A fiery red horse, eyes like bright stars, gentle and reserved.
He exuded a chilling killing intent, and when his gaze swept over Chen Shi, his eyes seemed to hold the vastness of a thousand troops. However, when his gaze met Chen Zhiyi's, it was tinged with a touch of tenderness.
He nimbly dismounted, gave her a smile that was full of indulgence and doting affection.
"Who is this?" the onlookers whispered among themselves.
"You don't even recognize him? This is the young master of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion—"
"Shen Jingchuan".
Shen Zhiyi stared intently at the person not far away, her breathing becoming rapid, and even her eyes turning slightly red.
In her past life, her elder brother died in western Sichuan. He didn't even make it back to Beijing before he was gone. As the weather grew hotter, his body was cremated before it could be transported back to the capital. What she saw...
There was only a handful of ashes.
Shen Jingchuan beckoned to her, just like when they were children.
Shen Zhiyi stood there, stunned, unable to move forward.
The next second,
Shen Jingchuan suddenly curled his lips into a slight smile, took a few strides to stand in front of her, and said, "What's wrong? Your older brother is greeting you, and you're not going to acknowledge him? You've got quite a temper?"
Having finally seen her family, Shen Zhiyi had a thousand words in her heart, but they were stuck in her throat and she couldn't say them.
"If you don't go there, your brother will come to find you himself, won't that work?"
Shen Jingchuan bowed, his gaze level with hers.
"Why are your eyes red? Were you scared? You won't even call me 'brother' anymore?"
"Big brother," Shen Zhiyi murmured.
"Good girl—" Shen Jingchuan ruffled her hair.
He spoke to his sister in a gentle tone.
Then she noticed Wen Qing being supported by a maid on the side and nodded politely to her.
But his gaze shifted and landed on Chen, whose face had turned deathly pale with fright. Suddenly, his eyes sharpened, revealing a murderous intent.
"Don't worry, with your big brother here, no one will dare to bully you." His gaze then fell on Song Yuxiu, who was lying on the side. He was injured and was groaning as he clutched his wound. When he saw Shen Jingchuan, he hurriedly greeted him and called him "big brother."
Shen Jingchuan's lips curled into a mocking smile: "Who is Prince Song calling elder brother?"
"I……"
Song Yuxiu's lips twitched violently, and he suddenly gasped, his body swaying. His attendant Qian Si hurriedly supported him and looked at Shen Zhiyi: "Madam, the young master was injured while saving you. You should take him to the clinic as soon as possible."
"I...I'm fine, just a minor injury." Song Yuxiu's voice was weak. "As long as Zhiyi is alright, I'd give my life for her."
The people were all astonished:
"The Crown Prince of Song is truly devoted to his wife."
"Of course, otherwise why would he risk his life for her?"
Song Yuxiu was secretly pleased with himself, but Shen Jingchuan sneered and poured cold water on his enthusiasm:
"Saving her, isn't that what you should be doing?"
"Your own mother committed a violent act in the street, and you, as her son, bear absolutely no responsibility? If you had simply stayed away from my sister, she wouldn't have been so terrified."
"You've taken a mistress, and I heard you even want to demote your wife to a concubine? Then don't come here pretending to be so sentimental!"
"Even a dog is more loyal than you!"
The implication is:
In his eyes, Song Yuxiu was not even as good as a dog!
The scumbag's face instantly turned dark.
By this time, Mr. Chen had recovered from his shock.
Why is Shen Jingchuan back?
Of the three sons of the Shen family, only the youngest son was physically weak and studied military strategy. The other two sons were in the army, especially this young master, who looked gentle but had a lot of blood on his hands. He was truly capable of killing.
Her legs trembled, and they were so weak that she could barely stand.
Seeing Shen Jingchuan talking to Shen Zhiyi, she tried to sneak away, but...
The next moment,
Shen Jingchuan's gaze remained fixed on his younger sister, but he had already drawn the spear that was stuck diagonally into the ground. With a flick of his arm, the spear locked Chen's throat.
She was instantly terrified!
“Yu, Yuxiu…” she instinctively turned to her son for help.
As a result, the spear swept across her back, knocking Chen to the ground.
A mouthful of blood spurted out instantly!
Her spine felt as if it were about to be broken; the pain was so intense it almost numbed her. Song Yuxiu rushed over, crying, "Mother—"
"Committing a crime in the street, arrest him and take him to the authorities." Shen Jingchuan gave his deputy a wink, and someone immediately stepped forward and forcibly arrested Chen.
“Brother, my mother…” Song Yuxiu began, then changed his words, “Young Master, my mother was injured before and has not yet recovered. She recently suffered too much shock and lost her mind, which is why she accidentally injured Zhiyi. She didn’t do it on purpose!”
"Zhiyi, please, for the sake of me saving you, plead for my mother."
"Her body simply couldn't withstand it if she were captured..."
The key point is,
Their plan might be exposed!
So Song Yuxiu became a little anxious, "Zhiyi, my mother has really gone mad."
He clutched his wound, looking pitiful, and tried to reach out and take Chen Zhiyi's hand, but...
Shen Jingchuan actually raised his foot!
Kick him to the ground!
He may have looked gentle, but he was a seasoned warrior, hardened by countless battles. His kicks were incredibly ruthless; he sent the man flying, crashing into a small stall to the side.
The pain made him grimace instantly, and his already deep wound was torn open and enlarged once more.
"Get away from me, don't touch my sister!"
"Yuxiu!" Seeing her son being beaten, Madam Chen was furious, but he was being held and couldn't move. "Shen Jingchuan, have you gone mad!"
"Young Master!" Qian Si hurriedly helped his master up. "My young master was injured while saving the lady. Even if you have made a meritorious contribution and will soon be rewarded by the Emperor, you must not be arrogant and fight with him."
"After all, the Lady Hou is the Crown Prince's biological mother. Even if she has lost her mind, as her son, I must protect her."
