?Chapter 419: Chapter 414: Feigning Illness Chapter 419: Chapter 414: Feigning Illness The next day, the temperature suddenly dropped, the cold wind was biting, and the snow was falling thick and fast. Overnight, the roofs, trees, and ground were all covered in a thick layer of snow. The little maids in the courtyard swept the snow to the side, laughing as they built two snowmen.
Chen Afu, sitting by the window, felt a heavy burden on her heart. If this snow continued to fall, regardless if it stopped at the end of the first or second lunar month, or even if it only lasted for eight or ten days, it would still be a disaster. The Chu family members who knew the inside story did not wish for Master Wu Zhi’s prophecy to come true. Because if it did, not only would the Chu family face an unknown catastrophe, but who knew how many of the common folk would freeze or starve to death in the snowstorm.
On the afternoon of the 25th, the heavy snow was still falling. Chen Afu sat on the bed doing needlework. The howling wind outside the window made her feel restless, so she used her needlework to calm her nerves. Sometimes she looked at the small clothes in her hand, and at other times, she would look at her two sleeping little brothers. The boys had grown quite a bit and now they looked more like the members of the Chu family, or to be more precise, they looked very much like Marquis Chu. Chu Lingxuan looked a lot like Abbot Liao Chen, and Ms. Chu Hanyan also resembled Liao Chen because she took after Chu Lingxuan.
Marquis Chu still hadn’t seen the little twins yet. If he saw how much they looked like him, he would definitely love them to his heart’s content. From what Chu Lingxuan had said, Marquis Chu had complicated feelings for Ms. Chu. While he pitied her, he did not want to get too close to her due to the blood of Mrs. Ma that she carried. Therefore, he looked forward to children born by Chen Afu even more.
Thinking of that pitiable girl, Chen Afu felt distressed when she thought of her and Dabao. She rubbed her chest and stared blankly as she thought of the two of them. Suddenly, a servant reported that a chamberlain from Princess Rong Zhao’s Mansion was coming to visit her. The gatekeeper had received early notice that if anyone from the princess’ mansion wanted to see Chen Afu, they must report it with the utmost haste.
Upon hearing it, Chen Afu hurriedly put down her needle and thread and asked a little maid to report to Mrs. Chu in Anrong Hall. She herself then lay down on the bed.
