Zhen Jun stared at Si Yan intently. If this woman didn't have any background in Shangjing City, she would never dare to bully him.

"I won't tell you..." Si Yan chuckled and turned to look at the shopkeeper selling osmanthus cakes behind him, "Uncle, are the new osmanthus cakes ready? If they are, I want two more bags."

"Done, done." The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly. The girl had been dealing with Zhen Jun and his group of bullies for more than half an hour.

"I'll pack it for you right away." The shopkeeper was overjoyed and looked at Si Yan with a smile in his eyes.

Over the years, the people of Shangjing City have suffered so much from Zhen Jun, and today someone finally vented their anger.

"Thank you, old man." Si Yan smiled without even looking at the people behind him.

When the people saw Si Yan being so domineering, they knew that this girl must be from an extraordinary family, but they didn’t know from which family she came.

There were a few sharp-eyed people who noticed a carriage parked nearby, but the carriage was not luxurious and therefore did not attract much attention.

Just then, there was a sound of orderly footsteps on the street, and the guards patrolling the city of Beijing arrived.

"Make way, make way!" shouted the two leading guards.

The people made way for them, and the sword-wielding guards from the capital went straight to the door of the pastry shop.

Si Yan had just picked up the pastries and was about to leave when he saw the guard leader followed by Ling Mohan, surrounding the scene.

"What's going on? What happened?" Feng Yu glanced at the group of people lying on the ground and Zhen Jun who was in a mess, and asked in a serious tone.

Seeing Feng Yu, Zhen Jun was immediately furious: "Commander Feng, is this how you patrol the city? This woman is committing a crime in Shangjing City, are you going to do anything about it or not?"

Feng Yu walked forward calmly and looked at Zhen Jun. "Mr. Zhen, I'm so sorry. I just had something happen in the north of the city, and I rushed over after I finished dealing with it. Are you injured? Is it serious? Do you need medical attention?"

"What medical treatment?" Zhen Jun pointed at Si Yan angrily, "I want you to arrest this murderous woman."

"Sure, sure." Feng Yu nodded to Zhen Jun and walked over to Si Yan, as if he had just recognized her. "Oh, Miss Si, you're here too?"

After he finished speaking, Feng Yu bowed respectfully to Si Yan.

Feng Yu was ordered to welcome the soldiers returning to the court this morning and met Si Yan at the Changting Pavilion outside the capital.

At that time, he felt that the daughter of Situ was heroic. He did not expect that on the first day after returning, Miss Si would deal with Zhen Jun. It was really refreshing.

"What did you say? What Miss Si?" Zhen Jun frowned and looked at Si Yan.

The only powerful person with the surname Si in the capital is Situ Si Zhengxuan. Could it be that this woman is from the Situ Mansion?

Feng Yu raised his eyes and looked at Zhen Jun: "Huh? Master Zhen, don't you know? This is none other than Master Situ's daughter, Miss Si Yan!"

"What? Situ's daughter, Si Yan?" Zhen Jun suddenly felt confused.

This woman is the one that has been mentioned everywhere in the aristocratic circles in the capital recently. She was first betrothed to Prince Xin, and then changed to the daughter of Prince Yong's prime minister, Si Yan?

"It's my daughter." As soon as Si Yan opened his mouth, the people in the capital were immediately excited.

Lord Situ loved the people like his own children and was deeply loved by the people. Lord Situ's eldest son, General Si Qingshan, fought on the frontier battlefield, defended his country, and made great contributions to Daxuan.

Now, Lord Situ's daughter is in the capital, enforcing justice and dealing with the bully Zhen Jun.

Sir Situ is truly a father of tigers and sons of dogs! One son and one daughter, both are so outstanding!

Zhen Jun tried his best to calm down, and it took him a while to sort out his emotions.

"Even if she is Situ's daughter, she cannot escape punishment for committing a crime in public. Commander Feng, according to the laws of Daxuan, Si Yan should be arrested and punished."

Feng Yu glanced at Zhen Jun and spoke calmly, "Master Zhen, I haven't figured out the truth of the matter yet. If you really want to hold me accountable, you and Miss Si must go to the Xuanwei Mansion together to confront me."

Zhen Jun's face was immediately filled with anger. "Si Yan committed a crime in the street, and he wanted me to join him? Commander Feng should just arrest the perpetrator."

Feng Yu said in a businesslike manner, "This matter involves the children of two high-ranking officials of our dynasty. I dare not deal with it rashly. I can only report this to Your Majesty and wait for your decision."

"Are you trying to protect Situ's daughter?"

"I dare not!" Feng Yu said sternly, "I am only enforcing the law impartially. Young Master Zhen and Miss Si have clashed, and this matter is of no small importance. Either Young Master Zhen and Miss Si each take a step back and not pursue the matter further, and let this matter rest. Otherwise, you two will wait for this young master to report to His Majesty for a ruling."

Zhen Jun's cheeks twitched with anger. "Enforce the law impartially? Your late arrival has already violated the laws of Daxuan."

"Mr. Zhen, if you feel that I have failed in my duties, you may report me to the authorities."

"Seal the island!" Zhen Jun shouted angrily, his whole body shaking with anger.

"Yan'er, you came to buy some cakes. Why haven't you come back yet?" Just then, Si Zhengxuan lifted the curtain of the carriage and revealed his face.

Si Qingshan jumped down from the carriage and said to Si Yan, "Hurry up, little sister! My father and I have been waiting for you in the carriage for a long time."

Seeing Si Qingshan, Zhen Jun frowned: "Who is this man?"

"Master Zhen, don't you recognize him?" Feng Yu said with some surprise, "This is Lord Situ's eldest son, General Si Qingshan."

"Si Qingshan!"

Zhen Jun and Ren Hu, whose mouth was full of blood, couldn't help but widen their eyes. Was this woman playing tricks on them?

Didn’t she say she didn’t know this guy?

Si Yan raised his eyes and looked at Si Zhengxuan: "Father, something happened here. I'll explain it to Commander Feng..."

"No need, just come back."

Si Zhengxuan looked up at his daughter, then turned to Feng Yu and said, "Commander Feng, there's no need for you to intervene in this matter. Someone dared to touch my daughter, Si Zhengxuan. Not having his hands or feet broken is already a light punishment..."

Feng Yu looked troubled. "Master Situ, Miss Si and Master Zhen are having a quarrel. If this gets to His Majesty..."

"I, Situ, will carry it." Si Zhengxuan said softly and pulled down the curtain of the carriage.

Si Yan raised his eyes to glance at Ling Mohan, only to see him looking at him. He could not help but walk towards him: "Have you eaten? Grab some cakes to fill your stomach."

Ling Mohan looked at the little girl in front of him, feeling helpless. Seeing that she had already taken it out, he reached out to take it.

"His Majesty may summon you in two days, so be prepared."

Ling Mohan was slightly stunned. Before he could speak, Si Yan said, "Perform well. You are more than just a small guard in Shangjing City."

"Ayan..."

"My father is calling me. I have to leave. See you later." Si Yan spoke to Ling Mohan openly, gave Ling Mohan some pastries, and left openly.

She walked to the front of the carriage and turned back to smile at Zhen Jun: "Mr. Zhen, see you next time at Yayue Pavilion Restaurant."

Zhen Jun was furious: "Just wait! I'll have my father report this to His Majesty..."

"See you in front of His Majesty." Si Yan smiled lightly and jumped into the carriage.

This inconspicuous carriage slowly and leisurely left in front of everyone's sight.

Zhen Jun discovered that this woman had been playing tricks on him from the beginning to the end, and Si Zhengxuan was still condoning her. He almost fainted from anger.

"Master, son..."

"If I don't avenge this, I, Zhen Jun, will not be a human being!" Zhen Jun clenched his fists and roared at the departing carriage.

Ling Mohan looked at the pastry in his hand, gave a piece to Feng Yu, and took a piece and put it in his mouth.

"Where's ours?" The brother next to him leaned over.

Ling Mohan smiled slightly, protecting the few pieces of osmanthus cake in his hand: "I bought it for the brothers to eat."

After he finished speaking, he asked the shopkeeper to pack a bag and distribute it to the brothers. The guards started eating while chatting and laughing.

Ling Mohan looked up at the carriage. This girl doesn't like pastries, so buying so many must be for someone else.

Ling Mohan turned around and saw Zhen Jun looking at him as if he were a ghost. He couldn't help but ask, "Master Zhen, do you want to eat more? Didn't you have enough just now?"

Zhen Jun was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood.
