Shen Yun hurriedly stepped forward and clasped his hands in a fist salute.
He has indeed been quite bored lately, but Higashiyama is some distance from Kyoto.
The journey is long and arduous; it will take at least a month to return.
He's never been one to sit still, but somehow...
After seeing the man who gave Ning Yin money last time, he felt inexplicably uneasy.
However, this feeling is only momentary and fleeting.
Since the Crown Prince values him so much, how could he possibly refuse?
The Crown Prince is the future emperor, and he must now make a good impression on the Crown Prince in order to maintain the glory of the General's Mansion.
He quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind and respectfully replied, "Your Highness, I was indeed born in Liuhe County near Dongshan. I know a great deal about the terrain and climate there. I am willing to lead troops there to quell the bandits."
After saying this, Shen Yun quickly knelt down to show his loyalty.
Xiao Xuan narrowed his eyes and smiled gently, naturally praising Shen Yun for his loyalty to the emperor and his country, which was worthy of emulation by others.
Seeing that Xiao Xuan had chosen him out of so many people, Shenzuo couldn't help but feel a little touched.
He was determined to perform well this time, show his prowess on the battlefield, and ensure the continued glory of the General's Mansion.
Upon leaving the Eastern Palace, Shen Yun was radiant.
Originally in a bad mood because of Ning Yin's matter, he was suddenly full of energy after being given this important task. As long as he returned in triumph this time, not to mention gold and silver jewelry, he would definitely be promoted and ennobled.
Ning Yin will probably only regret her decision and come back crying to beg for forgiveness.
As Shen Yun passed by the gate of Jingtai Palace, he was suddenly stopped by a young eunuch.
The young eunuch first bowed to him, then leaned close to his ear and whispered something.
Jingtai Palace is the residence of the Second Prince. Just now, the little eunuch whispered to Shen Yun that he was acting on the Second Prince's orders to invite Shen Yun to a private meeting.
Shen Yun knew perfectly well what the Second Prince was up to; he probably wanted to win him over.
In the imperial court today, Xiao Xuan is recognized as the future emperor, and his abilities are evident to all.
Even if you're incredibly stupid, you still know whose side to stand on.
Shen Yun watched as the eunuch continued to persuade him, then suddenly chuckled: "Please go back and tell the Second Prince that I have military duties to attend to and am unable to go."
Upon hearing this, the young eunuch's expression darkened. He hadn't realized before that Shen Yun was so ungrateful.
His lips twitched, and he forced a smile: "In that case, I won't bother the general any longer."
The young eunuch flicked his whisk, turned, and left.
When Shen Yun returned to his residence, he saw Yang Shuhuan in the courtyard instructing the servants to trim the flowers and plants.
A light gauze dress made the woman's graceful figure appear and disappear.
He suddenly remembered that when Ning Yin was in the manor before, he had caught a glimpse of her and her beauty seemed otherworldly.
At that time, he was only focused on fame and fortune, and he had indeed neglected her for too long.
However, this was a last resort.
Now that it's a different person, Shen Yun always thinks of the old ones.
Lost in thought, Wang stood behind him, watching with a look of satisfaction. Shen Yun had finally come to his senses.
It seems that marrying Yang Shuhuan is only a matter of time.
At lunchtime, Yang Shuhuan also served everyone food attentively.
"Auntie, this sweet and sour pork ribs are stewed until they are tender and just the right consistency. Please try it."
Yang Shuhuan placed a piece of spare rib on Wang's plate and then glanced at Shen Yun across from her.
"Brother Yun, try this jade fish soup. It's incredibly delicious. Jia'er, you should try some too."
As she spoke, she made a move to get up and serve soup to Shen Yun.
Shen Yun squinted as he watched Yang Shuhuan stir the fish soup, which was filled with bits of chopped onion.
His brows furrowed slightly. "No need, I'll eat something else first."
Yang Shuhuan paused for a moment after being rejected, her expression momentarily unnatural.
But she quickly forced a smile and said, "Then Brother Yun, try some other dishes. Every single one is one you like."
Shen Yun remained unmoved, his expression indifferent.
He seems to have eaten with Ning Yin more times than he has eaten with Yang Shuhuan in total.
But on those few occasions, he would only eat a couple of bites before leaving Ning Yin to practice martial arts alone.
Looking back now, every single dish Ning Yin ordered the small kitchen to prepare was her favorite.
Ningyin knew that he had no patience for eating fish but still liked it, so she would always remove the fish bones and put them in her own bowl.
She's so thoughtful and considerate, why didn't I notice that before?
He thought to himself that once he returned from this bandit suppression operation, he would find a way to bring the people back.
That so-called Young Master Li is probably just an ordinary patient.
No matter how rich an ordinary person is, they can't compare to the general's mansion.
Compared to this, he suddenly felt much better.
After finishing his meal, Shen Yun told everyone that the Crown Prince had specially appointed him to suppress bandits in Dongshan.
Lady Wang was pleased that the Crown Prince valued her son.
With that bitch Ning Yin gone, the General's Mansion is indeed thriving.
At this moment, she could already picture Yang Shuhuan giving birth to a big, healthy grandson for her.
Seeing that everyone was happy for him, Shen Yun turned to Shen Jia and gave her some instructions.
"This bandit suppression will probably take more than a month, Jia'er, Mother, you must take good care of her."
"I understand, brother. I will take good care of mother. Sister Shuhuan is here too, so you can rest assured about things at home."
Shen Jia lowered her head and ate the fish soup in her bowl with great satisfaction.
After finishing a bowl of soup, Shen Jia couldn't help but give Yang Shuhuan a thumbs up.
"Sister Shuhuan is amazing, much better than Ningyin before. I really like all these dishes."
