Jeon Changqing sized up this son of his once again

Jeon Changqing sized up this son of his once again. He originally thought that the son in from of him was an unteachable profligate, but now, he clearly spoke about the Jeon Family's greatest hidden danger.

How difficult was it to bear the debt of a monarch?

After a short moment of silence, Jeon Changqing sighed and said, "The Jeon Clan has no way out."

Jeon Jungkook smiled and said, "I know. In Father's position, it's already too late to retreat. Once we lose our power, our Jeon family will become lambs waiting to be slaughtered. Our former political enemies, allies, and even father's family members might step on us."

Right now, Jeon Changqing's situation was akin to him walking on a thin wooden bridge with all retreats sealed. There were cliffs on both sides, and only the path ahead had unknown results.

It looked like he would climb to the top, but who knew how many people were actually hoping he would fall.

Jeon Changqing himself knew that the Jeon family was currently in the limelight, but in reality, their future was uncertain.

However, he had no choice and no way to retreat.

All these things were kept in his heart, but he did not expect that Jeon Jungkook, who was usually a good-for-nothing, would lay them out today.

Jeon Changqing looked at Jeon Jungkook with a gratified expression and said with a smile, "It's good that you know about this. From the looks of it, even though you're not good at literature or martial arts, you still have some foresight. Is the bossy and arrogant demeanor outside an act too?"

All along, Jeon Changqing thought that Jeon Jungkook was pretending to be obedient at home. He did not expect that he was pretending to be fierce when he Jungkookt out.

Jeon Jungkook smiled and said, "Father is talented and is favored by His Majesty. Big Brother and Second Brother are considered young talents as well. A family with three talents, who in the Capital would be unaware? Thus, there has to be a rich playboy in the mix."

From Jeon Jungkook's point of view, with the Jeon family's current reputation, one more person in the royal court was not a big deal. On the contrary, it was more help for him to be a hedonistic son who caused trouble. This would allow Jeon Changqing to have more opportunities to dirty himself.

It was also because of this that Jeon Changqing had turned a blind eye to Jeon Jungkook's profligate behavior all this while.

At this moment, Jeon Changqing naturally understood. All along, this son of his had been playing along with his own self-besmirching. He looked at Jeon Jungkook in front of him and sighed. "Although your elder brother and second brother are talented, they can't be considered to be at the top, let alone have profound methods and foresight. The titles of literary and martial scholars were actually given to our Jeon family by His Majesty, it's just that he didn't put it explicitly. On the other hand, your foresight is beyond my expectations. But now that the marriage has been decided, what do you think we should do?"
