"What are you saying?" After his father heard what Shen Haoxuan said, he could not help but be enraged, and placed the cup of tea on the table beside him.
The veins on his forehead popped up, upon seeing this, Shang Zhiqing's heart became uneasy, and he pulled on Shen Haoxuan's sleeves, signalling him not to argue with his father.
However, Shen Haoxuan was also extremely stubborn, he turned his head, and was unwilling to look at his father again.
The warm atmosphere between the two of them was completely destroyed by Shen Haoxuan.
Actually, Shang Zhiqing could understand from the way his father had addressed him. His father wanted to cultivate anew with Shen Haoxuan, and gave him a way out first, but Shen Haoxuan refused to cooperate.
Even the Clay Buddha had a temper.
This matter was indeed Shen Haoxuan's wrong.
"Uncle Shen Shi, don't bother with Shen Haoxuan, he has such a childish temper. Once his temper has passed, I will have him apologize to you."
Shang Zhiqing explained in a good mood.
Father Shen nodded gently to Shang Zhiqing, but when his gaze landed on Shen Haoxuan's face, he snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and left.
Outside, the sky had become completely dark. The dark sky was filled with stars, converging into a galaxy.
Shen Haoxuan stood in the center of the courtyard with Shen Haoxuan accompanying him in his low mood.
"Love, was what I did, really wrong?"
After a long while, Shen Haoxuan's voice suddenly resounded, mixed with a tone of sadness and depression, causing Shang Zhiqing's heart to fiercely tremble.
He lightly leaned his head on Shen Haoxuan's shoulder, and softly consoled him by Shen Haoxuan's ear: "I don't know if what you've done was right or wrong, but here, you'll always be right."
"The ice will freeze over every day. The conflict between you and Uncle Shen is not something that can be completely resolved through today's conversation. If the knot in your heart is not resolved every day, your relationship with Uncle Shen will always be in a stalemate. Is this really what you want to see? "
Shen Haoxuan hugged Shang Zhiqing back, rested his chin on Shang Zhiqing's shoulder, and said depressingly: "All these years, I hate him, but if I really wanted to die without getting along with him, I probably wouldn't be able to do so. However, every time I see him, I think of the scene when he chased me out of the Shen Mansion. "
"What should I do?"
If not for the fact that Shen Haoxuan and Shang Zhiqing were extremely close, Shang Zhiqing would not have been able to hear her mutterings.
After a long period of silence, Shang Zhiqing let out a long sigh, and said: "Let's stay in the Shen Mansion for a few more days, and give ourselves some time to think things over. After everything is settled, and after Father Shen and I completely resolve the misunderstanding, we can then leave the Shen Mansion."
"But right now, His Highness' military rations have yet to arrive. If we were to stay in Shen Mansion for a long time, Your Highness would probably be worried." Shen Haoxuan said worriedly.
His original intention was to come to the Shen Mansion to see its current state, and not to stay for a long time. Now that he saw the Steward Shen and Father Shen, although he still had a knot in his heart, he did not have any regrets.
"I have already ordered some people to prepare the military rations. I believe that they will be gathered very soon and sent to Mo Bei. Furthermore, I have informed Ji Rufeng about the people who were escorting them. With him around, there was no need to rush over the issue of rations. The matter right now is first to take care of the family matters between you and Uncle Shen. "
Shang Zhiqing whispered into Shen Haoxuan's ear.
Shen Haoxuan also never thought that Shang Zhiqing would actually arrange everything in such a neat and orderly manner. She originally did not need to do all this, but …
The hand holding Shang Zhiqing grew more and more powerful, and tightly embedded her into her embrace, as if it wanted to inlay her into its own blood and bone, and would never be able to separate from him.
Under Shang Zhiqing's persuasion, Shen Haoxuan stayed in Shen Mansion for a few more days.
Steward Shen was the happiest person. Every day, they would busy themselves wanting to do something for Shen Haoxuan and Shen Haoxuan could see through them. They wanted to tell Steward Shen that there was no need to do this, but even then, they could not stop Steward Shen from doing this.
Steward Shen and Shang Zhiqing did everything they could to reconcile the differences between Shen Haoxuan and Father Shen, but they failed.
Until the day Shen Haoxuan finally decided to take Shang Zhiqing and leave the Shen Mansion.
The two of them rode their horses slowly out of Shen Mansion, leaving this small town.
"If you didn't reconcile with Uncle Shen, would you have any regrets?" Shang Zhiqing rode on her horse and walked beside Shen Haoxuan. Looking at Shen Haoxuan's disappointed expression while he pretended to be relaxed, she asked softly.
"I think so, but that's all." Shen Haoxuan did not directly answer Shang Zhiqing, but he just happened to let out the pain in her heart.
He clearly wanted to pretend that he didn't care, yet his every word and action was filled with an expression of care.
The clatter of horses' hooves rang from behind him. Shen Haoxuan could not help but turn around and realize that it was his father who was working overtime.
Shock was written all over his face, and even Shang Zhiqing had a look of shock that flashed past his eyes, but after that, he immediately understood and was gratified.
Although she knew that her father had regrets in his heart, she did not expect him to chase after her for such a regret.
After all, this regret was personally caused by him, and he had missed it for a whole ten years.
Father Shen looked at Shen Haoxuan who was pretending to be calm, and nodded towards Shang Zhiqing: "I have something to take care of for this brat, so I'll be back very soon."
With that, he took the lead in driving the horse forward.
Shen Haoxuan said "Be careful of your safety, wait for me to come back" and then quickly followed his father's horse.
He stopped near a pavilion. Outside the pavilion was a clear stream that could be seen at the bottom. The mountain breeze brought about a refreshing feeling.
In this place, when Shen Haoxuan was very young, his father would often bring him out to play. There were still some crabs in this stream, and he would always catch them to roast with his father.
However, these were just memories.
"How have you been all these years?" Father looked at Shen Haoxuan's unwilling expression and asked.
He had an indescribable premonition in his heart, and was urging him to come over and dissolve the relationship between him and Shen Haoxuan. Otherwise, he wouldn't have any chance in this lifetime.
It was precisely this type of urging that made him not even change his clothes as he hurriedly rode over. Fortunately, he caught up.
Shen Haoxuan's eyes flashed with ridicule, he quickly lowered his eyes and covered up the ridicule in them, and said: "Did you not see how I was doing?"
He had indeed seen it, all of the clothes that Shen Haoxuan was wearing were of the highest quality, and even the merchant girl that he brought back, had a jade pendant that was of the highest quality.
But he still wanted to personally ask about it.
"Do you have to talk to me like that?" Her father was angered by Shen Haoxuan's disdainful tone, but when he thought that they might not have the chance to meet again in the future, he forcefully suppressed the anger in his heart.
