Before the word "refuse" was fully uttered, Jing Zhen's next sentence came:
"My opinion aligns with that of the elder! The Shens' son-in-law is indeed unfit for his duties, a pretty boy, so..."
With a turn in his sentence, Jing Zhen looked towards the second table, "Chu Yanshen, what makes you worthy of our Junjun?"
A metaphorical pot falling from the sky, Chu Yanshen: ???
Even Shen Yuansong didn't anticipate Jing Zhen's sudden turn of phrase...
He stared blankly at Jing Zhen, only to see the son-in-law wink at him with peach blossom eyes, obviously trying to help him...
After all, Shen Bijun is the Shens' eldest daughter, and Chu Yanshen is also a son-in-law of the Shens!!
Suddenly, Shen Yuansong burst into laughter.
The panic he felt upon learning Jing Zhen's identity dissipated at this moment.
