At the critical moment, it was Song Xiaoya who stopped Shen Qiu Nian.
"Shen Yuhan is now in a very high position. Even if you go over and cause trouble, what can you expect?"
This sentence calmed Shen Qiunian down. He just felt it was hard to see the affection between Shen Yuhan and Fang Qingyue.
"Don't worry, my lord. I'll help you vent your anger." Song Xiaoya curled the corners of her lips and walked towards Shen Yuhan and Fang Qingyue.
She pretended to have met the two of them by chance, covering her lips and smiling, "Just now, when I saw the backs of my sister and the prince, I was wondering what kind of couple was so loving and envious. Now that I see that it's actually my sister here, I really can't envy them anymore."
"As a concubine, no matter how favored you are, it won't last forever. Sister knows this best, what do you think?"
Fang Qingyue also smiled when she heard this.
"She's no match for my younger sister. She's not a concubine, but she's even less favored than me. She's already had a miscarriage, and she's still unclaimed and unaffiliated, yet she still shamelessly wants to stay in the Marquis's mansion. It's truly ridiculous."
"But, don't you plan to have another child? Oh, is it possible that Shen Qiu Nian is not okay?"
Shen Yuhan was behind her, which gave her some confidence.
All the old and new grudges were now settled together, and Fang Qingyue didn't care about them at all when she spoke.
Chen Qiu Nian was so angry that he clenched his palms, wishing he could slap Fang Qingyue, the bitch, twice.
Who did she think she was? How dare she speak like that? Did she really think he was easy to mess with?
But since Shen Qiu Nian was there, he didn't dare to lose his temper and could only endure it with difficulty.
Unexpectedly, he was hit hard from behind and almost knocked down.
Chen Qiu Nian looked back and saw that it was a ragged little boy selling flowers. He immediately became furious and kicked the boy hard.
He didn't even try to hold back, and with a single kick, he knocked the child to the ground. The flower basket in his hand fell over, and the flowers inside were trampled to pieces.
The child's arms and legs scraped heavily against the ground, leaving a trail of blood.
He gaped in agony. Seeing the man in front of him dressed in unusual attire, he dared not cry out or demand compensation. He picked up the flower basket and, gritted his teeth, prepared to leave.
The next moment, Shen Qiu Nian grabbed his neck and lifted him up.
"You bastard, don't you have eyes? How dare you bump into me? Don't you know who I am?"
As he said this, he slapped the child hard, and his face quickly swelled up.
Shen Qiunian's movements were so fast that by the time Fang Qingyue and Shen Yuhan reacted, the child had already been slapped several times.
His mouth opened wide to scream in pain, but because his neck was being strangled, he couldn't make any sound. His face turned red and he looked like he would faint at any moment.
Fang Qingyue couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so she said sternly, "Chen Qiu Nian, you beat up people in the street, what on earth do you want to do?"
Hearing this, a sarcastic look flashed across Shen Qiunian's face.
"That brat dared to offend me like that. How despicable! I slapped him a few times, so what?"
As he said this, he was about to take action.
The golden melon seeds in Shen Yuhan's hand flew out and hit the acupuncture points on Shen Qiunian's arm, causing him to let go involuntarily.
The child fell to the ground and rolled and crawled towards the direction where Shen Yuhan and Fang Qingyue were.
He looked so pitiful. His tattered clothes could barely cover his frail body, and his face was filled with fear.
He didn't dare cry out loud until he crawled behind Fang Qingyue. His voice was as weak as a kitten, which made people feel distressed.
Fang Qingyue was furious for a moment and said coldly, "You are also a commoner, and so is he. How are you superior to him? Why are you clashing with him?"
What's more, there are so many people in the street, and they are shoulder to shoulder.
There were also many collisions.
Chen Qiu Nian didn't rent out the street market, so why shouldn't he allow others to bump into him?
"You!" All of a sudden, new and old grudges came up one after another, making Shen Qiu Nian's face even uglier.
If Fang Qingyue had not filed a complaint with the emperor, he would still be a young marquis now. How could he have become a commoner?
"Fang Qingyue, you are truly shameless. You are clearly engaged to me, yet you are still involved with my uncle. Everyone in the capital knows that you are a shameless slut!"
He accused sharply.
"Chen Qiu Nian!" Shen Yuhan was also furious for a moment. What he said was a bit too harsh to hear.
"Oh, you even knew I was engaged to you." Fang Qingyue raised the corners of her lips, her smile cold. "Where were you when I needed help? Where were you when I was raped by a flower thief? You've never helped me, yet you're using a broken engagement to tie me to your mansion. How can that be justified?"
"When my father was still alive, he proposed a marriage between our two families. Didn't he sell me to your Marquis' Mansion?"
"Since you think what happened today is unfair, then fine, we will report it to the police now. Let's see when the officials come over. Do they think it's wrong for me to save the child, or that it's wrong for you to almost beat the child to death!" She did not give in at all, and protected the child behind her tightly.
The child is still young, but he has to suffer so much injustice.
She simply couldn't imagine how sad the child's mother would be if she knew!
Shen Qiu Nian's face turned red after being accused by her, but he really didn't dare to report to the police.
Even if those officials would not punish him severely because of the Marquis's Mansion, if he brought the incident to the Emperor again, he might not even be able to keep his status as a commoner.
Thinking of this, Shen Qiu Nian said viciously: "I will let you go this time, Fang Qingyue, one day, you will kneel in front of me and beg me."
Fang Qingyue sneered: "Then I wish Mr. Shen to get what he wants soon."
Chen Qiu Nian pulled Song Xiaoya away without saying anything.
Only after the two disappeared from the street did the child hug Fang Qingyue's legs and burst into tears.
He cried so sadly that big tears rolled down his cheeks, and he looked extremely pitiful.
Fang Qingyue showed no disdain at all. She bent down, took out a handkerchief and wiped the child's face: "It's okay, don't be afraid."
The child's face was swollen and there were blood marks on his body.
Fang Qingyue took out the golden medicine from her bosom and gently applied it on the child's face.
"Take this medicine home and use it a few times. The swelling on your face will go away. Don't forget to use it."
"Be more careful when you walk in the future, and don't bump into others. I know it's not your fault, but other people may not be as easy to talk to as I am." Fang Qingyue stuffed the medicine jar into the child's hand and explained carefully.
After all, there are too many nobles in the capital, and this child can't afford to offend any of them.
She can still protect where they can see her, but how can she protect where she can't see?
The child finally cried enough and knelt in front of Fang Qingyue with tears in his eyes: "Thank you, Fairy Goddess."
The two continued to visit the lanterns. Shen Yuhan made a gesture to the secret guard in the dark, telling him to follow the child carefully and send him home.
He looked at Fang Qingyue's somewhat gloomy back, but felt that Fang Qingyue had grown a lot.
It is not easy for her to transform from the somewhat timid daughter of a criminal to what she is today.
Thinking of this, he took two steps forward and gently took Fang Qingyue's hand.
