Seeing the huge body that pounced towards him, Sheng Yan's mouth revealed a smile.

Actually, this was the first time she saw such a wild tiger with golden fur. This kind of fur was considered superior here, so she tried her best to not ruin its original appearance. However, she was determined on this piece of skin.

Although he didn't have much confidence, since he had come to another era and everything had changed, then he couldn't follow the old society anymore. He would only be bullied even worse, like now, he had no power to tie up a chicken, and even animals dared to bully him.

Pu, with a loud sound, red blood sprayed out. Sheng Yan's and Lan Qin's face were covered in the blood of a tiger.

Seeing that the tiger head had struggled for a while, and did not move, Lan Qin fearlessly stuck her nose out, and had already stopped breathing.

"How is it?"

"Dead."

Sheng Yan finally no longer needed to lift it. Just now, the poison had already consumed a lot of her physical strength, wouldn't she become dehydrated now?

The tiger's body fell to the ground, crushing down a wooden club. However, the two of them didn't plan to spend the night here. They were prepared to peel off the tiger's skin and head back to the capital.

Seeing Lan Qin skillfully cutting the tiger's skin, Sheng Yan felt that she could take Lan Qin as her master first and learn some martial arts. After all, she didn't have anything to defend herself with, even as a Small Five, he felt uneasy.

After they were done, the two went to the riverside. After cleaning up the blood and residue from the fur, they folded the entire piece of skin in reverse so that the hair inside could no longer be seen.

Taking advantage of the moonlight, the two of them returned to the Sheng Jia.

At this time, Fu Yun Xian was waiting for the two to return from the main hall.

Sheng Yan entered through the front door and was stopped by a servant who said that the was waiting in the front hall.

As for this piece of skin, he would treat it as a form of filial piety. After all, this cheap daddy was really taking advantage of him.

When they arrived at the front hall, Lan Qin did not go in.

Everyone was gathered together, as if they wanted to interrogate themselves about why they didn't return home at night.

"You can bear to come back?"

"Madame, Father."

"Hmph, don't think that you can do whatever you want with the old master here. Let me tell you, your daughter's night out is very serious."

Fu Yun Xian clearly wanted to make Sheng Ming He angry, so that, whether it was on the matter of conscience or flesh, Sheng Ming He would lose her original judgement and make some irrational decisions towards Sheng Yan.

Sheng Yi Qiu laughed on the side, as if she really wanted to see the scene of Sheng Yan getting punished.

However, only Qing Qian could tell that Sheng Yan seemed to be severely injured. Even though her hair had covered her clothes, one could still see the traces of blood on her right shoulder when she swung.

"Father, since Small Five is back, let's hear what she has to say. Seeing how Small Five is acting, I think she must have suffered a lot."

As Qing Qian knocked on the side, Sheng Ming He finally reacted. She also carefully sized up Sheng Yan's appearance;

"Small Five, tell me, what happened?"

Sheng Yan knew that Qing Qian was helping him out of good intentions, so she would also provide her own report.

"Father, Sister-in-law said that you have been fighting for years and have many ailments in your legs. My daughter thinks that since you have no money and your life is not rich, there is nothing for you to be filial about. I heard that a golden tiger appeared in the outskirts of the city, so I decided to give it a try and give it to Father …"

Not only did Sheng Yan's voice become softer and softer as she talked, he had also started to fight with her eyes and fell down.

When he woke up again, it was already bright outside. He seemed to have taken a bath as well, and the place on his hands was made by a professional doctor.

Of course, when he opened his eyes, he did not think too much about it. He only saw a pair of fatherly eyes staring at him.

Blinking his eyes, Sheng Yan weakly wanted to stand up, startling the two who were just staring blankly into space.

"Don't move, the doctor said that you will need ten days to recover from your wounds."

"Dad, I'm fine."

"And you said it's okay, there are always bandits in the outskirts of the city. You and your servant girl rushed over alone to steal the tiger from them. Now you're at a disadvantage, aren't you?"

"It's not a loss, but the tiger skin is back."

Seeing Sheng Yan's clean smile, Sheng Ming He truly could not bear to scold her.

It was just that this time was too dangerous, if the arrow had gone to the left side, Sheng Yan would definitely have died.

"Silly child, you're not allowed to do such foolish things in the future. Qing Qian, teach her etiquette by being a sister-in-law, what happens when you marry into the imperial family?

Sheng Yan pulled Sheng Ming He's leg, and begged: "Father, daughter won't marry, daughter must accompany Father."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Third Prince has already agreed. The marriage will happen sooner or later."

"But I heard that Third Prince has lost an arm?"

Sheng Ming He laughed, this was the first time he had laughed because of a single sentence. Of course, it was only to take what Sheng Yan had said to be a joke, because he was the most clear on what kind of person the Xuanyuan Li was.

Regardless, marrying Sheng Yan to the Xuanyuan Li was a fortunate thing.

"He has a side that you don't know about. Let's not talk about that for now. What happened after you ran into the bandits?"

"We built a small house between two trees with wooden sticks, and it just happened to be attacked by tigers, so those bandits ran away. Lan Qin and I did not care about that much, and hid inside, but who would have thought that the tiger would really attack us two. Our daughter had already pulled out the arrow, so with a flash of brilliance, she pierced the arrow into the tiger's body."

Sheng Ming He lightly patted Sheng Yan's shoulder, "It's no wonder you're my great general's daughter, you're very smart."

After the two talked for a while, only Qing Qian and Sheng Yan was left in the house, Lan Qin was brewing medicine outside.

"No one dares to bully you now."

"Is that so? Madame and Sheng Yi Qiu were quite rampant yesterday. "

"Who asked you to be so smart, bringing back a tiger in the middle of the night."

Sheng Yan laughed dumbly. Actually, she wanted to use that tiger, but in order to consolidate her own position, she did not have any moves, she only wanted to gift it.

"There's no other way. I was planning on being sister-in-law's vassal."

"Your mouth was sweet, your story was spread out by other people, there were all kinds of people, but in the end, it still fell into the ears of the Third Prince."

If he fell into the ears of the Third Prince, wouldn't his identity be exposed? I'm finished, I reckon the Third Prince's dream of losing an arm is about to end.

Who would know about the situation at the scene? It wouldn't be excessive if I said that I rushed over later, since the identity of the Small Five is not public, and the more restricted it is, the more mysterious it is.
