The golden rooster crowed, and the sun rose from the east.
Chen Guhong struggled to sit up in bed with the help of a servant girl. He took a cup of water to rinse his mouth, and then drank half a cup of warm water.
"Master, this is today's medicine." The servant girl brought over a tray, and on it was a translucent teacup made of jasper.
"Okay." Chen Guhong exhaled. The half cup of warm water made him feel refreshed.
He took the teacup and was about to drink it.
"Master!" The servant girl suddenly called out.
"What's wrong?" Chen Guhong was a little surprised.
"No … nothing. I just feel that master has been a lot more tired recently." The servant girl lowered her head.
This servant girl had been with Chen Guhong for a few years, and he knew what she was thinking. She just wanted to "rise up" and get rid of her identity as a servant girl.
But she didn't know that even if she followed Chen Guhong, her life wouldn't be as good as it was now.
"Haha, it's just that I'm getting old and can't stay up late." Chen Guhong said.
After that, he raised his right hand and drank the medicine in the cup.
After putting the teacup back, he said, "You can leave."
After the servant girl left, Chen Guhong's face suddenly changed. He turned to the end of the bed and spat out a mouthful of water.
"Cough cough!
Cough cough! "
Chen Guhong coughed laboriously, and his face slowly turned red.
He held onto the side of the bed and rested for a while. Then, he took out a small copper medicine bottle and poured out a vermilion pill. He raised his head and swallowed it.
"If you don't kill the snake, it will hurt you."
Two lines of tears flowed from Chen Guhong's eyes. After a while, the water on the floor at the end of the bed dried. He took out another medicine bottle and poured out a green pill.
"Lord Chen, this red pill is to counter the poison you brought. As for this green pill, the person who consumes it will slowly show signs of dying. In fact, it is not harmful to the human body at all. Er … not entirely. The main thing is that it will make one feel short of breath and weak, but it will not harm one's foundation."
After Chen Guhong swallowed the green pill, he slowly got up and put on his clothes.
As soon as she walked out of the room, she saw her son, Chen Wenyao, sitting in the courtyard and groping the young maidservant beside him.
"What are you doing here?" Chen Guhong had never been kind to Chen Wenyao.
"Yo ~ Dad, you're up."
Seeing Chen Guhong, Chen Wenyao chuckled and removed his hand from the maidservant's buttocks. He got up and walked over.
"I heard that Father's health hasn't been good recently. I'm worried about you, so I came to see you.
Hehe, aren't you fine? "
"Bastard!" Chen Guhong shouted angrily, then coughed repeatedly.
Looking at the bent Chen Guhong, Chen Wenyao's face hardened and his tone became fierce. "Dad, I heard that you're going to let that little bastard from the second branch take over?
Am I your biological son, or is he your biological son?! "
"Bastard!
How dare you talk to your father like that! "Chen Guhong pointed at Chen Wenyao and scolded.
"Hey!" Chen Wenyao laughed disdainfully. "Who are you trying to scare?!
Could it be that after hanging around with the new master for two days, you really think you're the number one person in the Chen family? "
He stretched out his hand and slapped Chen Guhong's finger away. "Chen Guhong, did you forget?
When you were eight years old, when my mother punished you, I was the one who did it.
You're still pretending to be my dad?
I'm giving you face by calling you dad! "
After Chen Wenyao finished speaking, he stepped forward and kicked Chen Guhong to the ground.
"Pei!"
A white shadow fell.
"My mother was right, you're a pile of mud!
Dog shit! "
Chen Wenyao's smile became more and more savage. "Let me tell you, the second branch has been locked up by me!
No matter how good your calculations are, it's useless!
In our family, only my mother has the final say!
Hahahaha! "
"B … Bastard!"
Chen Guhong lay on the ground, looking at Chen Wenyao's back, full of sadness.
"Master, are you okay?"
The little maid saw Chen Guhong leave and quickly ran over. She supported Chen Guhong to stand up.
"Hey, you go out."
The little maid's face changed. After struggling for a while, she shook off Chen Guhong's arm and took two steps back. She looked at Chen Guhong and said, "Young master is right, you're a pile of mud!
I've been counting on you for so many years, but you've never looked at me! "
"What's wrong with me!
Or is it like what young master said, you're a waste? "
"Get out!
Get out of my sight! "Chen Guhong leaned against the door frame, trembling with anger.
"Waste!
Waste! "
The little maid scolded again, turned and ran out.
At this moment, Chen Guhong seemed to have aged 20 years, looking like the sun setting in the west. He turned and walked into the room, closing the door.
Clap, clap, clap!
Applause sounded.
"Wonderful, wonderful!"
A man in his thirties sat in the hall, looking at Chen Guhong with eyes full of admiration.
"I've made a fool of myself." Chen Guhong smiled bitterly.
"No, no."
The man was the leader of the Chen family's guards, Chen Moran. He was not a member of the Chen family, nor did he belong to the Chen family. He was under the direct control of Zhou Fu.
However, only Chen Guhong knew about this. The rest of the Chen family didn't know.
"If we're talking about sinister, it's you guys!
Rough men like us are suitable for fighting and killing.
If it was me just now, that person's head would be hanging on the roof right now. "
Chen Guhong's mouth twitched. He didn't want to continue with this kind of obvious praise and sarcasm.
"This is a bribe from your wife." Chen Moran took out a few banknotes and put them on the table.
"Oh?
You're not going to accept it? "Chen Guhong was a little surprised. Was this person so noble?
He didn't believe it.
Chen Moran rolled his eyes. "Accept your head. This is milord's money. If I accept it today, you can help me collect my corpse tomorrow.
I'm greedy, but I'm not blind.
By the way, your wife seduced me. Hehe, don't worry, I didn't touch her. "
As soon as he said this, Chen Guhong's face instantly darkened.
"By the way, according to my subordinates' investigation, your wife is having an affair with that old man of your family. How about it, do you want me to help you investigate?"
Chen Guhong suddenly wanted to hit someone, even though he knew he couldn't beat the person in front of him.
"Can we change the topic?"
"Yes, yes." Chen Moran nodded. "By the way, that bastard outside just now doesn't seem to be your son."
Bang!
A teacup was smashed on the ground.
Chen Guhong punched Chen Moran in the face.
"Aiya, okay, okay, I'm just saying. Don't be angry." Chen Moran, who was beaten, laughed.
Chen Guhong, who was beaten up, grimaced in pain and rubbed his wrist.
"Chen family head, now that you've thrown the mess to milord, are you ready to bear the consequences?" Chen Moran's face turned serious and he asked in a deep voice.
At this moment, Chen Guhong felt that the depression in his heart had dissipated a lot. He sighed, "I'm prepared."
