Quick, female general, I traveled through time to save my father

Chapter 337: The Mother of the Bomen Raises Her Stepson 4

Shen Junbao, who was held in Sirong's hand, seemed to react at this time.

His aunt, who was a high-ranking official, did not come back to bring him delicious food, nor did she come to thank them.

He wanted to beat his parents just because of that bastard Shen Junyao.

Bad woman! "

Shen Junbao's fat face turned red, and he twisted desperately in Sirong's hands like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

"You bad woman! Let me go!"

He waved his short, thick arms, trying to grab Sirong's face, but she easily avoided it.

A child who has been spoiled since childhood will even act foolishly and innocently when he throws a tantrum.

Seeing that he couldn't catch Sirong, Shen Junbao was so angry that he stamped his feet and threatened without thinking: "When my second uncle comes back, I will tell him to divorce you!"

He thought that "divorce" was a powerful weapon that could scare Sirong into kneeling down and begging for mercy.

Unfortunately, Sirong didn't even raise her eyebrows. She just glanced at him with a half-smile and said lightly:

"Oh? Then you try it."

Shen Junbao choked, obviously not expecting this trick to not work, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.

"Humph!"

"Even if you dare to act arrogantly now, you'll be scared when my second uncle comes back."

He glared at Shen Junyao fiercely, his eyes full of resentment: "It's all your fault, you bastard! If it weren't for you, how could my parents have been beaten?!"

Shen Junyao had his head down, but when he heard this, his fingers unconsciously clenched the corners of his clothes.

Sirong sneered and suddenly let go.

Shen Junbao was caught off guard and fell to the ground with his butt, grimacing in pain.

Before he could get up and cry, Sirong was already looking down at him from above, her voice steady but every word piercing her heart:

"I don't know whether your second uncle will divorce me."

"But I know that if you dare to scold Shen Junyao again..."

She bent down slightly, stared into Shen Junbao's eyes, and whispered, "I will let your parents take ten more lashes."

Shen Junbao opened his mouth wide and forgot to cry for a moment.

He stared blankly at Sirong, then at his parents who were pinned to the ground.

This "bad woman" was serious. She would really beat his parents. Just because he scolded Shen Junyao?

Shen Junbao stiffened his neck. He was obviously scared, but he still refused to bow his head.

"Why? He's just a son of a bitch that no one wants!"

He was like a little beast forced into a corner. Even though his claws were not sharp enough, he still showed his teeth in protest.

Sirong did not get angry immediately. Instead, she narrowed her eyes slightly and looked carefully at the gangster in front of her.

Stubborn, unyielding, and even a bit reckless.

He has the shadow of Shen Shishan.

If someone could guide him well and send him to the army to hone his skills for a few years, perhaps the Shen family would be able to produce another powerful general in the future.

pity……

Sirong's gaze passed over Shen Junbao and fell on Shen Shishan and his wife who were being held down by guards in the distance.

Greedy, mean, and short-sighted.

What good seedlings can such parents raise?

She shook her head gently, and the regret in her heart instantly dissipated.

Her target was not Shen Junbao, so she turned around and looked at Shen Junyao.

This little guy is thin and frail, with a hint of childish innocence in his eyes, but at the same time, he is more calm and understanding than his peers.

I guess before Sirong came here, this child had resisted this kind of treatment, right?

It was just that she had been starving for a long time and had been beaten and scolded, so her physical condition was not very good. But Sirong could see something called disrecognition in Shen Junyao's eyes.

Let’s review the plot. After bringing Shen Junyao back to the Earl’s Mansion, the original owner simply threw him into the most remote courtyard and didn’t even send a decent nanny to take care of him.

It was as if it wasn't her own flesh and blood, but an old, unsightly object. Out of sight, out of mind.

Later, when the mighty Earl Shen Shigen returned from the battlefield, his brows were furrowed so tightly that they could kill a fly when he saw Shen Junyao for the first time.

"Why are you so thin like a sick cat?"

He looked up and down at his son, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, his tone full of disappointment.

No one asked him how he had been doing these years, nor did they care why he was so thin.

They just disliked that he was not tall and strong enough, and did not look like a son of a general.

What's even more ironic is that Shen Shigen is particularly tolerant of Shen Shishan's family.

After Shen Shigen came back, Shen Junyao also told him that he had a bad life at his uncle's house after he left, and was even beaten and abused.

Not only did he not pursue the matter of their abuse of Shen Junyao, but he also supported Shen Shishan's family everywhere.

Shen Junbao was thrust into the army and made a small lieutenant. He was even praised for his courage and insight, as if he had inherited the family heritage of the Shen family.

It was as if they were his closest relatives, and Shen Junyao was just an insignificant outsider.

In this environment, Shen Junyao understood that his path to military success had long been blocked. In his father's eyes, there was no place for him at all.

So he chose another path, studying, taking the imperial examinations, and becoming a civil official.

When Shen Junyao first proposed to take part in the imperial examination, Shen Shigen threw the teacup on the spot.

"My Shen family rose to prominence through military exploits, and you're going to become a pedantic scholar?!"

He pointed at Shen Junyao's nose and cursed: "Those civil officials in the court often mock us warriors, and you are rushing to join them?!"

At the beginning, when Shen Junyao showed his talent in learning, Wu Weibo also admired him very much, but this was different from his willingness to let his son become a civil official.

Perhaps he didn't want the day when his son and he were both in the court to have his son hold a higher official position than him, or perhaps he was afraid of being scolded by those sour Confucian scholars and was afraid that one day his son would say something to him that he couldn't understand and couldn't refute.

But Shen Junyao at that time no longer cared about these things. From childhood to adulthood, there had never been anyone around him who stood behind him and supported him.

When he was young, his goal was to survive, and it remained the same when he grew up.

Although the original owner at that time did not give birth to her own children, after Shen Shigen came back, the original owner gave him several concubines. Shen Shigen himself was not idle either. He accepted all the beauties sent by his colleagues and subordinates.

Therefore, there are many illegitimate sons and daughters in the family.

Since there is no legitimate son in the family, everyone's target of attack becomes Shen Junyao.

Although he has always lowered his presence in the Shen Mansion, it is an indisputable fact that he is not favored despite being the eldest son.

Sirong looked down at Shen Junyao, who was now short, and waved to him, signaling the little guy to come over. She gently touched the top of his head.

Shen Junyao froze. No one had ever treated him like this before. It was so gentle that he felt a little overwhelmed.

"Do you want to defeat him yourself?" He pointed at Shen Junbao.

Shen Junyao lowered his head and thought for a moment, then looked up at Sirong: "I do!!!"

Sirong smiled. It wasn't a perfunctory smile, it wasn't a joke. It was a smile of genuine trust.

"Okay, let's try it." She gently pushed Shen Junyao's back and pushed him next to the little fat man.
