After hearing Yu Renshu's words, Shen Feng couldn't help but feel helpless. Ordinary women wouldn't consider so many things. Only Yu Renshu would think so much, which showed she was no ordinary woman.
Shen Feng then began to explain, "You don't need to think this way. Because you've thought so much, you feel so tired. You value status too much, which is why you believe you must have a status that matches mine. In reality, status is not important at all. As long as you ignore it, there won't be any problems!"
"No, that's self-deception. It's unfair to my inner feelings," Yu Renshu still stubbornly said.
No matter what Shen Feng said, Yu Renshu was unwilling to directly agree to his request, especially when she heard about going to live at Shen Feng's home. She was even more unwilling.
In Yu Renshu's opinion, it would be great to live with Shen Feng, but besides herself, there were other women living in Fengshen Palace.
She had left Shen Feng's side voluntarily in the first place. Now, to return to Shen Feng's home in such a dejected manner, wouldn't that be a laughingstock?
Yu Renshu was naturally a proud woman. Otherwise, she would have come to find Shen Feng long ago. She didn't want to go to Shen Feng's side in such a dejected manner; it would break her spirit. She had reached this point. Although she appeared extremely miserable, she had not shed her arrogance.
Upon hearing Yu Renshu's reply, Shen Feng felt helpless and then thought of another reason.
"If you don't think for yourself, you should at least think for others. Look at Hong Xiu; she's almost ten years old this year, but her weight is lighter than that of ordinary children. Isn't this harming the child?" Shen Feng said seriously to Yu Renshu.
After Shen Feng brought this up, Yu Renshu really needed to consider it carefully. Many couples argue about their children during their quarrels, and it is often at these times that the children become the focus of both parties' arguments.
Currently, Yu Hong Xiu was indeed very cute and polite. When she previously heard her grandmother preparing to pack the roast duck from the table, she also imitatively said she wanted to pack it, showing she was a very sensible child. However, her physical fitness was much worse than that of ordinary children. This was a real problem, and Yu Renshu could not avoid it. She knew very well that in this chaotic world, Yu Hong Xiu's health was much weaker than that of ordinary children.
Therefore, after careful consideration, Yu Renshu suddenly made a decision: "Take my mother and Hong Xiu to live at your home. I will live outside alone. I will not go to live with you. If you want to see me, you can come and find me yourself!"
Shen Feng did not expect to hear such an answer in the end. Yu Renshu was unwilling to live with others even if she had to live alone outside. He couldn't understand what was on her mind.
Shen Feng still wanted to persuade her, but Yu Renshu seriously replied, "This decision is one I have made after careful consideration. I will not go to live at your home, but for the sake of the child, you can let the child live at your home. This is my answer!"
"Why must you do this? No one will point fingers at your life. If you care so much about others' opinions, you will spend your entire life living by their evaluations!" Shen Feng advised Yu Renshu.
Upon hearing Shen Feng's words, Yu Renshu seriously replied, "I am not living for the sake of others' evaluations. I am making this choice for myself. I have my own principles. Perhaps when I feel I can be worthy of you in the future, I will come to your side!"
Shen Feng felt helpless upon hearing Yu Renshu's answer because Yu Renshu's thoughts were too peculiar. So, he could only reply, "Since you have already decided this, then do as you wish. I will take the child home to care for her myself. Later, a dedicated tutor will design courses for her to study. However, living alone outside will be quite lonely."
"Since I have awakened now, it means my body has recovered quite well. I am an esper after all. Even if I live alone, I can protect myself. You can rest assured about this," Yu Renshu said seriously to Shen Feng.
Shen Feng left the room helplessly, preparing to handle this matter.
At this moment, Yu Renshu wiped the tears from her face and murmured, "This is the last bit of pitiful self-respect I have. I don't want to lose even this self-respect."
After leaving the hospital, Shen Feng quickly arrived at the City Lord's Mansion and directly found Chang Jianyi, then said in a low voice, "Senior sister, I need to discuss something with you!"
"What is so important that you have to come to me personally to discuss it? Can't you handle it yourself? Speak quickly, and I'll consider it!" Chang Jianyi smiled at Shen Feng, her smile never ceasing, but there was a hint of teasing in it.
Shen Feng then said seriously, "Do you remember Yu Renshu from ten years ago? The doctor who once created purification potions and esper potions for us. At that time, we snatched all these formulas from her hands!"
"I do remember this person. Are you saying it's related to her?" Chang Jianyi continued to smile at Shen Feng, as if wanting to see what Shen Feng would do under her questioning.
Shen Feng took a deep breath and then said seriously, "Actually, I just found out about this. We have a daughter, and Yu Renshu's family is currently living in great hardship. Therefore, I want to bring the child back to live at home. Yu Renshu's mother will also come. This matter is very important, but I need your consent!"
After hearing Shen Feng's words, Chang Jianyi said faintly, "Actually, I already heard about this two days ago. When you went on a killing spree in the south city, many reporters were already watching. Many people wanted to report on this matter, so the information was sent to me. After reading it, I roughly guessed the truth of the matter!"
Shen Feng did not expect Chang Jianyi to have already learned about this. However, since she already knew the truth of the matter, she had remained very calm during these past few days, as if nothing had happened. It had to be said that she was different from before. If it were the senior sister from before, she would have erupted the moment she learned about it. But now, she had endured for several days, and her heart had gradually calmed down.
Shen Feng said helplessly, "Senior sister, I know this is my fault. But this is all in the past. Now their family's life is truly miserable, and I am, after all, the child's father. I cannot just ignore them and drive them away. I can only take care of them!"
Chang Jianyi said faintly, "Actually, I don't object to your decision, because I also know that you don't have many children. Now that you've suddenly learned that you have a daughter, you will naturally be very happy. Be straightforward and bring their whole family home to live. I won't say much about it."
Since experiencing Du Xinshi's matter, Chang Jianyi no longer felt intense jealousy. On one hand, it was because the children were gradually growing up, and if she continued to be too jealous, it would inevitably leave a bad impression on the children. On the other hand, it was because she had come to terms with it, so she would not be wildly jealous just because other women appeared around Shen Feng.
Shen Feng was very touched and said, "Senior sister, it's good to have you at home. Today, I will bring the child and her grandmother home. However, Yu Renshu will not come. The doctor said she doesn't want to return with me until she feels worthy of me. When the time is right, she will appear before me on her own."
Chang Jianyi was a little surprised to hear this, but she still said, "That's good. It's her own choice. Then let her live outside. I will find her a job to make things easier for her."
Chang Jianyi could understand Yu Renshu's thoughts because she felt she was very similar to Yu Renshu. Their inner thoughts were almost the same. Chang Jianyi knew that once Yu Renshu appeared at home, she would feel uncomfortable. She was very proud, and this pride made her unwilling to be subservient to others.
Yu Renshu was different from Chu Chaoyan and Li Keyi. As long as these two women could stay by Shen Feng's side, it was acceptable for them to temporarily lower their heads. They didn't care about this. However, Yu Renshu was different. What she could not tolerate was having to bow her head when she saw other women, as if she were a mistress. This feeling of being inherently inferior would disgust her.
"Then I will bring the child home to see and find a room for her to live in. The child is named Yu Hong Xiu, but from now on, she will be called Shen Hong Xiu!" Shen Feng said quickly and then prepared to leave the office.
Chang Jianyi then said, "Chaoyan and Yiyi are struggling. The number of mutated butterflies is simply too large. You will have to slow down your time at home. Hurry up and go to battle. If you delay for a few more days, more people will go hungry!"
Shen Feng also remembered this important matter. He had been delayed by Yu Renshu's affairs these past few days and had not prepared for any outings. However, after being reminded by his senior sister, he finally remembered that he had a formidable enemy to face, which was the countless mutated butterflies.
Afterward, Shen Feng found Yu Hong Xiu and Qian Mingya and asked them to familiarize themselves with the situation at Fengshen Palace. Originally, Qian Mingya wanted to persuade her daughter to leave with them, but she found her daughter too stubborn. Moreover, her granddaughter was still very young, and it was impossible for such a young girl to live alone in a strange place. Therefore, she could only go to Fengshen Palace with her granddaughter.
Shen Feng quickly brought Qian Mingya and Shen Hong Xiu to the entrance of Fengshen Palace. After the three of them got out of the car, they were immediately faced with a towering city wall. This city wall stood on the mountain, and the entire mountaintop was within the scope of Fengshen Palace.
"From now on, we will live in this palace. It's really so grand!" Shen Hong Xiu couldn't help but exclaim. Upon seeing Fengshen Palace, her heart was filled with astonishment. She couldn't imagine that anyone would live in such a luxurious place.
Shen Feng shrugged and said, "Since you are my daughter, you should live in an extraordinary place. This is not considered a true palace, and that's because I don't like to indulge. So, I live in ordinary places. If you truly wanted to build a palace, it would require hundreds of thousands of people to work day and night."
Shen Feng was definitely not bragging. If he wanted to live in a palace, it wasn't impossible, because with just one command, he could immediately gather a large number of laborers to build a palace. However, he didn't want to do that, as it would be a waste of money and manpower, and it would also shake his foundation in Yuzhou.
Shen Hong Xiu was incredibly shocked. She often saw her father on television before, and at that time, her mother always looked at him with longing. Now that Shen Hong Xiu saw where her father lived, she finally understood why her mother had that expression.
"Alright, no need to look from outside anymore. I'll take you inside for a tour and find you a separate place to live. Whether you want to live in the attic or in a real castle, you can choose any room you like!" Shen Feng said with a smile.
