"Shen Rongfu..."

If Shen Tong didn't recognize this name, he should be expelled from the house.

Shen Tong didn't expect that the person he complained about was his father.

He never asked about Shen Rongfu, but occasionally heard his mother mention that his father was silently subsidizing some students.

Shen Tong didn't take it to heart, it wasn't something worth noting to him.

But Shen Rongfu turned out to be Ling Yuan's sponsor. After searching for so long, he found out that it was his own head. Shen Tong felt that this feeling was really strange.

So Ling Yuan's strange attitude towards him is because of his father?

Because he was sponsored by Shen Rongfu since he was a child, he knew of Shen Tong's existence, and Shen Tong had never paid attention to who his father sponsored, so he didn't know Ling Yuan.

If only it were that simple.

But Shen Tong is not stupid, he knows that this cannot be the truth.

The Yuandu Star is several galaxies away from the Imperial Capital Star. How could Shen Rongfu just happen to sponsor Ling Yuan? Before receiving his sponsorship, Ling Yuan had been living in an orphanage and even disappeared for three years since he was five years old.

When Ling Yuan reappeared, he was sponsored by Shen Rongfu.

This is really a coincidence, if there is no secret between them, Shen Tong would not believe it.

It seems that his old man is hiding something from him.

Shen Tong stroked his chin, thinking that his father wouldn't be doing something big behind his back.

But since it was Shen Rongfu who sponsored Ling Yuan, no matter what the reason for the sponsorship was and what Ling Yuan's status was, at least one can be sure that Ling Yuan would not threaten him, and might even become his helper.

As for what his father kept from him, just ask him directly.

Shen Tong made up his mind to have a heart-to-heart talk with his father, but recently Shen Rongfu was busy with work and went on a business trip to other planets. Shen Tong stayed at home for five days, and his bones became soft. Shen Rongfu still did not come back.

Shen Tong is eating, drinking and having fun these days, he is very happy, in his free time, he invites a lot of friends to play games, so he has a good life, and the improvement is rosy.

Shen Tong placed an order in the mercenary association, asking them to go to the deep mountains and old forests to get some eyes and hearts of wild beasts for him. Although the price of these mercenaries is not low, fortunately, the efficiency is high enough.

He had a good time these few days, but after Fu Yiyun left that day, they never met again.Shen Tong inquired about the news and knew that there was nothing wrong with him, it was just that the military department had a lot of things to do recently, so he couldn't get away, so he was relieved.

It's even more fun to play.

It's just that after playing like this for five days, Shen Tong didn't wait for Shen Rongfu to come back, but instead waited for an invitation letter from the palace.

When Shen Tong walked to the stairs that day, he saw Mrs. Shen holding a bright yellow letter in her hand, sitting on the sofa blankly, looking at a certain place blankly, wondering something.

"Mom?" Shen Tong walked over, sat down on the single sofa next to Mrs. Shen, took out a washed apple from the fruit basket on the table, and took a bite, "What's the matter?"

Shen Tong raised the hand holding the apple towards the letter in Mrs. Shen's hand, and asked her suspiciously: "What is this?"

Mrs. Shen looked at Shen Tong with a complicated expression, and unconsciously clenched the hand holding the letter paper.

Seeing that Mrs. Shen's expression was wrong, Shen Tong slowed down the speed of chewing apples, and subconsciously sat up.

Madam Shen handed him the letter in her hand.

Shen Tong took it with one hand, looked carefully, and found that it was not a letter at all, but an invitation letter from the royal family.

Invite the Shen family to a ball at the royal court.

prom?

Since the princes began to fight openly and secretly, the atmosphere in the palace has been delicate, and the balance of various forces seems to be broken with just a breath of wind.

The palace in this atmosphere has not held a ball for several years.

This time, how could there be a dance party suddenly?

Shen Tong looked at the name of the inviter, which was stamped with the great seal of the royal family, and only then did he thoroughly confirm the authenticity of this invitation letter.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

Shen Tong didn't want to be involved in the royal family's melting pot of open and secret fights, so he threw the invitation letter on the table and said, "No."

Mrs. Shen looked at her son, and the worry in her heart was replaced by a smile for a moment: "This is an invitation letter from the royal family. Can you just refuse to go if you don't want to go?"

Shen Tong didn't care at all and said: "The time for the dance is set for tomorrow night. The old man is in the south now, so he definitely won't be back in such a short time, so it's normal that he can't go."

Mrs. Shen was not as relaxed as he was. Looking at her son's nonchalant face, she couldn't help poking his head with her index finger.

"Little idiot, aren't you from the Shen family? Even if your father is not here, you have to go."

After Mrs. Shen finished speaking, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes again. If possible, she would definitely not want her precious son to enter the palace.

Mrs. Shen had entered the palace once when she was young, and she also attended a ball in the auditorium.At that time, she was not as excited as her companions, marveling at the magnificence of the palace, but felt the oppression coming from all directions.

That place was like a quagmire, her Tongtong was so innocent, what would she do if she was hurt when she went to such a place.

Besides, although their family is also an aristocrat, it is actually just an earl's name, and it is essentially a merchant family.The wealth of their family has attracted the attention of many people. During the time of war with the Federation, wealth is undoubtedly crucial.

Therefore, although the Shen family has never participated in power struggles, they have always been coveted by others, and they only hope that the Shen family can be used by them.

The more Mrs. Shen thought about it, the more flustered she became, but her husband was not around now, so she couldn't discuss it with her.

Her Tongtong is so innocent, how could she think of such dirty things.

Mrs. Shen's face was full of worry, and the "simple" Shen Tong seemed unable to feel this worry, and said: "Everyone in the empire knows that I am not in good health. As long as you tell the outside world, my body has always been weak. Feeling unwell, sick in bed, don’t you need to go?”

Mrs. Shen looked at her son, who was leisurely nibbling on an apple, and didn't react for a while.

Shen Tong looked at his stunned mother, smiled and threw the gnawed apple core into the trash can, then fell down on the sofa with his eyes closed.

But in an instant, Shen Tong's small face turned pale, his brows were tightly frowned, his breathing was slow, it seemed that something was wrong with his body.

This shocked Mrs. Shen a lot.

But when Mrs. Shen panicked and wanted to call the doctor, Shen Tong suddenly reached out and grabbed her hand, looked at her comfortingly, and said, "Mom, I'm fine, I just pretended."

Mrs. Shen looked at Shen Tong in panic, and after confirming that Shen Tong was really fine, she softened and sat on the sofa.

"Mother."

Shen Tong looked at Mrs. Shen with some worry, but Mrs. Shen glared at him, and then stretched out her hand to slap Shen Tong on the head without hesitation.

"Oh." Shen Tong covered his head, then took a few steps back, afraid that Mrs. Shen would suddenly attack again.

The two mother and son stared at each other like this, and they couldn't help laughing as they watched.

"You can pretend."

Shen Tong heard Mrs. Shen's reproachful but not angry words, sat down beside her with a smile, and said, "That's all right."

Mrs. Shen nodded with a smile: "I'll just go and say, none of our Shen family can go now."

Shen Tong nodded: "Mom, what is Dad busy with recently? Why did he suddenly go to the south, and how long will it take to come back?"

Mrs. Shen shook her head after hearing his words: "I don't know, how can I know about your father's business affairs."

Mrs. Shen didn't know anything about business matters, but this time her husband had been away from home for so long, she also felt a lot of missing in her heart.

Shen Tong was not discouraged either. He thought about Ling Yuan, so he asked Mrs. Shen: "Mom, do you remember that among the students Dad sponsored, there was a person named Ling Yuan?"

Shen Tong just asked casually, but he didn't expect Mrs. Shen's face to change after hearing his words.

"Ling Yuan? Your father has sponsored so many students every year, how can I remember everyone?" Mrs. Shen's face quickly returned to normal, she said with a smile.

"Really?"

"Of course." Mrs. Shen looked at him suspiciously, "Why did you ask this suddenly?"
