"What kind of fortune tree are you making? You're never going to stop!" Li Xinglan glared at Chen Taifu. "You're imitating your aunt's business practices. She's so angry that she can't even enjoy her meals. And now, for a few worthless trees, you're keeping your uncle awake. Just wait for me."

I'll deal with that beast Shen Lin first and then I'll deal with you!

Chen Taifu wanted to retort, but when he met Li Xinglan's gloomy gaze, he had to swallow his saliva and ran away in shame, holding the money tree.

Retracting his gaze, Li Xinglan pulled Su Su and thanked Shen Jiaojiao, "Thank you, Miss Shen. It's getting late. Can we get together at the Fairy Tale House?"

Of course, Shen Jiaojiao didn't want to miss the opportunity to spend time with Li Xinglan. She went to the Fairy Tale House every day, but she met him only a few times.

Just as she was about to agree, she looked up and saw his tired eyes filled with red bloodshot. Even the red teardrop mole under his right eye seemed to have lost its former luster.

Shen Jiaojiao rarely goes against her own heart and thinks of others. Although she really wants to spend more time with Li Xinglan, she still can't help but shake her head.

"Brother Xinglan looks extremely tired. You should go back and have a good rest. We can get together again another day."

She was no longer as arrogant as before, and even her voice was a little sweet. The look in her eyes when she looked at Li Xinglan was filled with the shyness that was unique to young girls.

Li Xinglan curled his lips into a smile, his eyes, already in their natural affection mode, flashing wildly at Shen Jiaojiao, "I'll definitely thank you in person someday."

Everyone around Su Su was stunned.

Brother Gouzi seduced Shen Jiaojiao to the point of almost losing her soul.

Sitting in the carriage on the way home, Su Su caught Li Xinglan gossiping, "You and Shen Jiaojiao! Is there something going on between you two?"

Li Xinglan hugged her and leaned on her shoulder. He closed his eyes and said in a muffled voice, "What could possibly happen between her and me? I'll be thankful if you don't cause me any trouble."

"Shen Jiaojiao looks at you like she wants to strip you naked!" Su Su pushed Li Xinglan awake with her shoulder. "Even though she came to testify for me today, I don't want her to become my sister-in-law. She has such a bad temper and will definitely abuse me."

Li Xinglan nodded perfunctorily and rested his head on Su Su's legs again. "Don't bring Ergou with you when you get into trouble in the future. I can still cover for your problems, but if he gets exposed, I can't do anything about it."

Sensing that she was still trying to move around, Li Xinglan reached out and hugged her waist again, finding a comfortable position to rub against her. "Be good, let me rest for a while."

Upon hearing this, Su Su immediately sat up straight and quiet as a chicken.

It was indeed she who caused trouble for Dog Brother again. She will never cause trouble again in the future.

Blind Chen drove his horse-drawn carriage, slowly following the flow of people on the street towards home.

When we returned to Li's house, it was already dark and Aunt Wang had already prepared the meal and was waiting for us.

Seeing that they were all back, she breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously, but then her heart ached immediately.

The safe return of the young master and young lady meant that something had happened to Shen Lin.

Shen Huan silently gave Wang Ma a look. All of this was his own fault.

Su Su knew Wang Ma's feelings for Shen Lin and wanted to explain, but was interrupted by her.

"He deserves it, he deserves it!" Even so, tears welled up in Wang Ma's eyes. "I understand."

The young master and young lady of the Li family have been merciful enough. He asked for death and he deserved it.

After a day of commotion, everyone was in a bad mood. They sat down at the dinner table listlessly. Su Su then realized, "Where's Ergou?"

At this time in the past, he would have left school long ago. Why hasn't he returned home yet?

Blind Chen also asked, "Yes, where is Ergou?"

Wang Ma replied, "I haven't seen the young master yet."

Su Su was anxious. I hope nothing happens to Ergou!

She put down her bowl and chopsticks and was about to go out to look for it, but Li Xinglan pulled her back to sit on the round stool and said, "Eat first and then look for it."

Just as Su Su was about to protest, she heard Shen Huan standing in front of the main hall door and saying, "The Second Young Master is back."

She quickly stood up, lifted her skirt and ran outside.

As soon as Shang Shiyu entered the door, he saw Su Su running quickly towards him. Afraid that she would fall, he raised his hand slightly, ready to rescue her at any time.

As soon as she got closer, Su Su smelled a faint jasmine scent on Ergouzi, which was the scent of the bath soap she made with soap beans and jasmine flowers.

"Have you taken a shower?" Su Su asked.

Shang Shiyu was stunned for a moment, then nodded, his hair still wet.

He took a shower and came back from outside with a book in his arms, looking like he had just finished school? Su Su looked at Shang Shiyu suspiciously.

Knowing she was suspicious, Shang Shiyu explained in a muffled voice, "I just took a shower, then remembered I forgot to bring my books back, so I went to school again."

"Oh..." Su Su stared at Shang Shiyu for a long time, always feeling that something was wrong, but he didn't even look at her.

She had no choice but to give up her inquiry, took his arm, and walked to the main hall, saying as she walked, "Let's eat first. A lot of things happened today. I'll tell you later."

Shang Shiyu obediently let her hold his arm, and when he sat down to eat, he was still as quiet as an autistic child.

Su Su bit her chopsticks and glanced at Shang Shiyu from time to time.

He was clearly the same as usual, expressionless and taciturn, but she just felt that there was something wrong with her Ergou, something very wrong!

After dinner, Su Su couldn't wait to pull Shang Shiyu over and ask him to take her back to the courtyard. Li Xinglan warned her from behind, "Don't talk too late!"

"Oh!" After walking a long way, Su Su turned around and responded.

At the gate of the "Beautiful Girls' Home", Su Su described what happened today in a vivid and emotional way.

When Shang Shiyu heard that Shen Lin was brought to justice and was almost dead, his expression obviously eased a lot.

He had always wanted to find an opportunity to kill that beast Shen Lin, but because of Wang Ma and Shen Huan's pleas, Su Su's heart softened and she stopped him. She felt that Shen Lin's other good leg was also crippled, so it could be considered a lesson.

But he felt it was not enough. He wanted him to die, but he could not go against Su Su's wishes.

"Gou Ge didn't blame us, he just told me not to bring you into trouble in the future." After Su Su finished speaking, she looked at Shang Shiyu carefully and asked, "Do you really have nothing to tell me?"

After a long silence, Shang Shiyu shook his head.

"Are you doing well in school? Are you getting along well with your classmates?" When Su Su asked this question, she actually already had the answer in her heart.

Because she saw scratches from the bottom of his neck all the way to his collarbone.

Even though he wore a shirt with a high collar to cover it up, she still saw it.

In the light of the lantern on the courtyard gate, she also saw a small bruise on his jaw.

Su Su sighed deeply, her anger rising to her head. She had just promised her dog brother not to cause trouble, but she couldn't let her own dog be bullied like this!

"We get along very well." Shang Shiyu never lied, but today he said it again and again because he didn't want Su Su to worry.

He took out a small oil-paper bag from his pocket, which was full of melon seeds. He handed it to Su Su, "I'm fine, don't worry about me."

Afraid that Su Su would notice his awkwardness when he lied, Shang Shiyu kept his head down and didn't dare to look her in the eye.

Shang Shiyu is an upright person and never lies, so Su Su can see through his concealment at a glance.

She knew the strength of her own Er Gouzi. How could those weak scholars possibly be his opponents? But he was still injured. There was only one reason for that.

That is, he didn't fight back at all and allowed others to bully him!
