Chapter 1809: Give you a chance, and you don't know how to use it

A month later, Su Xuewen returned to duty after his leave. A few days passed, and he was beaten up. He was cornered in a small alley, his head covered, and given a sound thrashing. He didn't even see clearly who had beaten him.

He was beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen.

Chen Xiaolan was heartbroken and suspected that Huang Dongxue had sent people to beat him, threatening to go and confront Huang Dongxue. She was stopped by Su Xuewen.

However, Chen Xiaolan still told Chen Guanlou about this matter.

"Is it serious?"

"It's all just superficial injuries. You know Xuewen's temper; he never offends anyone, so who would hit him from the shadows? It definitely has something to do with that person surnamed Huang."

"I know about this now; I will handle it."

After comforting Chen Xiaolan, Chen Guanlou arranged for people to investigate, and soon there was a result.

The person who did the beating was Huang Dongxue's neighbor, a first-rank martial artist who had just entered the path of Wu Gong. He had always admired Huang Dongxue and helped her out behind her back. He just wanted to teach Su Xuewen a lesson.

After a deeper investigation, it was confirmed that Huang Dongxue had not instigated it.

She had been busy with matchmaking recently and had no time to pay attention to the disturbances in the outside world.

At night, Chen Guanlou personally went to the door, and without waiting for the other party to speak, he directly grabbed the person, flew all the way, and arrived at the Su residence, in front of Su Xuewen.

It was late at night, and everyone was asleep.

Only Su Xuewen was awake, and he was completely bewildered.

"You are Huang's neighbor, Zhao Zhuzi?"

Zhao Zhuzi was scared to death.

In the middle of the night, he was sleeping soundly when he suddenly flew into mid-air, unable to make a sound, and his body couldn't move either. Having just entered the path of Wu Gong, he realized that he had encountered an expert and didn't even have the slightest room to resist.

He thought he was going to die and had already prepared his last words. He was just waiting to land so he could speak.

He never expected that he would be brought to the Su residence, in front of Su Xuewen.

Everything was clear.

He had provoked someone he shouldn't have.

Chen Guanlou threw Zhao Dazhu directly to the ground. "Xuewen, he is the one who hit you from the shadows. I've brought him here; do whatever you want! Even if you kill him, I can handle the aftermath for you, ensuring it won't implicate you."

Zhao Dazhu looked terrified but couldn't make a sound.

Su Xuewen looked confused. "Uncle, why would I kill him? Don't joke around."

Chen Guanlou's expression was half-smiling. "This person admires Miss Huang, and he hit you from the shadows to stand up for her. Look in the mirror; the swelling on your face hasn't gone down yet. Don't you want to take revenge?"

Su Xuewen shook his head and answered decisively, "I don't!"

He had a deep understanding of his uncle's certain dark tastes.

His uncle always wanted him to see blood, but he wasn't willing; he refused!

Chen Guanlou raised his eyebrows and smiled, saying very casually, "If you're not willing, then forget it."

He kicked Zhao Dazhu.

Then, Zhao Dazhu could speak, and his body could move.

"What should you say?"

Chen Guanlou's voice exploded in Zhao Dazhu's ears like a devil's whisper.

Zhao Dazhu understood and kowtowed to Su Xuewen. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I shouldn't have hit you from the shadows out of jealousy. You can hit me back; I promise not to fight back."

Su Xuewen took a deep breath. "Does Miss Huang know about this?"

"She doesn't know. She hasn't even spoken two words to me. Everything was my own doing. Please give me a chance to atone, Young Master Su."

"No need! You can go. From now on, let's keep to our own paths."

"This..." Zhao Dazhu hesitated. Would this work?

Chen Guanlou flicked his sleeve, and Zhao Dazhu instantly discovered that not only could he not speak, but he couldn't even hear. His five senses had been sealed by someone. What kind of cultivation was this?

His eyes, the only thing that could move, revealed a look of terror.

Chen Guanlou examined Su Xuewen's complexion; his eyes were bright and spirited. "It looks like you've recovered well. How has your mood been lately?"

"Quite good, thank you for your concern, Uncle. There was really no need for you to stay up in the middle of the night."

Chen Guanlou was so angry he laughed. "You brat, if it weren't for you, would I be happy to run around in the middle of the night? Is a lady's embrace not fragrant, or is the bedding at home not soft enough?"

"These days, I've caused everyone a lot of trouble, and it's my fault that you had to worry for me, Uncle. I'll treat you to a meal another day to apologize; please don't refuse, Uncle."

"Do you still have money?"

One sentence directly broke Su Xuewen's defenses.

He gritted his teeth. "When I save up enough money, I'll treat you to wine, Uncle."

"Fine! I accept this sentiment; I'll wait for the day you save up enough money. How do you want to handle this brat?"

Su Xuewen hurriedly said, "Uncle, can you send him back? Don't hurt him."

"Womanly benevolence!" Chen Guanlou was very disdainful.

"It's not womanly benevolence, but rather, I don't want to get entangled anymore; it's meaningless."

"You just deserved to be beaten! You wanted to be beaten by Miss Huang, but she wouldn't pay you any mind. Now that Zhao Dazhu has stood up for Miss Huang, your heart is finally at ease, and your guilt is gone. You are not only pretentious but also hypocritical. Think about it carefully!"

Su Xuewen couldn't refute this.

Indeed, after being beaten, the guilt in his heart suddenly vanished. In his heart, what he owed Huang Dongxue had all been repaid because of that beating.

From now on, they owed each other nothing.

He lowered his head and smiled. "Uncle is right to scold me, but I can't change; I am just this kind of person."

"Suit yourself! In the future, stop making your mother angry. Her requirements for you aren't high; compared to other people's children, they can be called no requirements at all."

"I'll remember that. Don't worry, Uncle, I won't make Mother angry in the future."

Chen Guanlou patted his shoulder, then carried Zhao Dazhu and left the Su residence.

He sent Zhao Dazhu back to the Zhao residence, a matter of convenience, and left behind one sentence: "Don't let me see you in the capital again, understand?"

Zhao Dazhu's body returned to normal, and he nodded repeatedly. "Don't worry, Uncle of the Su family, I will leave the capital tomorrow. I will never come back again."

"That's not necessary. Five years! Within five years, don't let me see you in the capital."

Before the words had faded, the person was already far away.

Zhao Dazhu finally came back to life and let out a long sigh of relief.

Not daring to delay for a moment, he hurriedly packed his luggage, said goodbye to his family at dawn, and followed the earliest group leaving the city to depart from the capital.

Late at night, Chen Guanlou rested with Concubine Jing.

He lay in Concubine Jing's arms, eating iced fruit, squinting his eyes, looking very satisfied.

Concubine Jing asked him softly, "Does my lord want to see the child and get close to him?"

Chen Guanlou shook his head. "Why should I see him? Since he has already been registered under your eldest brother's name, don't cause any more complications."

"My eldest brother is almost at his end," Concubine Jing muttered.

"Having lived for so many years, it's enough," Chen Guanlou said without any emotion. That the eldest brother of the Shen family could live for so many years was thanks to Medical Official Mu regularly adjusting the prescription and providing medicine.

For someone whose body had long been hollowed out to persist for so many years could be called a medical miracle.

"The child lost his father when he was so small; shouldn't you, his biological father, step up?"

Chen Guanlou glanced at her. "You are confused! If he recognizes me as his father, what will happen to your Shen family? See if he is willing to take the surname Shen or Chen when he grows up. Don't end up with a third generation returning to the ancestral clan; it's annoying!"

Whenever the child was mentioned, he got a headache.

Even though he didn't have to worry about a thing, he still felt annoyed.

Especially after experiencing Su Xuewen's troublesome affairs, he was even more convinced that children were a debt. He refused debt! ===== CHAPTER 1810 =====
