Short words were filled with blame and aggression.
The man in the black robe had a face as dark as the clouds at night, casting a sinister glance at the flickering-eyed owner of the tavern, Su Yan-Chu, as if warning him against his petty actions.
Feeling guilty, Su Yan-Chu touched his nose and looked at him with a hint of grievance and resentment. Who would have thought he would launch a surprise attack out of nowhere, especially through the back door? Sister Tang was no ordinary person; she was a trusted confidante of the two ancestors. Would they just let him leave like that?
What was the point of running this tavern then?
Moreover, facing one person was not as effective as facing everyone together. After all, it wasn't like they hadn't seen the tempers of the two ancestors before. Hadn't they been beaten and scolded enough?
After feeling wronged, he felt a sense of relief; today, he was finally not the main character. Someone else was taking the heat for him.
Amidst his excitement, the man in the black robe remained emotionless, speaking without a hint of feeling: "Grandpa and Grandma are getting old; they shouldn't be running around everywhere. The tasks given to the Shen Family by the Emperor are numerous and heavy; there’s no time to post missing person notices all over town."
With a gulp, Su Yan-Chu stared wide-eyed in shock, looking utterly cowardly. Once he regained his composure, he chose to remain silent.
Sister Tang felt countless black lines appear on her forehead. She timidly glanced at Master and Master's Wife, wondering whether avoiding Young Master would ultimately be a blessing or a curse. After a moment, she exchanged glances with the man in the black robe but dared not speak up.
Suddenly sensing that the atmosphere had shifted, she steeled herself and called out for the dishes to be served.
They had all witnessed the tempers of the two elders before; they were bold enough to reprimand even the Emperor. The Old Man was none other than Su Rong, a grand scholar from the previous dynasty and also the Emperor's mentor. The Old Man and Old Woman were renowned figures in the martial world known as the Poisonous Matriarch and were also the leaders of Tang Sect.
The couple's most beloved daughter, Su Tian, married Duke An Ding, Shen Rui, but gave birth to two troublesome sons, the eldest Shen Muhan and the second Shen Muqing.
At this moment, the man in black sitting by the window is Duke An Ding's Young Master, Shen Muhan. He is tall and handsome, with a perfect profile that is beyond reproach, and his cold demeanor highlights his regal presence.
He is well-versed in both literature and martial arts, earning the emperor's favor.
The emperor even intended to bestow upon him the title of Prince of a Different Surname, but he declined.
His brother, Shen Muqing, is the current Great General, stationed at the border. He has fought many battles and won them all, earning the title of Invincible General among the people. The two brothers each have their own merits and are considered ideal princes charming by many women.
However, they both avoid women like the plague, and their residence does not even have a single serving wife.
This has left Duke An Ding and his wife Su Rong in a state of anxiety as they search for suitable young ladies for their sons. Shen Muqing was forced to go to the border, where he has been for several years now, much to the distress of Duke An Ding and his wife.
Su Yan-Chu is the youngest son of the couple's second son, Suo Ao, and also a young master from the Prime Minister's Residence. He is two years younger than Shen Muhan and has just turned eighteen this year.
However, he does not enjoy the deceitful nature of officialdom, so he opened a restaurant under Sister Tang's name. Once he started this venture, he realized that he was quite suited for business, and it flourished remarkably.
Second Sister Su Xiuning has always admired Shen Muhan, and both families agree on a closer relationship. Yet Shen Muhan himself remains distant from it all, avoiding it as much as possible.
