Chapter 450 For the Great Yu
Madam Shen remained silent, and Shangguan Jin was also at a loss for words.
Shen Huaichen felt bad looking at the children.
Shen Qingyue and Shen Qingjun were a little better off, as they found out earlier.
The remaining children had absolutely no idea.
Everyone in the mansion knew that on the anniversary of his death, the children would eat vegetarian food or go to offer incense...
Now that he's appeared before everyone unharmed, it's indeed a bit hard to say...
"That... Father was also doing it for Dayu!" Shen Huaichen could only utter these few words.
Shangguan Jin...
They really know how to make a big deal out of nothing!
"Father, we know that you did all this for Dayu, for this battle between Dayu and the Northern Hu!" Shen Qingjun said excitedly.
The other children nodded vigorously as well.
Even the newlywed son-in-law, Lian Qianli, thought so.
His father-in-law hoped that one day Dayu could get rid of the Northern Hu, a major threat to Dayu.
They endured humiliation and hardship, living in anonymity and working diligently in the border town.
This departure lasted for nearly ten years.
Far from home, only in the dead of night can I think of my wife, children, and elderly mother...
Lian Qianli suddenly realized that he had another source of material.
Shouldn't such heroic deeds be publicized?
Lian Qianli had made up his mind that after finishing his autobiography, he would start writing the story of his father-in-law.
No, it should be a collection of stories about the entire Duke Dingguo's mansion.
A far-sighted lady, a reasonable old woman, and ambitious, intelligent, and capable young ladies who are just as capable as any man...
Lian Qianli felt he had too much to write...
Shen Qingming and the others were thinking about those four words their father had said: "For the sake of Da Yu..."
Thinking of how their father had left his hometown for so many years for these four words, the children all had tears in their eyes.
"I didn't tell you at the time because I was considering the bigger picture."
Even your mother only found out later.
I hope you won't blame your father.
"You've all suffered so much these past years!" Shen Huaichen sighed.
Upon hearing this, the children of the Shen family quickly waved their hands, indicating that they were not tired at all.
If we're talking about who works the hardest in the family, it's definitely the mother.
"After Shen Zhong relayed your message, Mother single-handedly held the family together," Shen Qingming quickly said.
“Mother has to take care of things outside and things at home. She works the hardest!” Shen Qingrui quickly added.
“Yes! Mother protects us like a mother hen.” Shen Qingyu chimed in, not wanting to be outdone.
Shangguan Jin, who was initially a little embarrassed...
Madam Shen also had a loving expression on her face.
They talked about how difficult things were for Shangguan Jin, and how much she sacrificed for her family...
Shen Huaichen also looked at Shangguan Jin with deep affection in his eyes.
"You've worked hard, Madam!"
Shangguan Jin...
Without making a sound, Shangguan Jin shook off the goosebumps all over her body and immediately put on a polite smile.
"Actually... I didn't do anything! It was all what I should have done."
Shen Huaichen wanted to express his gratitude again, but Shen Qingyue spoke up instead.
"Father, should we announce your return?"
Or is it just a matter for a few of us to know?
Everyone was taken aback.
Yes, is the news going to be announced?
It wouldn't be a bad thing to announce it, since Emperor Xiao Jing is no longer alive anyway.
How these things are phrased is entirely up to Shen Huaichen...
Shen Huaichen thought for a moment, then shook his head.
“Outside, I’m already a dead man, so let’s keep the status quo.”
After all, I also have another identity: a strategist in the border city.
"Some things are better left unsaid, to avoid any further trouble in the border city," Shen Huaichen said.
Everyone agreed that it made sense.
"It's a bit of a pity! I was hoping my father would take me to the horse race!" Shen Qingyu said with a hint of regret.
"You're now capable of wielding a long spear and fighting enemies on horseback."
"Your equestrian skills are already very good, not much worse than your father's," Shen Huaichen said with a smile.
Shen Qingyu was a little smug.
"Did Father see my heroic figure fighting the enemy on horseback?" Shen Qingyu asked.
"Of course I saw it! You swept across the area with a long spear. The people of the border city call you the Jade-Faced Little General!" Shen Huaichen joked.
Shen Qingyu became increasingly smug.
Even a father can praise himself now.
"Then... could you talk to Lord Changsheng and ask if I could also be stationed in the North more often?" Shen Qingyu began to whine.
“I’m not in charge of military affairs now, so this matter isn’t up to me,” Shen Huaichen immediately refused.
Shen Qingyu was only depressed for a short while before quickly regaining her fighting spirit.
It's alright, at worst we can go to the palace and plead with the Empress.
Chang Sheng Gong is the Empress's biological father, so he will definitely give her face.
"Father! Should we tell His Majesty about your matter?" Shen Qingyue asked from the side.
Everyone looked at Shen Huaichen.
Shen Huaichen nodded.
"Say it! You have to say it! To avoid trouble later!"
As for the reason! It's still those four words: for the sake of Chongqing!
