Shen Yanrong stood there expressionlessly, listening to the other party’s rant. He didn’t need to look to imagine the smug look on Shen Tao’s face.

If he could, he wanted to have a showdown with these people, he wanted to stop being patient and take his wife and children to live the life he wanted. But it wasn’t time yet…

“Young Master Shen, I know you’re inside, and I heard you. Hurry up, don’t keep the master waiting,” Shen Tao’s words were full of impatience, but he had also changed from his previous anxiety. He tapped his leg and said with a good mood, “You’ve wasted so much time, you should have some pity on us servants, don’t deliberately make things difficult.”

He then gave Li Shan a smug smile, his eyes signaling the boy to learn.

Li Shan nodded repeatedly, he couldn’t help but give the other party a thumbs up.

Compared to Zhuang Ge, I’m still too young.

Shen Yanrong’s chest heaved violently, he was clearly angered by the other party’s shamelessness. If he could, if he could…

He didn’t care how these people treated him, but he didn’t want his wife and children to be bullied and wronged… He turned back and looked at the closed door, a sense of guilt flashed in his eyes. Right now, he couldn’t do anything.

After a moment of silence, Shen Yanrong moved, intending to go quickly and come back quickly. But as he took two steps, he heard the sound of the door opening behind him. He turned around and saw a big one and two small ones standing at the door, staring straight at him. He was a little anxious, he quickly walked up to them and lowered his voice, “How did you come out?”

“Daddy, we heard everything,” Little Yun Hao’s brow was almost wrinkled like an old man, “Don’t go, okay?”

“Daddy, beat up the bad guys!” Little Xin Yue clenched her small fists, she waved them in the air, her little face puffed up.

“I…” Shen Yanrong said with difficulty, but when the words reached his lips, he couldn’t say them.

Lu Yao held his hand, “We’ll go together.”

“No,” Shen Yanrong refused without thinking, “I don’t know what kind of trouble those people will cause.”

He didn’t want his wife and children to go back and be wronged.

Lu Yao still insisted, “If something really happens, do you think those people will let us go?”

If the master didn’t condone and instruct them, would a servant dare to be so arrogant and presumptuous?

She never dared to underestimate those people. She even thought that it wasn’t an exaggeration to think of them with the greatest malice.

“We might not be safe if we stay at home.”

“Dad, we agreed that we would face difficulties together as a family.” Little Yun Hao felt that he was growing up and should face it with his parents.

Little Yue Yue also reached out and pulled his clothes, “Daddy, together.”

Lu Yao and Shen Yanrong didn’t hide the situation at home from the children. Those people often made trouble for no reason, making people uneasy. It wasn’t something they could hide if they wanted to.

Shen Yanrong looked at his wife, then at his children, he hugged them into his arms, the guilt in his eyes became even stronger. He was such a useless husband and father.

“Let’s go together, we can look after each other.” Lu Yao continued to persuade him.

“…” Shen Yanrong remained silent for a long time, he finally agreed, and then he said, “I’ll find a chance to break off the relationship with them and leave this place.”

Lu Yao was surprised, “Really?” After she finished speaking, she was a little worried, “Are you sure?”

“I should have decided long ago,” Shen Yanrong’s words were a little downcast, “We’ll go to my uncle.”

“Okay.” Lu Yao smiled.

Since they had decided, they didn’t delay any longer. Shen Yanrong picked up Little Xin Yue with one hand and held Lu Yao’s hand with the other. Lu Yao’s other hand was holding Little Yun Hao’s, and they walked to the gate of the courtyard together.

Shen Yanrong’s gaze lingered on his wife and children for a moment, then he reached out and took Lu Yao’s hand, straightened his back, pulled the door latch, and then the two of them pulled open the courtyard gate, one on each side.

Because their actions were so sudden, Li Shan, who was urged to knock on the door again, almost dislocated his arm.

“Shen… Young Master Shen.”

Li Shan was startled, he reflexively took a step back.

Shen Yanrong ignored him, but he glanced at Shen Tao, who was standing aside. Shen Tao had obviously anticipated that he would compromise. Seeing this, he sneered, “Young Master Shen is really hard to please.”

Shen Yanrong ignored him, he walked past him and directly put Yue Yue on the carriage.

Shen Tao was offended, he was immediately angry, but he remembered not to ruin the situation. He just saw Shen Yanrong’s actions and frowned, “Young Master Shen, what are you doing?”

Shen Yanrong glanced at him, “Didn’t you tell us to go?”

“The master only told you to go alone,” Shen Tao’s gaze swept across the group of people, he said sarcastically, “The Shen family is not a place where any cat or dog can enter.”

Shen Yanrong didn’t say anything.

Shen Tao was secretly pleased, waiting for the other party to beg him.

Humph, if he doesn’t vent his anger today, how can he continue to get along in the Shen family?!

But he was destined to be disappointed.

Shen Yanrong retracted his gaze, he nodded in agreement, “Indeed, the Shen family are all extraordinary cats and dogs, we ordinary people are not suitable.”

“You…” Shen Tao looked smug, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he realized the meaning of the other party’s words, his face immediately changed, “Say that again!”

Shen Yanrong didn’t care about the other party’s harsh words, he raised an eyebrow, “I dare to say it, are you sure you want to hear it?”

“Pfft,” Lu Yao laughed out loud. Facing Shen Tao’s angry eyes, she apologized very perfunctorily, “Sorry, I couldn’t help it.”

Shen Tao looked at the two people in front of him, who were wearing tattered clothes but had a playful expression on their faces. The strings of his reason were “sizzling”, it was the sign of starting to break.

He gritted his teeth, “The master only told you to go alone, Young Master Shen, rest assured, I will stay here to take care of them, I guarantee that they won’t lose a single hair.”

He emphasized the words “I will stay here to take care of them”, if you didn’t know better, you would think he was the master.

Shen Yanrong looked at Shen Tao, who was looking smug. The other party seemed to be sure that he would compromise as he always did. He pursed his lips and remained silent.

Before, he didn’t want his wife and children to go with him because he was worried that they would be wronged in the Shen family. Now, he was afraid that they would be in danger if they stayed behind. Of two evils, he chose the lesser one. It was better to keep them under his own eyes.

As for Shen Tao’s threat?

Heh, even if he was no longer favored, he was still the eldest son of the Shen family, he wasn’t a servant who could swagger and bully people.

Shen Tao saw that Shen Yanrong not only didn’t take his words to heart, but also picked up the other child and put him on the carriage. He immediately shouted, “Young Master Shen, are you really going to oppose the master?!”

After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment, took a deep breath, tried to suppress the anger in his heart and make himself look like a good person, “You’re making it difficult for us. Why don’t you put them down? Don’t worry, I will definitely take good care of them.”

Take care? He would indeed take good care of them.

How could Shen Yanrong not know what the other party was thinking? It concerned the safety of his wife and children, he no longer wanted to beat around the bush with the other party, he said coldly, “What if I don’t?”
