Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

Chen Afu remembered that in her previous life there was a custom that pregnant women should not attend other people’s weddings, but it seemed that this custom no longer existed here. She asked, "What about Dabao?"

Chu Lingxuan said, "Dabao is fine. Many people will think of Dabao as a burden. Perhaps we’ll be too embarrassed to let him come out openly to meet people. We’ll just go with the flow, and aside from a few families that it would be very appropriate for Dabao to become friends with their children, we won’t let Dabao meet anyone else."

Chen Afu stayed quiet. She didn’t like dealing with women of the inner courtyard, but for Chu Lingxuan, she would have to engage in some wife diplomacy in the future.

But thinking about his comment that Dabao is a burden, she felt uncomfortable. If Dabao was not a prince, would he dislike her for having a burden?

She turned away unhappily.

After Chu Lingxuan finished speaking, he knew he had offended Chen Afu. He quickly explained, "Look at you, getting mad. I didn’t mean anything by it. Dabao is a prince, and I only found that out after I decided to marry you. Didn’t I also brought a burden? We’re even."

This made Chen Afu laugh, and she turned back and said, "If Dabao was not a prince, would you and your family still treat him so kindly as a burden? Would he be hidden away from everyone?"
