With legs weak, the sickly stable boy became a mad regent.

Shen Gang's lips trembled even more violently.

"You bully boys and girls in the school using the Shen family's name. Do you think they're afraid of you?"

Shen Nannan snorted coldly.

"What they're afraid of is the Shen family! And my father, who's 'about to die at the border'!"

She emphasized the words "about to die at the border".

Shen Gang was trembling all over, his lips were quivering, and he couldn't utter a single word.

"Your mother sent you back to stand up for her? She certainly knows how to pick people, choosing someone like you..."

She glanced at Shen Gang and smiled.

"waste."

Shen Gang's face turned a deep purplish-red. He wanted to curse, but looking into Shen Nannan's eyes, he swallowed his words.

Those eyes were so cold, they sent chills down his spine.

"Get out," Shen Nannan said.

Shen Gang scrambled away, one hand hanging limply at his side.

Shen Nannan watched his retreating figure and sneered.

"autumn rain."

"exist."

"Go and get a doctor to reattach his hand."

Qiu Yu was taken aback: "Miss, he just insulted you..."

"Continue."

Shen Nannan turned around and walked into the house.

"Connect it and then interrupt it. After interrupting it dozens of times, it will learn its lesson."

Shen Gang staggered to the courtyard gate.

A tall shadow blocked my way.

He was about to start cursing.

Look up

Shen Run stood at the door, his face ashen.

He had just returned from the grain supply area when he heard that Shen Gang was causing trouble at Wutong Courtyard. He rushed over and overheard Shen Gang's last few words.

Shen Gang's legs went weak instantly.

"Big...Big brother..."

Shen Run didn't say anything, walked over, grabbed Shen Gang by the collar, and lifted him up.

Although Shen Gang was short, he was not light at all. Shen Run carried him as if he were a chick.

"What you just did,"

Shen Run's voice was very low, so low it sent chills down one's spine, "What did you say about my sister?"

Shen Gang trembled all over: "Brother, brother, I was wrong, I was really wrong..."

"I asked you what you said about her!"

Shen Gang opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

Shen Run didn't ask any more questions.

I punched him in the face.

Another punch.

Another punch.

The punches landed squarely, leaving Shen Gang's face a bloody mess; even his own mother wouldn't recognize him.

Shen Run kicked him to the ground and then proceeded to beat him up again.

He wasn't a real playboy; his martial arts skills were quite formidable.

"Did I fucking give you the guts?" he cursed as he hit him.

"You dare to cause trouble in my sister's yard? And you even dare to insult her? Who do you think you are? Your mother has been a traitor in the Shen family for twenty years, raising such a good-for-nothing! The Shen family's fortune is yours? You're fucking dreaming!"

Shen Gang was beaten so badly he rolled on the ground, crying until his voice was hoarse.

"Brother, brother, please stop hitting me... I was wrong... I'll never do it again..."

"You won't dare again?" Shen Run kicked him again.

"Why didn't you say you wouldn't dare when you were cursing her? You dare to curse my sister! I think you're tired of living!"

He punched Shen Gang in the face, sending several of Shen Gang's teeth flying, which fell to the ground mixed with blood.

"From today onwards, you get the hell out of the General's Mansion!" Shen Run stood up, panting heavily.

"Go back to your mother's. Don't let me see you again. If I ever see you again, I'll fucking kill you!"

Shen Gang collapsed to the ground, covered in injuries, his hand broken, his face covered in blood, and he didn't even have the strength to cry.

Shen Run turned around and saw Shen Nannan standing under the corridor, her face a little pale, but her eyes were very calm.

Shen Nian was still standing in front of Shen Nannan, her small body ramrod straight.

Her knee was scraped, and blood was flowing down her calf, but she didn't utter a sound.

Shen Nannan looked down at her, then suddenly squatted down, reached out, and gently touched her face.

"Does it hurt?" she asked.

Shen Nian shook her head, her eyes bright: "It doesn't hurt."

"Silly child." Shen Nannan pulled her into her arms and hugged her. "Don't rush so fast in the future. Your older sister is here for you."

Shen Nian buried her face in her shoulder, responded with a muffled sound, tightened her arms, and hugged her neck.

Ah Chao stood aside, watching this scene without saying a word.

"Nannan," Shen Run's voice was hoarse, "Are you alright?"

"It's nothing." Shen Nannan smiled. "Brother, your hand is bleeding."

Shen Run looked down and saw that his knuckles were covered in blood, and he couldn't tell whether it was Shen Gang's or his own.

He shook his hand dismissively: "Just a superficial injury."

He glanced at A-Chao, then at Shen Nannan, wanting to say something, but ultimately swallowed his words.

"You little brat," he said somewhat awkwardly, "protect my sister. I have to take care of something."

Ah Chao bowed his head: "Yes, young master."

Shen Run turned and left.

Shen Nannan stood up and said to Qiu Yu, "Take Shen Nian to get some medicine. Her knee is scraped."

Qiu Yu responded and led Shen Nian away. Shen Nian took two steps and then turned back to look at A Chao.

Ah Chao was also looking at her.

Eyes facing each other.

Shen Nianchong gave him a forced smile.

"Thank you... thank you, Brother A-Chao."

Ah Chao didn't respond.

Shen Nian didn't care and turned to follow Qiu Yu.

The courtyard fell silent.

Shen Nannan stood under the eaves, looking at the bloodstains on the ground, and let out a long sigh.

Ah Chao walked to the broken flowerpot, squatted down, and picked up the orchid.

"Ah Chao? What are you doing?"

He looked at the broken orchid in his hand.

"Does Miss want me to kill him?"

"Pfft!" Shen Nannan almost spat out the tea she had just drunk.

"Ahem, no, no need."

A-Chao lowered his eyes: "It was this servant's oversight."

"You weren't being inconsiderate." She stood up, walked over to him, and gently patted his face.

"You didn't even consider it. You wanted to kill someone just because someone insulted me. Isn't that right?"

He didn't speak, but his silence was the answer.

Shen Nannan looked at him, and her heart suddenly softened.

This person was a powerful regent in his previous life, who could kill without lifting a finger.

He served as her bodyguard for the rest of his life, doing everything himself.

"Alright." She withdrew her hand. "Don't break them next time. Your hands are dirty."

"Then the servant will use his feet?"

Shen Nannan paused for a second, then burst out laughing: "That's enough."

Ah Chao's lips curved into a smile.

Shen Nannan laughed for a while, then suddenly stopped laughing and looked into his eyes: "A-Chao."

"Um."

"Thank you."

He was stunned.

"Thank you for standing up for me," she said softly.

"Although the method was a bit rough, thank you."

Ah Chao looked at her, and the coldness in his eyes gradually melted away, transforming into something else.

"You're welcome, Miss," he said. "My life belongs to you."

Shen Nannan smiled and stood on tiptoe to kiss him on the chin.

"Here's a reward for you."

Ah Chao reached out, grabbed her waist, pulled her into his arms, and leaned down to peck her lips.

"not enough."

"You—uh—"

The words he was about to say were cut off.

Qiu Yu and Linglong looked up at the sky.

The sky is so blue.

Yes, yes, I can't see it, I can't see it...
