In this case, the clan would find themselves slightly more at ease.

They wouldnt allow the branch to become too prosperous, and the person involved would become directly a.s.sociated with the clan.

Shen Lianxue pondered this and eventually agreed. It wasnt 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 clans desires. This arrangement was swiftly put into motion.

When Shen Chengw.a.n.g discovered this, they had already settled in within the clan. Anxiously, he rushed over, stating, Why didnt you discuss this with me before moving here? I am the head of the family!

Shen Lianxue responded candidly, Living in the residence was less than ideal. The lack of a.s.sistance and frequent cold meals made it unbearable. So, we moved here, which is just 500 meters away. The clans environment is superior.

Shen Chengw.a.n.g stomped his feet, showing some dissatisfaction, but he couldnt afford to offend the two of them. He sighed and said, You should have informed me about these matters. I would have certainly handled them for you. Why did you come here? However, if youre willing to stay here, then stay.

Shen Chengw.a.n.g 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 Yous skill in refining pills.

How much have you refined so far? Give it to me first, and Ill distribute it to the children. Dont be naive. While the clan is influential, youre 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? Shen Chengw.a.n.g advised.

No, Ive already given all of it to the emperor, Lady You replied bluntly, showing no politeness. Our lives in the clan are quite comfortable. Its certainly better than in the residence. Were living well here.

Shen Chengw.a.n.g was momentarily speechless and anxious. He hadnt expected the two of them to be so compliant in the past and now be so oppositional. Furthermore, he hadnt antic.i.p.ated this situation developing so suddenly. He was unsure of how to proceed.

Lady You, regardless of how the clan treats you, we are husband and wife. I had initially intended to support you, but I didnt antic.i.p.ate your move to the clan. This situation is complex, Shen Chengw.a.n.g said, introducing a solution that he had thought of spontaneously, which hadnt occurred to him previously. But now, it seemed like an option.

Wasnt 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 wouldnt matter if Lian Xue stayed in the clan, but Lady You had to return to the residence. This way, their branch would s.h.i.+ne within the Shen family, with numerous advantages.

As he contemplated it, Shen Chengw.a.n.g felt it was a reasonable decision.

Lady You was initially taken aback. When she hesitated, Shen Chengw.a.n.g a.s.sumed that he had touched a chord with her.

However, after her pause, Lady You responded coldly, Theres no need.

She had no desire to become Shen Chengw.a.n.gs wife. She understood his motives all too well..
