Chapter 130: In the Funeral
When Chen Duanyi and his wife arrived at the Duke's Mansion, there were about ten carriages parked at the door. The middle door, which was usually closed, was wide open, and people could come in and out like water.
Chen Duanyi looked up at the white lanterns hanging high and saw the linen mourning clothes worn by the two concierges, and almost shed tears.
The concierge recognized Chen Duanyi and rushed over to welcome him, asking the servant to accompany him inside.
Chun Ge was so busy that he not only called the fourth lady to come over to help, but also the fifth lady came. Seeing Grandma Lian coming, followed by eager Chen Duanlang and Brother Bao, she was startled at first, but the fourth lady had already joined her.
He came over and whispered: "Third sister-in-law, go back and talk to Grandma Lian."
There was some hesitation on Chun Ge's face...
I really want to say a few words to Grandma Lian and ask about the Chen family's plans. Chen Chunfang is already dead. Although she may not have any resentment in her heart for the things she did to her. But everyone
Even after death, you still care about what to do with these things.
What's more, when I got married, I just wanted to find a place to live with, and my relationship with Li Jian'an was far from genuine.
With so many children in the Li family and such a complicated environment, my original plan to have a child to gain a foothold disappeared after looking at this situation. Even if she wanted to have a child, she would have to wait until she truly understood Li Jian'an's rebirth.
Therefore, I really don't care much about what Chen Chunfang does. I only have a motherly heart for Brother Wu.
During this funeral, although the Fourth Madam and the Fifth Madam kept looking at the expressions of the Tai Madam and Li Jianan to persuade themselves to be more frugal, they were unwilling to be called a mean name, let alone the Chen family.
But at this time, how can I get away?
The fourth lady saw what Chun Ge was thinking, and said deliberately and unexpectedly: "Third sister-in-law, do you think you can't trust me and my fifth brother and sister?"
Chun Ge paused for a moment, then immediately said: "Look at what you said." He whispered a few words to the Fourth Madam, "Then you help me with the hard work first, I will be back soon."
The fourth lady hurriedly reassured her.
After all, the fourth lady has helped manage the house for so many years, and there are also noble ladies here. The fourth lady is in the limelight, and she will definitely not play any tricks when making friends. Chunge winked at Grandma Lian with confidence.
, Grandma Lian understood and pulled Chen Duanlang and Brother Bao to follow Chunge to Ning'an Pavilion at the back of the hall.
Chen Duanlang looked at Chun Ge and wanted to get closer.
Chunge is also worried about Chen Duanlang, but today, the time is not right!
Chun Ge touched Chen Duanlang's face and saw that he had a rosy complexion, was wearing a willow-green gown, and his eyes were bright. He seemed to be a bit taller, and felt a little relieved, so he called Amber and Hongyu.
Four people took Chen Duanlang and Brother Bao out for snacks.
Brother Bao didn't understand anything, he just felt happy and clapped his hands and said he wanted to go out to play with Brother Wu.
Chunge and Grandma Lian's faces were filled with excitement.
This period of living under the shelter of others has made Chen Duanlang a lot wiser. I didn’t know it before because Chen Duanyi and Grandma Lian didn’t tell anyone. Now I see the whole room is filled with white, and I hear people saying
The Duke's wife already understood. She went over and touched Brother Bao's head, and coaxed him seriously: "Brother Bao, be good. My uncle will take you to have some snacks, and let Sister Thirteen and Sister-in-law talk to each other."
Brother Bao liked Chen Duanlang very much. He nodded in understanding and followed him out obediently.
Chen Duanlang bowed respectfully to Chun Ge and Grandma Lian before going out to look for Brother Bao.
Grandma Lian looked at Chen Duanlang's back, thoughtfully.
Chun Ge frowned slightly when he saw it.
When Grandma Lian came back to her senses, she wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said, "My eldest aunt is really blessed. When Brother Wu was just born, she was worried about whether he would grow up. Seeing that Brother Wu was about to be made the heir apparent,
But she suddenly couldn't bear it any longer." As she spoke, she started to cry.
When Chun Ge heard these words, the corner of her mouth curled up slightly.
Of course he knew about Brother Wu's invitation to establish the crown prince.
When Li Jian'an came back, he once told himself that the eldest prince born by the queen would get married soon. After the eldest son's wedding, he would naturally be crowned prince, and the royal family would show favor. Brother Wu would be crowned prince at this time.
There couldn't be a better time.
Maybe Chen Chunfang was afraid that something would happen at this critical moment, and her body really couldn't bear it any longer, so she set up a series of plots and tried to get everything in order.
But just after Chen Chunfang disappeared, Grandma Lian came to her and said something like this. Was it a warning or a test?
It seems that the Chen family may not be completely unaware of what Chen Chunfang did...
Chunge felt a little cold in her heart, but she still managed to say: "Now I just want to take care of my eldest sister's funeral. Brother Wu really doesn't have much to worry about, so I can only let my mother worry more.
"
Grandma Lian looked at Chun Ge in surprise, "You said Brother Wu is at Madam Tai's place."
A flash of light flashed across Chun Ge's eyes, but she said with guilt on her face: "I should be the one who has to worry about it, but I have to work hard for my mother. I'm really unfilial." She lowered her head and wiped her eyes.
Grandma Lian really didn’t know what to say this time.
Originally, I wanted to test the thirteenth aunt, and by the way, I also warned that Brother Wu is the one who wants to make the crown prince. Don't think that just because the eldest aunt has done something bad, you can attack Brother Wu.
Unexpectedly, others wanted to avoid suspicion more than me, so they sent Brother Wu away first, and made a show that no one paid attention to.
Grandma Lian pulled her lips dryly and sighed: "You have to take care of yourself, Brother Wu will be relying on you from now on."
Chunge looked slightly cold and said calmly: "What my sister-in-law said is true. Brother Wu is the eldest son of the Li family. Both the Madam and the Duke value him more than anything else. How can he be without support?"
Grandma Lian didn't expect that Chun Ge would choke directly, and she didn't know what to say for a while.
Seeing the uneasy look on Mrs. Lian's face, Chun Ge knew that the beating was enough, so she softened her tone and said, "Actually, I have something to discuss with my sister-in-law."
When Grandma Lian heard about the amnesty, she immediately sat up straight and said continuously: "If you have anything to do, just say it." I'm not afraid that something will happen to you, but I'm afraid that you won't want to rely on Chen's family room in the future.
Chun Ge sighed and said: "Speaking of which, when eldest sister goes like this, it's time to invite people to do the water and land dojo for seven days, and then invite people to come and recite scriptures for a few days. But you also know that the emperor's eldest son is getting married soon.
If it was a big deal, it would have to be delayed for half a month. I'm afraid it would offend the eldest son of the emperor.
The marriage was about to happen. According to the wishes of the Grand Duke and the Dowager, they only had three days of ashram and two days of reciting scriptures. I felt uncomfortable in my heart. Because of this, I even argued with our Grand Duke, but he scolded me.
I don’t understand the order of kings and ministers. So I’ve been waiting for you and my eldest brother to come over and give you some ideas.”
Chun Ge glanced at Grandma Lian's hesitant expression, and then continued: "I want to hold a big party, but I'm afraid that I'll really hit something..."
Chen Chunfang is dead, so what’s the use of making a fuss!
The eldest son of the emperor is going to be the prince and the emperor in the future. He is the nephew of the Duke of Guo. Naturally, the Duke of Guo will not want his marriage to be unhappy at all.
Besides, Chen Chunfang had to do those things herself.
According to the intentions of his father-in-law and the old man in the family, he must want to make things big. Even his husband is not willing to wrong a girl like Chen Chunfang. But he knows the difference clearly.
Grandma Lian weighed the left and right, then gritted her teeth and said: "The Duke of the country is right, the monarch and his ministers are in order. No matter how sad and reluctant we are in our family, it has not violated the royal principles. This funeral will be carried out according to the national principles."
The food is cooked according to the wishes of the father-in-law and the wife. Your eldest brother and I, as well as the entire Chen family, will not have a single complaint."
Chun Ge still hesitates...
When Grandma Lian saw Chun Ge like this, her teeth itched with hatred.
I originally wanted to set a trap for others, but I got into the rope first.
Now at this point, knowing that the other party is using me as a raft, I can only bite the bullet and admit it.
Thinking of this, Grandma Lian patted Chun Ge's hand and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, even if someone is gossiping outside, I will still tell you the difference."
As if she had taken a reassurance, Chunge showed an expression of gratitude and relief. She looked at Aunt Lian and said with tears in her eyes: "I knew you were the best to me, sister-in-law."
Even the eldest grandma could only respond twice and couldn't say a word.
Chun Ge didn't feel very happy when she saw Lian Grandma like this.
Li Jian'an and his wife were completely disappointed with Chen Chunfang. They violated their taboo by tampering with the Li family's heirs. In addition, they did have a marriage conflict with the eldest son of the emperor, so they decided on this idea.
I don't want to bear the reputation of being an uninformed person outside, and I don't want Brother Wu to feel resentful when he grows up in the future, so he has been unwilling to do so.
I didn’t want to let Grandma Lian act as a shield. Who would have thought that Grandma Lian actually wanted to imitate the methods of Madam Lian and Chen Chunfang and use Duan Lang to test and blackmail her, so I couldn’t help but take the opportunity to do something with her.
, which made her restrain herself.
But Chun Ge also feels tired...
The endless battle, every step, is so hard.
I had been wavering before, but seeing Li Jianan treating me like this, I still wanted to trust him wholeheartedly.
But now...
Chen Chunfang and Li Jian'an have been married for so many years. Once their love breaks off, Li Jian'an can do so cruelly. Who knows whether he will be another Chen Chunfang in the future.
