Seeing the two remaining silent, Yun Shuang stepped forward with a smile and spoke softly.
"Old Dowager, why are you here alone today? Where are Madam He and Madam Xie?
Aren’t they always by your side?"
The asked Madam Shen slightly opened her mouth but no sound came out.
After a moment, Shen Qingshan spoke up, "They are at the ancestral hall, offering incense and praying for blessings."
"Praying for Shen Ao?
That’s unnecessary. He died over a year ago.
Died by my hand."
Shen Han spoke softly, indifferently.
Upon hearing this, the two were taken aback.
Even You Wanying was dealt with by Shen Han, how could Shen Ao, this weak descendant, have escaped?
But hearing Shen Han say it out loud still made the two of them tremble inside.
"After all, he was your cousin..."
After a long silence, Madam Shen spoke, but as these words left her mouth, Shen Han couldn’t help but snort coldly.
"How many at Yun Mansion and Xiaoyao Peak lost their lives because of him?
Such a scourge, what right does he have to continue in this world?
Moreover, except when begging for mercy, did Shen Ao ever remember I was his cousin? At other times, he seemed more like an enemy.
If you want to meet him, I can send you on your way."
Shen Han spoke, and his words were enough to silence Madam Shen.
This old lady seemed already weak in body but still feared death.
Upon hearing Shen Han’s words, she didn’t dare to say anything further.
She was very sure that Shen Han would carry out such a deed.
Beside her, Shen Qingshan seemed to feel justified, and after a moment of thought, couldn’t help but speak.
"Shen Han, she was wrong before, but she is already at such an old age..."
Before he could finish, a look from Shen Han made him immediately shut up.
"Can old age cover up all past mistakes?
If that were true, then all thieves and villains in the world could just live to old age and all sins would vanish?
Would that not be encouraging people to commit evil, thinking that everything will be covered up as they age?
This logic is absurd.
The correct way is that any wrongdoing should be severely punished, regardless of their age or status in society.
That is the true justice in this world."
Shen Han spoke, and from every angle, it seemed difficult to argue that he was wrong.
Once he finished speaking, Shen Han didn’t bother to continue talking to the two.
He was only accompanying Yun Shuang today.
If she wanted to embarrass the Shen family, so be it.
Seeing Shen Han remain silent, Yun Shuang once again approached Madam Shen.
"Let me share another secret with you all: the resources and wealth of our Yun family now surpass that of the entire Great Wei.
We have also mastered the top-tier pills of the Southern Heaven Continent."
Saying this, Yun Shuang paused, a mocking smile spreading on her face.
"And all the techniques and pill formulas were taught by Shen Han to my father.
Unexpected, isn’t it?
Your looked-down-upon grandson not only has an outstanding talent in cultivation but is also top-notch in the Alchemy Dao.
Imagine, if you had treated Shen Han well from the start, what would the Shen family be like now?"
Looking at Madam Shen’s slightly twitching face, Yun Shuang felt a surge of satisfaction in her heart.
Moreover, even if Madam Shen was angry now, she dared not make any rebuttal.
She knew very well that Shen Han had no feelings for her.
Even if there were, they would be of annoyance and disgust.
Being spared even a remnant life was really quite favorable.
If she angered Shen Han, even if he didn’t act, just a hint of his displeasure would undoubtedly prompt others to take action to win his favor.
Everything she was experiencing now was the retribution for her past behavior.
Everything in this world has a cause and effect; her current situation was quite normal.
Seeing the two remain silent, Yun Shuang seemed to lose interest, preparing to see Madam He and Madam Xie.
Before leaving, Shen Han turned back to look at the two.
"From now on, you should lead a more humble life. You should experience the hardship I once endured.
No more living in the luxurious estate; build a wooden house in the fields around here and get by."
After saying this, Shen Han waved lightly.
It seemed as if a light breeze swept by, and the next moment, Shen Qingshan felt his cultivation abilities suddenly disappear...
Without cultivation strength and with Shen Han’s words, they truly had to live humbly now.
Looking at Shen Han’s back, Shen Qingshan didn’t even dare to utter a word in rebuttal.
Perhaps if he said one more word, he’d fare worse.
The two just silently watched, honestly enduring.
After years of living in wealth and luxury, experiencing a humble life now would almost be the death of them.
They walked inward.
Not far away, they saw Madam He rushing toward them in anger.
Upon seeing Shen Han and the others, her demeanor seemed as though she was ready to attack Shen Han.
However, she must have thought of something and turned her attack toward Yun Shuang.
But what could a person who hasn’t stepped into the path of cultivation do?
Before she even approached, she was frozen in place.
"Are you planning to make a move against us?"
Shen Han addressed Madam He coldly.
She had just heard from a servant that Shen Ao had died at Shen Han’s hand.
The immense anger in her chest drove her here, ready to confront Shen Han.
Madam Xie, gasping for breath, caught up from behind.
When she saw Shen Han and the others, her steps immediately froze.
"I can accept you making a move against me, but attempting to harm those around me, there will be retaliation."
As he spoke, Madam He instantly fell to her knees.
