It was a complete mess after the river lamps were put on properly.

Xiu Ying was carried away by Shen Jun. She laid on his shoulder and saw that there was a fire along the river bank, along with a dazzling silver light.

It seemed to be a blade.

Someone was fighting to the death by the river?

Who could be so daring?

Xiu Ying's eyes were wide open. She felt a little dizzy from the bumpy movements. She hugged Shen Jun's smiling neck tightly, feeling chills run through her body.

Was there such a thing in his previous life?

Xiu Ying was bewildered. Shen Jun Xiao ran to a safe place before looking at the little girl in his arms. Seeing that her eyes were wide open, she hurriedly comforted her: "Don't be afraid, everything is fine."

Everyone ran alongside Shen Junxiao. They were far away from the riot, but they were not pushed aside by the crowd. At this moment, everyone had a look of surprise on their faces. Chen Jiayi, who was in her brother's arms, was also trembling in fear.

"Third uncle, are they killing people?"

Xiu Ying swallowed her saliva. Although she tried her best to remain calm, her voice still trembled as she spoke.

"Don't be afraid, they've already been repelled." Shen Jun smiled and looked into the distance. Besides a group of people, there was no one else by the river.

The fight was gone in the torchlight.

Who was attacked?

Shen Jun was also filled with doubt.

There were already officers and soldiers patrolling along the coast. With such a huge commotion, they were able to quickly recall the events that had transpired. Du Yicheng stood in the middle of the encirclement of Hou Mansion guards with a dark expression on his face. The flexible sword in his hand was still stained with traces of blood.

When the soldiers came to take a look, they saw that the one who was ambushed was the young ancestor of the Yongping Mansion. They were so frightened that they immediately sent people to look for Master Shen.

If Master Shen were to be blamed by the Eternal Ping Marquis' Mansion for causing such a huge disturbance in the city, he could not be blamed.

Master Shen was just about to ask his comrades to accompany him for a drink in a restaurant when he heard of this matter. When he heard that Du Yicheng had safely returned to the Residence of Marquis Yongping, he hurriedly rushed over to visit.

The atmosphere in the house of the Marquis of Yongping was extremely depressing. The duke of Yongping held the pearl in his hand and turned it around and around. The son of the Marquis of Yongping had his face ashen as he let the guards tell him about the situation.

When Master Shen heard the guards say that those weren't local people, he began to sweat profusely.

If he wasn't a local, then he had snuck in from the outside. If he couldn't find the person at the city gate, then he wouldn't have the face to explain this to the Marquis of Yongping.

When he left the Yongping manor, Master Shen was already sweating profusely. He immediately called everyone from the magistrate court back to the yamen and began to investigate the matter.

The unrest dispersed with Du Yicheng's return. Shen Junxiao and the others no longer had the mood to continue playing around, and each returned to their own homes. Who knew that when they were about to stop the carriage on the street, they would meet Shen Lian. Next to her was the Cui Family, Madame Cui's mother, Madame Cui.

Shen Junxiao also saw them. Grandma Cui raised her chin, looking at Xiu Ying with a cold gaze. Such a haughty and disdainful expression made the two of them feel uncomfortable.

Xiu Ying didn't want to come into contact with him and wanted to avoid him.

The other party, however, refused to budge. He unexpectedly pushed forward with his servants. Shen Jun's smile turned cold as he shielded the little girl behind him.

"How did the Feng family raise their children? They didn't even know how to greet an old body." Grandma Cui stood in front of the two of them, looking extremely hostile.

The corners of Shen Jun's lips curved up in a faint smile. The handsome youngster was enraged, and a sharp glint appeared in his eyes.

"What kind of status do you have that you want Xiu Ying to bow to you?" Aunt Cui's mother? "

Shen Jun's laughter almost made Xiu Ying laugh out loud.

This was too cruel. He was mocking Grandma Cui for not teaching her well. She was a lady of a noble family, and she was in a hurry to be someone's concubine. No one would dare to step out of their door to face such a situation.

Grandma Cui had never thought that the Third Master of the Shen family would be so merciless as to protect Xiu Ying, causing her to lose face on the street.

She was so angry that she did not know how to reply. Shen Lian had never seen such a sharp Third Uncle.

After she was taken away by the Cui Family, she was worried that her mother would think too much about it, but now that her grandmother came again, Shen Ying went back to complain. Had her efforts in the past few days failed?

Her aunt had already been taken out of the Shen family. If she was disliked by her mother, then her days in the Shen family would be gone.

Shen Lian's heart was filled with fear, she did not want the two parties to clash again, so she quickly pulled Grandma Cui's sleeve and said pitifully: "Grandmother, I, I feel so uncomfortable …" He then rolled his eyes and fainted.

Xiu Ying, who was already prepared to argue with Grandma Cui, was stunned.

Shen Lian knew this move very well, whenever she met Shen Lian who was embarrassed or wanted to frame someone and act soft and weak, Shen Lian would feel faint!

Now, with her toes, she knew she was pretending.

But for what?

Xiu Ying was startled for a moment before she understood her little sister's intentions. She was afraid that Grandma Cui would offend her and ruin her life in the Shen family.

Tsk, this person was really snobbish since he was young. Just how did he grow this Mind's Eye?!

Even she felt a chill in her heart at the thought of Cui Niang having such a daughter.

Shen Lian was stunned, and Grandma Cui did not fight back. She shouted for her servant woman to help her into the carriage, and walked quickly.

"The Cui Family is in the wrong." Xiu Ying sat in the carriage and sighed.

Shen Junxiao was still feeling disgusted for Grandma Cui. Her Cui Family always bullied them with a child, which was simply shameless.

He agreed, "Yes."

Xiu Ying was truly amused by her third uncle. This was too protective. She held his arm happily and said sweetly, "Third Uncle is the best!"

The little girl's closeness caused the unhappiness in Shen Jun's heart to vanish like smoke in thin air. It was so fast that even he himself felt that it was strange. He wasn't sure about this feeling, but he felt happy about it.

The two came home early. Madam Feng was a little surprised: "Why did they come here?"

Shen Jun smiled as he stood under the lantern. His handsome face had a jade-like glow to it. "I was afraid that something might have happened and I'm afraid that I'm not safe. I'll be returning first."

Madam Feng hurriedly asked if the two of them were injured, and upon learning that they were fine, she heaved a sigh of relief. She then said to the youth: "I've caused Third Uncle more trouble."

Shen Jun smiled and nodded his head, saying, "Eldest Sister-in-Law is too polite. I met Grandma Cui on the way here today and greeted her."

Xiu Ying didn't expect him to directly bring up this matter. Her obsidian eyes stared at him, but Shen Jun smiled and didn't say anything more. She then saluted and left.

Xiu Ying was at a loss for words. Madam Feng watched as the young man walked away with the lantern, thinking for a moment before leading her daughter inside.

"Did that Grandma Cui make things difficult for you?"

"She wanted her daughter to give her a gift, but Third Uncle rejected her with a single word."

Madam Feng was a little surprised by her daughter's answer. In her impression, this brother-in-law never liked to speak freely.

"Shen Lian was afraid that the matter with Grandma Cui would make you angry, so she pretended to faint and let Grandma Cui go." Xiu Ying snorted.

Madam Feng said, "In the future, you don't have to be so polite when you meet people from the Cui Family."

No matter what status the Cui Family held, Aunt Cui was now a member of the Shen Family, a concubine of the main concubine. As a concubine of the main concubine, how could she be afraid of this concubine!

Xiu Ying raised her face, and said seriously, "Naturally, they are not polite."

Madam Feng lifted her hand to stroke the top of her hair, and understood Shen Junxiao's intention in bringing up the matter.

Even he couldn't bear to see the Cui Family in such a state, so how could she let her daughter suffer any more grievances?
