Madam Chen was stunned. She didn't understand what Chen Nan meant by these words.
Then he asked, "What do you mean by this?"
Chen Nan snorted and said, "Aunt, you are really old, and your memory has declined sharply. Have you forgotten what you just said?"
Madam Chen really wants to maintain her own attitude to prove that she is an extremely cultivated person.
However, when she looked at Chen Nan's shameless look, she suddenly felt that dressing like herself was not a very comfortable thing.
When did you live your true self?
I married a man I didn't love, and in this Lineage, where was the intrigue and intrigue, how could I ever have the true happiness in my heart?
It seemed that she had never had it before. She felt as if she had never had a life. At any time, she had to give her life to Lineage.
Not only that, but you also have to pay for those unnecessary prides, and do everything you do to be worthy of your status.
She thought this way, and although she lamented her fate a little, the fate that was already determined could not be changed.
Madam Chen looked annoyed and said to Chen Nan, "You really have no meaning when you speak like this. Then tell me what you mean."
Chen Nan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll tell you, because your servant represents your dignity, just like I represent my mother's education to me.
Therefore, if that servant did something wrong, wouldn't it be a loss of your dignity? "
When Madam Chen heard this, she was so angry that she expressed her anger directly. "Are you killing my people with me, or is it better for me?"
Chen Nan said, "Isn't that true? Your servant insulted our mother and son when we met. I think this is definitely not what you meant.
This shows that your servant did such a thing behind your back. It shows that he disrespects you extremely.
This is one of his crimes.
His second crime is that under your training, he should be a very polite and well-educated person.
That is consistent with your noble status. But the actual situation is not like this. That servant of yours has no status as a servant at all. He comes to us as if he were his master. Moreover, it is extremely rude.
In such a situation, I really had to teach him a lesson, because this was simply too much. "
Madam Chen sneered and said, "Even so, your lesson went too far, right? You actually killed people directly?"
Chen Nan said, "I think such a guy is really useless. Moreover, he has made such a big mistake and seriously damaged your dignity. If he is still alive, it will not be a good thing for you.
We should pay more attention to people like this in their next life. Oh, by the way, aunt, you have to know that my skills are very effective.
After killing that guy, your slave immediately became polite.
Not only that, they also found a maid for us to use.
You have to know that my mother is a woman after all, so having two male servants for her is not the case after all, right?
You see, this servant became extremely wise after receiving that serious warning.
This is the benefit of our strict management of our subordinates, and we must do the same, otherwise, why would a master like us lose face because of the servant's inappropriate behavior?"
Chen Nan can be said to be eloquent, and all his eloquence is for the good of Madam Chen, which makes Madam Chen seem to not know what to say.
Finally, she said, "Okay, Chen Nan, I really belong to you. I really didn't expect you to be so good, but you also paid attention."
After leaving such a sentence, Madam Chen walked away alone. The servant wanted to follow, but Madam Chen glared back and said, "Do you also want to pay attention in the next life?"
The servant immediately said, "No, no, I'd better be careful in this life." The servant watched Madam Chen leave aggrievedly, then turned around and knelt down in front of Chen Nan and Li Yunfeng with a plop.
Chen Nan smiled and said, "Get up, I won't blame you for these things. You can't help yourself, you are just a slave.
I just want to remind you that if you are loyal to us and follow me for a long time, you may still have a way to survive. If you really leave me, you will definitely die.
If you are smart, you should understand what is going on here. Just like the lives of slaves like you, they are worthless, do you understand?"
The servant immediately kowtowed to Chen Nan, causing his forehead to bleed. Not only that, he also went over to lick Chen Nan's shoes.
This was stopped by Chen Nan. I don't know who left such a disgusting way of expressing loyalty, but it's really hard to accept.
Chen Nan kept this servant. From then on, no one among the servants dared to say "no" to Chen Nan's mother and son, because they knew that this was a cruel attack, and they would kill people at every turn, and killing people was not counted. There was nothing anyone could do to him. They had finally figured it out. No matter what they said, they were still Chen Family disciples. Who are they?
After understanding this, it is actually very important for these servants, because it will directly affect their future path.
The day passed like this, and Chen Nan and Li Yunfeng had a very relaxed and comfortable life.
In the afternoon, the Chen family will have a ceremony for Chen Nan to enter the Lineage family tree.
It is actually a very rare thing for an illegitimate child like this to be included in the family tree.
Moreover, this is not a glorious thing, so I chose to hold it in the afternoon.
After Chen Nan had a leisurely lunch, he followed Chen Shimei to the Chen family's ancestral hall.
It is located in the middle of the entire Chen Family Mansion, right on the central axis. It is directly opposite the gate. However, it is blocked by the building in front and cannot be seen through by anyone entering.
People from all aspects of the Chen family also came in force. This time, it was not just members of the main line of the Chen family, but also some people from the side branches.
Chen Nan looked around and realized that there were so many people in the entire Chen family.
He made a preliminary estimate that there were at least five or six hundred people in the Chen family.
There are less than forty or fifty people who belong to the main branch of the Chen family. In other words, the vast majority of the Chen family maintains the entire family business, and the only people with real authority are these forty or fifty people.
Will such a situation be of any benefit to him? Chen Nan was thinking about it, but Chen Shimei was already calling him.
Chen Nan immediately passed by, and Chen Shimei said to Chen Nan, "You will have to go to the front in a while, and there is an oath for you to read. This oath may not be worded very well for you. After all, you are just an illegitimate child, so I want to tell you in advance to avoid any unexpected changes for you."
Chen Nan smiled and said, "Father, don't worry, I won't do anything to you." He knew in his heart that Chen Shimei probably already knew that he had killed the servant.
He seemed to have a bad temper and was afraid that he might cause some trouble while reading the affidavit.
This is naturally a concern for oneself, and Chen Nan is also measured. Although he knows that this world has been completely chaotic, and many things will have direct and effective effects if treated with harsh means, but this does not mean that everything must be done according to such a policy.
He still knows how to adapt. The ceremony for entering a family tree is very complicated, including paying tribute, worshiping ancestors, and some magicians reciting incantations here. When opening the family tree, music is played, cannons are fired, etc.
It is impossible to complete a set of rituals without two or three hours.
At the end, someone finally started to announce that Chen Nan should go over and read out the oath to join the clan.
Chen Nan walked up under the gaze of everyone, neither humble nor overbearing.
It was a big stage, but you could not read the oath immediately. Instead, you had to kowtow to the ancestors of the Chen family and burn incense.
Chen Nan did it one by one under the guidance of the etiquette officer.
Then, he knelt directly in front of the ancestor's memorial tablet. Someone brought the oath book with both hands, and Chen Nan also took it with both hands.
Whatever is written in the oath, Chen Nan will read it.
Obviously, the people in the clan have figured out everything about Chen Nan.
He read:
I, Chen Nan, am the exogenous son of Chen Shimei. My father is Chen Shimei, my grandfather is Chen Jiannan, my great-grandfather...
It is omitted here. In order to continue the lineage of the genealogy, it must be read like this. Although it is verbose and cumbersome, it is still necessary.
Chen Nan While thinking about it, he thought, but he didn't expect that the Chen family turned out to be a big Lineage that has lasted for thousands of years.
If we extrapolate based on this, in the past Chen family, there may have been a Lineage from Nature Master.
If you continue to recite like this, you will have to recite for half an hour before you reach the last part of Chen Family Ancestor.
Then, comes the vow part of Chen Nan.
Its contents are as follows.
As an illegitimate son, Chen Nan can enter the Lineage family tree, but he cannot be the main lineage of the Chen family. In other words, he is different from children like Chen Jiadong and Chen Wan'er.
Rather, they were roughly in the same group as those four to five hundred people.
The meaning of this group's existence is the meaning of soil, or horse dung.
That is, you are a member of the Chen family, and you have to shine for the Chen family, but you still cannot enjoy the treatment you deserve.
You are included in the hardships and hard work, but you are not included in the glory.
Not only that, this oath also requires that when encountering a crisis involving life, disciples like Chen Nan have the obligation to die to protect the main disciples.
