"General, you mean ..." The steward almost thought he had heard it wrong, standing still in place, as he heard Feng Nian repeat himself once more after just returning.

"Take everything from Shen Zhinan's room and throw it all out, not a single item is to be kept." Feng Nian stood indifferently in the center of the hall of the General's Mansion. He took two steps up the stairs, and suddenly stopped again. His gaze met a picture hanging on the wall in the center of the hall.

It was a picture of a white rose.

The white rose in full bloom was so delicate that their fragrant petals and branches seemed to be peeking out from the frame.

Feng Nian couldn't remember the origin of this painting.

"Who hung it up?" he asked coldly.

The steward followed Feng Nian. After hesitating for a moment, he answered Feng Nian's question: "General, this painting was... painted by Master Shen."

Master Shen.

The steward usually addressed Shen Zhinan as "Madam", but now Shen Zhinan was no longer General Feng Nian's wife.

Shen Zhinan and Feng Nian's divorce was beyond everyone's imagination. They originally thought it was just a quarrel. But Shen Zhinan actually stood in front of Feng Nian with the scent of another alpha.

The beautiful omega, who loved deeply Feng Nian in people's consciousness, did something that they couldn't understand; the steward still couldn't believe to this day that Shen Zhinan would be unfaithful.

"He can draw?" Feng Nian whispered to himself, but the confusion in his eyes quickly turned into a hard look. He looked up at the white rose indifferently and gave a cruel order, "Remove the painting as well."

"General... Madam won't be coming back?" the steward couldn't help but ask a presumptuous question.

People outside always describe Shen Zhinan as very unbearable. The omega who couldn't bear the loneliness betrayed the excellent alpha. They all seemed to be waiting for Shen Zhinan, who had an affair, to receive his deserved 'retribution'.

The steward didn't know what exactly happened between Feng Nian and Shen Zhinan. However, in the past few years in the General's Mansion, he personally witnessed how Shen Zhinan changed from a naive and cheerful beautiful omega, becoming more silent by the day, falling into depression, and losing the smiles from his face altogether.

He watched with his own eyes as a blooming flower gradually withered and faded.

If Feng Nian had been kind to his omega, showing him a little warmth and care, maybe everything would have turned out differently.

"Madam?" Feng Nian made a cold taunt from deep in his throat. He glanced at the steward warningly, "A person who cheated and betrayed me has no right to be the master of the General's Mansion. Throw out all his belongings, and don't let me see them again."

Shen Zhinan's belongings.

Where are they?

The steward didn't spend much time to organise Shen Zhinan's belongings, which were just some basic daily necessities and simple clothing accessories. It didn't seem like the belongings of someone who had been living here for five years.

The things that Shen Zhinan initially brought to the general's mansion, as long as they were valuable, were mostly pawned by Shen Zhinan later in exchange for money.

Although Feng Nian ensured Shen Zhinan lacked nothing in terms of food and drink, the medical expenses for Shen Zhinan's father were a bottomless pit, not to mention that the Shen family owed a lot of extra money after it went bankrupt. Even if Shen Zhinan did not have to repay these debts personally, he still had to afford his father's medical expenses.

Shen Zhinan's life had not been good these past few years, especially as the only omega wife of the most popular General in the imperial capital. Shen Zhinan's life wasn't as affluent as others imagined; it was just a hollow reputation.

"Master Steward, where are these items placed after they are sealed?" The servant asked how Shen Zhinan's items were handled.

All Shen Zhinan's belongings amounted to only three or four boxes.

But the guest named Jiang Yueying had dozens of boxes just for clothes, and it was said that most of them were bought by the General.

The steward sighed helplessly: "Just throw them out and destroy them as the General instructed."

The general could be considered excellent in every aspect, but in terms of being an alpha, he hadn't treated his omega well in the past five years.

Over the past few years, the steward had seen it all. Sometimes he felt that Feng Nian actually has feelings for Shen Zhinan, but sometimes Feng Nian's actions were extremely indifferent.

However, no matter what, it was true that Shen Zhinan betrayed the General. The General who was so proud in his heart, even if he had once harboured a slight fondness for Shen Zhinan, probably had nothing left now.

"Master Steward, do you think this painting is also being thrown away? On the back of the painting is the wedding photo of the General and..." The servant no longer dared mention Shen Zhinan's name. Those three words had become a taboo in the General's residence.

They removed the painting of the white rose from the wall, and only then discovered that the back of the painting was actually the wedding photo of Shen Zhinan and General Feng Nian.

In the study.

Feng Nian has been sitting at the desk since he came in. The book he had opened remained on the first page, densely covered with annotations. Yet he couldn't focus on a single word.

Who was the alpha Shen Zhinan cheated with?

From beginning to end, he never showed up. Even if two capable betas were arranged for Shen Zhinan, it couldn't change the fact that the alpha is a coward.

Shen Zhinan was such a stupid omega that he would betray him for an alpha who dared not show his face, abandoning the position if the General's wife, making them both a joke in the capital.

The communicator flickered.

Feng Nian closed his eyes forcefully and pressed the answer button.

The secretary's voice came from the communicator: "General, the hospital records showed that Mr. Shen had left the hospital a week ago. It's still unknown where he has been transferred to. Does the military hospital need to be prepared to receive..."

"No need." Feng Nian opened his eyes suddenly and hung up the call with his secretary when he heard the knock on the door.

"Come in." Feng Nian maintained his indifferent expression, but the speed of the pen spinning in his hand gradually increased.

He looked at the steward who walked in through the door: "What's the matter?"

The steward stood at the door: "General, according to your instructions, Master Shen's belongings have already been taken away for destruction. There's still one painting left..."

Feng Nian frowned slightly: "What's wrong with the painting?"

"The front of the painting is a rose painted by Master Shen, and the back...is your previous wedding photo." The steward said cautiously, "General, would you like to seal the painting or send it to you?"

After all, there was also Feng Nian's own portrait on it.

Feng Nian was stunned for a moment. The wedding photo of him and Shen Zhinan?

In his memory, when they had just gotten married, he was indeed forced to take such a photo with Shen Zhinan unwillingly.

Shen Zhinan had once put the photo in a frame, but later...

Feng Nian thought about it and asked Shen Zhinan to destroy that photo because he didn't want to see it.

Over the years, it turned out there was still a wedding photo hidden behind the rose painting in the hall.

The steward called out softly: "General?"

Feng Nian came back to his senses: "Burn it."
