Chapter 563: A bat covered in chicken feathers, what kind of bird do you think you are!

Chapter 563: Chapter 563: A bat covered in chicken feathers, what kind of bird do you think you are!

Chen Jun heard the woman in the carriage calling Prefect Zhao by name, and he knew that her identity was at least a Commandery Princess.

His pupils suddenly contracted as he thought of another possibility. This woman had an extraordinary demeanor, could it be that she is...

But then he immediately dismissed the idea as impossible.

"Who exactly are you?" Chen Shijing could no longer hold back, he was too eager to know who this arrogant woman was.

Even if she were a Commandery Princess, she couldn’t just humiliate the Chen Family at will!

Zhan Lan did not answer his question but instead whispered something to Little Anzi.

Receiving the order, Little Anzi quietly left.

Someone rode by the Chen Residence on horseback. He thought the woman’s voice in the carriage sounded familiar, so he dismounted and walked forward.

He tilted his head to see Zhan Lan and, surprised, covered his mouth, "Ah, what are you doing here?"

Zhan Lan’s lips twitched. Even with her veil, Huang Gun could recognize her. His eyes might be small, but they were sharp, nothing could escape him.

Zhan Lan was about to deal with the Chen Family, but the moment Huang Gun arrived, her plan fell apart.

Since her rebirth, she could control many people, but Huang Gun was the only one hard to control.

Huang Gun didn’t wait for her to speak, his brows furrowed, and he squinted his small eyes at the Chen family father and son.

"Who just uttered that nonsense!"

Chen Shijing was furious. This man who looked impertinent just spoke to the woman in the carriage; it seemed like they knew each other.

He immediately redirected his anger towards Huang Gun, "The Family Head said it, so what!"

Chen Jun grabbed his father’s arm and said in a deep voice, "Father, calm down."

Huang Gun rolled up his sleeves. Chen Jun thought he was going to hit someone and immediately protected Chen Shijing behind him.

Who knew that Huang Gun would point at Chen Shijing’s nose and curse, "Are you grown on iron, is your head tougher than others’, you must have an ass on your face, your mouth stinks! How dare you speak to her like that, do you know who she is?"

Chen Shijing was infuriated by Huang Gun’s words. He wanted to curse back, but Chen Jun stopped him.

Chen Jun wanted to know who was under the veil!

Huang Gun continued to curse at the flushed Chen Family Master, "This Vice Minister talks to the Empress in a humble voice, but you’re nothing more than a bat stuck with chicken feathers, what bird are you? I see you’re naturally a cucumber in need of a smack, like an old monk’s wooden fish born to be beaten!"

Zhan Lan stifled her laughter; with Huang Gun’s arrival, the atmosphere changed completely.

Chen Jun’s expression changed drastically upon hearing Huang Gun’s words. This person was full of clever insults, he must be the Minister of Public Works, Huang Gun.

Then the woman beside him was indeed the Empress of Dayu - Zhan Lan!

His knees went soft, and he knelt down. Chen Shijing was also startled by the word "Empress," but how could the Empress dress so plainly and come to their doorstep?

"Father, kneel, kneel down!" Chen Jun’s voice trembled.

Chen You was already kneeling on the ground. When he heard that the veiled woman was the Empress, he was so shocked that he collapsed.

If it weren’t for him looking for trouble, the Empress wouldn’t have come to his house, he practically brought disaster upon himself!

"Empress, spare me, it was a moment of foolishness, I deserve to die!"

Chen You slapped his face hard, realizing what kind of formidable figure he had brought into his house.

Several profligate sons of the Chen Family, fearing being implicated by Chen You, desperately pleaded for themselves.

"Empress, spare us, it was Chen You who wanted to divorce his wife and marry you, it had nothing to do with us!"

"Empress, please see clearly, Chen You committed treason and offended you, we were all coerced by him!"

They all shifted the blame onto Chen You, after all, this matter really had nothing to do with them. As long as they didn’t offend the Empress, offending the Chen father and son was nothing!

If they were implicated by Chen You, their small families would be completely ruined.

Chen You glared viciously at these brothers who had shared drinks and debauchery with him; in times of real trouble, they were hitting him when he was down, none could be relied on!

Now he could only rely on his elder brother and father.

"Chen You!" Suddenly a voice came from the Chen residence gate, and a woman walked over with lotus steps, her eyes filled with tears as she knelt before Zhan Lan.

"Empress, this humble woman Lin Yan has had enough of Chen You. He has married eighteen concubines, and whenever he sees a pretty girl, he wants to snatch her into the house. This humble woman would rather be widowed than stay with him, please take him away and dispose of him as you see fit!"

Zhan Lan looked at Lin Yan, in her past life, Chen Shijing took all his wealth and poisoned all the women in the house, carrying only Chen You to Japan to join Chen Jun.

All the women, including Lin Yan, died in the Chen Residence.

Lin Yan was a bit nervous because her request was a bit impolite. Her husband had offended the Empress; would the Empress allow her to return to her family home?

Her heart was pounding, then suddenly, she heard Zhan Lan’s voice, "Rise, I permit you to divorce Chen You."

Lin Yan’s pupils widened, her breath quickened, and she gratefully kowtowed to Zhan Lan, "Thank you, Empress, I’m immensely grateful!"

Zhan Lan deeply knew: In Dayu, women’s status was inferior to men’s, men were the heavens, and women mostly drifted with their husband’s fate.

Obeying the father at home, obeying the husband after marriage, if Lin Yan could strive for her fate, she would help one if she could!

Chen You looked maliciously at his wife Lin Yan; this woman was leaving him now that he was in trouble, truly a fickle thing!

Chen Shijing finally realized what his son had done; he must have been provoking girls as usual, but this girl was not an ordinary person, she was the most noble woman in Dayu.

Once she spoke, the whole Chen Family would be done for.

Chen Shijing finally calmed down, understanding the stakes involved.

The twenty-plus Protectors who had been beaten down by the Hidden Guards also understood why they couldn’t beat those five people.

They had been lying on the ground groaning, but after learning of Zhan Lan’s identity, they didn’t even dare to breathe heavily.

Chen Jun now understood who the Chen Family had offended. His black pupils shifted, and he immediately said, "Empress, it was my younger brother who made the mistake, and our Chen Family is willing to hand over Chen You, to be dealt with as you see fit!"

Zhan Lan’s gaze turned cold, seeing that Chen Jun was truly ruthless, ready to sever ties with Chen You to save the Chen Family.

"Older brother, how could you treat me like this!" Chen You couldn’t believe his elder brother wanted to sever relations with him.

"Father, save me!" Chen You, his nose running, desperately looked at his father Chen Shijing for help.
