Chapter 517 - 508
Upon seeing this side of He Linsheng, Chen Yuhui’s heart was swayed. She had always been too embarrassed to tell anyone that since marrying He Linsheng, he had only consummated their marriage on their first night together. Afterward, she watched him dally between beautiful concubines and servant girls. Enraged to her limits, she found every excuse to punish those women and this led to constant quarrels and even physical fights with He Linsheng.
Despite her frustration, she silently allowed him to sit down and serve some side dishes to accompany their drink. As he poured her wine, he gently pleaded with her, held her hand and begged for her forgiveness, stating he would treat her well for the rest of their lives. This unexpectedly moved her. She was surprised to see him express such tenderness, not falling short of Chu Lingxuan’s gentle demeanor.
When he carried her to bed, she was still conscious. Although she knew resistance would be futile, she had to admit that she didn’t even think about resisting that night...
Chen Yuhui caressed her stomach. For her child and her future, she had to swallow her anger. She believed that if she could save the He family and prevent her father-in-law from being demoted, not only would the He family owe her, but He Linsheng would also be good to her and to their child for the rest of their lives. Therefore, she had to ask Chen Afu for help.
Initially, she was avoiding asking Chen Afu for help because she considered her father’s growing reputation as a way out for herself. However, since she was now pregnant and could not give up on He Linsheng, she had to seek Chen Afu’s aid. She knew that only Chen Afu, and not her father, had the power to rescue the Hue family.
Seeing Chen Yuhui’s resolve, Mrs. He could not suppress her laughter. Ever since she learned about the rebellion of the Second Prince, she had been imploring Chen Yuhui to beg for Chen Afu’s help at the Chu household. However, Chen Yuhui was as stubborn as a mule, and wouldn’t heed her advice.
It was her own man who came up with the brilliant idea of putting a child in her belly. With a child, not only would Chen Yuhui be tied down tighter, she would willingly do many things...
After finishing their meal, it was time for the customary show. As it was getting cold, the stage was set up in the vast Furong Hall, where the guests gathered to watch the performance. Chen Afu, who never liked watching the shows but couldn’t leave, decided to retire to the ear room for some rest.
As soon as she entered the room, Chen Yuhui followed her in.
Suddenly, Chen Yuhui knelt in front of Chen Afu, shocking the latter greatly. Chen Afu hastily helped her up, saying, "Dear sister, you are pregnant. How could you behave so recklessly! Stand up and talk."
Chen Yuhui did not stand up. Instead, she grabbed Chen Afu’s hand, saying, "Sister, I beg you, save your sister. I was wrong in the past, and I angered you. But sister, we are blood sisters. Please, save my father-in-law..."
