Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife-Chapter 367 - 246 Rumor_2
Chapter 367: Chapter 246 Rumor_2
Chen Wanrong said, “I don’t know either, but I do know that the path he’s taken is not that of a martial artist, but the path of cultivation.”
“To break through to the Grandmaster Realm at such a young age is only possible through the Daoist Immortality.”
Lin Wanyun sighed again.
Well, now both of them had been hoodwinked by that little rascal, who really seems to pick up every beautiful woman he sees. How could his vigor be so inexhaustible?
Lin Wanyun asked, “Palace Master, has he agreed to let us leave the North Prince Mansion yet?”
Chen Wanrong shook her head, her expression indifferent as she said, “After I bear him a child, he will let me leave.”
Lin Wanyun’s brows furrowed slightly, “But what about the Mysterious Moon Palace? If we don’t return for a long time, I’m afraid the Elders will have opinions. We have already stayed at the North Prince Mansion for such a long time.”
Chen Wanrong said, “I will ask him again after some time.”
Lin Wanyun said no more.
At that moment, Chen Wanrong looked at Lin Wanyun and asked, “Madam Lin, what do you think? Last night he told me that he has already made contact with your Lin Family, intending to have you marry into the North Prince Mansion.”
“I…”
After a moment of thought, Lin Wanyun didn’t know how to respond; she was equally confused.
She always felt that the age gap between her and Lu Chen was too much, marrying him seemed inappropriate, and yet, it was precisely older women that this little rascal favored.
Looking at the ages of the women in the Prince’s Mansion, it seemed that every one of Lu Chen’s women was older than him, even the youngest Zhou Youyou and Xiao Wenyao were older than Lu Chen.
There was also Yelv Nanyan in the Prince’s Mansion, who was about the same age as him.
Chen Wanrong said, “If you are unwilling to marry him, I will find a way to help you leave.”
Although Chen Wanrong currently could not persuade Lu Chen to let Lin Wanyun leave the North Prince Mansion, she believed that one day she would find a condition that touched Lu Chen’s heart, getting him to agree to let Lin Wanyun go.
Hearing these words, Lin Wanyun hesitated for a moment, but eventually mustered the courage to say, “There’s no need, Palace Master. I’ve decided to stay at the North Prince Mansion to bear him sons and daughters.”
Chen Wanrong was slightly stunned; she had indeed guessed that Lin Wanyun might have developed feelings for Lu Chen, yet hearing Lin Wanyun express her decision to stay caught her by surprise.
Chen Wanrong then said, “I understand.”
Since Lin Wanyun had decided to stay and bear Lu Chen’s children, Chen Wanrong had nothing to prevent, as long as Lu Chen wouldn’t let her down.
However, Chen Wanrong still harbored some worries. Given Lu Chen’s current trajectory, he would definitely become Emperor in the future, and Chen Wanrong worried that once Lin Wanyun entered the Imperial Palace, she might be neglected by Lu Chen and spend her whole life within its walls.
Right now, apart from noticing that Lu Chen was quite lustful, it was still hard to discern his other characteristics, so it was difficult to say whether he would abandon his women or not.
But then again, there’s not much use worrying so much at this point, only when Lu Chen becomes the Emperor and possesses supreme power, can they really determine what kind of person he truly is.
…
Two hours later.
Having bathed and changed his clothes, Lu Chen arrived at his study to deal with state affairs.
Even though he had enjoyed himself last night without sleeping, Lu Chen still didn’t feel too fatigued and remained energetic.
Just then, the voice of a maid resounded at the door of the study, “Prince, Commander Qin requests an audience.”
Lu Chen said directly, “Let him in.”
The next moment, Qin Yushan pushed the door and entered the study. ƒrēenovelkiss.com
Lu Chen asked faintly, “What’s the matter?”
Qin Yushan replied, “Prince, in recent days, rumors have spread among the people of the North Country that you’ve monopolized the widow of a hero who fought against the barbarians, and there are also rumors claiming you don’t even spare your own aunt.”
Hearing this, Lu Chen was taken aback, then put down what he was holding and looked up at Qin Yushan with a serious expression, asking, “Have the sources of these rumors been clarified?”
Qin Yushan answered, “They have, from the Chu Family.”
Hearing Qin Yushan’s response, Lu Chen’s face immediately darkened as he continued to ask, “The Chu Family from the South, or from the North Country?”
The Chu Family had already split, and there was now also a Chu Family in the North Country.
Qin Yushan answered again, “The North Country Chu Family.”
Lu Chen fell silent.
Thinking about it, it made sense. The aristocratic families of the South were currently at war with the Imperial Army under Lu Shuyun’s leadership; they wouldn’t have the time to send people to the North Country to spread rumors. Most likely, it was the work of the North Country Chu Family.
But the North Country Chu Family had already pledged allegiance to him, and Lu Chen didn’t believe that his maternal grandfather would spread such talk. It was quite clear that Chu Xiong supported the idea of Chu Yuqin becoming Lu Chen’s woman.
If Chu Yuqin became his woman, it would create another connection for the North Country’s Chu Family, even though Chu Yuqin and the Chu Family were not related by blood. This was similar to the situation with Lin Wanyun and the Lin Family: Lin Wanyun had no blood relation to the Lin Family, but Lin Gaoyuan still wanted Lin Wanyun to be a link to the North Prince Mansion.
After thinking for a while, Lu Chen said to Qin Yushan, “Don’t hand this matter over to the Brocade Guard to investigate. Go to the Chu Family yourself, and tell them what you’ve found. My maternal grandfather will know what to do.”
Qin Yushan said, “Your subordinate understands. I will go now.”
