Shen Jun Xiao was extremely familiar with the patterns on the small mooncake.

Moreover, there were the words royal kitchen on top of the mooncake.

This was in the middle of the autumn of each year. The empress ordered the imperial kitchens to make a gift cake for the meritorious officials of the court. Whoever obtains this means that they must have written this down in the heart of the emperor. It was either a meritorious general or an influential official.

"Liu Fu, this biscuit was not made in the mansion, where did it come from?" The Shen family has yet to receive this reward.

Xiu Ying recovered from the delicious food, looked at the mooncake with a tired look and said, "It was given to me by the little overlord, he really is annoying." Even a mooncake is so tyrannical. "

It was that stinking brat again.

Du Yicheng did not take his warning seriously at all.

Shen Jun smiled and his gaze turned dark. As the young man was facing away from the light, Xiu Ying raised her head and saw the bridge of his nose. The slightly drooping eyelashes were very long, and they cast a large shadow. In this way, the mood of the youth, who had never revealed his true emotions, became even more indiscernible.

However, Ying Ying could sense that her third uncle was unhappy.

Her third uncle was always like this when he was unhappy. His eyes were half closed and the corners of his lips were pursed. His entire person turned back into the usual cold and aloof aura that was seen by outsiders. There was even a hint of sharpness in his demeanor.

Xiu Ying was startled, but quickly realized that her third uncle was probably unhappy about this mooncake.

Last time, Third Uncle had beaten up the little overlord. Could it be that he wasn't going to beat him up again? She thought for a while and hurriedly said, "However, the little overlord must have good intentions and wants to give me a Boxing Ceremony."

"Who is he? Tell him to give you a festival gift." Shen Jun's cold smile emerged from his lips.

Xiu Ying froze again.

Not only was he unhappy, he was also clearly angry. She didn't know what to say.

He was even a bit upset.

Third Uncle had called her for dinner, which had originally been a joyous affair, but had been stirred up by the little tyrant with a piece of mooncake.

The little girl immediately became listless.

Shen Junxiao realized that he had lost control of his emotions the moment he said those words. It was rare for him to be unable to control his emotions.

He slowed down and took a deep breath. Lowering his head, he saw the self-reproach on the little girl's face.

What did it have to do with her? She was upset first, and it wasn't her fault that he was angry.

"Do you hate him?" Shen Jun's voice softened.

Xiu Ying's eyes were wide and clear. She honestly said, "Sometimes, I hate him."

The youth then laughed and raised his hand to stroke his hair. "Third uncle knows now. Quickly, let's wash our hands and use the rice."

Because Shen Jun had just been angry, the little girl had stood aside, not daring to move. Hearing these words, she lowered her head and stepped forward to give Xiu Ying a clean hand.

Shen Junxiao's anger disappeared just as quickly as it appeared. Xiu Ying heaved a sigh of relief. In the next moment, she discovered that something was wrong.

How did her third uncle know that this mooncake didn't come from the manor?

However, the mooncake had already been put away by Shen Junxiao, so she didn't dare to ask anymore. It had become a mystery to her just like that.

After having a hearty meal in Mu Xi Yuan, Xiu Ying rubbed her stomach as she sat in her chair, a satisfied expression on her face.

In the chair, she looked just like a cute little kitten that was wrapping itself around itself.

Ever since she was reborn, Xiu Ying's behavior became even more carefree. No matter how comfortable she was, this was in front of her doting third uncle.

Shen Junxiao felt that this little girl was rather childish, lacking a lot in comparison to the little girl who had helped to clear the Feng family of all suspicions. This was what a little child should be like.

Shen Jun smiled as he poured some tea for her. Xiu Ying got up and took a big gulp. Her mouth was wet, and a drop of tea flowed down her small chin.

"It's going to touch the clothes." Shen Jun smiled as he saw this. Then, he lifted his hand to wipe it away for her.

When the warm fingertip touched her, the little girl was startled. She glanced sideways and saw the youth's handsome face. She silently retreated a few steps.

Shen had taken back his finger and dried the handkerchief, so he didn't notice. Xiu Ying's face turned hot for some unknown reason.

In her heart, she was a grown woman. With a man suddenly getting close to her, her instincts were still uncomfortable.

It only took a while for Xiu Ying to calm down. Third uncle didn't know that she was not a child anymore. It wouldn't be good if she behaved strangely.

The little girl raised her head with a smile and said sweetly, "Thank you, Third Uncle."

"No need to thank me."

"Then I'll go back first." As she spoke, Xiu Ying jumped down from the chair, waved towards the youth, and called for the little girl to leave.

Shen Jun smiled as he stood by the door and watched her leave. When her figure disappeared, the faint smile on his face vanished completely.

"Get ready, I'll go to the banquet tomorrow." He turned around and instructed.

"Yes." Four Treasures nodded. However, he was confused. Didn't San Ye say he wasn't going?

After seeing the lord enter the room, he thought that there were other things he had yet to report and chased after him. "Master San, there really is someone putting food in the kitchen …" It was already dark and he had asked Zhiruo to investigate what it was. She hadn't been alerted yet … "

The door closed at this moment, and Four Treasures' voice could no longer be heard.

Xiu Ying returned to the courtyard and saw that all the little girls and grandmothers were busy. She curiously looked at them a few times. He entered the house and found Shen Lian there too.

Shen Lian was shocked quite badly, after crying for two days in the room, she became sick and the school also took a leave of absence. Xiu Ying had not seen her for some time.

Tsk tsk … It seemed like it had been reduced in size, but that delicate attitude of hers made her seem even more pitiful.

Xiu Ying looked her up and down a few times before losing her interest. She walked over to Madam Feng who was drinking tea and asked, "Mother, what are you busy with?"

"You naughty kid, you're back after eating delicious food." Mrs. Feng saw that her daughter was sweating and took out a handkerchief to wipe her sweat away.

Although it was autumn now, the weather was still hot from the autumn tiger and the autumn tiger, and it was even hotter than it was a few days ago.

Xiu Ying raised her face together with Madam Feng and said, "The Eternal Ping Marquis' Mansion has posted a reward for the chrysanthemum feast tomorrow. I've asked someone to prepare a present for the feast tomorrow."

Xiu Ying's brows creased. "Mother is going to agree to the marriage, but the holidays will be held in two days. Are you alright at home?"

"The Crown Prince's wife is giving the Shen family face, so she definitely has to go. Besides, the Crown Prince has also invited the Master, so it would be better if I didn't go." Not only me, you also have to follow me. "

The person who came specially said that there would be other girls from other families that would also come, so naturally, their daughter from the Shen family had to go as well.

Madam Feng was still thinking that since her daughter was already learning from the head of the family, there was bound to be a lot of social interaction between them and it would be good for them to interact more with others.

Xiu Ying's shoulder collapsed upon hearing this.

No wonder the little overlord's tone told her that she had to go!

When Madam Feng saw her bitter face, she thought it was because she didn't want to go out. With a smile, she told her in a soft voice some etiquette for going to the banquet. Shen Lian sat to one side, her hands constantly twisting her handkerchief.

Shen Ying didn't want to go, but she couldn't.

Marquis Yongping's Mansion, what kind of family was that? But she still knew her own reputation and knew that it was better for her to not go anywhere right now. Otherwise, he would only be seeking his own disgrace.

Her mother had probably become the laughingstock of the Yongping Estate.

Shen Lian felt like crying again, and quickly excused herself. This time around, she was quite tactful. She didn't want to curry favor with Feng Shi, so she went to the banquet as well. Madam Feng gently asked her to withdraw.

A concubine could be magnanimous, but she had to understand the rules and the bottom line.

The Feng family was satisfied with Shen Lian's performance.

The next day, Xiu Ying reluctantly dressed up and followed. When the three people from the main house got on the carriage near the drooping flower gate, they accidentally saw another figure. The young lady happily jogged over. "Third Uncle, where are you going?"

"Slow down." Xiu Ying was wearing a complicated outfit today. Shen Jun smiled as he reached out to support the little girl. "I'm going with you."

Old Master Shen's expression immediately darkened when he heard this.
