A great emperor master every day—the good-for-nothing young master is having a blast!

Old Chen felt guilty; during the six years he had been in seclusion, his third son's family had clearly not had an easy time.

"If that third kid were still alive..."

The thought of Chen Chu was like a knife twisting in her heart, and a look of sorrow appeared on her wrinkled old face.

Suddenly, Old Chen remembered something else and asked, "Eldest brother, how is Xinying's illness lately?"

Before he went into seclusion, Luan Xinying was already seriously ill, and no amount of treatment could cure her.

Six years have passed, and Luan Xinying's condition must be much worse than before.

His beloved youngest son, Chen Chuying, died young. Now that he has emerged from seclusion, he must protect this poor mother and son.

"Third sister-in-law... Third sister-in-law has fully recovered."

Chen Zhaowu spoke with some uncertainty. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that his third sister-in-law, who had been seriously ill for more than ten years, would be so energetic.

Such an unexpected statement was hard for Old Chen to believe for a moment.

Turning to Chen Yu, she asked again, "Is what your older brother said true?"

Chen Yu immediately replied, "Father, it's absolutely true!"

He went to Chen Yue’s residence with Chen Zhaowu. Luan Xinying looked so energetic that she didn’t seem like someone who had been ill for a long time.

After receiving Chen Yu's reply, Old Chen became somewhat skeptical about Luan Xinying's matter.

We'll have to see for ourselves to know the real situation.

"Eldest brother, second brother, come with me to visit the third brother's house."

Chen Zhaowu and Chen Yu exchanged a glance, their expressions darkening.

If my father saw that dilapidated old house, we'd be doomed.

Chen Yu was extremely conflicted and wanted nothing more than to give his older brother a good scolding.

If it weren't for his extremely selfish motives, such as driving Chen Yue and his mother to that dilapidated house after Chen Chu fell seriously ill, none of this would have happened.

The reason Gao Fu dared to do such a thing was ultimately because Chen Zhaowu disliked Chen Yue's family.

Only then did she dare to muster the courage to do such heinous things.

Chen Zhaowu deliberately mustered his courage and retorted, "Father, it's getting late today, why don't we go tomorrow?"

Old Chen flatly refused, "What? You don't want to go with this old man? Then this old man will go by himself!"

How late could it be? Old Master Chen had just emerged from seclusion and was eager to see his third daughter-in-law, who had recovered from her illness, and his grandson, Chen Yue, who had broken through to the Condensation Realm at a young age.

Knowing his father's stubborn nature, Chen Yu chimed in, "Father, if my elder brother won't go, I'll take you."

Old Chen then laughed and said, "The second son is still the most filial to this old man. You, the eldest son, are acting all high and mighty even though you're the head of the family."

Chen Zhaowu felt bitter, but he dared not say it and could only sigh.

“I’ll go with you.”

Following his memory from a few years ago, Old Chen walked toward a magnificent mansion.

“Father, my third brother’s wife and her family no longer live here.”

Chen Zhaowu was sweating profusely and trembling with nervousness.

Even after being the head of the Chen family for decades, he was still afraid of his biological father.

"I'm not staying here anymore. Isn't this grand hall nice enough?"

With a skeptical attitude, Old Chen followed the two brothers to Chen Yue's current residence.

Chen Zhaowu walked ahead, feeling his steps grow heavier with each step, as if he would freeze in place at any moment.

After walking along a narrow, overgrown path, you soon come to a dilapidated old house.

Old Chen was immediately enraged and shouted at the two men, "Why do you live in such a dilapidated place, Third Brother's wife?"

"What kind of elder brothers are you? Doesn't the Chen family even have a decent place to stay?!"

The two lowered their heads in shame, enduring the old man's angry scolding.

Su Yi first heard the shouting and cursing outside the door, and hurriedly went to find Xiao Xuan who lived in the next room.

"Sister Xiaoxuan, did you hear a strange sound?"

Xiaoxuan's room was a little far from the courtyard gate. She had just heard some noise, but she didn't pay any attention to it.

Su Yi came to the door, and the two went out into the courtyard to listen to the movements outside.

"Would you like to live in this dilapidated courtyard?"

"I think the servants of the Chen family live better than the third son's family."

"Big brother, I know you've been jealous of third brother since we were kids, but you can't do something like this!"

"As the head of the family, you don't even have this much magnanimity. You've really wasted your time."

Old Chen pointed at Chen Zhaowu and launched into another tirade of angry words, leaving Chen Zhaowu speechless and unable to utter a sound of anger.

The once-powerful head of the Chen family is now cowering and being verbally abused.

"Who is it? Who's making noise at the door?" Xiaoxuan muttered softly.

Su Yi was undecided and dared not open the courtyard gate to check.

He had no choice but to knock on Luan Xinying's door. "Madam, there's a fight going on outside."

The chill in the room dissipated and returned to Luan Xinying's body.

Upon hearing Su Yi's words, Luan Xinying slowly opened her eyes.

The moment Su Yi pushed open the door, she was shivering from the blast of cold air.

"Madam, listen quickly."

Luan Xinying walked into the courtyard and listened quietly to the sounds outside.

"You'll see, eldest brother, you'll have to move the third son's family to this run-down place!"

Old Chen gave him a scolding and was just about to knock on the door.

The dilapidated courtyard gate slowly opened.

"Xinying, my little girl."

"Father... Father, it really is you."

Luan Xinying heard the voice outside the door and it sounded very familiar.

When she opened the door, it really was her father, whom she hadn't seen for several years.

"Father, please come in!"

Luan Xinying gestured for Old Chen to come in.

"Xiao Yi, go and make a pot of tea."

"Yes, ma'am!"

Having not seen each other for many years, both of them were filled with indescribable excitement.

As soon as Old Chen stepped through the door, Chen Zhaowu and Chen Yu tried to follow.

"Please wait a moment, gentlemen." Xiao Xuan blocked the doorway, preventing the two from taking another step. "Madam, may these two people come in?"

Luan Xinying glanced at it and said disdainfully, "Why are you coming in? Just stand outside!"

"understand!"

With a snap, Xiaoxuan slammed the courtyard gate shut without any hesitation.

"Brother..."

"Don't speak, just wait quietly for Father to come out."

Old Chen walked into the courtyard, looked around at the surroundings, and cursed Chen Zhaowu in his heart again.

"That damn boss!"

After entering the house and sitting down, Su Yi picked up the teapot and poured two cups of hot tea.

Chen Yue, who was still resting inside, heard the noise outside the door and opened it to go out.

Upon entering the lobby, I saw the back of an elderly man, and the more I looked, the more familiar he seemed.

"I never imagined that this old man would be in seclusion for six years."

"You've suffered these past few years."

Old Chen looked at Luan Xinying, his tone filled with shame.

Chen Yue slowly walked into the hall and came to see the old man's face clearly.

After hesitating for a moment, he uttered those two unfamiliar words, "Grandpa?"

Chen Yue was quite surprised. How could the Chen family patriarch, who had disappeared for more than six years, appear in the mansion at night?

Upon hearing this, Old Chen suddenly looked up at the boy who had spoken.

That handsome face was just like Chen Chu when he was young, which made Old Chen feel a little dazed.

Upon their first meeting after leaving the country, Mr. Chen explained to the two the reason for his six-year disappearance.

He then recounted what he had learned from Chen Zhaowu about Chen Yue's experiences over the years.

"Yue'er, Chen Ming brought this upon himself. You killed him, and Grandpa won't blame you."
