Chapter 527 Power Thoughts
The dignitaries in the Peony Garden had a great time hosting the banquet for the guests. When everyone was leaving, Shen Zhuang specially gave them precious peonies as a token of apology.
The banquet ended and all the noise returned to silence.
Shen Zhuang sat in the main seat. The Shen family members had different expressions. They all knew that something had happened in the inner courtyard, but the old man did not call off the banquet, so the Shen family's face had to be maintained. Now that there were no outsiders, the old man would probably settle the score.
Shen Jiao changed her clothes and arrived late. Seeing the solemn atmosphere, she sat down carefully.
"Have you eaten everything?"
"After you finish eating, come with me to Qin Garden."
Shen Zhuang slowly stood up with the help of a cane, leading the way without looking back. The others looked at each other and followed silently.

It was not only the Shen family who had a clear mind, but also the guests who left from all parties.
The Zhou family's car was the first to drive out of the front yard. The old man of the Zhou family closed his eyes and rested, casually playing with the top-grade Dzi beads in his hand. "What are you thinking about? You've been absent-minded since leaving Shen Garden?"
Zhou Yanheng turned his head to look out the window. Although Shen Yuan had faded from his sight, his mind was still there.
He had originally thought that the deaths of Shen Zhi and Yao Zilei would catch the Shen family off guard, and in order to hunt down the murderer, everyone would be treated as a suspect. Who knew that Shen Manor would continue with the banquet? Even knowing that there was a fire in the backyard, they were determined to maintain the reputation of the most powerful person in Jinggang. The Shen family really had a good way.
Zhou Guochao waited for a while but didn't hear a response. He raised his eyes and glanced at him, "You don't like the girl from the Shen family?"
Zhou Yanheng withdrew his gaze and looked at Zhou Guochao.
Mr. Zhou gently stroked the beads in his hand and said casually, "I think that girl is very interested in you. The marriage is related to the reputation of both families, so don't let anything go wrong."
Zhou Yanheng thought for a moment and said, "I'm curious why the Shen family doesn't care about Xiao Lanlan? Or, how did you convince Shen Rang?"
Old Master Zhou said calmly, "How can we keep focusing on old grudges when we are in the vortex? Shen Rang has been in the Dark Hall for so many years, he is definitely not a short-sighted person."
Zhou Yanheng raised his eyebrows, "It seems that you have quite a bit of leverage on me."
Old Master Zhou raised his eyes, and when he met Zhou Yanheng's gaze, there was a hint of relief in his eyes, "Stinky boy."
"Om-"
Zhou Yanheng smiled and turned on his cell phone.
-【Guan He: Holy shit! What the hell did you do out there? Didn't you tell me to watch a show? Why are you leaving without even seeing the show?】
-[Guan He: Why is there no further news about Shen Zhi? Are Jiang Huashan and Yao Zilei dead or alive?]
-【Guan He: Damn! Please stop me! I'm dying of curiosity.】

In the Guan family’s car.
-【Zhou Yanheng: Get lost.】
An 800-word essay would just roll over. Guan He couldn't sit still anymore and jumped up. "Fuck you."
At that time in Shen Garden, he risked being beaten to death by the Shen family to stand up for Zhou Yanheng. Is this how the bastard treats his own father?
Guan Lou was on a video call when Guan He suddenly cursed, scaring the secretary on the other side of the meeting so much that his face turned pale. His first reaction was that it was a mistake made at work. Guan Lou's forehead twitched, and he turned off the video and looked coldly at the ancestor in front of him.
"Ahe, when can you calm down a little?"
"Tomorrow." Guan He was typing away at Zhou Yanheng, completely ignoring Guan Lou's words.
"..." Guan Lou pinched his brows and snatched his phone away. "Don't worry about tomorrow. Since I can't control you, find someone else to control you. Are there any girls at the party today that you like?"
Guan He was a little impatient at first, but when he heard about the girl, his eyes lit up, "Why? Are you going to find me a wife again?"
Guan Lou nodded. "I finally understand. The Guan family can't count on you anymore. I plan to follow the Shen family's example and invest directly in my grandson. But I'm already old, and I don't know if it's too late. The Queen of the Bai family is still in power at eighty, so if I work hard, living another twenty years won't be a problem." After saying this, his expression suddenly became serious. "Get married and raise a grandson for me right away. My grandson must be an adult by the time I'm eighty!"
"..." Guan He snorted coldly and crossed his legs. "Okay, I'm interested in the daughter of the Su family. If you help me marry her, I'll give you a big fat grandson tomorrow."
"Su family?" Guan Lou had an impression of the daughter of the Su family. He squinted at Guan He and said, "That girl is indeed pretty and intelligent, but she doesn't look good on you, does she?
Guan He laughed in anger. Doesn't it make sense? If it weren't for the real and fake daughter who appeared in the middle, he would have slept with Su Yun long ago.
Guan Lou sized up Guan He's expression, "Are you really interested? Are you sure you're not mistaken this time?"
Guan He nodded. Even now, when he occasionally thought of the first time he met Su Yun, he still felt a palpitation in his heart. He couldn't explain what it was and roughly classified it as being sleepy.
Seeing this, Guan Lou threw the phone back and said, "Okay, I understand. Let's wait for the news."
While waiting for the news, Guan He suddenly shuddered. The old man said the same thing last time, which resulted in him being beaten up by the three bastards of the Shen family.
"Are you reliable?!"
Guan Lou knew what he was worried about, and patted his shoulder calmly, "Don't worry, the Su family won't make a mistake this time."
Guan He didn't dare to question anything after hearing that. He picked up his phone and prepared to continue bombarding Zhou Yanheng. He had just edited a string of 800 short essays and sent them out when he immediately received an exclamation mark.
Guan He: “…”

"Ah sneeze~!"
In the Su family car on the other side, Su Miao suddenly shuddered.
Su Jingliu immediately stopped talking with Su Zhuo and turned to look at Su Miao, "Miao Miao, did you catch a cold? Go home with grandpa today and ask your mother to make you some ginger tea to warm you up."
Su Miao rubbed her nose and said, "Grandpa, I'm fine. My nose just itched."
Su Jingliu nodded and continued talking with Su Zhuo.
"Based on today's situation, Yu Siwen's re-election shouldn't be a problem. If things continue like this, the Yu family will soon become the next Guan family or the Gu family."
Su Zhuo, "The recent policies implemented by the Yu faction have been well received, and the support rate for the new elite has been rising. It seems that the position of the old regime will be completely changed in ten years."
He paused, then continued, "The Shen family has focused on military and political affairs in recent years. It seems that Mr. Shen is determined to let Lan Xi inherit his father's business."
The most outstanding son died in the war, and now he wants to send his favorite grandson to the same position. This is not something that ordinary people can do.
Speaking of Shen Lanxi, Su Jingliu's eyes flickered with envy. "The energy and veins of a century-old clan are truly mysterious. Back then, the main branch of the Shen family all died for their country, and were on the verge of being swallowed up by the side branches and annihilated by the powerful circles of Jinggang. Who would have thought that Shen Zhuang would suddenly appear and single-handedly support the family's century-long glory. Shen Zhuang is old, and the Shen family has produced the astonishing genius Shen Xi. Who among your fathers hasn't been impressed by the heroic demeanor of the Shen family's young commander?"
"God is jealous of talented people. Shen Xi sacrificed his life to pave the way for the Shen family, continuing its unrivaled glory for thirty years. I thought that with Shen Xi, the heavens had reversed their bias towards the Shen family. I didn't expect that the Shen family would now produce another pair of generals."
“It’s so irritating that people are so different from each other.”
The atmosphere in the car was extremely quiet. After hearing this, Shen Zhuo and Su Yun looked confused.
Su Miao held her chin with one hand and looked at the scenery outside the window. Her mind was not here. After hesitating for a moment, she sent a message of condolence to Jiang Huashan.
Soon Jiang Huashan sent a message.
