Chen Song felt as if a thousand arrows were piercing his heart; the father and son had begun to hurt each other.
They found the other person increasingly unpleasant.
Shen Yunting turned his gaze to Shen Song again, and snorted coldly, "I think you've rested enough, let's continue."
Without hesitation, Chen Song charged forward, fists clenched.
The father and son got into a fight again.
Compared to the "filial piety and loving father" here, Qu Jingyun's place is much warmer.
"Mother, this is an article written by my second brother. Take a look?" Shen Yue excitedly rushed to Qu Jingyun with the article in hand.
Behind him followed Shen Cong, who looked conflicted, muttering under his breath, "The article wasn't very well written, so there was no need to let Mother read it."
Despite saying that, a glimpse of hope flickered in his eyes as he looked at Qu Jingyun.
It's clear that deep down he still hoped Qu Jingyun would take a look.
Qu Jingyun took it as she pleased, and after reading it, she smiled slightly.
With satisfaction, he said, "He truly is my son."
Shen Cong's expression immediately lit up, his face filled with disbelief.
His mother actually praised him.
This is absolutely unbelievable!
"How have you been lately?" Qu Jingyun turned her head to look at Shen Yue.
“I have been learning from Dr. Chen, and when I have free time, I help my sister-in-law with household chores,” Shen Yue replied obediently.
"Not bad." Qu Jingyun nodded approvingly.
Then he had Xiao Liu come over and give some things to Chen Yue.
"These are several shops in the west of the city, which will be part of your dowry. You will be responsible for managing them yourself, and all the profits will be yours."
"This..." Shen Yue was too excited to speak.
She never expected that Qu Jingyun would think so much for her.
Ultimately, no amount of words could fully express her feelings.
Shen Yue gently embraced Qu Jingyun and said in a low voice, "Thank you."
"I am your mother, there is nothing to thank me for," Qu Jingyun chuckled.
Then he turned his attention to Shen Cong.
Then he asked, "Are you confident about passing next year's imperial examination?"
Shen Cong nodded: "Yes, I also discussed this matter with the Master, and the Master also felt that I had the ability."
Qu Jingyun was satisfied.
Her gaze towards them grew even gentler.
After being back for so long, her heart has finally settled down.
As night fell, Qu Jingyun personally prepared a sumptuous meal for the family.
The field was filled with laughter and cheers, and the previous barriers seemed to have completely disappeared.
All that remained was the warmth of the family.
As for Shen Yunting, he was currently handling state affairs alone in his study.
A cool breeze blew by, and he looked up at the window, his expression lonely.
He thought he would be able to embrace his beloved after returning to the capital, but he never expected to still be left alone in his empty room.
Really...
A knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.
Bai Shuangshuang's voice came from outside the door: "General Shen, may Shuangshuang come in for a moment?"
Shen Yunting frowned inwardly and said in a low voice, "The study is an important place, and outsiders are not allowed to enter. Please return to your room, Miss Bai."
"Shuangshuang saw that it was late and General Shen was still busy, so she personally cooked you a bowl of noodles. She hopes you will like it," Bai Shuangshuang said again.
Shen Yunting, who was inside the room, frowned.
Over the years, he has never lacked women throwing themselves at him.
Listening to what the other person said, I couldn't help but think more.
This person is probably...
With that thought in mind, Shen Yunting finally opened the door.
He looked at Bai Shuangshuang with an unfriendly expression: "I don't like to eat at night, so you should take it back. I hope you won't bother me while you're in the manor."
Bai Shuangshuang's face turned pale instantly; she sensed the distance in the other person's words.
But I still want to fight for myself.
He then spoke up, saying, "But the goods are already made, and it would be a waste to throw them away. General Shen, wouldn't you do me the honor?"
"My principles will not be broken by anyone," Shen Yunting said detachedly.
He said bluntly, "Our General's Mansion doesn't lack this bowl of noodles. If you really think it's a waste, you can take care of it yourself, or someone in the General's Mansion will need it."
"But Shuangshuang heard from the people in the manor that the old lady used to often send food to the general at night. Now that the old lady is no longer here, Shuangshuang thought..." Bai Shuangshuang bit her lower lip lightly, her expression revealing her true feelings.
“You are naturally different from my wife,” Shen Yunting said bluntly.
"She is my principle."
"Moreover, Miss Bai has a special status, so she really shouldn't be making soup herself."
As Shen Yunting watched the other person's expression change repeatedly, his suspicions grew stronger.
His expression grew increasingly cold, and he said bluntly, "It's getting late, Miss Bai should go back."
After saying this, Shen Yunting turned to leave.
But Bai Shuangshuang called out to him.
“General Shen, you and your wife have already divorced, and this mansion is lacking someone who understands your needs. You…” Bai Shuangshuang mustered her courage to volunteer herself.
But before he could finish speaking, Shen Yunting interrupted him.
"My wife will only be Qu Jingyun, there will be no other. I will wait for her to come back."
“Miss Bai is a smart woman and should know what to say and what not to say. I have found people to pick you up, and they will take you away in three days.”
"But General Shen, you should understand by now that we've come this far, I love you." Bai Shuangshuang finally spoke her heart.
She was filled with shyness and slowly lowered her head.
Such words were ultimately a bit too much for an unmarried woman like her.
But to my surprise, I didn't receive a response from the other party for a long time.
She mustered her courage and looked up, only to be met with Shen Yunting's cold and aloof face. She was immediately startled and involuntarily took a few steps back before stopping.
"I have made myself very clear. Miss Bai, can't you understand? Qu Jingyun is the woman I have cherished since I was young, and that will never change."
"But you're already divorced," Bai Shuangshuang growled unwillingly.
"So what? I will wait for her." Shen Yunting's expression was firm.
Perhaps only when Qu Jingyun is mentioned does a hint of tenderness appear in his eyes.
That gentleness alone was enough to make Bai Shuangshuang jealous.
“But what if she doesn’t come back?” Bai Shuangshuang asked again.
"That's fine, I'll just be a loner. Anyway, I have children, so it's not a big deal." Shen Yunting said indifferently.
He stated frankly, "I, Chen Yunting, cannot do without Qu Jingyun."
Hearing this, Bai Shuangshuang was deeply hurt.
After a long pause, he tried to justify himself, saying, "Is it because of my identity? If it weren't for my identity, would you...?"
"No," Shen Yunting said firmly.
Bai Shuangshuang looked up at Shen Yunting, trying to find some affection in his eyes.
Ultimately, it ended in failure.
The other party really has absolutely no interest in her!
