C108

It took some time for Shen Jun's smile to make Xiu Ying loosen her mouth. Master Shen's face was deeply etched with teeth. If it had lasted any longer, it would have been possible for a piece of his flesh to have been bitten off.

The girl's face was also covered in blood, making her look rather frightening.

Shen Junxiao had his men bring water and personally get a handkerchief to clean her face. However, from then on, the little girl did not say a single word and her gaze towards others was cold.

She seemed to be on guard against something, but at the same time, it was as if everyone had become her enemy that would harm her.

Shen Jun felt a pang in his heart when he saw this, but at the same time, he felt like sighing.

He didn't think that this little girl would do such an action. She pounced over like a wild beast, as if she could kill Master Shen with a single bite. How much hatred did she have?

The youth was still lost in his thoughts when he heard orderly footsteps outside. In between the footsteps, there was the clear sound of armor and weapons colliding.

Shen Jun naturally heard the commotion and smiled wryly.

Did the Marquis of Wuan's decision mean that he had transferred many troops over?

However, this was not the time to care about such things. The more people there were, the more at ease he would feel. This meant that Marquis Wu An was very concerned about Xiu Ying and her daughter.

It was the result he wanted to see the most.

He held the expressionless little girl and looked down at her.

The room was dimly lit, but the two of them were very close together. He could clearly see her exquisite facial features and the fine fur on her face.

"Liu Huang, don't be afraid. If anyone dares to bully you, no one will." He spoke softly, his hand tightening involuntarily.

"My apologies."

Just as Shen Jun finished laughing, a deep and powerful voice came from the door.

The tall man stepped into the room, the sunset behind him, his posture erect and imposing.

Shen Jun smiled as he put Xiu Ying down, then took her hand and calmly stood up.

As soon as Zhou Zhen entered the room, his line of sight was immediately attracted by an exquisite and adorable young lady.

He held his breath, almost looking at her.

It was a tiny oval face with five points of similar facial features. His hands could not help but tremble.

With just a glance, he was certain of it.

This was his daughter!

Although his face was still a bit more biased towards her mother, it was still quite similar to his elder brother's face by 70%.

Zhou Zhen walked up to him in quick steps. Zhou Jiayu followed closely behind, similarly excited.

The soldiers behind the father and son rushed in like the tide. Their expressions were solemn and their waists were flashing with cold light. That kind of invisible deterrence instantly shook everyone within the room.

Old Lady Shen was so frightened that her pupils contracted. She saw that the man who came in first had an imposing air and was dressed in tight clothes. However, the edges of his clothes were decorated with gold and silver coins. That was not something an ordinary person could wear!

She was scared witless while looking at the young man in luxurious clothing behind him. He had a golden crown and jade belt, and his noble aura was pressing down on her. He had a pair of sharp eyes that made people not dare to look him in the eye.

And the father and son pair's faces … She couldn't help but look at the little girl that her youngest son was holding, and she abruptly closed her eyes.

The faces of these three people were so similar.

She completely believed the words her youngest son said earlier. While she was shocked, she was also afraid.

This entire house was filled with soldiers with a frightening killing intent.

— What kind of person had the boss provoked!

"Tsui." Zhou Zhen ignored the fear in the eyes of the others in the room and walked over to the girl.

Xiu Ying's face was expressionless as she looked at Zhou Zhen half-kneeling in front of her, holding her hand and shouting, "Liu Huang!"

"I don't know you!" The little girl suddenly withdrew her hand.

Her actions caused Zhou Zhen's heart to ache. At this moment, Shen Jun felt an inexplicable sense of relief.

He felt that his strange mood was extremely abnormal.

Like her father, Zhou Jiayu knelt down on one knee. His eyes reddened as he whispered, "Don't be afraid, my father and I are here to bring you and your mother home."

Xiu Ying's fingertips trembled.

What father.

Which home?

The expression on her face finally changed, and her cold gaze contained doubt and shock.

Zhou Jiayu knew what was going on. He had just said some weird things in front of her last night.

Zhou Zhen once again pulled Xiu Ying's hand, only to discover that she was trembling.

He thought she was scared, and his heart was in pain. He held her close to his face, and said in a gentle voice, "No one can bully you anymore."

At this moment, Shen Junxiao stepped back a few steps, leaving some space for the three to speak. Old Lady Shen immediately took his hand.

Shen Junxiao could feel the cold touch of the old man's fingers, but for the first time, he did not calm her emotions. Instead, he gently pulled away, causing Old Lady Shen to be even more uncertain of herself.

Master Shen was helped into the inner room to clean up his wounds. When he came out, he saw two people with extraordinary clothing standing in front of Xiu Ying and a room full of soldiers.

At first, he was shocked by the soldiers' murderous aura until his scalp went numb. However, when he thought about what had happened today, he felt even more humiliated and angry. He opened his mouth, wanting to get people to throw Madam Feng and Xiu Ying out of the mansion.

Shen Jun smiled as he saw through his intentions. Walking to his side, he lightly said, "If I were brother, I would kneel in front of Xiu Ying and ask for forgiveness. This way, her father might be able to save brother."

Wh... What do you mean?

Great Master Shen suddenly widened his eyes as he looked in bewilderment at the father and daughter duo that had just reunited.

Old Lady Cui, whose mouth had always been sealed, wished she could faint at this moment.

Shen Jun had smiled and told Old Madam Shen that when she told him about Xiu Ying's origins, she had only thought that Shen Jun was the one who had laughed and threatened her. She knew that the Cui Family was truly finished when that noble young master said he was going to return home.

Old Lady Shen heard the conversation between the two brothers. She hurried over to her eldest son and told him everything that had been delayed. Shen Jun just stood there with a smile on his face, watching his brother fall to the ground at the last second.

There was no longer the dignity of a fourth rank official.

Master Shen's ears buzzed. This news was like a bolt of lightning, causing him to be stupefied.

How, how could this be?!

Feng Family... The Feng family was not the concubine of the Duke's Mansion, but … She was the direct daughter of the Old Protector! He was the direct wife of Marquis Wu An!

In his mind, he recalled the day he met the Feng Family. His body was in a sorry state and his hair was disheveled. Although his clothes were not bad, he was thousands of miles away from his current status.

Moreover, at that time, she had clearly said that she was the daughter of a concubine of the Imperial Protector's estate.

Later … Later, it was because he saw that Lady Feng was pretty, and because of the failure of the Imperial Examinations, he drank or not. The feeling of drunkenness assaulted his brain, and he came up with a bold idea.

He naturally knew what sort of family the Duke's Mansion was in the capital. He thought, since she is in trouble, so what if he saved her and wants her to repay him with her body? The Duke's Mansion, ah, as long as he had this layer of connections, his career as a official might still be worth saving.

He knew that even a concubine was something that many lower ranking officials would want to marry.

He used the effects of alcohol and thought of power to forcefully take over the Feng family.

He still remembered the Feng Family's desperate struggle.

Old Master Shen closed his eyes in some pain as his entire body trembled.

How could she be the direct descendant of the Royal House?!

How could that be?!

This was the direct wife of Marquis Wu An! The Marquis Wu, who had achieved great war achievements, was shaking with every stomp of his feet, as if his heart was about to shake!

He struggled to open his eyes. The middle-aged man's stern expression scared him into closing his eyes again. Fear swept over Master Shen like a tidal wave. He could not even breathe.
