Quick Wear: I'm Really Not a Scumbag

Chapter 38: The "Bad Man" in the Imperial Examination (17)

Wang Chufen looked at the assassin leader with sharp eyes, "I've done you a lot of good things over the years, and now you're even hesitant to do this little thing."

The killer still had no expression on his face. "That is the benefit we deserve. It doesn't matter which organization you go to. This matter involves the leader of the martial arts world. If you can find someone to do it for you, it means you are capable. Our cooperation ends here. You don't need to contact us again in the future." After saying this, the killer left without waiting for her reaction.

"You!" Wang Chufen had obviously never met anyone so rude to her.

That damn girl was actually connected to the leader of the martial arts world. Would they find out that she was the one who did it? This was a little frightening for her, but it was obvious that this matter could only end here, and she even had to find a way to conceal it.

"Go sweep that tail clean."

"Yes, ma'am." This person was none other than the secret guard raised by the Wang family. Top families all had such people, but they were not allowed to do many things that were open to the public. Otherwise, if they left any traces, they would be in an irretrievable situation.

Looking at Chen Xingjian and Chen Xingchuan in the hall, and even his two younger brothers Chen Huaian and Chen Huaize were there, he didn't know what accident had happened.

"Father, second uncle." Chen Xuyan saluted.

"Brother." The two younger brothers are also polite.

"Sit down. I have something to discuss today, and it's high time you all knew about it."

Chen Xingchuan was not as strict as Chen Xingjian. He looked at Chen Xuyan encouragingly, signaling him not to be too nervous.

"I asked you to come here today to inform you of something."

"The Concubine Wang is pregnant."

Chen Huaian was a loudmouth. "Hasn't she only been in the palace for half a year? She's already pregnant? No, why would we send our daughter back to the palace if she's pregnant?"

Chen Xingchuan smiled. "Her pregnancy is still young, so it's not time to make it public yet, but the Wang family is clearly impatient. Those who are about to be sent to the palace are probably also trying to consolidate their favor."

"But the old emperor has so many children, how could he put this little one, whose gender is not even known, in the highest position?" Chen Huaian still didn't understand.

"Besides, will the prince agree?" Chen Huaize muttered in a low voice.

"As long as it's a boy, the Wang family will definitely depose the prince." Chen Xingjian said with certainty.

"The world is going to be in chaos, why not let her give birth?" Chen Xingchuan felt that this was not a bad idea and would solve the problem once and for all.

Chen Xingjian shook his head. "As long as the Wang family has this intention, they will never give up. Even if there is no Concubine Wang, there will be other Concubine Wang."

"This emperor is really out of his mind." Chen Huaize was a little angry.

Chen Xuyan disagreed. "He might not be completely unaware. He might be trying to use the Wang family's influence to watch us fight among ourselves. Just like now, the other families must be thinking the same thing as us, thinking that the Wang family is acting recklessly."

Chen Xingjian stroked his beard and nodded, "You are right."

"Brother, you are still the smartest." Chen Huaian couldn't help but sigh.

"What should we do now?" Chen Xingchuan looked at his nephew.

Chen Xuyan thought for a while and said, "Let's wait and see. There are so many people watching the Wang family right now that adding one more of us won't be of any use. But we must keep a close eye on the movements of the Wang family's side branches and married-out daughters. I'm afraid they are the ones who will make big moves."

The Wang family's brainwashing was quite powerful, so these side branches or those who had already married out greatly respected and trusted the Wang family, putting the Wang family first in everything, and Wang Chufen was no exception. However, if a Jurchen woman who married out did something bad, it would probably not only implicate the Wang family, but also drag down many others.

"In addition to this, we must also warn the other families not to act rashly against the palace. I'm afraid the old emperor is waiting to take action, so we can kill two birds with one stone." By then, not only will the Wang family suffer, but they will also be put in front of the people of the world to let them see clearly what the aristocratic families have done, and even the emperor is in their control.

By then, no matter what happens, I'm afraid that what the royal family did will be blamed on them.

"Yeah, it would be troublesome if I got blamed." Chen Xingchuan nodded.

"Just do as you say." Chen Xingjian did not object.

Chen Xingjian waved his hand and a man walked out from the dark. "Keep a close eye on the madam. Things sent from the palace must be carefully watched first and not discovered by her. The same goes for those who marry into side branches. For the rest of the matters, do as the eldest young master says." Chen Xingjian first instructed the secret guard.

"Yes, master." The secret guard retreated like the wind.

"As for the remaining few, you and Huaize can go and notify them together." Chen Xingchuan said.

"Dad, I want to go too." Chen Huaian was eager to try. He was unwilling to let everyone else go and leave him alone at home idle.

My brothers have all gone, so I want to go too.

"Let him go too." Chen Xingjian said.

Before Chen Xingchuan could refuse again, Chen Huaian quickly spoke, "Thank you, uncle."

"You little bastard." Chen Xingchuan glared at him.

"Then I'll leave these two guys to you, Xiao Yan. If they don't do their job well, send them back as soon as possible and don't let them delay things."

"You're too kind, Uncle."

"Let's go quickly." Chen Huaian ran directly to Chen Xuyan's side.

Chen Xuyan found it a little funny.

"Come back here." Chen Huaize pulled him back.

"Don't be anxious. Wait until the housekeeper prepares some gifts before setting off." Chen Xuyan took a sip of tea.

"Forget it, let's go and pick some." Seeing Chen Xingchuan frowning, he was afraid that this kid would be in trouble.

"it is good."

After the three of them saluted, they went to the warehouse.

"Look at these two in my family. They are far inferior to Xiaoyan." Chen Xingchuan sighed.

"It's still early, just a few more years of hard work will be enough." Although he said that, Chen Xingjian clearly agreed. When Chen Xuyan was this old, he was already very calm and capable of taking on responsibilities, unlike these two who were so jumpy.

"I hope so."

And the Xie family at this time.

Xie Baiyu, who spoke a lot in one breath, was obviously a little thirsty and drank a pot of water in one breath.

"Mrs. Chen and Mr. Chen are such good people, even kinder than the wife of the village head." Mother Xie couldn't help but sigh.

"Mom, how can you, forget it." How can you compare a wealthy family with the wife of the village headman?

"I can tell at first glance that Mr. Chen is no ordinary man. He has never looked down on country folk like us!" Every time he comes over, he calls her sister-in-law. Sister Xie feels very happy to hear that.

"Yes, he must have eaten expensive food at home. He came to our place for dinner several times, and he never looked down on us when he came to our village before. Let's not talk about anything else, just say that the petty officials in our village all look down on people with their heads held high." Brother Xie felt a little angry when he remembered that he was mistaken for a beggar when he went to pick up his younger brother.

"You have to treat them well. Next time you come, you must stay and we will buy more good food." Xie's mother advised.

"What to do with these things?"

"Or, let's just take it."

"I'll repay the favor slowly later." The Xie family was also happy to repay this favor.
