Chapter 518 - 204: The Mysterious Princess! Chen Mo: Am I a concubine again?!
Chen Mansion Front Hall.
Chen Mo and Lin Jingzhu were already neatly dressed, standing honestly in the front of the hall. He Yuzhi was sitting with her arms crossed on the Grandmaster’s chair, gloomily staring at the two.
"Just now you insisted you were just ordinary friends, and then turned around and hugged each other with no clothes on?!"
"This rebel son!"
He Yuzhi took a deep breath, suppressing her anger, and said in a stern voice, "In broad daylight, what kind of decency is this behavior?!"
Lin Jingzhu’s face was flushed, almost burying her head into her chest.
"Ahem."
Lady Jin Yun, who was sitting nearby, cleared her throat and spoke up, "Sister, don’t be hasty, these two children aren’t the type to act recklessly. I think there’s definitely a reason for this... Young Master Chen, why don’t you explain what happened?"
Chen Mo said, "I was merely helping Lin Catcher purge the Chill Toxin. Because the skirt was inconvenient, that’s why..."
He Yuzhi frowned and said, "Then why did Zhixia scream just now? Was the Chill Toxin supposed to be sucked out through the mouth?"
"This..."
Chen Mo looked slightly embarrassed, unsure of how to explain.
Lin Jingzhu was even more mortified, like a shrimp turning red from being boiled.
"Fine, don’t want to talk, huh? Zhixia, you tell!" He Yuzhi slammed the table, coldly saying, "Rest assured, today I’ll definitely stand up for you!"
Even though the Lin Family had a significant background, the Chen Family wasn’t afraid of trouble either!
If she couldn’t even protect her own daughter-in-law, then she might as well quit being a Martial Arts Grandmaster!
Shen Zhixia bit her lip lightly, remained silent for a moment, then said softly, "Brother Chen Mo was right; he was indeed treating Miss Lin... I must have misunderstood earlier; there wasn’t any inappropriate behavior between them..."
"Zhixia, you..."
He Yuzhi frowned even tighter.
At this stage, this girl was still speaking for Chen Mo?
At this moment, Lin Jingzhu raised her head and said, "Lady Chen, please calm down. I do have feelings for Mr. Chen, but I have no intention of taking over. Miss Shen is the rightful fiancée. I... I don’t seek any title, just being able to stay by Mr. Chen’s side is enough for me..."
As she spoke, her slender hands clutched her hem, her voice trembling.
For an unmarried girl, declaring her feelings publicly required enormous courage, especially in front of Lady Chen...
A few brief words seemed to have exhausted all her strength.
"..."
Seeing the two young ladies in front of her, He Yuzhi was momentarily speechless.
One was the direct disciple of Martial Saint Mountain, ranked sixth on the Cloud Top Ranking, while the other was a Royal and Noble Relative and the Six Gates’ top Divine Catcher... both are exceptional daughters.
And they were willing to go so far for Chen Mo?
"What kind of charm did this boy use on them to make them so dedicated, regardless of their own status and reputation..."
But He Yuzhi could also see that both Shen Zhixia and Lin Jingzhu still retained their virginity, so her anger subsided a bit.
It seemed this rebel son still had some principles...
Lady Jin Yun’s eyes flashed with a hint of a smile, yet her expression remained serious. Her bright eyes looked at Chen Mo, asking, "Although there is a reason, Zhu’er is still an unmarried girl, and if this matter gets out, it might harm her reputation... Young Master Chen, what do you intend to do about this?"
Lin Jingzhu secretly glanced at Chen Mo, her heart almost jumping out of her chest.
Although she had already shared a little kiss with Chen Mo, they hadn’t confirmed their intentions... what if Chen Mo didn’t want her anymore?
Faced with Lady Jin Yun’s questioning, Chen Mo waved his hand, and a golden contract paper appeared in the air, filled with small, densely packed characters.
"Zhixia and I have already sworn an oath: ’The cattail cords are like silk, the rocks will not move. If we break the oath, we willingly accept the wrath of thunder. I will not fail her in this life.’
"Brother..."
Shen Zhixia’s eyes were filled with tender affection.
Lady Jin Yun frowned, Lin Jingzhu’s rosy face turned pale, and her eyes became dim.
"I understand, I’ll just..."
"However..."
She hadn’t finished speaking when Chen Mo continued, "Lin Catcher and I have experienced life and death together. She went to the Southern Border for me, almost losing her life... how could I overlook such deep affection?"
Lin Jingzhu was slightly stunned, then felt an indescribable joy and shame.
So, Mr. Chen had always understood her intentions!
He Yuzhi was almost confused by him, asking, "So what do you mean exactly?"
Chen Mo took Shen Zhixia’s hand with his left, and Lin Jingzhu’s with his right, holding their soft hands firmly, and said earnestly, "Only children make choices; I want them both!"
"..."
The air fell into dead silence.
He Yuzhi’s brow twitched.
This rebel son really had thick skin, able to say such shameless words!
But seeing the shy expressions of the two young ladies, it was evident they fell for it deeply...
Might as well admit defeat, there’s no saving them now...
Lady Jin Yun, however, was quite satisfied with this answer.
Originally, she did not expect to snatch anyone away from Shen Zhixia. The stronger a man is, the more he is surrounded by women; it was impossible for Lin Jingzhu to "monopolize" Chen Mo.
As long as it was confirmed Chen Mo had a place for Zhu’er in his heart, that was enough.
"Sister, what do you think about this?" Lady Jin Yun asked.
With everything said to this point, He Yuzhi had no other choice and waved her hand, "Forget it, I’m too lazy to deal with it, let them be... but I have one condition, before Zhixia officially marries into the family, the Chen Family won’t give anyone else a title."
These words were very straightforward.
Shen Zhixia is the daughter-in-law recognized by the Chen Family, and anyone wanting to be a concubine needs to wait in line!
