Jiang Li turned her head and looked at Shen Tingsi beside her.

"Shen Si."

Shen Si'er? Jiang Li's mouth twitched. This name was too insincere.

"It turned out to be Master Shen. This is the third time Master Shen has saved me from danger. I have no way to repay you, so I can only..."

Jiang Li suddenly paused while talking, which made Feng Jue, who was eavesdropping from behind, extremely anxious.

He pricked up his ears to listen to the second half of the sentence, but Jiang Li stopped talking after she finished.

Feng Jue carried Zhou Qingyun effortlessly, his thoughts divided into two strands, one on Jiang Li and Shen Tingsi in front, and the other on Qingzhu beside him.

Not only Feng Jue, even Shen Tingsi was curious about the second half of the sentence.

He put one hand behind his back and looked down at Jiang Li beside him: "Only what?"

Jiang Li's red lips curled slightly, her almond eyes rippled: "I can only be the host and invite Master Shen to taste the fine wine and delicacies of Jiangnan and appreciate the beautiful scenery of West Lake in Jiangnan. I wonder if Master Shen can give me this opportunity to repay my gratitude?"

Shen Tingsi was stunned at first, then he laughed and said, "Okay."

Perhaps it was because the two of them had similar magnetic fields that they did not feel awkward at all even though it was their first meeting. Instead, they chatted and laughed with each other.

Jiang Li and Shen Tingsi walked side by side. As their arms swung back and forth, the wide sleeves of their robes were squeezed and deformed due to friction.

Feng Jue and Qing Zhu stood behind the two people, looking at the two people walking in front with different thoughts.

Feng Jue looked at the two with a look of regret. The master finally met a woman with whom he could get close, but unfortunately she was already taken. It was really unfortunate! Qingzhu also had a complicated expression. Look at how well they matched from behind. If the young lady hadn't married, what kind of good husband would she not be able to find?

In Qingzhu's heart, their young lady is the best girl in the world and deserves the best husband in the world. She is loved by her husband, liked by her mother-in-law, and respected by her children. These are all what the young lady deserves in her life.

But the reality was exactly the opposite of what Qingzhu had thought. After the young lady married into the Zhou family, not only was her husband indifferent, but even her mother-in-law and servants treated her harshly, and her step-sons and step-daughters even regarded her as an enemy.

Although Zhou Qingyuan held an official title, Qingzhu felt that he was not worthy of their young lady at all.

The more Qingzhu thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. She felt sorry for Jiang Li and felt very sick. She even seemed absent-minded when Feng Jue spoke to her.

Feng Jue could tell that Qingzhu was in a bad mood at the moment, but he was afraid that if he asked rashly, Qingzhu would feel offended, so his brain raced, trying his best to think of ways to make Qingzhu happy.

When he was distracted, he accidentally stepped on a small stone and his body was shaken violently. Zhou Qingyun on his back was immediately awakened by the pain.

“Ugh—bang!”

Zhou Qingyun had just made a sound when he was knocked unconscious by Feng Jue's punch.

“Puff~”

Qingzhu noticed his actions and burst out laughing. Feng Jue scratched his head embarrassedly and grinned too.

The four of them returned to the general's mansion one after another. When the gatekeeper saw Zhou Qingyun carried on Feng Jue's shoulders, he was startled and ran back to the mansion without saying a word.

"The Second Young Master is back! Madam, the Second Young Master is back!"

The servant who ran back to the mansion yelled at the top of his voice and walked towards Zhou's yard as if he had greased his feet. (In order to distinguish Madam Zhou from the young Madam Jiang Li, I will call her Zhou from now on)

After arriving at the gate of the general's mansion, Jiang Li and Shen Tingsi suppressed the faint smile on their faces and stepped onto the steps in front of the general's mansion together.

"Hey, why did the Second Young Master come back so soon?"

As soon as the four of them returned home, they met the housekeeper who was about to go out. After seeing Zhou Qingyun, who was unconscious on Feng Jue's back, the housekeeper exclaimed and hurried forward.

"Young man, leave the Second Young Master to me. I will call the palace doctor to treat his injuries."

The butler, who didn't know the truth, thought that Zhou Qingyun had returned from the training ground after being tortured, and hurriedly asked the servant to take Zhou Qingyun from Feng Jue.

"Butler, prepare the horses and send the Second Young Master to the training ground."

"ah?"

The housekeeper's eyes widened, thinking he had misheard and quickly picked his ears.

"Do I need to say it a second time?"

Jiang Li glanced over and the housekeeper felt a chill on his back for no reason. He was frightened by the cold aura from her.

As the young master of major shops in Jiangnan, Jiang Li is in charge of hundreds of shops and has the aura of a superior.

It's just that her original body was a love-brained person. After marrying into the general's mansion, she devoted herself to pleasing Zhou Qingyuan and Zhou. Over time, the servants of the general's mansion forgot that she was first the decisive and ruthless young master of Jiangnan, and then the young lady who tried to please her husband and mother-in-law.

This was the first time that Jiang Li spoke to servants in a commanding tone since she married into the general's mansion. The housekeeper was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses.

"No, no need! I'll arrange the carriage right away!"

After the butler agreed, he quickly waved to the servant who was cleaning nearby and told him to prepare the horse. He then went to Furong Garden to report the matter to Zhou.

"Son, my son!"

Not long after the housekeeper left, Zhou's crying voice came from the front.

Jiang Li and Shen Tingsi paused where they were, and soon Zhou appeared in their sight in a hurry, followed by servants and the palace doctor.

"Clear and transport, clear and transport!"

After seeing Zhou Qingyun with a bruised face and nose behind Feng Jue, Zhou's heart was throbbing with pain.

"Hurry up and put it down!"

Zhou pointed at Feng Jue and shouted at him.

"oh."

Feng Jue responded calmly, and cooperated very well to put Zhou Qingyun down from behind.

Bang--

With a loud bang, Zhou Qingyun's body fell to the ground and landed in front of Zhou.

"God damn it, you, you, you are so outrageous!"

Zhou yelled at the top of her lungs, stuttering in anger, and it took her a long time to utter a complete sentence.

Feng Jue shrugged: "Didn't you ask me to put him down, Madam?"

"Stop making excuses here! If anything happens to Qingyun, I want you to pay for his life!"

Zhou roared at Feng Jue angrily, and when his peripheral vision touched Shen Tingsi, he turned his head and glared at him.

"And you! Don't think you can escape just because you know Qingyuan. Like master, like dog. If anything happens to my son, none of you will have a good life!"

In a rage, Zhou had long forgotten Zhou Qingyuan's instructions and treated Shen Tingsi rudely, not fearing at all that offending him would bring disaster to the general's mansion.

Shen Tingsi's eyes gradually turned cold, and the captivating aura from his body made it hard for everyone to breathe. However, Zhou's whole heart was now on Zhou Qingyun, and she had no time to care about all these things.

"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and carry the Second Young Master back to the house and take good care of him!"

Zhou shouted angrily, and the servants trembled. Under the pressure of Shen Tingsi, they took trembling steps and were about to lift up Zhou Qingyun who was lying unconscious on the ground.

“Wait!”
