The scenery around Anguo Temple is quiet and there are many forests. Dong Yue'er holds her son in one hand. Seeing that the woman in front of her actually wanted to take her to a forest, Dong Yue'er suddenly felt a little nervous. Looking at the woods in front of her, she stopped vigilantly and asked, "Where is your master?"
She is good-looking, and some slutty or playboys are not good at taking action at Anguo Temple these days, so she lied to her that there was news about Chu Sui. Dong Yue'er knew that Uncle Zhou was hiding in the dark and was not reminded. She didn't believe anyone. Today, Uncle Zhou hinted that she might see the grandma, so she relaxed and followed her.
The forty-year-old woman turned around and pointed to the grove and said, "It's hot in the summer, and my master is here to escape the heat. Don't worry, madam, at the foot of the emperor, we are not those evil villains. Besides, my master is a wife and will not do anything to his wife."
Dong Yue'er felt relieved after hearing this. Remembering that Uncle Zhou said that he would show up if there was something wrong with it. Dong Yue'er resisted the urge to turn around, clenched her son's hand, and continued to follow the woman. When she walked to the edge of the woods, she saw two figures wearing fine cloth clothes standing behind a tree. Both of them were wearing hats, and they could only tell that they were women.
They are all women, Dong Yue'er feels even more at ease.
The forty-year-old woman led them to the master and lowered her head and retreated to the distance to set off for a watch.
Through the veil, the disguised lady looked at the boy again with her eyes fixed on her eyes and asked directly: "How old is this child? When was it born?"
Her voice was not gentle, but a bit majestic, a bit like the maids and nannies who usually interrogated maids and nannies who were messing with errands. Dong Yueer was born as a village girl. When the lady asked this, she had no leisure to question who the other party was. She looked at her son who was nervous and leaned against her and said in a singular manner: "Xu is seven years old, born on February 26, 2018, Bingshen year."
The grandmother had long recalled the years when her grandson returned to Beijing with her daughter-in-law. Including the journey back to Beijing and ten months of pregnancy, the birth date of this child is basically consistent.
"What is his name?" His eyes fell on the boy's face, and the tone of the lady changed slightly.
"Brother Run, Run is silently moist." Dong Yue'er hugged her son in front of her and asked the lady expectantly, "Have you ever seen my husband? He is almost so tall and very handsome. Brother Run looks very much like him. Madam, do you know where he is?"
The lady looked at her hands and knew that she was gesturing at the height of her grandson at that time. She said perfunctorily: "There is a young man on the street where I live. He said something a bit like you, but I have to confirm whether what you said is true first, otherwise I will bring you over with you by rashly. If he doesn't know you, I should be blamed, right?"
Dong Yue'er believed more and more that the person in front of her was Chu Sui's neighbor.
Uncle Zhou had his plan. According to the truth, she shouldn't have known Chu Sui's identity, so Uncle Zhou arranged for her to come to Anguo Temple to first call her husband. If someone thinks of Chu Sui based on the appearance of "Shi Qian" or his son and introduces her to the Chu family, it would be best. But if not, she would kneel for five days, she could fabricate a guide and go directly to the Duke of Chu's mansion to recognize her relatives.
Be sure that the other party was familiar with Chu Sui, Dong Yue'er naturally knew everything and told her how she met Chu Sui and how Chu Sui abandoned her. She also said that she was not familiar with Ezhou. After Chu Sui left, she moved back to Yueyang with her servants. She met a villain halfway through. She survived by chance and rented a house in a small town with her own personal silver notes. Found that she was pregnant, Dong Yue'er first took care of her baby. Last year, she was almost exhausted, and Dong Yue'er was about to be unable to make it, so she resolutely went north to find her husband.
These words were taught by Uncle Zhou. Dong Yue'er memorized them and asked the details. For example, Dong Yue'er could answer them as well.
"Do you recognize words?" The lady of the Grandma still had doubts when she thought of herself as a village girl, but she could say "silently moisten things" and write such a husband-seeking notice.
Dong Yue'er looked dark and lowered her head and said, "I only recognize some of them. My husband taught me. He is knowledgeable, has good writing, and can paint..." Recalling that Chu Sui had been kind to her and once held her hand to teach her to recognize words, Dong Yue'er really shed tears.
Mrs. Chu pursed her lips and couldn't help but remind her: "Without the order of parents, no matchmaker's words, what kind of wife do you think of him?"
Dong Yue'er lowered her head in shame.
The mother was ridiculed, and Brother Run couldn't help but leaned against her mother, staring at Mrs. Chu Er fiercely. The seven-year-old boy was far more cunning than other children under the deliberate guidance of a person with a heart. However, protecting her mother is naturally, so hatred was clearly conveyed in those eyes, which were clearly black and white.
Mrs. Chu frowned, just looking at the child who was probably her grandson. She twisted her handkerchief and swallowed the rest of the scolding.
"Okay, we all know the matter. We will tell him about it when we go back, but I can't guarantee whether he is willing to recognize you or not. In this way, I will arrange for you mother and son to stay in one of my villages for a while. If there is news there, I will let you know you." The lady said in a complicated mood, and her eyes were mostly on Brother Run.
Dong Yue'er lowered her head and knelt down and thanked her, guessing that the matter was very likely to be done. Chu Sui had sent someone to kill her, but now she gave birth to a smart and sensible son for him. As long as she pretended not to know that the assassin was sent by him, Chu Sui would accept her for her son's sake. After all, her Run Ge'er was the eldest grandson of the Duke of Chu's Mansion.
With hope, Dong Yue'er led the child away.
Mrs. Chu Er watched Brother Run'er's small back, and felt inexplicably reluctant. This child looked as beautiful as her son when she was a child. If she was really her grandson, she would never refuse to admit it. However, the daughter-in-law would be willing to suddenly have such a big concubine. It's okay for the daughter-in-law to say that, what if the queen is angry, what should I do? After all, the daughter-in-law represents the face of the Chengen Marquis' Mansion.
"Mother, what should we do?" Mrs. Chu Er whispered to her mother-in-law for help.
The lady looked much calmer than her and said calmly: "Go back to the house first and ask Shi Qian before talking."
However, on the way back to the capital, the lady closed her eyes and leaned against the car board. Under her old eyes, her eyes kept turning back and forth, obviously she was worried. Mrs. Chu looked at the curtains blankly, with grandson on one side and princess’ daughter on the other, and was unable to make a choice.
It was almost noon, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law returned to the Duke's Mansion.
Dingfengtang immediately received the news.
Not long after Lu Mingyu got up, she sat beside Chu Xing and coaxed his daughter with him. Hearing this, he asked him in confusion: "Didn't you say it's cooler in the evening before coming back?" Is something wrong on the way at noon?
Chu Xing was also worried and gave his daughter to the wet nurse for care. The couple went to Sanqiutang together.
The Grandma and the Second Lady Chu had just learned that Chu Sui was going out for social engagements and were about to send someone to find Chu Sui back when they saw the couple in the big room coming. Seeing the eldest grandson wife who had been sitting for two months and finally gave up her to leave, her bright eyes and white teeth, the Grandma secretly clenched her hands and changed her smile.
"Grandmother, Second Aunt, why are you back early?" After bowing, Chu Xing asked first, because he saw that the two elders looked not right, Chu Xing's face was heavy.
The grandmother didn't want Changsun to know about Dong Yue'er for the time being, so she said helplessly: "Something happened in the temple, so we came back early. I didn't expect the road to be so hot... Oh, let's go back first, grandma will lie down and cool down, and A Nuan, you just got out of confinement and the weather is so hot at noon, so it's better to go out less."
Lovely eyebrows.
Lu Mingyu smiled and thanked her, took the initiative to step forward, took the grandma's arm from the maid, and said filially: "Grandma is so tired and feels sorry for me. A Nuan helps you to rest."
The lady praised her for a few more words.
Chu Xing stood in the hall and looked at his wife's gentle side face. He smiled unconsciously. After Lu Mingyu served the elders, the couple walked out side by side. Leaving Sanqiu Hall, Caisang trotted to the master and took the initiative to deliver the green umbrella in his hand.
Chu Xing took the umbrella and opened it to block the dazzling sunlight for his wife, so he walked towards Dingfengtang without any haste.
In the bedroom of the Grandmad, Mrs. Chu Er sat in front of the cold couch and gently slapped the mother-in-law, and advised apologetically: "Mother, it's all because Shi Qian is ignorant. You are tired of you. He has to wait a while when he comes back outside. Mother should use something first, don't be hungry."
The lady closed her eyes and said tiredly: "You go and eat, I have no appetite."
Mrs. Chu Er couldn't eat it anymore, and her mind was full of Brother Run'er's figure. She looked at her mother-in-law's clothes and fanned absent-mindedly. As she fanned, she suddenly heard her mother-in-law's meaningful voice, "Do you think that Dong looks like Shi Jin's wife?"
Mrs. Chu Er raised her head blankly and looked at her mother-in-law's turbid eyes. She couldn't help but think of Dong Yue'er and nodded, "It's a bit like..."
Halfway through speaking, without reminding her mother-in-law, Mrs. Chu's second wife's face suddenly changed and she was shocked to continue fanning. Dong Yue'er was several years older than Lu Mingyu. When her son was mingling with her, Lu Mingyu was still a child. At that time, her son could not like Lu Mingyu... But if her son could fall in love with Dong Yue'er, it was her turn to look and have her life experience far better than Dong Yue'er, would her son have been moved?
"You must not let her in." The lady sat up at some point and stared at her daughter-in-law with heavy eyes.
Mrs. Chu Er understood the meaning of her mother-in-law in an instant. If Dong Yue'er came in and was seen by outsiders, she would definitely have gossip about her son and niece-in-law. If her uncle and sister-in-law really talked about her, both the Duke's Mansion were not good-looking. That was a reputation. What if the nephew had suspicion from now on...
In the hot summer, Mrs. Chu'er broke out in cold sweat.
She looked at her mother-in-law in vain.
The madam's sharp eyes had returned to calm. A few thoughts flew around, and the corners of her mouth gradually curled up, and she lay down again, feeling relaxed. She was frowning on the way back home because there was a Dong Yueer who didn't consider Dong Yueer now, but things were much simpler.
"Mother, do you have a solution?" Mrs. Chu Er's eyes lit up and she leaned over to her mother-in-law and asked.
