Chapter 64: The Second Young Master of the Chen Family
Chapter 64: The Second Young Master of the Chen Family ( plus more)
"Are you going to the He family? I dare not accept this money. It turns out that you are Mr. He's guest. I am too talkative, too talkative!"
When the old man was driving the ox cart almost to He's house, he found that the two were actually guests of honor in He's house. Chang Miao wanted to give him money, but he refused.
"Mr. He is a very kind man. To be honest, he used to come here to eat every day a few days ago. I can't accept the wine and meat he has been giving me these days!"
"Father-in-law, just accept it. It's okay." Li Ming smiled, and Chang Miao also stuffed a dime into the old man's hand.
The old man was really grateful, so he took it very stiffly, and thanked him profusely, muttering to himself that he had met a kind person.
The two men walked there after the old man left, but after only a few steps, they found a man kneeling at the door of He's house. There were many people pointing and talking around him. They were curious and stopped at the same time.
"What's going on?" Chang Miao asked.
"You ask me, who should I ask?" Li Ming raised his eyebrows and said, "Let's go and see."
The two walked forward a few steps before they heard the discussions of the people around them.
"Who is this person?"
"I don't know. He came early in the morning. It's been almost the whole day."
"Hey, you guys don't know anything yet you're just standing here watching the fun."
"Yo, you know?"
"Of course not! My third aunt's second uncle's niece's husband's brother-in-law is the He family's cook! There's nothing in the He family that I don't know."
"Wow, this is really a very close relative. Do you know who this person is?"
"This is the second young master of the Chen family!"
"The second young master of the Chen family?"
"Which Chen family?"
"Are there any other Chen families nearby?"
"Then why is he kneeling here?"
"Well, you might not know this, but this Mr. He has a cousin who just returned from studying abroad."
"Come back and then what?"
"Hey, I'm not going to talk if you interrupt me again."
"Well, I'm just helping you out. I won't ask any more questions. Just tell me what you want to say."
"Hmph, listen, this cousin is truly beautiful, charming and charming. A few days ago, when she came to the He Mansion, she was spotted by Master Chen who was there to discuss business. Master Chen is also a handsome man. Although they didn't say it explicitly, the first glance between the two of them planted a deep impression in each other's hearts."
"From that day on, the two of them lost their appetite and couldn't eat or drink. Young Master Chen fell ill and couldn't get up. He was suffering from lovesickness. Master Chen was worried about his son and rushed back and forth, inside and outside. He finally found out the reason. Isn't this just to offer the betrothal gift?" "Why kneel down to offer the betrothal gift?"
"Can you please just listen to me? If you keep interrupting me, I really won't be happy to talk to you anymore. It's annoying. That happened two days ago. That was Master Chen, and this is Second Young Master Chen."
"Okay, okay, I'm being nosy, nosy, you go ahead, you go ahead."
"As for Young Master He, he and his cousin have been childhood sweethearts. This time, Master He was planning to finalize their marriage, but who could have known such a thing would happen? Who wouldn't be anxious if the daughter-in-law he favored left halfway? Master He immediately took action against the Chen family's business. What status does the He family have? Although the Chen family has some property, it's nothing."
"Overnight, everyone, listen up! It happened overnight! All of the Chen family's suppliers and business partners stopped cooperating with the Chen family. Seeing that their vast wealth was about to be lost, how could he not be anxious? He was so anxious that he had a stroke and became paralyzed!"
"That's why Second Young Master Chen came here to beg Master He for mercy. Look, it's been a whole day, and has anyone from the He family paid any attention to him? No, it's useless! Why not mess with the He family? There's no place for the Chen family in Jienan!"
Who knew that someone would jump out and argue loudly, giving another different version, which combined suspense, haunting, and orthopedic plots.
In just a short while, Chang Miao and Li Ming had already listened to three or four different versions of the story. They couldn't help but sigh at the ability of these ordinary people to add fuel to the fire. The rumors became extremely outrageous in a few seconds, but the outrageousness also had a touch of fun and worldly wisdom, making it more credible.
However, looking through these three or four versions, there are always some similarities. The key points are the illness of Young Master Chen and Mr. Chen, and the He family's obstruction of the Chen family's business. At this time, Li Ming also understood that there is no smoke without fire. Even if it is a rumor, it always has a source. If you trace it back to the source, you may be able to discover the hidden truth.
But after listening for a long time, at least he knew that this person was Chen Xingyu, the second son of the Chen family. Li Ming took a closer look and saw that he had clear eyes, handsome features, and a bit of scholarly air. He just knelt for a whole day and looked a little listless.
Li Ming looked at his face and couldn't help but think about it.
"This man has a full forehead, a radiant life palace, and thick eyebrows and lips, giving him the air of a talented king. Alas, it's better to resolve a feud than to create one. The Chen family's affairs were originally caused by Huang Laoqi, who was behind the scenes plotting to deceive the eldest son of the Chen family. Now the culprit is dead. If the Chen family is forced to be destroyed, it will show that the He family is too domineering and will reduce their fortune. That's not right."
Li Ming had seen the development of the matter from Huang Laoqi's notes. He was the one who secretly instigated it, intending to use the power of the Chen family to severely deceive the He family, and then slowly plot against them. By then, the family property of both families would be in his pocket.
In fact, he is the culprit, and Young Master Chen has become the remnant soul of his subordinates. Huang Laoqi has also surrendered. Could it be that the He family really wants to ignore the reputation they have built for so many years?
Having made up his mind, Li Ming did not say much to the kneeling Second Master Chen, but strode towards the gate of He Mansion with Chang Miao.
The water and land ceremony had just ended, and these common people might not be able to see clearly and recognize Li Ming from a distance, but Li Ming had lived in the He Mansion for seven days before that, and these servants would occasionally run into him when they came and went.
It just so happened that the gatekeeper today had met Li Ming three times before and was very impressed. Seeing that the two of them came together, he immediately stepped forward and bowed to greet them.
"How did you two gentlemen find time to come down the mountain?"
"I have something important to discuss with your master. Go and report it immediately." Li Ming said calmly.
"Sir, please move to the living room and wait. I will go and inform them right away." The doorman replied very politely and then hurried inside.
Chen Xingyu, who had been kneeling at the door of the He family, looked at the two of them in surprise.
You have to know that the prime minister is a seventh-rank official. Although the He family has a good family tradition and these servants will not do anything difficult, no matter who comes, they will treat it impartially. These two people look young, but they can actually make them so respected. They are definitely people that the He family values.
Chen Xingyu's eyes turned and he thought of a rumor. He immediately said, "Sir, please stay."
Li Ming smiled faintly in his heart, turned around and asked, "What do you want to call me for?"
