after being kidnapped by the general

Chu Hechao reacted quickly, and the next moment he got up and moved a chair to sit at the table, seemingly sipping tea seriously.

As soon as he sat down, the door was pushed open by Mrs. Chen.

With a basket in her arm, Mrs. Chen walked in anxiously, and was relieved to see Yuan Li.She was about to ask a question, when she saw Chu Hechao sitting at the table again, she was surprised for a moment, "The general is here too."

Chu Hechao nodded slightly, and said to her calmly, "Auntie."

Mrs. Chen smiled, walked quickly to the bed again, and gave Yuan Li a bad look, "I heard at home that you sprained your ankle, so I hurried over to have a look. Why is such a big man so careless?"

Before Yuan Li said anything, Chu Hechao frowned, and said lightly: "It's not that Le Jun was careless, but that a mud pit was dug there by the children. If it wasn't for Le Jun who walked ahead and found it for us In this mud pit, I'm afraid that other people will sprain their feet."

When he said this, Chen was too embarrassed to teach Yuanli, "The general is right."

Chu Hechao said again: "Auntie is Le Jun's mother, it would be too unfamiliar to call me a general, it would be better to call me farewell."

Chen hesitated for a moment, then looked at Yuanli.

Yuan Li smiled and nodded, "Mother, you are an elder, you should call him a word."

"Then I'll call it that," Chen said with a smile, "Ci Ye, thank you for taking care of Le Jun."

Yuan Li looked at Chu Hechao with a smile.

The man who was molesting him just now seems to be a different person now, his words and demeanor are full of humility and restraint, "Le Jun and I are as close as brothers, so I should take care of him."

Yuan Li felt that he might not know Chu Hechao.

Chen's smile deepened, and he was very happy to see the scene of Chu Hechao and Yuanli getting along well.She put the basket aside, sat on the side of the bed and said worriedly: "Where is the injury? Let mother take a look."

Yuan Li refused, "Mother, the injury is not serious, don't worry. Ciye checked it for me, and said it will recover in a few days."

Chen was even more worried, "How many more days will it take? Li'er, let mother take a look, she is worried."

Yuanli had no choice but to stretch out his foot to show her.

When Chen saw it, she was startled, "It's swollen and you can't say it's serious, Li'er, your foot is almost like a pig's trotter."

Chu He was overjoyed, and laughed silently behind Chen's back.

Yuan Li glanced at him, "Mother, don't worry, it just looks scary. The swelling will subside within a day or two at most."

Chen sighed, "My son, I know that you are getting busier and have more and more things to do, but after all, you must pay attention to your body. Mom doesn't want to see you get hurt, so you have to take good care of yourself."

Yuan Li nodded honestly, "Mother, I understand."

"Your father is also very worried about you. He originally wanted to come over, but he was too busy with government affairs, so he said he would come to see you in the evening." Mrs. Chen removed the deep cloth covering the basket, "I thought you were injured, Maybe I want to eat something made by my mother, so I made a few dishes and brought them to you."

"It's good that Dad is busy with his affairs, so I don't need to use it at night." Yuan Li looked into the basket, inhaled the fragrance again, and smiled with a stretched eyebrow, "Mother knows me best, and I'm just hungry. Mother Put these dishes on the table, and I will go to the table to eat."

After that, he instructed Lin Tian to get the bowls and chopsticks.

Chen put these things on the table according to her words, and then helped Yuan Li to the table and sat down.Chu Hechao was useless, logically he should have left, but he sat firmly and refused to leave.

Naturally, Mrs. Chen will not forget him, "Ci Ye, do you want to try my craft?"

Chu Hechao raised the corners of his mouth and said yes with a smile.

Chen couldn't help saying: "The general is really handsome when he smiles. Ciye, you haven't married yet, why don't you talk about your marriage with your aunt?"

The air was inexplicably still for a moment, and Yuan Li said indifferently: "Mother, let's eat."

Chen knew that she said something that shouldn't be said, she said with an unchanged smile: "Mother, go to the kitchen to see what else is there, you guys eat first, don't wait for me."

As soon as she left, Yuan Li made a bitter face and kicked Chu Hechao under the table, "What are you laughing at?"

Chu Hechao took the chopsticks and side dishes to his mouth, grabbed Yuanli's leg with his right hand, and said slowly, "You are venting your anger."

Yuan Li looked at him carefully for a while, "Why does everyone want to marry you?"

"Didn't you hear that?" Chu Hechao raised his eyebrows and looked at Yuanli with a smile, "Mother-in-law said I'm very handsome."

Yuan Li glanced at him, "You should be your mother."

Chu Hechao patted his leg, "I dare to shout, but do your parents dare to answer?"

Yuan Li's brows and eyes were worried, and he stopped talking.

Seeing him like this, Chu Hechao felt distressed, sighed, and leaned over to kiss him, "It's okay, I'm not afraid to hide it for the rest of my life. Yuan Li, as long as you and I live forever, we can talk about anything..."

The murmur was trivial, and when it passed through the door, it was already faintly disappeared.

Standing outside the door, Mrs. Chen froze in place, the hand that was about to open the door trembled.Her face turned pale in an instant, the expression in her eyes changed again and again, and she slowly closed her hands.

She listened quietly to the words in the door, breathing so lightly that there was no sound.

"Chu Ciye!"

The man smiled smugly, his face was red and his ears were hot, "No one."

Chen's lips lost all color, and she closed her eyes.

She didn't want to believe what she was hearing.

Her son, unexpectedly with Chu Hechao...

……

Yuan Li and Chu Hechao didn't have to wait long before Mrs. Chen opened the door and came in.

Seeing her empty hands, Yuan Li couldn't help wondering: "Mother, where are you carrying?"

Mrs. Chen smiled, walked to the table and sat down without any change, "Look at me, I even forgot that this is the Prince Chu's mansion, not ours. I went out and walked around but didn't find the kitchen, so I came back first. Wait Lin Tian is here, let him run again."

"Okay," Yuan Li said, "You sit at ease and don't need other things, these are enough."

Lin Tian quickly brought the bowls and chopsticks.Mrs. Chen had already eaten before coming to Chu Palace, so she watched the two of them eat with a smile, and when her eyes touched Yuanli, she felt a little more warmth and kindness.

When Yuanli picked up the tea and took a sip, Chen suddenly said: "Le Jun, mother wants to marry you."

Yuan Li immediately sprayed out the tea in his mouth, "Pfft."

Mrs. Chen didn't seem to notice, and said in a soft voice: "You are 24 now, and it's time to get married. My mother fell in love with a girl a few days ago. She has good looks and a good person. She is very virtuous and virtuous. My mother likes it very much. "

Chu Hechao's hands under the table clenched into fists.

Yuan Li coughed lowly, wiped her lips with a handkerchief, "Mother, I..."

"Mother can't wait anymore, she wants to have a big grandson," Chen interrupted him, although her tone was still gentle, but she could not be questioned, "Le Jun, mother is getting old, and I don't know how long she can live. In today's world I'm not stable, only when I see you get married and have children, will my mother feel at ease."

Chu Hechao's heart was heavy, he opened his mouth, "Auntie..."

Mrs. Chen looked back at him, "Ci Ye, since you call me aunt, then you can speak for me in a fair way. I only have one son, Yuan Li, and the Yuan family entrusts him to him. He is only 24 now, Such an achievement has already been achieved. Look at people like my son in this world, who hasn’t married a wife and had children yet? I’m really anxious in my heart, so anxious that I can’t wait to marry his daughter-in-law home for him.”

Wiping her tears, she said one sentence after another in Chu Hechao's ears, "Ci Ye, it's time for him to get married. Don't blame my aunt for saying this cruelly, but he has been in your Chu Palace for six years. But it's been six years! You've entered the door, and now you're 24. When you were congratulating your elder brother, your mother told our family that Yuanli would be able to marry in the future——Ci Ye, just be an aunt begging Please, follow me to persuade Yuanli."

There was a moment of silence in the room.

Chu Hechao's nails were so painful, he pulled his lips, and smiled as usual, "Auntie, I'm 32 and haven't married yet, so you're looking for the wrong person."

Chen was silent for a moment, then looked at Yuanli, "Li'er, tell your mother, what kind of girl do you like?"

"Mom," Yuan Li seemed to sigh, "I like people who can stand out for me when I'm being bullied, I like to give me potatoes to eat, I like to give me my share of ice cubes in summer, and hunting in winter." Make me a scarf..."

He paused, looked up at Chen, "Mom, I like—"

Mrs. Chen rubbed her forehead suddenly, with a tired look on her face, "Mother is a little tired, Lier, mother should go back to rest first."

Without waiting for Yuanli and Chu Hechao to say anything else, she got up and left in a hurry.

Yuan Li watched her back gradually disappear, and murmured: "She already knows."

When Chen Shi said the first sentence, Yuan Li felt something was wrong.

How could she, who had lived in Chu Palace for a while, not know where the kitchen was.

"That's fine," Yuan Li finally said, "They will know sooner or later."

When Mrs. Chen returned to Yuan Mansion, she locked herself in the room without seeing anyone.

After Yuan Song came back, he went to look for her in the room, "Ma'am, how is Li'er injured? You and I will go to Chu Palace to visit him again?"

The bedroom was dimly lit by candlelight.

Under the candlelight, Mrs. Chen was sewing a robe with a needle and thread.

Yuan Song was slightly surprised, "Ma'am, who are you sewing robes for? Why don't you let the maid do it for you?"

Mrs. Chen smiled slightly, the warm yellow candlelight reflected on the corners of her lips, she looked at Wen Wan joyfully, "I went to see Lier today, he was not seriously injured, but the clothes he was wearing looked uncomfortable, so I thought Make a set for him with my own hands. I didn’t even give him anything good for his birthday a few days ago.”

"Nonsense," Yuan Song walked up to her and sat down, and flipped the candle wick for her, "My son's birthday is the life and death of the mother. It should be the child's gratitude to the mother. How can I let you give the son something?" ?”

Chen said angrily, "Didn't I want to do it for him?"

Yuan Song stroked his beard and shook his head, then remembered what he asked just now: "The injury is really not serious? Why don't we go and see him again?"

"Master," Mrs. Chen smiled, "it's so late, you just came back, you're exhausted! You just have to have a good meal and sleep, you really don't need to go. This is what I said, so don't worry !"

Yuan Song couldn't help but feel a little more relieved: "Then listen to Madam, I'll go and see Lier after I'm not busy for two days. By the way, Ma'am, didn't you show Lier a girl a few days ago, how did you look?" gone?"

The needle in Chen's hand pierced her finger, she wiped away the blood and smiled, "No rush."

Yuan Song wondered: "You were the one who was in a hurry before, but now you are the one who says there is no rush. Why did you change your mind when you went to Chu Palace?"

Mrs. Chen wiped her hair with a needle, lowered her head, and said, "I just think that there are not many women in Ji County who are worthy of my son. Although Lier is not young, there is no need to worry about getting a wife. He is now I'm busy now, if I marry someone who is noisy, wouldn't the house be in peace?"

Yuan Song frowned, "He's 24 now."

The tears in Chen's eyes fell quietly into her clothes, she wiped her face with the back of her hand without any trace, and said calmly, "Master, we are not in a hurry, not at all. Just let him, this child has made up his mind since he was a child." .”

Yuan Song sighed, helplessly, "Okay, okay, then wait a little longer."
