Chapter 270: If you're not family, you don't enter the door

~8 min read 1,494 words

Not worrying about Chinu......

That's definitely impossible.

I don't know if it's because she now has a child in her belly, but Du Shanü even finds herself thinking more——

Chinu has always been an unrepentant Chinu.

Before, he kept whispering in her ear that he wanted a child; now the child has finally come, and Chinu, upon hearing, would surely be happy, right?

If the first child is Chinu's, then later he'll have a child by his side, and when facing the people of Cang Cheng, his confidence will be greater.

Besides, raising children is busy work; Chinu's attention will be divided, so she won't constantly mutter things like 'Yu Lve has love, I don't' or 'Everyone favors the Young Emperor,' those resentful words toward others and herself.

Since the descendants all say that child is filial, he will surely be obedient to elders in the future, causing no worry at all......

Could it be that people exist just for the hope of this bit of familial joy?

After all, Yu Baobao has a good temperament; she will surely treat the child as her own, with one fatherly and one filial, so even if she goes out to war in all directions, she can rest easy.

This is indeed a good thing, but I don't know why, in the prophecy of the descendants, she would later have so many nominal sons......

This is indeed a good thing, but I don't know why, in the prophecy of the Converging Child, she will later have so many Nominal sons...

Du Shanü was lost in thought when, from a few steps away, that scholar who always seemed like an ancient moon softly chuckled.

Du Shanü shifted her gaze, only to see Chen Weifang no longer looking at her.

The scholar, whose colors had faded somewhat, patiently sealed the letter bit by bit, and only after a long while did he speak softly:

"The female lead is always like this, constantly worrying about Chinu, but when it truly concerns the Young Emperor, she seems to have endless excuses."

Chinu followed her from a young age, getting a minor injury every three days and a major one every five days.

She's always out in wind and rain, yet has no official title, and even now many still think they're having an affair......

How come, is his Chinu destined to be lowly?

Deserving of being overlooked at first glance, deserving of now having a child yet not being favored?

Talking about great righteousness for the world is all fake.

"Only the Saint's private feelings are real."

"He, Chen Weifang, is indeed a ruthless villain."

"Yet the Saint looks down from above, despising the 'little thoughts' of villains—could the Saint not be laughable?"

"As long as there's favoritism, it's nothing but blatant favoritism......"

Chen Weifang let out a light sigh, held the sealed letter, rose, and slowly walked to Du Shanü's side.

Du Shanü, being young, couldn't withstand that gaze; she was about to turn away when, in her peripheral vision, a black shadow slowly approached.

The sunlight was weak, the lingering warmth about to fade but not yet gone.

Only when she clearly felt that warmth on her cheek did Du Shanü realize what had happened——

Until she clearly felt that warmth on her cheek, Du Shanü finally realized what had happened——

Chen Weifang, through the letter, actually lifted her face.

At arm's length, Du Shanü for the first time clearly saw the scholar's tranquil demeanor, his face like an ancient moon, and in his eyes a hint of grace.

His hue is utterly different from Chinu's......

It is extremely light, extremely slow, extremely detached and indifferent in expression.

But beneath the skin, it hides a frenzy and hatred that, though different in form, are the same in essence.

Du Shanü glanced once and couldn't help feeling a bit dazzled, wanting to brush away that overly intrusive hand on her face.

Du Shanü glanced at it once and couldn't help finding it somewhat glaring; she wanted to brush away that overly presumptuous hand on her face.

Chen Weifang's words always come a step ahead.

The elder's gentle yet hard-to-hide detached gaze fell on her eyebrows, eyes, nose bridge, and cheek.

The complexity of that gaze, Du Shanü couldn't even tell what it was......

Perhaps, there is disappointment, there is condemnation.

Or perhaps, it's merely an indelible grudge.

Chen Weifang said:

"Chinu loves you."

Chen Weifang, in the end, only said:

"What's so hard to understand...... Chinu loves you."

"Miss the heavens and earth, and the heavens and earth will not resent you."

"Miss Chinu, and you will resent heaven and earth for lifetimes."

Chinu is good, Chinu is good.

In his heart, Chinu is better than the Young Emperor.

Just as Yu Lve and A Chou favor the Young Emperor, he too is partial to Chinu.

No one understands better than him what Chinu wants—nothing but favoritism, nothing but favoritism.

Divided too clearly, too openly, too distinctly......

Even if split into two equal loves, to Chinu it would be no love.

Even, it is humiliation.

Yu Baobao already has many who favor her; why can't she favor Chinu a bit more???

A thin family letter, separating flesh-and-blood closeness.

Yet it brought about an even greater sense of dread.

Chinu is a cold ghost, a gorgeous ghost, a quiet autumn begonia beneath the tall, fragrant courtyard.

Chinu is a cold ghost, is a bewitching ghost, is the secluded and quiet autumn crabapple beneath the luxuriant fragrant courtyard.

As for Chen Weifang, she is a wisteria vine that hangs down, growing old, beneath a certain decayed archway.

The wisteria vines grow entwined with trees; they cannot live alone, they live for love, and die without love......

In other words, it means——

Strangling, binding, and the love of suffocation.

Chen Weifang is warm, very warm, not at all as cold as Chinu.

However, when his "flower branches" entwine Du Shanü, Du Shanü still feels his overwhelming emotions like a rope, almost strangling her.

The wisteria looks elegant and solitary, yet it cannot leave its host even for a moment.

Chen Weifang......

Chen Weifang also attends to every detail, no matter how big or small.

Those whom he approves and who become entwined with him are destined to bear this love that is hard to breathe.

This sect, truly……

It truly is the same kind of eerie, ghostly aura!

Du Shanü has no idea what to do.

Du Shanü truly has no idea what to do.

She slightly tilted her head, and when she spoke again, she could be described as utterly exhausted in body and mind:

"Afang, I truly love Chinu."

She even bore Chinu's first child; how could she possibly favor anyone else?

Before, when she had not opened her heart to Chinu, seeing him shed a few tears, she would do everything she could to let Yu Baobao accept Chinu.

Now, now Chinu and Afang always beg for pity before her, and she again tries everything to make them stand tall.

The child in her belly is a living, breathing child!

Having a child, Dun Cheng is also a place of decision; she is destined not to go far……

Her heart is practically bent out of shape; how else could she possibly favor anyone?

How vast the world is, yet she happens to meet two people so special, so hard to convince?

Not only are they hard to convince, but Chinu and Afang, even before her, can subtly seize the conversation, not yielding……

Can this be right?

Can this truly be right?

Du Shanü is exhausted to the extreme, while Chen Weifang remains silent for a long time before barely regaining her composure.

Chen Weifang lowered her eyes, reopened a proper distance from Du Shanü, tucked the letter into her sleeve, and then spoke respectfully:

"...... This is the most natural way."

"But if one day you cannot do it, I will take Chinu and leave."

Her expression was respectful, but the words she spoke had nothing to do with the two characters 'respectful'.

Afang...

Afang today didn't even call her 'female lead', she just started saying 'you you you'!

Du Shanü, momentarily angered to the point of a headache, spoke without restraint:

"Then why don't you take my child as well?"

Chen Weifang's eyes lit up this time:

"Does the Wise Lord consent?"

The Wise Lord is brought up again!

Du Shanü gritted her teeth, speaking each word with a pause:

"Nonsense! Of course not!!!"

"Don't chatter about this nonsense—hurry go check on Chinu's news!"

"He still hasn't sent back a letter by now; he might be injured!!!"

?? I just remembered a joke——

? 【Back then he left his hometown, and the folks there never got to drink a sip of well water again】

? If Afang really leaves one day, taking Chinu and Yuan Long together in a bundle, then Shasha will truly face separation of husband and children, hahaha
