Chapter 484 - 475: Turning Fast
The image of the little one kept appearing in Chen Afu’s eyes, making her bury her face in her hands and cry. As she cried, she saw Jin Yanzi, the golden swallow, crying too with a little open beak, complaining, "I don’t want to leave stinky Dabao, life without him is so boring..."
Outside the door, Mrs. Li’s voice rang out, "Madam, the water’s getting cold, don’t catch a chill."
Wiping her tears, Chen Afu calmed her emotions. Her life must go on...
She then contemplated it from another perspective, she should be happy for Dabao. Although he had suffered a great deal in the countryside, he had survived. Moreover, it had helped him develop many good qualities and habits.
Going back to the palace at this time, with his biological elder brother being crowned as the crown prince and his birth mother being named the Virtuous Consort, and with the Queen Wang preoccupied and the Second Prince away in the Southern Province, no one should dare to harm him. Once he is granted a title, he will live a life of extreme wealth without lifting a finger.
Having experienced hardships in the past, he would better understand the sufferings of the common people and cherish his current happiness. Hopefully, when he grows up, he can advise the crown prince to do more good deeds for the people.
As for his fate as her son, it would span just those few years. She would keep her motherly affection hidden in her heart and silently bless him.
If the Virtuous Consort is generous, she can visit Shiyi more often in the future. But if the Virtuous Consort is petty, it would be prudent to maintain some distance.
