Cultivating Immortality Begins with Selling Oneself

Chapter 186 Kowtow
"However, how did my sister-in-law guess that the refugees were coming for me?"

Shen Yingjun was very curious about this, as Haiqing City and Qinchuan City were far apart.

No one would connect the two together, right? But Mrs. Shen was able to guess it.

Mrs. Shen smiled and did not answer Shen Yingjun's question. Instead, she changed the subject.

"His Majesty has given you full responsibility for the refugee issue. Does Yingjun have any good solutions?"

The second master of the Shen family looked distressed, "Sister-in-law, let's talk about this matter later. I have a severe headache now. I want to rest for a while before dealing with it."

Mrs. Shen nodded, and considering that Shen Yingjun had rushed back exhausted, she did not rush Shen Yingjun to come up with a set of rules.

Shen Fuyu and the Shen sisters stood obediently behind the lady and did not get involved in the matter.

However, Shen Yingjun spoke immediately when he saw the Shen sisters.

"Shen Mengwu, Shen Mengning, thanks to your kindness in providing porridge to the refugees, it would have been difficult for Second Uncle to extricate himself from this matter."

In ancient times, large families shared the same fate, and shared the same suffering.

What the Shen sisters did also indirectly represented that Shen Yingjun was just like that, which was why His Majesty was able to show mercy and let Shen Yingjun go easily.

If the refugees are not controlled in time, riots may break out.

Shen Yingjun’s official position will definitely be in danger.

“Second Uncle, we didn’t think too much about it, we just did our best.”

Shen Mengning spoke politely and protected Shen Mengwu behind her without making a sound. After all, Shen Mengwu spoke without thinking.

Shen Yingjun never expressed his opinion on the matter of Shen Mengyan and Second Mrs. Shen.

Before she knew Shen Yingjun's attitude, Mrs. Shen had to be on guard.

The head of the Shen family noticed the subtle atmosphere and was about to speak.

Unexpectedly, Shen Yingjun bowed to the Shen sisters with a guilty tone.

"A Ning A Wu, I'm sorry."

"It was because Second Uncle failed to take good care of Shen Mengyan that she did this."

Shen Yingjun rubbed his eyebrows with a headache. The reason why he did not express his opinion on this matter at the first time was because the refugee issue made Shen Yingjun exhausted.

Not only do I not have the time to deal with this matter, I don’t even have the energy.

Now that he had met the Shen sisters, Shen Yingjun was overwhelmed by deep guilt.

The head of the Shen family looked at Shen Yingjun's sincere expression, breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart fell back to where it was.

Originally, the head of the Shen family was worried that the relationship between Shen Yingjun and Mrs. Shen would deteriorate.

fortunately……

"Second uncle, don't do this." Shen Mengwu and Shen Mengning were surprised and dodged quickly.

"Second uncle, as an elder, how can you..." Shen Mengning hesitated to speak.

It will shorten the lifespan of elders to show respect to younger generations.

Mrs. Shen's face changed, and she immediately protected the Shen sisters behind her. Her originally kind expression suddenly turned fierce, and she glared at him, "Shen Yingjun, what do you mean by this? If you have any dissatisfaction, you can come to me. There is no need to treat two children like this."

In order to consider the overall situation, Mrs. Shen can tolerate some grievances.

However, things are different when it comes to the Shen sisters.

"Look at my brain."

Shen Yingjun slapped his head and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry. I was so tired that I couldn't think straight for a while."

Shen Fuyu looked at Shen Yingjun and always felt that the second master of the Shen family was weird.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion.

Then, Shen Yingjun rummaged through the package and said, "A Ning and A Wu, your uncle brought you some gifts."

"Mengyan has been corrupted by Jiang Yun. I will definitely teach her a lesson." Shen Yingjun muttered and took out a string of crystals from his bag. Looking at the crystal bracelets, even the Shen sisters who didn't like dressing up were unconsciously attracted to them. The exquisite workmanship was ingenious.

"It's even more beautiful than the crystal Murong Yue showed off before!"

“There’s not a single flaw in the bead.”

The Shen sisters watched carefully as the chain was collected.

"Awu, your second uncle brought this specially for you." Shen Yingjun took out a long red whip from his bag.

Compared with Shen Mengwu's previous whip, it is more exquisite.

"Awu, this whip that my second uncle got by chance. If you flip the switch, barbs will appear."

Shen Mengwu's eyes lit up instantly, and she fumbled around bit by bit according to the instructions of the second master of the Shen family.

"Thank you, Uncle! I like this gift very much."

Shen Mengwu held the whip in her arms and smiled with her eyes curved. Her long whip was destroyed during the fight with Murong Yue.

She had been thinking about having a whip custom made.

As for weapons, Shen Mengwu is better at using whips.

Shen Mengwu held the long whip and couldn't let go of the gift.

"The Second Master seems to be running away all the time."

Shen Fuyu walked to Mrs. Shen's side and spoke in a low voice.

Mrs. Shen nodded, and also noticed that Shen Yingjun kept silent about what Jiang Yun had done.

"Shen Yingjun, what about Jiang Yun putting a curse on the clan leader?" Mrs. Shen stared at him with sharp eyes, insisting on an answer from him.

Shen Yingjun's body stiffened slightly. Sensing Mrs. Shen's burning gaze, he was even a little afraid to look back.

Shen Mengning frowned, looking at the change in Shen Yingjun's expression, feeling a little confused.

why?

Second Uncle has always been decisive and brave, but why did he become timid after staying in Haiqing City for a while?

Shen Fuyu frowned, somewhat confused by the complicated performance of the Second Master of the Shen Family.

The head of the Shen family also looked serious, and his back straightened unconsciously, "Handsome..."

Jiang Yun has been imprisoned in the Shen family dungeon. She was simply imprisoned without any punishment, just waiting for the second master of the Shen family to come back and make a decision.

I thought the second master of the Shen family was a man of his own ideas and would handle this matter fairly.

Now the head of the Shen family is also a little uncertain.

Shen Yingjun had his back to them, and his frail figure looked as if he had been weathered by wind and frost.

Mrs. Shen was a little annoyed and raised her hand to rub her brow. "Shen Yingjun, what exactly do you mean? You were not like this before you left the Shen family! What happened to make you so indecisive? How to deal with Jiang Yun is not up to you alone. The entire Shen family needs to discuss it together."

"After all, Jiang Yun has been putting a curse on the clan leader for ten years! This is enough to prove that Jiang Yun has had ill intentions for a long time. Shen Yingjun, let me be frank. If you want to protect Jiang Yun, I will disown you on behalf of the clan leader!"

Mrs. Shen was tearful with every word she spoke. She rushed back to Qinchuan City overnight not only for the refugee issue, but also to discuss how to deal with Jiang Yun.

Jiang Yun had stayed in the dungeon for too long, and Mrs. Shen was afraid that something might happen if she continued to delay.

"Cough cough cough..." Mrs. Shen coughed a few times, and her body became even more shaky.

Shen Fuyu supported Mrs. Shen in time.

"Madam, your health is more important."

The girls and the Shen sisters were young and did not feel tired even after traveling all night, but Mrs. Shen was different.

"Clap!"

Shen Yingjun turned around, knelt down without saying a word, and kowtowed to the head of the Shen family.
