Dressed as a farmer's widow, she brought her daughter to stock up on food and reached the top

Chen Yonggui stood aside, his face gloomy, his hands unconsciously clenched into fists. Seeing his son being so familiar with an outsider, he felt like a huge stone was blocking his heart, and he felt very uncomfortable.

His brows were furrowed, his eyes gleaming with dissatisfaction and jealousy. He muttered to himself, "As a father, I'm not even as important as an outsider in my son's heart."

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, his chest heaving violently, but he couldn't lose his temper in front of everyone, so he could only suppress his anger, his face becoming increasingly uglier.

When his son finally finished crying to Wu Baixi about all the grievances he had suffered, he stood by with great anticipation, hoping his son would get close to him. For the first time, he wore a flattering smile, his eyes filled with longing.

However, what he waited for was his son walking towards him with a determined look on his face and saying, "Dad, I miss my uncle. I want to stay at my uncle's house for a few days." There was no hesitation in his son's eyes.

The smile on his face froze instantly, his eyes widening as he stared at his son in disbelief. His heart felt like it had been stabbed, aching uncontrollably. Didn't his son miss him?

"Why? Am I such a father that you don't want to get close to me?" He cried in his heart, but couldn't utter a word.

Chen Zexi looked at his father's nervous expression and secretly laughed in his heart. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, and a sly glint flashed in his eyes.

I thought to myself, the book Aunt Xiuying gave me, "After Rebirth, I Regained the Three Hundred Million Family Property," is really useful! My father has never been so nervous about me.

In the past, his father had always been too strict with him and not caring enough about him. But now, this trick actually made his father care so much about his thoughts and decisions. Chen Zexi couldn't help but feel grateful to Aunt Xiuying.

He deliberately remained silent for a while, and looking at his father's increasingly anxious expression, he slowly said, "Dad, don't be nervous. I just want to go to my uncle's house to relax." His tone was pretended to be relaxed, but his eyes were fixed on his father's reaction.

Chen Yonggui raised his broad palm and was about to place it on Chen Zexi's head, his eyes full of pity. His son had not grown taller or stronger during this period. No matter what, he had wronged his son.

Before his broad palm touched the son he missed day and night, he heard a sharp female voice.

"This is going to be outrageous!"

Concubine Liu got off the carriage and rushed into the yard, where she began to complain about Chen Zexi's disobedience. Her eyebrows were raised, her hands on her hips, and her face was full of anger.

"Master, look at this child. He has no manners at all. He leaves as soon as he says he will. Does he still care about this family? I am really worried about this family!" She glared at Chen Zexi fiercely, spitting everywhere.

If Chen Yonggui hadn't been here, he would have given this little bastard a good beating. Since he had already run away, why did he come back? He was deliberately trying to make things difficult for him.

Chen Zexi frowned, feeling extremely annoyed with this Concubine Liu. He secretly clenched his fists, but tried hard not to lose his temper.

Everyone was somewhat bewildered by Aunt Liu's sudden outburst. The air seemed to freeze instantly, and the atmosphere became tense.

Chen Yonggui regretted bringing Liu Ruyan with him a thousand times.

Chen Zexi recalled Xiuying's story of Goujian, the King of Yue, sleeping on firewood and tasting gall. He lifted his clothes and knelt down in front of Aunt Liu. He lowered his head, his eyes full of fear, and his body was trembling.

"Madam Liu, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have been so willful and shouldn't have made you angry. Please forgive me this time. I won't dare to do it again." Her voice was trembling, as if she was really scared.

At this moment, Aunt Liu panicked. She was originally furious and ready to teach Chen Zexi a lesson. With Chen Zexi's temper, he would definitely be dissatisfied and make a fuss.

Then she pretended to have a miscarriage, thinking that Chen Yonggui would definitely teach this bastard a lesson, but she didn't expect that he would suddenly kneel down and admit his mistake.

Isn't Chen Zexi telling everyone that he often punishes him?

Aunt Liu stood there at a loss, the anger on her face instantly replaced by panic.

"This...this...you kid, hurry up and get up. I...I didn't mean to embarrass you. I'm just worried about you."

Everyone around was looking at this scene in surprise. No one expected things to develop like this. Chen Zexi's father was also surprised and didn't know what to do for a moment.

On one side is his biological son, and on the other side is his childhood sweetheart. Liu Ruyan is also pregnant with his child. Even if Ruyan did something wrong, he cannot lose his temper here.

Wu Baixi, who was watching from the side, could no longer bear it. His face darkened, his brows furrowed, and he took a step forward to help Chen Zexi, who was kneeling on the ground, up. "She's just a concubine, and you dare to discipline the eldest son of the Chen family!"

His voice was majestic and cold, his eyes like torches, staring straight at Aunt Liu: "When did the rules of the Chen family become so chaotic that a concubine can yell at the eldest son!"

Aunt Liu was frightened by Wu Baixi's momentum and her face turned pale. Her lips trembled. She wanted to defend herself but dared not speak: "County... County Magistrate, I... I..."

Wu Baixi snorted coldly, "Hmph! I will definitely have a proper talk with Brother Chen about what happened today."

At this moment, Chen Zexi's father hurried forward, with an apologetic smile on his face, and bowed, "County Magistrate, please calm down. It is my fault for not managing my family well. I have embarrassed you."

Wu Boxi was an official after all, so Chen Yonggui had to give him some face.

He glanced at the servant, who hurriedly brought Xiuying's thank-you gift. The thank-you gift was five gold ingots that he had personally prepared. He had a smug look on his face. For the Chen family, this was nothing, but for someone like Xiuying, it was enough for her to eat and drink for a lifetime.

Chen Zexi looked at the five gold ingots and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

In his father's eyes, there was only money, and he was even perfunctory in preparing the thank-you gift.

Yang Xiuying frowned, looking at the five golden ingots in the box, and said seriously, "This is too valuable. I'm afraid I don't deserve it. I just fed this child for a few days.

Besides, he earned his food through his own labor and did not eat for free."

When Chen Yonggui heard Xiuying say this, he felt warm inside and waved his hands, but still pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Please don't refuse. This is a small token of our appreciation."

Yang Xiuying pretended to refuse, a look of embarrassment on her face, and said, "I can't do this. I can't do this."

How could I not want money? What I lacked was money. I had spent a lot of money on building a house some time ago. I thought to myself, if the money was delivered to my door, I should just accept it.
