Chapter 810: Hu Yueer lowers her head, the two children achieve Foundation Establishment
After finishing the Chen family's affairs, Chen Shen and Liu Yuer left the Chen residence again; they both took a deep breath, exchanged a glance, and smiled together.
"Yuer, why don't you want to stay at the Chen residence? I think the Chen residence is fine—safe, with servants attending to you, so you don't need to work or worry about other things; just rest and nurture the pregnancy."
"The elder sister-in-law said she would surely arrange it well and wouldn't let you… be wronged."
Others' words, Chen Shen would somewhat doubt, but the elder sister-in-law's words he never doubted at all.
To him, the elder sister-in-law was no different from his mother; the saying "the elder sister-in-law is like a mother" fits him perfectly; regarding Elder Sister-in-Law Long Ming, Chen Shen felt only respect, with no other thoughts.
Within the Chen family, the elder sister-in-law still had authority.
"I know the elder sister-in-law treats me well and pities me, but I still prefer the life on Longshe Shan; although there is work to do, with my current cultivation and physique, those tasks are few and can be finished quickly."
"I'm not as fragile as you think; I can still do what needs to be done. Moreover, there are others working on Longshe Shan; if I can't do something, I can have them do it."
"I oversee the Dragon Tooth Rice and Dragon Blood Rice; Hu Yueer and the others must obey my orders—this authority was given to me by Hongxue."
"If I stayed at the Chen residence, I couldn't do anything and would be bored."
Liu Yuer linked arms with her third uncle Chen Shen and softly said, "If you weren't home, I'd be bored—there'd be no one to talk to."
Chen Shen thought it over; indeed, his duties were heavy, making it impossible to stay home accompanying Yuer all the time—most of his time was spent on missions, and lately the Chen family had many matters to handle, various businesses requiring him to run about and make contacts.
Many supplies needed his protection; while the major sects wouldn't move against the Chen family, some petty bandits would still strike, and they wouldn't hesitate much.
The danger factor still existed, though not much.
Around here, strong cultivators at Golden Core and above are basically nonexistent; most Golden Core experts stay away from the Chen family and from Chen Chuyang.
Thunder tribulations erupt from time to time, which no one can endure; besides, the Great Qi Dynasty exerts pressure, so no one would dare to oppose the Chen family.
"If I'm on the mountain, I still have Hongxue to chat with and Qian'er to keep me company."
"And you? No need to worry about me—I'm doing fine on the mountain."
Liu Yuer truly likes staying on Longshe Shan and doesn't want to go anywhere else.
The people down below are too complicated; the Chen family, being a large clan, is naturally complex as well.
There are things she doesn't want to face, nor experience again; this is fine.
Chen Shen embraced her and comforted, "Alright, just do as you say; as long as you're happy."
He felt great pity for the woman in his arms; the bullying she suffered back then remains unresolved to this day.
Chen Shen didn't want her to suffer bullying again; this woman is his, and he must protect her.
"Mm."
"Then let's return to Longshe Shan."
"Okay."
The two headed toward Longshe Shan; after coming back once and confirming a few things, that was enough—the rest didn't matter.
As long as their child is considered a Chen family child, that's fine; Liu Yuer's return this time is also for that reason—she doesn't want the child, after birth, to be denied recognition by the Chen family, which would greatly harm the child.
Chen family, inside the main hall.
Chen Yuan returned, didn't see the two of them, and asked his wife Long Ming.
"They've gone back to Longshe Shan and don't want to stay at the Chen residence."
Long Ming replied truthfully, "Although the Chen residence is good, Liu Yuer prefers the life on Longshe Shan; this is also fine, lest she fail to adapt to Chen family life, which would be bad for the child."
Chen Yuan blinked and said, "She's a smart woman who knows what she needs; staying on Longshe Shan, no one dares to move against her, and with Chuyang present, not only her but also her child will see their status rise."
"Her daughter Zhang Nongqian has already advanced to Pill Refining Master, receiving part of Chuyang's true transmission; this makes her another Pill Refining Master of the Chen family, so the family's medicinal supply will increase greatly, no longer stingy as before."
"Zhang Nongqian's status and position will be raised, and so will Liu Yuer's," Long Ming reminded.
"How important a Pill Refining Master is, Long Ming well knows."
"Within the Great Qi Dynasty, there isn't necessarily such a young Pill Refining Master."
"Zhang Nongqian is very talented, worth cultivating, and worth the Chen family's investment."
"Naturally, Liu Yuer's status and position rise with the tide, as does the child in her womb."
"I know, Liu Yuer is now a member of the Chen family, and will remain so in the future."
"I will treat her according to the status due to my third brother's wife."
Long Ming glanced at Dusty Fate and said, "She is my third brother's wife; you'd better not do something stupid."
"I know."
Long Ming warned again, "Put away those thoughts; Liu Yuer is more than qualified to be my third brother's wife—he has finally steadied his heart, so don't cause trouble for me."
"I……" Chen Yuan opened his mouth to retort, but meeting his wife's gaze, he lowered his head and dared not speak.
Long Ming pressed down her hand and said coldly, "If you keep this up, don't blame me for sending you to Longshe Shan."
"Your two precious sons will surely be happy to see you."
"Uh……" Chen Yuan quickly waved his hands, not wanting to become…… a punching bag for his two sons.
"I understand; I won't act recklessly."
"Hmph."
On Longshe Shan.
Chen Chuyang frowned, looking behind Hongxue.
Hu Yueer followed behind, her demeanor suggesting she had something to say.
"Chuyang older brother, she says she has business with you and insists on speaking only after seeing you; I didn't want to bring her up the mountain, but she begged and knelt, so I had no choice but to hand her over to you."
Shang Hongxue couldn't play the villain; she could only hand her over to Chuyang older brother.
Hu Yueer saw Chen Chuyang and immediately knelt, kowtowing.
"Please, help these two children; they truly…… can't continue like this."
"If they don't achieve Foundation Establishment, the two children will truly be ruined."
"I know you don't like me, but I'll still thicken my skin and beg you."
The two children have come of age; if they don't reach Foundation Establishment, then they truly cannot reach Foundation Establishment; after that, there will be nothing... no future.
I don't ask for anything; I only ask you to let them achieve Foundation Establishment; I beg you.
Kowtowing, Hu Yueer kowtows incessantly.
At this moment, for the two children, she spares nothing.
Pride, dignity, or anything else—at this moment, all turned to flying ash.
Only the two children's Foundation Establishment; nothing else.
For the children, she can only do this; even if she is despised and humiliated, she will not hesitate.
Shang Hongxue turned her back, unable to bear watching this scene; this is a mother's awakening, and also something a mother can do for her two children.
Even if she kneels, even if she casts aside her dignity, she also begs Chen Chuyang.
