Chapter 157: Huan Chen's Resolve
Xiao Bi and Huan Yu knew the inside story and were amazed by Huan Chen's determination.
Their grandfather's words had an effect, and they saw it with their own eyes.
But they didn't expect that the effect would be so great and the results would come out so quickly.
Xiao Bi pursed her lips and said with a smile: "I heard what you said doesn't sound like you care about the eldest brother, but you are a little gloating about his misfortune?"
Hua Xiaohan rolled his eyes at her: "It's good that you know some things in your heart, but wouldn't it be boring to say them out loud?"
Huan Ji urged: "Since you want to go, hurry up. You won't be able to watch the fun later."
Huan Yu was quite helpless by them.
"This kind of thing can't be explained clearly for a while. Today, there are several dishes cooked by Bei's mother herself. We must not let down her kindness."
While talking, he already gave Xiao Bi a chopstick of stewed trotters that were very soft and glutinous.
Huan Ji chuckled and said, "Brother is still the cunningest. No matter how exciting the show is, we can't watch it on an empty stomach."
Several people picked up their chopsticks again and continued to enjoy the food.

Chasing his eldest son to Rongxi Hall, Master Huan was so regretful that his intestines turned green.
Recently, the eldest son has really been in trouble. His arm bitten by Huan Xi has just healed, and it happened again!
These debt collectors don't check the time every time they make trouble, and they always get stuck on their meal.
At noon, his colleagues invited him to dinner, but he just listened to the young ladies singing songs and was not full at all.
Who would have thought that today's incident of being hungry and listening to my mother's scolding would happen again.
If he had known earlier, he should have grabbed a few snacks to make up for it...
Yao's heart was not as big as Huan Song's.
The eldest son has always been arrogant. If nothing great had happened, how could he have asked to be transferred to Longxi County?
Seeing Huan Chen kneeling in front of her mother-in-law with a determined look on her face, Mrs. Yao was extremely anxious.
She had seen General Sima of Longxi County. Although he was considered a tiger general, how could he be compared with the old Duke?
Besides, there are countless cronies around him waiting to be promoted. In terms of seniority, Brother Chen can't even be ranked among them.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that the old prince was too cruel. He just didn't want the eldest son to inherit the title, but he actually planned to ruin Brother Chen's future!
Just as she was thinking about how to use her mother-in-law to stir up trouble, a porcelain cup was smashed to pieces at her feet.
Yao was so frightened that she took a few steps back, and then heard the old lady Xu scold: "This is nonsense! Why did you go to work for Sima Wen as Nao Shizi's lieutenant?!"
Huan Chen frowned and said, "My grandson doesn't want to live under his grandfather's wings forever, so I ask my grandmother to make it happen."
If he hadn't had any trouble with Princess Yiyang, he would have wanted his grandfather to recommend him to go to Yanmen County, or even to the Northland under the jurisdiction of King Rong. In short, the farther away from his grandfather's sphere of influence, the better.
Since he couldn't go, he had no choice but to choose General Sima, the sternest and most unkind person under his grandfather's command.
He doesn't believe that he can't break into the world with his own abilities.
"Absurd!" the old lady scolded sternly: "Sima Wen is also your grandfather's subordinate. If you go to him, wouldn't you be under your grandfather's wing?!"
Huan Chen didn't want to explain more and kept kneeling straight.
"Boss! Look at the good son you raised!" The old lady stroked her chest, looking like she was almost dying of anger.
She is more than ten years younger than Duke Huan, and she has always been pampered. She has some minor problems, but they are not serious problems.
In the past, being bedridden was actually a means to achieve certain goals.
Huan Song had lived with her for more than thirty years, but he didn't know the true identity of his own mother.
But the old lady even called out "boss", so he didn't dare to continue fooling her.
Pretending to come forward and comfort the old lady for a few words, he scolded Huan Chen: "You brat, you...your grandmother has really loved you all these years in vain!"
Unlike Huan Mo and others, Huan Chen has been obedient and studious since he was a child, and he is a very worry-free child.
Huan Song and Yao Shi didn't even have many opportunities to say harsh words, let alone beating him.
Even Huan Song himself felt a little unaccustomed to being scolded like this today, and the harsh words changed his taste when he came to his mouth.
Little Xu, who was kneeling aside, was so angry that she gritted her teeth.
Her mother-in-law is silent, her father-in-law is useless, and even her grandmother's words don't matter. Who else can she turn to to make the decision?
That bitch of the Gan family has already given birth to the eldest son of a concubine, but she only has a daughter. If Huan Chen is allowed to go to Longxi County, when will she have a son?
Now that Princess Yiyang has lost her temper, how can she live her life in the mansion?
Her daughter's fleshy little butt was right in her hand. She wanted to pinch it but was reluctant to let go. Little Xu was so angry that her breathing became heavy.
Maybe it was the mother-daughter connection. Sister Ling felt her mother's anger, and she started to cry with her mouth closed.
Little Xu felt sad and started to cry.
Huan Chen felt sorry for his daughter, but he didn't want to waste all his efforts, so he was caught in a dilemma.
Yao was about to step forward to coax her granddaughter when Huan Yan and Qiao arrived.
The couple bowed, and Huan Yan winked at Mr. Qiao.
Mrs. Qiao understood the situation, walked to Xiao Xu and comforted her: "Don't be sad, Afu, be careful not to scare the child."
Mrs. Xu deliberately handed her daughter to Ms. Qiao, but unexpectedly, Sister Ling, who was crying sadly, did not want to leave her mother. She clutched her lapel with her little hands and cried even harder.
The old lady pressed her eyebrows and said, "Sister Fu is also messing around. Why is the child meddling in adults' affairs?"
Little Xu choked up and said: "Grandma, you have to make the decision for us mother and daughter... wu wu..."
The old lady said: "First take Sister Ling down and hand her over to the wet nurse."
"Yes." Little Xu stood up, hugged her daughter and ran out of Rongxi Hall.
Huan Yan glanced at everyone in the room and said in a deep voice: "Brother Chen, what are you doing?"
He already knew the whole story, but now that he was here, he had to ask about it.
Huan Chen still stiffened his neck and explained his plan again.
Huan Yan sighed softly: "You kid is too stubborn! Looking at the whole world, there are only a handful of famous generals who can compare with your grandfather.
You are his eldest grandson, and you have been taught by him since you were a child, what else could you be dissatisfied with?"
Huan Chen raised his head, his eyes extremely firm: "Second uncle, my nephew has already decided to leave. Besides, my grandfather has agreed, so you don't need to bother to persuade me."
Huan Yan raised his eyebrows.
He didn't expect that his eldest nephew would be so decisive this time.
When he spoke to his son, his son ignored him at all, but when his second brother spoke, he was willing to answer in a good voice, which made Huan Song's anger grow higher.
He kicked him: "I don't have an unfilial son like you!"
The three-legged cat's kung fu was nothing in Huan Chen's eyes. He didn't dodge at all and received the kick forcefully.
But Yao was startled and rushed to his son: "Brother Chen, do you feel any pain?"
At the same time, he gave Huan Song a hard look.
