Chapter 511 - 502: Granted Marriage
Xue Baoyi was angered when Chen Afu pushed her onto Yang Sanye, she shouted, "Chen Afu, you lowly...." But upon seeing the somber expression on Chen Afu’s face, she took another step forward and swallowed the rest of her words in fright.
Now, her own mother has lost the emperor’s affection. In the eyes of the empress dowager and the empress, she and her mother were less than this country woman. She had to admit that she and her mother had lost their social standing...
Chen Afu ignored the dark-faced Xue Baoyi and stepped into the sedan chair, leaving in a huff. Behind her, she could hear the sounds of Xue Baoyi’s wails and curses, and Yang Sanye’s attempts to soothe her.
Marquis Chu had stayed at Baoguo Temple for three days before descending the mountain alone, disregarding Rong Zhao’s pleading looks. He did not return to the Princess Mansion, but went directly to Yong’an Marquis Manor.
Now, he had nothing to do in public and he dared not do anything in private, so he passed the time by playing with his grandchildren, which brought him great joy.
Now, not only did the two small brothers clamor for their grandfather every day, but even Yu’er would point to the door and repeatedly whimper "ah" as soon as she woke up, showing that she wanted to play with her grandfather too.
On the tenth day of the eighth lunar month, Shiyi and Xiao Lixuan came to the Chus’ residence to play together. This was the first time Shiyi had visited the Chus’ since he had requested the emperor and the empress to marry Chu Hanyan, and he was still somewhat embarrassed in front of Chen Afu and Chu Hanyan.
He had already received Chen Afu’s hint when he let Qiu Yue go with him, and before that matter was settled, he must never let the word out, nor could he tell Yan’er.
