Don't be tempted, sir

The Shen family received the letter from Song Xiaoyuan and Hai Dongqing, and their hearts finally settled down. Shen Changjun rode to Qiannan as soon as possible, and Shen Rushan came to Liu's house with a knife in his hand, intending to kill everyone in the Liu family. Before they even reached the door, the government officials had already searched Liu's house.

When Prefect Chen saw General Shen coming, he greeted him and said, "General Shen, why are you here so late at night?"

"I am here to kill everyone in the Liu Mansion!"

Prefect Chen was surprised: "Master Shen, please stop talking like that! Everyone in the Liu family died tonight, and no one survived!"

Shen Rushan was shocked: "But..."

"Has General Shen found his beloved daughter?"

"Found it! It was the Liu family who kidnapped Yi Ning, so I came here to kill his entire family!"

Prefect Chen smacked his lips and said, "Dead, all dead! But don't worry, I will guarantee General Shen."

Shen Rushan didn't believe it: "Are they all dead?"

"Yes..." Before he could finish his words, a subordinate came to report: "Sir, there are two people at the city gate, they look like Sir Liu."

Prefect Chen and Shen Rushan looked at each other and walked quickly to the government office. Prefect Chen slammed the table and asked, "Who is here?"

Liu En, in horror, said: "I, I, Liu En, I surrender myself for kidnapping the daughter of the Shen family."

Shen Rushan was about to step forward and kick him to death, but Prefect Chen stopped him: "General Shen, calm down! Let's take a closer look."

He slapped the table and asked again: "Who is the other one?"

Liu En was filled with fear and told everything in detail, but he didn't know what happened in Qiannan. The only one who knew about it, Liu Xueyin, was kneeling in the hall with blood on his face and his throat opening and closing silently: "Ah...ah..."

Shen Rushan could not sit still and kicked Liu En, causing him to fall to the ground and spit blood: "You are so ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth. You dare to dream of becoming my relative, you deserve to die!" He raised his hand and wanted to chop Liu En to death.

Song Jueming came over and said, "Calm down, calm down, Old Man Shen!"

He walked forward, pulled down Shen Rushan's raised hand and said to him, "The law will judge him. General Shen, please don't dirty your hands by killing the enemy!"

"Humph, you dare to come and harass me just because you saw the roster and kidnap my beloved daughter. You deserve to die! God will punish you and your entire family with extermination. You deserve it!"

Liu En fell to the ground and complained: "What! My Liu family...everyone...ah!! We have planned everything, but we didn't expect it to be him! How could he be such a heartless person! Madam, I will come to you right away."

Liu En wanted to die by hitting Shen Rushan with his knife, but was saved: "If you want to die, it's not that easy!" Shen Rushan angrily walked out of the government office, followed by Song Jueming. Prefect Chen respectfully saw them off and detained Liu En and Liu Xueyin to await their fate.

"Mr. Shen, Xiao Yuan said Yining is fine and wants to take her out to relax, so you don't have to pick her up."

How could Shen Rushan agree? "Don't think about pretending to be a gentleman and taking advantage of this opportunity to sneak in!"

"How dare I? Although parents are anxious about their children growing up, they will never interfere in matters of fate. It's just that after what happened to Yi Ning, she might want to go out and take a walk, which is not a bad thing."

Shen Rushan strode forward: "Changjun has gone to pick him up. If Yi Ning really wants to relax, I will definitely not interfere."

Song Jueming was delighted when he heard this, and returned home knowing the meaning of this. Mrs. Song had been very worried at home these days, and she had never been so worried when she had no news from her son.

The next day, before Shen Rushan opened his mouth during the court session, Song Jueming took the initiative to list Liu En's crimes and finally sentenced him to death!

After leaving the court, Shen Rushan bowed and thanked him: "Thank you, Lord Jueming. Song Xiaoyuan saved my daughter. I will host a banquet for him when he returns to the capital some other day."

"Old Shen, if you open your mouth, it means you are angry. Although Liu En is not as high-ranking as you, he has many gang members and factions. I am afraid they will all impeach you. It is hard to guarantee that you can save his life with your eloquence. You and I don't need to thank you. I am afraid that I will have to come to you to ask for help in the future. I just hope that you can lift your feet when the time comes!"

"Brother Song, although your son has told me about his feelings for Yi Ning, I only have this one little daughter in my family. The last time my second son got into trouble, Yi Ning was already very sad, and she almost followed him. It's not that I don't like your son, but... we have served in the same court for many years. Lord Song is a civil servant, but he has to sacrifice his life for everything he does. My wife and I have seen Yi Ning rely on, admire, and love your son. This kind of look has never been seen in our two deceased sons. I am afraid... I am afraid that Lord Song... my Yi Ning might really follow him! That's why I arranged many people of ordinary status to meet him, but they can grow old together with him."

Song Jueming knew that Shen Rushan loved his son dearly, but he also had his own selfish motives. Seeing his son becoming less and less ambitious, his calm eyes were filled with indifference and alienation. Whether it was slandering his reputation or asking for his life, it would not cause any ripples. He was just afraid that one day he would really die! He only hoped that someone could help him and give him some desire or anger.

"Brother Shen, to be honest, Xiao Yuan's appearance makes me sad. He looks gentle and kind. But Brother Shen doesn't know that he is becoming less and less ambitious. Nothing can stir up his emotions. Only Brother Shen's beloved daughter, Yining! Xiao Yuan will think about her, worry about her, and take her to heart. This time Yining got into trouble. To be selfish, Xiao Yuan slaughtered the entire Liu family. I am glad! He was angry! Brother Shen, although I don't know how the children's affairs will develop in the future, I, Song Jueming, beg you to save my son and let Yining help him. I am really afraid that I will have to send off my black-haired children when I am old!"

Shen Rushan hesitated and did not speak, because that child was the flesh and blood of his hand: "Alas, the beloved son of his parents... let's wait and see what happens!"

Shen Yining was brought back to Huanyun Pavilion, where the hot springs helped heal the bruises on his body. The azalea flowers fell, and all that was left was the snow-capped cliffs.

Shen Yining was afraid to go into the water, so Song Xiaoyuan undressed and pulled her in. His white pajamas were soaked through, and she could see that the scars on his body had faded a lot, and there were some small new wounds. She frowned and asked him, "Song Xiaoyuan?"

Tan Mou sat aside with his eyes closed like he did that night: "Yeah."

“Is it still dangerous this time?”

"what?"

"The months you disappeared..."

"It's okay, nothing's wrong." Tan's eyes slowly opened: "Yining, do you want to understand me?"

Shen Yining looked at him and nodded in affirmation: "Yes."

Song Xiaoyuan closed his eyes and was silent for a long time before speaking: "The entire Liu family was slaughtered." Shen Yining was surprised.

Song Xiaoyuan opened his eyes: "I ordered someone to kill him."

He continued in a cold voice: "Master Pei is my teacher. Pei Songming was unwilling to be mediocre. I lured him to cooperate with Yan Li and his son, and then arrested the entire Pei Mansion." He looked at her with cold eyes and frowned, and continued: "Do you remember what I said in the rice field that day, whether it was true or false?"

Song Xiaoyuan approached and said, "I killed people here for three days and three nights. Unlike your father and brother who risked their lives to defend the city, I killed people just to see how long it would take for me to be exhausted, or who could take my life."

Shen Yining was pushed against the edge of the pool. At this moment, there was a cold aura around him, and he no longer felt like the gentle Song Xiaoyuan.

"Yining, you know that cranes are birds of prey and can fight eagles."

Song Xiaoyuan didn't want to see her disgusted look on his face, so he got up from the pool and walked out: "Your father doesn't agree with us being together because he knows that I have no heart and no love, and he's afraid that it will hurt you. I'm alone, and you're an accident! I'm willing to give you a choice."

The Wentang Forest was filled with smoke. Shen Yining watched him leave, sitting alone in the pool with a confused mind. Why did he do this? She wanted to understand him, but she didn't understand what his personality was.

The next day, Changjun rushed to Huanyun Pavilion. Shen Yining was at a loss, afraid of being seen in this state. Song Xiaoyuan sent a fur coat that could cover the scars. It was as soft as jade and just like before.

He was walking alone behind him on the path. Shen Yining stopped and waited for him to come forward, holding his gradually cooling hand: "I'll hold your hand, it'll keep you warm."
