This matter has finally been settled.
Although nothing substantial happened, as Mr. Xu said, the four words "people's words are scary" are enough.
The last bit of estrangement in Master Chen's heart was also dispelled by Mr. Xu's actions. After returning home and washing his face, he sighed to his wife softly, "The two children are not destined to be together. They are not suitable for each other."
Mrs. Chen was a very gentle woman. She was not angry after hearing such a big thing. Instead, she breathed a sigh of relief and shook her head with a smile: "I have said since I was a child that the girl was wronged." Seeing that Master Chen frowned, she said: "Don't be unhappy to hear it. We think our own child is naturally good. We are also thinking about him. We want to find him a girl with a good family background and a good match to take care of him in the future, but we have to think about the girl. People's hearts will change. A good family background means that the girl's upbringing is naturally good. Maybe we can hold it back for a while, but what about the long run? There will always be a day when we are gone. By then, the brothers will have separated and each has their own family affairs. How can they take care of Yun'er's affairs?"
These are the thoughts that I have thought about countless times in my mind every day, and it is very natural to say them now: "It's not that they are bad, but people's hearts are fickle, and people are not equal. Now that something like this has happened, it's actually a good thing."
Mrs. Chen saw that Master Chen was in deep thought, so she said, "This way, firstly, it finally puts my mind at ease, and secondly, it allows you to see the Liu family clearly, and it also allows you to have a better understanding of the Liu family. It also allows you to have a better relationship with Mr. Xu, and you can also make friends with the imperial envoy. Isn't this a good thing?"
Master Chen smiled, a little embarrassed: "I am not as clear-headed as you think. You said that you only thought about how to make the best plan for Yun'er, but forgot that Jiaojiao is a spoiled girl after all, and she is young... As you said, it is hard to say what will happen in the future."
"Yes." Madam Chen smiled gently: "Yun'er is my biological child, and I don't want to harm others. In my opinion, although he likes Jiaojiao, does he really know what love is? He just likes whoever is close to him. In this case, doesn't he like Du Ruo Mudan as well?"
Madam Chen paused for a moment before saying, "They are all children born in our family. Everything is in our family. Even if they are given status in the future, other people will still have a say."
Mudan Duruo has been with Chen Yun since childhood and grew up with him.
But no matter how nice and caring they were, they were just maids, and Master Chen was a little hesitant.
Madam Chen smiled and said, "Since Jiaojiao is not good, are the girls from other wealthy families good? Since we knew we couldn't find someone higher, we might as well look for someone lower. I saw Du Ruo and Mu Dan coldly. Both of them are honest and loyal. Their mothers and fathers work on the farm, and their brothers and sisters are all from this mansion..."
Master Chen also sighed and agreed, saying, "Let's wait and see for a while."
Just as Madam Chen said, these two girls are under control. As a father, Master Chen always wants to find a better one for his son. Although the girl does not have to be from a high family, it is best if she is not a slave.
Madam Chen stopped talking and just asked Master Chen: "How are you going to deal with this matter?"
This time, Master Chen did not hesitate any more.
The Liu family's move was too much and was intended to push him to death - everyone in Rongcheng knew that his eldest son was his life.
It was because he knew that the Liu family was deliberately using this to plot against him that his eyes turned cold in an instant. He snorted and laughed sarcastically, "How should we respond? Of course, I will respond in the same way as the Imperial Envoy. Do we have to go up and apologize to them, saying that we were wrong and didn't let them succeed in their plot and ruined their good fortune?"
It was rare for Master Chen to speak so sharply, and it was obvious that he was very angry. Madam Chen gently pressed his neck and shoulders, and said softly: "Don't be anxious..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Madam Chen's trusted maid came through the window outside and reported that it was the butler who wanted to see him.
At this time, it was already late at night. Mrs. Chen was a little surprised. She glanced at Mr. Chen and said softly, "It's so late, I wonder what happened..."
After all, the Liu family had just plotted against Shen Chen, so she couldn't help but think in that direction.
Master Chen had already stood up. At this time, there must be news over there, so the housekeeper would come to him in a hurry in the middle of the night. He patted Madam Chen's hand and said, "I'll go and take a look. You don't have to wait for me. Go to bed first."
They had a very good relationship between husband and wife. Except for an unfavored concubine, Mr. Chen stayed in Mrs. Chen's room almost every day.
Madam Chen nodded, straightened his clothes for him, and reminded him: "It's late at night and the dew is heavy. You should also take care of yourself and don't stay out too late."
Master Chen agreed and hurried to the flower hall. The first thing he asked was, "What happened? Is there any movement from the Liu family?"
The housekeeper was wandering around anxiously, and when he turned around and saw Master Chen walking quickly and asking questions, he followed him and walked a few steps into the door. He immediately said, "Yes, Master, there is news over there. Many people from the Liu family went there... to ask the Imperial Envoy for someone."
Master Chen was stunned.
What were the Liu family thinking? Why would they go directly to Shen Chen to ask for someone
He didn't say anything.
The housekeeper said directly: "A lot of people from the Liu family went there and surrounded the posthouse, threatening the imperial envoy, saying that the imperial envoy had confessed under torture and wrongly accused the young masters of the Liu family, saying that the imperial envoy had ulterior motives..."
This is really true, is the Liu family preparing to rebel? !
"They are really rebellious! They caught the perpetrators with evidence, and this is considered unjust, then what is not unjust?!" Master Chen snorted coldly: "These people are really bold, they can do such a thing! How about the Imperial Envoy?"
If Shen Chen can't handle it, they will definitely go to help.
After all, the imperial envoy has 3,000 guards, who cannot enter the city and are all outside the city gate. The people brought with him by the imperial envoy may not be able to resist the wolves and tigers of the Liu family.
Come to think of it, the Liu family is probably really desperate - what about the Liu family's future hope? Almost everything has been lost. No one can remain calm, so the Liu family couldn't help but go there overnight - they also know in their hearts that the longer this matter is delayed, the clearer the evidence will be, and Shen Chen will not let go of this opportunity. He will definitely seize the opportunity to confirm the matter. By that time, everything will be too late.
