Li Shichen was a little confused by Chen's words. He looked at Chen in shock: "Mother, you...do you have a fever?" Li Shichen said, reaching out and touching Chen's forehead. Normal, nothing wrong at all.

Mrs. Chen pulled off Li Shichen's hand and said sternly: "You kid, I'll find a solution for you here, but you still think I'm sick!"

"Mother, you asked me to recognize someone else as my mother. Isn't this why I have a fever?" Li Shichen frowned and said seriously: "You are my mother, and I don't recognize anyone else."

"Then what do you mean?" Mrs. Chen frowned: "Do you mean you want to leave here and go to a distant place by yourself? Brother Chen, going out is not a simple matter. You have to make a lot of preparations before going out, and the most important thing is Silver, how much do you think I, a mother, can give you now?"

As Chen finished speaking, the expression on Li Shichen's face froze.

Indeed, if he didn't give away the money, he could take the money and fly away, but in the end the Duke's mansion would be in misery.

But what happened to the Duke's mansion had nothing to do with him.

But the days after that...

Li Shichen's initial regret was extinguished when he thought that his father would probably ask the government to issue a wanted order to arrest him.

Just calling someone mother is really not what he wants in his heart.

"But……"

"Brother Chen, I know you are filial, but what you have to do now is to save your life. As a mother, I can't protect you, so I have to find someone else to protect you. Do you understand?"

Ms. Chen was unwilling to let her son go, but what could she do?

If the Duke of Chen finds out about brother Chen's gambling, he will definitely be beaten to death this time.

Even if it was for the sake of the Duke's Mansion, she had to save Brother Chen.

Li Shichen nodded and said very reluctantly: "Then...whose mother should the son call?"

"Ji Wenyue." Chen said.

When Li Shichen heard this, he frowned subconsciously: "Isn't that person Xiu Niang?"

Mrs. Chen nodded: "Yes, that's the embroiderer. Your father likes her very much."

After a brief silence, Li Shichen said: "Mother, could that embroiderer be... the person my father liked when he was young?"

Chen sighed. Although he didn't speak, his eyes already told the answer.

Li Shichen gritted his teeth with a look of reluctance: "My son is such a waste. Not only can he not make his mother happy, but... he has even made her humiliated!"

"It's okay, I don't care for my mother." Mrs. Chen wiped her tears: "As long as you can be well, I am willing to die!"

When Li Shichen heard this, he hugged his mother and cried.

Under the bright lights, a big show of motherly kindness and sonly filial piety was being performed, but it was a pity that Gu Qingyuan couldn't see it.

If she could see it, she would definitely applaud the Li family. It turns out that someone really made it look like they were hurting others, as if she had been wronged a lot.

The next few days passed fairly uneventfully.

Jiaorui was reading and studying. At this time, she had no interest in fighting in the house. In addition, Li Shichen had been recuperating at Chen's place in the past few days, so she didn't even have time to deal with Li Shichen.

Tian Lei'er was also very obedient. After she witnessed Jiaorui's child being beaten alive, she no longer dared to act like a monster. At least during the period when she gave birth to the child, she didn't dare.

After all, she has a restless heart. If she settles down so easily, then she won't be her.

As for Gu Qingyuan, besides worrying about things in the shop every day, she did nothing else. After all, she was also injured and needed to rest.

The West Street shopkeepers have sorted out the accounts that Chen has made over the years and sent them all to Gu Qingyuan, but they are waiting for Gu Qingyuan to notify them to report to the official position.

During this period, some people also approached Chen, hoping to make up for the shortfall.

After all, if it really goes to the government, it will not look good to anyone. It would be best if it can be resolved privately.

But Mrs. Chen, who had promised well before, suddenly stopped admitting her fault, saying that the shop belonged to Gu Qingyuan and had nothing to do with her.

It was just a short sentence that came out of her mouth, but in fact, she was breaking up with the shopkeepers. As a result, all the problems had to be fought by the shopkeepers.

On this day, after Mrs. Chen sent those people away, she sat there drinking tea.

Chuntao, who had just finished giving Li Shichen the medicine, looked at Chen and asked worriedly: "Old madam, you just drove all those people away?"

"What if?" Mrs. Chen raised her eyes and glanced at Chuntao: "What? Do you sympathize with them? If you sympathize with them, will you make up for the loss?"

"The old lady is joking, where can I get the money?" Chuntao smiled and continued: "I'm just worried that if they don't see the money, they will go crazy."

"Crazy?" Mrs. Chen raised her eyebrows: "Why are you crazy? Don't forget, we are the Duke's Mansion here, what qualifications does he have to go crazy?"

Chuntao thought for a while and felt that there was some truth to it, and immediately smiled and said: "This servant is sloppy and forgot that we are officials and they are the people. How can the people fight against the officials?"

"It's good to know. How are you preparing for the blood test?" asked Ms. Chen.

Chuntao nodded: "Everything is ready, and the prince's health is fine. If the old lady is willing, we can start today."

When Mrs. Chen heard this, she immediately put down the tea cup in her hand and said seriously: "Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up!"

Just as they were making urgent preparations, the news had already reached Gu Qingyuan.

When Suihan received the news, he couldn't help but pace back and forth.

Gu Qingyuan saw this and smiled: "Girl, why are you going back and forth like this?"

"Madam, aren't you in a hurry? There will be a blood test over there. When the blood fuses, then...then we will have one more enemy!" Sui Han waited with big round eyes, an excited look on his face. said.

Gu Qingyuan saw it in his eyes and smiled: "I know what you are worried about, but you don't have to worry about it for now, because the blood will definitely blend."

"Why?" Sui Han frowned: "Could it be that the Crown Prince is really Ji Wenyue's son?"

"Of course not." Gu Qingyuan sneered and said, "What I mean is that since the Chen family can use this method, they say they have a way to make blood fuse. Do you understand?"

"Madam, what you mean is that they can cheat?" After Suihan said these words, he clapped his hands in sudden realization: "Yes, why did you forget that they can cheat! Then... let's go there too , expose them!”

"No, there's no point in exposing it." A smile appeared on Gu Qingyuan's lips: "You can find a way to put the things in my mahogany box in the Duke's study. Remember, don't let anyone find out that they are We let it go!”
