After noon, Shen Ye and Luo Zuchen had just finished their lunch.
Madam Shen and Shen Lingsheng had already arrived in the Capital City.
They should have arrived in the Capital City long ago, but delays here and there led to them arriving only now.
Women like Madam Shen and Madam He, who have always stayed within the residence.
They were extremely resistant to seeking Shen Han to ease relations.
That day, Shen Qingshan had already made a decision, and afterward, they talked to Shen Qingshan several more times.
In their words, they spoke various criticisms about Shen Han.
Madam Shen even shed tears, asking Shen Qingshan to consider her years of hard work and not to torment her.
If the Shen Family were to submit to Shen Han, who knows how this junior might defy her in the future...
But these suggestions were something Shen Qingshan could not accept at all.
Or rather, the decision he made was one of reluctance.
Facing so many great obstacles before the Shen Family, the most difficult to overcome now was the demand for Pills.
In Great Wei, apart from the northern military, middle-grade Pills had not been widely adopted yet.
Other armies, such as the Forbidden Army and the Northeast Garrison, each and every soldier.
The Pills in the soldiers’ hands have all been replaced with middle-grade Pills.
The previously used low-grade Pills have been completely phased out.
The northern army is still fine since the Su Family’s decisive victory over the Qi Country army seven years ago, the north has been at peace without war for many years.
Even though there are complaints among the soldiers, it’s still manageable.
After all, judging from the current situation, the north will remain peaceful.
No war means it’s acceptable for the benefits to be slightly worse.
But for the Eastern Garrison, it’s different.
The border area between Great Wei and Yan Country often experiences skirmishes.
Soldiers truly need to go to the front lines and fight the enemy.
In such a situation, the benefits are much worse compared to the Forbidden Army and the Northeast Garrison.
The soldiers are bound to cause unrest.
The Pills bought from the Yun Family at sixty percent of the price are running low.
It’s not that Shen Qingshan wants to ease tensions with Shen Han and rope him in.
But he has no choice, he must do so.
Furthermore, the current achievements of Shen Han’s strength.
Fifth Grade, First Snow Realm, age nineteen.
Even without considering the Pill aspect, Shen Han is worth allying with.
In front of Madam Shen, Shen Qingshan no longer hides anything.
If they can’t get along with Shen Han, then relying on the Yun Family for Pills is hopeless.
Once the middle-grade Pills in hand are exhausted, the Pills needed by the army must either be supplemented by the Shen Family to cover the deficit.
Or they must continue using low-grade Pills.
But when it comes to people’s hearts, it’s not about scarcity, but about inequality.
If a mutiny occurs in the army, the Shen Family would be doomed.
"As the Old Dowager of the Shen Family, of course, you have the right to offer opinions.
Tell me, old woman, what other methods are there to overcome the current difficulties?"
Shen Qingshan’s heartfelt words finally made Madam Shen understand.
The current predicament of the Shen Family is very difficult...
"I understand, Master...
We should first use the relationship with Shen Han to get some Pills from the Yun Family.
We can talk about how to treat Shen Han in the future."
The two finally reached an agreement at this moment.
At least, they need to weather the current predicament first.
Madam Shen and Shen Lingsheng rented an inn in the capital.
This makes it much quieter when discussing matters.
Originally, the two wanted to call Shen Ye out to the inn to talk and meet him first.
But as soon as they moved in, they heard a widely circulated news.
