Chapter 463: For the Marquis Mansion

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The more the Old Marquis pondered the situation, the more frustrated he grew, prompting him to seek out his lifelong companion.

“Darling, do you remember the Dragon Phoenix Hall from over 20 years ago?”

The Old Marquis’s decades-old habits were hard to break. He had grown accustomed to treating his lifelong companion as the most significant person in his life. Regardless of the circumstances, he needed to confide in and discuss matters with her.

The Lady of the Marquis’ Mansion pondered for a moment. “Is that the Dragon Phoenix Hall known for delving into others’ privacy and selling information for profit?”

The Old Marquis nodded. “Exactly.”

“But wasn’t the Dragon Phoenix Hall dismantled?”

The Old Marquis shook his head. “I, too, believed it was destroyed, but I’ve recently heard rumors that the Dragon Phoenix Hall seems to have resurfaced.”

The Lady of the Marquis’ Mansion was genuinely surprised. “Did Butler Chen inform you?”

The Marquis had previously disclosed that the old steward in their household, Old Chen, played a vital role in the Dragon Phoenix Hall during its heyday. When the Dragon Phoenix Hall faced adversity, it was the Old Marquis who saved his life, prompting him to stay on as a steward in the Marquis Mansion.

Following Mr. Chen’s passing, his son, Mr. Chen, took over the responsibilities.

Over the years, thanks to Butler Chen and his son, every business within the Marquis Mansion had prospered. Their contributions had significantly enriched the Marquis Mansion.

Later on, the Old Marquis had sent Butler Chen to join Su Bin and others.

At that time, the Lady of the Marquis’ Mansion had already been sequestered in the temple hall. She only learned of this after Butler Chen had moved over to Su Bin’s side.

If she hadn’t committed any wrongdoing, she would have vehemently protested.

She was well aware of the nature of her sons.

If the management of the Marquis Mansion’s shops and businesses were entrusted to their sons, it seemed almost certain that they would squander everything within three short years.

Even when the Old Marquis disclosed this information to his lifelong companion, she raised objections.

However, the Old Marquis explained, “When I saved Old Mr. Chen, his agreement to serve as a butler in the Marquis Mansion came with a stipulated time frame.’

“Both Mr. Chen and his son are people of integrity. When Mr. Chen passed away, the transition was swift. His son assumed his role.”

“According to the arrangement, Mr. Chen no longer had obligations to remain as the Marquis Mansion’s butler. He also informed me in advance of his intention to leave.”

“I don’t need to elucidate the reasons behind Mr. Chen’s departure. He left due to his displeasure with our four sons. He also deemed our four sons unworthy of his continued service.

“But Su Bin is distinct from Qin Zhenzhen.”

“Perhaps Mr. Chen will recognize that Su Bin and Qin Zhenzhen are worth following.”

“I’m contemplating the Marquis Mansion’s future.”

“If Su Bin and Qin Zhenzhen can retain Mr. Chen, that would be a significant boon!”

“When Su Bin returns to the Marquis Mansion, Mr. Chen can still serve our household.”

“With Mr. Chen in the Marquis Mansion, financial concerns will be alleviated.”

Nonetheless, the Old Marquis could not have foreseen that he would be deceived by Mr. Chen.

In actuality, Mr. Chen held the title of Hall Master in the Dragon Phoenix Hall, but he misled the Old Marquis by claiming to be a linchpin of the organization.

Upon Mr. Chen’s demise, he passed the position of Hall Master in the Dragon Phoenix Hall to his son. His son later transferred it to Su Bin, and no one was privy to this information.

Not even the Third Prince had knowledge of this, let alone the Old Marquis.

At most, he surmised that Mr. Chen had some connection to the Dragon Phoenix Hall.

Upon hearing about the resurgence of the Dragon Phoenix Hall, he promptly sought out Mr. Chen.

Nevertheless, Mr. Chen responded, “I promise to divulge everything I can, but please pardon me if there are matters I cannot discuss.”

The Old Marquis refrained from pressing Mr. Chen about the Dragon Phoenix

Hall..
