The beauty of the Hou family and the king's plan

The children quickly hid behind Shen Baozhao and confronted the steward. It was like the Chu-Han War, with a foolish man in between.

Before Shen Baozhao could understand the situation, he hurriedly stopped the other party: "What do you want to do?"

The manager immediately asked someone to help his young master up first.

Seeing that Shen Baozhao was well-dressed, he also lowered his voice: "These little bastards bullied my young master for being stupid and beat him up many times."

"We caught them in the act this time. We must bring them back to my master for punishment. Miss, please don't interfere."

Shen Baozhao saw that although the other party was polite, his tone was unquestionable when it came to taking these children away.

Li Xiaoshan poked his head out from behind Shen Baozhao: "That's not the case. It was obviously this idiot who beat Goudan first. He beat Goudan so hard that he couldn't get out of bed."

"We were just avenging Goudan. We fought back when we saw he was alone."

Shen Baozhao turned around and saw that the children were all frightened but still trying to remain calm.

When the steward saw the group of children talking about the beating, he also said to Bao Zhao: "This happened a few days ago. We have already sent someone to pay silver to buy medicine for the beaten children."

"You're talking nonsense! Goudan's family has never received any money, and he hasn't seen a doctor yet." A child said angrily.

The manager was certain that these beggar-like children were lying, and he wanted to take them away without any explanation.

"Wait." Shen Baozhao flicked his finger and used his ring to hit a servant who was about to pull Li Xiaoshan's wrist.

Shen Baozhao said to the steward, "Which family is your Excellency from?"

The steward knew that he had run into a tough guy, so he boldly announced his name: "Wu'an Bofu, I advise the young lady not to meddle in other people's business."

When Shen Baozhao heard what the steward said, he thought: "But is it the Third Young Master Qiao of Wu'anbo?"

Rumor has it that the Third Young Master Qiao of Wu'anbo Mansion is stupid, violent, rude, fat as a pig, and even beat a maid to death. Everyone in the capital knows this.

Judging from his face, he does look stupid, but he is not fat and rather handsome. It can be seen that the rumors are not credible.

Seeing him carefully hiding behind the steward, secretly looking at Bao Zhao, grinning and giving a bright smile, he shouted to Bao Zhao: "Madam~"

The servant at the side quickly covered his mouth. Young Master Qiao was suddenly stopped and began to struggle violently.

He was very strong and started beating the servant like crazy. It took five or six servants rushing over to stop him.

Even so, the beaten boy had fallen to the ground and couldn't get up.

"That's it, that's how he beat Goudan!" A child next to Li Xiaoshan saw this and quickly said to Shen Baozhao.

Young Master Qiao was still going crazy over there, but he was suppressed by the crowd. Shen Baozhao saw that he was so crazy that the meridians on his neck were bulging and purple-black.

Then I felt something was wrong.

But the steward was afraid that Young Master Qiao San would continue to go crazy in the street, so he didn't bother to trouble these children and ordered the other servants to send the young master home quickly.

"Manager, wait a minute." Shen Baozhao spoke out to stop them.

The steward thought Shen Baozhao was still nagging about paying for Goudan's medicine, so he said impatiently, "I told you that our family has already paid compensation to the family of the beaten child."

"We don't want to cause any more trouble to these bastards. Is there anything else you want, young lady?"

Shen Baozhao was not angry either. He just walked up to the steward and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "My dear young master, I'm afraid you are sick."

"It's poisoning."

After hearing what Shen Baozhao said, the steward carefully looked at the girl in front of him. She didn't look like a doctor. "Miss, don't lie to me."

Seeing that the steward didn't believe her, Shen Baozhao handed the gold and jade ring that had just fallen to the steward and said, "I am the fourth daughter of the Ning'an Marquis's Mansion. This is one of the dowries of my mother, the Princess of Nanhua County."

"Take it and give it to your master. If you believe me, send someone to bring the ring and the invitation to your house tomorrow, and I will come to your house to talk."

Recently, the Nanhua County Lady's affairs have caused a lot of uproar in the city, and Wu'an Earl's Mansion naturally knows about it. What's more, the two families almost became relatives.

Seeing that Shen Baozhao did not seem to be lying, the steward nodded cautiously and asked someone to take the Third Young Master Qiao away.

After they left, the group of guys around Bao Zhao finally relaxed.

Li Xiaoshan signaled with his eyes, and the other children knelt down one after another: "Thank you, Miss."

Shen Baozhao was the worst at coaxing children, so he hurriedly asked them to get up. It turned out that they were all children from Maoer Hutong.

There are orphans, beggars, and children who have families but can barely afford three meals a day. Li Xiaoshan is their leader.

"Xiaoshan, do you realize your mistake?" Shen Baozhao asked with a stern face.

Li Xiaoshan looked confused. He didn't think he did anything wrong. They were avenging their friends and had not done anything against the law.

But Shen Baozhao saved his mother, allowing him to go to school and his father to work. The young lady was his benefactor.

He replied, "Xiaoshan knows his fault, please punish me, young lady."

"Do you know what's wrong?" Shen Baozhao continued to ask.

Li Xiaoshan answered honestly: "Miss, if I am wrong, then I am wrong."

Shen Baozhao obviously didn't expect such an answer. She looked at Li Xiaoshan's admiring expression and her heart softened.

"You don't have to call me Miss, you can call me Sister."

Li Xiaoshan was stunned for a moment, but then he laughed happily: "Sister!" he shouted crisply.

Shen Baozhao nodded: "You were wrong in bringing people to beat people up in the street."

"Next time you should put a sack on him and take him to a deserted alley before beating him."

"Also, you're all too skinny and weak, so hitting people won't hurt."

"You should eat more, grow stronger, and learn martial arts, so that others will not dare to bully you."

The group of children thought that Shen Baozhao was like everyone else and would definitely scold them.

Who would have thought that she was actually teaching them how to beat people? The children looked at Shen Baozhao with sparkling eyes, as if they had seen a fairy.

Seeing these originally listless children suddenly become energetic, Shen Baozhao also smiled and said, "You don't have to beg anymore. I will give some money to Aunt Li. Let her take care of your three meals a day."

"You should eat well and grow up quickly. I will hire a martial arts master for you. If you practice hard, you won't be bullied."

"As for Goudan, I will also have someone send money to his home. You don't have to worry."

These children had been neglected almost from childhood to adulthood, and suddenly this god-like sister came and told them that they would no longer go hungry in the future.

There is food to eat and martial arts to learn. The face of the child who has never felt love is full of tears, but he is happy.

Shen Baozhao was not used to such sentimental scenes, so he asked Li Xiaoshan to take them all away.

He took Bixiao back to the carriage and rushed to the Ning'an Marquis's Mansion.

Bixiao asked Baozhao in confusion, "Why did the young lady give the gold and jade ring to the steward of the Bo Mansion?"

"What if he doesn't come back?"

Shen Baozhao also cried out that it was a bad idea: "I gave it away on impulse. It's worth a lot of money. I can't do this again. I have so many children to raise."

Bixiao was shocked when she heard Baozhao's words. She was just worried that the young lady's personal belongings would fall into other people's hands and cause misunderstandings. But the young lady was actually worried that she didn't have enough money to support the children.

But when she saw that Baozhao finally showed the playfulness that was appropriate for her age, she didn't say anything else.

The young lady has been working so hard, I just hope she could worry less, Bixiao thought.

They had just arrived at the mansion when they heard the doorman say that an invitation had been sent to the Wu'an Marquis's mansion, and that the Wu'an Marquis's wife invited the fourth young lady to come to the mansion for a chat tomorrow.
