Because of the voices outside, Fu Bao and the others who were drinking automatically lowered their voices. Now, silently toasting and eating meat, they could clearly hear the conversation outside.
They exchanged glances, all of them taken aback.
These people from the Shen Family... they have no shame indeed.
Originally, it was them who falsely accused Shen Cong, thereby banishing him from the family home and erasing his name from the family tree. Now, seeing that he has reaped benefits and has become a lord, they wish to bring him back.
Bringing him back is one thing, but they are even eyeing the iron mine and the lordship. Who gave them such audacity?
There is often idle chatter in the palace, most have heard of the strange events surrounding Shen Cong. When the family head chased him away, she didn't want to give him anything. Thus, she gave him a barren mountain with almost no output. Who could have guessed that there would be a treasure beneath this barren hill!
