Chapter 260: Chapter 259: To Think Our Shen Family Has Such Fools

Less than half a day, and Shen Mansion in Yun’an City already received the news.

The second son of Shen Family, Shen Lingyong, has actually been arrested by Jingzhao Mansion...

Previously, he spoke so casually, as if a few slaps would be able to handle Shen Han.

But in less than five days in the Capital City, he was directly imprisoned by Jingzhao Mansion.

In the Capital City, Shen Family has quite a few spies.

Soon, the entire story was uncovered.

Hearing the report from the Sound Transmission Magical Artifact, Shen Qingshan slammed the table beside him in anger.

"Stupid, utterly stupid!

How could an old man have such a foolish son!"

Shen Qingshan was furious, feeling even angrier than the day he learned of Shen Han’s talent.

"And you, as a mother, have not an ounce of wisdom in your heart.

You said you’d help him slap Shen Han twice, now look what happened.

No slap delivered, and you ended up throwing yourself into prison!"

Shen Qingshan now had a headache.

Initially seeing Shen Lingyong’s confident demeanor, he thought he had some excellent plan, able to easily deal with Shen Han.

Now it seems, he has no plan at all!

Shen Qingshan’s gaze shifted to Shen Lingsheng, previously he didn’t think much of this third son.

Always feeling that Shen Lingsheng wasn’t as decisive as the eldest and second.

But today, he felt this third son was commendable for being more stable.

Beside him, Madam Shen’s face was displeased, contemplating for a while before speaking.

"Master, you must save the second son.

It’s Shen Han, the disgraceful descendant, who schemed against his elder; you shouldn’t rebuke the second son alone...

After all, he can’t know that Shen Han would be so vile, even accusing his family elder."

Madam Shen’s plea did not appease Shen Qingshan.

Instead, he directly gave her a disdainful look.

"As the elder managing the family in Yun’an City for so many years, do you know even a little about Shen Han?

Do you truly believe every time Shen Han sees us, he observes rituals because of respect?"

Though Shen Qingshan hasn’t interacted much with Shen Han, he’s gained some understanding of him.

This junior in the family, every step is planned.

"What so-called ritual is merely a tool for that ingrate.

In front of us, he tirelessly follows protocols, merely to use rituals to shield himself.

Giving you no reason to get angry or take action."

In fact, Shen Qingshan’s assessment is not accurate; Shen Han indeed shows respect through rituals to certain individuals.

But not to the Shen Family.’

Shen Qingshan looked at Madam Shen, his expression still harsh.

"Think it over, hasn’t Great Wei’s rituals protected him many times?

The second son thought being harsh, making quick moves would be enough to control Shen Han.

Yet he’s completely unaware of Shen Han’s methods.

In public, he dared to speak nonsense, disregarding rituals! Truly stupid!

At this moment, that ingrate Shen Han probably has a smile on his face.

Laughing at how stupid our Shen family members are!"

This is not the first, nor last time Shen Qingshan scolded Shen Lingyong.

Disregarding rituals, being a general, even daring to speak recklessly on loyalty to the emperor in public.

Shen Qingshan has a headache now, this matter is serious yet trivial.

However, at this stage, it will definitely be taken to a high level by the Imperial Family.

Once upon a time, when Shen Han married Su Jinyu, the Imperial Family actually wanted Shen Qingshan to plead with the Imperial Family.

In the end, it was Su Family who took the blame.

This idea of Shen Lingyong has brought trouble upon Shen Family.

"You’ll see, mistaken a talented junior will bring troubles to the family.

We will gradually feel it over the years."

Shen Qingshan’s face was stern, through a series of events, Shen Qingshan felt his understanding of Shen Han had become comprehensive.

The Shen Family’s Madam used to describe Shen Han as lacking talent, and unlikable in speech.

Shen Qingshan already sees it clearly.

This grandson, amongst so many juniors in Shen Family.

Has the most schemes, the most depth.

Had the Shen Family’s upper echelon not treated him poorly, even wanting to sacrifice him for a reason to annul the marriage.

Perhaps Shen Han representing Shen Family in political affairs would be a great decision.

But now it appears, this junior will use all means against Shen Family.

Additionally, Shen Han’s skills are gradually growing, his status is also rising.

The resources he can control, the connections he has will increase more and more.

By then, just dealing with the troubles Shen Han brings will be enough of a headache for Shen Family. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

...

Without wasting much time, Shen Qingshan knew he must go to the Capital City.

Leading his deputy general, Shen Qingshan set out on horseback towards the Capital City.

There is still some distance between Yun’an City and the Capital City, taking a day and a half to finally enter the city.

With his position as a Second-Grade General, Shen Qingshan received some preferential treatment.

Went to the prison to see Shen Lingyong.

Once Shen Qingshan saw him, he immediately went up to slap Shen Lingyong.

"I thought you truly had some trick, but you ended up putting yourself in prison.

Your mindset is not as mature as Shen Han’s.

Daring to spew reckless words in public, do you not know this is the Capital City!"

Shen Lingyong was stunned by the slap, the fierce words he wanted to say swallowed back down.

"Just wait, see what enormous price we’ll pay this time."

Shen Qingshan didn’t speak much with him.

This matter has surely reached His Holiness.

At 5:00 PM, Shen Qingshan finally entered the palace to meet the Great Wei Emperor.

They conversed for several hours.

In the end, the punishment from the Imperial Family was considered lenient.

Disrespecting rituals, even speaking carelessly about loyalty to the emperor, can be deemed a serious offense.

But in the end, it was just stripping Shen Lingyong of his general position, banning him from the barracks, and forbidding him from leaving Shen Mansion for three years.

Released Shen Lingyong from prison, then prepared to head back to Yun’an City.

As they left, Shen Han specifically came to see them off.

In his actions and words, he continued to express he acted in righteousness, for Shen Family’s future, to personally accuse Shen Lingyong.

Sitting in the carriage, Shen Lingyong clenched his fists, even wanting to take action at that moment.

But the next moment, Shen Qingshan grabbed his wrist.

"Father, if this ingrate dares to plot against me this time, next time, it might just be you."

Standing not far away, Shen Han immediately responded.

"Uncle’s words make no sense, Old Duke is loyal to the emperor, devoted to Great Wei.

How would a junior like me ever harm him.

If I were to harm, it would be those heartlessly disloyal."

Hearing these righteous words, Shen Lingyong was furious.

But after the lesson this time, he dared not argue rashly.

Shen Qingshan took a deep breath, waved his hand, said nothing, and only asked Shen Han to return.

The carriage headed towards the city gate.

"Currently Shen Han is highly regarded in Tianyi Academy, he has many ways to handle you.

Even directly asking Dean Tianyi for help would be enough to drive you away.

But he chose this way, which has the greatest impact on Shen Family....."
