Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes-Chapter 313 - 312: Han, It Was Really You Who Did It

Chapter 313: Chapter 312: Han, It Was Really You Who Did It

It’s almost 7:00 PM.

Usually, at this time of day, it’s already time for dinner.

But today, Shen Han came 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 some time 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 time 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 somewhat amusing.

"About a month ago, Shen Lingsheng came looking for me."

Upon hearing that Shen Lingsheng had come, Shen Han couldn’t help but frown slightly.

"What did he come 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 came 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 agreement.

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 some money to find out some 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 mend 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 came 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 me?"

Shen Han was taken aback, not quite understanding the meaning behind it.

"Slandering me about what? Accusing me 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 blame it on someone else.

To put it bluntly, it’s really shameless!"

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 unharmed 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 somewhat in disbelief.

"Yes, it was indeed me...

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 deemed as attacking one’s elder brother, deemed ruthless in temperament.

After a pause, Madam Yun seemed to be contemplating how to respond.

"Even so, Shen Ye was asking for it himself.

His mentor, 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 time in the future."

To Madam Yun, she naturally hoped they’d receive retribution.

Especially someone 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 came to relay that the banquet was almost ready, inviting Madam Yun to head over soon.

Madam Yun nodded, seizing the remaining time 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 welcomed a chubby grandson.

Not to pressure you into marriage immediately, but there should be some 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, seemed to have hidden meanings 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 someone 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.
