Chapter 545: Chapter 174 Nan Batian: What, How is This Possible (Subscription Request)_2
At the thought, Chen Jie’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he said to Bai Wenjing, “Master, are you saying my wife, my wife is pregnant?”
Bai Wenjing replied, “That’s right.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Jie couldn’t help but burst out laughing, his face radiant with joy, his heart blossoming with happiness.
Su Yunjin too was utterly bewildered, followed by a sudden warmth in her eyes, crying with joy ah!
Huang Wan’er’s pregnancy had dealt a huge blow to Su Yunjin. Why, this woman had barely been with her husband a few times, why could she get pregnant, and not herself?
She wanted to bear children for the Chen family, but she feared she was infertile.
Her heart had been struggling, always tormenting her, but today she, she was actually pregnant.
At this moment, Third Miss Hua embraced Su Yunjin, allowing her to cry on her shoulder, feeling very sorry for her little sister.
And the people around them also came to realize, the lady was pregnant, this was truly a great affair!
In ancient times, progeny were highly valued, especially for a large power, where the importance of progeny was second only to the Gang Leader.
Why, because there were interests involved.
Like Chen Jie, he was the master of the White Tiger Hall, he had promoted many of his confidants, these confidants had acquired great power, so they would rally around Chen Jiusi.
If one day Chen Jie died, any new person taking over would have different degrees of closeness, possibly replacing them, bringing in a new batch of their confidants, thus their interests would be impacted.
But if Chen Jie had a son!
Then if Chen Jie died unexpectedly, everyone would support this young master as the master of the White Tiger Hall, and their power would still be theirs.
This legitimate power could be guaranteed, which was also why when ancient emperors died, even a young son a few years old could ascend the throne rather than choosing from the emperor’s own brothers, because changing anyone would affect the ministers’ power below.
Only by giving it to the Crown Prince, even if he was only a few years old, without governing capabilities, they could still maintain their power, with no significant difference from while the Emperor was alive.
This was a necessary factor in maintaining the stability of a regime.
Now that the lady was pregnant, it signified that Chen Jie’s regime could be considered secure, his subordinates that he had personally promoted, also had a pillar now, no longer fearing that the Hall Master would suddenly die causing them to scatter like loose sand without anyone to be loyal to.
Everyone was nearly cheering and jumping for joy, but the environment was wrong, this was a memorial hall.
A memorial hall should not burst into such loud laughter, this was simply too undisciplined.
Su Yunjin also realized this, her expression somewhat unsightly, feeling like she had caused trouble for her husband.
At this thought, she said to Third Miss Hua, “Sister, let’s go back to the rear hall now.”
Hearing this, Third Miss Hua also realized it was indeed improper to be too jubilant, otherwise it would be difficult to end properly.
Thinking this, Third Miss Hua was ready to leave, Chen Jie also realized the atmosphere was wrong, especially seeing Su Yunjin’s somewhat dim little face, he knew the little young lady felt like she had caused him trouble again.
At that moment, Chen Jie took Su Yunjin’s small hand, coming forward to the memorial hall.
“Husband, what are you doing?”
Su Yunjin was a bit flustered, feeling she had messed up her husband’s funeral plan.
And the young followers below also looked over, all staring at Chen Jie and Su Yunjin, Su Yunjin’s hands trembling a bit, what timing to find out about the pregnancy, if it messed up her husband’s plans what would she do?
She kept her head down, but Chen Jie quietly said to her, “Wife, thank you for giving me such a big gift.”
After speaking, Chen Jie began, “Everyone, thank you for attending today’s funeral of the twenty-eight heroes of White Tiger Hall, they are all heroes of White Tiger Hall, all excellent, their spirit tablets will be placed in Heroic Spirit Hall for future generations to worship, and their bodies will be buried at Qingshan Pass, it is said: Qingshan is fortunate to bury loyal bones, they are the loyal bones, we White Tiger Hall are proud to have them!”
“Moreover, I just heard some good news, my wife, is pregnant, this is definitely a gift from the heavens!”
“This is a reward from the heavens for our White Tiger Hall, it is telling us, although our ancestors of White Tiger Hall are gone, but there are successors, this signifies that our White Tiger Hall will go further, never to stop!”
“And I also hope, these twenty-eight heroes’ souls, in their reincarnation, could look at our Chen family, come back to White Tiger Hall, let me, Chen Jiusi, repay their kindness!” Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn novelꜰire.net
Chen Jie spoke with sincerity and heart, the surrounding people listened and looked at each other, moved by Chen Jie’s words.
At the same time, their gaze towards Su Yunjin was also different, the child in her belly was not only the future hope of White Tiger Hall, but also an existence greatly anticipated by the heroic spirits, that was the direction White Tiger Hall was moving towards!
Just then, someone shouted, “Hall Master!”
Immediately following, the disciples all started shouting: Hall Master, Hall Master, Hall Master!
At that moment, the atmosphere in White Tiger Hall reached its peak, the awkwardness of the earlier joy due to the pregnancy completely gone, now only the excitement of the crowd and their anticipation for the future remained.
Of course, the deceased’s family members didn’t feel offended, after all, the Hall Master did say, hoping their family’s departed would reincarnate in his wife’s child.
What was their status, what was the Hall Master’s status, the Hall Master saying this was the greatest grace for their family.
In an instant, everyone’s loyalty to Chen Jie increased by quite a lot, Chen Jie’s actions turned what was initially a serious mistake in the memorial hall into a sense of shared antagonism, instead enhancing his personal charm.
