At noon, they had dinner at the Conning Courtyard, so they went to the garden together to listen to the play.

The Shen family was reunited and bustling with noise and excitement.

The juniors all sat at the back, letting the servants place round tables. The tables were filled with small mouths as they chattered on. The older ones all quietly accompanied Old Lady Shen to listen to the show.

After the performance, Old Lady Shen's mood improved a lot. She knew that it was boring for the crowd to just accompany her and listen to her play, so she sent someone to carry over the square table, intending to play a card game with her two daughter-in-law. On the other hand, the three of them felt bored.

Second Master Shen thought for a moment before ordering his men to play chess with Master Shen. In front of Old Lady Shen, Shen Junxiao was still giving face to his brother, acting as a spectator.

The Shen Mansion was bustling with noise and excitement all the way until evening.

After receiving the reward, the troupe came to express their gratitude. When Old Madam Shen saw that the class rep was unfamiliar with her, she exclaimed, "Your class rep has actually changed."

He had a pair of slanted eyes, and although he was smiling, he always made people uncomfortable.

It gave people a feeling of treachery.

Madam Feng had already anticipated this matter. Only now did she recall and look over.

His first impression was the same as Old Madam Shen's, feeling that this person did not have a friendly face.

Although that class rep's appearance was not very pleasing, his speech was still very skillful. It even made Old Lady Shen laugh. The bad impression that had been left on her dissipated quite a bit.

The troupe left, and after dinner, Xiu Ying could no longer sit still.

Shen Junxiao knew that she was just waiting for him to go out and look at the lights. After he drank some tea, he took the initiative to ask her, and the little lass laughed until her eyes were like crescent moons.

Hearing that, Shen Yu Guan was displeased, pestering Master Shen Er to go out and look at the lights, Master Shen Er originally doted on the child, naturally he agreed with a smile.

Master Shen looked at the happy second branch, then realized that Xiu Ying was ignoring him. He felt quite upset. He turned his head and saw his youngest daughter looking at him expectantly. He then said: "Second girl, I'll take you out to look at the lights. There's nothing going on left or right."

Shen Lian was overjoyed as she thanked her father profusely. That grateful look of hers finally allowed Master Shen to regain his sense of existence as the head of his family.

Xiu Ying happened to step out of the doorway, and when she heard the movement behind her, she pursed her lips, pulling on Shen Jun's sleeve. "We won't meet on the road, will we?"

The youth couldn't help but laugh.

"Nope."

Absolutely sure.

Xiu Ying's small face blossomed into a smile again. She let Zhiruo help her put on the cloak and followed Shen Jun's laughter out of the mansion.

Shen Junxiao had already made an appointment with his schoolmate, and because of Yu Ying's request, he had asked for another appointment with the Chen siblings. They had arranged for a meeting in front of the stone bridge by the river.

"Tch!"

Chen Jiayi, who had been waiting for a long time, saw a black horse slowly coming over and waved at the man on the horse.

Xiu Ying laughed as she took off her hat and waved back. "You guys are really early." When she looked again, Zhou Mingyi was also there, along with a little boy and a little girl around her age.

"Lord Third." Shen Jun, who had just dismounted from his horse, saluted him with a smile.

Shen Jun returned the greeting, then pulled Xiu Ying off the horse, "It's rare to see you two bring your sister-in-law out."

Xu Liu scratched his head and said, "They're fine even if big miss Shen comes."

The two children were already bowing courteously to Shen and smiling shyly at Yu Ying.

The boy was from the Xu Family, and the girl was from the Zhou Family. The two of them were younger than Xiu Ying.

As he spoke, he lowered his head and took out two round silver flowers from his bag, giving one to each of them.

"A greeting gift." Xiu Ying said.

The two of them were a little nervous as they raised their heads to look at their elder brother. When they saw him nod, they extended their hands to receive him, saying, "Thank you."

Chen Jiayi shouted, "You're too biased. The first time you saw me, I didn't have this!"

Xiu Ying immediately covered her purse. "My mother gave it to you, so there's nothing left for you!"

He looked very angry.

Chen Jiayi stepped forward to pinch her face, and the two of them started to laugh and play, which made everyone laugh. After the small meeting, on Wednesday the young lady and Second Young Master Xu were much more relaxed as they took the initiative to talk to the two of them.

Shen Jun smiled as he saw the four children gathered together and mumbling to themselves. He felt that it was quite interesting.

"Do you want to go to the river to look at the lights, or do you want to go to the street to see the lights?" Zhou Mingyi asked for everyone's opinion.

Xu Liu said: "If you want to look at the lights first, if you have something nice to look at, you can buy one for them. If there was no one we liked, we would go to the street corner. At that time, most probably all the fans of the lamp would have been broken. It was hard to guess whether they were still there or not. Those lights are also a bit more delicate. "

Everyone felt that the suggestion was reasonable, so they all smiled and walked towards the river.

Fourth Treasure and Zhi-er had arrived in a small carriage, guarding their master as he made his way to the scene.

There weren't many people at the riverside this time. A line of people were lining up in front of the stalls selling lanterns. Xiu Ying and the others were all dazzled by what they saw. While they were picking and picking, none of them felt the same.

Shen Junxiao saw that his children had tired of walking, so he let them sit in front of the stall selling beans for a while.

Xiu Ying was eating a sweet bean flower with a face full of satisfaction. While she was talking with Chen Jiayi, she looked behind her and saw Zhi'er standing up.

Even as she was thinking, Zhi`er had already charged into the crowd, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

"Zhi`er?" Xiu Ying stood up and looked at the crowd.

Shen Jun smiled as he returned her to her seat. He then instructed the four treasures, "You should go take a look."

On the other side, Zhi`er wordlessly left because she saw a familiar figure.

She was a person that she wished she could tear apart even in her dreams.

She stumbled through the crowd, but there were too many people who came to admire the lantern. In the blink of an eye, the figure was drowned by a sea of people.

Where did he go?!

Where is he?!

It's been so long, I finally saw him. How can I let him run away!

Zhi`er's eyes turned red with anxiety as she squeezed her way through the crowd. Suddenly, a hand grabbed her. Subconsciously, she moved away, and the Four Treasures grabbed onto her tightly. "Zhi`er! San Ye told me to come find you! This young lady is also worried about you! "

The familiar voice pulled Zhi`er back to reality as she froze in shock.

Seeing that she finally stopped running around, Fourth Treasure heaved a sigh of relief. With a serious tone, he said, "What's wrong with you? It doesn't matter what it is. If you run away like this without a word, when you encounter danger, Lord Third will not save you again! "

If San Ye hadn't happened to pass by last time, this girl would have already died.

Why didn't he know that he was afraid of risking his life!

"I …" Zhi-er pursed her lips. "I think I saw that person."

That person?

"Your senior brother?!" Fourth Treasure's expression changed as he nervously looked around before pulling her back.

He grumbled: "You saw him, and you actually chased after him! You didn't know he was crazy! I almost took your life the last time! "

Zhi-er allowed him to pull her away. Her red eyes were filled with tears, but she held it in and did not let herself cry.

Four Treasure saw that she was not in a good position to say anything. It wouldn't be too much to say that her Senior Brother was a beast, but for the sake of Zhi-er's medicine store and ancestral formula, he actually killed her parents.

Four Treasures sighed and offered the handkerchief to her to wipe her eyes, but he was still wary of his surroundings.

"Let's go back quickly. I'll tell San Ye about this later."

"Fourth Treasure, thank you." Zhi-er finally recovered and took a deep breath to express her thanks.

Four Treasures muttered that there was no need, and quickly pulled her back. Only after seeing their master did they truly relax.
