Chapter 203: Dead Husband, Raising a Child, and Escape from Famine 43

Master Cai also sat back down opposite him, took a bite of the mooncake filled with jujube paste, and casually talked about the incident that made him lose face today:

"I didn't expect that Mrs. Lin, a village woman, would have such insight."

Chen Luodan also agreed with this: "She took the initiative like that. Even if I am narrow-minded, I can't hold on to it anymore."

Although he had no intention of arguing with a few children under the age of 10.

"So..." Master Cai leaned forward, moved his old face closer, lowered his voice and whispered, "Master, don't you have that idea now?"

Chen Luodan was about to reach out to take the mung bean cake when he paused, his brows unconsciously frowned: "I didn't expect that you haven't given up yet?"

Old Cai curled his lips, threw the cookie away and stood up: "Master, don't forget, I am also from an aristocratic family. Of course, I understand that aristocratic families cannot participate in the succession of imperial power."

The foundation of the family is Confucian classics, and its essence is [scholars]

Mastering the classics means mastering the appointment of academic officials, and national policies and government affairs are also under the control of one's own family.

Since I have the government, land, and population in my hands, fiefdom, real power, population, taxes, and currency are just numbers, why should I bear the responsibilities that come with a puppet position?

I have power and control the steering wheel. I am a soldier with the goals and dignity of a soldier.

Why should we learn from some barbarians and become a usurper emperor who is despised by all eternity?

To put it bluntly, the emperor is just a profession needed by the dynasty. In the eyes of the major families, it is really nothing big.

Moreover, in troubled times, the self-preservation ability of the aristocratic families is many times stronger than that of the royal family. Their own circles are no worse than the imperial power, and there is no need to go to great lengths to get involved in those affairs.

Anyway, no matter who becomes the emperor, no one dares to touch them.

"But," Lao Cai looked out the window and unconsciously fell into some thoughts:

"I always feel that from ancient times to the present, nothing has ever been enduring and has never fallen. No matter how powerful a noble family is, sooner or later, they will disappear in the long river of history. I want to make some plans early."

Chen Luodan's expression has relaxed again: "In a few decades, you and I will both turn into dirt. Even if the aristocratic family declines, it will take at least a hundred years. You and I can't see it, so is there any need to worry about it in advance?"

Master Cai stared at me with red eyes and said sharply:

"All the aristocratic children have the same idea as you. They are obsessed with metaphysics all day long, and repeatedly emphasize naturalness and inaction. You must know that if you hold on to such escapist ideas, you will destroy yourself sooner or later."

Chen Luodan was amused by his unusually excited look: "Old Cai, you are not young anymore. It is not good for your health to have such big mood swings. If you accidentally get a stroke, then no one will help you to realize your grand plan."

Master Cai almost cursed, "I might have a stroke tonight because of you." He rarely beat around the bush and went straight to the point:

"This is such a great opportunity. The only two remaining men in the Prince of Liang's mansion are standing right in front of us. The people of Southern Liang admire the God of War to the extent that they do, and everyone has seen it. Is there anyone more suitable to be the emperor than these two?"

Seeing Chen Luodan remained silent, he paused for a moment and continued, "Now that the barbarians are invading, the Northern court is about to collapse. We have the best of both worlds. If we miss this opportunity, when the barbarians really change their dynasty, it will be too late to say anything."

Chen Luodan sneered: "Have you ever thought about this? If you help someone rebel and become emperor, will they listen to you? I don't believe you haven't figured out who is the real boss among them now."

"Hehe," Master Cai grinned wickedly, "She's a pretty widow whose husband just died. Even if you sacrifice yourself for her, it won't be too bad."

"Get out of here~" Chen Luodan's mouth twitched, he raised the teacup in his hand and threw it at his face: "Mrs. Lin is still pregnant, stop ruining your reputation here!"

Master Cai said indifferently: "I have seen countless girls from noble families marrying while pregnant. If you don't like the child in your belly, just give them the surname Qin."

"Don't mention this again, and don't say anything nonsense in front of Madam Lin. If you get beheaded for your bad mouth, I won't collect your body."

Chen Luodan waved his hands speechlessly: "Besides, in the eyes of others, I am just an old man in his forties. Why would Madam Lin like me? Is it just because my last name is Chen?"

Master Cai said in disbelief:

"With your status, if you want to marry, even the young lady from an aristocratic family who is still young at that time would be worthy of you. Not to mention the distant past, the new emperor's unmarried younger sister is still obsessed with you, isn't she? Lin Sheng is a village woman who has already given birth to a litter of children. Why would she be unwilling?"

Chen Luodan was too lazy to waste words with him. Old Cai always boasted that he was different from the average son of an aristocratic family, but deep down, didn't he still not regard women as human beings?

It was obvious that he wanted to take the initiative to form an alliance through marriage, but he ended up acting so superior and looking down on others.

He didn't know how other women would react, but as for Lin Sheng, it would be strange if he compromised. It would be a light punishment to give him two big cunts.

After Lao Cai slammed the door and walked away angrily, Chen Luodan hesitated for a long time, but still took out rice paper and picked up a pen, and simply wrote down all of Lao Cai's plans on it, emphasizing that she absolutely did not have any dirty thoughts in her mind, and everything would be based on her own wishes.

......

Lin Sheng noticed it as soon as someone approached the door.

[Host, the person coming is the servant of Chen Luodan.] Even at such a close distance, 803 can still see clearly.

[Why did he send a servant here in the middle of the night?] Before she even reached the door, the man outside left.

Lin Sheng bent down, picked up the letter that the servant had just stuffed in through the crack in the door, and began to read.

803 I was quite amused after watching it [Hahaha, this Chen Luodan is quite interesting. Isn't it said that men in ancient times didn't regard women as human beings? I think he is okay.]

Lin Sheng nodded. [It is indeed good. He is a son of an aristocratic family. It is rare for him to have such awareness.]

[Host, what do you think? Although Chen Luodan is a little old, he has a high status, good looks, and is still unmarried. Overall, it's not a loss.]

[You little brat, why are you like that old Cai, thinking about that useless thing.] She wasn't belittling herself, but with her current status, even if she was 10 years younger, she wouldn't be worthy of him.

If she really wants to be a lady of a rich family, then she will be dead soon. Her mission is to die of old age, so there is no need to cause trouble for herself.
