Chapter 1659: Besides Admiration, One Can Only Admire

Consort Jing, having achieved her wish, was radiant, and her complexion looked even better than before.

The smile on her face couldn't stop at all.

Chen Guanlou accompanied her in conversation. "Wish fulfilled, the Shen family has an heir; are you satisfied?"

"Many thanks, Master; give him a nickname, will you?"

Chen Guanlou glanced at the child who had been born only a few days ago; he was ugly.

"Just call him Ugly Egg."

"No!" Consort Jing was very dismissive. "My son, even if he is to have a lowly name, he cannot be ruined like this. Forget it, forget it, I don't count on you. You aren't even willing to hold him?"

"Why should I hold him? You aren't afraid I'll drop him."

Consort Jing finally confirmed that Chen Guanlou truly didn't like children, not at all. He could see blood-related family affection in others, but he couldn't see it in himself at all.

She didn't force it.

Chen Guanlou brought up the serious matter. "What is wrong with your eldest brother, dead and lifeless, does he really not want to live?"

Consort Jing was also very worried. "I can't do anything about him either; I can only let him be. Raise him well for a few years, and he can live as long as he can."

"I won't care about the child. However, if you have any difficulties, feel free to come to me. I will provide money and effort without a second word. As for other matters, I can't help."

"You don't care about your own bloodline either?" Consort Jing asked tentatively.

Chen Guanlou scoffed, hooking the child's nose with his hand. "Why should I care?"

He was immortal; children were a burden to him.

He didn't need so-called bloodline to pass on the family line.

Consort Jing didn't understand, but she respected it.

From the beginning, she never thought about letting the other party participate in the child's growth.

"Hiding like this and not seeing people is not a solution." Chen Guanlou pointed out.

Not showing up for a long time, people in the capital would definitely be suspicious.

Consort Jing immediately said: "When my body is raised well, I will find an opportunity to show up and let others know I am not dead yet. Speaking of this, some time ago, Consort Xiao sent me an invitation to go out and enjoy flowers together."

"You and her are considered enemies; why did she invite you?" Chen Guanlou didn't understand. Are the grudges and hatreds between women so complicated?

"Of course, it is to stimulate the Empress Dowager. However, I have already refused her. She is full of confidence, but I dare not compare with her. Just like you said, I have grudges with her; she invited me, and she certainly didn't have good intentions. While stimulating the Empress Dowager, she would conveniently pull me into the fire pit."

"Why does she want to stimulate the Empress Dowager? Is she tired of living?" Chen Guanlou didn't understand; if the power is weak, one should logically be cautious. Hitting it head-on, what is the point?

Consort Jing explained: "She has three sons, and they are all adults, and she has the life-saving edict of the late Emperor in her hands. Naturally, she is not afraid! I dare not compare with her. Rui Wang is young; the most important thing right now is to ensure Rui Wang can grow up safely."

As long as Rui Wang can live to adulthood, all difficulties will be solved.

The Ancestral Temple bullies Rui Wang because he is young and cannot come forward to seek justice for himself. Once he is an adult, if the Ancestral Temple bullies him like this again, Rui Wang can take people to smash the Ancestral Temple, and the imperial court wouldn't dare to let out a fart. This matter must be solved within the clan.

Adulthood means having the right to speak, and the power granted by the Prince's title also has a subject, which can be argued in the clan assembly.

Consort Jing is only Rui Wang's mother; she has a poor background, so she cannot come forward to argue.

Logically, she can fight!

It's just that if she does this, they will become targets. Whether Rui Wang can grow up safely becomes a problem.

"I think she is tired of living. You stay away from Consort Xiao and don't be used by her. This woman is crazy." Chen Guanlou was very disgusted.

Before the other party could respond, he muttered another sentence, "You are also crazy."

Consort Jing laughed instead. "If I weren't crazy, Master wouldn't have agreed to help me. Master doesn't like gentle and affectionate women, but prefers crazy women like me. In the final analysis, I am just catering to his preferences."

Chen Guanlou pinched the other party's chin. "Don't go crazy in the future; I won't continue to accompany you in your nonsense. Take care of yourself."

Consort Jing took the opportunity to stick to him. "Gentle and affectionate is like a nutritious and light meal; it is beneficial to the body, but it is easy to get tired of eating. Big fish and meat, spicy enough, tasty enough, cool enough. May I ask Master Chen, are you satisfied with eating?"

Chen Guanlou raised an eyebrow and smiled. "If I weren't satisfied, how could I let you mess around. I've accompanied you for several days, and I should return to the capital. You raise yourself well, and if you have anything, send someone to tell me. In addition, I will take Physician Mu away and arrange for someone else from the Mu Family Medical Hall to take care of you and your son."

"Leaving so soon?"

"I have already delayed many days, and many official duties have piled up."

"Alright! I won't keep you." Consort Jing smiled, waving goodbye.

When Chen Guanlou left, he left a sum of silver and many precious medicinal materials.

Then he took Physician Mu and left the villa.

Physician Mu was clicking his tongue in admiration all the way. "I completely cannot understand Master's thinking; you are clearly willing to have children with women, yet you refuse to marry a wife. The child is born, and he doesn't take the surname Chen. What are you trying to do?"

"Trying to be happy, trying to be joyful; anyway, I don't care about blood-related family affection. The Chen family doesn't lack me alone. The Chen family has thousands of people, enough. If they are not tired and are willing to give birth and raise children, let them go. I am only responsible for providing seeds."

Physician Mu shook his head repeatedly, still unable to understand.

This kind of thinking is too rebellious and completely inconsistent with the current values.

"The Marquis's Mansion doesn't manage you either."

"The Marquis's Mansion has a pile of rotten things that can't be handled, so where would they have time to manage me. Even if they wanted to manage, they wouldn't be able to."

Chen Guanlou was quite smug.

As the Chen family population grew larger and larger, his seniority became higher and higher. He is no longer just Uncle Lou, but has been promoted to Grandpa Lou. He is a grandfather-level figure in the Chen family.

The people of his dead father's generation, that is, the generation of the Marquis of Pingjiang, have passed away one after another. Going up one generation, the generation he should call grandfather, there is no one left.

With his seniority, there are few elders qualified to manage him. If you exclude the clan elders who have already left the five-service period, there is not a single elder qualified to teach him a lesson.

Why?

Because their branch has always had few descendants and limited longevity. The ones above him are all older brothers; there is not a single uncle, they are all dead.

As for the older brothers, they are not born of the same father, so they can't manage him.

Even the eldest sister, Chen Xiaolan, used to nag a few words.

Ever since the Prince's daughter gave birth to children, even the nagging had stopped.

If one were to say he had no children, the Prince's daughter had already given birth to two.

Say he has children, the children don't take the surname Chen.

Besides, what woman in the world could surpass the Prince's daughter and marry Chen Guanlou?

None are worthy!

The Prince's daughter was to inherit the Prince's mansion and the title of Prince of the Blood. Court officials had to bow when they saw her!

No one can compare!

Medical Official Mu clicked his tongue in admiration; in this situation, it was indeed not suitable to marry a wife and have children. Even if Chen Guanlou had no marriage contract with the Prince's daughter, the world tacitly accepted that Chen Guanlou was the Prince's daughter's man. One might ask, who would dare to snatch a man from the Prince's daughter? The palace wouldn't agree to it either!

The account is rotten here.

On one side was the Prince's daughter, on the other was Imperial Consort Jing. Both had given birth to sons for Chen Guanlou. Half-brothers with the same father but different mothers.

This...

How should this account be calculated?

Physician Mu's head was big!

Besides admiration, one can only admire! ===== CHAPTER 1660 =====
