In the past, Chen Qi was still there.

So what now?

No longer there.

Chen An raised his head and looked forward, with various thoughts passing through his mind.

People may be like this sometimes.

But when a person is still around, you may not feel that way, and may even find the other person a little annoying.

But when that person is gone and gone, you will discover the advantages in that person.

This is what Chen An is like at this moment.

In the past, when Chen Qi was still here, although his attitude towards this uncle was not too bad, it was not much better either. To put it into perspective, the only word that can be used to describe his specific attitude is indifference.

Can't blame him.

After all, when Chen An was a child, Chen An's uncle Chen Qi didn't feel very good about him.

But after Chen Qi left, the situation became different again.

For example, now, Chen An actually misses this uncle.

Now that I think about it, the other person may not actually have any advantages.

At least the other party's ability was good. Even when Chen An was away from here for a long time, he still managed the properties of Chen Guogong's mansion in an orderly manner and did not cause Chen An any more troubles.

In this aspect, Chen Ziling is much worse.

If it weren't for the relationship with Chen An, Chen Ziling would not be able to gain a foothold here. It is estimated that he will be kicked out by Chen Qi soon. This is a gap in ability, and there is no way.

Of course, now, these are nothing.

Chen Qi passed away more than ten years ago.

That time, Chen An, as his nephew, came specially to pay homage.

And now, Chen Ziling is about to die.

The fight between these two people seems to be meaningless now.

Even if we fight, we will probably go to the underworld.

That would be exciting.

Although he has not been back for more than ten years, there are still some elderly people living in this mansion.

After hearing the news that Chen An was back, they quickly stepped forward to serve him.

Later, Chen An met his brother.

Time has passed so long, the young man who followed Chen An has now become an old man.

Strictly speaking, Chen Ziling is actually several years younger than Chen An, but from the outside, he is much older than Chen An.

He now totally looks like an old man.

And what about Chen An?

Still nothing old,

Not only am I not aging, but I am getting younger as I live.

There is no way around this.

Chen An is now nearly seventy. If he were an ordinary person, he would be considered a proper old man.

But the situation obviously cannot be calculated like this.

The average person in this world can live to be fifty or sixty on average.

This is a very relaxed and normal age.

Gangqi people can generally live to be a hundred years old.

This number is obviously much larger, but it seems normal.

After all, even among ordinary people, there are occasionally some people who live over a hundred years old.

But when it comes to Xiantian, this data suddenly becomes exaggerated.

It is said that the lifespan of an innate warrior can reach two hundred easily.

This is already a lifespan that ordinary people cannot achieve in any case.

In other words, Chen An is now nearly seventy years old, which is basically nothing to an innate warrior.

It’s just that I have just left a small part of my life.

Compared with ten years ago when he had no breakthrough, Chen An not only does not look older now, but also looks younger.

This is very conspicuous.

Chen Ziling obviously discovered this, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

Then he smiled bitterly: "Brother, you look like a young man now.'

Isn't it?

There were several grandsons of Chen Ziling nearby.

Chen An and his grandchildren stand together, basically as if they are the same generation, and they don't feel any disobedience at all. This is very uncomfortable.

Some old friends in Shengjing, such as Cheng Zheng and Liu Chu, have long been used to it.

But it's obvious that Chen Ziling hasn't gotten used to this situation yet.

But it’s no use if you’re not used to it.

The situation is there, so what can you do if you are not used to it.

In order to celebrate the return of Chen An, the King of Chen, a grand banquet was held at Prince Chen's Mansion

On the one hand, this is a celebration, and on the other hand, it is also an announcement to people everywhere.

Prince Chen's mansion is named Chen An, but in fact everyone around him knows that Chen An doesn't like many people here, and he often doesn't come back.

So every time Chen An comes back, they have to declare their presence in this way and tell others that their background is still there. Chen An is not opposed to this approach.

What he has done over the years is basically treating this palace as a fat sheep, harvesting some wool from time to time.

But no matter what, he finally got benefits from this.

In this case, there is nothing wrong with a proper platform.

Compared with the lively banquet outside, there were not many people at the real family banquet.

Apart from Chen An and Chen Ziling, there are only a few wives and children of Chen Ziling, and the wives and children left by Chen Qi.

"You don't have to worry in the palace.'

Looking at Chen Qi's late wife and several adult children, Chen An smiled and said, "Even though my uncle is gone, he is still my uncle." "You will eventually have a share of the property in the palace."

The wife and children left behind by Chen Qi were immediately overjoyed.

Chen Ziling's children's faces were a little ugly,

Because of Chen An's previous instructions, Chen Ziling and Chen Qi jointly managed the house in the palace and were in charge of this huge industry.

The interests are attractive to people, and they may be good at first, but as time goes by, everyone wants to overpower the other, take complete control of the government's industry, and even drive the other out.

In the beginning, it was Chen Qi who suppressed Chen Ziling, but after Chen Qi passed away, it was the other way around.

And now Chen An's attitude seems to be that he wants to support Chen Qi's heir again?

People with scheming thoughts think that this is Chen An’s consideration of balance.

After all, such a huge industry cannot be completely left in the hands of one person.

Letting the two factions compete with each other and check and balance each other is a good choice.

But to be honest, Chen An didn’t really think about it that much

It doesn't matter to him who is in charge of the palace's property.

Anyway, no matter who is in charge, they will not dare to miss his share of the tribute.

The reason why he helped these people was purely because of what Chen Qi had done in the past.

After all, no matter what, Chen Qi worked diligently for him for decades, and finally died in the line of duty.

People are like this. If the conditions are right, you should help a group of wives and children left behind. This is what you should do after all.

Not to mention the reactions of people everywhere.

At least in front of me, no one dared to say anything.

The entire dining table was nominally a family banquet, but in fact only Chen Ziling dared to speak.

As for the others?

In front of Chen An, the King of Chen, he didn't have the courage to speak.
