Chapter 2482: Jun Family (7)
The Jun Family was in uproar.
First Master Jun was so angry lately. He had just managed to sell a few stores to raise the money for them to pay Governor Nian to be used as the injured soldiers' subsidy. The nobles had already started to spread this matter out, gaining a lot of people's gratefulness.
But First Master Jun's heart was bleeding!
He knew for sure that if he didn't pay, these people would start talking that the Jun Family was the only one who didn't participate in this matter and then their reputation would crumble.
It would not be good for them.
And when First Master Jun thought that the matter could not turn worse, he heard that Jun Shi Lian had returned.
This piece of news was like a bolt of lightning on a clear day.
He was shocked when he heard that and wanted to go over and said that it was impossible.
How could his weak child survived?
"Jun Shi Lian is still alive?" First Master Jun was livid when he heard this. The name of the child whom he had forgotten for so many years suddenly resurfaced. This made him unable to calm down.
He couldn't comprehend how someone who should have died many years ago turned out to be alive.
Over the years, the Jun Family had never paid attention to the news of the frontline unless it affected their place. They naturally choose to forget that they still have a child who was wandering outside, fighting against powerful enemies all over the world.
None of them cared for him.
So when they heard that this person was still alive, the first reaction was disbelief.
The second reaction was fear!
Because they could still remember that gloomy child who could not hide his hatred towards them in the slightest bit. They never cared for this child who would die at any moment and had nearly died in their hands before.
It was only because of the forced recruitment from Fei Yang Kingdom that they choose to keep him.
Otherwise, the one who had to go to the frontline would be Jun Shi Mo.
Their beloved child.
How could they be willing to let the child they loved go to the frontline?
So they choose to let Jun Shi Lian replaced Jun Shi Mo.
After that, they thought that with Jun Shi Lian's weak physique and the fact that he was malnourished and sick all year long, Jun Shi Lian should die on the frontline. Because of that, no one cared about his life and death anymore.
In their mind, he had died.
Now…
"That's not possible!" First Madam Jun almost jumped up from the spot when she heard about this. She was sure that Jun Shi Lian was already dying when she sent him to the frontline at that time.
After all, she hated this b*stard child very much.
His mother was such a vixen and then the child she conceive was naturally even more so.
Because of that, First Madam Jun always made a lot of troubles to Jun Shi Lian and never allowed the boy to live in peace.
'I should have killed him in the first place.'
Killing intent flashed within First Madam Jun's eyes. She felt that she was too softhearted. After Jun Shi Lian left the Jun Family Residence to go to the frontline, she should have sent people along with those people who wanted Jun Fang's life.
Unfortunately, she didn't think too much.
Jun Shi Lian was simply too weak in their eyes.
That kind of child should not be able to survive at all.
Yet, the fact slapped them in the face loudly.
"Master, Madam…" The servant trembled when he saw the angry state of these two people. If it was possible, he really didn't want to be the one to come forward to deliver this piece of news. "Governor Nian called for you to come and pick him up."
"Why should I go and pick him up?" First Master Jun was in a bad mood. "If he wants to go back, he can go back on his own!"
There was no way First Master Jun would be willing to welcome Jun Shi Lian back to the Jun Family.
If it was possible, he even wanted to kill Jun Shi Lian.
Unfortunately, First Master Jun knew that if he dared to do this, there would be too many people who could guess that this was done by him.
After all, the fact that the Jun Family disliked Jun Shi Lian was not exactly a secret.
Many people had known about this.
Moreover, Jun Shi Lian is not only the child of the Jun Family now but also a soldier on the battlefield. He didn't even know what this b*stard child had experienced over the years and whether he came together with his friends and commander.
If that was the case, how could he kill Jun Shi Lian openly?
It was really infuriating.

First Madam Jun also snorted. "Tell him that the Jun Family didn't welcome him. If he wants to come back, then he should come back on his own! It's impossible for us to come and welcome him back!"
She felt that it was already the greatest kindness of the Jun Family to let Jun Shi Lian came to the Jun Family Residence.
As for welcoming him home on their own…
Hehehe, it's impossible!
She was already feeling heartbroken because many of her stores had to be sold by First Master Jun and now asking her to bring this b*stard child back, First Madam Jun was extremely unwilling.
The servant looked at loss when he saw these two people's refusal.
Thinking about Governor Nian's order, he could only grit his teeth and said, "Master, Madam, Governor Nian said that the Jun Family had to welcome him back. Otherwise, the Jun Family will have to bear the infamy of mistreating soldiers, especially soldiers who had sacrificed for the kingdom."
