The person who whipped Shan Yu was a beautiful lady.

She wore a white jade crown on her head and riding boots on her feet, a very simple yet elegant outfit.

Although she was dressed in men’s clothing, her eyebrows were too tender, and you could tell at a glance that she was a fiery cross-dressing girl.

Shan Yu glanced at the burning wounds on the back of his hands, leaned over to pick up the things that had fallen on the ground, and suppressed his temper, prepared not to care.

This girl was born extraordinary at first sight. If her family didn’t have some power, she probably wouldn’t have been able to develop such an arrogant and domineering temperament.

Therefore, for Shan Yu, who was just a commoner at the moment, he could only act on his impulse for a short time, and swallowing his anger was the best choice.

But…

The beauty was in a bad mood today, and she had made up her mind to take it out on Shan Yu.

She waved her hand and raised the second whip. Shan Yu ducked sideways, and the whip hit the pillar. The force of the whip hitting the pillar showed the ruthlessness of the attack.

Shan Yu felt slightly annoyed when he saw the girl in front of him was so unreasonable and looked like she was going to kill him after she hit him.

The beauty was even more annoyed than him, “You bastard! How dare you hide? Go to hell!”

As she spoke, she swung the whip on the ground, found a very tricky angle, and viciously whipped Shan Yu’s crotch, directly aiming to make Shan Yu cut off his bloodline.

Shan Yu did not hide this time. He waved his sleeves and took the whip with strong wind into his palm and pulled it. He said with a cold expression, “Girl, I have already let you go once.”

The beauty was stunned, obviously not expecting Shan Yu to catch her whip, because no matter how she looked at it, this gentleman didn’t seem like he was good at kung fu.

The two of them each held one end of the whip and were in a stalemate when they saw another group of people coming down from upstairs, two of whom Shan Yu knew.

One was an official in Tsing Yi and the other was an old doctor.

These two people had been friends with Shan Yu during the poisonous fish incident. They just nodded when they met. Of course, Shan Yu couldn’t expect them to help him.

Officials protected each other, interests were intertwined, and aristocratic families were connected. No one would offend a powerful noblewoman for a nobody.

Shan Yu had also been a superior class before he traveled through, so he understood.

He was very sensible and didn’t make any random relationships. He just listened quietly to the girl’s temper.

The beauty tugged on the whip in her hand, but it couldn’t be pulled. She opened her mouth and was about to chop off Shan Yu’s head and kill Shan Yu’s nine clan. But the people following her carefully reminded her, “Young lady, they are right behind you.”

The air was still for a moment.

Shan Yu could clearly feel that the beauty relaxed her grip on the whip. She lowered her eyebrows and her head, like a cat soaked in the rain.

The speed of changing faces was comparable to turning the pages of a book.

Shan Yu guessed that there was someone here that the girl was afraid of. He glanced in the direction of the official and the old doctor and noticed a man in black clothes and dark hair.

A self-centered aura, as if he was born to look down on the world.

Shan Yu saw that they were standing in an orderly manner, and everyone present looked in awe of the man in black. He also had an imperial doctor accompanying him, so he must have been an extremely noble person.

Regardless of whether he and this girl were friends or enemies, they were definitely not beings that Shan Yu could provoke.

Knowing the current situation, Shan Yu let go, lowered his eyes, and held his hands toward the beautiful lady who was obviously nervous, and apologized, “Just now, I was just taking things and didn’t notice anyone coming down. It was a little abrupt. I hope the young lady will understand.”

He covered the wound on his palm with his sleeve and never mentioned the girl’s previous rudeness to him. He only took all the blame on himself. While saving the girl’s face, he also made everyone present breathe a sigh of relief.

The beautiful lady immediately saw that Shan Yu was more pleasing to the eye and gave up her intention of causing trouble for him. She hid the bloody whip in her sleeve and asked the attendant beside her to bring a piece of gold to Shan Yu. Somewhat uncomfortably, she said: “Sir… I have a lot of money, so I won’t care about you, a poor… common person. You can take this money as compensation.”

Shan Yu thanked her, and when he bent down to pick up the broken coral necklace on the ground, a faint cold light flashed in his eyes and disappeared in a flash.

A group of people passed each other.

The official in Tsing Yi glanced at Shan Yu, who had a normal expression, and the old doctor stopped.

He took out a porcelain-white medicine bottle from his sleeve and handed it to Shan Yu. He stroked his long beard and asked with a smile, “How are you doing, young man?”

“Thank you, doctor. Everything is fine. How is the old gentleman doing?”

“I’m very good too.”

“In this world, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other. Young people should know that tolerance is a good thing. You don’t have to worry about what happened today.”

After hearing what the old doctor said, Shan Yu also knew that he had almost been in a thunderous problem just now, so he gave a long salute: “Thank you, doctor, for your advice. I will definitely remember this.”

.

The people were not found, so Shan Yu came back angry and with his hands injured.

As soon as Wan Qiu entered the door, he saw Shan Yu leaning on the couch in front of the window, his hands wrapped in gauze with faint blood oozing out.

Little bun was lying on the side, looking at the red hands of his father and crying.

Wan Qiu hurriedly took the little bun, held Shan Yu’s injured hand, looked at it carefully, and said anxiously: “Husband! What’s wrong with your hand? Why is it so injured? How did it happen? Was it a fight?”

His eyes were red, and his distressed look made Shan Yu feel warm in his heart.

“It’s okay, I did it accidentally.” Shan Yu didn’t intend to tell Wan Qiu the truth and make him worry blindly, so he changed the topic and asked, “What did you and Lian Zhou do? Why are you back now? I went to the theater to look for you earlier and did not find you.”

“…Today is the Flower Festival. There is a lantern market in the evening, and a stage is being set up on the long street. Lian Zhou and I looked around.” Wan Qiu looked at Shan Yu’s hand and asked, “Husband, you haven’t said anything yet. How did you get hurt?”

In the end, Shan Yu still fooled Wan Qiu.

When they went shopping for lanterns in the evening, Lian Zhou saw that Shan Yu’s hand was injured. He wanted to ask but didn’t want to talk to him, so he could only ask Wan Qiu.

“Husband said that he was not careful when cutting vegetables…”

“Chopping vegetables?” Lian Zhou laughed after hearing this, “Did he treat you like a fool? Or are you really a fool? Who can cut vegetables with both hands? Do you switch to the right hand after cutting with the left hand? Do you use two knives? One palm and one back, are you stupid?”

Wan Qiu also felt something was wrong, but since Shan Yu didn’t tell him the truth, he had no choice but to humbly ask Lian Zhou: “What do you think?”

Lian Zhou turned around and glanced at Shan Yu and Er Zhu, who were following silently behind him, and snorted: “He is probably in trouble.”

“Ah? What should I do?” Wan Qiu was a little anxious: “I’ll ask again.”

“What can you ask him now?” Lian Zhou pulled Wan Qiu and whispered: “Go back and quietly observe the shape and depth of his wound, and try to ask what caused it. Didn’t he say he went to the theater to see us? Tomorrow we…”

Lian Zhou was only focused on talking to Wan Qiu and not looking at the road. After being hit hard by a man in black, he reflexively wanted to curse, but when he raised his eyes and saw the other person’s face clearly, he was stunned.

Er Zhu hurriedly stepped forward and saw that Lian Zhou’s eyes were full of clear light, as if filled with starlight.
