Chen Yunyou strode to his wife's side and handed the wooden box in his hand to her.

Song Xile took the wooden box and picked up the translucent jade pendant, only to feel it was warm and cool to the touch.

Even though Song Xile didn't know much about jade, he knew it was a top-quality jade pendant.

She took another closer look at the jade pendant and saw the word "Thank you" on it. It must be this jade pendant!

She nodded to her husband.

Chen Yunyou understood and said bluntly: "Let's go!"

Just as Chen Yunyou was about to turn around and leave, Old Man Chen called him urgently, "Yunyou..."

He stared at his son with his eyes fixed, his lips trembling as if he wanted to say something.

After seeing his son's calm eyes, he finally swallowed Xie'en's words.

He had no feelings of admiration for his father, and instead had accumulated a lot of resentment over the years.

He really regretted that he should have taken better care of him if he had known this would happen.

Chen Yunyou looked calmly at Mr. Chen who was hesitant to speak, and said lightly: "I will not send Chen Shuanzi to the government office!"

After saying that, he took his wife out of the main hall.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Chen didn't know whether he was happy or sad, but he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But it was too early for him to be happy. If he knew what this rebellious son did after he left home, he would probably eat him alive!

Chen Yunyou walked out of the yard without even looking at the pale-faced eldest brother and others. He went straight to his second brother Chen Yunye.

He said bluntly, "Thank you for taking care of me, second brother. I am leaving now. Before I leave, I can ask the clan leader for you to separate and live separately, or I can hand Chen Shuanzi over to you and you can decide for yourself. What do you want to do?"

Liu's face changed drastically when she heard this. This rebellious son wanted to hand over the evidence of herself and her husband to the illegitimate son.

Wouldn't they also be controlled at home?

Liu's face turned pale as she stepped forward. "What do you mean? Even if we are not your biological parents, we have raised you after all. It would be fine if you don't repay your family, but you are still thinking of instigating them?"

"Do you have to make your family miserable before you stop?"

Chen Yunyou looked back with cold eyes, "Who is making this family restless? Who is it?"

"As the old saying goes, 'A loving mother's son is filial'. Do you think you are a loving mother? You only see your own gains and losses! Have you ever really cared about other children in your family?"

Liu was so angry and annoyed by him that she didn't know how to refute for a moment. She just trembled her fingers and said, "You...you..."

Chen Yunyou was too lazy to argue with him anymore, and looked at Chen Yunye again, "Second brother, what do you want to do?"

Wang's face turned red with excitement. In this family, their branch always had to act according to the eldest wife's mood.

She could foresee that even if the family was divided in the future, they would definitely not get any property.

But now it’s different. The third brother has the leverage over the eldest wife. As long as he wants, it’s possible to divide the family property equally!

When she thought of this, Wang felt her heart burning with joy.

She excitedly tugged at her husband's sleeve, signaling him to reply quickly.

Chen Yunye came back to his senses, paused and said: "My parents are still alive, and it's not easy for their children to split up the family, so I'll choose the second option!"

Unlike his wife who wanted to divide the family property directly, Chen Yunye had another consideration in mind.

He didn't want to split up the family. On the one hand, once the family was split up, all the taxes and labor service would have to be borne by him alone. On the other hand, under traditional thinking, he didn't want to offend the eldest wife so much that the two sides would never have any contact with each other again.

After all, he has a nephew who is taking the imperial examination. As long as he can pass the exam in the future, he will also benefit.

Instead of just getting some land now, it is better to have the leverage in hand so that they can be a little more cautious. The benefits are far greater than directly dividing the land!

Chen Yunyou nodded and said, "In that case, I will take the people back first. When my second brother chooses a resettlement location, I will go and pick them up!" After that, he led the people straight out of the mansion.

Chen Yunyou did this out of concern that Chen Yunye could not keep his people at bay at the moment.

Liu wanted to stop them from leaving, but she didn't dare to shout for help.

Because she felt guilty, she was afraid that if she pushed the man too far, he would do something desperate and tell her what she had done in the past.

I can only watch people leave.
