Chapter 474 - 465: Unwilling to Go Home
Returning to the Capital City with Mrs. Chu were also the New Year’s gifts delivered to the Marquis’ Mansion, the Royal Rui Mansion, and Huguoxie’s Mansion. The gifts from these three households had also come to Dingzhou with Mrs. Chu.
With the departure of one elder and two little ones, not only were Chu Hanyan and Chen Dabao unused to it, even Chen Afu was unaccustomed.
Moreover, Marquis Chu had subtly hinted that he might not be coming back to Dingzhou after the Lunar New Year. If he didn’t come, Chu Lingzhi certainly wouldn’t either. Li Xuan was no longer so afraid of interaction, and had become much smarter, so he might not return either.
In addition to feeling lost, Chen Afu conjectured that the situation in the Capital City had become even more complex. The position of the Ninth Prince and the Chus should have become stronger, and they no longer needed to worry about Rong Zhao scheming to make them come to the Princess Mansion for manipulation. So, wouldn’t the ambitious reincarnated Second Prince be even more worried?
Yes, for the past few months, Chu Lingxuan often went out, and seldom stayed at home. This time it was even more so, he had been out for a month and a half...
Their departure made life even more calm.
During the day, Chen Afu would watch the children play, listening to Mrs. Song talking to her about household chores. At night, she would take Yu’er and the little bed into her space to watch Jin Yanzi play with her. Jin Bei also liked this little lady, its crimson hair becoming even redder whenever she entered the space.
Chen Afu would take Yu’er out of the space in the middle of the night to feed her, then Mrs. Li would clean up after her and wash her buttocks. After sending the servants away, she would put Yu’er back into the space, and sleep alone in her bedroom, taking Yu’er out before dawn.
