As a genius, I am the weakest in my family?

"Do you know why I agreed to marry Xining to you?"

Walking on the quiet corridor, Old Lady Yu suddenly asked.

Chen Zhian was slightly stunned.

According to the original owner's thinking, this question is very simple. It is naturally because I am gifted, have extraordinary qualifications, and have a bright future...

But after all, Chen Zhian is no longer the young marquis he used to be.

After a moment's silence, he said calmly, "Yesterday, it was Qian Sangao who said a new brothel had opened on Baihu Street, Yang Laoer saw through Xining's disguise, and finally Wei Laosan pushed me. This is a conspiracy!"

"It's not hopeless!"

Old Lady Yu nodded slightly and continued to ask, "Anything else?"

Chen Zhian raised his eyebrows slightly.

Hesitating whether to speak.

Of course, there is more to this than just that.

It's just that some of the words are not very pleasant to hear.

"My Xibohou Mansion may seem to be favored by the emperor, but it is just a candle in the wind. We are all widows. Once I close my eyes, we will be extinguished by the wind."

Old Lady Yu's face was calm, but her words revealed a sense of decline and desolation: "If you marry Xining, it would be like marrying the entire Marquisate...

There is no need to hide.

I want to know what you really think!"

"Then Zhian just speaks directly."

Chen Zhian said slowly: "This conspiracy has never been aimed only at my Chenliu Marquis Mansion, but also at Xibo Marquis Mansion!"

Old Lady Yu's expression remained unchanged as she motioned for him to continue.

Chen Zhian helped her sit on the stone bench on the corridor bridge and said softly, "The Wei family in Hejian wants to wipe out the whole family, but the threshold of the Xibohou Mansion is too high. In this case, we can only cut down the threshold.

If you hadn't come to the palace overnight and Your Majesty hadn't mediated, I'm afraid the person who came to propose marriage today...

It’s not me, Chen Zhian.

But it was Wei Zi who presented it.

With a princess of Xining whose reputation has been completely ruined, and Aunt Wei's full support, it is no longer out of reach for Wei Lao San to marry into the Marquis's mansion or even be married in a formal ceremony."

A hint of surprise flashed across Old Lady Yu's eyes.

If these words were spoken by someone else, she would not be surprised at all. Many people in Chang'an City could smell the scent of this stupid conspiracy.

But it was a little unbelievable when it came out of the mouth of such a notorious playboy.

Who doesn’t know Chang’an City?

Chenliu Marquis's Mansion is full of useless people?

Chen Aman, who couldn't even keep his hereditary throne,

A nerd with no spiritual qualifications,

A useless person whose road to repairing is completely cut off.

There is also a cultivator who claims to be a rare idiot in a century...

The reputation of "tiger master, dog son, rat grandson" is not something that came into being overnight.

Looking at the young man in a green shirt that reached the ground and with a leisurely demeanor, Old Lady Yu suddenly felt that the Chenliu Marquis Mansion might not be that simple.

At least the Chen Zhian in front of him is definitely not a fool in his words and deeds.

long silence.

She said, “If that’s the case, why didn’t Chen A-man do anything?

Are you so willing to be used as a tool by others?"

"Because the Hejian Wei family...

It’s just a gun!”

Chen Zhian said jokingly, "You may not know that Minister Yang is the prince's man, and so is Qian Sangao."

As soon as these words came out, Old Lady Yu’s pupils shrank slightly.

Minister Yang of the Ministry of Revenue has contradicted the Crown Prince more than once, and everyone says that he is a lackey of the Fourth Prince Li Chengbang. It turns out that he is the Crown Prince's man?

How did Chen Zhian know this secret?

and!

Chenliu Hou is a fool, is there any need to target him like this?

She was somewhat suspicious whether this little thief was just making up stories to flatter himself.

See this.

Chen Zhian did not explain. He also heard about the matter of Minister Yang of the Ministry of Revenue from Li Chengan.

The third prince, Li Cheng'an, was born out of wedlock and his aptitude for cultivation was very average, so there was no possibility for him to inherit the throne.

She moved out of the palace early and spent all her time in brothels, where she and Chen Zhian were in cahoots and had nothing in common.

Treat each other as close friends.

He can be described as the number one playboy in the world, with a reputation even worse than Chen Zhian.

As for why the prince targeted Chenliu Hou Mansion, Chen Zhian actually had no idea, and could only blame it on Li Chengding's crazy behavior.

"Come on, I'll take you to see someone."

After a long silence, Old Lady Yu stood up and walked towards the inner house.

Chen Zhian felt a little bit excited.

The original owner was so drunk yesterday that he felt dizzy and only thought that the girl on the street was very pretty. Then Wei Laosan kicked her into Xining's arms.

I didn't look closely at all.

After crossing a long corridor, Chen Zhian realized something was wrong. This was not the way to the young lady's boudoir...

Walk to a rockery.

Old Lady Yu stopped.

The crutch tapped lightly on a protruding rock, and the rockery suddenly and silently separated, revealing a narrow path.

The old lady walked into the alley without saying a word.

Chen Zhian hesitated for a moment, then walked in with his head down.

Just entered the narrow passage.

Immediately a low groan of pain was heard.

Chen Zhian looked up...

I saw a man covered in blood hanging in a stone prison not far away.

The face is vaguely visible.

He turned out to be the third son of the Wei family in Hejian.

My friends who played together at Qinglefang yesterday...

Seeing Chen Zhian and Old Lady Yu appear together, the old woman stopped the whip covered with barbs in her hand and retreated quietly into the darkness.

Wei Laosan's expression became extremely complicated.

“I didn’t expect…

I have been planning for many days, but all I have done is to make wedding clothes for you, a fool!"

Chen Zhian ignored him.

In my heart, I couldn't help but look up to this old lady who was about to die.

Although the Hejian Wei family had a poor origin, their ancestor was a eunuch of the previous dynasty.

But in recent years, they have done huge business and controlled many industries in Hejian.

Legend has it that Wei Zhongli, the head of the Wei family, has even reached the Tongxuan realm. His cultivation is quite impressive and he can be called a minor master.

As the youngest son of Wei Zhongli, Wei Laosan was very favored and was always accompanied by a protector in the Huaxu realm.

When we were playing together in the past, Wei Laosan often shouted it out to show off.

And now.

Wei Lao San was unexpectedly captured by this old lady without making any noise...

"I'm handing this person over to you. Whether he lives or dies is entirely up to you!"

Old Lady Yu glanced at Wei Laosan, closed her eyes and sat aside pretending to be asleep, appearing very indifferent.

In terms of closeness, the Wei family and the Xibohou Mansion are very close.

Wei Zhongli's biological sister was the second wife of Xibohou Mansion, Wei.

When he was a child, Wei Laosan often went to Xibohou Mansion to play. He was smart and well-behaved, and knew how to please the old lady.

It's just that things change.

The guest in the hall in the past, now a prisoner...

Chen Zhian raised his eyebrows slightly, knowing that this was a test from the old lady.

Picking up a red-hot iron rod from the stove, Chen Zhian walked up to Wei Laosan and said with a faint smile: "Zixian, I should actually thank you!"

"You should thank me."

Wei Laosan's face was full of sarcasm: "If it weren't for me, how could a pig-like idiot like you reach Xining?"

"I planned everything, but I didn't expect that the old woman would become more and more timid as she got older, and she wouldn't even dare to kill a piece of trash.

I never expected that His Majesty would act as a matchmaker for a pig like you.

One wrong move and the whole game is lost..."

As he spoke, Wei Lao San suddenly pounced on Old Lady Yu, and said with a ferocious face: "Old witch, your insidiousness, viciousness, and decisiveness in killing, are you going to bury your short-lived ghost son with you? Ah!"

"Snapped!"

Chen Zhian slapped him back with his backhand.

Putting his foot on Wei Laosan's chest, Chen Zhian winked at him and said, "Zixian, you don't have to die, don't kill yourself.

The old lady has already said that whether you live or die is up to me, so why do you want to die? Think about the relationship between us..."

Hearing this, Wei Laosan was stunned.

The reason why he was so crazy, besides resentment, was actually more of fear.

The old witch is vicious and a life in her hands is worse than death.

But if it falls into Chen Zhian's hands...

Thinking of this idiot's adorable past, he couldn't help but feel some hope.

Seeing this, Chen Zhian continued: "Zixian, we are half-brothers, although you plotted to harm me yesterday, I didn't suffer any loss.

On the contrary, it was a blessing in disguise that I got engaged to Xining. So, not only can I not kill you, but I should thank you instead!"

"Zhi An, do you really think so?"

Wei Laosan was somewhat tempted.

But Chen Zhian sighed and said, "Zixian, do you know? My Chenliu Marquis's Mansion is out of food...

Yesterday, in order to save me, Chen A'man donated all the remaining three thousand taels of silver in her family to the traitor Wang Fugui.

As long as you are willing to pay the ransom, I can let you go."

Wei Laosan was silent.

He was quite familiar with the situation in Chenliu Marquis' Mansion.

They are a bunch of useless people and are not good at management. They have reached the point where they can barely make ends meet.

I know Chen Zhian is not trying to gain sympathy.

He always felt that the idea of redeeming oneself simply by paying money was not credible.

Turning around to look at the old lady sitting next to him, he saw that her face was gloomy, but she did not scold Chen Zhian.

I couldn't help but believe it a little.

Then he thought that it was probably because his father had entered the Tongxuan realm that the old witch became afraid of him. The so-called paying money to redeem himself was just an excuse to save face!

Thinking of this.

He thought he had seen through the truth and suddenly stood up.

He sat down calmly and asked coldly, "How much do you want?"

Chen Zhian showed a delighted look on his face and said quickly, "Eight thousand taels of silver, hand over the money and the person at the same time!"

"Get out!"

Wei Laosan felt a little disgusted.

The Chenliu Marquis's Mansion was truly in decline.

I, the third young master of Hejian, am only worth eight thousand taels?

This little money.

It was not enough for him to visit the brothels in Chang'an for a year.
