Use a substitute on your wedding night to scatter the ashes of your entire family

Chen Shihui nodded: "Since Prince Rui has asked someone to get information from Shouye, I will pass it on to Gu Xingyan through Shouye's mouth."

He chuckled, "I just predicted his prediction."

Gu Xingyan, let’s see who wins and who loses between the two of us in the end!

Chen Tinghua and Gu Xingyuan looked at each other and said, "Uncle is saying that everything I said to my cousin Shouye yesterday was a lie?"

"Of course it's fake. Don't worry, Your Highness. I have other arrangements to deal with Gu Xingyan."

"Yes, A Yuan trusts uncle. By the way, yesterday Gu Xingcheng proposed that women serve as officials in the court. What do you think, uncle?"

Chen Shihui's eyes were deep: "We must make good use of this matter. But I don't have any ideas yet, so I need to think about it carefully."

Gu Xingyuan and Chen Tinghua looked at each other and knew that this matter could not be rushed. The Ministry of Rites was still drafting the regulations. Only after seeing the regulations could they prescribe the right medicine.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. It is not a trivial matter for a woman to serve as an official in the court or a general in the army. It is not easy to accomplish. You can first find a few senior officials with lower ranks but more experience to do this."

He smiled coldly: "The old guys in the Censorate are very good."

Seeing that his son was so weak and still had to worry about these things, Chen Tinghua hurriedly said, "Okay, I'll have someone go and tell them about this. Don't overwork yourself. There are some things that can be taught to the one who keeps the business, so let him do it. He's almost thirty years old, and he's been idle all day, not doing anything serious."

Chen Shihui chuckled and looked at Chen Tinghua, "Father, Shouye is useless. You should pick one of my second brother's children and teach him well. Let's not bother with that idea. It's useless. You've seen it all over the years. If the foundation of General Chen's Mansion is handed over to Shouye, he won't be able to keep it."

It’s a pity that he named him “Chen Shouye”.

Due to his poor health, Chen Shihui had one wife, three concubines, and two maids, but he only had one son, Chen Shouye, and no illegitimate sons or daughters.

Chen Tinghua's second son has two sons and three daughters. The eldest son is good at martial arts, and the second son is somewhat like his uncle and is a good student.

Chen Tinghua clenched his fists on his knees and sighed deeply. He had brought up Chen Shouye and had spent so much effort on him over the years. It was a pity that he was almost thirty years old and had accomplished nothing. He was really hopeless.

It's time to consider changing someone.

He is old, how many years can he maintain the glory of the Chen family?

Now it is Gu Xingcheng who sits on the throne. Chen Shouye is not even as good as one toe of the two brothers. How can he protect the entire Chen family?

Chen Tinghua's face was full of regret: "If you hadn't insisted on marrying the merchant girl from the Yuan family, how could you have given birth to a son like Shouye? With such a small family, what future could a child raised by her have? After all, she is short-sighted and has ruined a good child. Oh!"

Chen Shihui's face darkened. He hated it most that his father always looked down on his wife.

"Father, why are you still talking about this now? If it weren't for the Yuan family, those people..." He glanced at Gu Xingyuan, "Decades have passed. It's meaningless for father to still worry about this. It's better to think about who to pick from the second house."

Chen Tinghua knew that his eldest son was very protective of the Yuan family and would get angry with him whenever the matter was mentioned.

Gu Xingyuan said calmly: "Merchants also have their own advantages. Grandfather, let's not mention this matter anymore."

When Chen Shihui proposed to marry the merchant daughter of the Yuan family, he was attracted by her wealth.

Only my grandfather would want to use other people's money but look down on the smell of money.

"Your Highness, please pay more attention to your mother these days. He must feel bad for having killed Song Yafeng with his own hands." Chen Tinghua had to change the subject.

Gu Xingyuan nodded indifferently. She was just a mistress, so he could just kill her. She was not worthy of his grandfather's attention.

Chen Shouye came in hurriedly from outside. When he reached the study, he saw his father was there too. His face changed immediately.

Chen Shouye had always been afraid of his frail father, a civil official, so he quickly stopped and saluted to the few people. He then said, "I just received news that Shu Wenbo left in a hurry some time ago to pick someone up at Moushan. It seems that there was a daughter adopted by Duke Shu eighteen years ago who has now returned to learn skills and is preparing to be included in the Shu family tree."

"Eighteen years ago?" Chen Shihui always felt that there was something going on, but he had no recollection of what happened eighteen years ago.

He immediately shouted outside.

The next moment, a dark figure knelt on one knee in front of Chen Shihui: "Master."

"Go check the adopted daughter that Duke Shu adopted eighteen years ago."

"Yes." The black shadow disappeared in a flash.

Chen Shouye poked his head out to look for it: "My dear, father, why don't you give me this secret guard?"

Chen Shihui glanced at him coldly: "What else do you want?"

Chen Shouye rubbed his hands and said, "What's the point of investigating a girl? Shu Wenbo can't be kept alive. Do you want to arrange for someone to kill him? Grandfather, give me thirty or fifty people, and I promise to bring you Shu Wenbo's head."

Chen Shihui glanced at him coldly: "You don't know your own limitations."

"How have I overestimated my own abilities? Father, why do you always look down on me?" Chen Shouye squatted on the threshold angrily.

"Do you know who accompanied him all the way from Tongzhou to Sijiucheng?" Chen Tinghua asked.

"There are only 20 to 30 guards, and they brought two women with them. One of the two women is wearing red clothes and looks very charming. She is obviously a prostitute. The other one has been wearing a veil, but her figure is charming and her face must be stunning. There is no doubt that she must be Shu Wenbo's lover in Northern Jin."

Chen Shouye showed a lewd smile on his face: "Tsk tsk, the son of the Shu family is really romantic. He never forgets to bring two confidantes with him when he goes out. I heard that he also brought these two women with him when he went to Moushan. Hehe, wait for me to lead my men to kill them and capture them first. Let's see whether the Shu family's romantic saint wants beauties or his life."

"You're a good-for-nothing, with your mind full of alcohol and sex!" Chen Shihui cursed coldly.

"Heh." Gu Xingyuan sneered, "Cousin, have you forgotten what the assassins we sent from Tongzhou to Sijiu City said when they came back? Do you think those two women are just ordinary women?"

"Is not it?"

"Of course not. Their martial arts skills are no worse than yours. Especially the woman in moon-white clothes with a veil on her face. Our people reported that her martial arts skills are so high that we can't even get close to her, let alone take off the veil on her face. Can you capture such a woman alive?"

Chen Tinghua glanced at Chen Shouye and said, "Be careful of that girl from Moushan too. Don't forget who is on Moushan."

When they thought of the old monk with white beard, they were instinctively frightened.
