"Third uncle!"

Just as Shen Junxiao squeezed out of the crowd, a small figure rushed towards her with a cheerful voice.

Shen Jun smiled as he extended his hand to catch the little girl flying towards him. He did not know whether to laugh or cry as he told her, "Uncle's body is dirty. Stay away from me."

He had been in the exam grounds for three days, yet he couldn't wash up.

Xiu Ying, on the other hand, didn't care. She smiled and reached out to take his bag. How could Shen Jun Xiao be willing to let her take it? He then handed it over to the guard.

"Let's go back." Shen Jun smiled as he moved his arms, not knowing what to do with this little girl.

Xiu Ying smiled sweetly and answered with a crisp voice.

He had only taken two steps when he heard someone call out to him. Shen Junxiao turned his head to look and saw that it was Zhou Mingyi and Xu Liu. Behind Xu Liu stood a few steps a little girl with a face full of disdain.

It was his first sister.

Shen Jun smiled as he raised his brows, before glancing at the young lady who was still holding onto his sleeve.

Sure enough, it was their family who had caused such pain to people. Some people were actually disliked by their direct relatives' younger sisters.

The two people Zhou Mingyi and Li Xueyi came only to greet him. They circled around the exam questions and said a few words before passing. After exiting the exam grounds, they truly did not have much energy left.

Along the way back to the Shen Mansion, Old Madam Shen was waiting at the Duskflower Sect. When she saw her youngest son returning, she greeted him warmly. Her solicitous attitude was in stark contrast to Second Master Shen and his family.

The smile on Xiu Ying's face slowly faded.

Shen Junxiao wanted to return to the courtyard to rest first, so he didn't notice the change in the young lady's mood. When he heard about it after he took a bath, he too fell silent.

He hadn't expected his mother to have such a different temper.

This had hurt his second brother and his second sister-in-law's heart. It was no wonder that their family would not be able to survive for so many years.

The old man's temper was also a problem.

Shen Jun forced himself to pull himself together and sent a letter to Master Shen, comforting him about the matter. After writing the letter in such a fluent manner, he could no longer hold on and fell asleep immediately.

Madam Feng knew that the Imperial examinations had been a trial for many people. Old Lady Shen wanted to help her youngest son arrange a feast to cheer him on, but Madam Feng stopped her.

Old Madam Shen cared a lot about Shen Jun's smile. When she heard Madam Feng say that this would only result in him being unable to rest, she agreed to follow whatever she said. Let Shen Jun laugh for the next two days to have a good rest, even peace was spared.

On the other hand, it was Xiu Ying who had snuck into Mu Xi Yuan while Shen Jun was resting with a smile on his face. When she found out that Shen Jun had just woken up, she smiled happily in front of him.

This made Shen Jun laugh in surprise.

Four Treasures shrugged at the inquiring gaze from his master.

He couldn't be the girl's mistress. He didn't dare to rush her if she wanted to wait for him.

Xiu Ying didn't care what Shen Jun was thinking. She started to instruct the little girl to set the food. Then, she pulled him down to a seat and handed him the chopsticks.

Third Uncle, you've worked hard. You can continue sleeping after you've eaten your fill.

The little girl was sprawled on the table, her chin resting on her hands.

Shen Jun laughed softly and said, "Other people raise pigs in the same way."

Xiu Ying laughed out loud at his analogy. Seeing him continue to eat, she also felt very satisfied.

She had to show her filial piety to her third uncle.

It was actually very late. After Shen Jun finished his meal, he heard the sound of the second watch of the night watch. He returned to his room and retrieved his cloak for the little girl. "I'll send you back."

Xiu Ying was already sleepy, but she forced her eyes open.

She stood up, and suddenly there was a clap of thunder outside. Xiu Ying cried out in fright. Shen Jun laughed as he held her in his arms.

"Don't be afraid!"

Shen Jun gently patted the little girl's back, and Yingxiu could hear her heart beating faster and faster.

She didn't know why she became so agitated.

Perhaps it was due to the fright from earlier, or perhaps it was due to Shen Jun Xiao subconsciously protecting her, or perhaps it was because he was her Third Uncle who doted on her the most.

This feeling of being protected by someone was really good.

Xiu Ying quickly calmed down, and one by one, the thunder outside continued to thunder. Without waiting for Shen Jun to laugh out loud to see the weather, a torrential downpour came crashing down.

The entire world was covered in a haze.

"I don't think you'll be able to leave in a short time."

Looking at the pouring rain, Shen Jun smiled and patted Xiu Ying's head. "I'll get someone to report to Sis. You should rest here tonight. It's raining heavily, don't let the wind catch you."

The main thing was that he didn't know how long it would take and it was already very late.

Xiu Ying bit her lips. Feeling that something was wrong, she asked hesitantly, "Won't it be too much trouble for third uncle?"

She looked like a child now, but her soul was that of an adult. It was really awkward.

"It doesn't matter." Shen Jun smiled, not knowing what she was worried about. He patted her on the head and ordered the four treasures to go with him.

Four Treasures ran faster than a rabbit, giving Xiu Ying no chance to speak.

"You guys go to the West Room and pack up. I'll stay there for the night. You can sleep in my room. "

Ah?

Xiu Ying was dumbfounded again.

She quickly said, "No, I'll just sleep in for a bit!"

Shen Jun laughed but did not agree. He put on a stern face and spoke in the tone of an elder, "Obey."

Xiu Ying immediately became listless. She was still afraid of this kind of Third Uncle. This was something that no matter how old she was, she couldn't change!

The little girl could only uneasily agree. Pang'er had followed along as well, and it just so happened that there was a change of clothes for Xiu Ying in Shen Jun's room, which was quite cheap.

The two girls accompanied their mistress to the main house. After Xiu Ying laid down, Shen Jun smiled and went in to take a look, and even pinched a quilt.

"Sleep well. If you are afraid at night, then let Ping'er or Zhi'er sleep with you. Third Uncle doesn't have anything to pay attention to. "

Xiu Ying blinked and replied. However, she didn't really think so.

This was Third Uncle's bed, so how could she dare let the little girl sleep here? Just sleeping here was already more than enough!

Shen Jun smiled as he saw that she was well-behaved. Then, he instructed Pingzhi'er to wake up at night before turning around and leaving.

The sound of the door being closed rang out. Xiu Ying stared at the ceiling of the tent as she kept on convincing herself that she was now a child, that it was all right. However, the faint smoky fragrance coming from the boy's body assaulted her nose, making it even harder for her to bear while lying in bed.

However, Xiu Ying thought that it would be hard for her to fall asleep, so she slowly closed her eyes in self-consolation. She slept extremely peacefully, not even knowing that Shen Jun had come to see her in the middle of the night when he was still worried.

The night passed without any dreams. As soon as he opened his eyes, the sky would brighten.

Xiu Ying followed her usual habits and got off the bed to put on her shoes. When she saw that the makeup table was empty, she was startled for a moment.

"— I'm so sleepy!" She raised her hand and knocked on her head. This was the room where Shen Jun smiled.

Hearing the noise, the screen ran up to her and crouched down to help her put on her embroidered shoes.

"The girl slept soundly last night. In the middle of the night there was thunder again. Lord San was worried and came to see the young lady. " As a result, the girl slept like a little pig and even snored.

Ping'er did not dare to say these things and could only secretly laugh.

Xiu Ying felt a bit awkward listening to this. She was actually sleeping like that, and she felt like she only said half of what she was going to say.

However, before she could think too much about it, Zhi-er, who was fetching water, had returned as well. The two girls were hurriedly helping her wash up and change her clothes. When Xiu Ying brought Jiao Er to the hall, Shen Junxiao was already sitting there drinking tea.

The youth had a gentle expression on his face, and when he saw her smile, a hint of happiness appeared in his eyes.

He pointed to the seat on the round table and said, "Sit. You'll be able to eat in a while." As he spoke, he thought of something and asked, "Did you sleep well last night?"

Xiu Ying sat down and looked up at him, puzzled.

Why did third uncle ask if he came to see her yesterday?

When Xiu Ying met his gaze, she felt that it was extremely strange, but she could only nod in agreement.

She was indeed sleeping soundly.

The young man just chuckled twice. It wasn't that he was sleeping soundly, but that the little girl could even snore loudly.

The smile on his face made Xiu Ying even more confused.

Are they so happy that she slept so well?!
