Chapter 292: Chapter 291: Madam Shen, Upon Hearing Shen Ye Was Injured

After noon, Shen Ye and Luo Zuchen had just finished their lunch.

Madam Shen and Shen Lingsheng had already arrived in the Capital City.

They should have arrived in the Capital City long ago, but delays here and there led to them arriving only now.

Women like Madam Shen and Madam He, who have always stayed within the residence.

They were extremely resistant to seeking Shen Han to ease relations.

That day, Shen Qingshan had already made a decision, and afterward, they talked to Shen Qingshan several more times.

In their words, they spoke various criticisms about Shen Han.

Madam Shen even shed tears, asking Shen Qingshan to consider her years of hard work and not to torment her.

If the Shen Family were to submit to Shen Han, who knows how this junior might defy her in the future...

But these suggestions were something Shen Qingshan could not accept at all.

Or rather, the decision he made was one of reluctance.

Facing so many great obstacles before the Shen Family, the most difficult to overcome now was the demand for Pills.

In Great Wei, apart from the northern military, middle-grade Pills had not been widely adopted yet.

Other armies, such as the Forbidden Army and the Northeast Garrison, each and every soldier.

The Pills in the soldiers’ hands have all been replaced with middle-grade Pills.

The previously used low-grade Pills have been completely phased out.

The northern army is still fine since the Su Family’s decisive victory over the Qi Country army seven years ago, the north has been at peace without war for many years.

Even though there are complaints among the soldiers, it’s still manageable.

After all, judging from the current situation, the north will remain peaceful.

No war means it’s acceptable for the benefits to be slightly worse.

But for the Eastern Garrison, it’s different.

The border area between Great Wei and Yan Country often experiences skirmishes.

Soldiers truly need to go to the front lines and fight the enemy.

In such a situation, the benefits are much worse compared to the Forbidden Army and the Northeast Garrison.

The soldiers are bound to cause unrest.

The Pills bought from the Yun Family at sixty percent of the price are running low.

It’s not that Shen Qingshan wants to ease tensions with Shen Han and rope him in.

But he has no choice, he must do so.

Furthermore, the current achievements of Shen Han’s strength.

Fifth Grade, First Snow Realm, age nineteen.

Even without considering the Pill aspect, Shen Han is worth allying with.

In front of Madam Shen, Shen Qingshan no longer hides anything.

If they can’t get along with Shen Han, then relying on the Yun Family for Pills is hopeless.

Once the middle-grade Pills in hand are exhausted, the Pills needed by the army must either be supplemented by the Shen Family to cover the deficit.

Or they must continue using low-grade Pills.

But when it comes to people’s hearts, it’s not about scarcity, but about inequality.

If a mutiny occurs in the army, the Shen Family would be doomed.

"As the Old Dowager of the Shen Family, of course, you have the right to offer opinions.

Tell me, old woman, what other methods are there to overcome the current difficulties?"

Shen Qingshan’s heartfelt words finally made Madam Shen understand.

The current predicament of the Shen Family is very difficult...

"I understand, Master...

We should first use the relationship with Shen Han to get some Pills from the Yun Family.

We can talk about how to treat Shen Han in the future."

The two finally reached an agreement at this moment.

At least, they need to weather the current predicament first.

Madam Shen and Shen Lingsheng rented an inn in the capital.

This makes it much quieter when discussing matters.

Originally, the two wanted to call Shen Ye out to the inn to talk and meet him first.

But as soon as they moved in, they heard a widely circulated news.

Shen Ye was assassinated and injured...

Hearing this news, Madam Shen froze for a moment.

Then, leaning on her cane, she immediately headed towards the Mountain Sea Academy.

Her steps were unsteady and her face filled with anxiety.

The maid Cai Xue hurriedly caught up, fearing she would fall.

In Madam Shen’s eyes, anyone can have an accident, but her beloved grandson Shen Ye must not.

Shen Lingsheng used a Sound Transmission Magical Artifact to contact Shen Ye, first asking about his condition.

After learning there was no serious harm, he quickly informed Madam Shen to ease her concern.

The two also took the opportunity to go directly to Mountain Sea Academy.

Shen Ye and Luo Zuchen, his master and disciple, were already waiting there, having prepared some snacks and tea.

"My dear grandson, how are you?

Where are you hurt?

Have you seen the physicians?"

Madam Shen furrowed her brows, her expression filled with concern.

To her, Shen Ye is her pride, the most outstanding descendant she nurtured while managing the household.

In her eyes, she would rather see other descendants gone than let Shen Ye get hurt.

"Rest assured, Old Dowager, your grandson hasn’t suffered any major injuries, just needs some rest..."

Upon hearing these words, Madam Shen’s face was filled with worry.

"How can even the Capital City not be safe, and Ye’Er gets hurt...

Why not let me arrange some guards from the Shen Family for you?

If my precious grandson’s safety can’t be assured, the future of the Shen Family will be hard to secure..."

Madam Shen spoke softly, with a hint of reproach in her words.

This reproach was undoubtedly directed at Luo Zuchen.

Being Shen Ye’s personal teacher, or rather his mentor, he didn’t protect his disciple, so naturally, she blamed him.

Shen Ye, perceptive enough to hear the implication, quickly waved his hand.

"Please, Old Dowager, don’t say that...

Mr. Luo already got injured protecting me and he is recovering now too.

This attack was probably timed because they knew Mr. Luo was healing."

Hearing this explanation, Madam Shen’s expression softened, and she repeatedly apologized to Luo Zuchen.

"Old Dowager, you are just worried about Ye’Er; as they say, concern leads to confusion.

We are all family; it’s okay, it’s okay."

Saying this, Luo Zuchen invited the two to sit.

The four sat at the square table, enjoying the prepared tea and snacks.

Madam Shen was most concerned about Shen Ye’s health. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Luo Zuchen did not keep anything hidden; since the injury wasn’t serious, it didn’t count as real harm for him and Shen Ye.

A little rest would surely restore him to his original state.

Seeing Luo Zuchen speak with certainty, Madam Shen felt slightly relieved.

After all, this Mr. Luo is an Immortal Realm master, so his words are quite credible.

"Ye’Er, I will rely on Mr. Luo to take care of you.

We have been living in Yun’an City for a long time and can’t help much."

"Old Dowager, rest assured, Ye’Er is my only disciple, so naturally, I hope the best for him.

To carry forward my skills.

Maybe one day he’ll establish his own sect~"

They spoke pleasantly, enjoying a harmonious moment.

"By the way, why did the Old Dowager and General Lingsheng come to the Capital City?

Is it just to see this child Shen Ye?"

The main topic was finally brought up.

But in front of the two, Madam Shen really didn’t know how to begin.
