Si Zhengxuan slowly lowered the curtain of the carriage. He had just seen Qingshan about to come forward, but this girl grabbed her elder brother, obviously wanting to handle it herself.

He also wanted to see how this girl would deal with the current situation after speaking so arrogantly today.

Si Yan discovered that the group of bullies from Shangjing across the street did not recognize her, nor did they recognize her brother Si Qingshan.

Si Qingshan has been leading troops to fight at the border all year round and has rarely returned to Beijing in the past few years.

This time, he returned to Shangjing after the war between Daxuan and Beimang Kingdom was over and he was summoned by the emperor. It was normal that the bullies in Shangjing City did not know him.

"Oh, it turns out to be Master Zhen's eldest son, Zhen Jun."

Si Yan smiled brightly, her eyes curved as she looked at the man in front of her who was looking at her with his chin raised.

"You know my eldest son, how dare you be so rude?" Ren Hu, the follower next to Zhen Jun, said coldly.

When the woman heard the name of his young master, a smile immediately appeared on her face, and it seemed that she wanted to marry into a wealthy family.

"Miss, do you know me?" Zhen Jun spoke at this time.

"Who in the capital doesn't know Master Zhen?" Si Yan smiled wryly, but the smile didn't show in his eyes.

Although she had never met Zhen Jun, she had heard of the name of the son of the Minister of Justice.

Zhen Jun's father, Zhen Zhinian, the Minister of Punishment, was instructed by the Imperial Noble Consort and Prime Minister four years ago to use special methods in prison to torture Prince Yong and extract a confession, torturing him to the point that he almost lost his life.

Zhen Jun bumped into her today, and he won’t be able to leave without getting skinned alive.

Zhen Jun's gaze fell on Si Qingshan, his expression slightly cold: "Who is the young man next to the young lady?"

Si Yan glanced at his brother calmly: "Oh, I don't know him. Maybe he's here to buy osmanthus cake too."

Si Qingshan: ...

He stared at his sister with wide eyes, flicked his sleeves, took two bags of osmanthus cake, and turned back to the carriage.

Si Zhengxuan on the carriage: ...

These brother and sister are really bold, one dares to say it, and the other dares to do it!

Seeing Si Qingshan being sent away, Zhen Jun and his gang immediately lost their scruples. The follower Ren Hu looked at Si Yan with a look of vulgarity and contempt.

To put it bluntly, this woman knew that her son was of noble status, so she pretended not to know the man who came with her.

When they first arrived, they clearly saw the woman and the man talking and laughing, and the man even paid for her osmanthus cake.

That man was also a coward. When he met his son, he didn't even say a word in defense and just walked away with his head down.

Zhen Jun's eyes never left Si Yan. "I wonder if I could do you the honor of inviting you to the Yayue Pavilion Restaurant across the street for a drink?"

He was on good terms with King Chen and had seen all kinds of beautiful women, but he had never seen one like this.

This was no ordinary woman; she was one of a kind in the world. If he could get her, he would present her to King Chen...

King Chen will surely be delighted, as he will certainly benefit from it in the future.

"Sure." Si Yan was very straightforward. He looked up at the three-story attic opposite and said, "Yayue Pavilion is such a great place. I haven't been there yet."

Zhen Jun didn't expect this woman to be so easy to fool. He immediately smiled and said, "Then I will book a private room in Yayue Pavilion today. Miss, please come with me?"

"Now?" Si Yan raised his eyes slightly and looked at Zhen Jun with a smile in his eyes.

"What? Is it inconvenient for the girl?"

"Convenient, convenient." Si Yan gently retracted his gaze, looked at the scattered cakes and the curious onlookers around, "But you just knocked the cake out of my hand, please pick it up first."

Zhen Jun's expression changed. What kind of cakes does this woman want at this time?

Ren Hu beside him suddenly said angrily: "You woman, don't be shameless. My master treats you to a drink because he thinks highly of you."

Si Yan pretended not to hear and his expression turned cold: "Master Zhen, aren't you going to pick it up?"

Of course, Zhen Jun couldn't pick her up, but he didn't want to fall out with her, so he wanted to get the girl and give her to King Chen.

Zhen Jun smiled slightly and said to Si Yan, "Miss, these cakes have fallen on the ground and are dirty. You can't eat them if you pick them up. I will buy you as many as you want."

The shopkeeper looked at Zhen Jun with a face full of fear, stammering, "Sir, this girl bought...bought a lot. The cakes have just been sold out. If we make them now, it will take at least half an hour..."

Zhen Jun's face darkened: "Then let's go to the restaurant and wait, and you can bring it to us later."

"Yes, yes, yes." The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly, hoping that this plague god would leave quickly.

"I won't go without pastries." Si Yan stood still and replied softly.

Ren Hu clenched his fists and stepped forward: "You are looking for trouble, right? Don't think that just because my young master is good-tempered and polite to you, you dare to neglect my young master."

"Polite?" Si Yan sneered, "Would politeness mean allowing a dog next to you to bark at me?"

Zhen Jun looked unhappy, but thinking of the value of this woman, he could not help but coldly ordered: "Ren Hu, why don't you pick up the cakes?"

"Son..."

"Pick it up!" Zhen Jun's expression turned stern.

Ren Hu saw that his master looked serious and didn't dare to say anything.

But he just wouldn't accept it.

How dare this woman use the young master to embarrass him?

"Yes, sir." Ren Hu responded with his eyebrows lowered and went to pick up the cakes reluctantly.

Two bags of pastries were scattered everywhere, half of which was still intact in the paper bag.

Ren Hu took a look, raised his right foot, and placed it directly on the remaining half bag of pastries.

"Ouch! Miss, I'm so sorry. I stepped on it accidentally. I'm so sorry."

After he finished speaking, he crushed the half bag of cakes hard, crushing the osmanthus cakes into pieces.

Everyone around was angry but dared not speak out. They were used to seeing the son of the Minister of Justice and his men acting tyrannically every day.

His father is the Minister of Justice, in charge of the prison. He can arrest people and put them in the prison if he disagrees with them. Who dares to offend him?

Ren Hu walked up to Si Yan with a half-sack of crushed cakes in his hand: "Miss, this is all dirty and inedible. Do you want more?"

"Yes." The smile on Si Yan's face disappeared, and he looked at Ren Hu with a cold tone, "I want you to eat it."

"Huh? Are you kidding me? You want me to eat these crappy cakes?"

Ren Hu jumped aside as if he had heard a joke. He turned the bag over and poured the pastries out onto the ground.

He only eats delicacies from land and sea when he follows the young master, but this woman actually lets him eat these lousy cakes on the ground. What a joke!

Zhen Jun did not scold Ren Hu, but just said to Si Yan: "Young lady, why do you care about these trivial matters?"

Si Yan stared at Zhen Jun expressionlessly: "I'm determined to make a fuss about it."

Zhen Jun was stunned.

This girl has a bit of a hot temper, Prince Chen will definitely like her.

Zhen Jun winked at his men, and Ren Hu immediately understood what his young master meant.

"Come on, young lady. You just want some cakes, don't you? Let's go to Yayue Pavilion Restaurant first. The owner will bring them to you in a while."

Without waiting for Si Yan to speak, Ren Hu walked up to him, grabbed Si Yan's arm and tried to drag him into the restaurant.

"Ah--" Just as Ren Hu's palm touched Si Yan, a cold light flashed in the air, and the dagger in Si Yan's hand slashed across Ren Hu's palm, almost cutting off his palm bones.

Ren Hu screamed and blood flowed from his palm, which surprised everyone.

The other guards under Zhen Jun drew their swords and surrounded Si Yan.

"Girl, you are wrong to commit a crime in the street." Zhen Jun looked angry, but there was a smile hidden in his eyes.

This woman actually dared to brandish a knife in front of him, so he had a legitimate reason to arrest her and put her in the Ministry of Justice's prison.

Once they were brought to the Ministry of Justice's prison, the territory of his Zhen family, he would let the woman do whatever she wanted with him.

Ren Hu took a good hit with this knife.
