The royal butler didn’t know where the Queen’s confidence came from.

Thank you readers!

But since she said so, she must have a plan.

Hence, the royal butler couldn’t help but have a moment of silence for Miss Shen in his heart.

Shen Ruojing took the three little ones upstairs and was about to enter the bedroom when Chu Cichen also followed.

The man asked with a serious face, “What happened?”

Shen Ruojing replied, “I noticed something off with the way the Queen looked at the three children, so I brought them up.”

Chu Cichen pondered for a moment and said, “Although our three children are good, they are not members of the royal family. She shouldn’t be doing anything crazy. But you’re right, we still need to be careful. What if she wants to kidnap one of the children?”

Shen Ruojing nodded but then shook her head. “I don’t think she would do anything that crazy.”

If the children of the Shen family were really lost, they could report it to the police.

This was China! Nowadays, China was no longer a country that could be bullied.

If the Queen dared to kidnap someone in China, Shen Ruojing believed that the police would be able to detain her even if she was a Queen.

Chu Cichen also thought that this was unlikely.

He looked at the three children and hesitated for a moment before saying, “Could it be that she’s interested in Xiaomeng?”

Shen Qianhui had been wandering outside and hadn’t returned home, which meant that there had been no marriage alliances in the Shen family for two generations.

Could it be that they were interested in Xiaomeng since Shen Ruojing had given birth to a female child?

Shen Ruojing was startled and her face turned cold. “That’s impossible!”

Chu Cichen only made a guess, but if the Queen really had such an idea...Chu Cichen’s eyes flashed with a sharp light.

Even if it meant exposing the identity of the Loong Corporation, he would have to stand up against them!

His daughter, Chu Xiaomeng, must never marry into Country A’s royal family!

However, after they both finished speaking, they fell silent for a moment and looked at each other.

Chu Cichen then coughed. “It shouldn’t be.”

Even if they really wanted to arrange a marriage, Xiaomeng was only a few years old. For marriage, they would probably have to wait until twenty years later. But the Queen’s character had always been paranoid, and if she had a grudge, it was impossible for her to wait for twenty years to take revenge.

“The three children shouldn’t come downstairs today no matter what,” said Shen Ruojing in a cold voice.

She then added, “I will ask my master to come and personally watch over them.”

Chu Cichen nodded. “Okay.”

Ever since his last visit, Old Hong had been staying at the Shen Manor.

His presence was a declaration of sorts that Valor Gate was fully on the side of the Shen family.

Today was Shen Ruojing’s birthday, and he had been here the entire time. He simply chose not to go downstairs to negotiate with the other three great families.

Shen Ruojing then invited Old Hong to help watch over the three children.

She also instructed the children, “You are not allowed to separate.”

Luckily, the three children were all sensible and obedient.

Seeing Shen Ruojing’s serious expression, they all nodded in unison. Chu Yu even spoke up, “Mommy, don’t worry, I’ll look after my little brother and sister.”

Chu Tianye rolled his eyes and kicked Chu Yu.

Old Hong smiled and watched the three children. When Shen Ruojing left, he suddenly spoke up, “Come, let me see which of you is a good material for martial arts training.’

Old Hong had come to the Shen Manor to support Shen Ruojing and evaluate the three children to see who would be a good candidate to inherit Valor Gate’s martial arts.

However, Shen Ruojing did not want the children to learn martial arts, so she had previously kept Old Hong away from them.

As the protagonist of the day, Shen Ruojing still had to make an appearance.

She and Chu Cichen finally walked down from the upper floor and saw that the banquet was about to begin. Today’s banquet was still in a Chinese-style setting.

The first table was reserved for the heads of the four great families, with the Queen seated in the first seat. At the moment, Shen Yuansong and the other three were clustered around the Queen, and Shen Ruojing, as the female head of the Shen family, naturally had to go over. Each of the other families also sent their female heads to sit together with them.

The Bai family was represented by Matriarch Bai.

The Xu family was represented by Matriarch Xu.

And the Rong family was represented by Matriarch Rong.

At the first table, Shen Ruojing was the only one from the younger generation, but she still maintained a calm and composed demeanor.

However, there were ten chairs at the table, and only nine people were currently seated.

The others then asked Shen Yuansong, “Where is Madam Shen? Let her come and sit with us.”

Shen Yuansong thought for a moment and asked the butler to bring Shen Qianhui over. Despite looking somewhat uncomfortable, Shen Qianhui sat down with grace. Perhaps it was because Shen Ruojing was beside her.

Shen Yuansong looked around the table and suddenly asked, “Where is Jing Zhen?”

Shen Qianhui put on a smile and said, “Dad, he’s not feeling well, so he didn’t come.’

Although no one said anything, the looks in their eyes carried a hint of mockery.

People began to whisper quietly, and some of their comments could be faintly heard. “I heard he’s a small-time actor who married into the family...”

‘Maybe he has never seen this kind of occasion before and is too scared to come...”

“It’s really embarrassing...”

Hearing this, Shen Yuansong felt his face flushing with embarrassment.

The Queen, meanwhile, chuckled, ‘They say that a good match is one between families of equal social standing. Old Shen, your son-in-law really isn’t much to speak of.”

She sneered. “If you had known your daughter would marry such a man, would you regret not sending her to me back then? At least, my son could still be considered a decent match.’

As soon as these words were spoken, Shen Yuansong’s face turned even grimmer. Old Master Bai next to her, however, grinned slightly.

Shen Qianhui immediately tried to explain. “He’s just used to being carefree and doesn’t like being controlled...”

Seeing his daughter still trying to defend that little pretty boy, Shen Yuansong took a deep breath and scolded her, “He’s not a woman, so why should he always be so submissive? Moreover, since he’s married into our Shen family, he’ll have to adapt to situations like this sooner or later!”

After finishing his tirade, Shen Yuansong turned to the butler and said in a low voice, ‘Go and bring him here even if you have to tie him up!”

Upstairs in his bedroom, Jing Zhen could hear everything that was being said. When he realized everyone’s attention had once again turned to him, he let out a sigh.

Oh well, he might as well go down.

He pushed open the door and descended the stairs..
