Chai Bin stared at Shen Shuyi for a long time with furious eyes.

However, the thin girl in front of him looked calm, without any sign of fear. Instead, she kept looking at him with a smile, waiting patiently.

After a while, Chai Bin laughed strangely, leaned over to pat the dust off Zhao Baokun, and helped him up forcefully: "Miss, you are right, Brother Baokun and I just admire each other, and we were itching to learn from each other, so we couldn't help but discuss it in the street!"

Zhao Baokun and Zhao Xueqing's eyes fell on Shen Shuyi, and they were a little dazed for a moment.

Shen Shuyi ignored the two of them and said gently, "If that's the case, I'm sure Master Chai wouldn't mind paying for my cousin's medical treatment."

Chai Bin narrowed his eyes and smiled, "As you should!"

After saying that, he swiftly took out a silver note and handed it to Shen Shuyi with both hands.

At the same time, he looked at the girl in front of him carefully, thinking quickly: "Cousin? Are you Minister Shen's daughter?"

Shen Shuyi took it with a smile, his almond eyes cold and indifferent: "Mr. Chai is worthy of being a member of the Imperial Guard. The things in the capital really can't be hidden from your eyes."

Chai Bin carried Zhao Baokun, who was already somewhat unsteady on his feet, and approached him. He stared down at Shen Shuyi and said in a low voice, "Please tell me, Miss Shen, how did you know about this?"

Shen Shuyi smiled and said, "If you don't want others to know, then don't do it. Although the capital is big, there is no wall that is impenetrable in this world."

Chai Bin became even angrier as he didn't get the reason.

After Zhao Baokun recovered, he frowned and pushed him away, sneering: "So Master Chai is also afraid sometimes!"

Chai Bin's face turned pale, and his eyes were filled with viciousness under his rough eyebrows: "Don't think you can control me just because you know this. At worst, I'll get beaten up by the old man when I get back. After all, I'm his biological son, and he can't kill me!"

Zhao Baokun wanted to say something, but Shen Shuyi interrupted him in a gentle voice, "Mr. Chai, you are worrying too much. The Qingyuan Marquis's Mansion and the Chai family have always kept to themselves. Now they are just looking for an opportunity to turn hostility into friendship."

Hearing this, Chai Bin's expression eased a little. After all, Shen Shuyi was very humble, and although his voice was as cold as pearls, the words he spoke were soft.

To put it bluntly, she just wanted to ask for mercy for the Qingyuan Marquisate and beg him to show some mercy!

Chai Bin cupped his hands, clasped his fists towards Shen Shuyi, and acted like a gentleman: "As Miss wishes, but please keep the secret for me, I will be very grateful."

"Of course." Shen Shuyi said calmly.

Chai Bin said slowly: "Miss, you are willing to keep the secret for me. Although I am very grateful, I just don't know where you got this information..."

Shen Shuyi looked as if he was fooled by his appearance, and said in a gentle voice: "Don't worry, sir, this was something my second brother saw by accident, he is not a talkative person, he will keep the secret for you."

Second brother?

Chai Bin quickly searched in his mind, the second son of Minister Shen’s mansion?

The Shen Jingan who is famous in Beijing?

Oh, what a great Shen Jingan, he's actually a nagging bastard!

Since he is not a talkative person, how could he let this matter reach the ears of the young girl in front of him? It is not known how many people in the Shen family know about it.

When he thought of this, Chai Bin's face couldn't help but darken.

"Thank you Miss Shen for telling me. Brother Zhao and I will never do anything dirty again in the future." Chai Bin smiled but his words sounded nice, but as a tall and strong man, he showed some murderous intent.

After Chai Bin and his group left, Shen Shuyi's gaze fell on Zhao Xueqing and Zhao Baokun in front of him.

Zhao Xueqing still had tears in her eyes, and she bowed to Shen Shuyi: "Thank you, cousin, for helping me out today, otherwise my reputation would be in jeopardy."

Zhao Baokun's gaze fell on Shen Shuyi, with some complexity in his eyes.

After a while, at Zhao Xueqing's signal, he said stiffly, "Thank you."

Shen Shuyi took a look at his injuries and asked gently, "How is it? Can you still walk?"

Zhao Baokun's face flushed a little: "Of course, Chai Bin is just an embroidered pillow!"

Shen Shuyi smiled and said nothing.

Chai Bin is no empty talker, he has actually been to the battlefield and killed many people.

Although he may not be a top expert, he is definitely not an ordinary person. Otherwise, he would not have been able to get the position of deputy commander of the Imperial Guard at such a young age.

When Shen Shuyi smiled, Zhao Baokun felt as if the snow and wind had stopped, the trumpet creepers in the corner were in full bloom, the deep cold faded away, the sunlight penetrated the clouds, scattered on the ice surface, and reflected some warmth.

He spoke uncomfortably: "When did you return to Beijing?"

Shen Shuyi looked at the crowd that suddenly gathered on the street and answered with two minds at the same time: "It's only been a while."

Hearing this, Zhao Baokun stopped talking. Instead, Zhao Xueqing said in a gentle voice, "Cousin, Chai Bin is narrow-minded. You offended him by helping me and my cousin. I'm afraid he will cause trouble for you in the future."

Shen Shuyi smiled and looked directly at Zhao Xueqing, with a little starlight in her almond eyes: "Cousin, didn't you hear it? This was what my second brother said. I was not the one who discovered his secret. What does it have to do with me?"

What's more, she is an unmarried woman. Even if Chai Bin wants to plot against her, it will not be as easy as dealing with Shen Jing'an.

Zhao Xueqing was stunned for a few seconds, then reacted and whispered, "So, this wasn't said by Shen Jingan?"

Shen Shuyi did not answer. It didn't matter who said it. After all, it was not something that she, a woman from the inner chamber who had just returned from the Jade Buddha Temple and was unfamiliar with the affairs of the capital, could know.

As long as Chai Bin was not stupid, he would not suspect her.

Tsk, it looks like her good second brother is going to suffer for nothing.

However, when Shen Jing'an suffered for a few days, his cousin and cousin could finally take a break and no longer be troubled by Chai Bin.

Shen Shuyi glanced at the face value on the banknote and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

One hundred taels, it seems that the Chai family is really not short of money, and Chai Bin is quite generous in spending.

Shen Shuyi stuffed the banknote into Zhao Baokun's hand. Before he could speak, Zhao Baokun frowned and said coldly, "I don't want his dirty money! If you want it, you can keep it!"

Zhao Xueqing said angrily: "Bao Kun!"

Perhaps realizing that his tone was too harsh, Zhao Baokun turned his face away awkwardly.

Shen Shuyi was not annoyed, and sneered: "You were quite smart when you were young, why do you become dumber as you grow older?"

"What do you mean!" Zhao Baokun's face turned red with anger and he glared at Shen Shuyi.

Shen Shuyi looked straight at him with her almond-shaped eyes and said in a deep voice: "Let me ask you, if you were Chai Bin, what would happen after you returned today?"

Zhao Baokun thought for a moment: "First, move the mistress and the child away and erase all traces. Second, settle the score with Shen Jingan."

Shen Shuyi's eyes flashed with a gleam of brilliance, and he said quietly, "Haven't you always wanted revenge? Take this money, find a few people, and while Chai Bin is drunk, put him in a sack and beat him up."
