After lunch, Chen Shiying hastily took off for Wangshan Village in a carriage, accompanied by two attendants, while the Marquis Chu took the two children back to Tang Garden.
Ms. Chu was reluctant to leave Fu Garden, but Marquis Chu laughed and said, "You can't spend your whole day here, you should let your auntie rest a bit."
These words struck Chen Afu with silent resentment. They offered only concern for others but neglected themselves. Even the Emperor had a holiday today, yet they came to Fu Garden for a free meal. Although they had paid for the meal, her home was not a wine-shop, open to the public every day.
Though she thought these things, she couldn't voice them. She cajoled the little girl, laughing, "Be a good girl. Have a nap with your grandpa. In the evening, your aunt will make you and your uncle watermelon ice."
After hearing these words, Ms. Chu finally agreed and went off with grandpa and little uncle, her lips pursed in a pout.
