Oh no!

Could it be that Father knows about this?

Her heart was pounding. Her father had already pulled her up and sat her down, holding her hand tightly. "Zhiyi, I just want to tell you that no one in the world can easily touch the Shen family!"

"With your father around, you can live a peaceful and comfortable life."

Shen Chongde's words carried a hint of arrogance.

And he has the ability to do so!

Shen Zhiyi felt a surge of warmth in her heart upon hearing this. Recalling the final fate of the Shen family in her previous life, she couldn't help but feel heartache and her eyes involuntarily reddened.

When Shen Chongde saw his daughter crying, he felt extremely distressed.

I tried to wipe her tears, but the more I wiped, the more tears she cried...

at last,

When his wife arrived, Xu Yunyi saw the scene and immediately scolded, "Shen Chongde, on such a joyous day, how could you make your daughter cry?"

“Madam, this…” Shen Chongde tried to explain.

"Alright, shut up. You reek of alcohol, it's awful."

Shen Chongde felt even more aggrieved. He had only drunk two glasses of wine, so how could he smell so much alcohol on him?

After the couple coaxed Shen Zhiyi for a long time, Shen Chongde finally breathed a sigh of relief, only to hear a familiar voice outside.

"That brat Shen Muzhi, after drinking a few cups of cat piss, he must have been running wild outside again. I'll break his legs!"

He started walking out as he spoke, leaving Xu Yunyi feeling quite helpless.

She chatted with her daughter for a while longer before leaving.

Shen Zhiyi was surprised that her father and brothers were so perceptive, realizing the Song family's intentions before she could. Did they know anything about the Song family's background...?

There are still people!

After calming herself down, she went behind the screen to check.

There was no one there!

When did Zhou Xuance leave?

——

Meanwhile, Zhou Xuance was already on his way back to his residence.

"Your Highness, it seems that today's events were orchestrated by the Duke and the Young Master," Kong Qing analyzed.

Zhou Xuance nodded.

"I didn't have much contact with the Duke before. I heard that he was brave and brave in the army when he was young, and I thought he was just a brave man. I didn't expect him to have such strategic skills."

Zhou Xuance chuckled: "Having commanded the Northern Army for over thirty years, how could he possibly possess only military prowess?"

"However, today His Majesty wanted the Crown Prince to share his burdens, but he refused outright, which was quite unexpected."

"The Shen family is loyal and brave. Although the Duke of Zhenguo has been serving in the field for many years, he has strictly followed His Majesty's orders. However, the prerequisite is that His Majesty values ​​and trusts the Shen family..."

"The Duke of Zhenguo is a key minister of the court, and even more so, a powerful minister!"

"With 10,000 troops under his command, he would naturally obey His Majesty's every word. But the Northern Army has over 300,000 elite troops. If he wanted to, it would be no difficult for him to change the world's ruler."

Kong Qing was alarmed.

But it made perfect sense to me.

I have enough power to overturn the world to my name, how could I willingly become a fish on a chopping board?

At this moment, the carriage had arrived at the gate of the Prince's mansion. As Zhou Xuance slowly entered the mansion, he looked up at the sky and saw that the moon was obscured by heavy clouds.

He murmured, "It seems like things are about to change."
