477 Kicked Out

Shen Yuansong pondered for a moment with furrowed brows and said, “Indeed, the safety of the Shen family is very precarious at the moment.”

Hearing this, Shen Zhong and Shen Chong both brightened up and nodded eagerly.

Shen Cong then chimed in, “Yes, that’s right. Who knows when the Queen will barge in with her men again? We were all frightened out of our wits yesterday. If we don’t do something, our family will become completely vulnerable. Granduncle, please trust me and let me handle our family’s security. I guarantee that I can keep our home safe!”

Shen Yuansong looked at him and replied, “I understand your intentions. However, the Valor Gate has never gotten involved in the affairs of the four great families, so it may be difficult to ask for their assistance.”

Shen Zhong immediately responded, “It may be difficult for others, but Cong’er is acquainted with some of the members of the Valor Gate who are currently in charge. It shouldn’t be a problem to ask a few of them for help, right Cong’er?”

At this moment, Shen Cong’s eyes lit up even brighter. “Yes, that’s right. I think it should be no problem to invite four or five people. However, Grandfather, you need to give me the authority to handle the security of our manor. Otherwise, it would be seen as disrespectful if I invite members of Valor Gate to help and they have to listen to someone else’s orders.”

Shen Yuansong sighed. “But four or five people are too few. How can they protect such a large family like ours?”

Shen Cong was confused by his grandfather’s words and was still thinking about it when Shen Yuansong continued, “In fact, we split into different branches long ago. Now that the main branch is suffering a catastrophe, I cannot drag down the second branch as well. How about this? The second branch can move out today. Cong’er knows some disciples from Valor Gate who can protect a few people of the second branch. They should have enough capability in this regard.”

Shen Zhong and Shen Chong were thunderstruck by these words.

What did Shen Yuansong mean by asking the second branch to leave?

If they left, they would never have another chance to compete for inheritance rights!

Shen Zhong was about to protest, but Shen Yuansong had already turned to the butler and said, “Actually, our family has been divided into different branches in my generation. I remember the second branch’s residence is in the south. Can it be inhabited?”

The butler replied immediately, “Yes, it can. It is cleaned every day.”

Shen Yuansong nodded and said without further discussion, “Alright, then find a few people to escort the second branch there.”

Shen Zhong cried out in desperation, “Uncle! We don’t have any grievances against the main branch. We really don’t. The Shen family is in trouble now, and we can’t just abandon it!”

Shen Chong also hastily exclaimed, “Uncle, is there anything we did wrong? The three branches used to live together happily. It was so lively!”

Shen Cong shouted even louder, “Grandfather, are you trying to kick us out of the family?”

Shen Yuansong looked at the three of them indifferently and said, “Why are you guys freaking out? I just think you were right earlier. Our home’s security is not strong enough. If someone breaks in one day and scares you all, how can I explain to our ancestors? So, you should move out first. When things calm down, you can come back if you want to.”

Could they come back safely after leaving? It was impossible!
