Chapter 1013 Credentials
Madam Chen's face suddenly showed embarrassment. She stammered, "She, she didn't even acknowledge me. And the lady and master beside her don't look like they're easy to mess with. They even brought a lot of guards with them!"
After hearing what he said, Chen Ningyuan was a little scared.
He didn't expect that the girl actually had such a powerful support, but then he thought, wealth and honor must be sought in danger, this is his territory, as long as he takes the clan leader to snatch people away, they will have no choice but to let them go!
Thinking of this, he ordered: "Hurry up and bring out the wine. Let's go find the old patriarch and ask him to support us!"
The couple came to the outside of a big house and bowed and invited someone in to report.
Soon, the housekeeper called them in.
At this time, the head of the Chen family was admiring a green bird. While feeding it rice grains, he asked Chen Ningyuan, "What do you two want from me now? Let me tell you first, we have no money!"
Chen Ningyuan suddenly revealed an awkward smile, and said flatteringly, "Uncle, I'm not looking for you to borrow money this time. I want to ask for your support on something!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he handed over the wine jar in his hand: "This is the best pear blossom white wine, please accept it!"
Clan leader Chen didn't take it, but said impatiently: "What? Someone dares to bully you two? Everyone knows that you two are the most difficult to mess with in the entire Chen Clan Village!"
Chen Ningyuan bumped his wife's arm, and she stepped forward and said, "Uncle, naturally no one in the village will bully us, because they all know that you love us. Plus, we have a brother who is an official in Jingcheng, so they dare not do anything!"
Chief Chen looked at her curiously: "From what you said, it seems that they are people from outside the village!"
The woman nodded hurriedly. "Uncle, you may not know this, but I had a cousin who lived in Shengjing City. She was having a hard time and wanted me to bring her daughter home to raise her. But my family was short of food and drink at the time, so I refused. Who would have thought that the child would be so lucky and become the eldest daughter of a wealthy family!"
Patriarch Chen raised his eyebrows in confusion: "So what do you mean? Isn't it great for her to be the eldest daughter of a wealthy family?"
The woman spread her hands and said, "It's nice, but she doesn't recognize me. No matter what, I'm her cousin. She can't treat me as a stranger, right?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the maid she had sent out hurried in and said, "Madam, something bad has happened. That wealthy young lady is leaving after buying a necklace of top-quality red pearls from the Treasure Pavilion. You must find a way to stop her!"
The woman's expression suddenly changed. She said anxiously, "Uncle, did you hear that? She's so generous that she can even afford top-grade red pearls. How can she pretend not to know me, her own cousin?"
Patriarch Chen's shrewd eyes rolled around. He had heard of the red pearl necklace, which was the treasure of the Treasure Pavilion.
The little girl bought it without blinking an eye, obviously she came from a very prominent family.
Thinking of this, he said, "Stop beating around the bush and just tell me what your plan is."
The woman said subconsciously: "I asked her to marry my Feng'er. Now that she has come to Chenjiazhai, she must never leave again!"
Clan leader Chen couldn't help but frown. He was silent for a moment before he gave a solemn order, "Come here, write a marriage contract for Ning Yuan's wife. This way, we can keep the girl in our Chen Family Village!"
The woman's eyes lit up, and she quickly praised him, "My uncle is really thoughtful. If anything goes well, I will definitely give him a thank you of five hundred taels of silver!"
Patriarch Chen raised the corner of his lips in contempt. He was not thanking him for that little bit of money.
What he cares about is the girl's family background!
After the deed was written, Patriarch Chen led many family members and walked quickly outside.
At this moment, Zhan Miao was happily eating a skewer of grilled squid. She squinted her eyes and said, "This seafood is really delicious. Can we buy some more and grill them on the way?"
Zhan Qingning lovingly took the handkerchief and wiped her mouth: "It will go bad. Anyway, we will be able to rush to Jiaodong Island soon. By then, you can eat as much as you want!"
Zhan Miao opened his mouth exaggeratedly: "Twenty more skewers, I can still eat!"
After hearing her words, Lin Yiwan couldn't help but look at Zhan Yan: "That's it, our Miao'er is indeed a cat. She actually likes to eat these seafood?"
Zhan Yan said: "Let her eat as she pleases, she's still growing!"
Lin Yiwan silently lowered her head and glanced at Zhan Miao. Well, she was indeed growing, her belly was getting bigger. The first thing she would do when she arrived at Jiaodong Island was to have new clothes tailored for her.
She was just daydreaming when a group of people came from a distance.
Zhan Qingning was suddenly blocked and her expression suddenly became cold and ugly.
She quickly took Zhan Miao back to Zhan Yan and Lin Yiwan, and glared at Chen Ningyuan and his wife not far away with resentment on her face.
Clan leader Chen spoke first: "This is Miss Hu Niu, right? I heard from my niece-in-law that you came to Chen Village but didn't want to acknowledge her. Is there some misunderstanding?"
Zhan Qingning has been with Lin Yiwan for so long that she has developed a calm and composed temperament.
Even when facing an elderly man like Patriarch Chen, she was not at all panicked or frightened.
She just said indifferently: "There is no misunderstanding, I really don't know her!"
A look of surprise flashed across Patriarch Chen's face. She was indeed a little girl adopted by a wealthy family, and she had such a calm demeanor.
It is indeed not suitable for her to marry Chen Ningyuan's stupid son, but it is also possible to leave her in Chenjiazhai first and make arrangements in the future.
Thinking of this, his attitude became gentle.
He narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Don't be embarrassed, young lady. Ning Yuan's wife shouldn't recognize the wrong person. She said you have already admitted that your previous name was Hu Niu!"
At this time, the woman also screamed, "Don't try to deny it. Your mother signed the deed for me before. She betrothed you to my son. I have the proof!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a fat-headed, big-eared young man rushed towards Zhan Qingning: "Wife, this is my fairy wife, no one is allowed to snatch her from me!"
Zhan Xuan saw the opportunity quickly, rushed over and kicked him far away without hesitation.
"Bang!" Kid Chen fell heavily to the ground, howling in pain: "Mom, help me, I'm afraid my bones are broken!"
Everything happened so fast that no one could react.
It was not until the lady heard screams that she saw her son being kicked away.
She rushed over and asked in surprise, "Son, how are you?"
Chen Xiaozi burst into tears: "It hurts, mother, that bastard kicked me, you have to avenge me, I want to beat him to death, he actually didn't allow me to touch my wife!"
A vicious gleam flashed across the woman's face, and she glared at Zhan Xuan angrily: "Who are you? How dare you come to our Chen Family Village and act wildly, bullying us Chen Family because we have no one?"
