Bad End
(Sorry State/ Downfall)
Waiting until Butler Zhou was led out, Chen Lao Ye sat back to his seat, staring at the not far away beaded made from pearls and jade curtain, thought of the words that just said by the steward Zhou, to said that not greed or covet over Chen Xing’s recipes is false, after all, the discerning person knows the huge benefits.
Moreover, their Chen family business these years actually was not so bright like it was seen from the surface, difficult to maintain, only able to stay at its original level, but if you want to go further, that is very difficult.
Thought of Chen Xing that cowardly concubine’s son, as well as Gu Lang that useless sickly scholar, Chen Lao Ye’s eyes issued hawks and falcons—brutal or fierce people’s general enlightenment, he now suddenly feel that the implementation of the plan said by the steward Zhou is also not bad, but he has to do more than Steward Zhou and be a little more thorough.
Thinking of this, Chen Lao Ye’s face revealed an excited mind, and immediately called the subordinate to go and call the deputy steward to come here, because he has things to command.
But while waiting for the deputy steward to come, Madam Chen stepped into his study room first.
Madam Chen entered the study room and saw the maid who was cleaning up the mess on the floor, as well as Chen Lao Ye who was sitting on the top and thinking about things, relate it with the steward Zhou’s downfall (sorry state) that she heard just now, she roughly guessed what had just happened here.
Madam Chen didn’t ask anything, ignoring the chaos around her, carrying the tray in her hand, all smiling as she walked over in the direction of Chen Lao Ye, “Master, I’ve stewed chicken soup for you, try it and see if it suits your taste or not.”
Looking at the madam in front of him, smelling the aroma of chicken soup in the air, Chen Lao Ye who was still tense just now, could not help but relax a little, looking at her and gently said: “Madam’s homemade soup, there is no reason that it does not suit my appetite.”
As Chen Lao Ye said this, while taking the chicken soup from Madam Chen’s hand, he opened the lid and drank up.
Madam Chen looked at Chen Lao Ye drinking with relish, the smile on his face was deeper and deeper, Chen Lao Ye almost finished drinking it, she timely hand over the handkerchief, when wiping in his mouth and softly said: “Master, these days I see Ling’er and the second young master of Zhao Family’s get along do not seem to be very happy, do you think that we should change the selected person for marriage (form an alliance by marriage)?”
Upon hearing this, Chen Lao Ye’s originally cheerful face, immediately collapsed again, looked to Madam Chen beside him with some dissatisfaction: ” how can Ling Er be so egoist? This entire county inside and outside, where there is a more suitable candidate than the Zhao family’s second young master? Not only is his character pure and good, but also he is the first son by the legal wife although he can not inherit the family business, he has a lot of properties.”
Madam Chen beside him listening to Master Chen’s praising the Zhao’s second young master so he couldn’t help but think of her daughter’s tearfully complain, she said that not only was the Zhao family’s second son was stupid as a pig and couldn’t even understand the sarcasm of others, but his body was even bigger than hers, large and firm-fleshed; that one of him would be able to take care of four of her. If she were to marry this man, she might as well die.
“If she were not the daughter of my Chen family, how could she be qualified to approach that Zhao family’s young master? Now it’s not a matter of whether she likes the Zhao family’s son or not, it’s a matter of whether the Zhao family’s young master dislikes her or not!”
“You, as her mother, you need to teach her well. The matter of forming a marriage’s main content is not about temperament, if she can not restrain her temperament and please the Zhao family’s young master’s favor and successfully join the Zhao family, this daughter is uncalled for.”
Chen Lao Ye’s words pulled Madam Chen back again at once. She looked at Chen Lao Ye’s expressionless face as he spoke these cold words, she gently lowered her eyes and faintly responded, “Yes, Master, I know. I will definitely teach Ling’er well, so that she will not act as she pleases. Successfully curry favor with Zhao Er Shao (Zhao Second Young Master), successfully marrying into the Zhao family, and contributing to my Chen family.”
Hearing such a sensible reply from Madam Chen, Elder Master Chen nodded his head in satisfaction and the look on his face changed to one of relief again.
Butler Zhou was sent back by the two young male servants of the Chen family.
As soon as he entered the door, Butler Zhou’s sorry state scared Big Sister-in-law Zhou who was waiting in the courtyard, only to hear him screaming so she ran to him as she said in a hurry: “Old Zhou, what’s wrong with you? How did you get trampled on like this? Who dared to do this to you? Say it, we’ll go to seek justice together!”
Hearing big sister-in-law Zhou’s ear-piercing voice, housekeeper Zhou’s face showed a bit of embarrassment, he really couldn’t tell how he got himself into this situation.
On the contrary, the young male servant beside him who sent him here, looking at the yelling woman, directly said: “Old Master has said to let Steward Zhou to start his journey to Qian Xi Village within two days, so we will come back to see Steward Zhou off at that time. I still hope that Steward Zhou will not forget the time and delay his journey.”
Hearing this name, Big sister-in-law Zhou froze for a moment, looking at the male servant beside her and said blankly:
“Qian Xi Village, what Qian Xi Village? We are staying here just fine, why do we have to go to Qian Xi Village?”
