farmer's husband

Chapter 494
"Is it just handkerchiefs?" Chun Zhi asked softly.

Looking at the situation in front of me, it doesn't look like it.

Concubine De raised her eyes to look at her again, and the corners of her lips twitched immediately: "You still have some eyesight."

Chun Zhi's heart skipped a beat!
"You don't think my dad really left nothing for my little brother?" She asked softly.

Harue felt another inexplicable thrill in his heart.

She means to say...

But before she could ask any more questions, Concubine De just waved her hand casually. "That's it for today! You should go. You can tell them the rest."

"Yes." Mrs. Lin quickly nodded respectfully, then stood up and bowed and retreated.

The palace maid also came over and bowed to Chun Zhi: "Madam Chai Yushi, please!"

"Oh, good." Chun Zhi nodded quickly, she looked at Concubine De again, only to see Concubine De had already turned her head to tease the two little princesses.

After walking out of Jingyang Palace, Mrs. Lin smiled at Chun Zhi again: "Mrs. Chai, you don't have to think too much. When we go out this time, we will tell you everything we need to tell you."

One of your titles made Chun Zhi's heart sink again.

She had a bad feeling.

The two got into the car together and went home. The next day, Mrs. Lin and his wife posted a post for Chun Zhi and his wife, inviting them to visit.

What happened in the palace that day, Chun Zhi told Chai Dong exactly after returning.After hearing this, Chai Dong frowned for a long time before raising his head to look at Chun Zhi. "Actually, I already guessed it."

Chun Zhi frowned. "Guess what?"

"It's about my father." Chai Dong said in a low voice, "He was too happy. Although it was the seventh prince who was overthrown by the fifth prince, he had no backing, so he could only be at the mercy of the fifth prince. But he After so many years in the court, he climbed to the position of a third-rank official at the age of less than 40. How could he have no cronies? He went to death without any resistance. If you are older, this is righteousness, but if you are younger... ..."

"What do you say when you're younger?" Chun Zhi asked softly.

"Speaking of it at a young age, he seems to be in a hurry to solve the matter, so that he can spare time to fully protect the person he wants to protect." Chai Dong said.

Chunzhi's heartbeat quickened a few beats.

"The person he wants to protect is you?"

"It's me, but it's not just me." Chai Dong said quietly.

Chunzhi quietly clenched his fists. "If you put it that way, my mother desperately took you away from the capital and brought you back to Wang's Village..."

"My parents should have discussed this a long time ago." Chai Dong smiled lightly immediately, "It's a pity that mother didn't know, and foolishly thought it was her voluntary absolution."

Chunzhi immediately gasped.

She just said it!

After knowing Chai Dong's identity before, she felt that things were weird.Since the father-in-law Chai Yibo is so shrewd and capable, the eldest sister De concubine and the Liang Wang born to the concubine De are also very shrewd people, so the mother-in-law who can give birth to the eldest sister with the father-in-law will be worse Where did you go?
But Wang's evaluation of Chu's is only a few words - gentle, peaceful, kind.

How could it be possible for a woman who can go hand in hand with Chai Yibo to only have such ordinary qualities?Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to raise such a concubine De!
But now, she finally understood - her mother-in-law, whom she had never met, was also a powerful person.At least the Wang Shi in front of her has been locked up by her all her life.Not only did she willingly raise her son for them, but she still felt full of guilt, always feeling that it was her own fault for their fate.

However, as long as you think about it, you can find out—a little Wang, even if she can get a lot of useful things from Chai Dongniang, how could they have not noticed that she spread the news through people?And Chai Yibo had made so many enemies in the court back then, would his family not even have this little bit of defense?To be honest, Harue didn't believe it at all.

In other words, this matter is just a trick they set up for Wang Shi, and then Wang Shi really got in foolishly!

Hey, poor Mrs. Wang.

Having figured this out, Harue suddenly feels pity for her again.She began to regret choking her that day.

She is actually quite pitiful. When she was young, her family was ruined because of Chai Yibo's relationship, and she was abandoned by her fiancé.After entering Chai's family, he didn't live a stable life for a few years, and wandered around with Chai Dong in his arms, and finally settled in Wangjia Village. After all, he settled down safely, but he couldn't even eat enough.

It can be said that she has been around the Chai family all her life, and she has dedicated her whole life to the Chai family.Moreover, she was obviously a victim, yet she still regarded herself as the perpetrator, and she always held the mentality of guilt and atonement in her heart.

"Hey!" Chun Zhi couldn't help sighing, "It's better not to tell mother about this! I'm afraid she won't be able to handle it."

Chai Dong nodded. "You don't need to tell. The Chai family owes her, and I will spend the rest of my life to make it up to her. As I said, she raised me and sent me to study. She is my own mother. I will treat her like that. Take care of her with the etiquette of a mother."

And indeed he has always done so.

Chunzhi also nodded. "In the future, I won't choke with her on purpose again. If she wants to scold me, she can scold me. At worst, I'll just ignore it after listening to it."

"That won't work. My parents owe her, and you don't owe her. What's more, I owe you a lot of things!" Chai Dong immediately shook his head.

Chunzhi hooked the corner of his mouth. "Then, shall we still treat mother the same as before?"

"Of course it's the same as before." Chai Dong nodded firmly, "There is no need to mention the past. As for the present, since we live well according to this rhythm, of course we will continue to do so."

"Then, this invitation card..." Chun Zhi waved the invitation card from the Lin family to him again.

"Of course I want to." Chai Dong nodded, "Just right, I also want to see what my father has left for me."

Haruhi shivered inexplicably again.She suddenly became depressed.

Chai Dong noticed it, and pressed his body on her shoulder. "What’s wrong with you?"

"It's nothing, I just think it's incredible." Chun Zhi forced a smile at him, "You know, my husband? The days we're living now are simply something I never dreamed of in the past 20 years. Many times I I feel like I am dreaming. I always feel that one day when I open my eyes, I will find that we are still lying in that dilapidated house in Wangjia Village. There is still only ten acres of land at home. You are still studying, and my mother and I are still living together. I’m working hard at embroidery to earn money to buy you paper and pens.”

As she spoke, her tone dropped slightly, and she muttered in a low voice that only she could hear: "And I don't think there is anything bad about such a day."

At least the whole family lives together and lives together. Although the life is a bit rough, they are happy and harmonious, and every step is steadfast.

"You are afraid." The palm on her shoulder suddenly tightened slightly, and Chai Dong's deep voice came into his ears.

Chun Zhi was startled, and she quickly raised her head. "Am I afraid? What am I afraid of?"

"Of course I'm afraid of these things in front of me." Chai Dong said softly, "Yes, the situation in the capital is treacherous, and the people's hearts are even more unpredictable. It's like we are stepping on the void. If we are not careful, if we step on the void, Then everything we worked hard before will be ruined. It is reasonable for you to be worried. And, don’t say you are afraid, in fact, I am also afraid.”

"Are you afraid too?" It was the first time she heard him say such words.There was a hint of surprise in Chunzhi's eyes.

Chai Dong smiled wryly.

"How could it be possible not to be afraid? My father's precedent is the first. We have experienced so many things in the villages, towns, counties, and provincial capitals below. What we have encountered in the capital in the past three years is even more serious. It is more than the sum of the previous years. Now others see how glamorous we are, but only we know that we have been walking on the edge of the cliff, and we are very likely to slip and fall if we are not careful. .”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh. "Don't say that you miss the down-to-earth days in the village before, and I do the same. It's just that we can't go back now. Not to mention..."

He paused again and looked at Chunzhi. "We have seen the colorful world outside, and we are more courageous than before. Do you think we can go back to farm in peace now?"

"No." Chun Zhi shook his head.

It is true that nostalgia is one thing, but looking back is another.At least for now, she doesn't want to look back.She would rather continue to go on such a hard journey, and she no longer wants to go back to live such a poor but practical life.

"That's it." Chai Dong said, and with a sudden force on his hand, he pulled her into his arms again.

"Therefore, some things are only suitable for remembrance. When the remembrance is over, we have to return to reality and live the life in front of us as we like. Even if we are afraid, we have to keep going. There is no other choice!"

"Well, I see." Chun Zhi nodded, she took the initiative to hold Chai Dong's hand, "I will walk down with you."

Chai Dong immediately froze.He took a deep breath, then lowered his head to look at Chun Zhi, a deep meaning slowly condensed in his eyes.
