I was just playing tricks, how come I became Bai Yueguang

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Lanxi suddenly took a step forward and kicked Shen Qingyu's knee hard.

The kick came so fast and hard that all the onlookers were dumbfounded.

Young Master Shen Qingyu has always been like this. He has said many more unpleasant things than this, but Young Master Shen Lanxi has never taken it to heart. What happened today?

"Hmm!" Shen Qingyu was caught off guard and fell to one knee on the ground.

Shen Guiling stood a few steps away. He originally wanted to enter the chrysanthemum garden, but just as he stepped over the threshold, he suddenly thought of something and stepped back, watching the farce in front of him with an expressionless face.

Shen Qingyu realized that Shen Lanxi had launched a sneak attack, and the anger that he could no longer suppress suddenly surged in his heart. He suddenly raised his head and glared at Shen Lanxi with sinister eyes, "You..."

Before Shen Lanxi could utter the word "hypocrite," he had already slowly unbuttoned his shirt cuffs and rolled up his sleeves to his forearms. Without waiting for Shen Qingyu to rise, his clenched fist, with a whistling sound, struck Shen Qingyu's left cheek with pinpoint accuracy.

Normally, no matter how violent their quarrels were, they always followed the principle of not hitting people in the face, fearing that the old man would intervene. Now Shen Lanxi directly hit him in the face, which showed that she was very angry.

"Uh!"

Shen Qingyu was hit and her head tilted to the side, and her left cheek quickly became red and swollen.

He raised his hand and gently touched the burning wound with his fingertips. Instead of getting angry, he laughed softly.

A suppressed laugh escaped from his throat, filled with malicious provocation, "What? You finally can't pretend anymore? Your true colors are finally revealed?"

As he spoke, he grinned and licked the corner of his mouth, "But unfortunately, you are a step too late, there is no place for you~"

The air around Shen Lanxi seemed to stagnate and the temperature dropped sharply.

He didn't say anything, just looked at Shen Qingyu quietly. This extreme coldness was more heart-wrenching than any outward emotion.

Seeing this, Gu He, who had been silent all the time, suddenly changed his expression and subconsciously stepped forward to help.

Gao Zhi reacted very quickly and stepped across to block Gu He. Gu He looked up at Shen Lanxi, hesitated for only a second, raised his hand and grabbed Gao Zhi's shoulder, intending to force his way in.

Shen Guiling glanced back at Lei Xing, who understood. His burly figure swiftly stepped forward like a cheetah, his large, iron-like hand grasping Gu He's other shoulder with precision, "Behave yourself."

"..."Gu He was held firmly by two men on his left and right, unable to break free for a while.

He glared at everyone around him: "What do you want to do?"

"It's so noisy." Gao Zhi covered Gu He's mouth with one hand, and Lei Xing grabbed his throat. The two of them worked together to drag Gu He away.

Seeing this, Shen Qingyu laughed even louder. He slowly stood up and looked at the two people in front of him. "What? You two want to join forces?"

Shen Lanxi pulled out a fine white silk scarf from his suit trouser pocket with an expressionless face. He lowered his eyes and slowly and methodically wiped it from the base of his fingers to the tips of his fingers, his movements elegant and careful, as if he was wiping away some unclean dirt.

"Shen Qingyu, stop doing stupid things. My patience is limited."

After saying that, Shen Lanxi threw the silk scarf she had used to wipe it at her feet, glanced at Shen Guiling coldly, and turned to walk towards the main hall.

The smile on Shen Qingyu's face froze for a moment, and a deeper gloom quickly gathered in his eyes.

At this moment, a very soft, malicious voice sounded beside him——

“How pitiful~”

Shen Qingyu then remembered that the real threat was still around him. He turned his head suddenly and looked at Shen Guiling coldly.

Shen Guiling raised an eyebrow, with a look of almost cruel pity in her eyes, "You're in a bad mood because you were rejected, right?"

Shen Guiling's words were much more lethal than Shen Lanxi's punch.

Shen Qingyu's deep pupils suddenly contracted. He could no longer conceal the anger and jealousy in his heart. He grabbed Shen Guiling's neck and said, "Don't be so complacent. It's still uncertain who will win or lose."

Shen Guiling smiled and slapped Shen Qingyu's hand away with a look of disgust, "Don't touch me, you mistress who interferes with other people's relationships."

Shen Qingyu, "..."

Shen Guiling, feeling confident, deepened the smile on her face and walked into the threshold of the Ju Garden in front of him.

*

Inside the embroidery building, Jiang Huashan still maintained her previous posture, sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze.

Shen Qingyu's confessions were like thunder, exploding in her mind over and over again, making her eardrums buzz.

She did want the plot to deviate, but it couldn't be this outrageous, right?

"Miss? Are you okay? Master Qingyu didn't do anything to you, did he?"

Zhang Ru's anxious voice seemed to come from far away, with a vague echo. Jiang Huashan was completely immersed in her own world and didn't react at all.

"Miss!" Zhang Ru anxiously nudged her shoulder. "Please say something! Don't scare Aunt Zhang!"

A slight touch on her shoulder brought Jiang Huashan back to her senses. Her long eyelashes trembled, and her gaze slowly focused on Zhang Ru's face, which was full of worry.

"Auntie Zhang? What's wrong?" She was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't even notice when Zhang Ru came in.

"What's wrong with you? Did Master Qingyu bully you?" Zhang Ru asked hurriedly when she saw that she finally responded.

Jiang Huashan opened her mouth, but found that her throat seemed to be blocked by a ball of cotton.

"No." After a long moment, she shook her head, "I bullied him."

The last words she said made Shen Qingyu feel like he was about to break. But he had already made his feelings clear, and if she didn't make things clear, that would be truly cruel.

Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain.

Jiang Huashan rubbed the corners of her swollen eyes, her voice tired and hoarse: "I'm so tired, I want to sleep for a while."

Zhang Ru immediately breathed a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly. Just as she was about to get up, she suddenly remembered what happened outside the door. Just as she was hesitating whether to say it, there was a knock on the door.

"Shan Shan."

This voice was so familiar that Jiang Huashan suddenly realized something, and her body, which had just softened, instantly stood up. She turned to look at Zhang Ru, and Zhang Ru immediately told her about Shen Guiling and Shen Lanxi's visit to Juyuan.

"Miss, I'm worried about you, so..."

Jiang Huashan inexplicably felt pain in her head, legs, stomach, and everywhere.

Zhang Ru noticed her face was inexplicably red, so she quickly stepped forward and touched her forehead. "What's wrong? Do you have a fever? I told you not to cover up so tightly in the sun. The heat is still there, and it's easy to sweat. Come on, change your clothes and get out of the heat."

Jiang Huashan's heart skipped a beat, fearing Zhang Ru would notice something. She quickly grabbed Zhang Ru's hand and interrupted her, "He doesn't have a fever! He's just... just a little stuffy! Aunt Zhang, go open the door quickly. Don't let him... don't let him wait outside for too long."

The urgency in her tone and the obvious guilty desire to change the subject made Zhang Ru stunned for a moment, but seeing that she really didn't look sick, she felt relieved and just thought that she was in a bad mood because of what Master Qingyu had done just now.

"Okay, okay, I'll go open the door right away. You just take a good rest." Zhang Ru patted her hand soothingly and turned to walk towards the door.

Jiang Huashan looked at Zhang Ma's back and breathed a sigh of relief. He subconsciously pulled his collar again to make sure that all the eye-catching marks were tightly covered.

Zhang Ru opened the door and saw Shen Guiling standing quietly outside. She smiled and greeted him, "Master Guiling."

Shen Guiling nodded slightly, looking gentle and humble. "Qingyu was in a bad mood because of the punishment, so he acted a little rashly. Is Shanshan okay?"

Zhang Ru thought of Shen Qingyu's ferocious appearance and felt very dissatisfied, but she couldn't say anything because of her identity.

Shen Guiling continued, "Aunt Zhang, go make some sweet soup for Shanshan. I'll chat with her to stop her from having any wild thoughts."

How could this person be so different from others? Zhang Ru nodded repeatedly: "Master A Ling, you are really thoughtful. I will go right away. Miss, please help me."

Shen Guiling nodded: "No trouble."
