Chapter 470: Killing the chicken to scare the monkey (4)
It's impossible for the two siblings to move back while their father still lives in that thatched hut, right?
After trying to hold it back, Chen Baoyu still couldn't help but asked Chen Wanruo:
"Sister, what about me... where is my father?"
"What do you think?" Chen Wanruo asked instead of answering.
"I...if dad doesn't come to live here, then we will go back too. Also, thank you, big sister..."
"Why did you ask your mother Ma Meizi?" Chen Wanruo asked the brother and sister who were about to leave.
"She? We don't know where she is now." Chen Baoyu said with a wry smile.
When they were still in the Chen Mansion, their mother had loved them sincerely.
But as their lives became increasingly miserable, their mother would beat and scold them every day.
They didn't know when it started, but they gradually became estranged from their mother.
Such a mother seems dispensable.
Not only is he lazy and gluttonous, but whenever he has free time, he either beats them or quarrels with his father.
It seemed as if their lives were more comfortable without their mother around.
"Have you ever thought about going to find her?" Chen Wanruo asked again.
"Where to go? Where else to go? Where else can she go except to the gambling house?"
"Oh? Did you know she often goes to the gambling house?"
"Well, my father went to work at the docks some time ago. Although it was hard to support a family of four, it was not as bad as it is now. But my mother has tried to steal my father's money several times."
"Father has quarreled with her many times for this, but it's all in vain. Now it's even come to a point of fighting, but she still doesn't repent. Even...even..."
"Are you even planning to sell you to a brothel?" Chen Wanruo continued what Chen Baoyu said.
"Ok!"
"So do you hate her?"
"Not really! But when it comes to my feelings for my mother, they are obviously not as deep as my feelings for my father."
"Very good. I hope you can understand one thing. People can be filial, but they cannot be blindly filial. Do you understand?" Chen Wanruo said, looking at the brother and sister.
Then, while the brother and sister were stunned, he raised his right hand.
When the man in black came down, he ordered in front of the brother and sister:
"Bring Ma Meizi here as soon as possible. Today, I want to let her know the consequences of messing with me, Chen Wanruo."
"Yes, Miss!"
After saying that, Chen Fa immediately disappeared from the sight of several people.
Then, Chen Wanruo instructed Butler Li:
"Send someone to the dock to pick up Chen Hongan and tell him that I have something to tell him!"
"Yes, Miss!" Butler Li said respectfully.
After Butler Li left, Chen Wanruo called out softly, "Chen Xiang!"
It was just two short words, and another man in black jumped down from above, stopped respectfully in front of Chen Wanruo, half bent over.
"My lady, please give me your orders!"
"Well, I need to keep a close eye on the situation at the Zhang residence! Do you understand?"
"Understood. I'll arrange it right away!"
"Well, go ahead!" Chen Wanruo waved her hand slowly and said.
After everything was arranged, Chen Wanruo walked towards the main courtyard.
At this time, Chen Baoyu and his sister were dumbfounded.
They had been in the Chen Mansion before, but they never knew that there was such a master in the Chen Mansion.
Also, Chen Wanruo's series of actions just now were telling them that the elder sister in front of them was no longer the same elder sister as before.
She is the emperor.
They hadn't felt this way throughout the day.
But those few instructions just now made them realize that she was really the emperor.
He is the emperor of the Jin Dynasty.
He is the king of a country.
He is the one who can take the lives of people all over the world with just a flick of his finger.
They already knew about the battle between General Chen, who had made great military achievements, and Yao Fengjiao.
My father also told them that my great uncle’s death was related to Yao Fengjiao.
I guess my elder sister has finally put her worries to rest!
At least she has avenged her uncle and aunt, right?
Thinking of this, Chen Baoyu looked up at the receding figure again.
As soon as she entered, she really wanted to know what she was carrying on her shoulders.
Is she tired?
Thinking of this, Chen Baoyu suddenly felt sad.
She felt sorry for her.
A woman should enjoy the protection of her parents at home.
And she? She was fighting on the battlefield.
In order to avenge his father, he almost lost his life.
She seemed strong on the surface, but looking at her back, Chen Baoyu seemed to be able to see the fragility that she unintentionally exuded.
Thinking of this, she subconsciously walked towards the main courtyard...
Seeing Chen Baoyu following, Chen Baoyong naturally followed as well.
Chen Wanruo walked very slowly, and only when she felt the siblings catching up with her did she raise the corners of her mouth.
When he was only two steps away from Chen Wanruo, Chen Baoyu called out softly to the figure in front of him, "Big Sister!"
When she heard the word "sister", Chen Wanruo stood there stiffly.
Apart from Chen Wanming, she hadn't heard anyone call her this so sincerely for a long time.
She didn't look back because she knew that Chen Baoyu had something to say to her.
"Sister, if you are tired, just take a break. You can also complain about being tired. Don't push yourself..."
Chen Baoyu didn't continue with the rest of the conversation because she didn't know whether she liked it or not.
She was afraid that if she said too much, she would be unhappy.
She also wanted to say, you still have us, whenever you are tired, you can come back here, you are always welcome here.
She herself knew that she was not qualified.
This time it was all given to them by their eldest sister. If not, they wouldn't even have a roof over their heads.
What qualifications do I have to say these things to my elder sister?
Thinking of this, Chen Baoyu showed a bitter smile again.
Yes, with the eldest sister’s current status, she doesn’t need family members like them at all.
Just when she thought Chen Wanruo would not answer her, she heard a very light "hmm".
At first, she thought she had heard it wrong, but when she saw Chen Wanruo continue to move forward, she realized that she had not heard it wrong.
She really responded to herself.
"Sister..."
"Well, I see!"
This time, Chen Wanruo's voice was obviously much louder.
This was the first time she experienced this feeling. It turned out that this was what it felt like to be tolerant of others.
It turns out that there is really a saying that if you take a step back, the sky will be wider.
It turns out that forgiving someone is not such a painful thing.
Thinking of this, Chen Wanruo didn't even notice that the corners of her mouth were always raised.
It was a smile that came subconsciously.
As soon as they sat down in the main hall, Chen Wanruo instructed Xiaoxia who was standing beside her:
