Chapter 415 Kiss (2)
At this moment, even Shen Wan, who was standing aside without saying anything, became ugly. Shen Miao's words meant that Shen Wan could not possibly get such a good reward based on his own ability. Shen Wan would never be able to reach the level that Shen Xin had once reached in his official career.
He frowned, glanced at Shen Miao coldly, and said to Chen Ruoqiu and Shen Yue, “Go back.” He left without even looking at Shen Miao again.
Since Shen Xin has left the capital and has confiscated his military power, there is no need to pretend the brotherhood they used to have. Shen Wan will never even look at anyone who has no use for him.
Shen Gui bowed to Shen Xin with a hint of pride, saying, "Big Brother, I'll leave first." He left with a touch of arrogance. Seeing this, Aunt Wan quickly pulled Shen Dongling along, her humble demeanor unchanged for decades, untouched by the events at Caiyun Garden.
Shen Gui is a man of great patience. He has climbed up the career ladder by flattering others. He is not as talented as his son Shen Yuan, nor as tough as Shen Wan in character. He is also ruthless and ungrateful. He forgets the hardships he has suffered as soon as he gets a little sweetness. So he is not to be feared.
But Shen Qiu was so angry that he said angrily: "Who are these people!"
Shen Miao smiled faintly, but didn't answer. Shen Wan and Chen Ruoqiu aside, regarding Shen Gui's branch, within two years, Shen Yuanbo would die of smallpox. Ren Wanyun had already given Shen Gui a sterilizing drug, and he would definitely never have children again. Even if he possessed wealth, power, and beautiful women, what good would it be if he didn't have someone to inherit the family fortune? The three unfilial acts were to have no descendants, and when that happened, Old Madam Shen would simply urge her two sons to quickly start new families. Did Chen Ruoqiu think she could rest easy?
Evil will be punished by evil. Just leave this mess to the Shen family and let them clean it up themselves.
…
When the news of Chen Xin's retreat to Xiaochun City reached the ears of Prince Ding Fu Xiuyi, Emperor Wenhui had already agreed.
At this point, Fu Xiuyi naturally couldn't say anything more. The more he spoke, the more suspicious he became. He was a little surprised by Shen Xin's sudden appearance. He had seen clearly that, over the years, although Shen Xin was a warrior on the surface, he was definitely not an impulsive person. Even if he was resentful about having his tiger talisman taken away, he would never have hurriedly submitted a memorial and left the capital the next day.
Fu Xiuyi couldn't help but think of what Chen Yuan had reminded him of before.
"My fifth sister, Your Highness, please do not underestimate her."
Fu Xiuyi hadn't taken this one sentence to heart at the time. But now, for some reason, at this moment, it resurfaced in his mind. Could it be that Shen Miao had instigated Shen Xin's sudden decision? But how could a spoiled young lady from Dingjing City take the initiative to go to a cold place like the northwest?
Fu Xiuyi sensitively sensed that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on what it was. He just felt that things shouldn't be developing this way.
The staff beside him asked, "Your Highness, are you worried about the matter of the mighty general? Although things have changed, the Shen family army has been disbanded, the tiger talisman has been taken back, and the mighty general is of little use. Your Highness can rest assured and make full use of his strength."
Fu Xiuyi retracted his wandering thoughts and responded calmly. Although Shen Xin was somewhat different from his plan, he was not an important chess piece. If he was an important chess piece, he could have been used when Shen Miao was in love with him. However, he didn't know what happened later, and that little bit of love disappeared, making him lose the opportunity to pull the Shen family into his boat.
But it was also a relief. If he really married Shen Miao, even with the Shen family's military strength, he would be ridiculed by everyone. Fu Xiuyi was extremely proud in his bones, so how could he allow himself to have such a stain? Now those assumptions were dispelled as the Shen Xin family was about to leave the capital. He said: "You should recruit some more people these days."
