Public opinion was one-sided, and Shen Chejin looked unhappy.

If Su Xuqing was allowed to take this opportunity to clear up the rumors, then Su Miner's plan would not only fail, but she might also get into trouble.

"Haha, Pavilion Master Liang."

Shen Chejin cupped his hands and said, "I've heard that the Pavilion Master is a hero in the martial arts world, and his reputation is deafening, but why are you talking nonsense today and helping a woman with a heart as vicious as a snake to confuse right and wrong?"

"Confusing right and wrong?"

Liang Heng looked at Shen Chejin and sneered.

"This Pavilion Master is very wealthy. He can make things happen in the martial arts world. He also knows many people in the government. Even your grandfather is known to me. Five years ago, when the barbarians were short of food and grass, it was this Pavilion Master who sent people to deliver food and grass over a thousand miles. Who do you think you two are? How dare this Pavilion Master confuse right and wrong?"

After these words were spoken, Shen Chejin's face became even uglier. If Liang Heng refused to change his words, then today's incident would be known to everyone.

You have to know that the influence of Tianxing Pavilion in the capital is no joke.

Shen Chejin gritted his teeth and forced a smile.

"Master Liang, my husband and I were reckless just now, but what happened between us and Aunt Nine is a family matter, so I hope Master Liang will not interfere."

"That makes sense."

Liang Heng nodded slightly, and Shen Chejin immediately breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the Pavilion Master did not cause any trouble, he could naturally visit the guests in the building one by one to eliminate the impact.

However, Shen Chejin relaxed his tone too early. Liang Heng changed the subject and raised his voice and said, "In that case, let's talk about things other than family matters."

Liang Heng looked up at the stunned Shen Chejin and said in a cold voice: "In the third year of Kaiyuan, you were having fun in the brothel under the name of Tianxing Pavilion. You fell in love with a singer named Yunxiu who only sold her art but not her body. Just because she refused to obey you, you strangled her to death."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was an uproar on the third floor.

Su Min'er was furious and shouted at the top of her voice: "You're talking nonsense. My brother Jing is a clean man and has never been to a brothel."

Liang Heng looked at her like a fool and continued, "In the fifth year of Kaiyuan, you forcibly abducted a woman who was already engaged. Not only did you abuse her, you also broke her husband's leg!"

"What a beast! What a beast!"

Someone in the crowd was whispering, and Shen Chejin heard it, his face burning with pain.

"Master Liang! I respect you as a hero, but if you continue to speak without restraint and slander me, don't blame me for being rude to the Zhennan Palace!"

Liang Heng laughed nonchalantly, standing with his hands behind his back, looking very heroic.

"Shen Chejin, I used to be too lazy to pay attention to you. After all, the old prince has made great military achievements while guarding the border, so it doesn't matter if his descendants are a bit bastards. But today, you are acting wild on my territory, and I will not tolerate you!"

Liang Heng swung his sleeves and said coldly, "Someone come!"

Outside the door of the third floor, several guards in black tights rushed in, looking majestic and imposing.

"Drag these two out and throw them into the street and beat them up. Tell the people about the shit they did. If the Zhen'an Palace has any dissatisfaction with this, just come and find me!"

Liang Heng stood with his hands behind his back, like a sharp sword unsheathed.

"Yes!"

The guard grabbed Su Min'er by the collar. Su Min'er screamed and shouted, showing her teeth and claws and trying to bite people, but was slapped by the guard and knocked unconscious.

Shen Chejin was dragged forward and said angrily: "Liang Heng! How dare you humiliate me like this!"

"Noisy."

Liang Heng shook his head unhappily, then his eyes fell on Su Xuqing. Her lotus green dress was fresh and refined, beautiful and lively.

Well, you are worthy of being my wife.

Su Xuqing was delighted when she saw the couple being dragged away. She never expected that Shen Chejin had done so many shameful things. It must be karma. No one can escape this fate!

"Thank you, Pavilion Master Liang, for rescuing me today."

Su Xuqing withdrew her gaze, smiled slightly and bowed.

Liang Heng laughed and said calmly, "Madam Jiu, you are too polite. If there is a problem on the territory of my Tianxing Pavilion, I will naturally come forward to solve it."

As Liang Heng spoke, his eyes fell on the rows of jades. "I wonder which piece of jade Madam Nine had the dispute with those two just now? Today I can make the decision and give you that piece of jade as an apology for disturbing Madam Nine."

Hearing this, Su Xuqing quickly waved her hand.

"Pavilion Master Liang has already helped a lot by coming out to help me today. There is no need for this. Besides, I bought this jade to give to my husband..."

Liang Heng raised his eyebrows and immediately smiled.

"I see. Liang was abrupt. Madam Nine made her choice at will."

After saying that, Liang Heng said goodbye and left. Su Xuqing picked up the piece of mutton-fat jade that she liked and held it in her hand, her little face beaming with joy.

Liang Heng quickly went downstairs, and then found the shopkeeper in charge of the Jinyu Building and instructed: "The Ninth Madam of the Zhennan Palace must be given a discount no matter what she buys in the future."

The shopkeeper nodded and asked cautiously, "What discount is appropriate?"

"One percent."

"One percent off?"

The shopkeeper's eyes widened, and Liang Heng had already left.

Willow head on the moon, after dusk.

Su Xuqing sat beside the bed, holding a porcelain bowl with exquisite patterns and feeding Shen Xuanheng medicine one spoonful at a time. Shen Xuanheng showed a dissatisfied expression while taking the medicine.

Su Xuqing blinked her eyes and asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Is it too bitter?"

Shen Xuanheng shook his head and frowned as he said, "Why don't you feed me with your mouth today?"

A blush quickly climbed onto Su Xuqing's face. She glared at Shen Xuanheng in reproach, then put the porcelain bowl in his hand and said, "You only know how to tease me. Eat it yourself. I won't feed you."

Shen Xuanheng laughed and drank the medicine in one gulp.

He threw the porcelain bowl aside, pulled the sulking Su Xuqing to lie in his arms, gently played with the hair by her ear, and then asked knowingly: "I heard that my good-for-nothing nephew and his wife were beaten up and sent back, and now the whole capital is saying that it is your aunt and Su Min'er who have been bullying you. The previous rumors have been dispelled without any warning."

Su Xuqing raised her chin proudly, "How is it? Isn't it amazing? It only took one day to finish it."

Shen Xuanheng's eyes were full of tenderness, and he said in a gentle tone: "Amazing, my wife is the best."

Su Xuqing happily hugged Shen Xuanheng and rubbed his chest, acting like a little girl. Then she muttered to Shen Xuanheng about what happened today.

Shen Xuanheng sometimes smiled, sometimes looked surprised, as if he was a loyal listener. Occasionally he would praise Su Xuqing, causing constant laughter in the room. Occasionally he would secretly take advantage of her, causing a burst of shyness and anger.

At the end, Shen Xuanheng suddenly asked, "Madam, what do you want to buy jade for?"

"ah!"

Su Xuqing exclaimed, then sat up hurriedly, and took out an object wrapped in red cloth from her arms with some embarrassment.

"I was so busy making medicine for you when I came back that I almost forgot about it."

The red cloth opened, revealing a piece of white jade inside. Shen Xuanheng looked up and saw two lines of small words written between the patterns carved on the white jade.

A gentleman with words, warm as jade.
