Chapter 005: The East Wind Prevails Over the West Wind

As he reached the doorway, Shen Gong'ao stumbled slightly and quickly steadied himself

Chu Liang quickly got up, changed into his clothes, and headed to the courtyard of Shen Gong Ao

Shen Gong'ao's beard suddenly bristled, truly on the verge of exploding with anger

Chuliang said: "But young master, you also took your revenge. Eight years ago, when you married, there were countless guests, and numerous noble families present. You publicly fled from the wedding, using a puppet to replace the groom, with the words 'The Shame of the Shens' written on it. The marquis was nearly so enraged that he fainted at the time"

The entire air suddenly became cold

Clearly unable to endure staying outside any longer, wanting to return home due to the suffering, yet still pretending to be grand and singing some high-minded tune, shameless, incompetent, and pitiful

... ...

If he faints again at home, convulsing uncontrollably, it will no longer be possible to conceal it; everyone will see the weakness of Shen Gongshi

Chu Liang said: "Sigh..."

Chuliang returned to the marquis's residence, filled with anxiety, and lay in bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep

If Wu Que were to return to the Marquis's residence at this moment, although Shen Gong Ao would be pleased, he would also look down upon Wu Que.

Wu Que Dan Dan said: "Eight years of my hard work and dedication went into writing a book, which he dismissed as a distraction from proper pursuits, scoffing at it in front of everyone and setting it ablaze. Back then, when I was learning songs from the performers, he had my teacher captured and beaten to near death in his residence, publicly declaring me the shame of the Shen family. Furthermore, at the Tianshui Academy, he bound and whipped me in public, bringing disgrace to my scholarly reputation"

Chu Liang felt a chill run through his body

In an instant

However, the lord is also exceedingly proud and resolute; anyone who dares to challenge his authority will be utterly crushed

The old partner said: "Should we send our two sons over to serve? The young master is of noble birth, how can he be without anyone by his side?"

Shen Gong'ao sneered and said, "What nonsense is that rebellious child talking about, putting on airs?"

The elderly man before me is one of the stewards of the Marquisate of Zhenhai, Chu Liang, who was brought in as a dowry steward by Shen Wuqiu's mother, Chu Mingzhu, and can be considered one of Wuqiu's own people

Chu Liang knelt down and said: "This old servant does not dare, young master, you have finally returned, finally returned. If the lady knows from the netherworld, she can rest assured."

... ...

The father and son duo, Shen Gong'ao and Shen Wuqie, truly embody a relationship of love and rivalry

Once he falls, the surrounding nobles will pounce like wolves, completely devouring the foundation of the Shen family, leaving the Shen clan, as an alien race, with no place to be buried.

At this moment, Shen Gong'ao felt dizzy and disoriented, the world spinning around him, and his vision blurred into darkness, completely losing control and fainting to the ground

Shen Gong'ao is exceptionally powerful and resolute in his decisions

Neither side is willing to yield to the other. Since Shen Wuqiu grew up, the relationship between this father and son has become as irreconcilable as fire and water, developing to a point where they resemble enemies.

At a young age, he became the head of a department at a nationally renowned hospital, having evaded countless overt and covert attacks; beneath his aloof and indifferent facade, how many competitors did he eliminate?

Although he currently serves as one of the stewards of the marquisate, in his heart, Lord Shen Gong'ao of Zhenhai does not count as his master

However, after accessing Shen Wuqie’s memories, he discovered that deep down, Shen Wuqie actually admired his father and yearned for his recognition. Yet, the fields in which Shen Wuqie excelled were all looked down upon by Shen Gong'ao, who believed that he was not pursuing a proper career and was bringing shame upon himself.

In the eight years since Shen Wuque went missing, the servants of the Chu Liang family have been without a master, and he feels as though he has lost his roots

The old companion said: "Is the young master unwilling to return?"

"Liang Bo, if you wish for me to return to the residence, let him come personally to invite me back." Wu Que said淡淡.

Chu Liang said: "What do you understand? The key is to reconcile them, as this situation is detrimental to the young master. As long as the marquis is still around, the young master can still secure some benefits. Once the marquisate changes hands in the future, the young master will truly face difficulties."

Shen Gong Ao said: "Hmph, go tell that ungrateful child. My Shen Gong residence is not a vegetable garden, where one can come and go as they please. Since they have left, there is no need for them to return."

I would like to see what tricks this ungrateful child can play right under my nose

"Liang Bo." Wu Que raised his teacup and asked, "Would you like some tea?"

The interactions between individuals, in a certain sense, are a form of warfare. It is either the East Wind overpowering the West Wind, or the West Wind overpowering the East Wind

His previous master was Chu Mingzhu. After Chu Mingzhu passed away, his master became Shen Wuqiu.

"Chuliang, the lord is calling for you"

During his time on Earth, he, as a medical doctor, witnessed too much life and death, and experienced too many extremes of warmth and cold.

This ungrateful child, even if he dies outside, I will not spare him a glance. Shen Gong Ao said coldly: "If you want me to invite him, you are dreaming in broad daylight. Let him die outside, let him rot outside. Issue a decree that no one is allowed to send him money or goods. Especially you, Chu Liang, are not to send anyone to attend to him."

Chu Liang said: "The Third Young Master stated that if you wish for him to return to the residence, it can only be done if the Marquis personally goes to invite him"

Chu Liang understands Shen Gong Ao, who despises weakness above all else. Although Shen Wuque has consistently opposed him and has infuriated him greatly, it is precisely this stubborn personality that, while provoking Shen Gong Ao's anger, also elicits a trace of admiration.

Chu Liang said: "The old servant requested the Third Young Master to return to the residence, but the Third Young Master declined."

At this moment, Chu Liang asked, "My lord, what is the matter with you?"

Having said this, Shen Gong'ao left in anger

In the courtyard, Shen Gong'ao, dressed in plain clothes, stood in the courtyard and coldly said: "Chu Liang, have you gone to see that ungrateful child?"

"Yes," Chu Liang knelt down and said

Falling on the battlefield before can still be referred to as a strategy of the proud soldier

He Shen Gong Ao is not only the backbone of the Shen family, but also the pillar that supports the entire family.

You returned to Zhenhai City, yet pretended to be unwilling to return to the Marquis's residence, is that not akin to a prostitute setting up a sign of virtue

Your mother was the most beloved wife of the marquis. She died during a difficult childbirth, which caused the marquis immense grief. Therefore, in the marquis's heart, you hold great significance. However, due to his strong personality and your stubbornness, the father-son relationship has become like fire and water. But what enmity could there be between father and son

You must not fall down, you must not fall down

It is imperative to secretly seek out a miraculous doctor to heal oneself, it must be done!

This logic is indeed crucial; if the young master cannot provide a perfect answer, he will not be able to pass this level and will be thoroughly looked down upon by Shen Gong'ao.

Chu Liang exclaimed, "How is this possible? The lord is so proud and so powerful, how could he possibly bow his head? Even if the sun were to set in the west, it would still be impossible.

He meticulously cleaned the tea bowl in front of him, until it was spotless

Then I shall never return to the Marquis's residence.

... ...

Wuqian originally intended to stop the other party from bowing, but being three to four feet away, rushing over would be undignified, so he simply let the other party bow instead

The character is aloof and proud, and does not speak heartfelt words. Since the other party does not drink tea, he will pour himself a cup and drink alone

Thus, Wuqie understands human nature very well, which is why he not only intends to return but also plans to do so with great assertiveness

At that moment, a sound was heard from outside

Inside an inn in Zhenhai City

If you truly do not wish to return to the residence, why then do you want to go back to Zhenhai City? Why return under the watchful eyes of Lord Shen Gong Ao? Is it not better to enjoy freedom outside?

That terrifying feeling is coming again, fainting and collapsing to the ground, convulsing uncontrollably

"Young Master San, although the Marquis has not spoken of it over the years, he has been very concerned about you in his heart, and he has sent more than one group of people to search for your whereabouts." Chu Liang said: "Since you have returned, you should go to the residence and make amends with the Marquis. Let the previous unpleasantness be considered as a thing of the past, and you will still be the Young Master of the Marquis' residence in the future."

The old servant pays his respects to the Third Young Master. An elderly man bows down, his gaze towards Wuqiu filled with immense excitement

But he controlled himself with an incredibly strong will, stating word by word: "Chu Liang, you go ask that ungrateful son. Since he is so resolute and unwilling to return to the residence, unwilling to acknowledge me as his father, why then does he want to return to Zhenhai City, why does he appear right under my nose? If he cannot provide a perfect explanation, he may leave."

Shen Wuqie is characterized by a stubborn personality, marked by a sense of aloofness and reclusiveness

After speaking, he was unexpectedly left almost in tears
