According to the memorial submitted by the Minister of Punishments Shen Yuan, Xue Shao, Marquis of Zhennan, sold official positions and titles and condoned his son's rape and looting, crimes that should not be punished.

Emperor Kang of the prosperous Sui Dynasty ordered that Xue Shao and Xue Yu, father and son, be beheaded in the south of the city three days later. He also stripped the Xue family of their titles and demoted all the women in their family to slavery as a warning to others.

Ye Kuan, the Earl of Qingyuan, embezzled the money for disaster relief, which made the people in the disaster area live in misery. Ye Kuan's son Ye Yan raped and killed a farmer's wife, and then beat and killed the farmer. This crime is intolerable.

Ye Kuan and Ye Yan, father and son, were executed on the same day as Xue's father and son. All the women in the Ye family were made prostitutes and the men were sent into exile.

After the verdict was made, the people of the capital exclaimed that the emperor was wise. The people rushed to tell each other, and the capital was bustling with joy as if it were New Year's Day.

"It's really satisfying!" Shopkeeper Zheng, who had been bullied by the Xue family for a long time, patted the corner of the table, unable to suppress the smile on his face.

"This is all thanks to Minister Shen and his fiancée!" Shopkeeper Mei, who has followed Shopkeeper Zheng for a long time, was full of admiration and admired Shen Yuan and his wife from the bottom of his heart.

"I, Zheng Qiquan, don't have any special abilities, but fortunately the jade hairpins in my Jade Hairpin Tower are famous all over the world.

I admire Miss Shen's character, and I want to use my long-treasured Jade Phoenix Hairpin to make Miss Shen look good. This small gift is a token of my respect.

Shen Nian was a little surprised after reading the post Zheng Qiquan handed over. She didn't expect that someone would admire her so much for this matter.

"My wife is now known as a heroine, and she has overshadowed her husband!"

Although Shen Yuan teased her with a smile, his eyes were as gentle as water and filled with approval for Shen Nian.

When his girl encountered bullying from others, she did not retreat in fear but chose to fight back directly.

She did not accept Xue Ye's insincere apology, but used her determination to seek justice for those who were killed.

He, Shen Yuan, will be Shen Nian's strongest and most powerful shield, so that she can continue to be bold and brave enough to do what she wants without having to fear anyone.

"Then will your husband be worried about the decline of his authority?" Shen Nian's hand hooked Shen Yuan's chin dishonestly, the corners of her eyes curved into crescents and a sly smile flashed in her eyes.

As Shen Nian approached, the sweet fragrance from her body continued to penetrate Shen Yuan's nose and lingered in his heart.

Shen Yuan's breathing became heavier, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, and spring water surged in his peach blossom eyes.

"Don't worry, I want my wife to be the leader of my husband." He leaned over and looked directly into Shen Nian's eyes so that she could see his sincerity and desire for her.

Warm lips covered Shen Nian's lips, and his big hands held her slender waist, deepening the kiss.

Shen Nian couldn't help but gasp, which made people blush.

Shen Yuan stopped at the last step. Looking at Shen Nian who had shown him all her beauty, he forcibly restrained the desire in his heart.

Shen Yuan's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and he raised his hand to help Shen Nian put on her coat. Shen Nian was less than three months pregnant, and he was afraid that she and the baby would be hurt.

Shen Nian looked at him like this and was a little worried that he might get sick if he forced himself to endure it.

"Nian Nian, it's already late, you go to sleep first and I'll go calm down." Shen Yuan wanted to take a cold shower first and then hug her to rest.

Shen Nian felt sorry for him for going through so much trouble at such a late hour. Without thinking too much, she grabbed him. With a red face, she stammered, "Don't go. I... will help you."

Shen Yuan was slightly stunned when he heard this, then he chuckled in a hoarse voice, "Then thank you for your hard work, Nian Nian.

Shen Yuan blew out the candle and reached out to pull down the bed curtain.

The house suddenly became pitch black.

I don’t know how much time has passed…

Shen Nian's hands were sore, but the man next to her showed no sign of stopping.

His hot breath sprayed on her neck, and his panting of pleasure was in her ears.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

Three days passed by very quickly. On a sunny day, the father and son of the Xue and Ye families were to be executed in the south of the city.

The chief criminal officer was Shen Yuan, the current first-rank official of the Ministry of Justice. Shen Yuan was in charge of the execution, and the person he beheaded was a bully who was causing trouble in the capital.

The people were all very excited and rushed to the south of the city to watch the execution.

On the execution platform, Shen Yuan, dressed in court robes, holding the imperial edict in his hands, once again loudly announced the crimes of these people.

At three quarters past noon, Xue Ye and his two sons, who were shackled, were taken to the execution platform by officers and soldiers.

The four men were dressed in tattered clothes, with unkempt hair and dirty faces, looking even more destitute than the most destitute beggars in the capital.

There was no trace of their previous arrogant look in their fine clothes. They were forced to kneel in front of the people whom they had once bullied and despised.

The people threw the vegetable leaves in their hands at them and spit in their faces.

All they could see was the cold blade, their faces were pale and their eyes shrank sharply with fear.

Following Shen Yuan's order, the executioners raised their knives and brought down their swords. The sinful lives of Xue Ye and his four sons came to an end.

When Shen Yuan was about to leave after completing the last step of the formalities, he saw an old man leading the people kneeling down to thank Shen Yuan. They all shouted, "Great Lord, the Heavenly Lord."

The people knew that the reason these villains were brought to justice was thanks to Shen Yuan and his wife. In their hearts, Shen Yuan was like the ruler of the world.

Shen Yuan hurried down from the execution platform and helped the old man up, then bowed solemnly to the people who came to watch the execution.

"Your Majesty appointed all officials to serve the people. Shen Yuan just did what he should do. I don't deserve your thanks."

Then he turned around, got on his carriage and left, leaving the people in admiration.
