Upon hearing this, Chen Jinran picked up a pot of tea from the table, clinked it against Chen Jinheng's, and said self-deprecatingly,
"Hehe, little brother, you're joking. I know my own body; I probably don't have much time left."
Chen Jinheng felt a heaviness in his heart. He stopped what he was doing, grabbed Chen Jinran's wrist, and said with a serious expression,
"Don't worry, brother. Once I return in triumph, I will definitely find the antidote for you!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Jinran's eyes lit up with joy, and he laughed heartily.
"Good! As expected of my brother Chen Jinran, you have ambition!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Jinheng raised the sake in his hand above his head, then tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.
"Jinheng, I heard that the Lady of the Marquis intends to hand over the management of the household affairs to your sister-in-law. Your sister-in-law will be very busy now!"

"She hasn't been in the household for long, and I think it's good that she can get along with my sister-in-law."
"Jinheng, I've heard that my sister-in-law is quite something!"
Chen Jinheng's eyes narrowed slightly. He picked up a chess piece and toyed with it in his hand, asking suspiciously,

"It is said that she was once married to the Second Prince, and the Gu family originally intended to marry her younger sister to you."
Chen Jinheng placed a chess piece down and casually admitted, "That is indeed the case."
"Then you'd better be very careful. That second prince is extremely cunning and likes to cultivate assassins..."
"Heh, he's crippled and weak now, what is there to fear?"
Seeing his calm expression, Chen Jinran frowned and hesitated to make a move for a long time.
"Big brother, it's your turn," Chen Jinheng reminded him.
Upon hearing the question, Chen Jinran snapped out of her reverie, staring intently at the chessboard for a long while before slowly replying,
In short, it's best to be cautious.
"Yes, I will."
Chen Jinheng's eyes gleamed. He picked up a piece from the chess box beside him and placed it down. The victory was already secured.
When it comes to strategic maneuvering, you're definitely better!
"Brother, you flatter me!"
