Chapter 972: 972 Chapter Above the Funeral (2nd Update)

And his cousin Chen Beilie expressed some worries, "Brother, you said that stinky woman, Chen Rushi, has gone to Beijiang, could she really bring back some reinforcements?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiangshang just sneered coldly, "What reinforcements could she possibly have? She’s most likely just seeking help from Xue An!"

"That’s exactly what I’m worried about! Knowing Xue An’s capabilities, all of us combined wouldn’t even compare to the strength of one of his fingers!"

Chen Xiangshang put down his wine cup, a mocking smirk appearing on his face, "So, you’re scared?"

Chen Beilie swallowed hard and nodded slightly, "Now tell me, who in this entire world isn’t afraid of Mr. Xue?"

"If you’re scared, you can always back out!"

"But..."

At this moment, Chen Xiangshang let out a cold laugh, "I admit that Xue An is indeed formidable, but don’t forget! What is his status, and what is hers?"

"Brother, what do you mean?"

"Chen Rushi has deep feelings for Xue An, and this is no secret in Zhongdu! The key point is Xue An already has a wife! And not just any wife, but a member of the most prominent family in today’s Zhongdu, the An Family. Chen Rushi obviously stands no chance!"

"When Chen Xiuhe was alive, everyone still showed some respect! But now Chen Xiuhe is dead!"

"Do you think Xue An would risk offending his own wife to help Chen Rushi?"

This made Chen Beilie nod in confusion, "That does make sense, but what if Chen Rushi really manages to enlist Xue An’s help?"

"Even if she does, so what? Don’t forget, what is our surname?" Chen Xiangshang said, standing up, his face full of pride.

"We’re all scions of the Chen Family, and furthermore, we are males! Right now the direct line of the Chen Family is dwindling, Chen Xiuhe has died, and Chen Rushi’s father lost his sanity due to delusion earlier this year! Now, there is practically only Chen Rushi left—a mere woman!"

"What does this mean? This means there is no one left to carry on! In such a situation, it is perfectly natural for us to inherit the Chen Family’s assets!"

"As formidable as Xue An might be, he has no place meddling in this matter, after all, this is an internal issue of the Chen Family!"

Upon hearing his cousin Chen Xiangshang speak in such a way, Chen Beilie’s eyes lit up, then he raised his cup in admiration, "Brother, hearing you speak makes me feel assured! Cheers to you!"

Chen Xiangshang smiled smugly, "I’ve always said that not everything in this world can be solved just by using brute force! That Chen Xiuhe just couldn’t understand this, foolishly trying to contend with foreign deities!"

"Isn’t that just seeking death?"

So saying, the two of them, each with their own schemes, drained their cups in one go.

Afterward, a drunken Chen Xiangshang said, "When the funeral is over, let’s set up a man to get rid of this Chen Rushi. By then, the assets of the Chen Family will belong to us!"

Speaking thus, he burst into loud, carefree laughter.

The next day.

The atmosphere in all of Zhongdu had become somewhat somber.

For everyone knew that today was the day Chen Xiuhe, the old master of the Chen Family, was to be buried.

Early in the morning, people from all over Zhongdu spontaneously came to send off this old man who had gained glory and added luster to the men of the Hua Clan.

At the Chen household, meanwhile, the gates were filled with white, and cries filled the air.

Every great family from Zhongdu also came to pay their respects.

Nevertheless, the expression of these families was somewhat unusual.

Especially when they saw that Chen Rushi, who should have been mourning by the coffin, was actually not there, they began to murmur in quiet tones.

"It’s incredibly disheartening! The old master’s body isn’t even cold yet, and the Chen Family has already begun fighting over the inheritance!"

"Tsk tsk, look at Chen Xiangshang and Chen Beilie, these brothers. Although they wear mourning clothes, there is not a hint of sorrow in their demeanor, just pure unadulterated ambition!"

"If it weren’t for their ruthless ambition, how could they do such a thing as to bully a helpless woman!"

Although these great families were not typically considered good people.

Yet in this matter, they all displayed tremendous indignation.

Especially upon seeing Xue An entering. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
