Shen Xin's sudden return to the capital caused a huge sensation.
People praised Shen Xin for being heroic and invincible. This time, he had received a letter of surrender from the enemy army in advance. When he attended the court banquet, the emperor would definitely reward him greatly. However, now that Shen Xin was already a first-rank official, he could not be promoted anymore. Everyone guessed that this reward would probably be given to Shen Xin's son, Shen Qiu.
The other thing was that on the day Shen Xin returned to the capital, it happened to be Old Madam Shen's birthday. However, the ancestral hall suddenly caught fire, and what was more accidental was that his daughter was trapped in the ancestral hall. On that day, Shen Xin saw how cold the Shen family treated his daughter. People were afraid that the Shen family would not be peaceful in the future.
