Chapter 250

If it were double wedding gifts, it could be understood; after all, who in Chang'an didn't know that her husband was the Grand Chancellor's favorite minister...

But these betrothal gifts were intriguing!

If they weren't close elders, who would do such a thing?

Then this relationship was a bit too...

Chen Yan heard the implication, picked up the wine cup on the table, took a shallow sip, and asked: "Wife, you want to ask why the Grand Chancellor treats me so specially, right?"

That kind of kindness, trust, and favoritism that was different from ordinary people...

Standing from the perspective of a bystander, if Chen Yan didn't know the inside story, he would also be incomparably curious.

"Yes."

Pei Suiwan nodded gently and admitted frankly: "Nothing can be hidden from Husband..."

She still remembered that the first time she heard her husband's pseudonym, it was from a junior of the Grand Marshal's family...

Now that she thought about it carefully, that probably wasn't just something said casually to resolve the situation...

"Because the Grand Chancellor had a past with my mother..."

Chen Yan held Pei Suiwan's hand, smiled indifferently, and sighed: "It's just loving the house and its crow!"

For his own bedmate, there was no need to hide this harmless secret...

As for what kind of past it was, Chen really didn't know.

But he hoped it was the kind...

Where he really didn't need to work hard himself!

"So it was because of Mother-in-law..."

Pei Suiwan suddenly realized, nodded, and as if thinking of something else, her gaze became firm, and she said resolutely: "Husband, rest assured, I will not let a third person know about this!"

Born into a prominent family, having seen intrigue since childhood, how could she not know the stakes and influence involved?

Since she had married as a wife, she had to consider problems from her husband's perspective...

She must never let this matter become a weapon for political enemies to attack her husband and the Grand Chancellor!

Chen Yan exhaled a turbid breath, patted the woman's delicate hand, and urged in a deep voice: "Although the Grand Chancellor remembers old feelings and treats me like half a son, we must still respect him, fear him, and be cautious..."

"We must not have even the slightest bit of forgetfulness!"

Looking at history, there have been too many cases of turning against each other...

Even if he was deeply trusted and loved by the Grand Chancellor because of his mother, Chen Yan knew that accompanying a monarch was like accompanying a tiger; he had always been walking on thin ice and dared not be the slightest bit arrogant...

And as husband and wife are one, these words had to be warned.

Husband sees things so clearly... Pei Suiwan heard this, moved by his precise self-awareness, couldn't help but nod, and responded solemnly: "I understand!"

In her husband's position, it looked incomparably glorious, leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade, but one could not take a single wrong step...

After speaking, Pei Suiwan continued to look through the wedding gifts.

"There is just this one good thing about marrying a smart woman..."

Chen Yan looked at the sensible woman beside him, pursed his lips and smiled, thinking to himself: "She understands at a single hint, no need for too many words!"

"Eh, why is there a betrothal gift from the Wei Duke Mansion?"

Pei Suiwan's beautiful eyes shifted, scanning that name that shouldn't have appeared, greatly surprised, and asked in confusion: "Aren't Husband and that person at daggers drawn?"

She was extremely clear about the relationship between the Wei Duke and her husband...

No matter from which aspect, he didn't look like someone who would prepare it, and he had prepared so much!

He had given away almost half of his family fortune...

Wasn't that too abnormal?

"Wife might not know, your man started by ransacking homes!"

Hearing this, Chen Yan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and said playfully: "Holding a knife to Chen Tongyuan's neck, he dared not refuse, and dared not not give!"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but recall the scenes from that day and the previous few times...

Chen Tongyuan didn't want to give it either, but this old bastard had no choice.

"So that's how it is..."

Pei Suiwan roughly understood her man's operation, and as if thinking of something, called out softly: "Husband."

She looked like she had something to say.

"Hmm?"

Seeing this, Chen Yan asked: "Does Wife have something you want to say?"

"I know Husband's past, so there are some things Husband will definitely do..."

Pei Suiwan closed the booklet on the table, pursed her red lips lightly, and after choosing her words, said.

She paused, then continued: "But I hope Husband, even if you want to do it, don't do it with your own hands!"

Pei Suiwan knew very well that with the conflict and entanglement between her man and the Wei Duke, there would definitely be an ending...

Especially since the old troops of the Pillar States had all chosen their side, the break between the two sides would likely be in the near future.

As a wife, Pei Suiwan would not only not stop him, but would support him unconditionally with all her might!

It was just the patricide...

No matter how great the conflict was, he couldn't bear this evil name!

It was best to let others do it...

"Hahahaha!"

After Chen Yan was silent for a moment, he laughed heartily, looked at the woman before him who was thinking for him, and sighed: "The ancients said, marry a virtuous wife, and they do not deceive me!"

A virtuous wife brings prosperity for three generations; it was indeed true...

"Husband, promise me, okay?"

Pei Suiwan held Chen Yan's hand tightly, her eyes full of concern, and pleaded softly: "For yourself, and for this home of ours..."

"Wife, rest assured!"

Chen Yan held her delicate hand back and laughed: "I know the stakes, I will absolutely not do it with my own hands, and I will not even stain myself with a drop of Chen Tongyuan's blood..."

As he spoke, a flash of darkness and ruthlessness crossed the depths of his eyes.

Chen, who was always well-prepared, had long since prepared the perfect way for Chen Tongyuan to die...

There was no risk of leaving any handle for others.

And he could even establish the image of a filial son who lets bygones be bygones!

It could be considered Chen Tongyuan's final contribution to him...

"That's good!"

Pei Suiwan nodded, her brows full of tenderness, and smiled beautifully: "It seems Husband is already confident, so I won't ask more..."

A good woman asks what she should ask, and never talks too much about what she shouldn't.

What she should know, Husband would naturally tell her.

"Being able to marry Suiwan is a blessing I've cultivated for ten lifetimes!" Chen Yan looked at this sensible woman and couldn't help but sigh.

This woman not only had a good appearance and a good family background, but was also intelligent and considerate...

A thousand gold is easy to get, a good wife is hard to find!

"Being able to marry Husband is also my greatest luck!" Pei Suiwan curled her lips into a smile, her eyes as gentle as water, meeting the man's eyes.

After a while of deep affection, Pei Suiwan prepared to look through all the dowry and betrothal gifts brought over, to facilitate the counting and storage tomorrow.

But Chen Yan reached out to stop her and picked her up by the waist, "Wife, there will be plenty of time to look at these things later..."

"It's not early now, we should get down to business!"

"Hmm..."

Pei Suiwan buried her head in Chen Yan's arms, her face becoming more flushed, filled with shyness.

Even though the nannies in the mansion had already given her relevant guidance before.

But when it was really about to start, she still couldn't suppress her nervousness...

Chen Yan placed the woman on the bed covered with the wedding quilt, licked his lips, and smiled wickedly: "I will certainly teach you everything I know, and I hope Suiwan will repay me with a gushing spring tonight, lingering in every thread!"
