"Okay, I trusted you at first and didn't go through the proper procedures, that was my biggest mistake."

  Shen Fuling first spoke in a tone that stunned everyone, thinking that this would allow him to regain the initiative regarding this matter. However, he didn't think about how from the beginning, he had obtained the operating rights of Qixiang Pavilion through abnormal means. Under Shen Youxi's indifference, he thought that being the boss of Qixiang Pavilion was nothing special.

  But now that Shen Youxia has realized his mistake and is correcting it, Shen Feiling's words and actions will not bring him any substantial help. On the contrary, they will lower Shen Jing's impression of him, thereby affecting Shen Jing's judgment on this matter, which will in turn affect the ownership of Qishang Pavilion.

  "Shen Feiling, since you keep saying I deceived you, let's report it to the authorities."

  Shen Youxia didn't bother to entangle with these people anymore. Since they thought the options she provided were not good enough and wanted more, then let's just hand it over to the government. It would also save her own trouble from continuing to deal with these annoying guys.

  As soon as Shen Youxia said she wanted to report to the authorities, Shen Fuling immediately became flustered and knelt on the ground. "Master Hou, look at my cousin, always talking about reporting to the authorities, this is completely disregarding the face of Dingguo Hou Mansion and the Shen family."

  "Shen Feiling, don't try to divert the topic with your clever words here."

  Shen Youxia was indeed annoyed, originally prepared to gather and disperse, but after letting Shen Weiling's family of three toss about like this, Shen Youxia didn't have the slightest intention of continuing to tolerate them, only hoping to quickly resolve everything.

  "If Fuling doesn't want to report to the authorities, then how do you want me to resolve this matter?"

  In the past, people in the Shen family's old house would take advantage of themselves if they wanted to, and Shen Jing didn't care about those things. He always felt that he couldn't let outsiders see the discordant appearance of the Shen family. However, at this moment, Shen Fuling and Shen Youxia were at a standoff, and even in the face of overwhelming evidence, Shen Fuling still refused to back down, his expression was really ugly.

  For Shen Jing, a martial general who has been in the officialdom for decades, Shen Feiling's small abacus is clear at a glance, but it is indeed not taken seriously.

  Listening to Shen Jing's words, Shen Fuling felt that Ding Guo Hou's heart was not pleasant. He didn't know what he should say now, so he directly knelt there, lowering his head and not speaking.

  "Fuling, now I'll let you say what you want. Just speak directly, if you don't say anything, I'll do it according to Xia'er's idea."

  Shen Jing said with a hint of meaning, glancing at Shen Zhong and his wife. Although Shen Zhong was heartbroken that Qi Xiang Ge had been taken back by Shen You Xia, he was more worried that if they completely fell out with the Ding Guo Hou Fu, they would not be able to get any benefits from them in the future. So when he heard Shen Jing's words, he suddenly felt his heart racing with fear.

  "Fuling, since Master Hou has asked you, just tell the truth and Master Hou will take care of it for you."

  Shen Zhong worried that his son was blinded by money, unable to distinguish between right and wrong, and offended the Dingguo Hou Mansion. This remark served as a warning to Shen Weiling and also gave Shen Jing a boost of confidence.

  Shen Fuling was originally a clever person, and he came to find Ding Guo Hou. He didn't think that he could still get Qi Xiang Ge back from Shen You Xia's mouth again.

  After hearing Shen Jing's words and understanding Shen Zhong's hint, Shen Fuling straightened his waist and knelt upright.
