Chapter 402: No Future (1)

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

On the day Shen Xin was released from the palace and returned to the mansion, Shen Miao personally went to the palace gate to pick him up.

The others in the Shen family were naturally unhappy with this outcome, especially Old Madam Shen. She thought that Shen Xin was doomed, but she did not expect him to be spared in the end. However, when she heard from Shen Gui what it meant to have no military power, Old Madam Shen was delighted again.

Shen Xin, without his military power, was no longer on par with Shen Gui and Shen Wan in terms of influence in the imperial court. Old Madam Shen was short-sighted. She didn’t realize that the Shen family was a whole. When the people thought of the Shen family, they first thought of Shen Xin. Once Shen Xin lost his power, the Shen family would no longer be as glorious.

However, Old Madam Shen probably did not care. In her heart, the two people she gave birth to, Shen Gui and Shen Wan, were countless times better than Shen Xin. If not for the fact that the old general was biased back then, Shen Xin would not be where he was today. She would take this opportunity to expel Shen Xin from the Shen family.

However, how the assets should be divided was also another matter worth thinking through.

Shen Miao did not take the assets to heart at all. At this point in time, she had to do as she had previously planned. Without the military power, the Shen family was indeed nothing to be afraid of. If the first branch continued to stay here, given how many enemies they had, the first branch would sooner or later be forced into a desperate situation.

At the end of the day, they still had to retreat.

For some reason, Shen Miao thought of Xie Jingxing’s warning to her that day. The word “retreat” was indeed the only way out for the first branch of the Shen family.
