Evil Crown Prince’s Stunning Wife - C267

Liu Xinyue knew that what Chen Jiahe had just said was probably true, and now that Chen Jiamu had retorted, he probably had many concerns, and did not want others to know about this.

Thinking about the current state of the Chen Family, Liu Xinyue knew the reason why Chen Jiamu did this.

Chen Jiamu was a good person, but as for whether they could get to know each other, he would continue watching.

“Sir Chen, don’t worry. I was too distracted to hear what Young Noble Chen has to say.” Since Chen Jiamu didn’t want him to know about this, then he might as well pretend that he didn’t hear anything.

“I wonder if Mister Chen can make little gongzi repeat it again?” Liu Xinyue asked with an apologetic smile.

Hearing Liu Xinyue’s answer, Chen Jiamu looked at her twice before laughing: “Nothing much, just now, my brother was just joking around. It’s fine if he doesn’t hear it.”

He never thought that this Huo Zhongxi in front of him would actually cooperate with what he had just said, but this person was too coordinated too smoothly, could it be that he had some other goal?

“So that’s how it is. Then it’s fine.” Seeing that, Liu Xinyue laughed and responded.

In terms of Chen Family, when Chen Jiamu was still young, it was around ten years ago. Even though it couldn’t be considered as covering the sky with one hand in the capital, it was a clan with status and authority.

Their Chen Family and spices shop was famous for being loved by the upper class people of the capital. The common folk medicines they released afterwards were widely spread throughout the country.

The Chen Family at that time could be said to be said to be a joyous occasion, and outsiders would only be jealous to the point of not taking it.

But, maybe it was because the Chen Family was too publicized at that time, or maybe it was because the Patriarch of Chen Family, Chen Dongsheng, had retired to his fields and handed his clan’s business to his second son, which caused his eldest son, who had inherited his Chen Family and culinary arts, to leave home in displeasure, or maybe there were other factors that no one else knew about.

Just like that, the Chen Family suddenly started to go downhill. If the family’s spice shop had bad quality spices, they would often be found by those ruffians to cause trouble.

Afterwards, because some big shot’s daughter used the Chen Family’s spices, he suddenly died from poisoning, and because of this sudden death of his daughter, that big shot used his power and powers to instigate a huge revenge on the Chen Family, which caused a lot of people to be captured and a lot of people to die.

Even though the great man had been suspended for abuse of power, and had even been stabbed in the back by his enemies and sent to exile on the frontier by the emperor.

But afterwards, the cause of the Chen Family was basically the same. It fell from heaven to hell in an instant.

In this hell, Chen Family could be said to rely on the connections left behind during the time of glory, and the favors that were still willing to help them.

They struggled like this for nearly ten years before the incident that happened to Chen Family slowly faded out of people’s memories. Only then did they have the strength to crawl out from hell and return to the human world.

Later on, Chen Family spent a huge sum of money to rent a shop at the very end of the business street in the capital.

Originally, a situation like Chen Family should have been kicked out of the ten great families long ago. However, because of the background of Chen Family, the Patriarch of Chen Family, Chen Dongsheng, was still not dead.

Therefore, after a round of discussion, the other nine families decided to give the Chen Family a year of time to inspect, and didn’t kick their Chen Family out for the time being.

And these ten years of observation would just happen to be the time of the ten great clans’ selection every ten years, at that time, it just just so happened that everyone could come to evaluate them, and whether or not Chen Family would stay or leave, at that time, it would not be up to them to decide.

This year, it was the final year of the expedition.

As for Chen Jiamu, he received an olive branch from the state advisor during the most difficult year of Chen Family, in order to take him in as a disciple. It was also during this year, that his clan master and father hanged themselves from under pressure, and his family’s uncles all fled one after another. The girls also escaped back to their families.

Under such a situation, the young him looked at the clan which was about to fall apart and stood up bravely. He cruelly refused state advisor and chose to sit in the position of Patriarch instead, putting this burden of restoring glory to his weak and frail body.

And the facts proved that letting Chen Jiamu become Patriarch was the most correct choice they had made. And Chen Jiamu did not choose state advisor, but chose the clan instead.

At that time, little Chen Jiamu had also started to reveal his talent in business. Relying on his own talent, as well as the disciples from the families that he had left behind, he allowed the Chen Family and spices shop in the capital to once again open up in a short span of three years.

At the same time, these three years had also allowed Chen Jiamu to quickly separate from his body and grow. From an innocent child, he had turned into a mature man who had suffered all the coldness and warmth of the world.

In the following year, Chen Jiamu chose not to expand and instead, stabilized his spice shop. Only after the spice shop’s foundation was firm again, would their Chen Family rise again.

Now, in this fifth year, Chen Family’s spice shop was already under Chen Jiamu’s lead, and could be said to have a firm foundation, allowing them to once again have a stable customer base. It was also the time to develop new spice varieties, and prepare for the annual ten great families selection.

And this time’s wan chun tang auction, was the most important target for Chen Jiamu.

Actually, he did not think that wan chun tang would send him an invitation at all, not to mention that he had already decided long ago that he would follow his friends in when the time came.

He just did not expect the wan chun tang to send someone to deliver an invitation letter to him. How could this not make Chen Jiamu happy? After all, even if one went with a friend, one would still have to pay a huge financial price. After all, the auction this time had already been announced in advance, and an invitation letter could only bring up to five people.

Every single placing was exceptionally precious. Even if Chen Jiamu had gone there as a friend, in order to not make things difficult for his friend, he had agreed to give them a certain amount of wealth.

However, with the invitation from wan chun tang personally, a large amount of expenses would be saved.
