Why do I have the lowest fighting ability among the whole family?

Chapter 231 Bullying me because my father is gone

Seeing the woman's indifferent expression, Chen Guojiu was almost so angry that he lost all reason on the spot.

Ignoring the fact that Chen Yaozu was still lying on the bed, dying, Chen Guojiu raised his hand angrily and slapped the woman on the face with a loud slap.

"You dare me to hit me?" The woman immediately screamed: "How dare you hit me?"

"You have long hair but short knowledge!" Chen Guojiu gritted his teeth.

"Short-sighted! Sooner or later, my Chen family's fortune will be ruined by you——"

But the woman refused to give in and immediately retorted sharply.

"My surname is Chen! What do you mean? Have you forgotten how you knelt down in front of my father and begged me to marry you? I have taken care of your family and raised children for you for so many years. I have worked hard without any credit, right? It's better now. Don’t you just want to bully me because my father is gone?”

Seeing her unreasonable driving, Chen Guojiu closed his eyes tiredly.

Trying to escape the mess in front of me.

But the woman thought he had given up, so she grabbed Chen Guojiu's clothes and dragged him up to seek justice in front of His Majesty.

And poor Chen Yaozu was bandaged like a mummy and was just forgotten on the bed.

Uncle Chen Guo didn't want to make things so tense, and tried to sit down and reason with the woman, but the woman thought he had the upper hand and refused to let her go.

In the end, the matter finally came before the emperor.

But not only the emperor, but also Pei Shao, who injured his hand, stood aside with his eyes blinking, looking harmless.

Seeing the posture of a three-party interrogation, and the woman standing in front of him as arrogant as a victorious rooster, he closed his eyes in despair, with a posture that was a bit broken.

"How are you doing, Uncle Chen Guo?" The emperor's voice was calm. Although he said he was concerned about him, Chen Guojiu could sense some strangeness in it.

And the woman really didn't understand the twists and turns here. Seeing that the first thing the emperor said was concern for Chen Guojiu, her heart immediately went off the alarm, and she fell to her knees on the ground before Chen Guojiu, crying. Ground.

"Your Majesty, please make the decision for me! My wife has been married to him for so many years. She considers herself to be filial to her mother-in-law and takes care of the housework. She has toiled hard even without any merit, but he is an uncle of the country! After my father died, he felt that no one could help me. Support me, how dare you bully me!"

The woman said extremely indignantly.

The words that Uncle Chen Guojiu wanted to say were blocked, and he could only close his eyes in despair.

He immediately knelt down in the main hall and spoke firmly.

"Your Majesty, she is just a housewife and has no foresight. Today, she has brought trouble to the Emperor over this family matter. Please ask the Emperor to atone for her sins..."

Before Uncle Chen Guo finished speaking, he was immediately interrupted by the woman yelling.

The emperor looked at Chen Guojiu and his wife who were kneeling in front of them and couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Chen Aiqing, is this Mrs. Chen?"

Chen Guojiu bowed his head and said yes.

The emperor frowned slightly.

Although he has been in office for so long, this is the first time he has met Mrs. Chen today.

The dignified wife of my uncle is actually as noisy as a shrew in the market.

Coupled with the fact that Mr. Chen intended to murder Pei Shao, the emperor became more and more displeased with Mr. Chen and his wife.

"Your Majesty, this one in Weichen's family is really spoiled by Weichen, to the point of being a little lawless. Please forgive her this time for the sake of Weichen's dedicated service to the court over the years."

Chen Guojiu hurriedly begged for mercy.

He saw the dark meaning in the emperor's eyes, and when he thought of the half-dead Chen Yaozu who was still lying on the bed, Chen Guojiu closed his eyes.

The emperor did not speak, but glanced at Chen Guojiu with an unclear meaning, and then turned his eyes to the woman beside him who was dressed in gorgeous clothes and looked a little uneasy at the moment.

"Mrs. Chen, do you have anything to say?" The woman raised her head in confusion. She was still arrogant just now, but now she looked at the emperor and didn't know how to speak.

She only knew that her husband dared to hit her, so she got angry and went to the emperor, hoping that the emperor would teach her husband a lesson.

But as for how to speak, she actually had no idea at all.

The emperor was not in a hurry, and just looked at the two of them with a half-smile, his eyes were heavy and his mood could not be seen.

"My wife... My wife..." Mrs. Chen spoke, and then she realized that her voice was trembling.

She didn't know what to say, so she could only stop talking with an embarrassed expression.

"What do you say."

The emperor turned his eyes to Chen Guojiu who was aside.

Uncle Chen Guo felt a cold sweat break out on his forehead.

In the end, he gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, I really don't know how high the sky is. That's why I got into trouble in front of Your Majesty. This woman is ignorant. Please give her a chance to atone for her sins..."

"Oh? Is the woman ignorant?"

The emperor sneered: "Ignorant woman? But I don't think she is ignorant at all... If she can discipline Mr. Chen so well, I think she still has some abilities."

This is what it means to pursue Master Chen's matter.

Uncle Chen Guo closed his eyes, and cold sweat poured down his forehead.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, don't worry. He is a child and is ignorant. I will discipline him well when I go back. I also ask your Majesty to let my wife and Quanzi live a life together..."

The emperor did not answer, but turned around and asked, "How is Queen Chen Xian at home?"

A few days ago, all the concubines of the third prince had been sent home, and Queen Chen was certainly no exception.

Although the third prince took the throne through unfair means, they were the only two heirs of the late emperor.

If he dealt harshly with the third prince, he would definitely leave a bad reputation as a murderer.

We can only let the third prince guard the imperial mausoleum to atone for his sins.

The third prince and his concubines were too numerous to count, so they had no choice but to let them all go home.

Seeing the emperor suddenly mention Empress Chen, Chen Guojiu broke into a cold sweat.

He knew that things could not go well today.

The emperor glanced at Pei Shao, who was standing aside and watching silently, with a soft smile in his eyes.

"Mr. Chen intended to murder Princess Zhaohua. Such an unpardonable crime is really the responsibility of the Chen family's upbringing! In this case,... the title of Mrs. Chen's royal decree will be deprived of her and she will be demoted to a commoner."

Seeing that the emperor did not mention him, Chen Guojiu couldn't help but feel happy.

It's okay if his son is gone. He is now in his prime, and having a few more children won't be a problem.

But he was not happy for long.

The emperor's next words came soon after his turn.

"Since Empress Chen... no, Miss Chen has returned home now, she has nothing to do with the royal family. In this case, it is also against the rules to always shout Chen Guojiu Chen Guojiu, but you are mine after all. My dear, if that’s the case, then you can go to the Ministry of Rites and become a minister.”

The emperor made the final decision, and Chen Shilang's face turned earth-colored.
