Yu Atu still wanted to explain, but Shi Chunquin interrupted her with a wave of her hand, "Atu, uncle, he is both talented and handsome. I don't blame you for being attracted to him, but you should never, shouldn't think that
I was able to marry into the Chu family just because I was soft-hearted, and it was okay for outsiders to plot against me, but you are my cousin, how could you do this to me?"
By the end of her words, she already had a bit of a serious tone.
Yu Atu was so ashamed, "I'm sorry, cousin, I'm sorry, I just like you so much, I never thought of hurting you..."
Her voice became weaker and weaker, and even she didn't believe the last few words she said.
Shi Chunquin looked at her, let out a long sigh, and softened his tone, "Usagi, you should know that I don't have many relatives in this world. To support you is to support myself. If possible, I would like to be like you.
I wish, but how can you and I control a son like this uncle?"
These words made Chu Ling's attitude clear. Yu Atu stared at her blankly, feeling despair only at this moment.
Did it turn out that Chu Ling didn't want to accept her?
Although she had long expected that she had no chance of winning, when the reality was cruelly placed in front of her, her heart was still shattered.
The first love in childhood either flies into flames or ends in vain. Only a few can get together in the end, but they may not grow old together.
Shi Chunfen actually envied Yu Atu's courage. Although the final result was not satisfactory, she had no experience like this. From the first day she entered the Chu family, she was trained to be a qualified child bride.
She could not have her own will, and she had never loved anyone else so passionately.
In the end, Yu Atu honestly packed her luggage and got on the carriage back to Liuzhou. Chu Ling's attitude became the last straw that broke her. She would only be embarrassed if she stayed in Huating.
Although Hongxing and Lutao didn't know what happened, they guessed some clues. People in the same yard had no secrets, and they couldn't hide it even if they wanted to. Fortunately, neither of them was a gossip.
, seeing that Shichun Equinox was very secretive about this matter, he wisely did not mention it again.
After Yu Atu left, Shi Chunfen stayed in the room depressedly for several days. It wasn't until Kong Youlian sent a message inviting her and Chu Ling to a bonfire dinner that she stepped out of the county government's mansion again.
This dinner was held at the military camp of Huating Army, and it was intended that Chu Ling, the eldest son, should go to the military camp to communicate with the soldiers. However, Shi Chunfen, who had never set foot in a military camp, became very nervous even on the way.
"What is the military camp like? Will mother go there this time?"
Seeing her anxious look, Chu Ling was a little amused, "It's just a place where the soldiers are stationed, not a tiger's den or a dragon's pool. You don't have to be so nervous."
Shi Chunfen blinked her eyes. Naturally, she was not afraid of the soldiers. She was just afraid that she would embarrass Chu Ling. I heard that people who were born in military generals were always generous and generous. With her coquettish temperament, she was afraid that she would not be liked by the soldiers.
.
Chu Ling looked into her eyes and guessed what she was thinking, "You don't have to be afraid that you don't know how to please them. Anyway, you don't go to the military camp often, maybe not even once in ten years, so what do they think of you?"
!”
Shi Chunquin's eyes widened, "How do you know what I'm thinking?"
Chu Ling stretched out his fingers and stroked her eyebrows, "Because you have a pair of eyes that can speak."
Shi Chunfen's cheeks turned red. Being teased like this by him, her original nervousness eased a lot. She sighed and said worriedly: "But where is the mother?"
Chu Ling didn't directly answer her question just now, so she knew that the Huating County Lord was definitely going. Although she had promised Chu Ling before that she would not avoid the Huating County Lord anymore, she would still be a little nervous if she really had to meet him head-on.
Worry.
"You can rest assured about this." Chu Ling consoled him, "You will always be my wife, and my mother will not embarrass you too much in front of outsiders."
Shi Chunquin nodded slightly, and his anxious heart finally relaxed.
Chu Ling was right. The head of Huating County might not give her face, but he would definitely give face to the eldest mistress of the Chu family. For the first time, she felt that her identity was of some use.
The carriage quickly arrived at the military camp. There were 100,000 soldiers in Huating, and the military camps were naturally one after another. The military camp where the bonfire dinner was held this time was the Qingqi Camp, and it was also the military camp where Kong Youlian's father was located. They were not the only ones who received the message;
Wang Jixue, Jiang Ya and others whom I met last time at the County Lord's Mansion, and Chu Xiu also arrived at the scene early.
Because he was in the military camp, Chu Xiu wore a suit of armor today. The young man was heroic and tall, and his figure was as tall as a pine tree. It was quite different from his previous impression. When he saw them coming, Chu Xiu stepped forward and nodded to them politely.
, "Brother, sister-in-law."
Chu Ling nodded lightly, and Shi Chunquin also bowed in return.
Kong Youlian and others then gathered around them and said, "The eldest young master, the eldest young mistress."
Only Wang Jixue stood far away and did not dare to step forward, even pretending not to see them.
Shi Chunquin was a little confused. He didn't know where he had offended her. It was clear that they had a very happy conversation last time when they had a barbecue at Shanshui Pavilion.
Chu Ling knew it well, but it was impossible for him to say it. He simply said hello to everyone and then went with Chu Xiu to meet other generals in the military camp.
Shi Chunfen stayed alone and dealt with Kong Youlian and others, looking a little embarrassed. Fortunately, although these people were interested in Chu Ling, they did not dare to embarrass her like the three sisters from the Caobang. This is the benefit of high status.
Well, they are all the daughters of Huating County Lord's subordinates, which means they are indirectly one level lower than Chu Ling and Shi Chunfen. Even if they despise Shi Chunfen in their hearts, they dare not overstep in person, otherwise it will affect themselves later.
They had no good fruits from their father's official career.
Seeing that the Spring Equinox felt a little embarrassed, Jiang Ya took the initiative and said, "I wonder if Young Mistress has recovered from the cold?"
Shi Chunfen nodded quickly, "It's completely healed, thanks to your prescription."
Jiang Ya smiled faintly, not daring to take credit, "My young lady's body is already good. Even without my prescription, she should be able to recover quickly according to the medicine she drank before. It's just that I added two more tonics to my prescription."
, it can have the effect of strengthening the foundation and cultivating the vitality, which will be of great benefit to the young lady’s future pregnancy.”
Shi Chunfen's cheeks turned red. He didn't expect that she would say such a thing in public, and he didn't know how to answer the question.
On the other hand, Lu Tao behind her let out a sigh and said in confusion: "Since it has such an effect, why didn't Miss Jiang say anything at the time? If grandma ate something that conflicted with these two tonics, wouldn't it be counterproductive?
