He had never been seen returning home before, but today...

"Then let's go together."

Their carriage was ahead, so the Wang family's carriage went first.

"Ah Qing, what do you think they mean?"

"Just deal with whatever comes your way. Don't worry, I'm here."

"Um."

After these two days, the last trace of awkwardness between them disappeared, and they became inseparable.

In front of the Chen residence.

A carriage arrived first, and everyone assumed it was the Sixth Princess and her entourage. But when they got out of the carriage, they were surprised to find it was Second Young Master Chen and Miss Wang.

After all, the second young master had never returned since he was sent away in a sedan chair, except when the eldest young master got married.

Firstly, because the servant was not qualified, and secondly, because he must have harbored resentment towards the Chen family's inaction that day.

His return today, though ill-timed, also indirectly demonstrates his favor with the emperor. Even a lowly servant can have his wife accompany him on his homecoming visit.

But Lord Chen's expression immediately darkened, as if he did not want to see the son who had made him lose face.

Chen Jun was also not very satisfied. What was going on with this second young master? He came back first on the day his son returned home. Was he here to show off his favor or to steal his son's thunder?

Among them, only Lord Lan was probably happy. Looking at his son, he exclaimed, "My son, you've finally come back to see your father!"

Lord Lan was extremely pleased. His son had finally given him a chance to shine, and seeing his lord suffer a humiliation made him incredibly happy.

"Father, your unfilial son has finally returned to see you."

"Oh, good son, it's good to be back."

The two of them immediately put on a picture of a loving father and filial son.

until.

Wei Wangqing helped Chen Zhiyan down from the carriage.

Instantly, everyone crowded around, and no one paid attention to the scene between the father and son. The two men's faces froze.

"Greetings to the Sixth Princess and the Sixth Emperor." At this point, he was no longer the young master, but the Sixth Emperor.

"No need for such formalities."

The group of people escorted them into the mansion, leaving the second young master and his companions outside, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

Lan Shijun was so angry that her nose almost crooked. "These clueless bastards."

Upon entering the main hall, Wei Wangqing discovered that there were still quite a few people present; it turned out that the Lin family hadn't left yet. Well, it made sense; it was normal for them to stay a while longer after coming all this way.

The group quickly exchanged greetings, but one person was different. He first addressed Chen Zhiyan as "Cousin," and then looked at Wei Wangqing with a graceful expression, saying "Your Highness."

Wei Wangqing frowned. What's up with this guy?

Chen Zhiyan also felt a tightness in his chest; he didn't like the way he looked at Aqing.

Mr. Chen was filled with remorse. He regretted not keeping the entire Lin family in the mansion. If his daughter-in-law had been seduced, he would have no one to turn to for help.

Lord Chen coughed twice and said to Wei Wangqing, "Why don't we go to the study to talk? Let's leave the room for these men."

"good."

So the women all went outside.

Before leaving, Wei Wangqing patted Chen Zhiyan's hand, which reassured him considerably.

His wife would never be seduced by these men!

The man couldn't help but speak up: "Your Highness is so kind to my cousin! This is my cousin's own home, and Your Highness is still a little worried about it!"

Those women had all left, but Chen's father wasn't going to tolerate him: "Brother-in-law, you should really keep an eye on your good son. How dare he speak to His Highness?"

"Yi'er, don't talk nonsense," Lin Jun said dismissively.

Turning to Chen's father, he said, "Oh dear, brother, please don't take offense. Our son has always admired Zhiyan since he was little and has always looked up to her. He was just envious of how well Zhiyan married, which is why he spoke without thinking this time."

No one spoke; everyone present was shrewd enough to see what the Lin family father and son meant.

Nobody wants to offend anyone. What if the Sixth Princess really takes a liking to him? Wouldn't that make him a phoenix rising from the ashes?

Only Chen's father was furious; he had truly let a wolf into the house.

“Our Yan’er is not someone that everyone can envy, and his good fortune is not something that everyone can share.”

Lin Jun's face was somewhat unpleasant. How could his wife's younger brother be so inflexible, taking all the benefits for himself and not letting the family share in the good fortune?

Besides, do you really think Chen Zhiyan can be favored forever? It's only been a couple of days since the wedding. It would be better to let his son go and help out.

After all, it's better to keep the good stuff within the family.

However, it was not easy to say these words outright, but who knew that Mr. Chen would be so disrespectful.

It seems the only option is to start with the Sixth Princess.

There's no such thing as a cat that doesn't steal fish; he didn't believe Chen Jun's claim that the Sixth Princess really liked Chen Zhiyan.

He had already planned it all out: once Yi'er married the Sixth Princess, he could stay in the capital and enjoy a life of luxury.

Let's see how smug Chen Jun can be now!

“Yes, brother is indeed very fortunate.” At this moment, Chen Zhishao said with an ambiguous meaning.

Lan Shijun was watching the spectacle unfold with Chen's father, as such a scene was quite rare, when suddenly her own son intervened.

"What do you mean, Second Brother?" Chen Zhiyan said coldly.

"It's nothing, just envy. My elder brother has a good background that everyone envies, and he has a princess as his wife. Moreover, I heard that the Sixth Princess's residence doesn't have a single servant or attendant. It's very clean, so of course it's something to be incredibly envious of."

On the surface, he said this out of envy, but his tone betrayed a different story.

Moreover, look at that father and son, they seem even more envious!

Chen Zhiyan hadn't expected that the Sixth Princess's residence was so clean and tidy that he didn't have to worry about it at all, while his own residence was teeming with demons and monsters.

Lin Shangyi was indeed thinking that since there wasn't a single husband in the Sixth Princess's residence, there would be no one vying for favor if he married into the family. Wouldn't he be all the most powerful? Lin Shangyi had completely forgotten about his cousin and was filled with fantasies about the future.

“That’s true. After all, the Prince’s mansion seems to be in quite a mess. It’s normal for my second brother to be envious,” Chen Zhiyan retorted calmly.

He had no idea that his second brother was paying so much attention to him; it seems he had a lot of free time in the Prince's mansion!

Chen Zhishao choked, speechless.

The Prince's mansion was indeed in a mess; dealing with Lianqiao alone had taken him a lot of effort.

Because he never knew that Wang Fengyue was so affectionate. After all, what kind of devoted lover would try to seduce him after having the Fifth Prince?

It's just that he couldn't see it clearly at the time.

However, his older brother was just too lucky, so lucky that he couldn't help but want to destroy him!

I want to see what it would be like if he ended up like him.

Leaving aside the heated debate on this side, Wei Wangqing and the others remained silent.

Lord Chen, along with Wang Fengyue and Lin Dagui, really don't quite get along.

Therefore, the atmosphere was somewhat stiff.

In the end, Wei Wangqing spoke first, after all, she was the one with the highest status among these people.

However, the person who spoke to him was surprising: "Patriarch Lin, it's been a long time."

Lin Dagui was also surprised that the Sixth Princess spoke to him first. "Yes, Your Highness, it has been a long time since we last met in Jiangcheng. The people of Jiangcheng are very grateful to Your Highness!"
