Cultivating Immortality Begins with Selling Oneself

Chapter 68: Follow the guidance
The head of the Shen family did not defend Mrs. Shen on this topic.

For a family to prosper, it naturally needs a large number of talented younger generations.

If Shen Mengning was still a talented girl, no one would have forced Mrs. Shen like this.

Xiao Taohong sighed slowly, "Although Madam Shen's methods are sometimes cruel, I still hope that Madam Shen can manage the household."

"Mrs. Shen is a good person. She clearly distinguishes rewards and punishments. As long as you don't do anything bad, Mrs. Shen won't make things too difficult for you."

Shen Fuyu looked thoughtful, and felt a touch of sympathy for Madam Shen in his heart. Facing the pressure from everyone, Madam Shen could almost be said to be going against the whole family, but Madam Shen managed to endure it.

She never showed any vulnerability or sadness in front of the Shen sisters.

No wonder Mrs. Shen suddenly fell ill. Carrying such tremendous pressure alone, Mrs. Shen would naturally be exhausted. Once a person's spirit is damaged, it is easy to be attacked by the disease.

Xiao Taohong continued, "Shen Yingfeng is also a bastard. He actually has such an inappropriate mind for his own sister-in-law. I secretly heard Shen Yingfeng threatening Madam Shen. If Madam Shen is willing to sleep with him for one night, Shen Yingfeng can help Madam Shen relieve the pressure and make everyone stop forcing Madam Shen."

After saying that, Xiao Taohong suddenly slapped her mouth.

Looking at Shen Fuyu's small figure, Xiao Taohong's eyes twitched. What a mouth she has! She really has no control over herself. Shen Fuyu is only 8 years old. What is she saying to Shen Fuyu? It would be bad if she led the child astray.

Xiao Taohong coughed lightly, trying to change the subject. "Anyway, that's what happened. Shen Fuyu, you don't have to worry too much. Madam Shen is not an ordinary person. She can handle this kind of pressure. I believe that Patriarch Shen is just facing some temporary crisis. In time, Patriarch Shen will definitely come back."

Servants have a deep understanding of whether their masters are good or bad.

Although Master Shen and Madam Shen are extremely strict in some aspects, they will not make things difficult for their servants for no reason.

They would never sell their servants at will.

Therefore, the servants were willing to protect the head of the Shen family and Madam Shen, and secretly prayed that Madam Shen could hold on.

Of course, they could only think about it in their hearts and dared not show any reaction on the surface.

After all, they are just servants and can't do anything.

Shen Fuyu clenched her fists, indignant. "Madam has worked so hard for the Shen family, but the Shen family doesn't know how to thank you. They even forced Madam to give up her power. What a bunch of money-grubbing people."

"Even if Madam gives up the power of housekeeper, do they know how to run the business?"

Xiao Taohong nodded suddenly, expressing her deep agreement with Shen Fuyu's words.

Xiao Taohong grew up in the Shen Mansion and could feel that the Shen Mansion was no longer as good as it used to be.

Even so, Mrs. Shen was still able to manage the Shen Mansion in an orderly manner, and no one could find any mistakes. This was enough to prove that Mrs. Shen was capable.

"Sister Xiao Taohong, thank you for telling me." Shen Fuyu's eyes were filled with emotion. "I knew that Sister Xiao Taohong treated me very well and treated me like her own sister."

After being intimate with Xiao Taohong for a while, Shen Fuyu suggested leaving, and then used the same method to make his presence felt in front of Hong Xing and Daya.

Hong Xing and Daya were so moved that they thought Shen Fuyu was a really nice person.

Even after becoming rich, they did not forget them and instead gave them gifts.

……

Shen Fuyu returned to the house and collapsed directly, his whole body revealing fatigue.

"what……"

Shen Fuyu took a sip of water and exhaled deeply.

After talking for a long time, my lips are dry.

Shen Fuyu already had a general understanding of what Mrs. Shen had encountered.

Although the Shen family appears to be wealthy and prosperous on the surface, it is actually not as prosperous as before, and the emperor no longer treats the Shen family with the same respect as before.

If there are no talented people in the next generation, they will definitely fall out of the four major families.

Shen Fuyu felt heavy-hearted. Her fate had long been tied to the Shen family. Prosperity and adversity were shared. If the Shen sisters couldn't succeed...

Shen Fuyu didn't dare to imagine what the consequences would be for the Shen family's lineage.

Shen Fuyu's eyes gradually became firm.

She decided!

No matter what method is used, the Shen sisters must be trained to become talents.

I wish them a smooth journey in the imperial examinations!

A good blacksmith must have strong tools himself. Shen Fuyu gradually came up with a plan in his mind and planned to ask Mrs. Shen to get a batch of past imperial examination papers.

Shen Fuyu just didn't believe that she could get top scores in the national college entrance examination.

Even in ancient times, the level of examinations would certainly not decline.

Even if the Shen sisters cannot learn it, Shen Fuyu will figure out a set of formulas and let them memorize them. The tactic of solving a large number of questions is useful in any dynasty.

After making up his mind, Shen Fuyu became more confident.

With plans for the future in mind, Shen Fuyu gradually fell asleep.

……

The next day.

"Shen Fuyu, my uncle's birthday party is in three days. Mother asked the teacher for leave for us, so we have three more days off."

Shen Mengwu's tone was excited. For her, she would be particularly happy as long as she didn't have to go to school.

Shen Fuyu's expression changed, and he said seriously, "Shen Mengwu, the teacher said that the elimination system will continue. Do you want to stay in the academy?"

"I am the eldest lady's servant. I must study no matter what."

Although Shen Fuyu is responsible for taking care of the two young ladies, the reason Shen Fuyu was originally bought was because Miss Shen needed a study companion.

Shen Mengwu's excitement seemed to be poured with a bucket of cold water, and she felt cold from beginning to end.

Should I study with Shen Fuyu, or practice martial arts alone at home?

Shen Mengwu prefers the former in her heart. She likes to be with Shen Fuyu, and Shen Fuyu will do some unconventional things with her.

And Shen Fuyu would not blame Shen Mengwu and say that her ideas were incorrect.

"Shen Fuyu, isn't there a third option? The three of us sisters could travel the world and become female knights who help those in need. Wouldn't that be cool?"

Shen Mengwu blinked her big eyes and tried hard to describe the scene to Shen Fuyu, trying to make Shen Fuyu agree with her.

Shen Fuyu patiently asked, "What is the purpose of being a hero?"

"I like their grateful eyes. It makes me feel satisfied." Shen Mengwu thought for a moment and answered Shen Fuyu seriously.

Shen Fuyu's voice revealed a hint of temptation, "Shen Mengwu, think about it, you were originally at the bottom of the class, but suddenly, your grades improved by leaps and bounds, you received praise from the teacher, and you left those who once suppressed you far behind. Don't you feel great?"

"At this time, you can tell them that you just don't want to learn. Once you learn, you will be better than them."

The scene described by Shen Fuyu suddenly appeared in Shen Mengwu's mind, and her expression gradually became expectant. She thought of the knowledge that Murong Yue was proud of.

If I could be better than Murong Yue...

Shen Mengwu couldn't imagine how angry Murong Yue would be.
