Returned to the mansion.
Chun Yun replaced most of the servants in the mansion, including the steward. Tender as water, yet she took action decisively and swiftly.
Shen Zhi then went to Shen Hua's courtyard.
What the siblings had talked about, no one knew, but Shen Hua's eyes were rimmed with red.
"Young Master."
Yicui stepped inside from the outdoors.
"News came from the gatehouse. Clan Elder Shen is leading the Shen Family elders in waiting outside, asking for an audience."
A chill flickered through Shen Zhi's eyes.
"Do not let Mama deal with this."
"Lead the visitors to the main hall, and I will be there."
"Also, borrow Ji Qing from Brother Cui for me to use."
As he was leaving, Shen Hua subconsciously followed him for a few steps, then stopped abruptly and secretly wiped away her tears.
Shen Zhi had just entered the main hall with an inscrutable expression.
"Did the clan elders come to plead for mercy?"
"No."
