Chapter 284 The Past is Hard to Remember
Seeing Jin Chu's expression soften, Su Cheng'an stood up and gently put his arm around her shoulders, coaxing her softly, "Ah Jin, you and I are connected by heart. I'm sure you wouldn't want our child to be born into a chaotic world where war is rampant and life is uncertain, right?"
"If the Dingbei Palace is unfortunately destroyed, even if this child is born safely, what are the chances of him growing up safely in this chaotic world?"
"Even if he manages to grow up safely, as the descendant of a traitor, he will have to live in endless fear for the rest of his life."
"Hiding all day, hiding his identity, living like a shadow that cannot see the light, living such a painful and tormented life. How could we bear to bring him into this world to suffer?"
Jin Chu's eyelashes drooped slightly, hiding her inner emotions. After a moment, she looked up at the young man in front of her and said unwillingly, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Su Cheng'an just curled up the corners of his lips when he heard Jin Chu utter the word "dan" again.
"However, we've been married for nearly a year now, and my sister-in-law is pregnant just a month after we got married. She'll be due in a few months, but mine is empty. Although Mother is kind and gentle, the contrast between the two makes me worried."
"These days, Mother has been sending me all sorts of nourishing soups and stews pretty regularly. Even I can tell she's really worried, but she's keeping it to herself out of consideration for my feelings! We've always had a good relationship, and if there's still no news after I come back, maybe..."
Having said that, Jin Chu glanced at Su Cheng'an's lower body with a smile.
She drawled out her words, her gloating expression undisguised: "Perhaps Mother will suspect that your health is failing. Then, you can just wait to drink the soup of her motherly love!"
Su Cheng'an was surprised she would say such words. After a moment's shock, he leaned forward with a playful smile and whispered in her ear, "Mother, you don't know the situation, so it's understandable that you doubt me. Ah Jin, you've experienced it so many times yourself, don't you know what your husband is capable of?"
Jin Chu's pretty face flushed, and she suppressed her embarrassment and glared at him: "What's the point of me knowing your abilities? The most important thing is that Mother knows! If you don't find a way to dispel her doubts, you'll have to wait and see."
As soon as he finished speaking, the handsome face of the usually calm prince fell.
This is a matter of a man's dignity. Even if they are biological mother and son, he cannot say this directly to Princess Du.
Besides, compared to the consequences of telling the truth, he would rather let his mother misunderstand that he is not in good health!
实在不行他就只能捏着鼻子，这两年多喝点母爱羹汤吧，若真直言相告的话，莫说母妃，估计连父王都得跳起来揍他。
Between two evils, he chose the lesser one. In contrast, he decided to let his mother misunderstand that he was not in good health.
Jin Chu looked at Su Cheng'an's unhappy, aggrieved and depressed look, and his heart suddenly felt much more balanced.
She has been drinking the soup for nearly two months. Now it’s time to let the culprit feel the warmth of maternal love!
Su Cheng'an, just wait for your blood to rush and your nose to bleed!
Thinking of this, she showed the happiest smile in the past two days.
Seeing Jin Chu laugh, Su Cheng'an also laughed.
Yu Cheng and Yu Xing, who brought in the meal, witnessed the smiles of the master and mistress. They looked at each other and started laughing too.
Finally we are back to normal!
After the meal, the two of them drank tea and talked about what Su Cheng'an had seen and heard along the way.
When the two met again after a long separation, they rolled into a ball without even having time to say a few words, showing their loving affection as a couple.
Later, they finally managed to sit down and chat, but they had another disagreement about preparing for pregnancy and had a baby, and ended up parting on bad terms.
It took nearly three days before the two of them could actually sit down and talk about some serious business.
Thinking of Chen Zhe, Su Cheng'an asked Jinchu, "How many of my father-in-law's staff members did you know?"
When he asked this, two or three figures flashed through Jin Chu's mind like a kaleidoscope, but he couldn't remember any of them clearly.
Thinking further, he suddenly felt a headache. Jin Chu subconsciously hugged his head, and a look of pain appeared on his face.
Seeing Jinchu like this, Su Chengan was shocked and hurriedly hugged her and shouted: "Ajin, Ajin, what's wrong with you?"
Jin Chu leaned in Su Cheng'an's arms, soothing the sharp pain like a needle. Facing the young man's concerned face, she smiled soothingly and then slowly spoke.
"I don't know what's going on, but ever since I narrowly escaped death four years ago, my childhood memories have become increasingly vague. Now, it's reached a point where I can't even think about it. Whenever I think about the past, my head feels like it's being pierced by needles."
As he spoke, Jin Chu smiled bitterly: "Su Cheng'an, I'm afraid I can't give you an answer."
"Then we don't want to not answer!"
Su Chengan said without hesitation, while his hands were very gently rubbing the girl's Dangyang acupoint, "It's not a serious matter, Ajin, don't worry about it."
"I don't want to think about it anymore, but why did you suddenly bring up the matter of my father's staff?"
Jin Chu met Su Cheng'an's gaze with a hint of curiosity on his face. "Could it be that you met one of his former staff members?"
Su Cheng'an never speaks without a purpose. There must be a reason why he asked this question this time.
She was busy thinking about things, and Su Cheng'an was also thinking secretly in his heart.
Chen Zhe should arrive in Youyun City in a few days, and he will definitely meet me then. If I keep him by my side in the future, it is inevitable that I will meet Jin Chu.
Thinking about it this way, it would be better to let Ajin know about this matter in advance, so that if he encounters it in the future, he will have a plan to deal with it.
So he told Jin Chu in detail about his encounter with Chen Zhe on the way and all the agreements they had made.
Finally, he kindly instructed: "When the group of women and children arrive, Chen Zhe should be here soon. Then I will arrange for you to meet. It will be like a reunion between old friends."
Hearing that Chen Zhe had not forgotten his old master and was determined to join the Dingbei Palace to clear the grievances for his old master, Jin Chu couldn't help but feel a little more favorable towards this man whom he had never met.
The Wu'an Marquis family has been destroyed for many years, but Chen Zhe still remembers the injustice suffered by Ye Shengpei, which shows that he is a man who values friendship and gratitude.
Such a person, even if his abilities are limited, will never do anything evil or betray his master.
Moreover, now that the blood of his former master is in the Dingbei Palace, Chen Zhe will definitely be loyal to the Dingbei Palace and remain committed to it.
From this point of view, Chen Zhe is undoubtedly another trustworthy and reliable person in the Dingbei Palace!
After figuring this out, Jinchu smiled slightly and promised Su Chengan earnestly: "If Chen Zhe is really an old subordinate of my father and you think he can be used, then I will come forward to meet him as Ye Jinchu."
"Good Ah Jin, you are really smart!"
Su Chengan was pleased with Jin Chu's quick understanding, and then he said in a gentle voice, "Don't worry, I will send someone to thoroughly investigate his identity and determine whether it is true or not, and then decide whether to let him meet you."
"Okay, just take care of these things."
Jin Chu nodded in agreement and then asked, "Besides this Chen Zhe, did you gain anything else from this trip?"
"It can't be said that we gained anything. We can only say that we were moved by compassion and took in hundreds of orphans of the Northwest Army who died in battle."
Speaking of that group of poor and innocent women and children, the smile on Su Cheng'an's face instantly disappeared, and his expression became solemn. He slowly told Jin Chu the cause and effect, the whole story.
Jin Chu was originally leaning casually, but after listening to this story, he sat up straighter unconsciously. The originally happy smile on his face was gradually replaced by an increasingly solemn expression, and his heart was filled with compassion and sympathy for those women and children.
