Upon seeing Chen Afu's troubled expression, Jin Yanzi chirped and laughed, "Mummy, you still have me and the baby. When Daddy Chu goes off to fight, I'll be here, too. When I'm free, I'll go south to see Daddy Chu. If he's in trouble, I can help out."
Oh, that's true. In her worrying, she had completely forgotten about this small blessing.
Chen Afu hugged Jin Yanzi and kissed him twice, then with a smile, she said, "Good boy, mummy is blessed to have you." Then she added bashfully, "Baby, could you spare a little of the life-saving green swallow nests for Daddy Chu? You don't have to give much, just a tiny bit the size of eye discharge will do."
She felt rather embarrassed, as she had eaten green swallow nests twice during her pregnancies. Her three children also consumed a bit of the nests once they were born. If she had known that Chu Lingxuan would go to war, she would have saved some for him.
