"Let go of the two families' grudges? Brother, you really will say something irrelevant in an understatement."

On Yue Ye, Chen Yueying looked at Shen Ziqiong who came to the door with a solemn look on his face, and was a little funny.

"The Li family is crazy and you are joining in this fun. Send a few children here and try to resolve the grudges accumulated over decades. How can such a good thing be done in the world? Fighting grudges are so easy to resolve. How could the Holy Sect spend time collide with the seven major families? Isn't it enough to directly select 500 boys and girls to act cute all over the world?"

After sarcasticting, Chen Yueying calmed down and asked, "But, brother, you have always ignored such mundane things. Why did you come to me for this matter today?"

Shen Ziqiong was very decisive: "Because they were introduced by Ziyu."

“…”

Shen Ziqiong said: "Tiyu's judgment will not be wrong. Since he thinks this matter is feasible, I will do my best to help him."

"It's because of this? You guy is simply unreasonable!"

"You are unreasonable. How excellent Ziyu is, aren't we still aware of our own family? How clever is his judgment? Have you never seen it? I trust his judgment, so what's wrong?"

Chen Yueying gritted her teeth: "Brother, do you know why Dad skipped you and chose Feihong as his heir?"

Shen Ziqiong answered decisively: "Of course, because he is excellent enough, he has the style of Ziyu."

"The naughty child with a tiger's back and a bear's waist doesn't look like Shen Ziyu?"

"Eyelashes." Shen Ziqiong was determined.

"..." Chen Yueying felt that she was feeling uncomfortable when she exhaled. She quickly activated her soul and calmed down, and then said seriously to her elder brother, "Brother, I don't care how much you admire Ziyu in your heart, but I can't let go of the past just because of his letter. Besides, the crux of this problem now is not me, and for my father, he is the lord of Shencheng. If he couldn't let go of the things that happened back then, what would it be if all the people below us gave up?"

When talking about the city lord Chen Ruoshi, even Shen Ziqiong frowned: "So, do you have any good solutions?"

"Me? Haha." Chen Yueying smiled self-deprecatingly, "Anyone has ever really had a way to do with his father over the years? Even if you highly praised Ziyu, he would have just broken up with him and just ran to the Holy Sect? But if you have to say that there is probably only that person in Shencheng, who can have some way to do with his father."

Shen Ziqiong asked: "Shocked?"

"Who else?" Chen Yueying said, "With his father's right-hand man, he can only meet at the city lord's house every day and report on his work. This kind of favor is far inferior to that of a biological child like you and me. So who should I look for? Brother, let's say that, if you can do a job that is so conscious, then why should I let go of my personal grudges and cooperate with the young boys of the Li family?"

Shen Ziqiong frowned: "I feel like you are playing the ball."

Chen Yueying said angrily: "Yes, so why don't you get out of here!"

——

After annoyed his sister, Shen Ziqiong had to find Chen Jinghai again and briefly talk about the matter. Sure enough, Chen Jinghai shook his head and chuckled.

"Ziqiong, you were deceived by Deputy City Lord Yueying. The crux of the matter is indeed the city lord, but half of the crux of the city lord is in Deputy City lord Yueying. If she doesn't let go, how could the city lord change her attitude?"

Shen Ziqiong was puzzled: "What?"

Chen Jinghai explained: "Outsiders think that the anger of the city lord is because Li Fengyun swept Shencheng, making the Shen family lose face. However, the city lord has been open and honest all his life, and is not a person who cannot afford to lose. How could he be angry for decades because of the failure of the younger generations?"

"So……"

"There are two biggest reasons. First, his beloved eldest daughter left the family because of the Li family and died young. Second, his beloved young daughter was also heartbroken by the Li family, and his soul was secretly hurt. Now, although Yue'e's affairs cannot be saved, the Li family sent Yue'e's daughter, which is also a wonderful move, so the first thing can be covered up. The problem is the second thing, what should Yueying do?"

Shen Ziqiong was already a little confused when he heard this: "What should I do?"

Chen Jinghai said, "At least, Yueying himself must forgive the Li family, so that the city lord can let go. Otherwise, no matter how hard I work, no matter how hard I work, it will be useless... Besides, as the city lord's right-hand man, how could I deliberately ignore the pain of family affection he suffered and persuade him to reconcile with the Li family? So, go find Deputy City lord Yueying, at least she needs to let go first so that I can speak."

——

Shen Ziqiong had no choice but to visit Chen Yueying again.

As expected, I was scolded.

"Do you know what time is now? Do you really think I am the model deputy city lord who works thirteen hours a day!?"

Chen Yueying, who was correcting official documents with a light, scolded her elder brother while drinking strong tea.

After Shen Ziqiong repeated the original words of Chen Jinghai with expressionless expression, Chen Yueying simply laughed out loud: "Haha, brother, you are so simple and cute. Do you believe that kind of nonsense? Who is Chen Ruoshi? The city lord of Shencheng, a top master in the top ten or even the top five stationery in the world, only defeated the sect leader of the Holy Sect when he was young. Such a person would be confused about the love between his children and for decades of his two daughters!?"

Shen Ziqiong asked, "Can't you?"

Chen Yueying glanced at the elder brother and asked, "You also received his 'fatherly love like a mountain' education back then. How do you feel?"

Shen Ziqiong frowned: "The memory is very vague. I only remember when I was about teenagers, my father said he would train us strictly and not fall into the Shen family style, but he couldn't remember what happened next..."

While speaking, Shen Ziqiong was circulating his soul and trying to dig out the memories of the past. However, for some reason, as the soul continued to trace back through the memory river, his body began to tremble involuntarily and his face was pale as paper.

"Enough." Chen Yueying stepped forward in time and reached out to hold Chen Jinghai. "Forgotten is also a good thing. Sometimes, people have to forget the pain before they can continue to move forward."

Shen Ziqiong looked up at the candlelight on Chen Yueying's table as if she was a different person, and said, "Suddenly I felt that the light is so beautiful."

"So you really believe that he will be struggling with his two daughters for decades? Those talented and stubborn figures have long since remembered their children's affair! Otherwise, how could he choose an outsider to be his right-hand man?"

Shen Ziqiong had to admit that her sister's analysis was really reasonable.

"So, Chen Jinghai just made an excuse to kick your ball back to me. If you really want to solve the problem, don't bother me and find someone who is really important."

"You... are actually playing the ball again, right?"

Chen Yueying said angrily: "Yes! So get away! Do you really think that I have nothing to do except educate my son and my crush on my brother like you?! If you bother me, I can't handle this batch of budgets, and my whole family will drink the northwest wind next year!"

——

"About this, I'll be back."

After returning to his own bamboo room, Shen Ziqiong told the whole story, and then looked at Chen Qingming and others with calm eyes, waiting for their reaction.

The group had been stunned for a long time.

Li Chaolu sighed: "You Shen family... are really good at playing."

Li Wanqing shrugged: "I understand now why, as the eldest son, you have not weak cultivation, but you were appointed as the Supreme Emperor. You only have the title of core high-level circle but have no dereliction of duty."

Shen Ziqiong didn't care about these criticisms and just said, "Anyway, the crux of the matter lies in these two people, and with me alone, it's hard to convince these two people. So you have to find a way for yourself next."

He paused and said with regret: "It's a pity that Ziyu is not here, otherwise with his intelligence, he would have been able to think of a solution."

Li Wanqing was not polite: "For example, would he go secretly to talk and laugh with Shen Ruoshi when pretending to be a guest named Yu? If he is really smart, he would not leave a letter from home that is useless and send us to Shencheng to watch the two deputy city lords' football game!"

Shen Ziqiong said: "In my opinion, things are not without a turnaround. Although Chen Yueying and Chen Jinghai are shirking each other, this attitude of shirking rather than directly rejecting can already explain the problem."

As soon as these words were said, Li Wanqing and others looked at each other, and they all felt that it made sense.

Shen Ziqiong also said: "I think that after decades, the resistance to many things should have softened a lot. Now it is just because of inertia, and there is only a lack of opportunity to break through. Neither of the two are truly impeccable, otherwise they would not use other people as excuses to beat the ball. And to make these two people change their attitudes... Although I don't have a specific way, I also know that when asking for help, there are only four key words: to what they like."

As soon as these words were said, everyone's impression of him was greatly reversed.

It turns out that this eldest son of Chen Ruoshi really knows how to think!?

While everyone was moved, Shen Ziqiong faced Wang Jiu and said, "Okay, I have already thought about everything I can think of. Next, can I return that book to me?"

Wang Jiuyang raised the book in his hand: "This is Shen Ziyu's observation diary today?"

"Yes, this is an important prop I used to relieve my nostalgia after Ziyu left home. Every word is my hard work, so I must not give in. If you are also interested in Ziyu's affairs, I can give you a few photos of us."

Such a serious matter made Li Wanqing and others unable to even mock him.

Wang Jiu had already read this observation diary, so he exchanged the book for Shen Ziqiong as he said.

After putting away the diary, Shen Ziqiong breathed a long sigh, as if a big rock in his heart had fallen to the ground. He paused and said, "Speaking of this, I have a full body portrait of Ziyu drawn by the painting master Luo Chuling. I'm in the collection room. Are you going to visit it?"
