Ma Sanyuan's appearance was beyond Guo Yu's expectations.
He didn't expect why Ma Sanyuan would be here.
Although he said it was a chance encounter.
But wasn't this too coincidental?
Tongcheng was so vast, how could they possibly meet here for no reason?
Instead, Chen Nan appeared very calm.
Because he had already guessed that the Ma family would contact him, a cold smile appeared on his face: "Clan Leader Ma, it seems we have nothing to talk about, right?"
Ma Sanyuan said politely, "Constable Chen, I heard that my son offended you before, so I have come to apologize to you in person. I also hope you can give me an opportunity to atone for my mistakes."
His posture was very humble.
His face was full of repentance.
The Ma family wanted to gain complete control of shipping.
However.
There had to be their people among the constables.
For this reason.
He chose Chen Nan.
Although the Ma family had conflicts with Chen Nan.
But in Ma Sanyuan's opinion.
As long as it was a person, they had a weakness.
Especially Chen Nan.
His weakness was particularly obvious.
That was his love for money.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have cultivated penicillin.
Chen Nan said casually, "Clan Leader Ma is too serious. Although my son and I have had some conflicts, they were all minor matters, and I didn't take them to heart at all."
"That's very good, very good." Ma Sanyuan breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "I heard that Constable Chen needs potatoes and cabbage, right?"
"Coincidentally, my Ma family has a large batch of vegetables."
"If you don't mind, our Ma family can supply you with all the vegetables you need free of charge."
"Consider it an apology to you."
Chen Nan frowned slightly: "Clan Leader Ma, are you looking down on me, Chen? Just some cabbage and potatoes, do you think I can't afford them?"
Ma Sanyuan chuckled awkwardly and said nothing.
Chen Nan said, "How about this, sell them to me at market price!"
"Deal!"
Ma Sanyuan was overjoyed and agreed immediately.
Although the relationship between the Ma family and Chen Nan was very strained.
But in his opinion.
Since Chen Nan was willing to use their vegetables, it meant he was willing to let bygones be bygones with the Ma family.
This was a good omen.
"How about this, tomorrow morning, send me five thousand jin of cabbage and potatoes each," Chen Nan said lightly, then left with Guo Yu.
------
As soon as he returned home.
Chen Nan saw his biological father, Chen Bohan, standing in front of his mother with a nervous expression.
He was saying flattering words, trying to persuade her to return to the Chen family.
"Who let you in?"
Seeing Chen Bohan.
Chen Nan felt a surge of anger.
He could never forget how they, mother and son, were driven out.
And the things Chen Bohan had done to target them.
"Son, father knows he was wrong, please forgive me, and come back to the Chen family with me?" Chen Bohan looked at Chen Nan nervously.
Although they were father and son.
But in front of Chen Nan.
Chen Bohan acted more like a grandson.
He hadn't expected his son to become a fifth-level Yin Messenger.
But he knew one thing.
Given time.
His son would definitely soar.
Become a dragon among men.
This was a blessing for the Chen family.
Therefore.
He came here to ease the relationship.
Chen Nan sneered, "Isn't it better here than in the Chen family?"
Chen Bohan was speechless.
This courtyard belonged to the Liang family before, and in terms of scale, along with the furniture inside, it already far surpassed the Chen family.
Without further thought, Chen Bohan quickly said, "I admit this place is better than the Chen family, but returning to the Chen family, I can talk with your mother together, and spare her from being so lonely by herself."
Chen Nan didn't speak, but looked at his mother.
Wang Mengqing appeared a little nervous, her eyes darting away.
She dared not look into Chen Nan's eyes.
Seeing this, Chen Nan sighed inwardly.
Perhaps when they were driven out, his mother was very disappointed with Chen Bohan.
But now.
He felt that his mother seemed to want to return to the Chen family.
Although he felt it was unnecessary.
But he respected his mother's wishes.
Even if Chen Bohan came to apologize was opportunistic.
Because he had become a fifth-level Yin Messenger and wanted to latch onto him.
But.
As long as he was good to his mother.
That was enough.
Thinking of this, Chen Nan smiled and said, "Mother, if you feel bored here, you can change places to live, it doesn't matter where you go, as long as you are happy."
He knew his mother was too embarrassed to say it.
So he gave her a way out.
Wang Mengqing nodded with red eyes, "Then I'll go to the Chen family to live for a while."
After all, she couldn't let go of Chen Bohan.
If not.
She wouldn't have carried his seed alone with a pregnant belly to give birth to him back then.
------
Of course.
It wasn't just Wang Mengqing who went to the Chen family.
Chen Nan also asked the maids and servants at home to accompany them to the Chen family.
On the one hand, it was to take care of his mother.
On the other hand, it could also deter Chen Bohan and the rest of the Chen family.
In the large house.
Only he and Guo Yu were left.
"I have some Caiyin Pills here, take them and use them!"
Chen Nan took out the remaining Caiyin Pills, but kept one, and gave the rest to Guo Yu.
It wasn't that he was stingy.
But he had to leave one for Steward Wang.
After all, he had promised to return one hundred and twenty Caiyin Pills to him. Although he had broken his promise.
But he couldn't give none at all, right?
He was now a fifth-level Yin Messenger.
He could barely be considered a big shot.
He had to save face.
He couldn't get something for nothing.
Guo Yu was greatly surprised, he didn't expect Chen Nan to give him so many pills.
Although he only had the cultivation of the first level of Caiyin Realm.
He also knew that this item was priceless.
One Caiyin Pill was worth one million taels of silver.
Chen Nan also wrote a prescription and gave Guo Yu a bank note for one hundred thousand taels: "Don't be in a hurry to take the pills, take this prescription to buy one hundred thousand taels of medicinal materials."
"Also, buy some wine and dishes, and have a good drink with Captain Wu and the others tonight."
Although Caiyin Pills could also improve Guo Yu's cultivation.
But for Chen Nan.
To become stronger.
He had to have a powerful physique.
He planned to have Guo Yu start with soaking in medicinal baths.
While Guo Yu went to buy medicine.
Chen Nan put on his black cloak and a golden mask and came to Qingyun Tower.
He felt.
It was necessary to give Steward Wang an explanation.
Even if he was Number Three.
He was still a steward of Qingyun Tower.
Qingyun Tower was not his property.
He couldn't make things difficult for him, could he?
Before he even entered the door.
He saw Steward Wang sitting at the entrance, looking haggard.
He kept looking outside.
As if searching for something.
Seeing Chen Nan appear, Steward Wang's eyes lit up, he got up to greet him, his voice even choked with emotion: "Daoist Chen, you're finally here!"
"If you didn't come any sooner, I would have cried!"
Who knew what kind of mental pressure he had endured these past few days.
Chen Nan had tricked him, and took away those two hundred stalks of Lycoris radiata without spending a penny.
If he still didn't come.
And didn't give the one hundred and twenty Caiyin Pills to Qingyun Tower.
Then he would definitely be severely reprimanded.
Chen Nan's tone carried a hint of displeasure: "Steward Wang, I don't like it when you say that. Are you implying that I won't fulfill my previous promise?"
"Am I, Chen, such a despicable person who breaks his word?"
"I didn't mean that." Steward Wang smiled sheepishly and quickly said, "You said you would give Qingyun Tower one hundred and twenty Caiyin Pills before, may I ask, have you brought the pills?"
