Chapter 207: Disobeying the Elders, and Having Reason

Shen Yuanhong frowned and waved his hand to send the man away in a bad mood. He was afraid that if he continued to talk, he would be so angry that his blood would flow backwards.

Disobeying elders is even justified.

I taught this kid how to behave in a nice way, but he seemed to not understand what I was saying. It was really infuriating!!!

"Okay."

Although he was scolded but managed to avoid a punch, Chen Yaoxing was not angry at all.

He responded to Shen Yuanhong with a smile, and then gently pinched Shen Wan's slender fingers.

"Little sister, it's getting late. I'm leaving now and will come to see you tomorrow."

In the blink of an eye, it was the day of Chen Wan’s first birthday celebration.

Shen Yuanhong and Chen Mu took special leave and got up early to start working.

Although the relatives, friends and colleagues who were invited to the 100-day party were not invited to this one-year-old birthday party, there were still many people at the Duke's Mansion.

There were about 200 servants and guards in the mansion, plus the trusted confidants of the brothers Shen Yuanhong and Shen Mu, as well as the Shen family's own members, totaling more than 300 people. The scene was quite grand.

There were more than thirty tables for the banquet, filling up the two rows of rooms in the front yard.

Everything was ready, just waiting for the feast to begin. Chen Mu finally showed up, holding Chen Wan, who was wearing new clothes.

"Meet the prince."

Suddenly, a large group of generals rushed over and surrounded Shen Mu and Shen Wan. Then, countless pairs of eyes fell on Shen Wan.

It had been such a long time since they had seen the lord's little daughter, so they had been craning their necks to wait here. When they saw Chen Mu coming out holding the baby, they immediately surrounded him.

Being stared at by so many pairs of eyes, Chen Wan felt somewhat uncomfortable.

She pursed her lips, and for a moment she felt that no matter where she looked, she would always meet a pair of scrutinizing eyes.

After a moment, she simply closed her eyes and pretended to be dead.

He looked up and scanned the area, and sure enough, he saw that all these people's eyes were fixed on his younger sister. With so many pairs of eyes, it was no wonder that his younger sister was under so much pressure.

Just as I was about to speak, a smiling voice sounded in my ears.

"Oh, this is our little lady, right? Her eyebrows and eyes are very similar to the prince's. She is so cute."

The one who spoke was Lu Li. He stretched his neck, and his pair of passionate peach blossom eyes fell on the little girl with her eyes closed, his eyes full of curiosity.

Tsk, the lord’s little cotton-padded jacket looks so pink, tender, soft and sticky, just like a glutinous rice dumpling. It is so cute that it touches his heart. He really wants to steal it.

"Yes, yes, I also think that the young lady looks very similar to the prince..."

“…”

The other generals echoed, their eyes gradually becoming fiery.

A baby of this size is so small that one can't help but admire it. The baby in front of them is so beautiful that these tough guys can't wait to hold it in their arms and admire it.

Listening to the noisy chatter in her ears, Chen Wan couldn't help but quietly open her eyes and look at this group of rough guys.

[This man is handsome and charming, with amorous eyes. He must be my father's lieutenant general Lu Li.]

[This person was truly loyal to my father, but it's a pity that he didn't have a good ending in the end.]

After his father's death, all his military power was taken over by Prince Jin. Prince Jin was suspicious by nature and refused to trust anyone except his destined official spouse, Su Haitang.

Therefore, after taking over Dad's military power, I became suspicious every day, always feeling that these soldiers were trained by Dad and would only swear loyalty to Dad until death. Even if Dad died, they would never truly submit to him.

Perhaps because he felt guilty about Su Haitang's father's death, he was always uneasy and suspected that the soldiers would rebel one day.

[I suspect that the soldiers will bring serious disaster and chaos to Su Haitang and the Yun Kingdom in order to avenge their father.]

Driven by this uneasiness, he pondered for a while and finally decided to eliminate this army and completely eliminate the future troubles.

[So, when the border was in turmoil, he took the opportunity to issue an order, sending his father's troops to pacify the border.]

[It seems like they are there to quell the war, but in fact they are being sent to be cannon fodder.]

He sent his soldiers off to fight, but deliberately withheld their food and wages. The border had less than ten days' worth of food. From the very beginning, he had no intention of keeping this army alive.

[The generals were not foolish. After not seeing any food or supplies for a long time, they guessed the King of Jin's true intentions and, in a rage, led their soldiers in rebellion.]

The soldiers captured three cities in one go, and from then on they ruled the mountain as kings. If they could continue like this, it would be a carefree life.

[It's a shame he foolishly went back to his old lover.]

He didn't know that his old lover, Cui Ning, had long been bribed by Su Haitang. As soon as he showed up, he was captured by Su Haitang's men and eventually hacked to death.

[Alas, miserable, miserable...]

Chen Wan sighed inwardly and shifted her gaze to the other generals.

These people were with Lu Li and had similar experiences. Half of them were lured out and killed by Pei Lin using Shen Yaoxing.

As for the other group of people, some followed Chen Mu and were killed together with Chen Mu, while others died on the day when the occupied city was captured by the army sent by King Jin.

Chen Mu raised his head and looked at everyone that Chen Wan had mentioned in her mind.

I have long known that as the Shen family army, their fate would not be good after the Shen family fell, but I never expected that almost all of these people would die.

These are all meritorious officials and generals of the Yun State. They have risked their lives for the Yun State and made great contributions.

But in the end, he was forced to rebel because of Xiao Yelin's suspicion, and was reduced from a meritorious minister to a traitor who did not have a good end.

After a while, Shen Yuanhong came over and arranged for everyone to sit down.

Except for Shang Rong who is still ill, all the members of the Shen family have expired.

Even the night moonlight that hadn't appeared for a long time came.

Although her face was healed, she still wore a mask for safety reasons. She didn't want to bring disaster to the Shen family because of her identity.

But the long black dress and the slender waist that could not be grasped with one hand made her look noble and unattainable just by looking at her temperament.

Xiaowaner is very happy because she hasn't seen the moonlight for a long time.

[Sister Yuese is so beautiful. She and Uncle Qi are a perfect match, a perfect match.]

Even I can't help but drool at Sister Yuese's figure. I wonder how Uncle Qi can hold back?

[I don't know how long it will take for me to find a sweet couple if you two keep dragging your feet like this?]

[Ahhhh, according to the plot, it will take at least several years for Uncle Seven to realize his feelings for Sister Yeyuese.]

[Tsk, what a waste of these wonderful years! I feel so bad for you guys.]

Qingyuan is quite far from Dongyuan, and there are fixed servants serving there. The servants there seldom come to Dongyuan to gossip.
