Honey, you didn't really drugged me, did you?-Chapter 504 - 167 Chen Jie: What, Huang Wan’er is pregnant? (Please subscribe)_3

Du Juan’s first sentence caught Old Li completely off guard, nearly choking him as he started coughing desperately.

The two guards turned around and said, “What’s up, Old Li?”

Old Li, whose face was turning red, said, “Cough cough, it’s nothing, just choked a little.”

“Oh, make it quick. We’re waiting for you to eat watermelon.”

“Alright, alright!”

Old Li loudly responded, then hurriedly started putting grapes into the fruit plate and asked, “Grandpa Chen’s?”

Du Juan nodded, “Mm.”

“…”

Old Li didn’t know what to say, he could only think to himself how amazing Grandpa Chen was.

Mrs. Huang had been married to Nan Batian for three years without getting pregnant, but she had been with Grandpa Chen for only a short while and was already expecting. You tell me, is Grandpa Chen too amazing, or is Nan Batian just too much of a loser?

Du Juan, now anxious, said, “What’s most important now isn’t that the lady is pregnant, but that she had morning sickness today and Nan Batian saw it. Nan Batian has already sent for Liu Yishou. If Liu Yishou comes and confirms a joyous pulse, then it’s over for the lady!”

Boom!

Hearing this, Old Li’s face turned incredibly grim.

Discovered? Liu Yishou! Damn, what do we do, Old Li thought as he looked to Du Juan for confirmation. She said, “Mhm, only Grandpa Chen can save the lady now. You must notify him quickly, or it will be too late!”

Old Li took a deep breath and said, “Mhm, got it. You go ahead, I’ll figure out the rest.”

After saying this, he added, “Miss Du Juan, take care of these grapes and carry them well for the lady. In the future, if the lady wants anything, just let me know, I’ll definitely get it for her.”

Du Juan looked at Old Li, then responded with a smile, “Then I’ll have to trouble Li Cai with that.”

After speaking, Du Juan immediately left with the grapes. The two guards at the door took a big bite of watermelon, threw away the rinds, got up, and followed Du Juan out.

Old Li walked up to the table and found that only the least sweet part of the big watermelon was left.

Seeing this, Old Li breathed a sigh of relief. Eating so much watermelon meant that their attention had all been on the fruit earlier, so the conversation he had just had with Du Juan likely hadn’t been overheard.

But this matter was really tricky. The lady was actually carrying Grandpa Chen’s child, and Nan Batian had noticed, even inviting Liu Yishou to come and check her pulse.

There was no time to delay, the intelligence must be sent out immediately, or there would be serious trouble.

…

White Tiger Hall.

Chen Jie had returned from Elder Liu and found a table full of sumptuous dishes already prepared in the Inner Hall. Those seated today were the people Chen Jie trusted most.

Taking the head of the table was his own master, Bai Wenjing, Mr. Bai.

Mr. Bai had rested for a while and felt much better; he was barely able to support this family banquet.

To his immediate left was Chen Jie and to his right was the housekeeper, Su Yunjin.

Sitting behind them were Zhou Chu, Xiao Hu, Si Xi, and Chen Zhu.

Chen Zhu had been exceptionally promoted today. As for Chen Gou, who was still recuperating, their contributions were enough to ensure they would not have to worry about food and clothing in the coming days.

Moreover, their status within White Tiger Hall would rise.

This was what they deserved. They had shown Chen Jie absolute loyalty, having passed the test of life and death, they had earned Chen Jie’s respect.

Yin Hongmei was serving at today’s banquet. For such occasions, Cuiju was not qualified because the topics discussed at the table could involve secrets. The maid Cuiju was sensible, but too fond of vanity, something Chen Jie couldn’t quite trust.

Using her as an ordinary servant was fine, but at the core gatherings, she could only pass dishes from the secondary door.

Ruirui had been under siege by four kids all day and was exhausted. He had gone to bed early.

Now only these individuals were left to eat some late-night snacks and joke around.

During the banquet, Chen Jie raised a glass in honor of Bai Wenjing and the others. Bai Wenjing sighed and said, “Master is old and can only do this much for you.”

As they spoke, they also discussed the twenty-eight brothers who had died this time.

Chen Jie suggested that their bodies be buried after fourteen days, and their memorial tablets should be placed collectively in the Heroic Spirit Hall for worship by White Tiger Hall.

The Heroic Spirit Hall, set up by Chen Jie, was specifically for the heroes of White Tiger Hall. Currently, the hall housed memorial tablets for Peng Shizhong and the group murdered by Feng Xuan in the past, as well as the twenty-eight who died today.

For those who entered the Heroic Spirit Hall, their parents would receive a monthly supply of one hundred pounds of grain, twenty pounds of meat, and various seasonal fruits and vegetables as standard provision.

If their widows remained chaste, they would receive rewards from White Tiger Hall and a plaque of fidelity.

This was, in fact, an oppression of women. It was cruel not to allow a widow to remarry after her husband’s death. However, sometimes it was necessary to be cruel.

Because women are not the main force of White Tiger Hall, but the male disciples are.

Thus, Chen Jie had to protect the interests of the male disciples and ensure they had no worries for the future.
