"What is this? It's so ugly." Mu Yan looked at the black token in Shen Mian's hand.

"I don't know. I took it from that little thief." Shen Mian didn't understand what it was and put it aside.

"What are you going to do with these things? Get them out as soon as possible!" Mu Yan pointed at the gold, silver, jewelry and spiritual stones on the ground, his eyes full of disgust.

"Of course, we will make the best use of everything." Shen Mian raised the corner of his mouth.

"It looks like someone won't be able to sleep tonight."

……

On the second day, the Shen family gathered together in the hall to discuss matters, big and small, with everyone looking solemn.

Shen Li and his group were kneeling on the ground, trembling.

The head of the Shen family’s face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he slammed the table heavily.

"It's just a thief. You sent so many people but couldn't catch him. What are you doing? Where do you want to put the reputation of my Shen family?"

"Master, please forgive me!" Shen Li was speechless, "That little thief must not be an ordinary person. In my opinion, he is at least a spiritual master!"

The head of the Shen family pinched his brows and waved his hand to let him leave. Shen Li felt as if he had been pardoned and hurriedly left.

"Tell me how much stuff you lost."

Everyone started talking about it, and in the end they found out that everything with a bit of value in everyone's room was searched clean by the little thief. What's worse, he even took the gems off the box. He was really cruel and insane!

Although the amount of things lost was not small, the Shen family was a wealthy family after all, and the truly valuable things were all in the warehouse. These were not enough to cause serious damage to the Shen family. It's just that the lost money was a small matter, but to steal things and walk away in a swagger under the numerous patrol guards was simply rubbing the Shen family's face on the ground. The head of the Shen family suppressed a anger in his heart, feeling very aggrieved.

If the other three families knew that the Shen family had been robbed, I don’t know how they would laugh at them.

"Such a big Shen family, with so many people, but no one noticed the arrival of that little thief." The head of the Shen family looked quite tired. "How can I explain this to my father?"

"Second brother, this is not our fault. After all, that person is already a spiritual master, and he is a wind element. It is understandable that we did not notice it." The third master Shen Qing said.

"Yes, Master, that little thief is really too cunning."

"If it happens again, I will tear his head off!" Second Young Master Shen Chuan gritted his teeth. His favorite Chi Xiao Sword was plundered inside and out by that little thief, and all the jewels and crystal cores were looted, leaving nothing behind.

"By the way, where is Yue'er?" The head of the Shen family looked around and did not see Shen Xianyue, so he asked.

Madam Shen stood up and said with difficulty: "Yuer was frightened and feels uncomfortable. She is resting in her room now."

"Is it serious? I'll go see her later."

The head of the Shen family gave some instructions to strengthen patrols and search for the whereabouts of the thief, and then ended the meeting.

"Second uncle really loves fourth sister." After going out, Third Miss Shen Yunjing said to Third Madam.

"You think she is young, so she won't be favored? But Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law dote on her so much that she has become so ignorant of etiquette and arrogant. If Second Brother was not the head of the family now, how could the Second Prince value her?" The Third Madam sneered.

"She thinks it's all due to her own charm, which is really laughable. If she hadn't had her parents' protection and was alone, she would have died of her own stupidity a long time ago."

After some complaints, the Third Madam held Shen Yunjing's shoulders and said gently: "Jing'er, just work hard to cultivate and improve your character. In this Shen Mansion, you are the only one who is virtuous and generous, and looks like a real girl from an aristocratic family. When the time comes, with that idiot as a foil, how can others not see who is the right match?"

"Mom, I understand." Shen Yunjing answered obediently.

The third wife looked at the dignified and generous Shen Yunjing and smiled with satisfaction: "As expected of my daughter, she is the best."

……

Before approaching Shen Xianning's yard, I could hear the sound of things being thrown and then shouting, "Get out! Get out of here! You are a bunch of trash! Chop them all up and feed them to the dogs!"

The servants lay on the ground and trembled like quails. Even though their cheeks were scratched by the fragments, they did not dare to move.

Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen quickened their pace and went into the room.

As soon as she entered the room, Mrs. Shen ran over distressedly: "Oh, my son, please don't hurt yourself."

"Mother——" Shen Xianyue hugged Madam Shen's arm and cried loudly, "Mother! What should I do! Woo woo, Brother Ling will definitely not like me like this!"

The head of the Shen family rushed over and was shocked by the scene. He saw that most of Shen Xianyue's hair had been cut off. In one place, her scalp could be seen faintly, while in other places her hair was still long. The short hair even had a faint smell of burning, which was very weird.

"Yuer!" The head of the Shen family was shaking with anger. His daughter, whom he regarded as a treasure, was treated like this by that little thief!

"Dad, Dad..." Shen Xianyue cried and ran towards the head of the Shen family, "Dad, you must avenge me. I will cut that little thief into pieces and throw his body out to feed the dogs. Only then will I relieve the hatred in my heart!"

"Okay, okay, Yue'er, don't worry, Dad will definitely avenge you." The head of the Shen family patted Shen Xianyue on the back.

"Dad, I'm in this state...what should I do..."

"Don't worry, Yue'er. Dad will send someone to find hair growth potions and elixirs. There will be results soon. You can stay in the house under the pretext of being sick for the time being. When you are better, you can go see the Second Prince. Okay?"

Shen Xianyue agreed with tears in her eyes.

……

At night, when Chen Xing came, he specifically asked whether Shen Mian had encountered a thief.

"That's impossible, Uncle Chen. Thieves will have to avoid my yard, okay?" Shen Mian joked.

After repeated confirmation, Chen Xing finally felt relieved and secretly told Shen Mian the news that Shen Xianyue's hair had been shaved.

"You deserve it!" Shen Mian said.

"You deserve it." Chen Xing nodded.
