In this case, the clan would find themselves slightly more at ease.
They wouldnât allow the branch to become too prosperous, and the person involved would become directly associated with the clan.
Shen Lianxue pondered this and eventually agreed. It wasnât that she believed the people within the clan were superior, but she was well aware that living within the clan would grant her a status within the Shen family. This, in a way, marked the official completion of her mission.
As for Lady You, she was simply asked to relocate to the clan, aligning perfectly with the clanâs desires. This arrangement was swiftly put into motion.
When Shen Chengwang discovered this, they had already settled in within the clan. Anxiously, he rushed over, stating, âWhy didnât you discuss this with me before moving here? I am the head of the family!â
Shen Lianxue responded candidly, âLiving in the residence was less than ideal. The lack of assistance and frequent cold meals made it unbearable. So, we moved here, which is just 500 meters away. The clanâs environment is superior.â
Shen Chengwang stomped his feet, showing some dissatisfaction, but he couldnât afford to offend the two of them. He sighed and said, âYou should have informed me about these matters. I would have certainly handled them for you. Why did you come here? However, if youâre willing to stay here, then stay.â
Shen Chengwang knew that it was too late to reverse the situation now. If he insisted they return, the clan might still criticize him. So, he decided to go along with it. However, he wanted to know what benefits they brought, with a particular interest in Lady Youâs skill in refining pills.
âHow much have you refined so far? Give it to me first, and Iâll distribute it to the children. Donât be naive. While the clan is influential, youâre still from our branch. Only when our courtyard thrives will you have a good life. So, the more pills we have in our courtyard, the better, understand?â Shen Chengwang advised.
âNo, Iâve already given all of it to the emperor,â Lady You replied bluntly, showing no politeness. âOur lives in the clan are quite comfortable. Itâs certainly better than in the residence. Weâre living well here.â
Shen Chengwang was momentarily speechless and anxious. He hadnât expected the two of them to be so compliant in the past and now be so oppositional. Furthermore, he hadnât anticipated this situation developing so suddenly. He was unsure of how to proceed.
âLady You, regardless of how the clan treats you, we are husband and wife. I had initially intended to support you, but I didnât anticipate your move to the clan. This situation is complex, â Shen Chengwang said, introducing a solution that he had thought of spontaneously, which hadnât occurred to him previously. But now, it seemed like an option.
Wasnât this what Lady You had been yearning for all these years?
He decided to grant her wish. In the future, things would be simpler. It wouldnât matter if Lian Xue stayed in the clan, but Lady You had to return to the residence. This way, their branch would shine within the Shen family, with numerous advantages.
As he contemplated it, Shen Chengwang felt it was a reasonable decision.
Lady You was initially taken aback. When she hesitated, Shen Chengwang assumed that he had touched a chord with her.
However, after her pause, Lady You responded coldly, âThereâs no need.â
She had no desire to become Shen Chengwangâs wife. She understood his motives all too well..
