Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower novel Chapter 2475

"Ok."

Once Jun Shi Lian settled everything with the city governor, he made his way to the Jun Family.

From the city governor, he found out that Jun Shi Mo hadn’t gotten married yet, but he had a fiancée from the Mian Family. It seemed that the Jun Family was hoping he could become an official to increase his own ’value’ before marriage.

Jun Shi Lian didn’t care too much, though.

He sneaked into the Jun Family Residence, using the familiar way he used to use when he was young to sneak out. Looking at the familiar place, Jun Shi Lian paused for a moment. The memories when he was young flashed within his mind, reminding him of the Jun Family treatment to him when he was still young back then.

The hypocritical family.

They would act as if they treat him well on the surface in front of others but he knew how much they beat him up every single day.

It was to the point that Jun Shi Lian wanted to run away so badly.

This hole was the one he dug over the years, just for that preparation.

But in the end…

He didn’t use it.

Taking a deep breath, Jun Shi Lian looked around to figure out the way before he started walking. ’The main family residence is this way.’

There were many guards in the Jun Family Residence. With their development over the years, it was clear that the Jun Family had prospered. They were no longer the same as how they used to be in the past.

Because of this, Jun Shi Lian knew very well that he had to be careful.

But…

He looked at the guards who were dozing off and there was a faint sneer on the corner of his mouth. As he had expected, these guards who worked for the Jun Family was so lazy that they were sleeping when they were supposed to work.

Not that Jun Shi Lian was surprised, though.

From the very beginning, Jun Shi Lian knew how stingy his father was and would always try to pick the cheapest option.

He completely forgot that there were reasons why these people would never be picked by others.

But for some reasons, the Jun Family managed to thrive…

It was a bit strange.

Jun Shi Lian sneaked past the guards and then headed straight into the treasure room. He walked inside and saw the pile of boxes inside and then checked the content one by one.

Gold, land deed, store deeds, and there were even servants deeds. His father should have bought a lot of servant to serve the Jun Family over the years and their contracts were kept here.

’He didn’t trust her, huh?’

Most of the time, the one who managed the house would be the wife. Because of this, the servant’s contracts were usually kept by the madam of the family.

But these contracts were all here, which told Jun Shi Lian that First Master Jun didn’t trust First Madam Jun as much as he thought. But it was precisely because of this woman that Jun Shi Lian’s life in the Jun Family was hell.

"Governor Nian," First Master Jun greeted politely. "Why did you call all of us here today?"

"I’m here to tell you that the war with Fan Yi Kingdom is over, which I’m sure you all know because it had spread," Governor Nian said slowly. "And there will be a lot of soldiers who are sent back to our city."

Sent back?

The nobles pretended to frown and First Master Jun also frowned.

This was because they knew that most of these soldiers came from relatively ordinary families and those who came from their families were limited.

After all, these nobles played some tricks so that the one sent to the frontline were not their favorite children but the abandoned children who were disliked in the family. In this way, even if those people died on the frontline, they would not feel anything.

"I don’t think it has anything to do with us."

"His Majesty requested that the city provide relief funds for these soldiers and after some consideration, me and a few other cities agreed that we need to jointly raise funds from the people," Governor Nian said calmly.

"What?"

"That’s…"

"No way…"

First Master Jun was also shocked.
