The empress is pregnant, and the emperor's incense continues

Putting aside how ridiculous this matter is, Chen Yanqing is a conservative person who values ​​his reputation. He and Meng Wenyao have been engaged for so many years, but because the Chen family has no female relatives, they have never invited Meng Wenyao to visit.

It can be seen how cautious Chen Yanqing is. How is it possible that his son just broke off the engagement and then his father married his ex-daughter-in-law?

"It must be a rumor!"

The Liu family members looked at each other in bewilderment, thinking that there was a lot of truth to the rumor. Since it had spread throughout the capital, they were afraid that it might be groundless, so they advised Chen Qianmo to go back and take a look.

"Mr. Chen, go back and ask around. This rumor must be stopped as soon as possible. Also, go back and admit your mistake to the elder. If you remain stubborn like this, the elder will definitely not satisfy you about your marriage."

"I understand!" Chen Qianmo said sullenly.

He wasn't being stiff on purpose; his knees were actually sore from kneeling. Chen Yanqing simply ignored him and didn't listen to his explanation.

He had just come to the Liu residence early in the morning, hoping that the Liu family would come forward and have a good talk with Chen Yanqing, deciding that it would be better for Liu Ruyan to be his wife rather than a concubine.

Who would have thought that before anyone could come to a conclusion, such rumors had already spread.

Even though he knew it was definitely a rumor, he was anxious to go back and see what was going on.

After leaving the Liu family, Chen Qianmo rushed home without stopping, not daring to delay for a moment and went straight to Chen Yanqing's study.

Outside the study, he happened to meet the butler Fu Bo, who was originally the butler of Master Zhuang's family. After Master Zhuang passed away, all the servants in the family followed him to the Chen Mansion.

In order to take better care of the gold nugget Chen Qianmo, Chen Yanqing assigned all of Master Zhuang's people to Chen Qianmo's command, so these people were very close to Chen Qianmo.

Uncle Fu saw Chen Qianmo jogging back and cried out distressedly, "My little ancestor, run slower. Look at the sweat on your head. Wipe it off quickly. Be careful not to catch a cold."

Chen Qianmo was in no mood to care about these details. He pulled Uncle Fu aside and asked, "Uncle Fu, do you know the rumors outside?"

"What rumor?" Uncle Fu didn't understand.

He is old and is slow in learning many things. If it weren't for the elderly people in Tutor Zhuang's house, Chen Yanqing would have asked him to be supported long ago.

Chen Qian was afraid that if he rashly entered Chen Yanqing's study, he would not be able to find out the news, and would make Chen Yanqing even more unhappy, which would be a bad thing.

He pulled Uncle Fu aside and whispered, "It's the rumor that my father is going to get engaged."

After hearing this, Uncle Fu felt that something was really wrong. When he told Elder Chen about the rumors outside in the morning, Elder Chen was full of dissatisfaction.

Have things changed now?

He pointed at the book in his hand and said, "Just now, the elder came back from outside and asked me to take out the account books of the mansion. He said that he wanted to renovate the main room. I was thinking that if you get married, you shouldn't live in the main room. Now it seems that the elder is getting married?"

Seeing that Uncle Fu also seemed to have only a vague idea of ​​the situation, Chen Qianmo patted Uncle Fu on the shoulder. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and knock on Chen Yanqing's study.

When he entered the study, he saw Chen Yanqing practicing calligraphy with a sullen face. He dared not breathe and just stood there stiffly.

It wasn't until the knock on the door sounded again that Uncle Fu was allowed in.

"Sir, this is the account book of our family. There has been no major incident in the mansion in recent years, and we have enough money. If you want to renovate the main room, you can decide when to do it. I will move your things out first."

Chen Yanqing put down the pen in his hand, glanced at the stunned Chen Qianmo, and said lightly: "Take out the things now. I will live in the study from tonight, and someone will come to repair it tomorrow."

After Uncle Fu left, Chen Yanqing looked at Chen Qianmo expressionlessly, and said in a cold tone: "Tell me, what's the matter?"

He is still a little angry now. If Chen Qianmo hadn't broken off the engagement, he wouldn't have to go through so much trouble.

Although he was in good health and Meng Wenyao could help him have children in the future, he no longer cared much about these things after years of being celibate. It would be the same if Chen Qianmo gave him a few more grandchildren.

But now, because of his personal affair, Chen Qianmo has turned a good marriage into a laughing stock in the whole capital. Even he, who has been clean for many years, is now trampled into the mud.

The hateful thing is that even though he knew he was recovering, he still felt eager to try. The calmness and self-control he had accumulated over the years were slowly slipping away.

Under his powerful pressure, Chen Qianmo shrank his head and whispered, "I heard some rumors outside and was worried that my father's reputation would be damaged, so I came back to report to my father."

"Oh, what rumor?" Chen Yanqing said indifferently.

Chen Qianmo took a deep breath and whispered, "People outside are saying that you and Meng Wenyao are engaged. This is really ridiculous. I will report to the police and arrest those who spread the rumors."

"Then you have to arrest me first."

Hearing this, Chen Qianmo suddenly raised his head. He was struck by lightning and it took him a long time to find his voice: "Father, why?"

"Why?" Chen Yanqing sneered, "Why do you want to cancel the engagement again!"

"The Meng family has done a favor to our family. You and Meng Wenyao have been engaged for many years. Do you know how much reputation our Chen family has suffered by breaking off the engagement privately? And now you still have the nerve to ask me why!"

Chen Qianmo was completely shocked and felt all the blood rushing to his head. His fiancée turned around and married his father. What kind of thing was this?

He said dissatisfiedly: "Father, even if it is a life-saving grace, you don't have to marry her. We owe the Meng family, and we can pay it back when we have the chance. Why should we marry her home?"

"Listen carefully, because the master has predicted that Meng Wenyao has a good fortune, a long life, and can bless you. Only she can bless you because she is your family. Since you don't want to marry her, your father will marry her back. All this is to save your life. Your mother risked her life to give birth to you. You must cherish your life and don't let your mother rest in peace in the afterlife."

Chen Qianmo instinctively distrusted this excuse. Fortune-telling was all nonsense.

"Father, these fortune-telling words are just for reference. Why do you take them seriously? If Meng Wenyao can really bless me, I can just marry her. Anyway, Miss Liu is just a concubine and will not hinder me from marrying Meng Wenyao."

"Then, I'll marry you and leave you there. I'll watch you and Liu being affectionate with each other all day long. By then, the Meng family and the Chen family will become enemies instead of being married. Is this how you repay your benefactor?"

Every word Chen Yanqing said was like a heavy hammer hitting Chen Qianmo's heart. He shook his head, almost collapsing inside.

He never thought that things would turn out like this just because he was calling off an engagement.

Now he regretted it immensely. If he had been more tactful and had been more restrained with Miss Liu, things would have been completely different.

"I disagree!"

This is Chen Qianmo's last stubbornness.

"It's not your turn to disagree!"

This is Chen Yanqing's power as a father.

Chen Qianmo looked around in confusion and found that no one could support him. His grandfather had passed away, his mother had also passed away, and if his father got married, he would be all alone.
