But when the Steward Shen heard Shen Haoxuan's question, his kind expression immediately darkened, "Why are you bringing up that woman? If not for that woman, the young master would not have been chased out of the house by the old master. However, not long after the woman saw the young master being chased out by the old master, her true nature was exposed. "
"Master suspected that there was something wrong with the cause of death, so he ordered some people to investigate it in private. I didn't expect that the fetus wasn't part of Master. "After the truth was revealed, the old master chased that woman out, but didn't have the face to bring the young master back. After all, the old master was angry for a while, so the young master …"
Steward Shen did not finish his sentence, but Shen Haoxuan and Shang Zhiqing had already understood what he meant. Shen Haoxuan revealed a slightly understanding expression, which did not have the joy or anger of the truth.
Back then, when his father heard that woman's one-sided talk about driving him out of his house, he had already been disappointed. Now, he only came back to take a look at the Shen family and didn't have the will to return to the Shen family.
Obviously, Steward Shen had also seen through Shen Haoxuan's intentions, and hesitantly spoke up: "Little Young Master, since the misunderstanding between you and Old Master has been resolved, you can rest assured and stay in the Shen family. If there was someone who didn't have eyes, the old servant would definitely not let him off. Even if it is Master, this old servant will still fight until the end for Young Master. "
However, Shen Haoxuan laughed and said: "Thank you for taking care of me all these years, housekeeper grandfather. However, I only came back to take a look at you guys. Now that the Heavenly Saint Realm is in a tight spot, as a Heavenly Saint Realm man, how can I just stand by and watch without doing anything? "
Hearing this, Shang Zhiqing looked at him with astonishment. She thought that Shen Haoxuan would tell Steward Shen that he was working under Xuanyuan Chen, but she didn't expect him to be unwilling to even mention his own situation.
Exactly what kind of disappointment did Shen Haoxuan, who was kicked out of the Shen family, feel towards his father when he was with the Shen family?
In fact, the war between the Heavenly Saints was not as intense as it had been in the beginning. It was as if the war between the Heavenly Saints had always been a good news ever since they left the Shang family's residence.
Of course, she had to use a special method to know about all these good news. Shen Haoxuan didn't tell her too much about the battlefield, and had always taken care of her like a little girl.
She was clearly strong enough to withstand it on her own.
The Steward Shen guessed that Shen Haoxuan still had a knot in his heart, so he did not try to dissuade him anymore. He quietly brought Shen Haoxuan and to his father's courtyard and whispered: "At this time, the old master should be reading a book, the old servant will go and knock on the door. Young Master, please wait here for me with this young lady for a moment."
The knocking sounds from the door interrupted his father, who was reading in the room. His father was frustrated at the moment, thinking that someone who didn't know the rules was coming to disturb him, so he had to be punished.
He opened the door and angrily shouted, "Who is it?!"
As a result, when he opened the door, he saw his son who hadn't been home for a long time. He pursed his lips as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he lowered his eyes.
His gaze turned to Steward Shen at the door and asked: "Butler, what's wrong?"
"Master, the young master is back. Have a good chat." Steward Shen had seen all of the changes in Father Shen's expression when he saw Shen Haoxuan earlier. He knew that Father Shen had always missed Shen Haoxuan.
He hoped that this time, the misunderstanding and the knot in their hearts would be completely resolved, so that the young master could return home as soon as possible.
Shang Zhiqing, who was standing beside Shen Haoxuan, felt that Shen Haoxuan's current mood was a little nervous and a little excited. She pulled on Shen Haoxuan's sleeve, and whispered into his ear: "Go, he's your father after all."
Shen Haoxuan pursed his lips, and walked somewhat nervously in the direction of his father, so nervous that he almost had the same leg.
Steward Shen had long since retreated to Shang Zhiqing's side, and watched as Father Shen and Shen Haoxuan entered the room one after the other.
The Steward Shen laughed with gratitude, then bowed to Shang Zhiqing and said: "Old master and young master may have some personal words to say, young lady please follow this old servant to the main hall, drink a cup of tea, and eat some snacks."
"Yes." Shang Zhiqing nodded and followed Steward Shen and left her father's courtyard.
On the way, Steward Shen wanted to ask Shang Zhiqing about the things that Shen Haoxuan had experienced in the past few years, but Shang Zhiqing quickly gave them a perfunctory reply.
In the end, in the main hall, Shang Zhiqing said to the Steward Shen sincerely with the black dragon tea that she had just brewed.
"Steward Shen, I can understand your concern about Young Master Shen, but I have only known you for a few days, so I'm not too sure about what happened in Young Master Shen a few years ago."
Even though she said that, Shang Zhiqing clearly knew in her heart. After all, ever since she had decided to be together with Shen Haoxuan, she had already sorted out everything that had happened to Shen Haoxuan in the past few years.
However, the information was also very limited, and only told Shen Haoxuan about some of the movements Shen Haoxuan had made during the past few years. After all, before that, the Shang Clan's information network had never taken a fancy to an ordinary mortal like Shen Haoxuan.
"Then old servant dare to ask merchant girl one more thing?" Steward Shen was not bothered by Shang Zhiqing's previous rejection. Instead, he was all smiles.
Shang Zhiqing was a little doubtful in her heart, but facing the Steward Shen who had been taking care of Shen Haoxuan since he was young, he did not think too much about it.
"May I ask what is the relationship between the merchant girl and the young master? This is the first time that I have seen Young Master bring the young lady back to the Shen family. " Especially after Shen Haoxuan was chased out of the Shen family, his first time back was with a woman.
The relationship between the girl and the young master was definitely not simple. If he had a good relationship with her, then perhaps he could help to persuade the young master to stay in the Shen family.
Hearing this, Shang Zhiqing was slightly stunned, as though she did not expect the Steward Shen to be this sharp, but it was also within reason. Shang Zhiqing did not answer Steward Shen's question, but revealed a shy smile instead.
He then lowered his eyes and quietly ate his dessert, not saying another word.
Steward Shen could guess the relationship between the two from Shang Zhiqing's embarrassed expression, and could not help but feel relieved.
The merchant girl in front of him, whether it was his appearance, personality, character, or speech, all fit his Young Master very well.
He had seen a lot of people, but he had rarely seen such an outstanding woman like this merchant girl.
Furthermore, the young master had been away from home for so many years that he lacked a woman who knew how to be warm.
Thinking about it this way, the Steward Shen became more amiable towards Shang Zhiqing, as if he was looking at his future mistress.
