Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

Shen Sanfeng then remembered that although he had adopted Gu Chan as his godson for such a long time, he had never told her the specific details about his grandchildren.

He sighed deeply and said with a wry smile, "Before Shen Yao, he had a first wife. After giving birth to twins, she died of heavy bleeding. Now Shen Yao's mother, to be precise, should be the second wife of the Shen family."

"So that's how it is! I always thought that Shen Yao's mother was the eldest lady of the Shen family!" Gu Chan said with relief.

After saying that, she glanced at Shen Wuji, her face full of disdain.

This bastard, after his first wife died, he not only married a second wife, but also had an affair with a maid. That maid gave birth to his third child, Shen Yang. Not only was he not nice to her, he also disliked her in every way, and even disliked Shen Yang.

This kind of man not only has no sense of responsibility, but also treats feelings as a joke. He is definitely a scumbag.

If it weren't for the fact that she recognized Shen Sanfeng as her godfather, Gu Chan would have killed him long ago.

Shen Sanfeng added, "The twins have been smart since they were young. When they were seven, I sent them to Qixing Mountain to learn skills. Now, more than ten years have passed, and they have not left the mountain yet!"

"Then godfather, now is the time to call them all back. It will also be a good opportunity for me to meet my eldest nephew and niece." Gu Chan said with a smile.

Shen Sanfeng nodded without comment.

Then he stopped hesitating and immediately called a servant, ordering him to go to Qixing Mountain to deliver the message.

After the servant agreed, he quickly went to pack up his things and soon left on a fast horse.

Gu Chan did not mention this matter for the time being, and instead said, "Godfather, now that the border has been recovered, the Shen family's real estate and land over there have also been taken back. You must quickly arrange for someone to go over there to guard the ancestral property, otherwise, if time passes and it is occupied by others, then the Shen family will suffer a great loss."

"Wuji, Shen Yao, you and your sons should take your family members and go back to the border to guard our ancestral property!" Shen Sanfeng made the decision immediately.

The father and son are useless to begin with, so the best outcome is to let them go back to guard the ancestral property.

And to put it bluntly, even if they go bankrupt, at least there is old man Shen Sanfeng looking after them. It doesn't matter if they go bankrupt, as long as they don't ruin the entire Shen family.

But the father and son were not happy about this.

In their eyes, they felt good about themselves and thought that with their abilities, returning to the border to guard their ancestral property was a waste of their talents.

Shen Wuji was the first to complain, "Dad, I won't go back to the border. I am a man of great talent. How can I go back to that remote place to guard my ancestral property? Aren't you burying my talent?"

"Grandpa, my father is right. I also want to become an official in the court and rise to a high position. If you ask me to go back to guard our ancestral property, I won't go." Shen Yao said with a calm face.

Shen Sanfeng was immediately furious with them.

Not only are these father and son incompetent, they are also very arrogant. They have no idea of ​​their own capabilities. How can one not be angry?

Seeing that the old man was so angry that he was shaking all over and even unable to speak, Gu Chan simply laughed and said, "Since you have ideals and ambitions, I think this Zhongyuan City is too small and it is not conducive to your development at all."

"What Second Uncle said makes sense." Shen Yao said hurriedly with a smile.

"Then let's put it this way. This time the emperor sent me to Jiangnan to raise money to rescue the border, and I happen to be short of manpower. Why don't you two, father and son, come with me and show your skills? If we can raise money to solve the border problems, I will write a memorial to the emperor telling him about your achievements. If the emperor is very pleased, he will reward you with an official position. That will be a small matter, right?" Gu Chan said cunningly.

Going to Jiangnan to raise money is a tough job for her, and the worst case scenario is that if she fails to do her job well, she will lose her head. Since the father and son are so ignorant, it is better to let them go with her and taste the bitterness, and then see if they dare to act so pretentiously again.

Shen Sanfeng naturally understood that Gu Chan's trip to Jiangnan this time was definitely not good.

But he had to admit that this was indeed the best opportunity to train the father and son. If they could not prove themselves in Jiangnan, they would only be able to go to the border to guard their ancestral property and would never achieve anything in their lives.

Of course, he was also worried that the father and son were not capable enough and would only cause trouble for Gu Chan if they went there. In the end, Gu Chan would not be able to complete the task and would lose her head.

So you can imagine how conflicted he is at this moment.

On the other hand, Shen Wuji and Shen Yao had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem. Instead, they thought it was a great opportunity to rise to the top.

Shen Wuji immediately agreed and said, "Okay, then, second brother, we, father and son, will accompany you to Jiangnan this time."

"Yes, yes, isn't it just to go to Jiangnan to raise some money for the emperor? It's not a big deal. We will definitely help you complete the task. We just hope that when your second uncle submits the memorial, he will say a few good words for us in front of the emperor." Shen Yao said excitedly.

"That's for sure. We are all family. I will definitely say good things for you." Gu Chan said with a smirk.

The father and son immediately burst into laughter.

Gu Chan didn't want to say anything more, so she looked at Shen Sanfeng and said, "Godfather, I'll go back first. When my nephew and niece come back, you can send someone to notify me. Then I'll come over to test them."

"Where are you going now?" Shen Sanfeng asked.

"I'm going to the Central Plains camp to meet the newly appointed general sent by the emperor." Gu Chan said.

Shen Sanfeng's expression suddenly turned serious. "When you arrive at the Zhongyuan camp, you must be careful. I heard that the new general has a bad temper. Be careful not to provoke him."

"I just heard someone mention him on my way back. I don't know who this new general is." Gu Chan said curiously.

"He is the prince's direct descendant. It can be said that he was completely trained by the prince himself. And you are the ninth prince's man. You are also the ninth prince's sworn brother and the seventeenth prince of Tiancang Kingdom. He will definitely not treat you well." Shen Sanfeng reminded.

Gu Chan was silent for a while after listening.

As expected, nothing good would happen if one was associated with the royal family.

Before she traveled through time, the ancient world she lived in had a history of nine sons competing for the throne, with each fighting to the death. Now that she has traveled through time to this world, it is still the same.

The old emperor of Tiancang Kingdom has many sons, sixteen in total. If so many sons were to fight over something, it would probably be much more brutal than the nine sons fighting for the throne.

"Gulu!"

Thinking of all this, Gu Chan couldn't help but swallow her saliva, and felt a little scared in her heart.
