"The Wu'an Marquisate has been loyal and brave for generations. Since the time of the late emperor, they have accompanied us in our wars. Does the current emperor really want to wipe out all of our Wu'an Marquisate?" Shen Junxing's eyes were filled with resentment.

My grandfather and several uncles died on the battlefield for the sake of the great prosperity of the country.

Even though his father had made great military achievements, the emperor sat firmly on the throne, but began to tolerate the ministers who had helped him to build the country in the past.

The Wu'an Marquisate was a title earned by the ancestors through generations of military merit. How was the Shen Family inferior to those dignitaries in the capital who lived off their husbands?

He admitted that he was a little ambitious and wanted to climb to a higher position. Which official has not been like this since ancient times?

However, at this critical moment, my father proposed to resign and return to the countryside. He felt that all his efforts over the years were like a huge joke.

"Okay, be careful with your words! I don't think you are fit to go to court in this state. Go take a few days off and reflect on yourself at home."

Seeing his son's obsessed look made old Lord Shen feel cold at heart.

Old Madam Shen, who had just received the news, rushed over from the backyard, but before she could say anything, Old Marquis Shen turned around and left.

"What exactly happened? Ye'er, tell me..." Old Madam Shen didn't dare to get angry at Old Marquis Shen, so she could only get angry at Shen Junye.

"Ye'er, he has been traveling with me for more than a month, and as a mother, you have never asked about his health. Instead, you have been paying attention to trivial matters. Is this the reaction you should have as a mother?"

Old Lord Shen stopped, turned around and stared at Old Madam Shen, his face full of coldness.

"I, I just..." Old Madam Shen knew she was in the wrong and her face turned red.

Since the old marquis came in, she really hadn't asked a single question about her son's health. Wasn't it because she was confused by the things that happened before and forgot about it for a while?

"Ye'er, go back to your room and rest." Old Marquis Shen asked Shen Junye to go back to his room. Old Madam Shen naturally didn't dare to stop him and could only be angry inwardly.

The father and son had just returned to the capital and stayed in the palace for nearly two hours. Before they had time to rest, someone else came to the palace.

Shen Junxing thought back to what Eunuch De had just said, and his face turned pale.

Like Old Madam Shen, he never asked a single question about his father and second brother. His attention was entirely focused on the fact that his father had handed over the tiger talisman and resigned from his official position.

Lord Shen and his son were really tired. They didn't even get up to eat dinner and slept until the next morning.

When Old Marquis Shen woke up in the morning, he vomited blood again. Except for the brothers Shen Junye and Shen Junling, Old Madam Shen and Shen Junxing knew nothing about it.

Yesterday, Shen Junxing listened to the words of old Marquis Shen and went back to the Ministry of Personnel to ask for a few days of leave. After returning, he spontaneously went to the ancestral hall to kneel and reflect.

Old Lord Shen and Shen Junye had breakfast in Shen Junling's yard, and Old Madam Shen was secretly dissatisfied with this.

After what happened yesterday, she didn't dare to say anything.

Old Madam Shen watched helplessly as Mr. Shen and his sons and their two companions left the house after breakfast without even informing her. She could only sulk alone.

Old Marquis Shen, Shen Junye, and Shen Junling, father and son, got on an unmarked carriage and headed straight for a secluded courtyard in the capital.

The closer they got to the house where Shen Ruyi lived, the heavier the mood became for old Marquis Shen.

To be exact, the last time I saw my daughter was the fifth year after Ruyi returned to Beijing.

In the blink of an eye, six years had passed since they last saw each other. Thinking back on the suffering Shen Ruyi had endured over the years, this seven-foot-tall man couldn't help but have tears in his eyes.

As soon as the carriage stopped in front of the house, the door creaked open from the inside.

Shen Ruyi looked at Lord Shen and Shen Junye who appeared before her, and tears instantly welled up in her eyes.

"Father, second brother..." Shen Ruyi choked up and was about to kneel down, but was helped up by Lord Shen and Shen Junye.

"Don't stay here, go in first." Shen Junling pushed a few people and turned around to close the door.

"Ruyi, it's all father's fault. I was careless. I made you suffer," Old Marquis Shen, who stepped into the yard, could no longer bear it and pulled his daughter into his arms.

He never concealed his preference for Shen Ruyi, and looking at his skinny daughter in front of him, at this moment, the saying that a son should avoid his mother or a daughter should avoid her father did not exist in the eyes of this rough man.

Old Lord Shen couldn't stop his tears from flowing.

Although the second brother Shen Junye was more restrained, tears welled up in his eyes.

After the father and daughter hugged each other and cried bitterly, Shen Ruyi withdrew from the arms of Old Marquis Shen. She looked at her father and second brother carefully, her eyes reddened.

"Father, second brother, have you been okay these years? I am not suffering, but you and second brother are. You have been in that bitter cold place for such a long time. I see that you both look unwell. Are you injured?"

"Dad is fine. He is so strong that he can kill ten or eight enemies in one breath. Ye'er, dance for your sister and let her see." Old Marquis Shen raised his sleeves and wiped away his tears.

In order to reassure Shen Ruyi, he jumped twice to restore himself to the spot, and did not forget to give orders to Shen Junye.

"You just watch, right? Father, I'm in good health. Ye'er, just dance..." Old Marquis Shen glared at Shen Junye.

Shen Junye held back his laughter and coughed lightly, signaling with his eyes that Old Marquis Shen should look back.

When Old Lord Shen turned around, he saw the Qin family members with different expressions.

The unfinished words suddenly got stuck in my throat.

He awkwardly retracted his jumping posture, staring straight at the Qin family's grandparents and grandchildren, and the expression on his face became visibly excited.

"They look alike, exactly alike. It's obvious at first glance that this is Ruyi's child." Old Marquis Shen muttered to himself.

"I guess this is your relative. I'm Shen Weishan. Thank you for taking care of my family Ruyi back then. Please accept my greetings." After saying this, Old Marquis Shen bowed deeply to Old Lady Qin.

Shen Junye and Shen Junling were younger, so they knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times to Old Lady Qin.

After Qin Ruo and Shen Ruzhi met, they went back and told the matter to Old Lady Qin and others.

After all, Shen Ruyi was the one who had once called her mother. When Old Lady Qin heard about what happened to Shen Ruyi, she sighed and cried like crazy.

The brothers Qin Ziyan and Qin Zimu knew that their mother had no choice at the time, and the resentment in their hearts had almost disappeared.

Last night, Shen Junling quietly came to the Princess's Mansion and conveyed the intention of the old Marquis Shen, asking whether the people of the Qin family were willing to meet the old Marquis Shen and the second brother. Qin Ruo agreed to it.

Although there had been some unpleasantness between Madam Shen and Shen Junxing, Qin Ruo still respected the old Marquis Shen and his son from the bottom of her heart, whom even Madam Xie praised highly when she mentioned them.

This is also the reason why the Qin family appears here today.

"Don't, don't do this... You can't do that! Get up quickly." Old Mrs. Qin was startled. She wanted to go forward to help but then she remembered the difference between men and women. She could only helplessly turn her gaze to Qin Ruo, Qin Ziyan and the others.

The scene where Lord Shen and Shen Ruzhi met just now was so sentimental that it still makes her nose sour.
