Chapter 424 Threat
Chen Meihua immediately turned to look at Yun Zhao.
Yun Zhao gave Xie Jingmo a look, and Xie Jingmo kicked him away. Chen Meihua immediately hurried in.
Chen Guangzhi had been at home all the time, but this morning, a small note suddenly appeared on the table at home.
It said: If you want your daughter to get a divorce smoothly, come to my house. Remember, don't let anyone know your whereabouts, otherwise...
There was no more to say after that.
But his words were full of threats.
Chen Guangzhi opened the secret passage in his home and came to the Regent's Palace.
He lingered at the door.
While thinking about Yun Zhao's words, he was worried about Chen Meihua's future.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and walked into the Regent's Palace.
Because, in his heart, now that Chen Meihua is married to Mu Chengyan, the divorce is a family matter.
No matter how capable Yun Zhao is, he cannot take charge of the Chen family's affairs.
Besides, Yun Zhao’s health is not as good as before, so he is not sure what he can do for Chen Meihua.
"What do you want in order to divorce my daughter?"
Mu Chengyan sat on the chair with a faint smile on his face. "Whether it's a divorce, or divorce, or spending the rest of my life in the Prince Regent's Palace, that all depends on how much sincerity Master Chen can show me."
When Chen Guangzhi heard this, the flesh on his face trembled.
Mu Chengyan looked at Chen Guangzhi and laughed sarcastically. "If a woman is divorced, the whole family will be ridiculed. If I remember correctly, there are still several unmarried girls in the Chen family, right? Of course, if Lord Chen is cruel enough, then let Chen Meihua stay in the shogunate. Lord Chen, don't worry. Although the shogunate is not as wealthy as the Chen family, there are still some leftovers every day. Of course, I will also give her a woodshed so that she can spend the rest of her life in peace."
As soon as these words were spoken.
All Chen Guangzhi could think of was Chen Meihua, shivering in the woodshed due to hunger and cold.
As a father, how could I tolerate this?
"What exactly do you want?" Chen Guangzhi clenched his fists and looked at Mu Chengyan coldly.
Mu Chengyan smiled softly. "What do I want? Isn't Lord Chen the one who knows best? A woman must obey her husband after marriage. Your daughter's future depends on my thoughts. Lord Chen, if I were you, I wouldn't ask you what you want. I'd ask myself: what can I do to save my daughter, who was raised in luxury?"
Chen Guangzhi clenched his fists.
Mu Chengyan laughed, "Master Chen, opportunities won't always be in front of you. Why do you still have to think about it for so long?"
Chen Guangzhi pursed his lips for a long time. "I can hand over all the property in the hands of the Chen family. In addition, I can also help you organize the people I have won over these days. In the future, if you need other support, my Chen family will naturally serve you."
Chen Guangzhi was unwilling, but there was nothing he could do. Chen Meihua's future was firmly in Mu Chengyan's hands.
Mu Chengyu smiled softly, "How much can the Chen family's assets really be?"
"Chen Guangzhi, are you playing dumb with me here?"
"I want all the assets and real estate under Chen Meihua's name, of course, including the Chen family's. In addition, you must continue to maintain relationships with those who have been won over in the court. Everyone in the Chen family will be at my disposal in the future."
Chen Guangzhi frowned, "I'm already very wealthy. I can't make decisions for Meihua regarding her money."
Chen Guangzhi has selfish motives here.
If a divorced woman wants to live a good life in the future, she must have money.
If you have money and find a good husband, you can stand up straight.
Even if she can't find a good man, the money Chen Meihua earns is enough for her to live a carefree life.
In Chen Guangzhi's view, it was not just money, but all the confidence that Chen Meihua would have in the future.
Chen Guangzhi looked at Mu Chengyan and pleaded, "The dowry that Meihua brought has already added a lot to the shogunate. The Chen family is rich and powerful, and it is enough for you to ascend to the throne. Why do you have to be so concerned about the little money in the hands of a little woman?"
Chen Guangzhi spoke earnestly, "Besides, it wouldn't sound good to tell others that you took so many things from Meihua, right?"
During the time she was married to Mucheng Yan, Chen Meihua became a laughing stock in the entire Kyoto.
Now, if they want a divorce, Mu Chengyan will have to skin Chen Meihua in the ass.
Chen Guangzhi felt aggrieved about this matter.
"Then there won't be a divorce," Mu Chengyan said nonchalantly. "To me, it doesn't matter whether we divorce or not. If there's no divorce, I can use Chen Meihua's money and naturally won't be laughed at. Father-in-law, thank you for reminding me."
Chen Guangzhi's old face turned red with anger.
He glared at Mu Chengyan fiercely and said coldly, "Mu Chengyan, don't push me too far. Even rabbits bite when they are pushed into a corner."
Besides, Chen Guangzhi has never been a rabbit.
Mu Chengyan smiled, leaned back in his chair, his expression indifferent.
"Really? Then I'd really like to see how a rabbit bites when it's anxious."
Chen Guangzhi narrowed his eyes. "Now the money you use to gather the people in the court is all paid by the Chen family. If I don't pay this money, what will you do?"
"Besides, I am the late emperor's uncle. He is gone, but some people in the court still say that his death was suspicious. If you don't divorce me, I will tell everyone that it was you who killed the emperor and forced him to write the edict of succession. Then you will see whether you can still sit on the throne!"
"Mu Chengyan, we are all human beings. I originally wanted to live in peace with you, but you insisted on forcing me!"
"Now you have two choices. Either you divorce my daughter, and I will stick to my previous words. I can give you all the Chen family's property."
"Or, I will make everything public and then see if you can still do your job as the regent safely."
Mu Chengyan sneered, "If I can't be the regent, then your daughter can't be the mistress of the regent's palace. She will never be able to break away from me in her life, nor will she be able to get a divorce."
This was what Chen Guangzhi was initially worried about.
But when two sides confront each other, they cannot show weakness, because what they are competing for is who is more ruthless.
He gritted his teeth and said, "When that time comes, I will take my daughter home and raise her. I will support her for the rest of her life!"
When Mu Chengyan heard this, his eyes gradually became more threatening.
He slowly narrowed his eyes and walked towards Chen Guangzhi step by step.
"What did you say?!" Mu Chengyan's voice was very low, tinged with obvious murderous intent. "Since Lord Chen is so courageous, it seems that I can't let you go today."
Chen Guangzhi's eyes widened suddenly when he heard this. "How dare you? I'm an official appointed by the imperial court! How dare you touch me?!"
"Why not?" Mu Chengyan sneered, "Who knew you were here? Who saw you coming here?"
