Chapter 194 Shen Lanxi, how dare you!
"You unfilial and disobedient brat, come out here!" Old Madam Shen never expected that the guards would dare to stop her at the door.
His anger surged even higher!
Well, after spending a few days among men, you really think you're braver than women?
No matter how capable she is, she is still not a man!
No matter how capable she was, in the end she was still kicked out of the army camp in disgrace!
In the end, she can only rely on the men of the Shen family!
She won't even go when she's just asked to pray for the male offspring. Does she still think she's some kind of great general who quells rebellions?
Today she's going to show her that she's been a joke all along!
New and old grudges are being released little by little, and today Old Madam Shen is going to settle a score with Shen Lanxi!
"Shen Lanxi, you unfilial and disobedient thing, come out here!" The old lady Shen shouted louder and louder, and her aura became more and more arrogant!
Liu and the others stood behind Old Madam Shen, watching calmly without uttering a single word of advice.
"General, the old lady is shouting outside!" Chunxue reported with a troubled expression.
Shen Lanxi heard it.
She gave a cold laugh and put down her pen.
"Let's go out and see what's going on!"
Ban Sicao asked Cheng Zheng in a low voice, "Is her family always making such a fuss?"
Cheng Zheng nodded.
"Should we get them some medicine? That way they'll all be quiet from now on!"
Cheng Zheng glanced at Ban Sicao speechlessly. "She's so tall, how can she speak and act so childishly?"
Just like a teenager who hasn't grown up, so noisy!
"Why don't we just give them some 'rich man's medicine'? I guarantee they'll all be like they've got a disease of affluence, with everything done for them and they'll have to be waited on hand and foot!"
Cheng Zheng: "..."

When Madam Shen saw Shen Lanxi come out, she immediately ordered the guards to move aside.
The guards stood still, staring straight ahead, as if they hadn't seen Old Madam Shen at all.
But as soon as she tried to get past them, the weapons in their hands seemed to have eyes and blocked her way.
Madam Shen's face darkened with anger.
"Shen Lanxi, I asked your second aunt to tell you to go to the temple to pray for the male members of the Shen family, why didn't you go?" Old Madam Shen glared fiercely and questioned.
Shen Lanxi stepped forward, and the two guards automatically made way for her!
An imposing aura swept forward, intimidating everyone. Madam Shen, instinctively trembling with fear, took two steps back.
After I finished canceling, I immediately felt annoyed.
What is there to be afraid of? Now she's like a tiger whose claws have been removed; at most, she's just scary to look at.
"As a descendant of the Shen family, it's one thing for you to disobey your elders' orders. But the front lines are critical, and fighting could break out at any moment. All the young men of our Shen family are on the battlefield, and you, selfish and self-serving, won't even go to pray for them and protect their safety. How could my Shen family produce such an unfilial and vicious woman like you!"
Old Madam Shen pointed at Shen Lanxi and questioned her repeatedly, her hatred as deep as bone marrow, as if she wanted to tear her apart, peel off her skin, and extract her marrow.
Shen Lanxi said coldly, "Since Grandmother knew that a great war was about to break out, why did she still take the family to the temple? Wasn't she afraid that the rebels would capture them and use them to threaten the army that was suppressing the rebellion?"
“If that really happens, Grandmother will be the one who ruins the Shen family!” Shen Lanxi’s sharp eyes swept over.
Startled by that look, Old Madam Shen's mind went blank for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure and immediately launched into a tirade of curses.
"I prayed to the Bodhisattva to bless our Shen family descendants, but you cursed the Shen family instead. You are simply unworthy to be a descendant of the Shen family. Our Shen family has no one as unfilial and disrespectful as you!"
Shen Lanxi said coldly, "Didn't I warn you before to stay in the courtyard and not go out?"
She had certainly said it, but how could Madam Shen admit it now?
"Yonglin Prefecture is guarded by a large army to quell the rebellion; how could they possibly allow rebels to infiltrate?"
"If the traitors have indeed infiltrated, it's because of your previous poor governance."
"The streets are full of vendors and ordinary people, yet you insist on not letting us go out. What are your intentions?"
Madam Tian added fuel to the fire, saying, "What other motive could she possibly have? She's just afraid no one will listen to her, so she's using her own family as a scapegoat to show outsiders. Once they see how ruthless she is to her own people, they'll definitely be afraid of her!"
Miao muttered, pouting, "You want to establish your authority, so why are you using us as a scapegoat? We may be members of the Shen family, but we don't owe you anything!"
Liu said, "Lanxi, your grandmother just wants you to go to the temple to pray for blessings with us. Just give in and come with us!"
Madam Miao scoffed and rolled her eyes. "Second sister-in-law, it's pointless for you to step in and play peacemaker now. Didn't you hear how she just argued with Mother? Are you on her side or Mother's? Whose side are you really on?"
Liu glared angrily: "Of course I'm on Mother's side! You're just good at stirring up trouble, everyone in the family knows that!"
When Madam Shen saw that Shen Lanxi refused to back down, she felt embarrassed in front of so many outsiders!
Shen Lanxi didn't respect her grandmother at all. Back in the capital, she relied on the power of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor. After being exiled, she relied on the power of the escort. After that, she relied on power step by step.
Now her son has been reinstated, and her grandson holds an important position in the army. She no longer has an empress dowager to back her up, and the emperor is a million miles away; no one can help her!
"Shen Lanxi, how dare you!" The more Madam Shen thought about it, the more she felt that it was time to find someone to make amends for the grievances she had suffered along the way.
Her grandson will become a great general who quells rebellions, and even the Emperor will have to give her some respect.
Shen Lanxi coldly looked at her relatives, then waved her hand and a group of soldiers rushed in!
Madam Shen's expression changed, and she shouted angrily, "How dare you! My son is the Vice Minister of Revenue, and my grandson is the General Who Pacifies the Rebellion. Let's see who dares to touch me!"
Ban Sicao laughed out loud, showing no mercy.
"That old woman is really funny!"
Cheng Zheng and his companions smiled knowingly; they were a bunch of clueless fools who couldn't see the bigger picture. They were eager to see what would happen to them after the imperial edict arrived.
It's going to be amazing!
Shen Lanxi: "Take them back to the courtyard. Don't let them leave the courtyard until the war is over!"
The soldiers immediately obeyed the order to arrest the man.
Madam Shen felt both angry and ashamed, her face turning bright red.
"Shen Lanxi, I am your grandmother. Do you dare let anyone touch me? Aren't you afraid I'll accuse you of being disobedient and unfilial?"
Shen Lanxi remained unmoved. The soldiers had long been trained to be undisturbed by external forces, and even if she called herself Shen Lanxi's ancestor, they would not hear her.
The soldiers could only obey Shen Lanxi's orders!
After being held down by the soldiers, Old Madam Shen finally realized the truth. Shen Lanxi really dared to harm her!
"Shen Lanxi, you unfilial and disobedient thing, how dare you lay a hand on your grandmother! May you be struck by lightning and die a horrible death..." As the soldiers took Old Madam Shen away, her curses gradually subsided.
The Liu, Miao, and Tian families didn't want to be taken away by guards; it would be incredibly humiliating.
One by one, they covered half their faces in fear and followed behind Madam Shen as they left.
