Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Shen Wan was a scholar to begin with. He pretended to be upright, as if he was the only righteous person in the world. However, Shen Xin did not fall for this. If it were in the past, he would probably think that this was a misunderstanding. After all, they had raised Shen Miao well for so many years, and she was even willing to be close to them. However, after what happened today, he felt that these people were just greedy people.

Therefore, under Shen Gui and Shen Wan’s shocked gazes, Shen Xin cursed, “Bullsh*t! Do you think I’m easy to fool? I handed Jiaojiao to you, but you want to kill her, lock her in the ancestral hall, and force her to marry. Shen Gui, Shen Wan, don’t think that just because I’m not in the capital, you can bully my daughter. When Jiaojiao wakes up, we’ll see!”

Shen Gui and Shen Wan were dumbfounded. Although Shen Xin was a rough general, he had always restrained his rough temper in front of them for so many years. For a second, Shen Gui and Shen Wan didn’t know what to say.

In fact, Shen Xin was also extremely angry. When he saw his daughter in the sea of fire, his heart was filled with anger and pain. Later, what Shen Miao said before she fainted became the last straw that broke the camel’s back. The less she said, the more people would dwell on it. It even made Shen Xin imagine what kind of life Shen Miao was living in the Shen family. The more he thought about it, the more he hated his two brothers. If possible, Shen Xin wanted to draw his sword and kill these two animals!

“Shut up!” A furious shout came from behind. Everyone turned around and saw Old Madam Shen coming over, held by her two maids.

Old Madam Shen was so angry that she almost fainted. She had always cared about her reputation the most in her life, but today, she made a fool of herself in front of the most famous people in the capital. The guests saw how Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan were accusing her with their own eyes, so they left in a hurry. At this moment, all the guests had left, so she rushed over to condemn them. Unexpectedly, she saw Shen Xin questioning Shen Gui and Shen Wan, so she naturally spoke without hesitation.

Shen Qiu turned around and saw Old Madam Shen. When Shen Yuan was around, Old Madam Shen favored him. Everyone said that it was because Old Madam Shen did not like to fight and kill. Shen Yuan was a civil servant, so Old Madam Shen favored him. However, Shen Qiu did not like to be close to Old Madam Shen. Later, when he came back less often, he became even more distant with her.

This time, knowing that after Shen Miao was in trouble, the banquet still went on as usual, Shen Qiu was furious. Without seeking justice for his sister, he couldn’t take it lying down.

Old Madam Shen glanced at Shen Qiu and then at Shen Xin. In the end, she put on airs and said, “Shen Xin, what are you doing? Are you putting on airs as a general in my Shen family?”

When Old Madam Shen was young, she was a singer. She was still gentle and virtuous on the surface, but behind the scene, she had a lot of dirty tricks up her sleeve. Before Old General Shen died, he told Shen Xin that Shen Gui and Shen Wan were civil servants, and only Shen Xin had inherited his position as a general. He wanted Shen Xin to support his two younger brothers and make sure the family was harmonious. When Old General Shen was alive, he had a deep relationship with Shen Xin. Therefore, over the years, Shen Xin’s respect for Old Madam Shen had not changed at all.
