Quick Wear: Explosive Change! The cannon fodder female supporting role is done with it

Chapter 77 The Early Death of the Original Wife in the Cousin's Story 35
The palace issued an edict that Concubine Rou wanted to see her family, so she asked Fang and Linzhi to bring Wang into the palace. The palace servants specifically explained that they were afraid that Wang did not know the etiquette and would offend the nobles.

Fang and Lin Zhi didn't know what to say, so the next day they accompanied Wang, who was dressed elegantly, to the palace to meet Chu Rou.

After not seeing her for a few years, she looked even more dazzling and beautiful. She sat on the chaise longue and waited for them to finish their greetings before she smiled and asked them to stand up and sit on the chair.

The two thanked her and sat down, then listened to her and Wang's conversation. After two incense sticks, Chu Rou looked at Lin Zhi and said, "Your Majesty told me yesterday that my elder brother has made great achievements in Jiangzhou and will be transferred back to the capital soon. Now my sister-in-law can be reunited with my elder brother."

Lin Zhi said shyly: "It is his job to share your majesty's worries. I support the prince."

Concubine Rou praised, "Sister-in-law is still so considerate." Then she said, "Why don't you bring Fengzao? I still want to meet him."

She touched her belly, her face glowing with maternal love. "I'm thinking that after the baby is born, if it's a prince, I'll let Fengrao come to the palace to study with him. The two of them will keep each other company. What do you think, sister-in-law and aunt?"

Lin Zhi... Chu Rou is so rude. She hasn't even given birth to a child yet, but she's already thinking of letting Chu Fengrao be her study companion.

What's more, she had just shown them her power, and the next moment they asked her to send her son to the palace. Did she really think that everyone would flatter her if the queen became pregnant?
Fang smiled and said, "The child pestered the Marquis to go horseback riding in the suburbs today, and followed the Marquis out early in the morning. When I go to the palace next time, I will bring him to meet the Empress." The Marquis specifically instructed that no matter what Concubine Rou said, she must not agree to it, and she still remembered it.

Lin Zhi also said: "That boy is too playful and might corrupt the little prince. The little prince has so many brothers and he won't be lonely with them by his side in the future. Your Majesty can rest assured." There was a gentle smile on her lips, as if she had no other intentions.

Concubine Rou's smile faltered slightly. She stared at Lin Zhi and then smiled slowly: "Sister-in-law is right. I will talk to my elder brother about this matter later."

What it means is that you are not the one who is in charge of the Marquis's Mansion. If Chu Jing is interested, Lin Zhi can't stop him even if she wants to. It would be stupid to refuse him early. Although he didn't say it directly, he looked at Lin Zhi with contempt.

Linzhi...

Because the conversation was not pleasant, they left the palace after not sitting for long.

Along the way, the two of them didn't pay much attention to Wang until they passed a fork in the road and met the prince in front.

Lin Zhi couldn't help but look around, and it seemed that he saw the official's family. He ordered people to stop and stand far away waiting for a few people to leave first. They were about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a slender figure and the majesty of a royal family.

The Crown Prince is the Queen's only child. He is a standard Crown Prince. His Majesty and the ministers are very satisfied with him.

However, he was unlucky. In the original plot, a few years later, he accompanied the emperor on a tour, but accidentally contracted an epidemic and died because there was no cure.

When he died, the Queen was devastated and devoted herself to Buddhism from then on, and His Majesty no longer appointed a crown prince.

As a result, the remaining princes all felt that they had a chance and fought fiercely. Some died and some were imprisoned. In the end, it was Concubine Rou's son who remained intact and sat on the throne.

The three of them knelt down and saluted the prince from a distance, then followed the palace maid and continued to leave.

Linzhi looked back and saw that the prince was heading towards the harem, which should be the palace of the queen or the queen mother. She lowered her eyes.

It was the new year, and Linzhi began to make arrangements for the New Year and received some New Year gifts from distant relatives in the Marquis's Mansion. Among them, the most eye-catching was the pile of salted fish sent by Chu Jing from Jiangzhou, and the several large carts of dried fruits sent by Chu Ji.

These are local specialties. They were sold to the capital by the two people in the past two years. Unexpectedly, the sales were quite good. Every New Year, the people would buy them. Each courtyard was given a portion. After the distribution, everyone returned to the courtyard. Aunt Mei couldn't wait to return to the Mei courtyard. She wanted to see the news of her grandson and daughter-in-law as soon as possible. Yes, Chu Ji got married not long after arriving in Bingzhou.

The woman was a local, and she was a tofu seller in public. She was his wife in his previous life.

When the letter was brought back, Lord Chu was furious, but Aunt Mei didn't take it seriously. She thought that as long as she was a good girl and her son was happy, that was enough.

The two now have a son who is over one year old.

Lin Zhi sent a lot of gifts to Bingzhou at that time. Not long after, Jiang also sent gifts back. Although they were not expensive, they showed that she was a person who knew the rules. No wonder Chu Ji could not forget them.

She returned to Ruyi Courtyard with her son and opened the box. Inside were various toys of Jiangzhou children, as well as the thorny hairpins and dresses worn by women. She smiled, took off the expensive jeweled hairpin on her head and put it on.

Little Fengrao couldn't let go of the toy and suddenly asked, "Mom, when will Dad come back?"

He knew that he had a father, and that his father would send things to him and his mother every month, but he had never seen him: "I can already recognize a thousand words, why hasn't my father come back yet!" He had long forgotten what his father looked like.

Linzhi... Who would have thought that such a little kid could sit still and learn just to see his dad.

"It's almost there, Daddy might already be on the way. Rao'er can also learn more, maybe Daddy will see how hard you work and come home soon."

Chu Fengrao was very easy to coax: "Really? Then the child will go to school now, and daddy will be back tomorrow!"

He put the gift from Chu Jing into his treasure chest, handed it to his servant, and ran to the study to study impatiently.

Lin Zhi looked down at the box full of gifts and thought, Chu Jing, if you don't come back soon, she will lose her prestige in front of her son. It would be better to come back after the New Year as spring plowing is approaching.

This year's New Year's celebration was more lively than in previous years. Chu Fengrao followed his servants in lighting firecrackers and had a particularly good time.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Zhi brought her son back to the Shangshu Mansion. The little guy pestered Shangshu Lin to play tossing pots, and Shangshu Lin indulged him, making the child laugh out loud, and then coaxed him to recite a few more poems.

Lin Zhi found it funny. Minister Lin was a scholar. Ever since he discovered that his grandson seemed to have a talent for academics, he would teach him to recite poems whenever he found the chance.

In the days that followed, they visited relatives or waited for guests to come. On the 10th, Linzhi followed Fang into the palace to attend a palace banquet. Roupin called her over to talk, but she went to pay her respects to the queen and the two started chatting.

When Concubine Rou wanted to talk to her, the palace banquet began, so she had to give up. When the banquet ended, Linzhi had already left.

She deliberately didn't give Concubine Rou a chance to speak. Concubine Rou thought that the second and third houses and the Marquis' Mansion all had the surname "Chu", so they would naturally support her son. After all, who doesn't want to be a royal relative?
Because of this idea, she also had an attitude of "you are the ones begging me" towards the Marquis' Mansion and had no respect for anyone at all.

Linzhi put it out of her mind and returned to her daily routine after the New Year. It was not until the manager of the manor came into the mansion and said to prepare for spring ploughing that she suddenly realized that it was time for spring ploughing.

So, should someone come back too?
