"Chen Xuan, born out of wedlock, stole the family's money and revealed the family's most important secrets. According to the clan's rules, he should be flogged to death, but because his parents had made contributions to the clan, he was spared.
Now he is ordered to choose a wife and three concubines.
Go to the frontier and become the head of a branch, expand the family, and make meritorious contributions while serving your sentence!"
On the high platform, the Chen clan leader finished reading the result on the brocade cloth, looked at Chen Xuan in the hall, and said coldly:
"You should be grateful that your family won't kill you."
"Hurry up and choose a wife and concubine and go to the border to take over the position of the branch clan leader!"
Chen Xuan was wearing a blue shirt, had a tall figure, and had handsome features, making him stand out in the crowd.
He slowly cupped his hands and said calmly:
"I am willing to follow the family's arrangements."
Three days after traveling to this world, he finally figured out his identity.
The Chen family, one of the three major families in the Dagan Dynasty, is extremely powerful.
He was the thirteenth illegitimate child of the Chen family. His parents died early and he was not loved by his uncles and nephews.
Just because the original body looked at the daughter of Luoan Palace, whom his elder brother had a crush on, for a few more seconds at the cocktail party, his elder brother became jealous and threw him into prison on the grounds of stealing family property.
The Chen family is extremely powerful, but has few members, with only thirteen people in the new generation.
So there came the punishment of marrying a wife and choosing concubines to expand the family.
Is this a punishment?
Chen Xuan thought that this was a reward.
Even though there are frequent wars and crises on the border, it is far better than the Chen family's intrigue!
As long as we can stay away from this vortex.
Go out into the world, the sky is high and birds can fly freely, and you can make a home anywhere.
At this time——
The Chen clan leader raised his head and shouted:
"Bring the guilty woman to the palace!"
The voice echoed a few times in the spacious hall and gradually faded away. Two guards dressed in black with swords on their waists walked in, escorting more than a dozen criminal girls.
Without exception, they were all wearing shackles and fetters, looking miserable.
Even so, their graceful figures and beautiful faces, even under their tattered clothes, still attract people's attention.
Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
These women were all relatives of nobles who had offended the Chen family in the past and were framed and imprisoned. Among them were daughters of merchants, daughters of officials, and princesses of the empire.
Marrying a wife and choosing a concubine is a good thing.
But if you marry a wife like this without absolute power to control her, you will easily suffer backlash.
His eyes moved to the tall woman in the front with her head held high.
Her round and straight buttocks were extremely dazzling under her tattered clothes, and her upright breasts and unyielding face made her stand out in the crowd.
Li Xiuning, a princess of the enemy country Tang.
She is a woman of great wealth and her outstanding temperament also proves her noble status. Because she rashly entered the big gun and accidentally injured a member of the Chen family, she was arrested and imprisoned by the Chen family.
Later, after learning the other party's identity, the Chen family was worried about retaliation and tried to cover up the matter.
Only the Chen family knew about this.
Chen Xuan frowned slightly. Logically speaking, such an extremely dangerous person should not be selected as a criminal woman to be chosen as a wife.
How did you get here?
His gaze inevitably fell to the left side of the hall, where a young man in the crowd was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had poisonous eyes.
Got it.
It was all caused by the brother Chen Tian who had been provoked before.
It seems that the other party wants to use Li Xiuning to kill himself!
Chen Xuan couldn't help but shake his head secretly.
This is not about laying mines for him, but about giving Li Xiuning and the Tang Dynasty behind him as a dowry and a backing for him!
The Chen clan leader sat back in the main seat and said calmly:
"Chen Xuan, according to the clan rules, you can choose one wife and three concubines. Once you have chosen, you cannot change your mind or regret it, otherwise you will be sentenced to death."
"Now, let's get started."
"Yeah." Chen Xuan responded, and under the envious gazes of his clansmen, he walked up to a dozen criminal girls and looked at them carefully.
The sinful women lowered their heads in shame and humiliation, and looked at Chen Xuan in front of them with some trepidation.
For them, as criminals, they have been sentenced to death in this life. Even if they do not die, they will be treated as playthings and abused by the Chen clan.
Chen Xuan touched his chin.
They are all so beautiful, each with its own characteristics.
You can only choose four, what a hard decision!
suddenly.
Li Xiuning, who was at the front, spat on the ground, her pretty face turned cold, and she said with disgust: "Lowly rubbish, I am the Princess Pingyang of the Tang Dynasty. If you dare to touch me, I will ask my father to exterminate all your clans!"
As soon as she finished her threatening words, the Chen clan leader's eyes fixed and he glanced at the guards behind her, who moved at the sound.
The whip hit her hard on the back.
“Bang!”
The prison uniform was torn, revealing the delicate skin to the air, with a red mark slowly appearing.
The guard said coldly: "The Chen family cannot be insulted, they must be executed!"
As he spoke, he cracked the whip again.
“Bang!”
Chen Xuan took two steps forward, grabbed the whip, turned to look at the Chen clan leader, and said, "Clan leader, I choose her as my wife."
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
"Is this kid crazy? Li Xiuning is a princess of the Tang Dynasty. The forces behind her are complicated. If you choose her, you will die!"
"That's right, although this woman is pretty, she's not easy to mess with."
"She's not as good as the old lady at the back. Even though she's older, at least she's safe!"
Patriarch Chen couldn't help but look a little grim when he heard what his clan members said.
"Are you sure that she is a Tang princess? Once you choose her as your wife, if the news leaks out, you..."
Chen Xuan cupped his hands and said, "Confirmed!"
The Chen clan leader shook his head in disappointment when he heard this, "It's up to you. I've already chosen my wife, so let's choose the remaining three concubines next."
