Little did they know that ever since the eldest brother was deposed, the Chen family had lost contact with the palace, and their status in Licheng had declined several levels over the years.

As the future head of the Chen family, how could he not consider the Chen family?

Chen Jincai was still moved by his own behavior, but Mu Yunyao pointed at him with a look of disgust.

Instead of being a good person, you insist on offering yourself to be someone else's dog.

This is his own choice, what can Mu Yunyao say?

"Let's go, don't cause any trouble."

After giving these instructions, he walked out.

Mu Yunyao got on the carriage. Seeing this, Chen Jincai was about to climb up, but was stopped by Qingyun.

"Master, have you forgotten that the old lady doesn't like to ride with others?"

Chen Jincai originally wanted to scold him, thinking that this servant was too ignorant of the rules.

He is the head of the Chen family, how could he be an outsider?

But when he looked up and met Qingyun's eyes, he couldn't say anything.

This is the person closest to his mother, and he has been with her longer than he has lived.

If he dared to say anything scolding, he would go to the Buddhist temple to keep his wife company at night.

And the time of release is uncertain.

Chen Jincai swallowed his saliva and swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

Fortunately, the servant beside him had a good eye and stepped forward to speak.

"Master, I have asked someone to get the horses for you and the Second Young Master. They will be here soon."

Chen Jincai looked at him with satisfaction and said in a very pretentious manner.

"You have good eyesight. Go back and ask the butler for your reward."

The butler watched the old lady get into the car and turned back to the mansion. He didn't take Chen Jincai's words to heart at all.

When will the master of this family have the final say? The old lady is very particular about rewards and punishments.

If even doing something as trivial as leading the master's horse was rewarded, the Chen family would be in chaos.

The servant was very happy to hear this, and quickly bowed to Chen Jincai to thank him for the reward.

"Thank you, uncle. Thank you, uncle."

After that, Chen Jincai received another round of flattery, and the anger that had been accumulating in his heart was relieved a lot.

Mu Yunyao got on the carriage, and Qingyun told the driver to set off.

There was absolutely no intention of waiting for the father and son.

Chen Jincai saw the carriage going away and started to panic. He tried to chase it but was stopped by Chen Qingfeng.

"Father, the palace is right there. We can go there by ourselves. There's no need to go with grandma."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jincai rolled his eyes at him.

"Do you think the palace is a place where anyone can enter if they want?"

If they don’t follow the old lady, they can’t even get in the door, so how can they build relationships?

Originally, he was very satisfied with his son's nobleness, thinking that he was arrogant because of his ability.

In the future, he will definitely be as powerful as his brother and earn face for himself.

Now it seems that he is far behind the eldest son.

If his eldest son wasn't disabled now, he wouldn't even take this kid seriously.

Just when Chen Jin was about to get angry, the servant came up again.

"Calm down, sir. This carriage is moving slowly. You don't have to worry. You can catch up with it later."

After hearing this, Chen Jin calmed down his anger and said to the servant.

"It's better for you to come back and serve in my courtyard."

The servant was really delighted at this moment.

You have to know that there is a big difference between working in the mansion and working beside the master.

I never thought that he would have such good fortune one day.

Mu Yunyao's carriage had already gone far away, so she naturally didn't know what was happening here, but the news soon reached the ears of Chen Qinghui who was recuperating.

He put the book on the bedside, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

"My good father, as always, only listens to good words."

After saying that, he looked again at the person who was lowering his head to answer.

He gave him a dime and said, "Keep watching. If you have any news, just report it to me. You will get some benefits."

The man nodded immediately in response.

"Yes, eldest son."

After waving his hand to send the person away, he picked up the book on the bedside table and continued reading.

Since someone wants to help him, how can he not work hard and continue to be decadent?

The carriage stopped in front of the Southwest Palace. As soon as Mu Yunyao got off the car, she saw Chen Jincai's face full of flattering smile.

He was talking to the palace's doorman, and the way he nodded and bowed was so condescending that if someone didn't know him, they would have thought that the person he was talking to was some important figure.

There is no need to disgrace his identity as the head of the Chen family.

Qingyun curled her lips, helped Mu Yunyao out of the car, and then took the gold-embossed post to the doorman.

"My old lady came here as a guest at the invitation of Concubine Wu."

When the doorman saw the note in his hand, he realized that it was indeed for the concubine's courtyard, so he quickly asked someone to open the side door.

"Please come in, Madam Chen."

The main gate of the palace cannot be opened casually, and only distinguished guests can enter through the side door.

Chen Jincai followed Old Madam Chen and wanted to go in, but was stopped by the doorman.

"Master Chen, Concubine Wu invited the old lady. It's against the rules for you to do this."

The implication is that the concubine did not invite him and therefore could not let him into the palace.

Chen Jincai looked at his mother who had already gone in. He didn't dare to make a noise outside the palace and could only ask his mother for help.

Mu Yunyao gave Qingyun a look, and Qingyun immediately turned around and walked to the doorman and stuffed a piece of silver into his hand.

"My master is also worried about the old lady, so please be flexible and let the master and the second young master wait in a quiet place for a while."

The servant just thought that men were not allowed to enter the backyard, but he did not forbid them to enter the house and wait. Now that he received the reward, he immediately smiled and said.

"You are too polite, Ma'am. The eldest and second young master are very filial. Please follow me."

As he spoke, he stepped aside to make way for the person and led the person to a side hall in the outer courtyard where guests were received.

There is more than one such side hall in the palace, which is used to entertain unimportant guests.

Upon hearing this, Chen Jincai immediately smiled and said, "I dare not, I dare not, you're welcome, you're welcome."

His attitude was like that of a doorman in a palace, unattainable.

Mu Yunyao saw that they had already come in and ignored them.

Supported by Qingyun, he followed the maid from Concubine Wu's courtyard to the backyard of the palace.

Concubine Wu had something on her mind. She didn't sleep well the night before and now looked tired.

But even though he was not in good spirits, he still forced himself to invite the person in.

She also didn't dare to intimidate the old lady of the Chen family at this time.

Although she was a concubine in the palace, her foundation was still a little weak, otherwise, the old princess would not have looked down on her and been unwilling to give her the position of principal wife.

"Meet the Concubine."

Mu Yunyao performed a half-squat salute according to the rules.

"No need to be polite, old lady."

Concubine Wu responded in a weak voice, then glanced at her aunt beside her.

My aunt understood and took out an embroidered cushion.
