Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

Chen Afu had already gone to bed, but upon hearing that Chu Lingxuan had returned, he quickly got up.

Seeing the exhausted state Chu Lingxuan was in, his eyes dark and evasive, Chen Afu felt great pity. He had caused him this fatigue for the sake of his own father, and surely he had suffered from some form of unfair treatment. He said, "Lingxuan, I apologize for making things difficult for you. It was expected that my uncle would not agree, let’s ask others."

Chu Lingxuan shook his head and said, "Your uncle did agree. He said if your father-in-law can promote high-yielding crops, it would be not only your father’s merit but also his. He has no solution for Jiangnan’s issues, but your father’s achievements in Dingzhou over these two years cannot be obliterated, and he will do everything he can to exonerate your father."

This was indeed happy news.

Chen Afu knew that despite Chu Lingxuan’s lack of mention, he had probably faced his fair share of difficulties and berating.

During Chu Lingxuan’s visit to Shizhou Mansion, he indeed received a lot of difficulty from the Luos.

He arrived at the Luos in the late afternoon of the second day. The servants led him to the guest room and left him there. He wanted to go inside and visit Granny Luo, but without Mrs. Luo’s orders, he could not enter through the second gate. By the evening, Inspector Luo still hadn’t met with him.

Luckily, his relationship with Mr. Luo had always been good since their childhood, and Granny Luo had a good impression of Chen Afu. Mr. Luo "secretly" went to see him and led him to the back house to visit Granny Luo.

Granny Luo had not been well for a long time, and her health worsened after her daughter and son-in-law got into trouble. She was so upset that she was half-paralyzed and bedridden.
