Translator: Lordbluefire
On the day of Shen Ruojing’s birthday, the entire Shen family villa was bustling with activity since early in the morning. By the time of the noon banquet, everyone was already prepared.
Thank you readers!
The food was already on the table, but strangely enough, none of the expected guests had arrived yet.
The main guests were the four great families who were supposed to arrive at this time, and they were usually people who gave face to the Shen family.
Therefore, Shen Yuansong and Shen Ruojing were prepared to personally greet guests at the entrance.
As time passed and no one arrived, Shen Yuansong frowned and looked toward Butler Liu. Butler Liu immediately sent someone to check.
Five minutes later, someone returned and spoke to Butler Liu.
He was slightly surprised and then came over to report. “The Queen has arrived and is at the intersection of our street. The other three great families have also arrived but are afraid to cross the Queen and enter the house.”
Upon hearing this, Shen Yuansong’s face darkened.
The other three great families were secretly collaborating with him to show an attitude toward the Queen.
However, this was not the same as directly confronting her.

Anyone who did so would definitely end up on the Queen’s blacklist.
The Queen might not be able to take down all of the four great families in the capital at once, but she could certainly suppress one of them immediately.
Even the Shen family almost couldn’t hold on under the Queen’s suppression. As the other three great families had no enmity with the Queen, they would not be the first to stick their necks out.
This naturally created a stalemate.
If this stalemate could not be broken, then today’s birthday banquet was doomed to fail, and the collaboration of the four great families would be a joke.
Shen Yuansong understood this very well.
He remained silent for a moment and then spoke to Shen Ruojing, “Since they have all come, let’s go together to the intersection and invite them in. As the host, how can we let our guests stay outside?”
Shen Ruojing nodded.
The Shen Manor was very large, and this road was the only one leading to the Shen family.
Also, since the intersection was two kilometers away from the front gate, Shen Yuansong and Shen Ruojing got into their car and drove over.
As soon as they arrived at the intersection, Shen Ruojing saw that there were many vehicles piled up on the wide road.
A Rolls-Royce, exuding luxury, was parked at the intersection, not blocking the road but behind it. However, no other cars dared to drive past it and head toward the Shen Manor.
Shen Ruojing furrowed her eyebrows slightly.
It was evident that the Queen was inviolable in the eyes of these people.
While she was thinking about how to break the deadlock, Shen Yuansong suddenly pushed open the car door and got out. Shen Ruojing then followed him, supporting his arm.
Shen Yuansong was unsteady on his feet, and Shen Ruojing could feel him trembling. It was clear that he was not confident about confronting the Queen.
He approached the Queen’s car and lowered his head slightly before walking to the back seat.
After knocking on the car window and waiting for it to roll down, he smiled and said, “I didn’t expect you to come today. You’ve really made our humble abode shine. Today is my granddaughter Ruojing’s birthday, so why don’t you come in with us and have a simple meal?”
The Queen lazily sat in the car.
Because of her age, her wrinkles covered her face, and it was impossible to see her original features.
However, through that face full of years, one could tell that the Queen was a stunning beauty in her youth.
Her aging yet still shining eyes glanced at Shen Yuansong before she smiled and said, “No need for a simple meal. I’m sure the Shen family doesn’t welcome me. But since I’ve been in China for so long, I haven’t gone shopping in a while.
I’m just here to have a look around. Old Shen, how about it? This is your turf. Can I park my car here?’
Shen Yuansong was taken aback and quickly replied, “Of course you can. This road belongs to the country, and anyone can walk on it.”
The Queen smiled and said, “Oh, then I can rest assured.”
She then opened a nearby wine cabinet in her car, and the butler immediately poured her a glass of red wine.
The Queen lifted the glass and took a shallow sip before smiling and saying, “Hmm, this is a nice location for the Shen family. The surroundings are beautiful, and there’s even a small river crossing through your house. It has fascinated me, so I’m afraid I’ll have to stay and watch for a while. Old Shen, if you don’t mind, you can go back first. I’ll wander around and won’t disturb you.”

Shen Yuansong then looked toward the area behind her car. The people from the Bai family, Xu family, and Rong family had all arrived, and their cars were lined up side by side. Because each family brought too many people, each of them sent at least three vehicles, so they formed a long line.
Fortunately, this road only led to Shen Manor. Otherwise, it would cause a traffic jam.
The Queen followed the gaze of Shen Yuansong and also looked over.
She smiled faintly and said, “Old Shen, I don’t understand why they don’t dare to come over, but I’m not interested in whether they dare or not. I haven’t caused any trouble for your Shen family, have I?”
Shen Yuansong replied nervously, “No trouble, no trouble...” and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
At this moment, the Queen turned to the butler and said, ‘Go tell the three families that I want to drink here for another two hours. If they have something to do, they can go back first. ‘
The butler glanced at Shen Yuansong and then walked toward the three families. Shen Yuansong could only stay silent.
At this moment, if one family dared to come over, the other two families would follow suit. However, it was difficult to be the first one to take action. Shen Yuansong didn’t want to put pressure on the other three families either.
After the butler went over and said something, Shen Yuansong and Shen
Ruojing saw all the cars on the other side started. The first three cars in the front didn’t move, but the following cars slowly backed up and turned around.
Seeing this, Shen Ruojing narrowed his eyes and clenched his fists. What kind of unity among the four great families was this?
They couldn’t even attend a birthday banquet, and the Queen’s simple action already broke their so-called unity!
The Queen sneered. “It’s easy to add flowers to a brocade but hard to send charcoal in snowy weather. It seems that this saying is true. Old Shen, what’s the point of talking about unity? It’s just a joke! ”
Shen Yuansong tightened his jaw and sighed helplessly.
If they let the other families leave like this, the Shen family would become a laughingstock.
But just at this moment....
