The Grand Mansion of Charles.

Even though it was late at night, the atmosphere in the mansion still failed to calm down.

From time to time, the cries of the women's relatives sounded, and the servants in the hall did not accompany them, nor did they go away, just like this stalemate.

Everyone was looking at Grand Duke Charlie's face.

"Grand Duke, Master Homan already knew he was wrong, don't you think...?" The old butler cautiously moved over to test the master's attitude.

There is no way for him to come.The main reason is that other than him, other people dare not approach easily.

When Grand Duke Charlie knew that Homan had caused trouble, he broke one of his legs in a fit of anger and ordered him to recuperate at home, and Leidens was not allowed to go there.

Now that his leg was broken and he was imprisoned, Homan simply drank and got drunk all day long, making the whole house run wild.

The Grand Duke had just finished dealing with the outside media, and when he returned home, he saw Homan's ghostly appearance behind closed doors, and he immediately became furious: "It's a useless thing! A little setback makes it look like this!"

The deputy who followed up the stairs stopped cautiously, not daring to make a sound.

On the contrary, the Grand Duke calmed down quickly after he finished his anger. He turned around and asked his deputy, "How is the public opinion outside? Is there any movement from the emperor?"

Deputy: "Don't worry, Grand Duke, the media's mouth has already been blocked, and the matter will not continue to escalate. What's more, your move of killing relatives righteously has earned you a lot of people's favor."

Even though the news he heard was all good, when the Grand Duke thought of his unworthy nephew, he couldn't help but burst into flames from the bottom of his heart.

With his current ghostly appearance, he will never surpass Ryan Akers in this life!

The more the Archduke thought about it, the more he felt that his approach was the wisest, otherwise it would only embarrass him even more if he let Homan go back to Leidens.

This kid has been used to being proud since he was a child, and he can't stand rebellion and blows the most. If something goes wrong, he will immediately be dazzled, and he doesn't care about the consequences.

"It's also a good thing that you were prepared to let Rafa cut off Shen Zhexi's way into the research institute. Otherwise, after this incident, that kid will definitely be at odds with us. If he becomes the right-hand man of Ryan and Gaia, That would be really troublesome.”

Upon hearing this, Grand Duke Charlie also nodded.

Indeed, he is quite satisfied with the balance of power within the Imperial Research Institute. It is best not to have other people suddenly join, otherwise it will disrupt his entire game.

The person who reported this time is probably one of Ryan and Dolan. It seems that the status of the Shen family boy is not what it used to be.

Two days later.

Mrs. Shen finally took Xue'er on the hover car that left the main star.

Dolan considerately sent his own guards to accompany him all the way, which is considered to be enough face, after all, Xueer's current situation is very bad.

Her mental state was just like what Dr. Li said, the longer she stayed on the main star, the easier it was to bring back her painful and horrifying memories. After staying only for a few nights, Xueer's spirit completely collapsed.

Such a situation made Mrs. Shen panic. She wished she could follow Dr. Li's doctor's advice and take Xue'er home, but at the same time she was a little afraid to go home.

Xue'er was brought out by her, but now she brings back a crazy girl, I don't know how the family will argue with her...

The more Mrs. Shen thought about it, the more headache she felt, but she couldn't help herself. She felt a little regretful in her heart, and finally boarded the car home helplessly.

This visit was not fruitless, after all, Shen Zhexi finally connected with the noble circle of the main star, didn't he?

Mrs. Shen here just started to imagine a new life, when Xueer's crying sounded from next door, Mrs. Shen had to get up, and patiently went to see her situation.

On the other hand, Shen Zhexi was relieved that the two relatives of the Shen family were finally sent away.

A few days ago, because of their existence, it can be said that life was in a mess, and they had to quarrel with Mrs. Shen from time to time.

Now that they're gone, suddenly it's much quieter around him, and it also gives him a chance to plan his life for the officially opened winter vacation.

This is also his first long vacation in Leidens.

His winter vacation time is basically divided into two parts: one is to study herbs in Teacher Xiu's laboratory, and the other is to work part-time in coffee shops outside to make money.

He had this idea before: Lingluo grass can heal the wounds of the body, mandala can heal the wounds of the spirit, and Gaia has developed Qingming known as the "civilian version of mandala".So why shouldn't there be an herb that can heal both physical and spiritual wounds?

With such a breakthrough problem, he used the time of winter vacation to devote a lot of study and experiment.

Although his tutor, Mr. Xiu, didn't think that Shen Zhexi, who was still a student, could make any substantial achievements, he still gave him the key to the laboratory and let him do it.

Mr. Xiu took care of his family and didn't stay at school during the winter vacation. The whole laboratory almost became his own paradise.

And near the evening, Shen Zhexi would go to a cafe some distance from Leidens to work part-time.

He regards this part-time job opportunity as an effective means to understand and integrate into the life of the empire, and of course, it is also to enrich his small coffers.

The environment of the cafe is much quieter than he imagined, which is actually quite rare in a fast-paced society like the Empire.

Here you can also see all kinds of guests coming and going, listen to them talk, and hear something that interests him very much from time to time.

Just like the two guests chatting beside him at the moment—

"Have you heard? Recently, Master Lingluo released a new work."

"Oh, I know, it's called "The Past and Present of Lingluocao"?"

"No! You are someone else's pirated book, right? The title of the book is "Collision of Elemental Particles."

"...Oh, the master's new work is still full of rational brilliance."

"Actually, I appreciate "Romantic in the Particle World" written by Elroger more. This book is Gaia's most beloved and respected work!"

"..."

Since the voice of the guest was relatively loud, although Shen Zhexi didn't intend to eavesdrop, she had to listen clearly.

He silently wrote down the titles of the books in his heart, and he planned to look for these two books after get off work, both of which sounded quite interesting.

Wiping the cups on the bar, several colleagues were very satisfied with his diligent new colleague, so sometimes they would take the initiative to chat with him.

"Hey, Shen Zhexi, I have a question that I've been holding back for a long time, and I've always wanted to ask you."

Shen Zhexi put down the cup in his hand, looked up at the other party, "What's the problem?"

The other party stopped talking for a long time before finally asking: "You said that you have a big backer like the marshal's family behind you, and the family is not short of money, so why did you come to work part-time with us?"

Could it be that the Shen family went bankrupt?

This confusion has made the old people in several of their cafes ponder over it for a long time.

Finally asked today.

Their cafe is far away from Laydens, and they don't have much chance to interact with each other. He had heard all kinds of gossip about Shen's family in the past, and he didn't have a good impression of Shen Zhexi. When he first heard that Shen Zhexi came to the store to work part-time, he They are all ready to welcome a son-in-law.

However, after getting in touch recently, he finally realized that sometimes seeing is believing. Isn't it good for Shen Zhexi?

Shen Zhexi smiled, and replied: "There is never too much money. Besides, the Shen family is the Shen family, the marshal's family is the marshal's family, and I am me. I can't eat others for the rest of my life."

The colleague himself is also a part-time student who came out to subsidize his family. He nodded after hearing what he said, and seemed to appreciate his statement.

But no one knows, in fact, Shen Zhexi has already drawn a clear line with the Shen family in his heart. Since the incident with his cousin broke out, he really will not use the Shen family any more, and he will continue to deposit money into the account Call back the money you have used.

Sooner or later, he will really make a clean break with the Shen family.

In this way, when he leaves, he will not owe the other party anything.

Thinking of this, the sound of new customers suddenly came from the door.

Shen Zhexi hurriedly left the bar, ready to greet the guests.

However, before he reached the door, he heard a few exclamations from the cafe.

"God! Is it my eyesight?"

"Ah—that figure, you can't be wrong!"
