With his own trump card in mind, Shen Qingye's courage grew uncontrollably. And then, just as he heard that the tyrant was away in the evening, how could he miss such a golden opportunity?

So he came.

When he arrived, he was agile and dashing, like a free little bird. Who could have imagined that he would almost ruin his precious manhood!

Shen Qingye clutched his groin in extreme pain, suffering terribly.

He knew that wherever Shen Jiao was, nothing good would come of it!

Shen Jiao looked at Shen Qingye, who was rolling on the ground in pain, and was very puzzled.

No, do all the rich people here have some kind of problem with their brains?

Why would a noble young master from the royal city choose to climb through someone else's window and become a petty thief?

A hint of undisguised doubt and disdain flashed in Shen Jiao's eyes.

When Shen Qingye saw the look in her eyes, he would have jumped up in anger if his manhood hadn't almost died.

If it weren't for the tyrant's power, would the second young master of the Marquis of Anbo's mansion have turned into a petty thief to break through windows?

How could she dare to despise him?

Not only that, they even went so far as to introduce him to become a eunuch.

If Shen Qingye was furious about being caught climbing over the wall, then Shen Jiao's introduction of him to Gaminggen was a blatant insult to him!

A man can endure insults, but he cannot be told he is no good!

Shen Qingye angrily rebuked, "What kind of look is that!"

Shen Jiao: "The look a normal person should have."

She felt that her gaze was already very polite.

If this were an ordinary young girl, she would have arrested and whipped him as a criminal.

If she had even a fraction of the tyrant's volatile temper, the Qinglang Sword would already be at his neck.

Shen Jiao suddenly felt that it was so hard to be a good person. She kindly helped him find a way out, so why was he still angry?

Shen Qingye choked, feeling that his elder brother had lost face, and roared, "What are you doing in the middle of the night instead of sleeping! What kind of trouble are you planning now! Don't you know that scaring people can be deadly!"

In my memory, Shen Jiao was always a troublemaker, always getting into trouble. Even when there was solid evidence, she would never admit it, and her behavior was extremely shameful.

As always, Shen Qingye subconsciously criticized Shen Jiao without considering the consequences.

Shen Jiao: "???" Are you alright?

She immediately gained a deeper understanding of the shamelessness of Shen Qingye, that idiot.

It's true, a tree without bark will surely die, and a person without shame is invincible.

Shen Jiao was silent for a moment: "...If I remember correctly, this is my room. Shouldn't I be the one asking you that?"

Shen Qingye: "..."

After he finished speaking, he realized that something was wrong. He could apologize to Shen Yu, but he couldn't bring himself to apologize to Shen Jiao.

Moreover, it's not his fault. If Shen Jiao hadn't suddenly appeared and startled him, he wouldn't have fallen, and if he hadn't fallen, he wouldn't have been in so much pain that he lost his mind and said those things.

Ultimately, it's all Shen Jiao's fault.

Shen Qingye is very concerned about his reputation.

It was already embarrassing enough to twist into a pretzel in front of Shen Jiao. Despite the pain in a certain part of his body not having completely subsided, he still insisted on leaning against the wall and stood up shakily.

In situations like this, regardless of her mood, Shen Jiao would immediately step forward to help him up.

The thought of the two of them getting so close filled Shen Qingye with a hundredfold displeasure. His brows furrowed tightly, and his disgust and disdain were evident on his face.

He would rather Shen Yu help him than Shen Jiao. Yu'er has been well-behaved, considerate, sensible and obedient since she was a child, but at this moment, he has no other choice but Shen Jiao.

That's enough.

If Shen Jiao really wanted to show off, she should be given a rare opportunity to help her today, so Shen Qingye thought.

He glanced at Shen Jiao, indicating that she could come forward to help him. He pointed to his sleeve, meaning that she could help him, but she must not touch his hand.

Unexpectedly, Shen Jiao remained indifferent and stood motionless, seemingly tired of standing. She simply sat on a stone bench in the courtyard and watched coldly.

Shen Qingye: "!!!" Do you even know what you're doing?!

Shen Jiao couldn't understand Shen Qingye's meaning at all; he just thought he was incredibly stupid.

To be honest, she even thought he was a bit like the gorilla in the zoo that gets beaten up every day because of its low IQ.

Seeing that Shen Jiao not only didn't move but also swaggered down to sit, Shen Qingye was instantly enraged. "Are you blind? What are you standing there for? Come and help me!"

His disapproval of her helping him up is one thing, and her not intending to help him up is another.

Yu'er is definitely the best. If Yu'er were here, he wouldn't have needed to say all this! He really has no sense of propriety at all.

"Why should I help you?" Shen Jiao crossed her legs and rolled her eyes.

I'm already being incredibly kind and compassionate by not kicking you out, okay?

Shen Qingye gritted his teeth: "Because I'm your brother!"

Shen Jiao retorted, not to be outdone: "I'm still your father!"

These days, there are all sorts of weirdos. He can't even be a thief, yet he tries to claim kinship with someone. Does Shen Qingye think she'll help him out like this?

dream.

Shen Qingye was stunned.

Although he appears arrogant on the outside, at home he is not only afraid of the old Marquis and his own elder brother, but also afraid of his father, Marquis Anbo.

Now that Shen Jiao has a powerful backer, he's really grown up. Not only does he dare to disown his second brother, but he even dares to be his father.

Shen Qingye was so angry his liver ached. He stood up by himself and said, "Shen Jiao! I'm your own brother! How dare you talk to me like that?"

Shen Jiao didn't believe it. How could someone as smart as her have such a terrible brother?

Furthermore, what kind of older brother is this?
