Chapter 469: Chapter 280: Retaliate against me? Great!_2

Lin Wanyun had thought that upon hearing of Chen Wanrong’s calamity caused by Lu Chen, the Honorable would rush to Yan County to harass Lu Chen. Unexpectedly, not only did the Honorable not trouble Lu Chen, they even agreed to their union.

Lu Chen said, “Rongrong also mentioned in the letter that her master said if I have talent, her master is even considering taking me as a disciple.”

Lin Wanyun excitedly said, “If that’s the case, then nothing could be better. In this way, the relationship between you and Rongrong will be justified.”

If Lu Chen became the Honorable’s disciple, then Lu Chen would be one of Mysterious Moon Palace’s own. With Chen Wanrong choosing a partner from within Mysterious Moon Palace, surely no one in the palace would object anymore, right?

At this point, Lu Chen, looking at the letter in his hands, fell into deep thought. To be honest, he couldn’t be certain whether the contents of the letter were true, for he had never seen Chen Wanrong’s handwriting. Moreover, Chen Wanrong was still at Mysterious Moon Palace. He didn’t know whether she had been imprisoned or not, and since the letter was sent from Mysterious Moon Palace, it could also have been written by someone else using Chen Wanrong’s name.

With this in mind, Lu Chen handed the letter to Lin Wanyun and said, “Madam Lin, could you see if the handwriting on this letter is Rongrong’s?”

Upon hearing Lu Chen’s question, Lin Wanyun instantly understood his concerns.

She promptly took the letter from Lu Chen’s hand, glanced over it, and said, “This is indeed Rongrong’s handwriting.”

Lu Chen continued, “Did you ask the disciples of Mysterious Moon Palace about Rongrong’s current situation there?”

Lin Wanyun answered, “I did. The disciples of Mysterious Moon Palace told me that after Rongrong returned, she met with the Honorable alone several times. It seems the Honorable hasn’t punished her. She is still the Palace Master of Mysterious Moon Palace, and she is currently managing all affairs within the palace.”

Lu Chen thought to himself that since Chen Wanrong’s master had not punished her, did that mean the content of the letter was most likely true?

Was Chen Wanrong’s master truly enlightened?

They actually agreed to their union so readily; he had thought her master would be extremely angry.

Lin Wanyun could see what Lu Chen was worried about and followed up, “In fact, it’s not surprising that the Honorable agreed. When your mother married the Sum Emperor, she was initially opposed to it but ended up having to agree in the end.”

“You and Rongrong have ‘cooked the raw rice’ already; what has happened has happened. Her opposition at this point would be pointless, so it’s normal for her to agree to your union.”

Lu Chen said, “That’s also true.”

However, Lu Chen still had some concerns, and he inquired to Lin Wanyun, “What kind of person is Rongrong’s master?”

In response to this question, Lin Wanyun did not know how to answer right away. She pondered for a moment, then said, “A true fairy.”

Lu Chen said with a smile, “I mean, what is her personality like?”

Lin Wanyun answered, “I haven’t seen her many times and don’t particularly understand her. However, I’ve heard from Rongrong that the Honorable is quite a strict person.”

Lu Chen thought to himself, well, anyway, Chen Wanrong’s master would be coming to Yan County sooner or later. He’d face the trouble when it came. By then, he would know what kind of person Chen Wanrong’s master was.

He wasn’t too keen on conflict with Mysterious Moon Palace, after all. Given that the palace possessed a weapon capable of destroying an entire mountain peak, the Honorable’s background must not be simple. If direct conflict with Mysterious Moon Palace were to arise, the North Country might not be able to defeat them.

At that moment, Lin Wanyun continued, “Chen’er, if there is nothing else, I will go ahead and leave. You continue with your work.”

Lu Chen, coming back to his senses, said, “Hmm, alright.”

After Lin Wanyun turned around and left the study, Lu Chen also rose from his seat and went back to the main hall for dinner.

After dinner, Lu Chen’s wives went their separate ways, each returning to their own rooms.

Chu Yuqin and Chu Qingli also returned to the courtyard where they stayed. Chu Qingli couldn’t help thinking that now her sister had spoiled the scoundrel’s progeny, that scoundrel probably wouldn’t be spending the night in her sister’s room anymore, so she decided to stay with Chu Yuqin for the night.

Chu Yuqin didn’t say much, and after the two sisters entered the room, Chu Qingli curiously asked, “Sister, what does it feel like to be pregnant?”

Upon hearing this question, Chu Yuqin smiled and then said, “When you also carry Chen’er’s child, won’t you know what it feels like to be pregnant?”

As she said this, Chu Yuqin teased, “Qingli, you’re suddenly asking me this question – could it be that you want to have a child?”

Chu Qingli hastened to say, “I don’t want to bear that scoundrel’s child at all, I’m just asking casually.”

“As for you, sister, you’re already married to him, you’re now his woman, and still you call him ‘Chen’er’ every time. Don’t you feel ashamed?”

Hearing this from Chu Qingli, Chu Yuqin’s face flushed slightly. She had been married to Lu Chen for some time now and, although she had thought about changing how she addressed Lu Chen, for some reason, every time she addressed him, she couldn’t help but call him “Chen’er.”

The key point was that no one in the Prince’s Mansion corrected this form of address, so she had unconsciously continued to use it without realizing. Although she was already married to Lu Chen, she still looked like an elder to Lu Chen in the mansion.
