Chapter 551: Chapter 544: Shen Han’s Return, News Spreads

The Shen Family, still having their vegetarian meal, was shocked by Shen Qingshan’s words.

"Master, two years ago, that unfilial son Shen Han was already dead.

The one who dealt with him was Luo Zuchen."

As she spoke, Madam He turned her head to look at her son.

"Ye’Er, you must have contacted Mr. Luo.

You know the outcome from back then."

Everyone’s gaze turned to Shen Ye.

Upon hearing this, Shen Ye’s expression was solemn.

"Mr. Luo had already laid out a trap on every route back then.

But somehow Shen Han noticed something, and instead of fleeing towards Anyang City, he suddenly went south.

In the midst, I was ambushed by his poison sword, injuring this leg of mine.

In taking care of me, Mr. Luo wasted some time.

Later, Mr. Luo still went after him and told me he saw with his own eyes, Shen Han walking into the Land of the Far South.

Moreover, during these two years, Mr. Luo often waited outside the Land of the Far South.

If he isn’t dead, wouldn’t it mean he’s been in the Land of the Far South for two years?"

In response to this, Shen Ye was also slightly in disbelief.

But Shen Qingshan was extremely certain.

"Shen Han is now in Anyang City, and today, the Yun Family even openly held a banquet to celebrate Shen Han’s return.

If you have acquaintances in Anyang City, you may as well ask around.

You can also wait a couple of days; the news should spread throughout Great Wei by then."

Shen Qingshan’s face was cold, and as he mentioned Shen Han, he felt his mood worsen considerably.

"If that unfilial son is still alive, he should return to the Shen Family.

To ungratefully run to the Yun Family, could it be that the Yun Family is actually his home?"

Beside him, Shen Lingyong, the second uncle of the Shen Family, harshly scolded.

Upon hearing this, Madam He also echoed: "He’s been ungrateful for quite some time now, that unfilial son, when has he ever appreciated the Shen Family’s sacrifices?"

A group of people chattered about Shen Han’s faults.

It seemed as if Shen Han was truly heartless, repaying kindness with enmity.

But in reality, what kind of favor did Shen Han actually receive from them?

Even to have some food, he had to work for it himself.

To repay kindness, there must be kindness in the first place, should there not?

Sitting next to Shen Qingshan, Madam Shen’s face was the ugliest.

The Old Dowager had always disliked Shen Han and had treated him poorly in the past.

Because of Shen Han, how many times had she been scolded?

Every outstanding performance by Shen Han always led to another round of scolding for Madam Shen.

Thinking that Shen Han was dead, Madam Shen felt her breaths had become much smoother.

But today, it was said Shen Han had not died and had even returned...

"Oh heavens, why do you turn a blind eye, keeping such a calamity in the world...

Every festival, I haven’t missed giving a single courtesy.

Why does it always have to be our Shen Family facing such dissatisfaction."

Madam Shen’s words were filled with disappointment.

Dead for two years, yet even capable of coming back to life.

"A good person dies young, while a calamity lasts a thousand years.

If your mother had been more ruthless in the early years, such a situation wouldn’t have occurred."

Shen Lingyong frowned, speaking with regret.

Yet he did not consider, was it because Madam Shen wasn’t ruthless enough?

No, it was because of the fear of impacting the reputation of the Shen Family, and Shen Han had Yun Shuang, the stepmother, protecting him.

It wasn’t because they weren’t ruthless enough.

Seeing everyone with sullen faces, Shen Qingshan paused and then spoke sternly.

"Meeting troubles and only complaining and blaming, finding a solution is fundamental.

This unfilial son now likely harbors deeper resentment towards our Shen Family, and probably won’t regard kinship in the slightest.

During these two years, if no accidents occurred, he should have been recovering.

He might have already regained all his strength."

Before Shen Han disappeared, the contest for the Marquis-succession candidate with Shen Ye still seemed vivid.

The two battled furiously, and Shen Han unexpectedly won.

Two years ago, Shen Han defeated Shen Ye.

Now that Shen Han has returned, if all his abilities have indeed been restored, Shen Han would still be greatly valued in Great Wei.

Upon hearing Shen Qingshan’s words, a fervor flickered in Shen Ye’s eyes.

"Him coming back to life is even better; I quite hope he has indeed returned alive.

His life should fall into my hands."

As he spoke, the fervor in Shen Ye’s eyes seemed to blaze even more.

Beside him, Shen Qingshan, however, was slightly concerned.

"Ye’Er, you’ve only just regained your strength, and that mechanical leg also needs time to adjust.

Moreover, that unfilial Shen Han, he’s not to be underestimated..."

Shen Qingshan didn’t clearly express it, but Shen Ye had already been defeated by Shen Han, and now had a leg missing.

Yet hearing this, Shen Ye showed no anger; instead, he smiled.

"Since Old Duke is worried, there are some things I won’t hide from everyone."

Noticing Shen Ye’s serious tone, everyone fell silent and focused.

"At the age of ten, I, Shen Ye, received the Spirit Bone inheritance.

With the Spirit Bone within me, trying to destroy me is not that easy.

Under the Spirit Bone’s function, that mechanical leg has long been enveloped and covered by my flesh and blood.

Now, it has no difference from my original leg.

The power of the Spirit Bone steps forward with every injury.

As long as it’s not destroyed, it grows stronger.

Two years ago, when my leg was broken, I thought the recovery power of the Spirit Bone was shattered.

Now I know, the Spirit Bone just needed a leverage, and that mechanical leg provided that leverage!

Now, with the sprouting of the Spirit Bone, my strength has not only recovered but has also taken an additional leap."

At this point, a smile appeared on Shen Ye’s face, and with a wave, an abnormal phenomenon manifested outside the window.
