I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 606

Chapter 606: Chapter 232: Distinguished Guest at the Chen Mansion, the Empress Has Arrived!

Yan Residence.

Before the sedan chair had come to a complete stop, Yan Peizhi lifted the curtain and jumped out, storming through the main gate.

Upon entering the courtyard, he ran into Yan Linghu, who was about to leave. Yan Linghu weighed a money bag in his hand, followed by two attendants, looking exceedingly pleased with himself.

"Go send word to the young masters of the Cui Family and the Feng Family. Tonight, I’ll host a grand banquet at the Hundred Flowers Pavilion. Have them all come and drink flower wine; I’ll cover all the expenses!"

Last time at the Hundred Flowers Festival, Yan Linghu squandered nearly three thousand taels of silver, resulting in him becoming the butt of jokes, coinciding with the capital inspection, almost dragging the Yan Family down with him.

In a fit of anger, Yan Peizhi sealed off his small treasury, cutting off his financial supply, so that for a long time he couldn’t even afford to play with the oiran, and couldn’t hold his head high in front of those fair-weather friends.

This time he must regain his standing!

"Father, you’re back."

Spotting Yan Peizhi, Yan Linghu revealed a slight grin and quickly approached, asking, "The court meeting is finished, right? How did it go?"

"Heh, without you saying I can already guess; this time Chen Mo committed heinous crimes, with irrefutable evidence, no chance of turning the tables!"

"Heaven’s misdeeds can be defied, but self-inflicted harm leads to doom!"

"..."

This statement is true, but was aimed at the wrong person...

Yan Peizhi’s temples throbbed, he said in a low voice, "Where are you planning to go?"

Yan Linghu thumped his chest loudly, earnestly saying, "Didn’t you ask me to be more alert lately? I’m just about to head to the Imperial Music Bureau to gather information. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely find out everything clearly."

Yan Peizhi smiled, but coldly, "So, should I be thanking you then?"

"Why be polite? These kinds of talks create distance between us; they’re just things every child should do." Yan Linghu said with a grin, "After all, you’ve got a good son!"

Yan Peizhi’s body subconsciously flinched, his response was almost conditioned.

"You’re right, I truly have a ’good son’!"

"Alas, it’s all because you taught me well... Ahem, it’s getting late, I’ve got friends waiting, I’ll be off..."

"Hold on."

Just as Yan Linghu was about to leave, Yan Peizhi called him back.

"Is there anything else, father?" Yan Linghu asked.

Looking at the towering fool, Yan Peizhi said, "This matter isn’t urgent, crouch down first."

"Hmm?"

Although somewhat puzzled, Yan Linghu obediently crouched down.

Yan Peizhi took a deep breath and swung his arm wide, delivering a hard slap to his face.

"Rebel son!!"

Smack!

Smack smack smack!

Yan Peizhi alternated his slaps, delivering over a dozen blows, yet Yan Linghu did not flinch, not even blinking.
