C377 Never Regret
"All right, you don't have to explain!" Matriarch Chen interrupted him and turned around to look into his eyes. "Now that things have come to this, I'll only ask you one question. Che'er, do you regret it?"
Chen Che was slightly startled. His entire person suddenly became incomparably firm. He said, "I have never regretted it!"
At the same time, Soong Wuji and the rest had already returned to the Imperial Residence. Seeing that the two servants of the Chen Mansion had already left, one of the guards couldn't help but ask. "May I ask, Your Highness? We could have captured Chen Che just now to punish him, but why did you suddenly stop at the last moment? Isn't it like letting the tiger go back to the mountain? "
"Letting the tiger go back to the mountain?" Soong Wuji shook his head in disdain and said, "In my eyes, it is at most a cat that knows how to bite. However, the enemy is the enemy after all, and we cannot afford to lose him. Even if it is just a weed, it must be completely removed from its roots. The reason why the King of Japan didn't pursue the matter with him today wasn't because he wanted to give face to the Chen family. He was just waiting for an even better opportunity to strike. "
"But. . . Isn't this the best time?" The guard was puzzled. "Didn't many people witness the intimacy between that kid from the Chen family and Son of Misfortune? Why don't we use this as an excuse to kill that kid as well?"
Soong Wuji sneered and said, "It won't be that easy. Do you think that old bastard from the Chen family will watch his only grandson fall into our hands? Don't forget. That old bastard still had something that could save his life in his hand. As long as that thing was still in the hands of the Chen family. . . We won't be able to kill Chen Che. "
The guards and the others suddenly realized something. At this moment, one of them said in a low voice: "Your Royal Highness, why don't we just let this matter rest? Tonight, we will send someone to sneak into the Chen Mansion. . . "
"No need. " Soong Wuji waved his hand and interrupted him. "If my guess is correct, the Chen family will settle this themselves. "
After saying that, Soong Wuji turned around and looked in the direction of the Chen Mansion with a smile.
"Chen, between my family and my grandson, which one do you think is more important?"
. . .
"Never regretted it. . . "
Matriarch Chen was stunned. Both of them were silent. After a long time, Matriarch Chen walked out of the ancestral hall step by step with the golden staff in her hand.
"Fine. Since this is the path you insist on taking, why should I stop you? After all, it has always been difficult to have a perfect relationship with each other in this world. Whether it is Su Xiaoxiao or the foundation of Chen family, no matter what choice you make, I only hope that you will not disappoint your original heart. There will always be a beginning and an end. "
When he heard this, Chen Che immediately broke into tears. He replied while choking with sobs, "I. . . Will remember this!"
Only then did Matriarch Chen nod her head and walk away with heavy steps. Not long after, she left. A voice rang out from the Chen Mansion, although it was not loud. The information it revealed could be said to be earth-shattering.
"From now on, if Chen Che dares to take a step out of the Chen Mansion, he will no longer be a member of the Chen family. No matter what he does in the future, or what grudges he has, it will be his personal matter. It has nothing to do with the Chen Mansion!"
Chen Che, on the other hand, had already knelt on the ground and sobbed silently. "Thank you, grandma. . . For fulfilling my wish. Forgive me for being unfilial, but I can only repay you for raising me in my next life!"
After saying that, he gave three kowtows to the ancestral memorial tablet of the Chen family. After that, Chen Che stood up from the ground. He walked with vigorous steps, and his eyes were like a torch. Step by step, he walked to the outer circle of the Chen Mansion.
"Young master!"
Seeing that Chen Che was about to take the last step, the servant girl, Chun Hong, who had been serving him until now, couldn't help but shout out. Immediately after that, all the servants and maids spoke out one after another. "Young Master, don't leave!"
"Young Master, come back quickly!"
"Young master, don't leave us!"
. . .
Chen Che could only swallow all the sadness in his heart as he listened to the words of the crowd that kept urging him to stay. He smiled bitterly and said to himself, "I'm sorry, everyone. Forgive my selfishness. I don't deserve to be your young master. I am just a madman who is willing to sacrifice everything for a woman, that's all. . . "
After saying that, Chen Che took a step out of the Chen Mansion and left without any hesitation. The servants and maidservants of the Chen Mansion were about to chase after him when they heard Matriarch Chen berating them, "All of you, stop right there!"
Everyone immediately stood on the spot. Chunhong looked in the direction where Chen Che had left and cried for a moment. She said in a hoarse voice, "But young master, he. . . He will never come back. . . "
"Why are you crying? Let him go!" Matriarch Chen held the golden staff with no sadness or joy on her face, but her light voice sounded more powerful than any other time. She said, "It has been three years, I have never seen young master Chen straighten his chest like today!"
The drastic changes that happened in the Chen Mansion had spread across the entire Bianjing City. At first, people were skeptical, but when they saw Chen Che walk out of the Chen Mansion alone with his sword in hand, they finally realized what had happened. Perhaps it was not a joke at all.
Chen Che, the only descendant of the Chen family, seemed to have been kicked out of the family.
When the news spread, it immediately caused a huge commotion in Bianjing City. Many people smelled a conspiracy from it.
Among them, the people of the Imperial Residence were the most anxious. The assassins drew their weapons at the first possible moment. They were just short of Soong Wuji's order to kill their way out of the Imperial Residence at any time. However, Soong Wuji merely took a light sip of tea in response to this. He said, "There's no hurry. We naturally have to choose a time when the moon is high and the wind is strong. Let's let that kid live for a while longer. "
"Lord, you have great foresight, we admire you!" The guards praised sincerely when they saw this.
Soong Wuji shook his head and stood up slowly. His eyes became deep and he said, "You can pick it up and put it down. Morning, you really didn't disappoint me. "
At the same time, Chen Che walked into the city. His heart had changed from the initial grief to calmness. Feeling the faint killing intent in the air, Chen Che couldn't help but smile with an indescribable calmness.
The sky quickly darkened. Countless lights gradually lit up in the surroundings. Chen Che rested in an unknown inn in the city. He seemed to be quietly waiting for something.
At this moment, Soong Wuji gently knocked on the table a few times and said, "Go. " Dozens of men in black carrying weapons rushed out from behind him. They quietly rushed to a place in the city.
The curtains of a killing trap finally began.
When these people thought that they could pass by the Chen Mansion without leaving any traces behind, Matriarch Chen suddenly opened her eyes from the bed. At the same time, a graceful figure slowly walked out from the darkness.
"It is for Young Master. Do you want this servant to take care of them now?" The female clearly had a killing intent. Her peak Mid Period of Attack Stopping Stage cultivation base was unintentionally revealed.
"No need!" Matriarch Chen rejected the woman's suggestion and said in an unquestionable tone, "It's better not to alert the enemy. I think Che'er has already arranged everything. Let's just wait and see. "
The woman replied with a "yes," and disappeared into the darkness once again. The room was silent for a moment, as if nothing had happened.
At this moment, the dozens of well-trained men in black finally stopped in an inconspicuous small shop in the city.
They thought they had concealed their killing intent very well. Little did they know that the moment they landed on the ground, Chen Che suddenly stood up from the bed in shock. He smiled and said, "You're finally here?"
