuan would come to Luofu and ask Chen Afu for a green leaf agarwood for the old lady. He had already heard and seen that this incense not only tasted good, but also strengthened the body and prolonged life. Just look at Ah Fu, giving birth to a child is so dangerous, and being able to give birth to a child smoothly must have a lot to do with green leaf agarwood. The incense said that it was for his uncle, and he knew that his uncle would also use it for his grandmother.

The old lady scolded again, "Bad boy, what's wrong with your cousin? If you marry her, not only will Yan'er's life be better, but the relationship with your uncle will be closer in the future. ”

Chu Lingxuan blushed, sat on the edge of the bed and took the old lady's hand and whispered, "Grandma said this, so that the grandson has no face, and he will also shame his cousin." ”

Fourth Master Luo also smiled, "Grandma, the third sister will cry to death again after hearing your words." ”

The old lady thought about it and said with a smile, "No, when people get old, they get confused, and they start to talk nonsense with their mouths open." ”

Chu Lingxuan took out a cotton shoulder that Chen Afu had specially made for the old lady and gave it to her, and took out two jars of soaking wine, as well as snacks made by Mama Hua, and the tonic he bought himself. The old lady only glanced at the tonic a few times, and she didn't even look at the things that Chu Lingxuan's daughter-in-law gave her.

Chu Lingxuan smiled and whispered to the old child, "Grandma, this kind of soaking wine has extremely precious medicinal materials in it, which can strengthen the body, not only my grandfather likes it, I heard that even the Queen Mother and her old man love to drink it." I have given you two altars before, and if my uncle is unhappy that my nephew has given it to his subordinates, it will be ruined. ”

When the old lady heard that even the Queen Mother liked this wine, and she could strengthen her body, she said, "You sent this wine before?" ”

Fourth Master Luo hurriedly said regretfully, "That's really a tyrannical thing." The things sent by Cousin Xuan, I, and my father have all rewarded them. ”

He wanted to say "my mother", but he was afraid that his mother would be scolded, so he changed it to "my father" again.

The old lady was reluctant to scold her son, and blamed Chu Ling for preaching, "Bad boy, why don't you make it clear to your uncle?"

Chu Lingxuan said with a smile, "The Queen Mother likes that wine, and I also went to Beijing a few days ago to do errands, and I listened to what my third aunt said." Grandma drinks half a cup every day in the future, which is good for the body. ”

The old lady said, "Bring an altar to my eldest son, he works day and night on the affairs of the court, and he works hard." ”

Chu Lingxuan said, "I brought another altar for my uncle. ”

After talking for a while, the old lady became sleepy, and Chu Lingxuan and Luo Siye got up to say goodbye.

The old lady took Chu Lingxuan's hand and instructed, "Your uncle is angry in his heart, so you will listen to the scolding of you." He is really good for you, and he really plans for your mother, and he broke his heart for your mother and son before. Don't chill his heart, you must mend the relationship between you......"

Chu Lingxuan agreed and withdrew.

Fourth Master Luo accompanied Chu Lingxuan to the outer study of Luo Xunfu. Fourth Master Luo patted Chu Lingxuan's shoulder, raised his leg and left.

Chu Lingxuan looked at the stars in the sky and entered the courtyard with a hard head.

The little guy who guarded the door did not stop him, Chu Lingxuan went directly into the study, and Luo Xunfu was looking down at the letter.

Chu Lingxuan made a long gesture and shouted, "Uncle." ”

Luo Xunfu didn't seem to hear it, and didn't look up at all.

Chu Lingxuan didn't speak anymore, and stood stupidly for a long time, until the middle of the moon, Luo Xunfu still didn't raise his head.

Chu Lingxuan shouted again, "Uncle." ”

Luo Xunfu finally raised his head and sneered, "Do you still know that there is an uncle of mine?"

Chu Ling Xuanchang touched the ground and said, "Uncle is ashamed of his nephew." Uncle's great kindness to his nephew, nephew will never forget......" and said a lot of the help that Luo Xunfu had helped Abbot Chen and himself before.

Luo Xunfu waved his hand and said, "Those things should have been done by me." Yun'er is my sister-in-law, and you are my nephew. What I have done is to hope that your life will be better in the future, and that your mother's life will be better. But what did you do? Could it be that the daughter of my Luo family is not as good as the illegitimate daughter of a prefect? By doing this, you have not only insulted yourself, but also your noble mother...... "Balabala, even scolded a few times, and taught Chu Lingxuan a lesson. got angry, and smashed a book on Chu Lingxuan's head.

Chu Lingxuan didn't dare to hide, lowered his head and listened to the lesson, and then began to explain. Chen Afu is not an illegitimate daughter at all, but Chen Shiying's true eldest daughter. Just because Chen's mother was vicious and selfish, she drove Chen Shiying's real wife away and let Chen Afu live in someone else's house. At the beginning, for the sake of Chen Shiying's reputation, Chen Afu was aggrieved to marry Chu Lingxuan in the name of an illegitimate daughter. He also talked about Chen Afu's wisdom and virtuousness, and he "cured" the "dementia" of Yan'er and Rui Wang's sister-in-law, and his mother also liked Chen Afu very, very much. At the same time, Chen Afu was also valued by Master Wuzhi, saying that she had great blessings. And, offer the green leaf agarwood. also hinted that the sick leg of the Nine Emperor Princes has been cured, and he has endured humiliation for so many years, and he will definitely avenge the second prince's "injured leg" and seize the throne...... In the end, he said that since these things have been shaken out, he will let Chen Shiying restore Chen Afu's true identity as the eldest daughter.

These points undoubtedly touched the heart of Luo Xunfu, especially the last point. The second prince helped Princess Rongzhao to force her sister to leave the house, and forced her brother-in-law to be a concubine, so angry that her mother was paralyzed in bed, and she kept finding a reason to beat herself. He knew that if the second prince became the emperor, not only would his future be gone, but it would be possible to dismiss the official and seize the family.

Moreover, it turns out that Chen Afu is not an illegitimate daughter. Judging from the fact that she is wronged and seeks perfection, her filial piety is even more commendable.

Luo Xunfu looked down at the green leaf agarwood in his hand, and as soon as he took it out, the fragrance that he had never smelled before immediately spread. Immersed in this fragrance, I feel refreshed, as if my whole body is relaxed. I heard that this kind of agarwood is made by the master of Wuzhi, not only the fragrance is long, but also can strengthen the body, prolong life, just for the sick mother. This kind of incense Wuzhi Master has only sent the emperor and Prince An, and Chen Afu also has it, which is indeed valued by Master Wuzhi. She can also "cure" dementia, which also shows that this woman is far from being as simple as it seems.

Luo Xunfu figured out the joints and said, "Chen Shiying is a good official, he has something to do, and it is a loss to the court." Even if Xuan'er doesn't intercede, I will do my best to exonerate him......"

The two talked for a long time, and it was already past time before Chu Lingxuan went to the guest room to rest. The next day, Chu Lingxuan visited the two uncles again, but neither of them saw him.

Second Mrs. Luo was angry that Chu Lingxuan did not marry her concubine. The reason why Mrs. Luo was angry was known except for Chu Lingxuan, and the rest of the Luo family did not know. It turned out that Mrs. Luo wanted to tell one of her nieces to Chu Lingxuan as a step-room, but Chu Lingxuan did not agree, and married such a woman with a background, Mrs. Luo was so angry that her chest hurt.

Chu Lingxuan couldn't, so he had to let his subordinates help bring them in the gifts he gave them. He went to visit the old lady again, and set off for Dingzhou Mansion in the next morning.

On the 12th, Steward Luo also sent someone to deliver a letter from the capital. For so many days, the excerpt of the imperial history's impeachment of Chen Shiying flew into the palace like snowflakes. There are a total of five crimes, one is to abandon his wife after the middle lift, and stop his wife and remarry. Although the Wang family did not rank in the county government, she entered the Chen family in the name of a child daughter-in-law, served and gave Chen Shiying's father a funeral, and was the de facto wife. The second is that Chen Shiying accepted huge bribes after the middle move, bought a large piece of land and a house. The third is to connive at the Zhao clan and the fish and meat neighbors. There are also two things about Chen Shiying in Jiangnan, one is to accept five thousand taels of silver from a merchant, and the other is to seek the heirloom of an old Xiucai - two authentic paintings of Zhong Xuan, and sent someone to kill that Xiucai.

Chen Shiying refuted the last three things with burning words, saying that he had not done them. And for the first two things, he only said that he couldn't stop his wife and take it again, because when he married his wife, the Wang family was already married, and the money to buy the land and house was given by the Tang family......

Chen Shiying has been suspended because of these things, and he cannot return to the Dingzhou capital for the time being, and is under investigation in the capital.

Steward Luo's letter also said that the Chu family entrusted the relationship, and Prince Rui would also go all out......

Chen Afu was so angry that he gritted his teeth, Chen Shiying was really stupid and filial. For the sake of that wicked old woman, she actually wanted to take herself. Even if the last three charges are cleared, if the first two charges are confirmed, not only will he have no future, but he will also go to prison.

She picked up a pen and wrote a letter, and then tore it up again. asked Luo Fang to be called, and after such and such an order, let him go to Chen Shiying's hometown immediately. No matter how evil that evil woman is, Chen Shiying will not clean her up for the sake of filial piety, so she must pass these things to the elders of the Chen family and let them take action.

On the thirteenth day of the winter month, Chen Shiying's suspension pending trial reached Dingzhou Mansion as quickly as possible.

Jiang also got a letter sent by her father. His father is also asking people everywhere in the capital to find relationships, but unfortunately he can't find someone with hands and eyes, and the general relationship will definitely not help so much, and the son-in-law is afraid that he will be in trouble this time......

Jiang came to Chen Afu again to cry and find a way.

This time, it was Chen Yulan who accompanied the Jiang family, and his eyes were red. After seeing Chen Afu, he pulled Chen Afu's sleeve and cried.

There are some things that Chen Afu can't say much, so he can only comfort them, Luo Xunfu, the top boss, will definitely help, and the capital has also found a lot of connections, Chu Lingxuan has found a few more witnesses, there should be no big deal. Let them not mess with themselves first, go back and close the door and live their lives, and ignore the rumors from the outside world......

Now the Chu family and Chen Afu are the most powerful backers of the Jiang family's mother and son, they listened to her words, had some bottom in their hearts, and went home.

After returning home, Jiang called the chief steward and some of the main stewards to the council hall and briefly reported the situation. Let them not mess around, and don't tell the old lady and a few girls about these things, especially not the old lady and the second girl.
