Cultivation Simulator: Starting From The Empress' Palace-Chapter 321 - 319. Does your younger brother have a marriage match?

"Oh, I heard that Chen Hong actually has a younger brother, and I was a bit curious to meet him."

Zhao Fujin casually made up an excuse.

He also knew about Chen Mo's true identity.

So, to suddenly have a younger brother appear felt a bit amusing.

The only thing that puzzled her was that he himself was Chen Mo, so why disguise as himself?

Xiao Yunxi didn't think much of it. Both the mother and daughter harbored their own thoughts. Then, a thought struck Xiao Yunxi, and she said, "Hearing you say this, Fujin, I am also quite curious now. I want to see what differences exist between the twins."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Fujin was delighted, but immediately worried again. Chen Mo was the same as Chen Hong, and Chen Hong was Chen Mo—they were the same person. If Mother Empress went to see him, wouldn't it be exposed?

Zhao Fujin hurriedly said, "Mother Empress, better not. It's so chaotic now; it wouldn't be good if any danger arose."

However, Xiao Yunxi was resolute in her decision. Although she also worried about this point, she had a way to cover for Chen Mo at that time. She then said, "Just bring more guards with us."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Fujin had no choice but to nod, thinking to herself that she would distract Mother Empress away for her senior brother.

...

For Lianyi, she was fortunate.

Because not only did Chen Mo buy her first night, he also redeemed her, allowing her to stay at the mansion. Although he didn't promise her any status, she, having come from a brothel, didn't crave status. She was content to have a stable place to stay.

Thus, in the future, she only needed to serve Chen Mo wholeheartedly.

Instead of returning to Qinyin Pavilion to serve countless others.

Chen Mo was young and handsome and had a good brother, so she didn't have to worry about being bullied by others.

Moreover, he wasn't like the perverted Hu Xian. Although his favor was overwhelming for Lianyi, causing her to faint twice, it also let her experience what heaven felt like.

She wasn't a weak woman; she was an Eighth Grade Martial Artist, with recovery power beyond that of ordinary people.

She was only slightly disappointed that he didn't stay here tonight, as he left during the latter half of the night.

...

The East lit up with the first light of dawn.

When Hu Sheng, Xiao Yunqi, and others visited, they were told that Chen Mo, fearing punishment, had slipped out of Bianliang overnight and had not returned since.

Xiao Yunqi and Hu Sheng were stunned.

Chen Mo cupped his hands toward Hu Sheng, apologetically saying, "My younger brother clashed with your nephew last night, which made me extremely angry. To avoid my punishment, he slipped out of Bianliang overnight.

But rest assured, Prime Minister, as soon as I hear from my younger brother, I will immediately bring him to your mansion to apologize."

Upon hearing this, Hu Sheng quickly waved his hand, smiling, "General Chen, no need to be so polite. I understand the events of last night; it was all Xian'er's recklessness and arrogance that offended your brother. Being beaten was his own fault, and it has nothing to do with your brother. I have already punished him well last night..."

"Many thanks to the Prime Minister for your magnanimity. I, on behalf of my younger brother, thank the Prime Minister..." Chen Mo smoothly delivered polite words.

Xiao Yunqi raised an eyebrow, asking, "Chen Hong, what's the situation with your brother? I've never heard you mention him before."

"Replying to Lord Anyang, my younger brother is rebellious by nature and comes from the countryside, a rough person. I was afraid he would offend Lord Anyang's eyes."

"Not at all," Xiao Yunqi replied, "Since your brother is not at the mansion, the old man will come again another day."

"Lord Anyang, please stay a while before you leave." Chen Mo feigned an attempt to retain him.

"No need."

"I bid farewell to Lord Anyang."

"..."

After Xiao Yunqi left, Hu Sheng also didn't linger, simply saying it was his nephew's fault, and not to let Chen Mo's brother take it to heart before leaving.

Upon returning to the mansion.

A black shadow appeared in front of Hu Sheng.

"Reporting to the lord, last night, several people were seen leaving through the back gate of Chen Mansion, heading all the way to the South Gate, and then leaving Bianliang. Among them, there was one who looked exactly like Chen Hong," the black shadow said.

Upon hearing this, Hu Sheng raised his eyebrows and then asked, "Did he come back in the meantime?"

"I had people watching at all four gates the entire night, and he didn't appear," the black shadow replied.

Hu Sheng was a bit surprised: "Could it really be Chen Hong's brother?"

...

Not long after Xiao Yunqi, Hu Sheng, and others had left,

Chen Mo had just breathed a sigh of relief when the sound of a sedan chair arriving from outside the mansion was heard. Chun Lan hurriedly came to report that the Empress Dowager and Empress Fujin had arrived.

Chen Mo went to greet them personally.

By the time he arrived, Xiao Yunxi was just getting off the sedan chair with the help of the Palace Maids.

She wore elegant attire, and as she bent down to step down from the sedan chair, she pressed her collar with her hand, her posture dignified yet graceful.

Zhao Fujin got down by herself, standing next to Xiao Yunxi, and took the initiative to address him as her junior brother.

Each had their own beauty.

But for Chen Mo, it was Xiao Yunxi's allure that was the greatest.

Chen Mo felt somewhat excited. If not for the presence of so many people around, he would have rushed up to lift Xiao Yunxi into his arms and carry her to the backyard.

Out of courtesy, Chen Mo bowed slightly: "This humble servant greets the Empress Dowager and Her Highness..."

"Rise."

Xiao Yunxi approached Chen Mo, suppressing her longing for him, and appraising him with her eyes. She slightly clamped her legs, knowing that the white robe Chen Mo wore was the one she had gifted him days earlier.

"Empress Dowager, Your Highness, please come inside," Chen Mo invited them into the mansion.

Since they had come specifically to see Chen Mo, they did not decline.

Chen Mo didn't lead them to the backyard but guided them to a garden built within the mansion.

In the garden, there was a pavilion.

Chen Mo invited the two to sit by the stone table in the pavilion.

He then hastily had Chun Lan prepare fine tea and snacks.

Chen Mo sat opposite Xiao Yunxi, while Zhao Fujin took the initiative to sit on Chen Mo's right. The subtle fragrance wafted, and looking at the beauties across and beside him, he felt a stir in his heart.

Xiao Qing'Er and the accompanying Cai'Er, among other Palace Maids, stood by awaiting orders.

Among them, Xiao Qing'Er gave Chen Mo a peculiar look.

The two ladies had left the palace under the pretense of coming to see the so-called younger brother of Chen Hong.

However, upon arrival, neither mentioned wanting to see him.

Nonetheless, it eventually had to be addressed.

Xiao Yunxi was the first to speak and subtly signaled to Chen Mo that she would cover for him.

"My younger brother is no longer in Bianliang..." Chen Mo repeated the words he had used to fend off Xiao Yunqi and the others to Xiao Yunxi and Zhao Fujin.

Xiao Yunxi, thinking Chen Mo had gotten the hint, immediately let out a breath of relief.

Zhao Fujin also set down her worries, then said, "What a pity, I had planned to see him; I've never seen twins since I was young."

"There will be opportunities," Chen Mo replied.

"Does your younger brother have a marriage proposal?" Xiao Yunxi suddenly asked knowingly.

Chen Mo was taken aback and glanced at Zhao Fujin, who quickly lowered her head in shyness, her heart racing—are you stupid? Why are you looking at me?

Chen Mo shook his head.

Xiao Yunxi said, "If not, let me introduce a marriage proposal for your younger brother?"

During a previous lake outing, Xiao Yunxi already had this idea and had even mentioned to Chen Mo about introducing him to the legitimate daughter of one of the seven major aristocratic families as a formal wife.
