Chapter 320: The Chen Clan's heavens have shattered

The Chen Clan's heavens have flipped.

The third uncle present, Chen Shen, widened his eyes, watching the back of eldest brother Chen Yuan as he madly ran out, presumably to verify the truth of the matter.

The eldest sister-in-law rose, her expression ordinary, showing no joy or anger; Chen Shen knew she was angry, a state he knew best—her usual talkative laughter was not frightening, but her calmness made her the most terrifying presence in the household, one no one dared provoke.

Back then, Chen Shen often got beaten; even now, he dare not defy the eldest sister-in-law.

Old two Chen Chen is likewise, sitting to the side, head lowered; after condensing the elixir, he also cannot avoid cleaning, always subconsciously dodging the eldest sister-in-law's glaring gaze; in the whole Chen Clan, who hasn't been beaten by this eldest sister-in-law?

Once she gets angry, it's a major affair for the Chen Clan; no one in the Chen Clan can stop her.

"Gurgle."

Old two and old three exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes; they dared not speak, choking back a sob.

They were very afraid; at such a time, they could not speak, nor make a sound.

After exchanging glances, they followed the eldest sister-in-law out, leaving the hall; sunlight fell in the courtyard, yet they felt no warmth, only a chill approaching; the eldest sister-in-law continuously emitted terrifying chill, needing only a slight provocation to explode instantly; the other Chen Clan members all found excuses to leave, for they did not wish to provoke Long Ming in this state.

Only old two and old three could find no excuse, unable to leave, nor dare to speak; they dared guarantee that once they spoke, they would surely suffer.

They could only quietly and obediently follow behind the eldest sister-in-law, to see what was happening with the eldest brother—whether it was truly… bringing back a concubine for them; if so, this household would utterly explode.

The eldest brother surely would not be so foolish.

The two exchanged a glance, once again confirming they had been deceived; the eldest brother would never do such a thing, always being an upright gentleman, pure and clean, never having gone out to indulge; how could such an eldest brother flirt with flowers?

"Thud-thud."

Footsteps sounded, not those of a single person.

Chen Shen heard it immediately, raised his head, and saw eldest brother bringing someone in.

His mouth hung open; it was a woman, followed by two small children, about seven or eight years old, very cute.

The boy's appearance resembled the eldest brother by three parts; at this moment, Chen Shen's mind exploded.

"This?"

"Such appearance, so similar—could the eldest brother not be?"

"When the child said he was not the eldest brother's, nobody believed it."

Old two Chen Chen was likewise, his mind completely blank.

Staring at that child, however one looked, it felt like looking at the eldest brother.

That face, that aura, and his gaze were exactly the same as the eldest brother's.

The aura emanating from his body was also very familiar to him, subconsciously acknowledging this child.

"No way?"

Chen Chen's inner shock was unbounded, staring at the eldest brother, staring at that child.

He looked back and forth many times; each time, he… paused a moment.

The chill emanating from beside him made him feel terrified.

He subconsciously stepped back; coincidentally, old three also stepped back, the two exchanged a glance, looking at each other.

The two exchanged glances.

"You say this child couldn't possibly truly be the eldest brother's son, right?"

"There's no falseness."

"The eldest brother he…"

"He's muddle-headed."

Chen Chen and Chen Shen exchanged glances, not daring to utter a sound, fearing the eldest sister-in-law would hear.

However, these are merely speculations; they have not yet confirmed, needing to wait for the eldest brother to speak and admit.

Thus, they looked toward the eldest brother.

Long Ming's gaze was likewise, falling on Chen Yuan, wanting to hear how he would speak.

Chen Yuan's mouth was dry, his body trembling involuntarily; he did not know how to speak, nor how to explain.

He raised his head, met his wife's eyes, opened his mouth, yet could not speak.

His eyes were full of guilt and apology; this gaze, this appearance, Long Ming certainly knew.

This woman is a little woman he found outside.

Now she has come to the door.

"Hmph."

She turned and left, having already confirmed.

She knows her husband too well; for some matters, a single glance suffices, no need for many words.

Chen Yuan reached out, wanting to call out to his wife, but could not utter a word.

Helpless, he lowered his hand.

All the strength in his body vanished in an instant.

The woman beside him never spoke from beginning to end, merely standing obediently, while the two small children behind her hid in fear.

Chen Shen stepped forward, pulling the eldest brother into the hall and closing the door.

The three brothers gathered together; Chen Chen spoke first: "Eldest brother, you surely haven't really done something sorry to the eldest sister-in-law, have you?"

Chen Shen also stared at eldest brother Chen Yuan; for such a matter, he would not believe it unless he heard it straight from the eldest brother's mouth.

They wanted to confirm, after all this matter is serious; once confirmed… then things could become serious.

Chen Shen understood; if the eldest brother brought another woman home, the eldest sister-in-law…

More daring than himself; who would have thought the dull eldest brother also had this side—truly… one cannot judge a person by appearance.

"Eldest brother, you can't be muddle-headed; how could you do such a thing? The eldest sister-in-law treats you so well, for this household she has given so much; think back to how useless you were back then, yet the eldest sister-in-law still took a liking to you—without her, you would not have today."

"You must not do something sorry to the eldest sister-in-law, you…"

Chen Shen hoped his older brother would say something otherwise, so he could feel a bit better.

Chen Yuan let out a sigh: "Ah."

Chen Chen understood; it seemed true, the older brother really made a mistake.

He still cautiously asked: "Older brother, they couldn't really be your children, could they?"

Chen Yuan nodded helplessly.

He acknowledged it.

It really is his child.

At this moment.

Chen Chen and Chen Shen exchanged a glance again; the sky, collapsed.

The Chen Clan's sky, completely collapsed.

They, are all going to be doomed.

Really going to be doomed.

The two looked at the older brother in disbelief, especially Chen Shen, who shouted angrily: "Older brother, how could you do this? For you and for the Chen Clan, the older sister-in-law has sacrificed so much; how can you let her down?"

"This time, younger brother, I won't stand on your side."

Chen Shen expressed his view first; he would stand on the older sister-in-law's side, not on his.

Chen Chen said: "Older brother, I won't help you either."

The two brothers will not help the older brother.

If really necessary, the older brother could leave with nothing, and the older sister-in-law could become the family head; that wouldn't be impossible.

Huh, that seems feasible.

Chen Yuan felt bitter, he frowned and said: "I don't want this either; mainly..."

Back then, for the Chen Clan, he left Longshe Cheng once; who knew.

It was that time; he got hit, killed a demon beast, and himself also got hit, and then...

Afterwards, he thought it was just a fleeting dream, and didn't take it to heart.

After waking up, only he remained, and he returned to the Chen Clan like that.

He had mostly forgotten this matter; it was too long ago.

Moreover, at that time he had not yet married Long Ming.

So, he told no one about this; no one knew, he himself would forget it; who would have thought they'd show up at the door, and we can't just ignore them.
