Reborn After Widowhood

Chapter 14

As the sun set, Chen Jingzong stood outside the wall of his home, which was as tall as a person, with the game in his hand. He whistled and threw the game over the wall, then the person jumped and climbed onto the wall too.

At this time, he saw the little maid Zhu’er standing in the small cross yard of the west wing, raising her face and reporting to him urgently: “Prince Consort, Princess is entertaining the old madam, please be quiet!”

Chen Jingzong understood and handed the game to Zhu’er. He jumped down lightly and made almost no sound.

After spending a day in the mountains, he had a lot of dirt on his body. If he went out at this time, his mother would definitely notice him.

Chen Jingzong flicked the dirt on his clothes and asked Zhu’er: “It’s late, what is the old madam doing here?”

Zhu’er shook her head: “I don’t know either. It’s just when Sister Chao Yun gave me some instruction at the corridor, I seem to hear the old madam telling the princess not to be angry.”

Chen Jingzong stopped moving. She was the ancestor, who would dare to provoke her?

In the main room not far away, Sun shi made sure that her daughter-in-law princess didn’t take the gossip in the garden seriously. While relaxing, she suddenly thought of her Old Four and asked strangely: “It’s almost lunch time, why didn’t I see the Old Four?”

Hua Yang was half disgusted and half smiling: “Who knows, I haven’t seen him for most of the day. But don’t worry, Mom, he will definitely show up when the food is actually served.”

Fooling a child like Wan Yi, Hua Yang could evade by saying that Chen Jingzong was sleeping in, but the person in front of her was her mother-in-law, the one who dared to go into the house to wake his son up.

Sun shi guessed that the Old Four had gone out secretly, only it was difficult to tell her daughter-in-law princess and let her see a joke, but she couldn’t help but dislike him a bit.

But her dislike was different from Luo Yuyan’s ridicule. Hua Yang could see her mother-in-law’s love for her son.

But her dislike was different from Luo Yuyan’s ridicule. Hua Yang could see her mother-in-law’s love for her son.

Hua Yang suddenly asked: “Mom, Eldest Brother and Third Brother are all good at studying, then why Prince Consort chose to practice martial arts?”

In fact, she had been curious about this question in her previous life, but at that time she was not that close to the Chen family. Directly asking Chen Jingzong would have been like pointing out his shortcomings, and asking her mother-in-law might have been seen as criticizing someone else’s son to their face.

In this life, she treated Sun shi closer, so that she could talk about her family members more freely.

Seeing that her daughter-in-law’s eyes were only filled with curiosity and no other hidden meaning, Sun shi shook her head and sighed, “Well, this cannot be blamed on Jingzong entirely.”

After she married Chen Tingjian, she gave birth to four sons.

The Old One won Zhuangyuan title, the Old Two also had the honor of being a Juren before he died of illness, and the Old Three won the Tanhua title. The reading talents of these three brothers naturally did not need to be said.

As for the Old Four, when he was a child he was like his brothers, had red lips, white teeth, and pretty eyebrows. He could memorize poems and words very quickly, and he looked like a scholar seedling.
