The strongest devouring system in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 394 Willingness

Yang Xiaoqian's words made Zhang Xingchen grit his teeth. Zhang Xingchen never expected that Yang Xiaoqian's marriage to Zhao Tianming a few years ago was actually correct, as Chen Er had inadvertently pointed out. Yang Xiaoqian was not doing it willingly.

It was because that old scoundrel Zhao Tianming had taken Yang Xiaoqian for himself.

Thinking about this, Zhang Xingchen felt like his eyes were about to spit fire. Yang Xiaoqian was the person he loved most in his life, and now that she had become Zhao Tianming's wife, Zhang Xingchen found it hard to imagine how she had managed to get through these past few years.

Zhang Xingchen clenched his fists involuntarily: "Yang Xiaoqian, don't worry. This time, Zhao Tianming is in our hands, and I will make sure he dies a quick and painless death."

Just then, Chen Er's voice came over: "My name is Chen Er. I've come here specifically to visit you, sister-in-law. I hope you don't mind that I'm eavesdropping on your conversation."

Zhang Xingchen and Yang Xiaoqian were taken aback and immediately turned their heads in confusion, only to see Chen Er. The moment Zhang Xingchen saw Chen Er, the muscles in his cheeks trembled uncontrollably. Zhang Xingchen felt that Chen Er was destined to be his nemesis.

Chen Er had just sent Zhang Xingchen here to win over Yang Xiaoqian, but who would have thought that this shameless Chen Er would actually eavesdrop on their conversation? Especially Zhang Xingchen, whose face was contorted in disgust, because Zhang Xingchen had said a lot of nice things to win over Yang Xiaoqian.

This made the man blush, and even the back of his ears turned red involuntarily.

"Chen Er, you bastard, what are you doing here? Aren't you afraid Zhao Tianming will run away? Get back here right now!" Zhang Xingchen was really angry and roared furiously.

Chen Er smiled wryly and helplessly: "Don't worry, you brought so many Imperial Guards, they're all watching over us. If Zhao Tianming runs away, we'll just arrest Zhao Beixing, wouldn't that be even better?"

Yang Xiaoqian was a little puzzled by Chen Er's appearance, but after Zhang Xingchen's explanation, she immediately understood.

So this is the recently made-up First Rank official. Yang Xiaoqian had also heard from others that a young man had now been promoted to First Rank and was openly provoking Wei Zhongxian and Zhao Beixing.

But Yang Xiaoqian never expected that Chen Er would be so young, yet he had already become a first-rank official. His future prospects were limitless.

"This humble woman is Yang Xiaoqian. I have just met you, sir. May I ask what your orders are? I will certainly do my best." Although Yang Xiaoqian knew that Chen Er was Zhang Xingchen's good brother, she still spoke politely out of consideration for his reputation.

Chen Er waved his hand dismissively: "Sister-in-law, you're too kind to me. We're all family. From now on, just call me by my name. I just heard you say that Zhao Tianming caused trouble for several wives. Could you take me to see them?" Chen Er said casually.

Chen Er's words left Yang Xiaoqian and Zhang Xingchen somewhat bewildered. Logically speaking, it would have been enough for Yang Xiaoqian to stand up and criticize Zhao Tianming alone. Why did Chen Er need all the other wives to get involved?

Especially Zhao Tianming's first wife, who is still the heir of Zhao Tianming, might not necessarily take advantage of his misfortune at this crucial moment. Zhang Xingchen frowned and asked with great doubt.

“Brother Chen Er, just say what you have to say. Is it because we’re having some trouble dealing with Zhao Tianming that we’re involving the other ladies?” Zhang Xingchen’s words made Chen Er roar to the sky.

"I did this to tarnish Zhao Tianming's reputation. Even if he falls into the hands of our Embroidered Uniform Guard, I'm afraid that if Zhao Beixing and Wei Zhongxian join forces, things will get complicated."

“If the other wives were to criticize Zhao Tianming, we would report this matter directly to the Emperor. At that point, even Wei Zhongxian would have to think twice before interfering,” Chen Er said confidently.

Chen Er's words made Zhang Xingchen's eyes light up. Zhang Xingchen was not stupid and knew very well that Zhao Beixing could promise Wei Zhongxian many benefits for Zhao Tianming. Then, Zhao Beixing would let Wei Zhongxian forcibly intervene. Even if Zhao Tianming fell into the hands of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, they might not be able to deal with him.

But things are different now. If they were to report this matter to the Emperor, even Wei Zhongxian would have to consider the consequences, since it would be a losing proposition.

Chen Er's words left Zhang Xingchen speechless. Now Zhang Xingchen felt that he had no choice but to admire Chen Er, because this young man was too sharp and could actually come up with such a perfect solution. Just imagine if Chen Er really persuaded the First Madam.

Then they'll point the finger at that damned Zhao Tianming. At that point, even Zhao Beixing will be helpless. Even if Zhao Beixing really spends a lot of money and impulsively gets Wei Zhongxian to come out and speak well of Zhao Tianming.

It's estimated that if the emperor gets even slightly angry, Wei Zhongxian will have to back down, because the waters in the court seem to run very deep.

Don't be fooled by Wei Zhongxian's apparent power; he seems to have the upper hand over the emperor. He wields considerable influence, otherwise the emperor wouldn't have allowed the Embroidered Uniform Guard to remain in power for so long. Upon realizing this, Zhang Xingchen grinned widely.

"Brother Chen Er, you're smarter than me. It seems that letting you join our Embroidered Uniform Guard has been like adding wings to a tiger. Let them regret it. Now let's go find the First Madam." Zhang Xingchen said with great power and domineering spirit.

However, Chen Er frowned and grabbed Zhang Xingchen, who was about to leave: "Brother, don't act rashly, okay? Let your wife handle this kind of thing, because we men shouldn't interfere."

Chen Er finally spoke his mind.

Chen Er wasn't stupid. If he and Zhang Xingchen blindly went to find the First Madam, it was hard to say whether they could even win her over. She was a woman, and when she saw two men come in, she wouldn't know what they were up to. So Chen Er immediately turned his gaze to Yang Xiaoqian.

"You two stay here and rest. I'm going to see the First Madam." Chen Er then involuntarily gave Zhang Xingchen a thumbs up.

"I didn't know before, and I even thought Yang Xiaoqian was taking the initiative to marry Zhao Tianming." Zhang Xingchen thought of that damned Zhao Tianming, who actually forced Yang Xiaoqian to be his concubine.

The man's fists clenched involuntarily, and his eyes seemed to be spitting fire. Chen Er had overheard the conversation between the two men and knew that Zhao Tianming was to blame. However, this was good for Chen Er, who was very confident that he could take Zhao Tianming down.
