Chapter 72: Family reunion, Meng Chen's wishful thinking

"My Lord, who is this young master?"

Aunt Chen, who was standing next to Marquis Xuanwu, asked in a low voice about Meng Chen's origins. She was the maid who came with the Marquis' wife and was also Meng Zijin's biological mother.

Aunt Chen felt that Meng Chen looked quite familiar, and somewhat like the Duke of Qi when he was young. Could he be someone from the Duke's Mansion?

"He is Chen'er."

Chen'er? Aunt Chen was stunned for a moment. Wasn't Chen'er next to her?

She did not hear what happened in the dining hall, but as a concubine, she had no right to dine with the Marquis and his wife.

Wait! Could it be Prince Chen?
As an old lady in the Marquis's mansion, Aunt Chen immediately thought of who Chen'er was mentioned by Marquis Xuanwu.

She looked at Meng Chen in amazement as he was helping the Marquis' wife to calm down, and was secretly shocked that the young master, who had been missing for nearly fourteen years and was believed to be dead, had actually come back alive. This Marquis's Mansion was likely to undergo a change.

Aunt Chen couldn't help but look at Meng Chen. Now that the real thing was back, he, the substitute, might not be of much use.

The aunt who entered the palace later did not know the ins and outs of this matter. She just felt that Meng Chen was somewhat similar to Marquis Xuanwu, and guessed that he might be Marquis Xuanwu's nephew.

After a moment, Meng Chen, who had sorted out Meng's mother's spirit, withdrew his fingers. He looked at his mother with guilt in his eyes.

While sorting out his thoughts, Meng Chen saw a lot of his mother's memories and felt firsthand her grief and sadness after his disappearance. This made Meng Chen feel not only guilty but also regretful.

He was negligent.

When he was first brought to Qianyuan Sect, he was stunned by the joy of cultivating immortals and forgot about his parents in Jin State. If he had gone home and told them, Mother Meng would not have been so grief-stricken and would not have suffered from soul-leaving syndrome.

Meng Chen turned around and glanced at Meng Chen. Considering that he had accompanied his mother for many years on his behalf, he could tolerate him as long as this guy didn't commit suicide in front of him.

"Father, I have sorted out the sea of ​​consciousness for mother and cured her soul separation syndrome. She will wake up soon."

When Marquis Xuanwu heard this, he thought to himself that this was the method used by the immortals on earth. The soul-separation syndrome that even the grandmaster could not cure was cured with just a tap of the finger.

"You all go down." Marquis Xuanwu said to his concubines and children.

Meng Chen was quite surprised when he looked at his new brothers and sisters. His father was really fertile. Including his eldest brother who died young, he had nine children in total.

"Chen'er~"

Suddenly, a weak voice sounded. Meng Chen took the lead and ran to Meng Mu's bedside after hearing it, and hurriedly said, "Mom, Chen'er is here."

Meng Chen frowned slightly when he saw how active this stand-in was.

"You are not my Chen'er."

Meng's mother, whose soul-separation syndrome had been cured, looked at Meng Chen and shook her head. Her memory was now extremely clear, and she knew that the young man beside the bed was not her biological son, but just a substitute her husband had found to comfort her.

Meng Mu's words almost broke Meng Chen's defense.

He had played the role of a good son to Meng Mu for more than ten years, and now that the real guy has come back, is he going to be abandoned? !
Mother Meng raised her head with difficulty, and Meng Chen hurried forward to support her, calling softly, "Mother, Chen'er is here."

Hearing this, Jiang Yunhuai (Meng's mother) looked at Meng Chen, her eyes instantly reddened, she raised her hand and gently stroked his eyebrows and cheeks, tears could not stop flowing down, the joy of regaining what she had lost made her cry with joy, choking and saying:

“Wuwuwu… My dear son, I knew you were not dead even before I saw your corpse. It’s good that you are back. It’s good that you are back. I can see you again, and I will have no regrets even after a hundred years. Wuwuwu…”

Jiang Yunyao leaned in Meng Chen's arms and cried loudly, pouring out all her longing for him over the years. Her tears wet Meng Chen's clothes and made Meng Chen feel extremely guilty.

When Marquis Xuanwu saw this scene, his eyes flushed and he walked forward to comfort his wife.

"Don't cry, now that Chen'er is back, we are reunited as a family. How can you shed tears on such a festive day? It makes my eyes itchy and a lot of sand and dust have entered my eyes." As he comforted her, Marquis Xuanwu also shed tears. He held Jiang Yunwei and Meng Chen in his arms. After almost fourteen years, their family was finally reunited.

When concubines such as Aunt Chen saw this scene, they were not as happy as Marquis Xuanwu and his wife, especially the two concubines who gave birth to sons, their faces looked quite ugly.

Meng Chen lowered his head so that no one could see his expression.

After a while, Jiang Yunyao, who was tired of crying, fell asleep in Meng Chen's arms. Marquis Xuanwu asked everyone to leave so as not to disturb the mistress's rest, and Meng Chen stayed to accompany his mother.

…………

The prince’s villa, Tengyun Pavilion.

After Meng Chen returned to his residence, he immediately closed the door. His face instantly turned gloomy, as dark as if water was dripping from it. His eyes were red, and he let out bursts of low roars.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!!! Why is it that when that guy comes back, father and mother only have eyes for him! Why!"

"You've been missing for almost fourteen years, why would you come back? I've worked so hard to get all this, don't even think about taking it away from me! Rest!"

The two maids saw their prince's reaction so big, and the gentle and pretty maid in green hurriedly asked:

"Prince, what happened to you? Who's back?"

"Who else, except Meng Chen who should have died, can threaten my position!"

Meng Chen gritted his teeth, burning with anger, wishing Meng Chen would disappear immediately so that no one could threaten him.

You've been gone for almost fourteen years, why are you coming back!
Although they sisters are not old people in the Marquis' Mansion, they have heard some old people mention that there was once a Prince Meng Chen in the Marquis' Mansion, but he disappeared thirteen or fourteen years ago. So, that person is back again?

Otherwise, why would the prince be so angry?

Meng Chen's mind is now full of how to get rid of Meng Chen without anyone noticing, but because of Meng Chen's ability to cure the soul-separation syndrome, and because he guessed that Meng Chen was quite powerful, he did not dare to act rashly.

"Prince, do you want to get rid of that Meng Chen?"

The gorgeous and charming maid in red saw through her master's thoughts at a glance. After all, her master was only an adopted son of the Marquis's Mansion. Now that the real master has returned, if she wants to avoid being abandoned, she must get rid of Meng Chen.

Meng Chen: "Why, do you have any good ideas?"

The maid in red suggested, "You can go to the Shadow Tower and offer a reward. They can even assassinate a Grandmaster. Even if Meng Chen has martial arts skills, can he be stronger than a Grandmaster?"

"No, it's too obvious."

However, Meng Chen refused without a second thought. If Meng Chen died in an assassination, he would be the first suspect.

The maid in red: "Don't worry, my lord. You can choose how Meng Chen dies in the Shadow Tower. It doesn't matter if he dies in the street or dies accidentally."

Upon hearing this, Meng Chen remembered that Shadow Tower did have this statement. After all, this maid of his was once a Xuan killer from Shadow Tower, and her strength was also in the sixth rank.

Meng Chen: "After a while, you can help me issue the mission. Give an assassination mission to all the descendants of the Marquis' Mansion, including me. Kill a few more people in the Marquis' Mansion and make them accidents."

It has to be said that Meng Chen was still very cautious. As long as all the descendants of the Marquis' Mansion were on the assassination list, he would not be suspected.

Unfortunately, he still didn't know what kind of person Meng Chen, whom he was trying so hard to get rid of, was. If he knew, he wouldn't be so wishful thinking.
