Chapter 92: Imperial Decree to Pick Up Chicks!

  "What's to be done?"

  Chen Dashi thought for a moment, that old man was a strong martial artist in the Wu Zong realm, if he went to say he wanted to cancel the engagement, one slap would come over and he would be crippled or even killed.

  Chen Xiaoli was also furious in her heart, previously thinking of giving Chen Dasheng a surprise, running to the Nan Gong family to propose, now the proposal has been made, but what she got was not surprise, but horror.

  Chen Xiaoli thought for a moment, then slapped the table and said to Chen Dasheng, "You little scoundrel, this marriage is settled, whether you agree or not, it's decided!"

  "What? Sister, what about Xiao Min?" Chen Daxing was stunned for a moment. He had thought that things were taking a turn for the better, but why did Chen Xiaoli suddenly change her attitude?

  Hope is still pinned on Liu Xiaomin, believing that with the relationship between Chen Xiaoli and Liu Xiaomin, Chen Xiaoli should not ignore her own good sister.

  Chen Xiaoli said, "The marriage between the Nan Gong family and us is now a difficult situation to get out of. Zi Xuan, this little girl, you have already promised to marry her. Once you marry Zi Xuan, your sister will no longer interfere with your private life. Xiao Min can only be sacrificed. If you really like her, let her be your mistress or concubine, it's all possible. If Xiao Min is unwilling, I'll help you deal with it."

  "Really? Is that okay?" Chen Dasheng's eyes almost popped out upon hearing this, wasn't this encouraging him to have multiple wives and concubines?

  Chen Xiaoli's mouth curled up slightly, "What's so strange about that? Many big shots' political marriages are like that. How many of those men can be content with just one wife and not go looking for women outside? Having three wives and four concubines is a perfectly normal thing."

  Chen Daxing was speechless, "Sister, you're also a girl!"

  Chen Xiaoli gave a faint smile, ignoring Chen Dasheng's words. "You are the only male heir of our Chen family. Dad died suddenly and didn't leave any instructions. However, when Mom passed away, she told me to take good care of you. You should carry on the legacy of our Chen family, inherit the incense lamp, and find several women to marry, it doesn't matter."

  Chen Xiaoli's thoughts are quite feudal, and it's not surprising that he would have such an idea. Chen Daxing listened to Chen Xiaoli bringing out his parents and didn't know what to say for a while. After a moment, he said, "Sister, if I were to marry Nan Gong Zi Xuan, wouldn't the Nan Gong family cause me trouble if I were to find another woman?"

  "For a family like the Nan Gong's, daughters who are married off are just water splashed out. When it comes to political marriages, wives are just for show, and no one cares how many lovers you have." Chen Xiao Li said.

  Chen Daxing thought for a moment and said, "I'm not entirely opposed to this marriage, but I do have some reservations. If you want me to agree, that's fine, but I won't rush into it. I don't want to get married the first time we meet!"

  "I didn't say you have to get married now!" Chen Xiaoli heard this and couldn't help but laugh, "Give you half a year's time, can you win Zi Xuan over for me?"

  "Half a year? Isn't that too rushed?" Chen Dasheng's face turned sour again upon hearing this.

  "Hasty? You're telling me hasty?" Chen Xiaoli was instantly amused, "I've only been away for less than a month and you've already hit a home run with Xiao Min. Now I'm giving you half a year's time, and you still think it's hasty?"

  "That's not the same situation! You also saw Nangong Zixuan, she didn't give me a good face at all. The difficulty is different, and it will definitely take longer!" Chen Dasheng's face twitched, how could he tell her that he was deceiving her now?

  "How long will it take then?" Chen Xiaoli asked helplessly.

  "It'll take at least two or three years, maybe even five!"

  "In three to five years, thanks for thinking of it!" As soon as the words fell, Chen Xiaoli scolded him, "Give you a year's time, before your university graduation, must get Zi Xuan drunk!"

  "Huh?"

  "Alright, alright, it's settled then. Remember, you're now officially tasked with wooing girls, so be more careful, I'll go find Uncle Chen to explain!" Chen Xiaoli abruptly and crudely cut off Chen Dasheng's urge to continue arguing.

  "Imperial order to pick up girls?" Chen Dajun shrugged his shoulders, "I'll give it a try, but I don't dare guarantee success!"

  "Stinky brat!" Chen Xiaoli couldn't help but scold with a laugh, lifting his leg to roughly kick Chen Dasheng's chair. "Hurry up and go to sleep, don't forget what I told you, and be more polite to Zi Xuan from now on, she's a young lady from a wealthy family, not comparable to us country bumpkins!"

  "Yes, yes, yes! Little one obeys!"

  Chen Dasheng nodded repeatedly, but it was unclear whether he had actually taken in what was said. He stood up, stretched his waist and walked out.

  Looking at Chen Daxing's back, Chen Xiaoli shook his head in dismay. This kid was always so carefree and idle, seemingly nothing could ever get him to take things seriously.

  If this younger brother can win over Nangong Zixuan, with the backing of the Nangong family, his future will be bright and smooth sailing. He has already paved the way for him, it's just a matter of whether he takes advantage of it or not.

  "Damn it, how dare he take advantage of my absence and hook up with Xiao Min! This is outrageous!" Chen Xiaoli was furious when she thought about Chen Daxing getting together with Liu Xiaomin. She wanted to call Liu Xiaomin to confirm the news, but as soon as she took out her phone, she realized that if the call went through, she wouldn't know what to say or how to start the conversation.

  With a sigh, Chen Xiaoli hung up the phone and could only shake his head helplessly. Whether this matter was true or not, the engagement between Chen Daxing and Nangong Zixuan would be hard to change now.

  ——

  Dongjiao Villa District, Liu's residence.

  "Sister, who called you? Your face is all red?"

  A family sat in the living room watching TV, after Liu Xiaomin answered a phone call, she seemed a bit restless, and soon her face turned red, which was discovered by the keen-eyed Liu Hao.

  Liu Rongfa and Yu Shuang also cast their eyes on Liu Xiaomin, with three pairs of eyes filled with suspicion.

  Liu Xiaomin hastily shook her head, "No one, just a friend!"

  The phone call just now was made by Chen Daxing, that guy actually made a very embarrassing request to himself, he deceived Chen Xiaoli and said that they were good together, if Chen Xiaoli called over, he must let him help cover it up.

  "This guy really dares to say anything, I don't know what he's thinking!" Liu Xiaomin's mind was completely messed up after hanging up the phone, holding the mobile phone in her hand like a time bomb, not knowing when Chen Xiaoli would call again.

  What should I say at that time? If it's not handled properly, it will affect my reputation! Liu Xiaomin scolded Chen Daxing in her heart.

  The three of them were all curious, and Yu Shuang asked, "Min Min, tomorrow is the weekend again, don't you and Da Sheng have a date?"

  As soon as Yu Shuang mentioned Chen Da Sheng, Liu Xiao Min's body involuntarily shook slightly, and then pretended to calm down, saying, "No, Little Li sister came back today, he was busy, so..."

  "Oh? Has Master Chen returned today?" Liu Rongfa's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "I haven't been to Sister Fang's temple to worship the Buddha for a long time either. Xiaomin, why don't you accompany Dad to pray for blessings tomorrow?"

  After Chen Dashi's visit last week, Liu Rongfa and Yu Shuang could see that Liu Xiaomin and Chen Dashi still had a good chance of getting together. Now that Chen Xiaoli is back, she took Liu Xiaomin to visit Chen Dashi, and this matter might just be settled like this. Given the relationship between Liu Xiaomin and Chen Xiaoli, it's likely that good sisters will become good sister-in-laws, and Chen Xiaoli would also be happy to accept this arrangement.

  What reason should I find to go? Last time, I asked someone to find a piece of top-grade jade and said it was for Chen Xiaoli to help with the opening ceremony, but in fact, it was given to her. Until now, she hasn't returned it, so this time I must prepare some good gifts.

  "No way!" Liu Xiaomin exclaimed as soon as she heard it.

  "Huh?"

  Everyone turned their faces to look at Liu Xiaomin, this girl is a bit abnormal tonight!

  Liu Xiaomin also realized her mistake and hastily said, "Dàshèng just told me on the phone that there are distinguished guests at Jiějiě Fāng, and they've been closed recently, it's not convenient to receive outsiders!"

  "Welcome?"

  Liu Rongfa was taken aback by the words, and he thought that someone who could be called a noble guest by the Chen siblings must be an important figure. Although he had the idea of going to visit, since all the doors were closed in the Sister's Alley, it was likely that Chen Xiaoli did not want anyone to disturb her. If he rashly went over, he might provoke trouble.
