Transmigration: I, the Dragon Overlord, start by protecting my beautiful bride!

Unfortunately, Long Aotian was not some young master from a prestigious family.

If you try to be a rogue, he can be even more of a rogue than you!

Anyway, since he's wearing official robes, if they dare to make a move, Long Aotian can just lie down and be taken down!

"How ridiculous." Long Aotian chuckled, almost bursting out laughing. "You fat, big-eared bastard, don't you even look at yourself? And what does your man look like?"

“If my wife wanted to find another suitable husband, wouldn’t it be as easy as turning her hand? There are so many talented young men in Qianzhou City, why would she need to look for ugly freaks like you?”

"Yes, that makes sense." The onlookers nodded in agreement with what Long Aotian said.

After all, Shen Juanxin's appearance was so stunning that she could topple kingdoms. Even if she were at her worst, her taste wouldn't be so bad as to fall for a pig butcher.

"You...who are you calling fat and big-eared?!" Upon hearing this, Sister Wang instantly lost her composure and took several steps forward, directly confronting Long Aotian.

Long Aotian didn't plan to resist. Anyway, if she dared to touch him, he would definitely extort her entire family's wealth!

"Calm down, you bitch!" Seeing things were about to go wrong, Sister Wang's husband suddenly became very tough and raised his hand to slap Sister Wang across the face!

"Waaaaah~ How dare you hit me! I want a divorce!" Sister Wang was stunned by the beating and cried out that she wanted a divorce.

Her man, however, remained unmoved, bowing respectfully to Long Aotian.

"Chief Inspector Shen, please be magnanimous and forgive my wife. Today's incident was due to my poor discipline. Please inform Miss Shen that I will definitely come to apologize another day." After saying this, the man took out a ten-tael silver ingot from his sleeve and handed it over respectfully.

But before Long Aotian could react, Sister Wang, standing to the side, started causing trouble again. She snatched the silver ingot from her husband's hand and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Well, you corrupt official! You spend your days indulging in drinking, gambling, and whoring, while your vixen wife comes out to seduce other men!"

After saying that, she turned around and said to her husband, "Ding, is this your payment for prostitution? Otherwise, what kind of clothes could be worth ten taels of silver?! You even dared to hit me? I'm going to take this to the authorities today and let everyone know about you two!"

"Fellow villagers, as you all know, this Lord Shen Congxin spends his days indulging in drinking, gambling, and whoring. Whether he would make his wife do something shameful for money is still unknown!" Sister Wang was very smug, feeling that she had discovered the truth.

Normally, she wouldn't dare to challenge an official, but her family was in the west of the city and did have some influence.

Her father, Butcher Wang, was the number one butcher in Qianzhou City. He owned a pig farm and employed more than a dozen butchers. How could she not be arrogant?

Moreover, everyone in Qianzhou City knows that Shen Congxin is going to be kicked out of the Zhenye Division. They don't have a high opinion of him, a guy who usually indulges in drinking, gambling, and whoring, and whose character is extremely bad!

“Yes, Lord Shen, isn’t what Sister Wang said true?” Suddenly, someone boldly spoke up from the crowd.

"Money?" Long Aotian sneered. "Money is nothing to me!"

He pulled out the money pouch he had borrowed from Wen Xiaolang the day before, and then called out to the courtyard gate, "Wife."

With a creak, Shen Juanxin's eyes reddened, and tears welled up in her eyes.

This touching scene captivated all the men who saw it, making their eyes widen and their hearts race!

"Isn't this money?" Long Aotian opened the money bag, revealing gleaming silver ingots. He then handed the heavy bag of silver to Shen Juanxin, took her hand, and said loudly, "From today onwards, I, Shen Congxin, hereby declare! You may criticize me as you please."

His tone suddenly rose: "But if I find out anyone has slandered or defamed my wife, I, Shen Congxin, will never let them get away with it!"

His words silenced everyone around him, and his powerful aura and direct, forceful approach made the guilty Sister Wang lose face completely. Everyone pointed and whispered among themselves, criticizing her for being delusional and telling her to take a good look in the mirror.

"Weren't you a little too flamboyant today?" Shen Juanxin was deeply moved by Long Aotian's actions in standing up for her, but she still said with some concern, "It's really not worth it for a woman like me..."

“They’re right, my father is indeed…”

"What does it matter?" Long Aotian interrupted her, gently embracing her and comforting her, "I'm willing to marry you, so I'm not afraid of what they say. You are my wife, Shen Congxin's wife. No matter what your family is like, or what the world says about you, I will still treat you well. Because in my heart, I have already chosen you."

Upon hearing this, Shen Congxin stared blankly at Long Aotian, never expecting her to say such a thing.

Unable to suppress her emotions any longer, she threw herself into Long Aotian's arms and began to sob softly once more.

The reason she married Shen Congxin was that Shen Congxin and the then-living head of the Shen family were old friends.

The main reason was that, apart from Shen Congxin, no one dared to marry her.

Because the head of the Shen family, as an official appointed by the imperial court, knowingly broke the law, not only being greedy but also taking lives.

In the city of Qianzhou at that time, he was a notorious corrupt official who was universally reviled. Anyone who dared to marry his daughter would undoubtedly become the target of scorn.

Perhaps only someone like Shen Congxin, whose reputation was already bad, could marry her without incurring public wrath...

Because they saw that Shen Congxin was not doing well after marrying him, they naturally felt more comfortable...

People are always like this, selfish and self-interested.

After calming his wife down, Long Aotian rushed to the Zhenye Division without stopping.

Although he really wanted to cause trouble for Sister Wang and her husband, he wasn't that stupid. His immediate priority was to meet his performance targets.

"Beichuan? Beichuan?"

"My lord, why are you only arriving now?" When Long Aotian arrived, Jiang Beichuan had already been waiting for him at the Zhenye Division for quite some time.

"I... ran into some trouble on the way." Long Aotian briefly explained his encounter with Sister Wang and her husband.

"What?! How could they be so shameless!" Jiang Beichuan clenched his fist in anger. "Don't worry, sir, I will definitely find a chance to teach them a lesson for you!"

Long Aotian didn't think the matter was urgent, so he didn't take it too seriously, assuming it was just a casual remark.

"Do you have any leads on that theft case?"

“My lord…” Jiang Bei looked troubled upon hearing this, “I have only recently joined the Zhenye Division and do not yet know much about investigating cases…”

"But I do think that with such frequent thefts, and each time the stolen items being different, it might be the work of multiple people." After he finished speaking, he immediately added, "These are just my guesses, please don't laugh at me, sir..."
