Chapter 531 - 531 522 Tire Slippage

?Chapter 531: Chapter 522: Tire Slippage Chapter 531: Chapter 522: Tire Slippage At the end of the twelfth lunar month, Chen Afu had finally tidied up the property at the Marquis’ Mansion.

Chu Ling’an and Mrs. Shen had also gotten wind of the old man’s plans, and they were both heartbroken and relieved. The sorrow was because they didn’t want to separate households now. Living together with the Marquis’ Mansion, where all the expenses were paid by the main house, they were considered the young masters and mistresses of the mansion. The relief came from the fact that, thankfully, they passed the main house to Chu Ling’an as per the older man’s wishes. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have taken long for their wealth and influence to decline.

Chu Ling’an knew his father’s terribly stingy nature, so he had a chat with the old Marquis, ensuring that the properties and assets the old man had given him were kept a secret from his father. Of the fifty thousand silver yuan allotted to them when they separated households, six thousand was reserved for their half-sisters’ dowries and ten thousand for Chu Lingqi. The majority of the leftover silver was used to buy houses and farmland. The old Marquis agreed and had already sent people to scout out properties in secret.

While The Chus were splitting up in secrecy, negotiations for supporters of the Second Prince were advancing publicly at court. He Quan, Chen Yuhui’s father-in-law, was arrested and sent to Dali Temple, and the He family was put under house arrest and forbidden to leave The Hes.

Originally, they thought that the crackdown on the Second Prince’s supporters wouldn’t occur so quickly, and Chen Shiying hadn’t had time to discuss Chen Yuhui’s divorce with He Quan.

Upon hearing of He Quan’s arrest, Chen Shiying was terrified. He didn’t care about the fate of He Quan, he was worried that if He Quan was in a position of influence, he might spare Chen Yuhui due to their children. He Linsheng, on the other hand, was an aimless man with no sense of reason, who loathed Chen Yuhui.

Hurriedly, Chen Shiying requested leave to return to the Capital City. He tried to negotiate with The Hes. Mrs. He and He Linsheng made it clear to him that a woman must follow her husband, and could not abandon him the moment he met with misfortune.
