When the female supporting role has a beauty system

Chapter 620 Peasant Woman 49
Tan You went out to sea, leaving only Chen Xi and An Wen in Beijing. Chen Xi was extremely busy, but no matter how busy she was, she still did not forget to look for Chen Cui.

Although he had experienced several years of turmoil, Chen Xi did not believe that a selfish person like Chen Cui would have a bad life. It is ironic that people who are upright and principled usually do not live a satisfactory life.

However, those who are selfish are doing very well. It has to be said that this is a great irony.

But Chen Xi was now the emperor, and she could always find someone if she wanted to. Especially since her intelligence agencies were spread all over the country, even if Chen Cui was a female relative hiding in the backyard of a deep house, she could still find her, it just took more time.

After searching for more than a year, one afternoon, Chen Xi was reviewing memorials when Liu Fu came in and said carefully, "Your Majesty, we found Chen Cui. He is outside now."

Chen Xi paused holding the brush, and the ink dripped onto the memorial, leaving a vermilion ink spot. Chen Xi calmed down, put the brush on the brush washer, and then looked at Liu Fu: "Call An Wen and Chen Xing, some things must be settled."

"Also, please invite several clan elders, clan leaders, and clan wives to come over."

Liu Fu lowered his body and said, "Yes, I will go right away."

Soon, An Wen and Chen Xing, who were busy in the Ministry of War and the hospital, came to the Qinzheng Hall. In the center of the hall, a woman about thirty-five or thirty-six years old was kneeling.

The woman was dressed very elegantly, with fair skin and slender fingers without any calluses from work. It was obvious that she had been raised in wealth over the years.

An Wen glanced at her with a puzzled look in his eyes. He knew the name Chen Cui, but how could he know what Chen Cui looked like? Therefore, he was indeed puzzled when he was hurriedly called to the Qinzheng Palace.

The same was true for Chen Xing. She was only three years old when Tan You came over and she didn't remember anything. So after meeting Chen Cui, she just sat quietly aside, not caring about what happened next.

The clan leader Chen Tianshui and the clan elders also arrived at the Qinzheng Hall soon. After Chen Xi ascended the throne, he did not reward the clan members wantonly, because everyone was born as an old farmer, and being a rich and idle person was the best choice.

On weekdays, everyone is very low-key, and even if they are royal relatives, they abide by their words and deeds.

This is more pure. Now that Chen Xi suddenly called him into the palace, the elders of the clan were inevitably a little strange. Chen Tianshui's wife, Aunt Cuihua, stared at Chen Xi for a long time before suddenly shouting, "Master, isn't this Chen Cui?"

Chen Tianshui and several elders also recognized Chen Cui. The third grandfather even walked closer and looked at her for a long time before he trembled and said, "It is indeed her."

When everyone was present, Chen Xi closed her eyes. She looked carefully at An Wen's face, and then compared it with Chen Cui's. After a long while, she said with some regret: "You and Chen Cui... don't look alike at all."

"It's not her child, so of course it doesn't look like her," a voice suddenly came. Chen Xi's eyebrows moved slightly. Chen Xing, who was originally sitting aside, immediately stood up and jogged out of the palace.

Chen Xi's inner violence was suppressed a little by Tan You's words, but when she saw Chen Cui, she was still so angry that she slammed the table. Chen Cui shrank back in fear, wishing she could find a corner to hide.

An Wen was struck by lightning. He took two quick steps and stood in front of Chen Cui. Then he half bent over and scanned Chen Cui's face inch by inch. It took him a long time to retract his gaze, but his fists hanging at his sides clenched tighter and tighter.

He was completely unaware of Tan You's return.

Soon, Chen Xing took Tan You's arm and walked into the Qinzheng Hall. Behind Tan You, Chen Yue had tied up a middle-aged man in his forties and a teenager about the same age as An Wen.

The middle-aged man was wearing silk and satin, with a gold ring on his hand, and looked very rich. But his eyes were very lively, and one could tell at a glance that such a person was unstable and not someone you could make close friends with. The young man next to him looked 80% similar to Chen Cui. On the contrary, An Wen looked very similar to the middle-aged man.

Liu Fu was the first to salute, and then a large number of people in the palace knelt down and said, "Greetings, Madam."

Tan You took a few steps forward and supported several elders: "Don't talk nonsense. Third Grandpa, elders, you are kneeling to me like this, but it will shorten my life."

After Chen Xi ascended the throne, her status naturally rose and she became the emperor. But Tan You herself did not like this title and preferred everyone to call her the eldest lady.

Chen Xi stood behind the desk, staring at Tan You intently. After a long while, he pulled the corners of his lips and whispered, "Mother, you're back."

Tan You looked at her and smiled: "If you don't want to laugh, then don't laugh. If you have to wear a fake face in front of your family, your life will be too hopeless."

Chen Xi clenched her fists. She stared at the middle-aged man for a long time before finally looking at An Wen: "It turns out that there is a reason why you don't look like each other. You are actually Qi Yaozong's son."

Chen Xi was not stupid. As long as he put An Wen and Qi Yaozong together, the truth would be clear. Chen Cui, who was lying on the ground, shook his head frantically, and even Qi Yaozong wanted to open his mouth to refute.

But he didn't expect Chen Yue to kick him and Qi Chen in the knees: "Kneel down!"

The two men staggered after being kicked and knelt in front of Chen Xi and An Wen in embarrassment.

Tan You chuckled: "You're not that stupid. Let Qi Yaozong tell the truth himself."

As she spoke, she sat down on a nearby chair. When she looked at Qi Yaozong again, Tan You's tone became a little colder: "If you tell a lie, I will cut off one of Qi Chen's hands. Let's see how many times he can hold on."

Qi Yaozong shuddered: "I dare not, Your Majesty, I... I absolutely dare not lie..."

Chen Yue scolded impatiently: "Stop talking nonsense and stop wasting time."

Qi Yaozong knew that this matter could not be resolved peacefully. He wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, no words came out.

Tan You propped up her head and looked at him teasingly. Seeing that he remained silent for a few breaths, she winked at Chen Yue. How perceptive was Chen Yue? She grabbed Qi Chen's arm and twisted it hard, and Qi Chen screamed like a pig being slaughtered.

"It hurts... Dad, save me! Mom, it hurts so much!"

Chen Cui felt sorry for her son. She crawled to Qi Chen’s side and said, “Your Majesty… Your Majesty, Qi Chen is your brother. He also has the blood of the Chen family in his veins… How could you… How could you be so cruel to him?”

Qi Chen was in so much pain that tears were streaming down his face. However, when he heard that he was the emperor's brother, he immediately stopped howling and even a look of joy appeared on his face.

Chen Xi glanced at Chen Cui: "What about An Wen? Isn't he a member of the Chen family?"
