Reborn as a Sickly Child: The Emperor's Beloved

The second-generation rich man looked around nervously, searching anxiously for the person who had made the move hidden in the dark. His eyes were full of vigilance and doubt, and his brows were tightly knitted.

Suddenly, his sight stopped on Shen Yanyan, and a hint of greed flashed in his eyes.

He stared at her closely, looking her up and down. He had never seen such a beautiful woman.

The second-generation rich man's eyes revealed his desire and possessiveness for her, which aroused greed in his heart.

When Xia Zhu saw him staring at her young lady with disgusting eyes, she instantly became furious. She stood up and walked to the middle, kicking the second-generation rich man to the ground.

Her daughter is also worthy of being seen by this lecher.

Shen Yanyan drank her tea calmly.

"Ah... How dare you hit me, young master? Do you know who I am? You slut." The fat man was lying on the ground screaming and yelling, wondering how a maid dared to hit him.

Xia Zhu didn't care who he was. No one could look at the young lady like that.

"If you dare to look around with your eyes again, I'll dig them out for you." Xia Zhu stepped on the man's foot, causing him to groan in pain.

"Bitch, I am the nephew of the Queen Mother. How dare you hit me? I will kill your whole family."

Shen Yanyan raised her eyebrows when she heard his words. The Empress Dowager's nephew is Yuan Hanshuang's younger brother. It's true that enemies always meet.

After hearing this, Xia Zhu became even more unscrupulous. He beat Empress Yuan Hanshuang the same way, let alone a man outside the palace. Xia Zhu stepped on him hard, and the man screamed like a pig being slaughtered in pain.

"Ah.....bitch, don't you want to live anymore?

Seeing this, the servants nearby quickly got up from the ground. If they let the young master get beaten outside, they would definitely be beaten to death when they returned.

Several people stepped forward and tried to attack Xia Zhu.

Seeing that these people had only a few skills, Xia Zhu kicked them away one by one.

There were a few "bang bang bang" sounds, and one person was kicked flying, his body drew an arc in the air and hit the table heavily.

Instantly, the tables and chairs in the lobby seemed to be swept by a strong wind, falling all over the place, creating a chaotic scene. Some tables were knocked over, with items on them scattered all over the floor; some chairs were broken into pieces in the collision.

People screamed and dodged the sudden chaos. The whole hall was in a mess.

Shen Yanyan walked to the middle, her beautiful face exposed to the eyes of the people watching the excitement on the second floor, and everyone showed looks of amazement.

The man leaning against the window saw Shen Yanyan's face and showed a rare look of amazement, "Brother Chu, come and take a look. Who is prettier, the beauty downstairs or the one from your Shuijian Sect?"

The man in black glanced at him coldly without moving an inch.

The man curled his lips in boredom. This man is really boring. He only knows how to fight and kill all day long. How boring.

Then I ignored him and continued to watch the excitement downstairs.

"You are from the Yuan family." Shen Yanyan walked over and looked down at him.

"I am the eldest son of the Yuan family. So what? Are you scared? It's good that you are scared. Kowtow to me three times. If you continue to play with me, I won't bother with you." The second-generation rich man looked at Shen Yanyan's face with a lewd look.

Shen Yanyan looked at Xia Zhu and said, "Help him up."

The second-generation rich man thought Shen Yanyan had understood, and his face was full of pride, "You are sensible."

Xia Zhu roughly pulled the man up, put his hands on the man's shoulders, and held him steadily.

Snapped!Snapped!

Shen Yanyan raised her hand and slapped him twice, one on the left and one on the right. She used some force and it hurt her own hands. Then she frowned and shook her hands away.

The loud slapping sound echoed throughout the entire restaurant. The onlookers couldn't help but cover their faces. Their backs felt cold as they watched. How painful it must have been.

"The eldest son of the Yuan family, I'm going to hit you. If you keep talking nonsense, I'll dig out your eyes and break your hands." She had always remembered the slap from Yuan Hanshuang. Today, by chance, she met her brother, so she gave him two big slaps to teach him a lesson.

The man on the second floor gasped when he saw her. What a fierce woman! How could she be so fierce when she looked so beautiful?

Shen Yanyan was a little curious. Are all the Yuan family members a combination of superheroes? The tempers and personalities of the whole family are like this. They want to kill and beat people at any time. It's really a sin.

Xia Zhu looked at the man whose face was swollen like a pig, threw him to the ground with disgust, and handed the handkerchief to the lady to wipe her hands.

The man on the ground was dizzy from the beating. He looked at the two men, pointing with trembling hands, unable to utter a word.

Shen Yanyan gave him a provocative look and motioned for Xia Zhu to pay the bill.

Xia Zhu handed the bag of silver to the shopkeeper and said, "The rest is for the broken tables and chairs."

Looking at the big bag full of silver, the shopkeeper raised his eyebrows. These tables and chairs were not worth that much money. It was too much.

"The money for the meals in the hall is also included in this." Xia Zhu looked at several tables whose food was ruined as soon as they started eating.

The shopkeeper nodded and smiled flatteringly: "Thank you, sir. You are such a good man."

"Our young lady has plenty of money, and this is all our young lady's orders." Xia Zhu looked at Shen Yanyan and said.

After paying the bill, the two walked out of the restaurant and continued to visit the lantern festival.

Looking at the still bustling streets, the crowds on the streets are still bustling. On weekdays at this time everyone has gone home and there is no one on the streets, but the Ghost Festival seems to be particularly lively.

Shen Yanyan took Xia Zhu to buy a lot of food and interesting gadgets from Beijing. Finally, they went to the bookstore, picked out a large box, and gave the shopkeeper some money. "Shopkeeper, put these things and books here, someone will come to pick them up soon."

The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly and said that he was willing to give him a piece of silver if he kept it there for a while.

Shen Yanyan walked out of the door, glanced in the direction of An Qi, and pointed inside the bookstore. An Qi, who was hiding in the dark, understood immediately, and after Shen Yanyan left, he sent someone to move the boxes and those miscellaneous things onto the carriage.

The two of them strolled along the bustling street, and the sight before them was dizzying.

The streets are filled with colorful riddles, attracting people to stop and ponder, vying to guess the answers; fire-playing artists dance with burning torches in the air, sparks flying, like a group of dancing fire butterflies, which is breathtaking.

Various activities are in full swing, and the streets and alleys are filled with a strong historical atmosphere.

The two were attracted by the lively atmosphere and finally stopped in front of the fire show stall.

They watched with full concentration as the performers played with fire, sometimes transforming into giant dragons soaring into the sky, sometimes flying like birds. The firelight illuminated their faces, reflecting the wonder and excitement in their eyes.

They were enjoying the show so much that they seemed to have forgotten the passage of time and were completely immersed in this wonderful performance.

The night was as dark as ink, and time passed quickly. The lights on the street gradually dimmed, and the number of pedestrians gradually decreased.

Shen Yanyan and Xia Zhu walked side by side, slowly moving towards the palace gate.

As they walked, they came to the entrance of a dark alley.

Suddenly, the crackling sound of swords clashing came from the dark alley, and the sound was particularly harsh in the silent night. Shen Yanyan and Xia Zhu looked at each other, and a trace of vigilance surged in their hearts. They approached the dark alley cautiously, wanting to find out what was going on.

As we approached the dark alley, the sounds of fighting became clearer. Two figures flashed in the darkness, swords flashed and sparks flew from time to time.

They were agile and swift, as if they were well-trained warriors. Shen Yanyan and Xia Zhu watched the fierce battle nervously, secretly worried for both sides.

Suddenly, a flash of cold light passed by, and one warrior swung out a sword fiercely, while the other warrior dodged sideways and then swung his sword back. The two fought back and forth, neither giving in, and it was difficult to tell who would win for a while.

The atmosphere in the dark alley was extremely tense, as if even the air had frozen.

Shen Yanyan and Xia Zhu held their breath, fearing that they would attract unnecessary attention. At this moment, a warrior seemed to have found the opponent's weakness. He exerted force and stabbed the opponent in the chest with a sword. The opponent fell to the ground, and the sword in his hand also fell to the ground with a clang.

At that thrilling moment, the tense atmosphere seemed to freeze. The man was holding a sharp blade, murderous, with a determined light flashing in his eyes, as if ready to strike at any time.

At this time, Shen Yanyan was squatting, her body gradually becoming numb. She moved carefully, hoping to relieve the discomfort.

Suddenly, a loud shout came from the alley: "Who!" The shout echoed in the narrow space like thunder.

Shen Yanyan's heartbeat accelerated instantly, and she stared ahead nervously with her eyes wide open. The man on the ground was also startled by the sudden shout, and he saved his life.

At this moment, time seemed to have stopped flowing, and every second seemed particularly long.

Shen Yanyan held her breath and dared not move at all, for fear of attracting that person's attention.

After a brief moment of shock, the man quickly regained his composure and looked around vigilantly, trying to find the source of the sound.

The whole alley fell into an eerie silence, with only the faint sound of wind blowing.

Shen Yanyan's brain was working rapidly, and she was thinking about how to safely escape from this dangerous situation. The man became more and more nervous, holding the knife in his hand more tightly, and walked towards the direction where the two people were peeking.

Feeling the approaching breath, Shen Yanyan didn't blame him for anything. It wasn't like she couldn't win. She just stood up and stretched her body to relieve the numbness in her legs from squatting.

Seeing that they were two women, the man holding the knife curled his lips slightly, with some disdain. It was just killing two more people. He would deal with the two women first and then him.

The man on the ground was obviously stunned when he saw Shen Yanyan and Xia Zhu, and then he realized that he was saved. Both of them were better at martial arts than him. He could definitely buy some time. As long as he bought a little time, Leng Xue would come to save him.
