Guan Yanyue was furious and exclaimed, "You little brat, you dare to punish this old lady?"
"Are you getting too bold?"
"Your mother is a cheap whore, and I'll beat her whenever I feel like it."
"I didn't just beat her yesterday."
"I've beaten her many times before."
"What are you going to do about it?"
"Shut up!" Chen Bohan suppressed the urge to hit her, thinking his wife was too rash and shouldn't say such things at this time.
In his opinion.
Although Chen Nan proposed severe punishment for her.
No matter what, she was still the grand mistress of the Chen family.
It would suffice for him, the father, to reprimand her a few times, and for her to say a few apologetic words.
Then, she could go to the west city and apologize to Wang Mengqing in person. At worst, she could be brought back to the Chen family.
This matter would then be settled.
However.
With her words, could this matter be resolved easily?
This woman was truly foolish to the extreme!
"Mother, please say less!"
Chen Fan also realized his mother had spoken out of turn.
Guan Yanyue snorted heavily, saying impatiently, "I'm willing to go to your mother, apologize to her face, and bring her back to live in the Chen family."
"That's still not enough!"
Chen Nan dropped a bombshell: "It's very simple for me to forgive you."
"From now on, let my mother become the primary wife, and you will be a concubine."
Everyone gasped.
Clearly, they hadn't expected Chen Nan to have such great ambition.
Let alone Chen Bohan's family of three.
Even Song Ziwei's eyes widened.
Was the young master possessed by a bear's courage?
He actually wanted to depose Guan Yanyue as the primary wife and make his mother the primary wife of the Chen family?
At this moment.
She couldn't help but wonder.
Had the young master hit his head yesterday?
Guan Yanyue laughed in anger: "You little brat, you have quite an ambition!"
"However, you're being too wishful."
"I am the lawfully wedded primary wife of the Chen family."
"What right does your mother, that village slut, have to become the primary wife of the Chen family?"
Chen Bohan said in a low voice, "Yanyue, watch your mouth. Although Mengqing hasn't formally entered the Chen family, she's still my woman."
There was something he didn't say.
If Wang Mengqing hadn't given him a son, the Chen and Leng families wouldn't have formed an alliance.
And they wouldn't have developed to this point.
Guan Yanyue looked at Chen Bohan angrily: "Chen, what do you mean? Are you betraying us? Isn't he just sticking his neck out before? Even if City Lord Yuan were still alive, how can you be so sure that City Lord Yuan would favor this useless person who only bullies others and is incapable of great tasks?"
A simple sentence.
It hit the nail on the head.
It directly addressed the core of the issue.
Just as the madam said.
This guy was indeed useless.
Would City Lord Yuan really favor this useless person?
If he could indeed favor him.
Then her humble approach and forbearance would be worth it.
If City Lord Yuan didn't even look down on this useless person.
Then wouldn't she have suffered a loss?
At this moment.
The steward of the Chen manor ran in in a panic, panting, "Master, Steward Tian from the City Lord's manor is here. He's waiting at the entrance right now!"
Chen Bohan was enraged: "Old man, why didn't you invite such an important figure as Steward Tian in directly? Go, go, quickly go and welcome Steward Tian."
Although he didn't know why Steward Tian was here.
For Chen Bohan, Steward Tian's visit was a great honor to the Chen family.
He hurried to the entrance.
Chen Bohan also saw Steward Tian.
"Steward Tian, your presence is an honor. Please come in!" Chen Bohan invited warmly.
At this time.
Steward Tian saw Chen Nan behind Chen Bohan and smiled, greeting him, "Oh, Young Master Chen is here too!"
Chen Nan gave a wry smile: "Steward Tian, what are you saying? This is my home, why wouldn't I be here?"
Chen Bohan glared: "Rebel, do you speak to Steward Tian like that?"
Steward Tian also glared, angrily saying, "Old man, do you speak to Young Master Chen like that?"
Chen Bohan was bewildered.
Can someone tell me what exactly happened?
This is my son!
What's wrong with me calling him a rebel?
And!
I was reprimanding him because I couldn't stand his disrespect towards you!
Guan Yanyue and Chen Fan, mother and son, were also dumbfounded.
They had no idea what was going on.
Steward Tian said indifferently, "Patriarch Chen, let me tell you the truth."
"I am visiting today entirely because of Young Master Chen's favor."
"If it weren't for City Lord Yuan's liking for Young Master Chen, do you think I would come to your Chen family?"
He didn't hide his contempt.
Because he knew.
Chen Nan was not well-received in the Chen family.
He wanted to take this opportunity to help Chen Nan vent his anger.
Of course.
This was not solely because Chen Nan had the favor of Yuan Zun.
Mainly, after he had ordered the rectification of the chaotic yamen yesterday, Yuan Zun had given him an order.
To rectify the evil atmosphere in the yamen.
When he said he was already making changes.
Yuan Zun showed a look of relief.
Although he only said "good."
Steward Tian knew.
He had truly gained the recognition of City Lord Yuan Zun.
Boom!
Guan Yanyue's scalp tingled.
Had Chen Nan, this useless person, drugged City Lord Yuan?
Otherwise, why would he think so highly of this useless person?
For a moment.
An ominous premonition arose.
Chen Bohan's eyes were filled with shock.
He hadn't expected Steward Tian's visit to be because of Chen Nan, this useless person.
He hadn't expected him to have truly gained City Lord Yuan's appreciation.
Steward Tian's gaze was indifferent: "Do you know what my visit today means for the future landscape of Tongcheng?"
Chen Bohan shivered.
No one had seen Yuan Zun since he took office.
Now, he sent Steward Tian to the Chen family, which was sending a signal to the outside world.
A signal of friendship with the Chen family.
This was a golden opportunity for the Chen family!
As long as they could grasp it!
The Chen family would surely soar and dominate the entire economic landscape of Tongcheng.
Becoming the number one family in Tongcheng!
"Opportunities are fleeting, and not everyone can grasp them!" Steward Tian said unhurriedly, "Since I am here, I hope Patriarch Chen can seize the opportunity."
"Do not disappoint City Lord Yuan's expectations for your Chen family!"
Chen Bohan quickly said, "Steward Tian is absolutely right. Please convey to City Lord Yuan that our Chen family will definitely not disappoint him."
He changed the subject and warmly invited, "Well, it's lunchtime now, and my Chen family's lunch is almost ready. Why don't we eat and chat?"
Steward Tian did not answer him.
Instead, he looked at Chen Nan with a questioning gaze.
Chen Bohan's heart trembled.
He knew.
Whether the Chen family could gain Yuan Zun's support.
The decision rested with Chen Nan.
Chen Nan sneered, "I naturally hope the Chen family prospers."
"However."
"The primary wife snatched my mother's golden bracelet and insulted my mother."
"You haven't even given an explanation, so how can you have the audacity to ask for anything else?"
"There's such a thing?" Steward Tian was full of indignation, "Patriarch Chen, I can tell you responsibly, if you don't give Young Master Chen and his mother justice, you can forget about getting the City Lord's support!"
Chen Bohan exclaimed in fear, "Steward Tian, please calm down. I will immediately strip Guan Yanyue of her primary wife status and let Mengqing become the primary wife of my Chen family."
Guan Yanyue slumped to the ground!
Her eyes were vacant!
Why is it like this?
Didn't Chen Nan, this useless person, just stand up for City Lord Yuan?
Why is he being treated so well by City Lord Yuan?
