Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

Seeing Chen being so stubborn, Chen Afu was extremely helpless. He said, "Knowing that my mother-in-law is in danger, how could we not send someone to protect her? If my mother-in-law is really good, how can I face the uncle! That's all, that's all, I won't go back to the capital. I'll just live with my mother-in-law. , I will go wherever my mother-in-law goes. If we want to live, we will live together, and if we want to die, we will die together."

Liao Chen shook his head and said, "How can this happen? You are still young and you cannot take risks for the sake of your children."

Chen Afu said, "Since my mother-in-law also knows that it is dangerous to live here, why does she still live here? Filial piety comes first, and the daughter-in-law cannot abandon her mother-in-law."

Liao Chen closed his eyes, held the rosary beads with both hands and turned them, and said, "Amitabha, my wife, you keep talking about filial piety, so you must listen to the poor nun. Tomorrow, you can take Yan'er back to Beijing, and let her Qi'er and the Song family are going back to Dingzhou Mansion."

Seeing her like this, Chen Afu remembered what Chu Lingxuan had said in the past. When Liao Chen was young, he once locked Lord Chu out of the door for a night and refused to listen no matter how Lord Chu explained. This temperament is indeed too stubborn and irritating.

Chen Afu is not an ancient person, and he does not have the consciousness not to talk back to his elders. She said, "Mother-in-law, what you mean is that the lives of Yan'er and I, as well as the lives of my second uncle and his wife, are precious. As long as we leave here and save our lives, it will be fine." She pointed outside and said, " As for Uncle Luo who serves you, the few young masters around you, and the guards who protect your mother-in-law, their lives are not precious, so they can accompany your mother-in-law to lose their lives at any time? Mother-in-law, before the Buddha, all living beings are equal. Not only outside The lives of those who protect and serve the mother-in-law are precious, and the life of the mother-in-law is even more precious. If the mother-in-law believes in Buddhism, no matter whose life it is, she should cherish it. Moreover, as a monk, you should not pay attention to those things that secular people value, such as dignity and face. See it in your eyes. And those things are nothing in front of life... The Buddha also said that saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda."

These words were rebellious and unpleasant, leaving Chen speechless.

Liao Chen opened his eyes in surprise, his hands trembling with anger, and said, "You, you, poor nun, poor nun, how can you talk to a poor nun like this. Okay, okay, you go back with everyone outside." …”

Seeing those words that touched his soul, Chen Afu was so angry that he calmed down and said, "Mother-in-law, your life is more precious. How can we leave you alone? Maybe I can come back from the war next year. . If something happened to my mother-in-law, I would be so sad. From the day her mother-in-law entered Buddhism, he vowed to make great contributions and hoped to take her home for reunion one day. There are also my sister-in-law, children, and Luo Grandma and uncle at home, they are thinking of you every day...especially the father-in-law, all his forbearance and planning are not only to help the prince to ascend to the throne, but also hope that one day the whole family can be reunited...Mother-in-law, my daughter-in-law's words are not nice. , but the words are ugly and reasonable. Think about last year's New Year's Eve, in order to protect the mother-in-law, the uncle and Uncle Luo were injured, three more guards died, and Yan'er was frightened. The mother-in-law is willing to have such a scene happen again. Is that so? Mother-in-law Bodhisattva is definitely not willing... You must not be fooled by Ma Shufei and Rong Zhao. They are deliberately irritating you, making you angry, and trying to force you out of Dingzhou Mansion. That way, even if there is no one nearby The remnants of the second prince, they may have people pretend to be those remnants to harm you. They are so bad, why should they fulfill their wishes..."

Liao Chen was not stupid, she also knew that those words were made by Ma Shufei on purpose to make her angry. But she was arrogant by nature, and she was so angry after being called so unbearable and dirty that she ran out on her own. Chu Lingqi, Mrs. Song, and Manager Luo didn't dare to say anything more. If their persuasion failed, they had no choice but to live with her.

Now that her daughter-in-law pointed it out to the point, and thinking about so many people protecting her in the yard, as well as her daughter and grandson in the capital, her mother and brother in Shizhou Prefecture, and her son fighting in the south, she burst into tears... …

Chen Afu helped Chen Chen sit down again and talked for a long time. She did not dare to say those rebellious words anymore, but told how Chu Lingxuan and Chu Hua missed her, and how cute the little brothers and Xiao Yu'er were... Seeing that it was late, she personally served Chen Chen to bed before coming out.

Although Liao Chen did not agree verbally, Chen Afu knew that she had already acquiesced in her heart.

As soon as he went out, a cold wind blew in his face, making Chen Afu shiver. She tightened her cloak tightly and walked out of the west courtyard.

The trees in the yard stand silently, with no leaves and empty branches. Through the sparse treetops, I saw a yellowish crescent moon hanging quietly on the horizon, and there were also sparse cold stars, which spread the cold light to the earth, making me feel even colder.

Chen Afu breathed a long sigh of relief and looked at Huajin Mountain again. The continuous mountains were as black as iron, mysterious, solemn, and cold... Suddenly, her heart beat wildly, and she was so scared that she hurriedly covered her chest.

What does it feel like? This feeling is really bad!

At this time, the voice of the golden swallow came to her mind, and it chirped, "Mommy, it seems there is something going on outside. I heard that several bird brothers in the east were frightened, and they all chirped loudly. Big How could this happen in the middle of the night? It’s so scary!”

Huajin Mountain is just east of Zhuangzi.

Chen Afu was surprised. Did someone go down the mountain and wake up the birds in the tree?

It is better to believe that it exists than to believe that it does not exist!

She quickly told Hong Fei, "I always feel panicked, as if something is going to happen. Go to the outer courtyard and tell Manager Luo and Captain Li to get them up quickly and get ready." Then she said to Xiao Hong, "Go Wake up the second master in the east chamber and tell him that something seems to be going on."

Then, she fell back to the West Cross Courtyard, gently knocked on the dusty window, and said softly, "Mother-in-law, get dressed quickly. My daughter-in-law is panicking. She is always afraid that something will happen tonight... You must take care of yourself."

Take care means to hide well.

A voice came from the room, "Okay, I understand."

Since the last incident, three darkrooms have been built in the village. Including the bedroom in the west courtyard, the bedroom in the upper room in the main courtyard, and the bedroom in the back room.

When Chen Afu left the west wing, Chu Lingqi had already run out of the east wing, still wearing his clothes. He ran up to Chen Afu and said, "Sister-in-law, what's going on?"

Chen Afu said, "I'm afraid something is going to happen tonight. Get the guards and sergeants ready. If nothing happens, it would be better. I will take my mother-in-law back to Dingzhou Mansion tomorrow."

Chu Lingqi nodded. He had always felt that Chen Afu was smart. Although she only relied on intuition to prepare everyone, there was nothing wrong with her. The eldest uncle promised to return to Dingzhou tomorrow. This was the last night, and her safety must be guaranteed this night.

At this time, Mrs. Song and several girls ran out, and some were frightened and cried.

Mrs. Song asked, "What happened?"
