After rebirth, I rejected the Regent, but he pursued me instead

"He Jin, let go of my sister!"

Anger made Jiang Sheng stand up, and he finally punched He Jin in the face again and again.

In an instant, blood splattered on Jiang Sheng's face.

What was different was that he was no longer afraid.

"Who gave you the courage? How dare you bully my sister? He Jin, I think you are tired of living!"

Jiang Sheng grabbed He Jin by the collar and threw him to the ground viciously, then swung his sword.

No longer bound by blood, Jiang Sheng killed those subordinates of the He family in just a few moves.

"Brother, are you okay?"

Jiang Wanyu didn't have time to tidy up her messy hair and looked at her second brother worriedly.

She finally came to this world where she was loved, and she didn't want to lose anyone who loved her.

She hooked her arms around Jiang Sheng's neck in tears, "Second brother, Wanwan almost thought she was going to kill you!"

"Silly sister, what are you talking about?"

Jiang Sheng held the blood at his mouth, put on a gentle smile, and patted Jiang Wanyu's back gently.

"Brother is not afraid of blood anymore. From now on, Brother can finally protect you and the Jiang family."

"Ah."

The brother and sister hugged each other tightly.

Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps approached.

He Jin looked up and saw that it was someone from the Dali Temple.

As if he had seen a savior, he slowly stood up and walked towards the people from the Dali Temple, then turned around and pointed at Jiang Sheng and said, "Xu Shaoqing, you came at the right time, quickly arrest the Jiang family for me! How dare they murder me!"

But Xu Shaoqing grabbed He Jin's hands with his backhand.

"Mr. He, you have already lost your title as king. I am here to arrest you."

"arrest?!"

He Jin was stunned, his face changed drastically, "What rights do you have to arrest me? Aren't you afraid that I will tell my father that you are not enforcing the law impartially?!"

"Mr. He, we are now enforcing the law impartially."

After that, Xu Shaoqing took out the Dali Temple law enforcement token from his waist and said, "He Jin, there is solid evidence that you deliberately murdered Yang Yichen four years ago. We are here to arrest you on the order of the emperor."

"what?!"

Not only He Jin, but everyone present was stunned, especially Yang Erchen.

"Master Xu, are you saying that our brother's case can be solved now? We spent a lot of effort before but couldn't solve it, how come it's so fast now? Did someone plant clues before?"

Yang Er pulled at the corner of Xu Shaoqing's clothes in surprise.

Xu Shaoqing bowed and explained.

"This matter is not something that our Dali Temple has been investigating for a long time. It's just that we have not had conclusive evidence. However, a few days ago, someone anonymously reported He Jin and presented the evidence. Only then were we able to investigate the case. Young Master Yang, I am sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time."

After saying this, Xu Shaoqing arrested members of the He family one by one.

Looking at He Jin's back as he was taken away, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"Erchen, your elder brother's case has finally been cleared."

Jiang Sheng patted Yang Erchen on the back.

"Yeah, it's been four years, and it finally has an ending."

Yang Erchen slowly raised his head and looked in the direction where the He family retreated, as if everything had come to an end.

But before, they could not find any evidence of destruction by the He family. Why did they suddenly appear in the Dali Temple now?

He couldn't believe that the person who presented him with the evidence was such a powerful person—he could easily accomplish what they had not been able to do in four years.

On this side, Song Qi Yan was standing on the eaves not far away, observing everything.

"Your Majesty, you are really patient. Miss Jiang was almost killed by He Jin..."

Qingxuan didn't dare to continue.

To be honest, after watching that scene just now, his prince did not take any action and no one helped Miss Jiang. He was worried for Miss Jiang and didn't know how his prince could bear it.

"Didn't Jiang Sheng take action anyway? I just wanted to see if he has the ability to do it."

Song Qi Yan's brows gradually relaxed and he breathed a sigh of relief.

I almost couldn't hold back and took action.

"So, the prince deliberately forced the second young master Jiang to take action?"

"Jiang Sheng is a martial arts genius, but he was restrained by the incident with Yang Yichen. If he can get through this, he will definitely be one of the generals needed by the court in the future. Now I am just recruiting talents for the future prosperity."

"Besides," Song Qiyan paused, his eyes gradually deepening, "and if I'm not with her in the future, there will be someone who can protect her."

"she?"

Qing Xuan stared blankly at Miss Jiang who was laughing in the distance, "Will the prince not always be by Miss Jiang's side? Who will be the one to protect her?"

Song Qiyan remained silent, just tapped Qingxuan's head, and then said, "Everything is unpredictable, how can you and I guess it."

With his hands behind his back, he quietly looked at the smiling woman in the afterglow, and the light in his eyes became more and more solemn.

What he was doing now was going to overthrow the entire court. If he failed in one step, he would be doomed, so how could he selfishly drag her into it?

If there really comes a day when I can no longer protect her, what does it matter if someone else does? As long as she can live like this with a smile on her face, it's enough.

"Oh, tell Ren Qiuhao to interrogate He Jin as harshly as possible. It would be best if he is half dead."

"Yes!"

Qing Xuan raised his eyes slightly and glanced at Song Qi Yan.

There were layers of anger in the man's eyes, and his gaze was fierce, like a ferocious wolf.

He secretly thought in his heart that He Jin should be grateful that Jiang Sheng finally came out of the shadows and took action against him, otherwise if it was their prince's turn, he would have killed him on the spot.

"Let's go."

"Walk?"

Qing Xuan raised his eyes slightly in confusion. The prince had been staying up all night these days to resolve the Yang family's issues and had worked hard for several days and nights. Now he was leaving so easily?

"Your Majesty, why don't you say hello to the Jiang family? Especially Miss Jiang."

"Why tell her such a small thing? If I were good enough, she would understand even if I didn't tell her."

But I am not good enough now, that's why she avoids me and is disgusted with me.

As he thought about it, Song Qiyan's eyes gradually dimmed, and even a hint of sadness flashed across them.

I clenched my fists, faced the afterglow, and took one last look at her.

What should I do? Jiang Wanyu, can you take a good look at me? Like me again...

"Let's go. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

"Here."

Qingxuan said nothing more and left with Song Qiyan.

-

The summer sunset is always so brilliant.

The afterglow shines softly on the earth, making this bloody alley so warm and cozy.

Jiang Wanyu twisted her foot because of the struggle just now, so she had to let Jiang Sheng carry her on his back.

"Second brother, are you not afraid of blood now?"

"Hahaha, now I'm the second brother, I'm fearless!"

Looking at the laughing Jiang Sheng, Jiang Wanyu breathed a sigh of relief. She would rather her second brother be a handsome young man than be as depressed as he has been these days.

"By the way, Wanwan, tell me the truth, have you been following me these past few days?"

"Ah! Second brother, how did you know?!"

"After all, I am also a martial artist, so I am naturally more sensitive than you. But..."

Jiang Sheng pursed his lips and said, "Thank you, Wanwan. My second brother almost couldn't come out, luckily you kept calling me."

"What's the big deal! My second brother has always been a good brother to me."

Jiang Wanyu smiled faintly.

In her previous life, she had a family or even no family at all. Now that she has met a family that cherishes her, she naturally won’t love them well.

"Oh, so it turns out that second brother's love of playing is just pretending. I saw that you went to the brothel just to drink."

"Who said that lust is a man's nature? I don't go to a brothel to learn those ideas, so how can I give you ideas on how to pursue Song Qiyan?"

"I'm not chasing him anymore."

"That's right, I think he seems to be chasing you."

"Second brother, are you kidding me? And you are so philandering that you will never be able to pursue the girl you like. You should learn more from your elder brother, who is gentle and steady. You are nothing like him!"

"Tsk, big brother is so unpopular with the opposite sex. I've never seen him like a woman. He's always busy. Either he's worried about you and Song Qiyan's affairs... or he's in trouble because of me..."

After saying that, both of them fell silent...

"Let's save our brother some worries from now on."

"Ah."
