The fact that he made such a big fuss actually shows that he wants to live.

He used pretended guilt and self-blame to gain sympathy from others, so that Xiao Yan would not kill him for fear of his reputation.

Otherwise, if he really felt sorry, the person who rushed into Guangrentang and carried her here should not have been Xiong Lu, but him.

Xiao Yan stood in the corridor, tall and graceful.

The mask shone coldly in the sunlight, making people feel terrified.

He opened his lips, his tone cold: "Do you want to die?"

"…I have caused trouble for the Deputy Envoy, and I can only apologize with my death."

"Then I'll make it happen for you."

The man suddenly looked up with a look of surprise, as if he had never expected Xiao Yan to be so "easy to talk to".

Shen Qiyin wanted to laugh when he saw this.

At this time, several other Thousand Eagle Guards who were saved by Qian Xing, either out of grief or because they really had deep feelings for him, boldly pleaded for him, "Please show mercy, sir!"

"It would be better to let him make amends for his crime and serve as a warning to others."

"Please have mercy, sir."

After he finished speaking, he kowtowed several times on the ground.

Xiao Yan stood with his back to Shen Qiyin, so she couldn't see the expression on his face. She only heard him say, "Since we are brothers, the road to the underworld is long. Will you accompany him?"

Upon hearing this, those people began to kowtow again, but their voices were obviously much louder than before.

He even changed his tone and just begged for mercy.

Xiao Yan ignored them, walked down the stairs, and stood in front of Zhao Jiu.

"Sir..." Zhao Jiu looked up at him, his eyes filled with absolute fear of death, rather than the unbearable pain of almost killing his brother.

"Eagle Perch never leaves any waste behind!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he struck the sword in the throat.

Zhao Jiu knelt straight on the ground with his eyes wide open. In the blink of an eye, a pool of blood formed under him. The blood flowed along the cracks between the blue-grey bricks and meandered to Xiao Yan's feet.

Just when Shen Qiyin was losing interest and thought that the play was about to come to an end, he saw Xiao Yan strike back with another sword.

"So do idiots."

He actually killed the three people who had just begged for mercy!

The speed of the attack and the cruelty of the mind are jaw-dropping.

The Frost Sword in his hand reflected the setting sun, like a streak of autumn water, cold and murderous.

Everyone in the Eagle Pavilion lowered their heads and eyes, not daring to speak lightly.

Only Shen Qiyin stared at him intently, his eyes shining frighteningly.

Crazy enough!

She likes...

When we returned to Guangrentang, it was already dusk.

Honeysuckle was indeed getting impatient and was walking around in circles.

Finally seeing Shen Qiyin return safely, she was excited at first, then pouted and was about to cry: "Miss, wuuuu..."

Shen Qiyin hurriedly coaxed her.

After she repeatedly assured him that such a situation would never happen again, Rendong's emotions gradually calmed down.

It was getting late, and she and Rendong should go back home.

When leaving Guangrentang, Shen Qiyin took out half of the medical fee Xiao Yan gave her and gave it to Dazhuang, and deposited the rest in the money shop.

She didn't even waste the brocade box that contained the silver. She took it to the pawnshop and pawned it for a few more ounces of silver.

When we returned to Shen's house, it was already dusk.

The setting sun was as red as blood, stretching her and Honeysuckle's shadows very long. As the sun sank and the moon rose, and darkness fell, the two shadows became fainter and fainter.

The servant said that Old Madam Shen had been waiting for her for a long time and asked her to come back and go directly to Zhuijin Hall.

Shen Qiyin had expected this to happen.

I think the news that she went to Feng's house to cancel the engagement in the morning has already been reported back to the mansion.

The old lady will definitely come to demand accountability.

Shen Qiyin was afraid that Rendong would be hungry, so he found an excuse to ask her to go back to Haitangyuan first, and then went to see Old Madam Shen alone.

There was an unexpected person in Zhuijin Hall.

The eldest son of the Shen family, Shen Guangzong, is her elder brother.

Although they are siblings, he is far from being as good-looking as Shen Qiyin. He can barely be considered handsome.

Now I am already a young man. I failed in the provincial examination three years ago, but I am taking part in the autumn examination this year and am waiting for the results to be announced.

When Shen Qiyin went in, he happened to hear the grandfather and grandson dreaming about Shen Guangzong winning the first prize in the imperial examination and bringing glory to the Shen family.

Seeing her coming, the smiles on their faces froze.

Madam Shen was furious: "You still remember to come back? Kneel down!"

Shen Qiyin had a smile on his face, but his eyes were cold.

She never considered herself to be a tough person. Besides, everyone had knelt before visiting a grave. The old lady would have to do it sooner or later, so it would be okay for her to pay her respects in advance. However, her legs were so sore today that she didn't have the heart to cooperate with her pretense.

She walked to the seat opposite Shen Guangzong and sat down, then said slowly, "Grandmother has been very angry recently. I wonder what she is talking about today?"

After she finished speaking, Madam Shen didn't react at all. Instead, Shen Guangzong, who was standing next to her, looked at her with disapproval in his eyes, with the attitude of a superior.

Shen Qiyin just took a glance and quickly looked away.

Die together with Shen Cang.

So disgusting.

"Qiyin, grandma asked you to kneel down."

"I heard it." She wasn't deaf.

"Why don't you kneel?"

"Then why didn't you come back with a successful candidate three years ago? Was it because you didn't like it?"

"Or... your status as a bastard has affected your performance, brother?" Shen Qiyin said nonchalantly, "I guess it's because you can't do it, brother."

"What a coincidence, me too." She looked at him and blinked, her expression innocent: "My legs hurt, I can't kneel down a bit."

"You!" Shen Guangzong's defense was instantly broken.

There are two things he hates most in his life:

One was his status as a bastard's son, and the other was that he failed the provincial examination three years ago.

Shen Qiyin grabbed both of her pulse points at once and poked at his lungs. How could he not be angry?

Old Madam Shen has always regarded her eldest grandson as a treasure in her hand. How could she allow Shen Qiyin to bully him and bully him? Moreover, Shen Qiyin disobeyed her and refused to kneel, and he broke off the engagement without her knowledge... All these things made her so angry that smoke came out of her head.

"What kind of madness are you in?!" He was so easy to control yesterday, but today he is so rampant, like a different person: "If I don't make you suffer a little, you probably don't know how high the sky is and how thick the earth is."

"Someone, teach her a lesson!"

Old Madam Shen's face was ferocious, completely different from the kind and gentle appearance she showed when facing Shen Guangzong.

As soon as she finished speaking, a maid brought up a tray covered with a black cloth. No one knew what was underneath.

Shen Qiyin knew it clearly.

It's a needle.

She couldn't help but sneer in her heart.

This old lady was probably a ghost thorn grass in her previous life, good for nothing except pricking people.

After receiving the order, the burly old woman walked towards Shen Qiyin with the needle in hand, grabbed her arm roughly and started to pierce her arm.

But something fell from her body and landed heavily at her feet with a clang.

Madam Shen and Shen Guangzong looked at her at the same time: "What is it?"
