Chapter 237
"Third Brother??"
When Chen Boqiao saw the face of the man on the bed clearly, his expression adjusted extremely quickly, and he even covered his mouth with his hand, exclaiming: "How could it be Third Brother?!"
That appearance and that tone brought disbelief to the extreme.
"Chen Gubai?"
Ning Zheng was also startled, his brows tightened, and he asked suspiciously and astonishedly: "Wasn't it said to be Chen Yan?!"
The facts were completely different from what was expected!
How did the proper Governor of the Mingjing Si, the current favorite Chen Yan, become Chen Gubai, who had no official position???
My brother-in-law has so many tricks, how could he be so easily trapped... Pei Xilou witnessed this scene, the corners of his mouth couldn't stop rising, he looked at Chen Tongyuan playfully, and said: "Duke of Wei, this is really a good show!"
"Hahahaha!"
In this world, if there are people who are worried, there will naturally be people who are happy...
Smiles will not disappear out of thin air, they will only be transferred!
"It seems like stealing a chicken only to lose the rice!" Liu Bingzhong was expressionless, his gaze swept over Chen Gubai, who was still sleeping soundly on the bed, and Chen Tongyuan and Chen Boqiao, and sighed in his heart.
Liu Bingzhong didn't know what the Duke of Wei was thinking, daring to scheme against that master?
You have to know that it was always him scheming against others...
However, as a spectator, this play was still extremely interesting!
"Where is Chen Yan!"
Chen Tongyuan, mocked by Pei Xilou, came back to his senses, looked at Chen Boqiao, the veins on his neck bulged, and roared: "Boqiao, tell me, why is it your Third Brother Gubai lying here!"
The anger in Chen Tongyuan's heart couldn't help but breed.
Before, he had spoken so confidently and guaranteed it would be proper, letting him, this father, just cooperate and come to catch them in the act, and settle the dust...
As a result, the one caught in the act was his only legitimate son?!
"This... this child doesn't know either!"
"Before it really was Eldest Brother, I don't know why it became Third Brother..."
Chen Boqiao lowered his head, his voice becoming less confident as he spoke, trying his best to maintain a trembling posture.
Just as Chen Tongyuan was about to continue making trouble and scold him, a lazy voice came from behind everyone:
"Achoo~"
"Who is thinking of this Governor?"
"In the middle of the night, why does the Duke of Wei have such a big temper?"
"Were you caught in bed?"
Chen Yan, dressed neatly, walked in unhurriedly from outside the door, yawning, followed by Zhu Yi and Hongye.
It was just that between the lines, it was full of insinuation and pointing.
"Chen... Chen Yan?!"
Chen Tongyuan looked in the direction of the sound, looked at the rebellious son who appeared suddenly, and said incredulously: "How did you come out from behind?!"
He was stunned.
According to the script designed by Gubai, shouldn't this wicked obstacle be lying on the bed disheveled at this very moment?
Why did he come from outside?
"This Governor was drinking at the Jiangnan bank next door, accidentally got a bit drunk, and opened a room next door to rest..."
"Isn't it because you guys were too noisy, so I came out to see what was going on!"
Chen Yan yawned again, as if he were really sleepy, and replied lightly.
"You!"
Chen Tongyuan looked at this appearance, had bitterness he couldn't speak of, and hated him so much he gritted his teeth.
But Chen Yan didn't continue to pay attention to him, shifted his gaze to Pei Xilou, who was smiling at the side, and asked knowingly: "Second Brother-in-law, it's not early, why are you here too?"
Pei Xilou heard this, closed his folding fan gently, raised his palm to signal Chen Tongyuan and Chen Boqiao, and said playfully: "Isn't it because someone said brother-in-law, you relied on force to forcibly abduct the Ning family's young lady Ning Chuyou, and acted recklessly after drinking..."
"They insisted that our Pei clan send someone to see!"
"It really wasn't a wasted trip..."
After speaking, he glanced at the bed.
The moment Chen Yan appeared, Pei Xilou knew clearly that the trap must have been set by the Duke of Wei father and son, but it must have been seen through by his good brother-in-law long ago, and he had used their own trick against them!
Although he didn't know what kind of goal his brother-in-law wanted to achieve, he cooperated extremely well to provide assistance.
"Forcibly abducting people with force?"
"Acting recklessly after drinking?"
"Who dares to act so recklessly at the feet of the Son of Heaven?"
Chen Yan heard this, raised his hand, covered his mouth lightly, full of astonishment.
Immediately, he walked quickly to the bed, shocked: "Ah!"
"This daring person is actually my Third Brother!"
After speaking, he staggered back three steps and clutched his chest exaggeratedly.
There was an inexplicable feeling of deliberate surprise.
"This rebellious son is really getting better at pretending..."
"And singing in harmony with that Pei kid!"
Chen Tongyuan took in Chen Yan's expression, scanned Pei Xilou again, and thought venomously.
With such a fake performance, how could he not see it was intentional?
"Young Master's acting is really exaggerated..."
Zhu Yi stood behind with his sword in his arms, and after watching Chen Yan's "clumsy performance," he shifted his gaze directly to Chen Tongyuan, and smiled in his heart: "However, the Duke of Wei's face is also really ugly!"
That expression was as disgusting as swallowing a few catties of feces...
When it comes to playing with people, it's still his own young master.
Extremely interesting!
"You must be Ning Chuyou of the Ning family, right?"
Chen Yan finally noticed the woman wrapped in a quilt, curled up in a corner and trembling by the bed, and after looking her up and down, smiled mockingly: "You two don't have any signs of resistance on your bodies, it doesn't look like you were abducted by force!"
"I... I..."
Ning Chuyou was speechless, not knowing what to say, and could only clutch the quilt tightly.
Looking like a guilty conscience.
Even if there were scars on her body, they could only be the traces left after that kind of thing...
"Governor Liu!"
Chen Yan put his hands behind his back, turned his head slightly, and shouted.
"Here." Liu Bingzhong heard this, walked forward quickly and responded.
As he spoke, he glanced at Ning Chuyou on the bed from close range.
His eyes were full of sympathy.
Someone else is going to be in big trouble...
Chen Yan smiled indifferently and asked: "You tell this Governor, according to the Great Zhou Law, what is the crime for an unmarried woman to commit adultery with a man?"
"Those who commit adultery together, both men and women will be exiled for a year and a half!"
Liu Bingzhong thought for a moment and replied quickly.
He paused and added: "The man will be punished with castration, and the woman will be beaten eighty-seven times!"
"Those in serious situations can be punished with extreme punishment!"
Liu Bingzhong was like a law machine without emotion, reciting all the relevant clauses.
Moreover, his voice was very loud, enough for everyone in the room to hear clearly...
Chen Yan darkened his face, extremely serious, raised his hand and pointed directly at Ning Chuyou, and scolded: "The two of you, without the order of your parents or the matchmaker's words, had intercourse in broad daylight, ruining the atmosphere of our Great Zhou!"
"Should be dealt with severely!"
Ning Chuyou, who grew up in the deep boudoir, first listened to the law, and then felt the overwhelming momentum, suddenly panicked and explained, trying to excuse herself:
"No!"
"It's not like that!"
"It was Chen's Third Son who told the little woman that there was a way to marry into the Governor's Mansion..."
"As long as the little woman cooperated, there would be endless glory and wealth in the future!"
"The little woman really didn't commit adultery with him, and I don't know why he appeared on this bed!"
Ning Chuyou was really panicked.
She couldn't care about anything else, poured out the whole story, and sold Chen Gubai out completely.
"Brother-in-law's move is high!"
Pei Xilou saw this, couldn't help but praise in his heart, and glanced at the guy who was still sleeping soundly on the bed, complaining: "This Chen family fool doesn't even weigh how many catties he has, how dare he have the courage to attack brother-in-law?"
Regarding the evaluation of Chen Gubai, Pei Xilou only had eight words:
Overestimating his own strength.
Stupid and unaware.
Who to scheme against if not him, why scheme against his brother-in-law?
Lifting a rock only to drop it on his own feet.
"Smell the bed, the smell on the quilt, and you still dare to deny it?"
Chen Yan curled his lips, pointed to the bed that smelled of chestnut flowers, looked at Ning Chuyou, and said sternly: "Tell this Governor, what is the method Chen Gubai mentioned!"
