"Luckily, your mother came back, otherwise you don't know how badly you would have been harmed."

“You can learn from your mother in the future; she’s a real little devil.”

Dr. Chen couldn't help but laugh out loud, as if he had thought of something amusing.

The siblings, Shen Yue and his sister, exchanged a glance, their expressions showing a hint of bewilderment.

Dr. Chen left them some homework and then left the General's Mansion.

As soon as everyone left, Shen Yue couldn't wait to speak: "Second brother, if you get along well with Mother in the future, you will know that she is really a very good person."

"We misunderstood her before; she genuinely cares about both of us."

"It doesn't seem like my aunt; she almost killed us all."

Shen Yue now has a lot of opinions about Qi Yun'er.

This time, Shen Cong didn't say anything, only gave a soft "hmm".

Everything eventually returned to calm.

Meanwhile, Shen Yunting finally returned to the capital.

Early in the morning, the Shen family members waited at the gate of the General's Mansion for news.

"We've arrived at the city gate, and the people are giving us a warm welcome. We'll have to wait a while before we reach the general's residence."

Xiao Liu rushed over, eager to tell everyone where Shen Yunting was.

"I haven't seen my father in so long, I wonder if he still remembers me." Shen Yue was equally excited.

The two brothers didn't say anything, but they craned their necks and looked on expectantly.

The old lady was even more excited, pacing back and forth at the door, as if she couldn't stop.

In contrast, Qu Jingyun was much calmer.

She saw a procession approaching the general's mansion from afar.

And at the very front was none other than the dashing Shen Yunting!

After many years, he has matured a lot and bears the marks of time and hardship.

Right behind him stood a woman in full armor, sharing in the grateful gazes of the people.

"Who is that woman?" Shen Yue noticed it too, and a feeling of unease welled up in her heart.

Yu Guang cautiously glanced at the calm Qu Jingyun beside him.

Seeing that the other party's expression remained unchanged, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.

"Could it be some white moonlight who saved my life?" Yin Xue couldn't help but ask.

A simple sentence immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

Shen Song's face fell.

I have this urge to crawl into a hole and disappear.

He made a mistake, and he'll probably have to spend the rest of his life atoning for it.

During this time, he has been trying to get back together with Yin Xue.

He kept giving her things she used to like, trying to evoke the beautiful memories Yin Xue had of the two of them.

However, all of them ended in failure.

Yin Xue had completely lost hope in him, and it seemed that nothing she did to him would make a difference.

Thinking of this, Chen Song gave a bitter laugh.

This is all my own doing!

Fortunately, Yin Xue didn't want to divorce him, otherwise he wouldn't know where to cry.

"Don't talk nonsense. Your father isn't that kind of person. What 'white moonlight' nonsense? He's upright and honest. He would definitely care about the women in his family. How could he possibly do something like having an affair with another woman?" The old lady rolled her eyes.

His gaze swept over the crowd, his eyes carrying a hidden warning.

These words were undoubtedly a slap in the face to Shen Song.

He wanted to speak up in rebuttal, but dared not say anything.

They could only keep their anger bottled up inside.

Shen Yunting could hear Qu Jingyun's voice from a distance, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up, completely unlike his usual stern demeanor.

The couple hadn't seen each other for a long time and missed each other terribly.

Before even reaching the entrance of the general's mansion, he couldn't wait to get off the carriage and walk a few steps to the crowd.

Staring intently at Qu Jingyun, he said in a hoarse voice, "I'm back."

To his surprise, the other party's reaction was indifferent, only giving a soft "hmm".

Shen Yunting sensed something was amiss, but didn't dwell on it.

I just felt that maybe it was because it was a long-awaited reunion and the other person was a little uncomfortable.

It's also possible that she doesn't feel comfortable expressing her longing for someone in front of others.

He urged, "Let's go in."

"Aren't you going to introduce this young lady?" Qu Jingyun suddenly spoke up, immediately drawing everyone's attention.

Their gazes swept back and forth between Shen Yunting and the woman, as if trying to find something.

Shen Yunting looked troubled, and everyone's hearts sank to the bottom.

Could it be, as they suspected, that this was Shen Yunting's mistress?

"Her name is Bai Shuangshuang. She is the daughter of an old friend of mine. She may stay at the mansion for a few days," Shen Yunting said after a pause.

However, he keenly noticed that everyone's gazes kept shifting.

The strange feeling in my heart intensified.

What on earth is going on?

"It's not some kind of life-saving favor, is it?" Shen Yue couldn't help but mutter to herself.

But as soon as he said this, others couldn't hear him clearly, but Shen Yunting, who was highly skilled in martial arts, heard him very clearly.

"What did you say?"

Shen Yunting looked up, his aura fierce.

Shen Yue was startled and quickly hid behind Qu Jingyun, shaking her head repeatedly: "She didn't say anything."

But inwardly, he couldn't help but think: his father looked a little scary from certain angles!

Although Shen Yunting did not speak again, his words were deeply etched in everyone's hearts.

It seems that Lin Qingping came in the same way back then, taking advantage of the life-saving grace to gain entry and almost steal Chen Song away.

Will this be a repeat of the same mistake?

Upon considering this possibility, the gazes of the crowd towards Bai Shuangshuang inevitably became more hostile.

Although Bai Shuangshuang sensed that something was wrong, she didn't say anything.

He simply followed closely behind Shen Yunting.

"You're finally back! You have no idea what we've been through these past few days. We really thought you..."

As soon as the door closed, the old lady couldn't wait to hug Shen Yunting and burst into tears.

"I've returned safely, haven't I? Mother, please don't worry." Shen Yunting patted the old lady's back with a smile to comfort her.

His gaze never left Qu Jingyun from beginning to end.

But the other person just stared straight ahead, seemingly lost in thought.

After comforting the old lady and having the servants take her to rest, Shen Yunting turned his gaze back to the three children, his expression immediately darkening.

"Although I haven't been in Beijing these past few years, I can still guess how much trouble you've caused your mother. You've disappointed me somewhat."

His imposing gaze fell upon the three of them, who slowly lowered their heads, their expressions filled with shame.

But Qu Jingyun retorted rudely, "They are my children, I raised them, who are you to lecture them?"

The moment those words were spoken, the atmosphere in the room froze.

The three children didn't dare to lift their heads, but in their hearts they couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

Is their mother really that fierce?

Given Shen Yunting's aura, none of them dared to speak loudly when standing in front of him.

Qu Jingyun actually dared to be so impolite, she's really something!
