A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 290 "Victory" Hot Pot

Yun Han returned to his usual office study, where various documents to be processed in the coming days were still piled up on the desk, but he was somewhat absent-minded.

A moment later, he rested his right elbow on the table, rubbed his temples wearily, and a look of worry flashed across his face.

After this incident, Shen Tang will definitely harbor resentment. Once she takes office, Qing Li's life will certainly be difficult, and she may even put a lot of pressure on the Yun family.

With a light tap of his long, slender fingers on the table, Yun Han sighed softly and called over Lin Yu, his most trusted subordinate, "Go and help me see what gifts are appropriate to give as an apology."

Lin Yu stood at the door, a look of shock flashing across his face. Heaven knows, he had followed the young master for so many years and had never seen this proud and arrogant young master of the Yun family apologize to anyone!

However, he was quick-witted and immediately understood the reason: "Young Master wants to apologize to His Highness Shen Tang, right?"

Rinyu wasn't qualified to go to the council, but she was aware of the recent uproar over the rumors. Fortunately, the truth finally came out, and the injustice was rectified.

He also heard that the young master and Shen Qingli had a big argument at the meeting, which was very unpleasant. The two are still in a cold war, which is why the young master didn't even go back to the hotel and came here to spend the night.

Even privately, many people were saying that Princess Shen Qingli was the mastermind. He didn't quite believe it at first, but after hearing what the young master said today, he naturally understood.

Rinyu secretly observed the man's silent expression, unsure of what to say.

Sigh, he originally thought Princess Shen Qingli was a good match for the young master, but he never expected things to turn out this way, which made him feel extremely complicated.

Thinking of Shen Tang's current beautiful and dazzling appearance, and the fact that her coronation ceremony will be held soon, her five beast husbands will also rise to prominence.

The Lu family, which was originally a rival to the Yun family, will naturally rise in status and will inevitably surpass the Yun family in the future.

These honors could have belonged solely to the young master.

If the young master hadn't broken off the engagement back then, the person standing next to this future monarch would be the young master now!

However, it was Yun Han who voluntarily gave up all of this.

Yun Han never mentioned the past again, but Lin Yu, having been by his side for so many years, could also discern a trace of his emotions.

He guessed that the young master must be regretting it now.

But what's done is done, and nothing can be changed.

The young master will personally attend the coronation ceremony a month later, and witness the harmonious scene of Shen Tang and her five beast husbands. It's hard to know how he will feel.

Lin Yu concealed her myriad thoughts, not wanting to make the young master feel even more distressed, and considerately said, "The clan is busy with affairs, it's just a gift, the young master doesn't need to make the trip in person, I can deliver it for you."

Yun Han lowered his eyes to look at the increasingly messy handwriting on the paper. After a moment of silence, he said in a low voice, "After all, it is an apology rather than good news. Only by personally going to apologize can we show sincerity."

Rinyu didn't say anything more and went to prepare.

……

Going back to a few days ago, Shen Tang and his group separated from the main force and returned to the city very late.

Most of the houses in good locations in the city have already been rented or sold.

Later, out of consideration for the imperial princess, someone sold them a somewhat old villa near the city outskirts.

This place was originally where the landlord's elderly family members lived, but they passed away a few years ago, and it has been empty for several years since.

The house had been uninhabited for so long that the rooms and yard were covered in a thick layer of dust. In addition, the heavy snow from a few days ago had not been cleared and had piled up all over the yard, leaving a lot of water after it melted.

The accommodations aren't as luxurious as a hotel, but they are spacious with many rooms, and the surrounding scenery is quite nice. It even has its own small courtyard, making it a relaxing and comfortable place.

On their first day after moving in, Lu Xiao and the others set off to tidy up the yard. Shen Li was in charge of clearing the snow piled up in the yard.

He dawdled, sweeping for only a couple of seconds before taking advantage of Shen Tang's absence to fly over with a foxfire, burning all the snow and water in the yard, almost setting the yard on fire.

Fortunately, he controlled the fire well, and it turned out to be a false alarm.

Xiao Jin is strong and capable of doing heavy work.

Shen Tang then arranged for him to move out the old furniture in the house and throw it away.

The house is dark and damp year-round, and most of the old wooden furniture has been eaten away by insects and ants, leaving only empty shells. It is completely unusable and new furniture needs to be purchased.

Lu Xiao was in charge of arranging the furniture and furnishings. After asking Shen Tang about her preferences, he drove over and brought all the newly purchased furniture and appliances.

Jialan and Xueyinzhou had nothing else to do, so they went to tidy up the house.

As a prince of the sea tribe with noble birth, Jialan had never done such rough and tiring work before.

As soon as he entered the house, he smelled the damp, dusty odor. With a quick glance, he also saw layers of cobwebs covered in dust on the corner of the room.

"It's so filthy! There's not even a place to rest." Jialan pinched her nose, looking uncomfortable, and almost turned away.

But since he has water-based superpowers, he's best suited for cleaning and sweeping.

At least this job is easier than Xiao Jin's.

He had no choice but to bite the bullet and get to work. He worked diligently, eager to clean the house as quickly as possible, not wanting to stay a moment longer!

Xue Yinzhou didn't say much, but brought out a mop and rags and started cleaning the room.

The five beast-men took over all the housework, leaving Shen Tang with nothing to do but occasionally go over and help out.

In less than half a day, the six of them had tidied up the house and yard in an orderly manner, and the newly purchased furniture and appliances had been installed. Finally, they could get a good night's sleep.

Seeing that the yard was too empty, Lu Xiao thought of dividing it into several areas and leaving a space for a garden or vegetable garden, so he built a hanging basket next to it.

The courtyard is empty in the middle, which is a good place to have a meal together.

Back to that day, Shen Tang planned to have an outdoor hot pot meal to celebrate the victory in the counterattack.

The dead of winter is the perfect time to enjoy hot pot.

Xiao Jin and the others recalled the last time they ate hot pot, which was on that old, dilapidated spaceship flying from the polluted land to the Empire. The unique taste on their tongues was something they still fondly remembered!
However, as the weather got hotter, Shen Tang became too lazy to eat hot pot anymore.

In the dead of winter, setting up a table in the yard and having a steaming, piping hot hot pot with the whole family is an incredibly wonderful experience!
"If you hadn't told me sooner, I would have gone to prepare the ingredients earlier." Jialan is also a foodie, and she is usually too lazy to go hunting, but she is much more enthusiastic now.

Shen Tang knew that Jia Lan preferred seafood to land-based ingredients, and she also quite liked it. She licked her lips and smiled, "It's not late yet. It will only take you an hour to go back and forth. Hurry up, or it will really get dark. Remember to catch plenty of fish and shrimp. I want to make fish balls and shrimp paste!"

Jialan didn't know what the fish balls and shrimp paste she was talking about were, but she was sure they would taste delicious, so she didn't say anything more and went out hunting.

Kongdu City was a port city with many rivers and waterways nearby, and one could swim directly into the sea along the moat.

In a secluded forest outside the city, there was a clear river. Jialan plunged into the water and, after a few laps, caught several fresh fish and threw them into the bucket she had brought.

However, in the dead of winter, the fish are not very fat, and they don't feel very meaty.

Jialan shook her wet hair, then plunged back into the water, whipping her tail as she swam to a more distant part of the sea.
