Chapter 136 th Birthday! Murder!
Chen Qingyin invited him to sit down, and Linlang handed tea to Chen Hanmo.

"My eldest brother mentioned it, so I wanted to say it too. Father will have his birthday in half a month, but the current situation in the mansion... can we still prepare for it?"

"Of course we have to take care of it. What impact will it have if Su Shaofeng is gone? Fourth sister lives in the mansion, and we can live our life as a family."

After Chen Hanmo finished speaking, Chen Qingyin nodded in relief.

So, the brother and sister decided to give Prime Minister Chen a good 50th birthday celebration.

He also wanted to use the joy of this event to dispel the unhappy clouds in the mansion.

*
Late April.

At the banquet for Prime Minister Chen’s fiftieth birthday, celebrities from the capital gathered at Chen’s house and drank fine wine to celebrate.

The emperor even sent his favorite seventh prince to represent him and attend the banquet with gifts.

Due to the large number of distinguished guests coming today, Chen Luhua also reluctantly attended.

She had some makeup on her face, but you could still see the haggard look in her eyes.

Some people even noticed that although Chen Qingyin and Chen Luhua were sisters, they sat at two separate tables.

Hu Mianmian followed Chen Qingyin to help greet guests at the door.

Many of Chen Qingyin’s old friends came.

Among them was the wife of Marquis Jinyang.

She saw Chen Qingyin and greeted her warmly.

"Oh, you look much better than when you were at the Hu family."

"Let's not talk about the past. I knew you were coming today, so I asked the servants to prepare your favorite wine on your table."

The wife of Marquis Jinyang smiled happily and gently patted the back of Chen Qingyin's hand: "You still understand me!"

After a while, Concubine Shu's maid also came.

"Hello, Miss Chen. Our queen is not in good health and cannot come to celebrate the old man's birthday in person, so we would like to ask you to pass on the gift on her behalf and wish the old man a long and happy life."

Chen Qingyin asked Linlang to take it, and pulled the maid aside with a smile, and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong with your queen's health? I wrote to her and wanted to visit her in the palace, but she wouldn't let me."

"I heard that the illness is very serious. Is it serious? Tell her not to be careless."

The senior palace maid glanced around and when she saw no one was paying attention, she couldn't help but smile secretly.

"Don't worry, Miss Chen. Our queen is not ill, but has other plans. Before coming here, the queen guessed that you would be worried, so she specially asked this servant to tell you."

As she spoke, she pulled out a letter from her sleeve and handed it to Chen Qingyin: "The Queen asked you to read it in a place where no one is around. I have to go back and report."

Chen Qingyin accepted it calmly and nodded: "I understand, tell her to take good care of herself. I will visit her in the palace when I have time another day."

The head maid left.

Chen Qingyin used the excuse of going to see how the kitchen was preparing, walked to the backyard behind the hanging flower gate, and opened the letter using the cover of the wall.

When she saw this, her eyebrows began to twitch.

Concubine Shu reminded her that Madam Chen had secretly entered the palace and met the Queen not long ago!
Most likely, they were targeting her, so Concubine Shu told Chen Qingyin to be careful.

Chen Qingyin returned to her room in fear and burned the letter.

She breathed slowly, calmed herself down, and then returned to the banquet hall in front.

Prime Minister Chen appeared with his two sons, looking energetic. Everyone congratulated him and Prime Minister Chen raised his hand to express his gratitude.

"I am truly flattered that you have taken time out of your busy schedule to attend my birthday party."

No one dared to take such humble words seriously.

Many people in the capital would love to be able to attend the Prime Minister's birthday banquet.

Prime Minister Chen stroked his beard and smiled, "I'm over fifty, but there's nothing to celebrate. The reason I'm willing to listen to the children's ideas and make a big fuss is because there's a happy event in my family!" Everyone was surprised and asked, "What's the happy event? Is there going to be a baby in the Prime Minister's family?"

Prime Minister Chen shook his head and pulled Chen Qingyin and Chen Luhua, who had just returned from the banquet, to his side.

He said to everyone with a smile: "My two daughters can live peacefully at home from now on!"

"It is a great happiness for me to have my daughter by my side even when I am old!"

Everyone paused, then applauded and spoke in agreement.

In fact, everyone has a clear mind.

At this juncture, Prime Minister Chen's two daughters divorced!
Not only did Chen Qingyin get a divorce, she also brought disgrace upon her ex-husband Hu Yunshen.

Chen Luhua, who married a prince, was able to divorce.

People in the neighborhood were talking endlessly about the two daughters of the Chen family.

Today, when Prime Minister Chen pulled them to his side and said these words in public, he was not really trying to show off his daughters.

But it was to tell everyone to stop talking nonsense outside. Even if his two daughters divorced and returned home, he could still afford to support them!
It also let everyone know that no matter whether it was Chen Qingyin or Chen Luhua, they all had the Chen family backing them.

Amid the compliments from the crowd, Prime Minister Chen waved his hand and signaled that the banquet should begin.

The guests toasted one after another.

Chen Dingshi dragged Hu Mianmian around everywhere.

Chen Hanjing scolded: "Chen Dingshi! Don't let your sister drink!"

Chen Dingshi turned around and found that Hu Mianmian had grabbed someone's wine glass with her little hand and was about to lick it to try.

"My dear sister! Put it down!" Chen Dingshi snatched the wine glass away.

Hu Mianmian puffed up her cheeks and said, "Third brother, why don't you let me drink?"

"This is bad stuff. Drinking it will make you dizzy. It's almost like poison."

"But you see, my brother drank it, so how come he's fine?"

Chen Dingshi looked at Chen Dingming and pouted: "Brother is an adult now, he was forced to drink because he had to toast with uncle. We are different, we are children!"

"No," Chen Dingshi reacted, "You are the child."

"I'm four and a half years old, I'm an old child!" Hu Mianmian retorted in a baby voice, making Chen Dingshi laugh.

As everyone was laughing, the butler suddenly ran over in a panic and whispered in Prime Minister Chen's ear, "Master, it's bad. There are so many officials at the door!"

Prime Minister Chen's face suddenly darkened, and before he could give any instructions, a group of officials had already barged into the courtyard in a menacing manner.

The leader, whose surname was Ji, was the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice and a member of the Queen's party.

All the guests present put down their glasses and looked at them in confusion.

Chen Hanmo stood up and asked in an unhappy tone, "Minister Ji, today is my father's birthday. You barged in without explanation. Do you still have any sense of propriety?"

Minister Ji bowed and saluted to the Prime Minister and the brothers Chen Hanmo and Chen Hanjing respectively.

After that, he said coldly: "I have been ordered to investigate a murder case."

"The Third Miss Chen should know Hu Yunrong, right? He is the younger brother of her husband before the divorce, Hu Yunshen, and the son of Mr. Hu who was born in his old age."

"A month ago, we found the body of this child. It was Hu Yunrong, the missing child of the Hu family. After investigation, the person who killed him confessed that it was the third daughter of the Chen family who asked him to kill Hu Yunrong."

"In addition, someone saw that on New Year's Eve, Chen Qingyin, the third daughter of the Chen family, drove the boy out of the Hu family."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes fell on Chen Qingyin.

Minister Ji said, "Miss Chen San, you are now officially designated as a suspect. Please come back to the yamen with us and cooperate with the investigation."
