The immortal of the Tang Dynasty, but the game starts at Xuanwu Gate?

Chen Huai'an covered his face: "Come back! Come back here!"

Li Zhen said angrily, "Sir, don't stop me. I'm going back today to teach that spendthrift woman a lesson."

...Chen Huai'an remained silent for two breaths, his dough twitching, and finally couldn't help but laugh twice.

It turns out that people can actually laugh when they're speechless.

That's fucking ridiculous.

How can someone be so filial?

Li Chengqian said quietly, "Do you think it's more likely that your mother will beat you to death after you go back, or that you'll have a better chance of teaching her a lesson?"

"But she's spending my money!" Li Zhen said, exasperated. "How could she spend my money like this? She doesn't know how to save at all."

"If she can spend hundreds of coins on perfumes and cosmetics today, won't she be able to spend even more money on more useless things tomorrow?"

"If I don't teach her a lesson, she'll think she's spending her own money!"

"I inherited such a large family business, do you think it was easy for me?"

Chen Huai'an was really struggling to keep up appearances, feeling like he had completely fooled these people. He could only patiently persuade them, "But you haven't inherited the family fortune yet, have you? It's still in your parents' hands. It's not good for you to interfere too much."

"Besides, we've always valued filial piety. If your mother wants to buy it, let her buy it. We should just do our part to show our filial piety and not lecture her."

"Think about it, if you scold your mother today just because she bought some spices, what will people think of you when you make a lot of money in business in the future?"

"Are you saying that you're so rich, yet you scold your mother for buying some spices, earning yourself a reputation for being unfilial? Why bother?"

Li Zhen suddenly raised his head, pondered for a moment, and nodded emphatically.

"I hadn't thought things through properly. Sir, you truly are a sir; you always manage to enlighten me with your words."

"Oh well, what can I do? She's my mother, so I'll just have to spoil her."

"I just hope she doesn't go too far, otherwise I'll still have to teach her a lesson."

Chen Huai'an: "..."

Cheng Chumo: "Since that's the case, then I'll let it go. This time, I'll listen to you, sir, and let Old Cheng off the hook. After all, he's an old man in the family, and I'll just indulge him if he's ignorant."

"I'll talk to you later, I'm going home to get the money."

As he spoke, Cheng Chumo was about to get up and leave, but when he reached the door, he suddenly remembered something: "By the way, sir, how much money do we need to prepare?"

Chen Huai'an glanced at Li Chengqian and pondered, "One hundred strings of cash, perhaps!"

"Okay!" Cheng Chumo agreed without hesitation: "I'll go back and get the money now, and I'll come to see you tomorrow with it."

Seeing this, Tang Heshang and Li Zhen, like Cheng Chumo, said goodbye to Chen Huai'an and left with their heads held high.

Judging from their manner, it seemed as if a hundred strings of cash meant nothing to them.

"Sir... are they really still coming tomorrow?"

Li Chengqian hesitated, then said, "I have a feeling they probably won't be able to come?"

"That's hard to say." Chen Huai'an smiled faintly. "I still have some influence now. If these people can't come back, someone else should."

"and......"

Chen Huai'an ruffled Li Chengqian's hair and said with a smile, "The most important thing is you, little guy!"

......

"Old Cheng, come out here! You come out here right now!"

I have something to tell you.

When Cheng Chumo returned home with his servants, he started shouting and yelling. The servants behind him stared wide-eyed at what he was saying.

"Sir, please don't talk nonsense!"

A servant rushed forward and covered his young master's mouth: "If the Duke hears these words, you'll be in trouble..."

"So what if he heard?" Cheng Chumo pushed the servant's hand away and sneered, "What can he do to me?"

"He thinks he's right to spend my money?"

The servant was completely dumbfounded.

Is my young master having a fit of hysteria today?

Isn't this a bit of a reversal of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches?

"You little brat, what did you just say? Say it again!"

A tall and imposing figure walked out of the house; it was Cheng Yaojin, Cheng Chumo's father, and the current Duke of Su.

He looked at his son with a mixture of surprise and annoyance.

I don't understand what's wrong with this little brat today.

He's usually like a mouse before a cat, why is he so bold today?

The towering shadow loomed over him, and whether it was the suppression of his bloodline or the instinct honed from years of being beaten, Cheng Chumo's body trembled slightly.

However, Cheng Chumo didn't back down this time. He confidently stretched out his small hand and said, "Stop talking nonsense. You've spent so much of my money, so I won't hold it against you. Now I'm going to do something big with my brothers, so hurry up and give me a hundred strings of cash."

Cheng Yaojin: ?

Upon hearing this, not only was Cheng Yaojin stunned, but the maids and servants around him were also completely dumbfounded.

Then, these bystanders gave Cheng Chumo a look of admiration, lowered their heads, and silently retreated.

Cheng Yaojin smiled.

I was just angry.

"You're saying I'm spending your money?"

"Isn't that right? I'm the eldest son in the family, and this property will be mine sooner or later. Since it's mine, aren't you just spending my money?"

Cheng Yaojin was completely bewildered, hardly believing what he had just heard.

"What did you just say? I didn't hear you clearly. Could you say it again?"

Cheng Chumo said disdainfully, "What's the use of being so big? You're useless at everything, but you can eat a lot of rice. Now it's even difficult to talk to you."

"I'll say it!"

"The family fortune will be mine sooner or later. I won't argue with you spending my money. Just give me the money now, are you deaf?"

"..."

Cheng Yaojin carefully checked that he wasn't dreaming; the words he had just heard were indeed spoken by his eldest son.

A moment of silence.

A bull descended from the sky, its face contorted in fury!

"Looks like I gave you too much face, causing you to confuse the two kings. But it's alright, today!"

"I'll let you experience fatherly love properly!"

Cheng Yaojin raised his hand and grabbed Cheng Chumo's collar. His fatherly love surged like a landslide, with both his left and right fists dealing high damage.

"ah!!!"

Cheng Chumo was stunned by the blow, and after realizing what had happened, he let out a scream.

"What are you doing? Why are you hitting me?"

"Why should I hit you? I'm hitting you anyway!" Cheng Yaojin completely ignored Cheng Chumo's screams and just wanted to vent his fatherly love.

"Waaaaah..."

Cheng Chumo cried, and cried very loudly.

"Go ahead and hit me. Wait until you're old and need a cane, then you'll see how I beat you up."

Cheng Yaojin: ?

"You little brat, I've really given you too much credit. You think you'll see when I'm old? Look at me now, aren't I old?"

"..."
