Chu Yunning took Beibei back to Chu's house immediately.
She has not been back for a long time. Father Chu and Mother Chu treated her very well.
"Ning'er is back."
When Mrs. Chu heard that her daughter was back with her grandson, she excitedly asked her maid to dress her up: "Put more makeup on your face. It will look better. Don't worry Ning'er."
When mother and son met in the hall, Mrs. Chu's eyes turned red and she shouted: "Ning'er!"
Perhaps due to the influence of the original owner, the ends of Chu Yunning's eyes were also red. In his memory, Mrs. Chu was bright and charming, with a charming appearance and a graceful figure. In just a few years, Mrs. Chu had lost a lot of weight, her complexion was yellow, and her eyes were dull.
It has lost its charm of the past.
She stepped forward and hugged Mrs. Chu. When her fingertips brushed across Mrs. Chu's wrist, she frowned. Mrs. Chu's body was very weak. The depression accumulated over the years had not dissipated. In addition, she had suffered a lot of anger in recent days.
My body is getting worse and worse, and I am taking medicine every day to support it. I have long been exhausted and can no longer take supplements.
"Beibei, call me grandma... call me grandma."
Just do as the locals do.
"Grandma." Beibei raised his head and called sweetly.
Mrs. Chu bent down and looked at Beibei up and down: "He is so handsome. Beibei is a good boy. Grandma likes Beibei very much."
Beibei could tell who was nice to him and grinned: "Beibei also likes grandma."
"The sun has come out in the west today. Princess Xiao has returned to her parents' home with her son. What a rare visitor!"
A sharp voice came from behind, a bit mean.
The owner of the voice also has a mean face, a high jaw, curved eyebrows, and hairpins surrounding his temples. He looks very rich.
Mrs. Lin, Mrs. Chu's second wife, looked at the mother and son with disdain: "I just want to come back, why do I still..."
"What did Second Aunt want to say?" Chu Yunning's eyes suddenly flashed coldly, staring at Mrs. Lin, who was so frightened that she swallowed the second half of her sentence.
The reason why Chu Yunning has not returned to the Chu family in these years is because the second wife, Chu Yun, the eldest daughter of the second wife, married the King of Han as his concubine, and the family has two princesses. In addition, Chu Yunning's father has made many achievements in the military expeditions all year round.
In order to avoid suspicion due to their military exploits, the two princesses rarely returned to their parents' homes, and usually only exchanged letters.
"If you don't want people to know unless you do nothing, what shameful things have you done yourself, and do you still need me to remind you?"
Mrs. Lin's face was full of disdain, she looked at Beibei with disdain and clicked her tongue.
Beibei hid behind Chu Yunning, pouting.
"Second Aunt has such leisure time, why not write a letter to care about Princess Han. I heard that Princess Han beat to death one of King Han's concubines out of jealousy and has been locked up in the yard for several months."
Chu Yunning originally planned to come back to see Mrs. Chu, but now she can't leave.
"You!" Mrs. Lin frowned and glared at Chu Yunning: "That's better than being kicked out of Prince Xiao's palace and becoming an abandoned wife!"
"At least I still have my life. King Han is a cruel character..."
King Han often beat Princess Han until her nose was bruised and her face was swollen, and even the doctor was not allowed to see her. Mrs. Lin was so anxious that her mouth bubbled several times.
"You!" Seeing that she couldn't speak to Chu Yunning, Mrs. Lin angrily walked away.
After losing her popularity, Mrs. Chu let out a long sigh and pulled Chu Yunning to persuade her: "You are now a mother, and it's time to restrain your temper."
"Mom, if you are kind and bullied, you may not be able to gain peace by being patient. Don't worry, Mom, I have my own sense of proportion."
Chu Yunning took Mrs. Chu to sit down and started asking questions and chatting about home affairs.
"Don't hide it from mother, what's going on between you and Prince Xiao?"
The beloved daughter, Mo Ruomu, Chu Yun Ning desperately wanted to marry Prince Xiao back then, even risking death to force her to do so.
In just a few years, things have changed, and her daughter has been imprisoned for five years. Mrs. Chu has been worried for five years, and her body slowly collapsed.
"Mother, daughter..." Chu Yunning thought for a long time and finally said it truthfully: "My daughter wants to make peace with Prince Xiao."
Mrs. Chu was so surprised that she coughed twice and looked at Chu Yunning in shock: "What did you say?"
"My daughter has not had a good life in the past few years. Now I have figured it out. It is hard to raise a child alone, but I am no longer restricted."
Chu Yunning softened her voice, fearing to scare Mrs. Chu.
After her patient explanation, Mrs. Chu slowly understood and turned to look at Beibei: "
This child looks exactly like the prince. He is smart and sensible, and is much more obedient than you were when you were a child."
Having a mother who could understand her made Chu Yunning feel warmer and pretended to be angry: "Mom, my daughter is still here."
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about you anymore, Beibei, can grandma make candied date cake for you?"
Mrs. Chu held Bei Bei's hand and couldn't put it down.
Beibei followed obediently and said "Hello" softly.
She resettled in the yard where she had been before she was married, and it was kept very clean. The maid said that Madam often came to sit there.
Mrs. Chu only has one child, Chu Yunning. When Chu Yunning got married, Mrs. Chu paid almost all the dowry.
Shili Hongzhuang made others envious, and many people laughed at Mrs. Chu for being stupid.
During dinner, Mrs. Chu's face was glowing and her complexion was much better than before. She made a large table of dishes and wanted to give Beibei all the dishes.
Looking at Beibei who had piled up into a hill in the bowl, he raised a bitter smile on his lips: "Grandma, that's enough, that's enough. Beibei can't finish it."
"Beibei is still growing and needs to eat more. Just tell grandma what you like to eat."
As the saying goes, Mrs. Chu felt pain for Beibei almost to the core of her bones.
"Mom has also figured it out. The Chu family is your last resort. You can live in the Chu family with peace of mind and have mother to support you!"
Mrs. Chu thought a lot. She was just a daughter, and no one was allowed to stop her daughter from coming back.
Chu Yunning smiled slightly.
After dinner was removed, Beibei lay down on the couch and breathed shallowly.
Mother and daughter were sitting face to face, chatting, when Chu Yunning suddenly said: "Mom's health is getting worse and worse. Is there anything on your mind?"
Mrs. Chu shook her head.
"Is it grandma?"
Old Mrs. Chu was not a light-hearted person. According to the memory of the original owner, Old Mrs. Chu never gave her a serious look and disliked her for being a girl.
She was also upset that Mrs. Chu had no children, so Mrs. Chu tormented Mrs. Chu a lot.
"I've gotten used to it over the years, so I don't mind mentioning it."
Mrs. Chu brushed it off in an understatement.
"Mom, I learned a lot of craftsmanship in the palace. Starting from tomorrow, I will be responsible for cooking three meals a day for you."
She would take the opportunity to add some medicine to the rice to slowly nurse Mrs. Chu's body back to health.
"good."
The next day it was dark, so Chu Yunning got up and made breakfast.
I added a few herbs to Mrs. Chu's porridge alone.
"Why didn't the eldest lady say hello when she came back, and didn't go to see the old lady?"
There was an uninvited guest outside the door, Zhan’s mother.
Mrs. Chu's dowry showed up with a sad face early in the morning, ruining her good mood for the day.
"I came back too late yesterday and didn't dare to disturb my grandmother's rest."
"Miss, this is not a reason. If you were really filial, you should have kowtowed in the old lady's yard yesterday. Besides, the eldest lady is already married. Why did you come back with a child for no reason without telling her in advance?"
Zhan's mother stretched her neck and looked at the layout of the yard. She saw that she was not going to stay for a day or two, so she was surprised and said: "Is the eldest lady planning to live with the Chu family? This is not possible. A married girl comes back."
Just take a look, what is it like living in your parents’ home?”
Chu Yunning was patient and forced a smile: "Mother Zhan, I will explain it to my grandmother later, so I won't bother you to worry about it."
"Miss, I am also thinking about the reputation of the Chu family. After so many years, you have not come back, and you have been imprisoned for another five years. The whole Chu family has been talked about behind their backs..."
Listening to Zhan's mother chattering incessantly, Chu Yunning was minding her own business in making porridge as if she hadn't heard anything. She knew that this was what Mrs. Chu meant as well.
Mrs. Chu has always looked down upon herself, and she definitely doesn't want him to come back and cause trouble.
"Miss?" Zhan's mother found that her mouth was dry and she had been talking for a long time. There was no movement from the other side, so she immediately raised her voice: "Miss, have you ever thought about Madam's situation?"
Chu Yunning raised her eyelids slightly and looked at Zhan's mother.
"Madam, you serve the old lady every day, so how can you have time to take care of you mother and son? In my opinion, the eldest lady should pack up and go back to Prince Xiao's Mansion as soon as possible."
Mother Zhan seemed to have thought of something else: "If the eldest lady really has nowhere to go,
Isn’t there Zhuangzi in the dowry given by Madam? It’s enough for the two of you.”
"Bah!" Chu Yunning finally couldn't listen any more and put the cattail leaf fan in her hand on the table.
"Mother Zhan, why don't I need you to worry about me? According to mother Zhan's wishes, I will go see my grandmother right away."
Chu Yunning stood up, but Zhan's mother immediately stopped her: "The old lady is not in good health, and she doesn't want to see anything that makes her angry. If the eldest lady is sensible, she should move out as soon as possible. This is the greatest filial piety to the old lady."
