Chapter 1765: Say so earlier! I'll give you ten or eight young widows!

~8 min read 1,425 words

"Do you truly love young widows? Not a joke?"

Chen Guanfu's expression was clearly unbelievable, incredulous. He had always thought that it was just a street rumor, a tease by the world about Chen Guanlou, or even slander.

Never expected that this guy Chen Guanlou really didn't take the usual path.

He didn't want a virgin, but was thinking about a widow whose husband had died.

He frowned deeply, beginning to doubt the other party's integrity.

"What kind of look is that? I just like young widows, not stealing young widows; I'm not a lecher. Don't think crookedly."

"Is it that I think crookedly, or are you not serious." Chen Guanfu snorted coldly. "If you want a beautiful daughter of an official family, I can get you ten or eight at any time. But you only want a beautiful young widow; you are really making it difficult for me."

"You must not make it difficult!"

Chen Guanlou hurriedly stopped him, fearing that Chen Guanfu would really find him ten or eight widows.

"I won't last long with Lady Gu, it will end in three or five years at most. At that time, she will have her own place to go. Don't worry blindly."

Chen Guanfu looked at him, his eyes becoming more suspicious, doubting his integrity, doubting his character.

And so, he asked directly, "Have you stolen anyone?"

Chen Guanlou was so angry he vomited blood.

Slander!

All slander!

Reputation ruined!

So angry!

"No!"

"Really no? Can you look at me and say it again."

"I said no, ten times is still no."

Chen Guanfu was half-believing and half-doubting; he would certainly believe Chen Guanlou in other matters. In the matter of men and women, even if the other party swore an oath, he wouldn't dare to believe it completely.

It was really that Chen Guanlou didn't take the usual path, and his integrity had long been shattered. For example, loving to visit brothels didn't count as a matter. As a man, everyone loves to visit brothels. However, visiting brothels to the point of treating the brothel as half a home, staying in the brothel for several months a year, and even refusing to marry and have children for this reason, Chen Guanlou was the only one around.

He wouldn't listen to anyone's persuasion.

Fortunately, he was willing to have children with the Prince's daughter, and even had two boys.

It's just a pity that the children didn't carry the surname Chen! Cheapening the Lu Prince's mansion.

With Chen Guanlou's physique, looks, figure, plus a flexible brain, the children born must be both good-looking and smart. But it cheapened that old bastard Prince Lu, not only becoming a grandfather but also having two excellent successors.

Chen Guanfu's mood was truly very complicated.

He coughed lightly. "Why did you think of taking a concubine this time? Just because she is a widow?"

"Lady Gu is from a clean family, so I must give her an identity. I can't let her follow me unclearly. Taking a concubine is quite good, and it can be considered setting a status."

Chen Guanlou didn't care about these, but the woman did.

The status of a concubine was a hundred times better than following him to mess around without a name or status, and in the future, she could find a good family to remarry. She wouldn't be slandered and manipulated.

Chen Guanfu sneered upon hearing this. "If you covet beauty, just say so; why say those high-sounding words."

"It sounds like you don't covet beauty." Chen Guanlou immediately retorted, "Who, at such an old age, took an eighteen-year-old concubine?"

Chen Guanfu was ashamed and angry, defending, "I took a concubine properly."

"Who is not serious? You are the one who is not serious." Chen Guanlou was angry; his reputation was completely ruined. Taking a concubine was also accused of being not serious.

It's so hard to be a man these days!

Chen Guanfu stroked his beard and didn't argue with the person who was angry and embarrassed.

He looked at Chen Guanlou's face, which looked like it was in its twenties, and it would be a lie to say he wasn't envious.

"It's just your face that is too deceptive, making people forget your real age. No wonder big girls and little wives all covet you. Seriously, tomorrow I'll introduce you to a widow from an official family; do you want her?"

Chen Guanlou hurriedly refused and stated his attitude, "Don't! It's not that I want any widow; I'm very picky, okay? Remember, it's a young widow, a beautiful young widow! A mature, stunning young widow with charm. Don't stuff any crooked melons and cracked dates here; I'm not a garbage recycling station, and even less a tool for you to win over political connections."

"Nonsense! I haven't fallen to the point of needing to use you as a tool to win over connections." Chen Guanfu was angry, feeling his reputation was ruined. Could it be that in his own brother's eyes, he was a person who would do anything for political prospects?

"That's not certain!" Chen Guanlou chuckled twice. "Don't worry about my affairs; worry about yourself. If there's nothing else, I'm leaving."

"If you take a concubine, do you want to hold a banquet? If so, I'll let the chief steward take people to handle it for you. A house full of brothers, let's have some fun together."

Chen Guanlou didn't want to hold one.

One was that he found it annoying, and the other was that he thought Lady Gu's status was inappropriate. Although she was a good concubine! It wasn't enough to hold a big banquet. He wasn't that particular.

Chen Guanfu insisted on taking this opportunity to hold a banquet, not only contributing people and effort but also covering all expenses. He wouldn't let Chen Guanlou spend a single wen.

The venue was also ready-made.

The three-entry mansion that the Hou Fu gave to Chen Guanlou had been empty, just right for taking a concubine and holding a banquet. The place was spacious enough and decent enough.

Chen Guanlou looked at the other party suspiciously. "What do you want to do?"

"There hasn't been any joyful event in the mansion for a long time, so I want to take your taking a concubine as an opportunity to celebrate."

"The Hou Fu wants to hold a banquet, there are plenty of excuses. Today is the wife's birthday, tomorrow is someone's birthday... why are you thinking about me taking a concubine? You didn't tell the truth."

Chen Guanfu coughed lightly, covering up his embarrassment. He still decided to tell the truth. "Inviting people to the Hou Fu as guests has the suspicion of forming a clique, which easily invites suspicion from the palace and criticism from court officials.

You are different; this is your first time taking a concubine, so inviting a few more guests is understandable to others. Moreover, your official status is just a Heavenly Prison Warden, plus a hereditary Company Commander. Holding a grand banquet and inviting guests, with a few familiar high-ranking officials and nobles to celebrate, the censor can't impeach you. After all, you are at such an old age, you have to consider descendants."

Wait?

Who is at such an old age!

Chen Guanlou was angry and embarrassed.

Chen Guanfu was too insidious; he talked about the matter, and at the end, he didn't forget to mock him twice.

"Even if I am at an old age, I am younger than you." Chen Guanlou complained. "The implication is that the Hou Fu needs to worry about its reputation, but I don't. Using the name of me taking a concubine, you are taking the opportunity to form a clique for personal gain. What benefits do I have?"

"What benefits do you want?" Chen Guanfu was overjoyed; asking for benefits showed that the matter was negotiable.

That's great!

Chen Guanlou thought for a while and asked for two sets of head ornaments for Lady Gu, various high-quality fabrics, various jewelry...

Chen Guanfu listened to the other party's conditions, was silent for a moment, and finally said, "You are generous to women."

"Asking for these things is not only for Lady Gu, but my eldest sister and niece also have a share. Being generous to women, women will also serve attentively. Each takes what they need."

"Aren't you afraid that women will see money and have second thoughts?"

"Prince's son, have you treated a Ninth Rank warrior as a display?" ===== CHAPTER 1766 =====
