Xue Yu came to his father's study in a rage and said, "Dad, send me a few people. I want to teach that bitch a lesson."

However, after waiting for a long time without any response from Marquis Zhennan, Xue Yu tentatively called him "Dad" again.

The face of Zhennan Marquis was so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip from it. "Who are you going to teach a lesson to? Do you know who you have offended this time and how much trouble you have caused?"

Xue Yuman didn't care, "Dad! The whole capital is talking about it. Your son was beaten by a woman.

Isn't it only natural for me to retaliate? Besides, she's just a woman, there's nothing wrong with that. Dad, you're making a fuss."

His father Xue Shao was also a well-known playboy when he was young, but how come he has become so cautious now?

It turns out that father is getting old. It’s time for these little playboys to support the world.

Xue Yu suddenly felt that he had a long way to go.

Xue Shao threw a letter at Xue Yu's face. "Look for yourself. Of course, there is nothing you can't mess with a woman, but you should open your dog eyes and see clearly whose woman she is."

Xue Shao wanted to break his son's legs. He only had Xue Yu as his son, and he usually indulged him. He always turned a blind eye to Xue Yu's bullying of men and women.

However, he never expected that this time his son would actually offend the fiancée of the Minister of Justice Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan has always been a ruthless and cruel person, serving as a lackey of the royal family, making people in the government and the country tremble with fear.

The letter delivered personally by the servant of the Shen family stated that Minister Shen asked Xue Yu to personally go to his fiancée to apologize.

Although the Minister of Justice holds a high position of power, the title of Marquis of Zhennan was also conferred by His Majesty himself. Under normal circumstances, Xue Shao would never let his legitimate son go to apologize to a woman.

But Shen Yuan happened to have evidence of him selling official positions and titles, so he had to sacrifice the dignity of his legitimate son.

Xue Yu read the entire letter at a glance, then tore it into pieces out of control.

"Let me apologize to a woman, Shen Yuan is dreaming."

In today's dynasty, men are respected and women are humble.

Xue Yu prided himself on being the most dissolute playboy in the capital. Asking a man of this stature to apologize to a woman would be a complete loss of face and a heavy loss of dignity.

"How dare you! I can no longer tolerate the trouble you have caused. Go to the Shen residence tomorrow and apologize."

The father and son eventually parted ways unhappily.

Shen Nian frowned and drank the whole bowl of nourishing soup in one breath as if he was ready to die.

This soup is really greasy. Shen Nian was afraid that if she drank it, she would become as greasy as the soup.

"Miss, Miss." Qinglian walked into the inner room at a very fast pace.

"Take a breath and speak slowly." Shen Nian took a sip of tea to suppress the greasy taste in his mouth.

"Miss, people from the Xue and Ye families are here to apologize. The head of the family asked me to bring you over." Qinglian couldn't suppress the smile on her face.

Come to apologize? Shen Yuan is really decisive in his work.

Xue's housekeeper handed the gift list to Shen's housekeeper with both hands. "Butler Shen, this small gift is not a sign of respect." Xue's housekeeper smiled apologetically.

Butler Ye was not to be outdone. He waved his hand and asked the servants to bring up an object covered with red cloth.

"I heard that Miss Shen is good at playing the zither. This is the top-grade zither that the late emperor bestowed upon our Qingyuan Earl's Mansion. Today I will give this zither to Miss Shen. This small gift is not a sign of respect."

Unexpectedly, the Ye family was so generous that Steward Xue had to admit defeat.

"Please ask the two young masters and their butlers to wait in the side hall." Butler Shen said in a neutral tone. He told the maids to serve tea and then left.

As soon as Butler Shen left, Xue Yu slapped the table and said, "What do the Shen family mean? They asked us to wait in the side hall. They are clearly looking down on us."

Ye Yan also put away his fan and said, "If my father hadn't forced me, I would never have come to apologize to a woman."

The two housekeepers Xue and Ye's faces changed, and they hurriedly tried to persuade the two young masters to remain calm and restrained.

The curtain of the side hall was opened by the maid, and the sunlight poured into the side hall. Shen Yuan, who was dressed in black clothes and had black hair tied up high, came in hand in hand with Shen Nian, who was wearing a green silk dress and had black hair tied up in a bun.

The man is tall and handsome, and the woman is slim and pretty. They are a perfect match, like a match made in heaven.

The moment Shen Yuan and the other two entered the room, Xue Ye and the other two immediately fell silent.

Shen Yuan glanced at them with a cold gaze, and helped Shen Nian sit on the seat of honor.

When they met Shen Yuan's gaze, Xue Ye and the others could not help but tremble in their hearts. Without waiting for the two housekeepers to remind them, they both consciously clasped their hands and saluted to the seat above.

Shen Yuan did not respond but turned to look at Shen Nian. Shen Nian nodded at them as a token of acceptance of their gift.

Upon seeing this, the two housekeepers Xue Ye immediately presented another gift list to Shen Nian.

Shen Nian's eyes widened as he scanned the gift list. There were so many jades, gold and silver. The Xue and Ye families were quite generous.

Under the urging of the housekeeper, Xue Yu and Ye Yan reluctantly bowed to Shen Nian and apologized.

"We were blind and offended Miss Shen. Please forgive us this time."

The two of them avoided eye contact, and their tone could not conceal their reluctance and unwillingness to accept.

Shen Yuan's eyes were as cold as ice, and his face suddenly became gloomy. He was about to stand up but Shen Nian held his hand.

She looked at him with a light in her deer eyes and just nodded. Shen Yuan's face was filled with spring and the ice and snow melted. Shen Yuan believed that the girl he loved would be able to seek justice for herself.

"I don't accept the apology from Master Xue and Master Ye." Shen Nian spoke at a steady pace, with even a hint of a smile on his face.

"Shen Nian, don't go too far." Veins popped up on Ye Yan's face. This woman was too ungrateful.

"I've already given you enough face by apologizing to you, so don't be shameless." Xue Yu had completely forgotten his father's instructions when he came here, and completely exposed his unwillingness.

The two housekeepers Xue and Ye were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they didn't know how to explain to their respective masters when they returned home.

Shen Nian was not angry, he just pointed to the legal commentary in his hand and said, "According to the laws of our dynasty, those who molest women will be punished with twenty strokes of the cane, those who rape women will be punished with one hundred strokes of the cane, and those who rape women to death will be punished with their lives.

The two young masters molested women many times. A year ago, Young Master Xue molested two women and caused their death, and then dumped their bodies in the wilderness.

Three months ago, Master Ye openly seized a farmer's wife and caused her death. After that, her husband went to the government office in Beijing to file a complaint many times.

They were all stopped by people sent by the Ye family, and later the farmer who was determined to seek justice for his deceased wife was beaten to death.

The two of you have relied on your family background and status to do evil and commit so many crimes, it is simply outrageous.

You two must not only apologize to me, but also atone for those you have harmed."

When Shen Nian learned in detail from the system all the crimes committed by the two of them, she was so angry that she trembled all over and became more determined to send these two scumbags to jail.

At this moment, Xue Yu and Ye Yan were really a little scared. But when they thought of their father's position in the court, they calmed down.

Family is their greatest support.

However, they did not feel at ease for long as they saw a large number of soldiers pouring in.

General Zhang, who was in the lead, clasped his fists and saluted to Shen Yuan. "I am here on the orders of your majesty to arrest the criminals, the son of the Marquis of Zhennan and the Earl of Qingyuan. Please forgive me if I have offended you."

Shen Yuan also returned the greeting and said, "Please do as you please, General."

Following General Zhang's order, Xue Ye and the other man, who had collapsed on the ground in fear, were dragged out by the officers and soldiers.

Xue Yu and Ye Yan's biggest support is the family behind them, so Shen Yuan will make the family behind them fall and avenge those who died unjustly.

After everything was settled, Shen Yuan and Shen Nian smiled at each other. Perhaps this was the legendary couple working together to achieve great success.
