Chapter 508: Chapter 215: Heroic Marquis Chen Yi Arrives to Offer Congratulations! (Requesting Monthly Votes)_3
“Tai Xing, instruct them to prepare water, wine, and pastries, and also bring along a few pharmacists to stand by.”
“After all, so people inside are quite advanced in age. If an accident happens and soone dies outside our Chen Family’s gate, it might lead to slanderous attacks.”
Chen Lixin and Chen Lide nodded imdiately: “Mother has thought more thoroughly, Tai Xing, proceed accordingly.”
Chen Taixing looked at the expressions of the three and had no choice but to take people back outside the mansion, asking them to prepare all kinds of food and dicine.
After he left, Chen Lixin pondered for a mont and said:
“Yi Er’s approach seems to differ from before?”
Chen Lide, on the side, snorted: “I think Yi Er didn’t do wrong. Those noblen dare to plot against our Chen Family; it’s not too much for them to suffer a bit.”
Chen Lixin shook his head: “I’m not saying Yi Er shouldn’t punish them, but his thod of punishnt seems to have another intention.”
Old Madam Chen looked at him: “Go on.”
“Mother, think about it; with Yi Er’s current status, rank, and cultivation, he shouldn’t get involved with such people.”
“Even if he is to punish them, he could use more severe ans, even to the point of ruining their families.”
“Yet Yi Er chose this way, the punishnt is there, but there’s more humiliation attached.”
“In the history of the Wei Dynasty, when has anyone ever knelt in front of another’s mansion to apologize?”
After hearing Chen Lixin’s words, Chen Lide vaguely understood.
“Second brother, you an… Yi Er did this intentionally? Wants more people aware of it, causing a sensation throughout Kyoto Prefecture?”
“But what’s the benefit to him or the Chen Family from this?”
Chen Lixin shook his head, pondered for a mont, then sighed: “Now Yi Er is the Heroic Marquis, it might be hard to guess what he thinks.”
“This matter is grave; after Yi Er returns from Duke Jingye Mansion, I will go ask him a question or two.”
“You mustn’t!”
Old Madam Chen glared with cloudy eyes, her thin body still powerful as she knocked her cane a few tis and said:
“Second son, what status do you have to seek out Yi Er?”
“Don’t forget, Yi Er is now the Heroic Marquis of the Wei Dynasty, not of your grandson’s generation!”
Chen Lixin smiled bitterly upon hearing: “Mother, I, I am just worried he’s not being thorough, thinking to offer him advice.”
No matter what, he is a third-ranking official of the court; even if his martial arts aren’t enough, using his mind should be sufficient.
“Hmph!” The Old Lady grunted angrily: “Put away your thoughts. Whatever impact this matter may have, it’s Yi Er’s decision; others must not ddle!”
“Even if the Holy Emperor reprimands him, or other noble families, even royal relatives attack him, we will stand behind him!”
Chen Lixin: “…”
“Second brother, mother is right; this matter should be left for Yi Er to decide.” Chen Lide tugged him, bowed in salute:
“Mother, please don’t be upset; second brother ans no harm, just wants to support Yi Er.”
The Old Lady’s expression softened slightly, speaking sternly: “Don’t think I don’t know what’s in your minds.”
“Now that Yi Er has been conferred as Heroic Marquis by the Holy Emperor, in the future, he can only be a separate branch of our Chen Family.”
“If you wish to attach to that lineage, I will definitely not agree!”
“…”
Chen Lixin and Chen Lide exchanged glances, repeatedly claiming they’re not.
After so persuasion, they managed to calm down the Old Lady’s anger.
“Regarding Yi Er’s affairs, do not ddle; even if Taiping were here, I would still say the sa!”
“I remind you, should anyone dare to target Heroic Marquis Mansion, do not bla for disregarding deep blood ties!”
“Mother instructs well.”
Chen Lixin and Chen Lide left the rear courtyard, both showing bitter smiles.
“The Old Madam is wary of even us… She’s wholeheartedly focused on Yi Er.”
“Second brother, mother is not wrong; Yi Er’s martial arts cultivation are unlike before. Even if you have so insight, it’s hard to participate.”
Chen Lide advised: “If it’s not right, it might ruin Yi Er’s matters instead.”
Chen Lixin thought for a mont, abandoning the idea of interference, nodded: “Then let’s see how it goes.”
“And we don’t know what attitude Yi Er will have when going to Duke Jingye Mansion… Hope he doesn’t cause trouble there, otherwise…”
…
Duke Jingye Mansion.
After the earlier argunts between Lin Xueru and Wang Yang, the noble family sons who ca to observe the ceremony were much restrained.
Even though they all knew about the major events of the past two days related to Chen Yi, they kept silent about them at this mont.
Only discussing matters related to Duke Jingye Mansion, Zhou Tiance or Chen Yuan.
“Ah, seeing today’s scene reminds of over thirty years ago, when Zhou Guanwu took over the marquis position.”
A sowhat elderly middle-aged official said:
“At that ti, Old Marquis Zhou was as busy as he is today, organizing guests from various families.”
“It’s a pity, who could have thought Marquis Guanwu would die at Beixiong Pass.”
“It’s said that his sacrifice was related to an incident in Kyoto Prefecture back then?” soone beside asked.
“Silence!”
The official in court dress sternly interrupted with a raised hand: “Today we are only celebrating the new Duke Jingye!”
Clearly, uttering those words made his spine chill.
Amidst the people chatting in small groups, one of the disciples of Yuhua Immortal Sect suddenly got up and left.
“Nature’s call, need to go to the toilet.”
A servant led him through the central courtyard into the back yard, where the young Daoist in a resplendent robe suddenly showed a smile:
“Old Marquis, why aren’t you in the front courtyard entertaining guests but following ?”
Saying this, before the servant could look around, the young Daoist raised his hand and sliced across the servant’s neck, the head instantly flew off.
“Old man, you should know why!”
