It’s almost 7:00 PM.
Usually, at this ti of day, it’s already ti for dinner.
But today, Shen Han ca back late, and there’s a lot that the kitchen needs to prepare.
They’ve been busy ever since a while ago, and the whole banquet will still take so ti to be ready.
In the courtyard, Madam Yun continued talking about the Shen Family matters.
"There were many things I didn’t tell you during our voice transmissions.
These were small matters, but since we have ti today, I’ll share them with you, Han."
Madam Yun had a hint of a smile on her face, as if she found the matters concerning the Shen Family sowhat amusing.
"About a month ago, Shen Lingsheng ca looking for ."
Upon hearing that Shen Lingsheng had co, Shen Han couldn’t help but frown slightly.
"What did he co for?
Did he want to show off or make trouble again?"
Beside him, Madam Yun and Cailing couldn’t help but chuckle.
"Young Master Han couldn’t be more wrong. Third Master Shen doesn’t have any right to show off now.
He ca hoping that Madam would reconcile with him.
You should have seen how he acted back then, putting on a façade of deep affection."
Cailing spoke with evident joy on her face as she recounted this.
"Madam Yun, you didn’t..."
"Of course, there’s no way I would reconcile with him. Who does he think he is, that I, Yun Shuang, can’t live without him?
And just with one look, you could see he was faking it.
To put it plainly, he was just after our Yun Family’s Pill.
No matter how much he tried to pretend, Cailing and I just saw it as a joke~"
Hearing Madam Yun say this, Shen Han nodded in agreent.
The people of the Shen Family, all of them are driven by profit.
In their eyes, emotions are just tools to gain benefits.
"Ever since your strength has started to show more and more, Shen Family’s attitude has softened significantly.
We spent so money to find out so news from the Shen Family.
Now, Old Duke Shen has returned to personally manage the family’s affairs.
He’s completely lost faith in the Old Dowager and the others.
But according to those servants, Old Duke Shen actually wants to nd things with you, Han.
It’s just that the others seem to be very much against it."
Shen Han chuckled, "Let them oppose all they want. I had no intention to reconcile with the Shen Family anyway."
Madam Yun also nodded, "Yes, I figured as much. You definitely wouldn’t want to reconcile with them, Han.
After this, Shen Lingsheng and the Old Dowager of the Shen Family ca to Anyang City again.
Standing at our Yun Mansion entrance, that old hag was like a resentful woman, flinging insults everywhere.
All her words were slandering you, Han."
"Slandering ?"
Shen Han was taken aback, not quite understanding the aning behind it.
"Slandering about what? Accusing of ingratitude again?"
"The Old Dowager of the Shen Family accused you of trying to assassinate Shen Ye while you were studying in the capital.
She even said things like ’utterly heartless; trying to kill one’s elder brother goes against the heavens.’
Claiming that Shen Ye survived due to his great fortune. Whatever, she just kept praising Shen Ye and belittling you, Han.
Hearing that old hag’s voice is so annoying."
Shen Han was once again taken aback, "So that’s what it was about."
"Yes, Shen Ye made too many enemies himself and provoked an assassination, yet they bla it on soone else.
To put it bluntly, it’s really shaless!"
Madam Yun spat out an insult, and beside her, Cailing also showed a look of disdain.
However, hearing what they said, Shen Han couldn’t help but smile.
"There’s really no need to get angry about this...
After all, it was indeed I who attacked him.
Shen Ye had a protective Secret Treasure, which is how he managed to escape with his life.
Otherwise, he would at least be heavily injured, not as unhard as he is now."
Only in front of those closest to him would Shen Han reveal such things.
Madam Yun and Cailing in front of him were both taken aback after hearing this.
After a while, they barely regained their composure, "So... Han, was it you who did it?"
Madam Yun was still sowhat in disbelief.
"Yes, it was indeed ...
But to outsiders, I must deny it."
Shen Han’s words were understood by Madam Yun.
Revealing such things to outsiders would indeed cause significant problems.
It would truly be deed as attacking one’s elder brother, deed ruthless in temperant.
After a pause, Madam Yun seed to be contemplating how to respond.
"Even so, Shen Ye was asking for it himself.
His ntor, Luo Zuchen, is so arrogant, posing threats even to your safety, Han.
He deserves to be taught a lesson!"
For those who think of you in their hearts, no matter what, their words always lean in your favor.
Shen Han also smiled, feeling Madam Yun’s bias in his favor.
But following those words, Madam Yun’s face was filled with concern again.
"Han, Shen Ye is in the Fifth Grade Half-Step Realm.
Attacking him is likely dangerous; this was quite reckless, right..."
"That’s why it was an ambush.
If our strengths were comparable and the opportunity was right, I would have acted against him long ago."
Madam Yun was choked by his words, a bit helpless, "But it’s too dangerous, too reckless..."
"Precisely because it was reckless, Shen Ye and Luo Zuchen wouldn’t have expected it.
They never anticipated I’d ambush him.
And after this assassination attempt, he’ll be frightened, he’ll worry, he’ll be paranoid.
Though he wasn’t heavily injured, he won’t have an easy ti in the future."
To Madam Yun, she naturally hoped they’d receive retribution.
Especially soone like Luo Zuchen, who even harms Shen Han, should be eradicated entirely, without even leaving a trace.
Shen Han acted against them, and Madam Yun naturally had no objections.
However, the priority is still ensuring safety.
Outside the courtyard, a family servant ca to relay that the banquet was almost ready, inviting Madam Yun to head over soon.
Madam Yun nodded, seizing the remaining ti to quietly ask, "Han, have you and the Moon Bamboo Peak Master gotten any closer?"
Beside her, Cailing also drew closer, eager to hear.
Shen Han felt a bit helpless, already knowing...
"Next door at the Sun Mansion, they just welcod a chubby grandson.
Not to pressure you into marriage imdiately, but there should be so progress, right? You can’t keep it at just holding hands...
After all, just holding hands won’t give you babies..."
Madam Yun, usually so proper, seed to have hidden anings in her words.
"Madam Yun, why are you asking these things..."
"What, are Cailing and I outsiders, that we can’t ask even these?"
Shen Han could only sigh, "There is progress... Now, we’ve embraced..."
"That’s good, that’s good~ Tell us, tell us, how does it feel?"
"Madam Yun..."
"Alright, alright, I won’t ask anymore, I won’t ask anymore..."
Gossip is really enticing, especially when it’s about soone you care about.
After staying for about a quarter of an hour, the three of them proceeded to the banquet.
The scale of the banquet was indeed grand.
As lavish as a family feast at the end of the year.
