Seeing this, Shen Ling'er pulled Shen Xiyao and Shen An to the woman.
"This is Mrs. Wu, the concubine taken by her late husband. She is also a poor person. She was lonely and had nowhere to go, so I brought her back with me. These two children were born to Mrs. Wu and are also the flesh and blood of my late husband. They must not be left alone. Outside, the older one is called Zhi'er and the younger one is Jingwen."
Shen Xiyao and Shen An were stunned for a moment. They didn't expect that there would be such a person among the people who came back.
"Guanwen, Xiongwen, you two come over too."
A pair of teenagers got off the third carriage, walked up to Shen Ling'er, bowed and saluted like little adults, and said in unison.
"Mother."
Shen Ling'er helped the two of them up and introduced them.
"These are my two children. The eldest is Guanwen, who is thirteen years old this year. You have all seen him when he was young. The younger one is Xiongwen, who is only ten years old."
After speaking, he pointed to Shen Xiyao and introduced to Mrs. Wu and several children: "This is my niece, your cousin Shen Xiyao."
Five people, one large, four small, and five others saluted quickly.
"I've met Miss Shen."
"I met my cousin."
Shen Xiyao also bowed in return.
After that, Shen Linger introduced the housekeeper Shen An, and the five of them saluted again.
"Aunt, let's go home first. Grandpa is still waiting at home."
"Sir...is he in good health?"
Speaking of Shen Ao, Shen Linger paused and her eye circles began to turn red.
"Grandpa is in good health, aunt doesn't have to worry."
"That's good, that's good."
Shen Ling'er wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, turned around and gave instructions to several children.
"Get in the car, we'll see your grandfather in a while."
Seeing Mrs. Wu's cautious and fearful look, Shen Ling'er comforted her softly.
"Don't worry, my lord is very kind and gentle, and will accept you."
Mrs. Wu nodded slightly nervously, and after putting her children in the car, she cautiously replied.
"It's nothing wrong with the slave family. It doesn't matter if you are a slave or a servant. I'm just worried about the children..."
"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."
Shen Ling'er offered words of comfort.
"Thank you ma'am."
Shen Xiyao, Shen An and others got on their horses, and Shen Linger and others got on the car again and walked out to Luojing City together.
As soon as you enter Luojing City, a tall archway stands at the gate of the city. Silks of various colors are tied into flowers and wrapped around it.
The colorful silk hanging from the corner of the archway swayed gently in the breeze. On several supporting pillars of the archway, there were festive and auspicious peach charms hung. On the end of the pillar, it was written "Mingqing Tower wishes His Majesty a long life without borders". words.
Under the archway, pedestrians, pack horses, and carriages crowded on the street, walking slowly in their respective directions.
The Shen family also slowed down, and several children on the carriage also poked their heads out. Zhi'er and Jingwen forgot their previous restraint, and Guanwen and Xiongwen stopped pretending to be mature and looked at everything in the city curiously.
Shen Xiyao rode her horse to the side of Shen Ling'er's carriage and introduced the events in the city through the carriage window.
"Auntie, this Mingqing Restaurant is the largest restaurant in Luojing City in recent years. It has a wide variety of dishes and the taste is pretty good. They also contributed a small amount to His Majesty's birthday."
Shen Ling'er nodded. Naturally, the other people on the carriage were introduced by people from the Shen family.
Not long after, another archway appeared in front of everyone. Although the style was different, it was equally exquisite and prosperous.
As we walked into the city, there were more and more people on the streets, and the streets gradually became congested. Shen Xiyao could see from her horse that the further away from the group of people, the more excited the onlookers became, and the louder the noise.
The old housekeeper Shen An gave an order, and two servants jumped off their horses and pushed forward to inquire about the situation.
After coming here for a while, the two of them turned back with angry expressions on their faces.
"Miss, housekeeper, someone was making trouble in front of us, so the road was blocked."
Shen Xiyao sat on the horse, looking puzzled, lowering her head to ask.
"What's going on? Didn't the Yamen from Jingzhao Mansion arrive?"
"Miss, not to mention the government officials, the people who are in charge of Jinwu are here, but they don't dare to deal with it."
Luojing City is at the foot of the Emperor. There are countless royal relatives and nobles in the city. Faced with these people with profound backgrounds, the government officials of Jingzhao Mansion are sometimes beyond their capabilities. In order to restrain these nobles, Yang Ke ordered a special establishment Jin Wu patrols the streets every day and doesn't care about other things. Once he discovers that there are officials' sons and nobles who cause trouble, Jin Wu won't give anyone the face of him. Regardless of whether he is right or wrong, he will give him twenty slaps first.
This trick is indeed effective. Those royal relatives and nobles will no longer dare to do evil and oppress the people.
Shen Xiyao sneered twice.
"Who is so bold that he doesn't even dare to attack King Zhi?"
The servant hesitated for a moment and said, "They are... from the mission."
Shen Xiyao frowned.
"Nan Chu Mission?"
That person's name is.
"I'll go take a look ahead."
Shen Xiyao, Shen Linger, and Shen An greeted each other and walked forward with two guards.
After arriving at the place of the accident and seeing the situation, Shen Xiyao's eyebrows were raised and Danfeng's eyes were wide open.
More than a dozen people uniformly dressed in blue shirts formed a circle and protected several noble men in rich clothes. Facing Zhi Jinwu, the Yamen servants of Jingzhao Mansion and many common people, they already drew their swords. The long sword in their hands. Holding King Wu from afar.
The people who led Jinwu were indignant, and several people also showed their weapons. The people who led the team tried their best to restrain themselves and tried to control the development of the matter.
Jing Zhaoyin's government officials could only maintain order and prevent onlookers from getting too close.
There was also a familiar person standing in the field, smiling awkwardly and explaining something to the noble gentlemen.
But those noble gentlemen ignored the man's explanation and continued to laugh and laugh.
In the middle of the field, a pair of baskets fell to the ground, and the tofu in the basket was scattered all over the floor. A young man was pinned to the ground by several generals. Although the young man was pinned down, his head was held high. His head was very high, his eyes were red. He roared in pain and struggled to resist, but to no avail.
A tall, thin man held a pretty young woman in his arms, teasing her with a smile, and groping the woman's body irregularly.
The young woman cried and screamed, trying her best to protect her body with her hands, trying her best to resist the man's frivolity, but it was of no use.
Shen Xiyao glanced around, walked a few steps, picked up a crab apple from a stall on the roadside, and threw it at the tall and thin young man's head.
Begonia fruit was as fast as a meteor and as fast as lightning, exploding on the tall and thin man's head with a "pop" sound. Juice mixed with crushed fruit pulp flowed down from his head. A bump bulged on his forehead at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The tall and thin man also reacted very quickly. He strangled the woman's neck with his arms and huddled behind her, leaving only one eye open to look around.
That eye was full of vicious and violent looks.
When the guards in blue clothes saw that their master was injured, they shrank their protective circle and tightly protected the tall and thin man and several noble men.
Following the direction in which the crabapple fruit flew, everyone's eyes were focused on Shen Xiyao.
Being watched by so many people, Shen Xiyao didn't care and walked towards the field step by step. Everyone along the way automatically gave way. Two guards followed closely behind Shen Xiyao and also walked into the field.
"You dare to hit me?"
The man stroked the bag on his forehead and said bitterly through gritted teeth.
Shen Xiyao ignored him at all. She walked up to the young man who was still pinned to the ground and kicked one of his generals away.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining generals quickly let go of the young man and drew their swords and pointed them at Shen Xiyao.
Shen Xiyao had a cold face and didn't even look at those people. She turned around and walked towards the tall and thin man.
"Someone, stop her."
The tall and thin man shouted while hugging the pretty young woman and taking two steps back.
After receiving the master's instructions, several guards stabbed Shen Xiyao in the back with their long swords.
Shen Xiyao was a little bit at a disadvantage. She came to greet Shen Ling'er today, so she didn't bring any weapons. Seeing the long sword stabbing her, Shen Xiyao turned sideways to avoid the first sword, and raised her palm to cut with the sword. On the guard's wrist, the sword fell to the ground with a clang. Then Shen Xiyao turned the sword into a claw, grabbed the guard's wrist, and threw him to another guard.
The companion hurriedly avoided. At this time, the third guard had also rushed forward. Shen Xiyao didn't wait for him to make a move, raised her leg and kicked the man on the chest, causing the third guard to fly back.
The guard who was avoiding his companion stepped forward and struck with his sword. Shen Xiyao did not retreat but moved forward, dodged in front of the guard, put her palms together like tiles, and slapped the guard on both sides.
The last guard took a few steps back and sat down on the ground.
Shen Xiyao turned around and walked up to the tall and thin man in a few steps.
"Let her go."
The cold tone made people shiver unconsciously.
The tall and thin young man was still hiding behind the young woman, with the corners of his mouth raised little by little, but his narrow eyes, apart from being sinister and cruel, had no smile at all, and instead were filled with greed.
"Oh, Master, I am lucky today! Here comes a more beautiful one. Tsk, tsk, tsk, she is an iceberg beauty. This is more delicious."
Shen Xiyao's pretty face was sullen, her eyes swept over everyone in the room, and she turned her head to look at the familiar person.
"Li Huan, as an official of the Wei Dynasty, the people are being bullied, but you don't stop them. How is this?"
"I……"
Li Huan’s injustice.
"Mr. Li, Honglu Temple wants you to receive us well."
The tall and thin young man also spoke to Li Huan.
"I……"
Li Huan's face turned red and white, and he opened his mouth several times but no words came out. He walked to Shen Xiyao in a few steps and whispered to Shen Xiyao.
"Shen Changshi, the tall and thin young man is named Hu Shichang. He is the deputy envoy of the Nanchu mission. Several others are also envoys of the Nanchu mission. We must not offend him easily."
Shen Xiyao glanced at Li Huan coldly.
"The deputy envoy must also abide by the laws of the Wei Dynasty and rob people's daughters! I don't believe that he would dare to do this in his Chu country?"
The tall and thin man laughed heartily as if he had heard a joke, and turned to the others.
"Everyone, did you hear this? I have never heard this before."
Several people laughed.
One of them said to Shen Xiyao.
"Deputy Envoy Hu is in our Yuhang. As long as he hooks his finger on a woman he likes, she has to follow Master Hu obediently. Why is there any need to rob her?"
