Reborn to Become A Queen: The Real Heiress's Comeback
Chapter 561: Japan

Chapter 561: Chapter 561: Japan

A few rich kids heard Chen You’s words and also lifted the carriage curtain to join the commotion.

"Hey, Second Brother, you haven’t even seen what this girl looks like yet. What if she’s a hideous monster!"

"Second Brother, you shouldn’t speak carelessly. What if the girl clings to you?"

"Second Brother, we all hope this girl is a stunning beauty. We can drink to your happiness again. But if it’s just smoke and mirrors, and she’s ugly beyond words, she’ll be unpresentable!"

Chen You cursed inside the carriage, "You lot, shut your crow mouths! Can’t you hope for something good for me?"

Little Anzi saw they still wouldn’t let them pass and continued to speak insults. He felt annoyed and walked to the side of the carriage curtain, listening to Zhan Lan say, "Follow them."

At first, Little Anzi was surprised, but then he understood Zhan Lan’s intention. He looked at the several carriages opposite, "Alright, our master said we’ll take a trip with you, to see how big the Chen Family’s estate really is!"

Chen You’s lips curled upwards, of course, women are always vain. Who doesn’t want to marry into a wealthy and powerful family?

Even relying on the wealth left by their ancestors, many women flock to the Chen Family. Turns out the woman in the carriage is also one who’s greedy for glory. Suddenly, Chen You lost interest.

Turns out this woman is nothing special!

Still, he wanted to see the woman’s appearance; if she were beautiful, though his main wife’s family was substantial, she couldn’t be the primary wife, but might as well be his concubine.

"Let’s go!" Chen You was filled with complacency.

"Yes, master." The Chen Family’s coachman turned the horse and headed forward, Zhan Lan’s carriage followed behind.

The Hidden Guards didn’t understand why the Empress wanted to do this, but their mission was to ensure the Empress’s safety. There must be a purpose for her actions, so they protected Zhan Lan’s carriage as it moved towards the Chen Family’s direction.

...

The carriage stopped in front of the Chen Residence after a stick of incense time. Zhan Lan lifted a corner of the palanquin curtain and saw an exceedingly lavish red gate with a plaque edged in gold, carved with the two red words—Chen Residence.

The Chen Family’s several carriages stopped on either side of the gate, and Zhan Lan’s carriage stopped at the main entrance of the Chen Family.

Chen You got off the carriage, one person advised, "Second Brother, we just received a beating, you shouldn’t get off, careful not to be seen."

Chen You understood the meaning behind the words; they had just left the Capital Government, they needed to keep up appearances.

However, he didn’t care. Chen You coldly smiled and looked around, "We’re at my doorstep. What? Let’s see who dares to gossip!"

The rest knew this Second Young Master’s temperament and no longer dissuaded him.

Chen You nodded toward Zhan Lan’s carriage, "Miss, how do you find our Chen Residence? If you want to marry into my family, it depends on your beauty!"

As his words fell, the protectors of the Chen Family heavily surrounded Zhan Lan’s carriage.

After a while, Zhan Lan donned a white gauze hat and had Little Anzi roll up the curtain.

Chen You was captivated by her silhouette under the gauze of the hat, staring at Zhan Lan’s graceful figure, unable to look away.

The remaining rich kids in the Chen Family lifted their curtains and were also dumbstruck.

"Oh Heaven, this woman hasn’t even shown her face, yet she captivates my soul. Second Brother’s fortune is truly enviable!"

"No wonder they say dying under a blossom is a romantic death. I think I smelled her fragrance. She must be a beauty who can bring nations to ruin."

"Snap out of it! She’s about to be our Second Brother’s woman, stop daydreaming in broad daylight!"

Chen You swallowed hard; no wonder this woman dared to come to the Chen Residence, she was indeed a stunning beauty.

He stared fixedly at Zhan Lan as Little Anzi coughed, "Impertinent! Do not be disrespectful to our master!"

Chen You snapped out of it, blinking his eyes, with a smile at his lips, his tone softened.

"Miss, can I see you as you truly are?"

Zhan Lan’s voice was cold, "You’re not qualified. Let your Family Head come out and see me."

Chen You, still immersed in fantasy, couldn’t extricate himself until hearing Zhan Lan’s words, which infuriated him. This woman dared embarrass him in front of so many servants.

Chen You cursed, "Ingrate! Bring her into the residence for me!"

The Protectors of the Chen Family surrounded Zhan Lan’s carriage.

Zhan Lan’s five Hidden Guards drew their swords from their sides, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.

...

Inside the Chen Residence.

The Chen Family Master, Chen Shijing, sat at the head position playing chess with the eldest son, Chen Jun.

The eldest son smiled and said, "Father, you let me win, my black pieces won!"

Chen Shijing smiled at the board, "Jun’er certainly lived up to my expectations!"

He put down the white piece in his hand and asked, "Seeing you in such good spirits today, is there good news?"

Chen Jun smiled with pride, "Nothing gets past father. This time, I’ve secured trading rights on the sea. We can do silk business with Japan!"

"Japan? Why are you dealing with them again!" Chen Shijing said sternly.

Chen Jun reassured Chen Shijing, "Father, listen to me, it’s like this..."

He explained the benefits between them in a meager voice.

Chen Shijing nodded, "Alright, although our Chen Family looks splendid on the surface, it’s actually declining. We can’t live on just our ancestors’ meager inheritance; ever since ancient times, the way of merchants involves risk, Jun’er, be extra careful in everything."

"Yes, Father, rest assured, your son is measured in action." Chen Jun glanced resolutely.

The father and son were chatting indoors when suddenly Housekeeper Liu bowed and entered, "Reporting to the master and young master, the Second Young Master brought back a woman. That woman is extremely arrogant and even injured Second Young Master and a group of protectors!"

Chen Shijing’s eyes turned dark, "Who is so arrogant, daring to come and cause trouble at the gate of our Chen Residence?"

"Replying to master, according to Old Li at the gate, it’s a woman, and she has a housekeeper and five protectors with her." Housekeeper Liu swallowed, he had asked Old Li repeatedly, but the gatekeeper said he saw with his own eyes just a woman and a housekeeper along with five protectors.

"Get Old Li in here!" Chen Jun said irritably.

A skinny old man, sweaty from head to foot, entered from outside, immediately kneeling on the ground, "Reporting to the Family Head, this old servant indeed saw the woman’s five protectors defeat Second Young Master and more than twenty protectors all at once."

He stammered, "Moreover, that woman also said..."

Chen Shijing’s face turned grim. It had been many years since someone dared to cause trouble at their gate. Today, it turned out to be a woman!

In a cold voice, he asked, "What did she say!"

Gatekeeper Old Zhang closed his eyes and made up his mind, speaking honestly, "She, she, she, that woman even said to have you roll out to see her!"
