Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

Chapter 521 - 521 512

?Chapter 521: 512 Chapter 521: 512 Seeing Liao Chen was so obstinate, Chen Afu felt utterly helpless. She said, “Knowing that mother-in-law is in danger, how could we possibly not send someone to protect you? What kind of man would I have to face uncle if something were to happen to you? Nevermind, I will not return to Capital City either, but stay with mother-in-law instead. Wherever you go, I’ll follow. If we have to live, let’s live together. If we have to die, we’ll die together.”

Liao Chen shook her head, “That’s out of the question. You’re still young and because of the child, you cannot take risks.”

Chen Afu said, “If maternal grandmother knows it’s dangerous to live here, why are you still staying? Filial piety is the most important of all virtues, and a daughter-in-law cannot abandon her mother-in-law.”

Liao Chen closed her eyes, squeezing her prayer beads with both hands. “Amitabha Buddha, Xuan’er’s wife, you speak frequently of filial duty, so you must listen to me. Tomorrow, take Yan’er back to Capital City and let Qi’er and Mrs. Song return to Dingzhou Mansion.”

Seeing her like this, Chen Afu recalled statements made by Chu Lingxuan in the past – Liao Chen, when she was young, had once locked Marquis Chu out for the whole night and refused to listen to his explanations. Such obstinacy, indeed, invoked anger.

Chen Afu wasn’t from ancient times and didn’t refrain from talking back to elders. She said, “Grandmother, it seems to me that you deem me and Yan’er’s lives, along with the lives of the couple, as precious. As long as we leave this place and survive, that’s enough.” Pointing a finger outside, she continued, “Bbut Uncle Luo who serves you, the young monks by your side, and the guards who protect Grandmother, their lives are not precious? They can die with Grandmother at any time? Grandmother, in front of Buddha, all lives are equal. Not only are the lives of those outside who serve and protect grandmother precious, grandmother’s life is even more valuable. Grandmother has faith in Buddhism and should treasure everyone’s life regardless. Moreover, as a nun, things like pride and face held in high esteem by worldly people should not matter to you. In the face of life, these things are nothing… Buddha also said that saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda.”
