A young man stood in the darkness, wearing an embroidered robe and a golden crown. His long eyebrows extended to his temples, and his pair of peach blossom eyes seemed merciless as if they were filled with emotion. He had an elegant demeanor and was elegant and handsome.
Why did this young master come to the Yongping Mansion!
Shen Jun was stunned for a moment before quickly retracting his surprise. Not only did he recognize the purple robed young master, but he also recognized the youth standing next to him. Moreover, his appearance was very familiar.
Xiu Ying was also standing behind Shen Junxiao, sizing up these strangers. In the dark of the night, she once again put on her cloak, which wasn't very eye-catching. When she saw that the two leading young masters were dressed in extraordinary clothes, she lowered her head and didn't dare to continue looking at them.
He was afraid that if he really did run into someone important, it would bring trouble to his third uncle.
Her clothes made her look very similar to the people in the capital. In her previous life, she had stayed in the capital for a few years, so she was able to distinguish between them.
Shen Junxiao felt the little girl's hand gripping his sleeve, so he stretched out his hand to pull her to stand behind him. This way, the little girl was completely blocked.
Shen Junxiao bowed before the two young masters and replied, "It was just a small matter."
The woman carried the boy and started to yell at the man who had been restrained, "You damned bastard! If you really want to send Qing'er to cleanse her body, he is the only incense burner of your Liu Clan! How dare you do such a thing? "If you lose the bet then just sell me, Qing`er, will your conscience be eaten by a dog?!"
The man's eyes turned red as he was scolded. After struggling for a while, he was lightly twisted by the guard and started yelling like a pig that was being butchered.
"Cleansing up? This is not the capital, where do I go to get myself cleaned up? " The purple-robed man frowned and said to the guard: "Looks like there's something fishy about this. Tell him my name and send him to the yamen."
The guard acknowledged respectfully, turned around and asked for directions, and slowly walked away.
The other guards by the young man's side clustered around him as they said, "Young master, it's time to go."
The young man nodded, before turning around to look at Shen Jun, he suddenly asked, "Are you a scholar?"
Shen Jun agreed, and then the man laughed: "Just now when I saw you make a move, it looked like you learned it, it was pretty good. "What's your name?"
"Shen Jun smiled."
Oh? Shen … Home... I know a family with the surname Shen. " As the youth spoke, he slowly turned around and was escorted far away. "The young man was a few steps slower than her. He took out a small white jade bottle and handed it to Shen Jun." "I think the young lady was injured. This is some good medicine, so it's not good for her to have scars.
As he spoke, he wanted to take a look behind him with interest, but the corner of the youth's robe had disappeared.
He was startled. This girl was hiding from him.
He did not try to force it, but smiled, cupped his hands, and chased after Shen Jun.
"This may not be the place you're looking for …" Just as he caught up, he heard the violet-robed youth say softly.
The young man's gaze dimmed, and then he laughed heartily: "Which ones are you looking for, and which ones are not? Let's go." "Perhaps if we do find it, we might not be able to."
"Everyone is crazy."
The young man sighed. The group of people continued to follow the message under the cover of the night.
Shen Jun laughed as he carried Xiu Ying back to the restaurant, wanting to show her the injury. Xiu Ying's face was flushed red as she waved her hand, "I'm not hurt! It's true! "
The scratch on the little girl's palm made Shen Jun's heart skip a beat. He quickly pulled her closer to the candle flame to examine her closely.
Fortunately, his skin was only slightly torn. He let out a sigh of relief, and then he started to blame himself. He raised his head and said, "Third Uncle was reckless in obstructing people, but you are also bold. If you were pressed down, it would not be a joke."
"I didn't think that much at the time." Xiu Ying's thin voice rang out.
Shen Jun smiled as he looked up. The little girl's face was completely red as she continuously withdrew her hand. This... Was he shy?!
Shen Jun laughed in a way that was both angry and funny.
What a little girl! He showed her a wound on her hand and was actually shy about it. He pinched her soft claws and refused to budge, using the cold tea to help her wash her hand. Then he took out the medicine the man had given him and sprinkled it all over the wound.
The little girl was gasping for breath after being stabbed by the medicine.
"And I thought it was really that heroic, and that it wouldn't be all right?"
Being mocked, Xiu Ying curled her lips. Fortunately, Shen Junxiao didn't want to examine her leg to see if it was injured. She heaved a sigh of relief, allowing him to mount the horse before heading back to the house.
On the way, Xiu Ying thought of the little boy.
The woman just now said that he was going to be sent away to cleanse his body, so he should have been sold. Then, she accepted the children. Those people would have the means to send them to the palace. Normally, these kinds of methods would not be exposed to the public. Most of the children inside would be used like this to pay off their debts or steal some things.
That young master wanted to escort him to the yamen. He wanted to investigate the situation behind the scenes, right? From the sound of it, his tone seemed to be very formidable.
If her father were to receive this case, it was unknown how he would investigate. Normally, there would be other forces controlling this behind the scenes. Even people with authority might not be able to do so.
If one was not good, then they would offend others.
However, if he didn't, and Young Noble was from the capital, then he must have some background as well.
It was a dilemma.
Xiu Ying started to worry for her father.
No matter how cold and uncaring her father was, she didn't want him to be in dire straits. Should she tell him about what happened by the riverbank?
Xiu Ying pondered over and over again. She decided to tell Madam Feng to let her talk to him.
Shen Jun smiled as he brought Xiu Ying back to the Jia Xin Yuan, explaining how she saved the boy. He then apologized to Lady Feng for not taking good care of her. Madam Feng clicked her tongue. Seeing that her daughter was still blinking mischievously, she knew that she really wasn't hurt, so she comforted her little uncle and sent him out of the house.
When they left, Madam Feng called for some water, asking Xiu Ying to roll up her trousers.
Although her leg hadn't been scratched, it wasn't as if it had been bruised. Madam Feng used her hands to block the medicinal oil and ruthlessly rubbed it away, causing the little girl to grimace in pain.
After taking a deep breath, Xiu Ying finally revealed what she was worried about.
"You little brat, just how long do you think it's going to be? You already know that it's someone rich in the capital." Madam Feng extended a hand to poke her forehead, but after thinking for a moment, she still decided to go see Master Shen.
She didn't want to interfere with his business, but she couldn't ignore it before her daughter grew up.
After Xiu Ying said this, she pretended to be a good child. She had indeed said too much tonight, but she knew that her mother definitely had other excuses for her father.
The Feng family found out that Master Shen was in the outer courtyard, leading a large group of young girls and wives.
Master Shen drank quite a bit of wine in the evening, and currently, Suxue was helping him to change clothes. He was still in the midst of a drunken stupor, and as he looked at the young girl, he thought about the taste of her young body … Old Master Shen seemed to be moved.
The pageboy's voice came from outside.
Master Shen, who had just grabbed Suxue's slender waist, woke up in a flash. His entire body shuddered and he hurriedly pushed her away.
Madam Feng sat in the outer room. When she saw Old Master Shen reeking of alcohol coming over, before she had even finished buttoning up her clothes, she also saw Suxue walking out with her head lowered. A trace of ridicule flashed in his eyes, "Did you disturb the old master's rest?"
"My, my lady, what are you talking about? I just returned to the manor to change."
When Madam Feng came, Old Master Shen was both agitated and restrained. He wasn't sure why she suddenly came, but he was faintly looking forward to it from the bottom of his heart.
However, since he couldn't even rush to see the Feng Family because they were disgusted with him, how could he think about such charming things? With a cold expression, he withdrew his wife and told her about everything he had seen and heard.
Her words were naturally the best medicine that could bring someone back to reality. Master Shen was still disappointed, but his expression turned serious. He wanted to ask someone to go to the yamen to see who it was, but the yamen runner had already entered the residence that very night to seek an audience.
