The saintess is pregnant, what does that have to do with me, a spoiled brat?

After Xu Zhentian and his son left, the room became quiet.

Xu Nuo rubbed her throbbing temples and looked at the little maid in the emerald green dress who was still kneeling by the bed.

"You can go out now, I want to sleep for a while."

Green Willow paused for a moment, her round face full of astonishment.

"Young master, this servant...this servant usually serves you in the room at night."

Do I have to serve you at night too?

Xu Nuo looked her up and down; she was petite and had a youthful appearance.

Although there are small bumps on her chest, they are still quite cute.

How old are you this year?

"Young master, I am sixteen." Green Willow shrank her neck and muttered softly with her head down.

She thought to herself, "It's fortunate that the young master isn't interested in girls his age."

Otherwise, she would have lost her virginity long ago.

Xu Nuo's head was buzzing.

Sixteen years old?

Although in ancient times, a sixteen-year-old girl was considered an adult.

But Xu Nuo still couldn't quite accept it.

"Get out! Get out now!" Xu Nuo waved his hand, as if shooing away flies.

Green Willow felt as if she had been granted a pardon, and scrambled out of the room, closing the door behind her.

The room was completely quiet.

Xu Nuo let out a long sigh and leaned against the headboard.

The sins committed by the original owner were simply outrageous.

My grandfather was a powerful Duke who held considerable military power. He doted on me and gave me everything I wanted.

This was clearly a perfect hand with a royal flush and four twos, but the original owner managed to turn it into a dead end!

They were murdered and didn't even know who it was.

Xu Nuo moved slightly, and a tearing pain shot through her chest.

With three broken ribs, this body, hollowed out by wine and women, is now extremely weak.

I need to find a way to heal my injury first.

Just as he was contemplating his next situation.

A sudden, burning sensation came from my chest.

Xu Nuo looked down.

A round jade pendant, dark green in color, with a dragon pattern engraved inside.

A red string was tied around her neck, resting quietly against her chest.

He bought this thing for ten yuan at a night market stall in his hometown in his previous life.

The stall owner claimed it was Hetian jade, but he knew in his heart that it was most likely a dyed stone.

But since it looks nice, I'll just wear it as a pendant for fun.

I've worn it for three years and never taken it off.

Why did you come along?

Xu Nuo held the jade pendant in his palm, turning it over and over to examine it.

The texture is smoother and the color is deeper than I remember. The dragon pattern looks alive in the candlelight.

A still-unhealed wound on her fingertip brushed against the jade surface, and a drop of blood seeped into the crevices of the pattern.

next moment.

Dark green light exploded from his palm and seeped into his limbs and bones.

Xu Nuo let out a muffled groan.

The broken ribs cracked inside my body, and the misaligned bones returned to their original positions on their own.

The bruises on the skin faded at a visible rate.

Three breaths later.

The pain disappeared.

Disappeared completely.

Xu Nuo sat up abruptly and clenched her fists.

power.

The power surging from the depths of his bones was so overwhelming that he felt he could punch through the bed.

This body, hollowed out by wine and women, now seems to have been reforged.

"Holy shit..."

Xu Nuo looked at the jade pendant in her hand, her breathing becoming rapid.

Ten yuan.

I bought it for ten dollars in my past life.

Where did this thing come from?

Xu Nuo sensed that this object was not simple and immediately began to study it.

Unfortunately, the promise made that night yielded little result.

……

The capital city, the Shen residence.

The study in the inner courtyard.

Shen Qingyi is widely recognized as the most beautiful woman in the Great Li Kingdom.

Dressed in white, her hair as black as a waterfall.

Her features were exquisite, like those of a celestial being, yet her beautiful eyes held a coldness that kept people at a distance.

She has a tall and slender figure, slim where she should be and curvy where she should be.

"Qingyi..." Shen Wanshan, the head of the Shen family, stood in front of the desk with a cane, his face showing a hint of flattery.

"I just received news that Xu Zhentian is personally bringing that纨绔 (playboy) to our Shen family tomorrow to propose marriage!"

What's your opinion on this?

Shen Qingyi paused slightly as she flipped through the account books, a mocking expression appearing on her beautiful face.

"That piece of trash who couldn't even withstand a single punch from Shen Changqing? Does he even deserve to marry me?"

"That Xu Nuo may be a good-for-nothing, but his grandfather is Xu Zhentian! Our Shen family can't afford to offend him!"

Shen Qingyi gave a cold laugh and slowly closed the account book:

"Can't afford to offend me? Old man, do you really think I'm some kind of young lady from the Shen family?"

"If they dare to come, just send a few servants to deal with them."

"But……"

"There's no 'but' about it," Shen Qingyi interrupted him.

"If he dares to set foot in the Shen residence tomorrow, I will make sure he gets out like a dead dog!"

Shen Wanshan sighed. This young lady had only been in the capital for a short time and had no idea of ​​Xu Zhentian's authority.

Of course, he didn't dare disobey Shen Qingyi, and quickly whispered, "Understood."

……

The next day.

The door was carefully pushed open.

The young maid, Green Willow, carrying a copper basin, moved to the bedside with her head down, barely daring to breathe.

"Young Master, it's time to wash up."

Xu Nuo opened her eyes and sat up.

Green Willow wrung out a hot towel and handed it over with trembling hands.

Xu Nuo took the towel and wiped her face. Looking at the girl's trembling appearance, she found it amusing.

He casually reached out and pinched Green Willow's round, fair face, giving it a gentle tug.

"The craftsmanship is quite good."

Green Willow froze, her cheeks instantly turning red to her ears. Like a startled rabbit, she lowered her head abruptly and stammered:

"It's my duty as a servant..."

Xu Nuo smiled and stopped teasing her.

"Change your clothes."

Half an hour later.

Xu Nuo changed into a dark gold brocade robe with cloud patterns, and a white jade belt around his waist, making him look tall and handsome.

Outside the gate of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.

Xu Nuo mounted a chestnut horse and tugged on the reins.

The sound of horses' hooves clattered as the large group headed straight for the Shen family's residence.

The main street of Beijing is unusually bustling today.

The marriage proposal procession from the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion stretched across half the street, with dozens of red wooden chests adorned with red ribbons and colorful decorations.

Hundreds of heavily armored and armed soldiers followed on both sides, exuding a murderous aura.

This isn't a marriage proposal; it's clearly a raid on their home.

The gates of the Shen residence were tightly shut, and the area outside was crowded with onlookers.

Discussions rose and fell, some criticizing the Xu family for being domineering, while others said that the Xu family, full of loyal martyrs, deserved it.

Xu Nuo rode a tall horse, wearing a dark red brocade robe and a dark green jade pendant around his neck.

After a night of cleansing and invigorating, he was full of energy and exuded vitality.

Xu Zhentian did not come.

The old man's status is too high; if he were to personally intervene, it would truly be an act of annihilation.

Today, the leader of the team is Old Chen, the head butler of the Xu family, an old man in gray who has been with the Xu family for forty years.

It looks ordinary, but it is actually extremely complicated.

The procession stopped in front of the vermilion gate of the Shen residence.

The Shen family didn't even arrange for a servant to greet guests, clearly intending to embarrass the Xu family.

Passersby stopped to watch, wondering how the Xu family would react to the Shen family's ostentatious display.

Xu Nuo touched his chin.

He didn't come here today to actually get married.

The original owner of this body got a beating that broke three of his ribs and even cost him his life. This debt must be settled.

Therefore, revenge is the primary objective.

As for proposing marriage, that's interest that will be charged.

Since the old man is backing her up, Xu Nuo naturally has no objections.

Just kidding, the number one beauty in Dali. Although I've never seen her, that title alone is enough.

Old Chen pulled his hand out of his sleeve and walked to the door.

He raised his foot and kicked it directly into the door.

boom!

The entire street fell silent instantly.

The onlookers were dumbfounded. No one expected that the Xu family would come to propose marriage without even knocking, but instead kicked the door open.

This is hardly a marriage proposal.

They're here to wipe out the whole family!

Old Chen withdrew his foot, dusted off the hem of his long robe, and walked to Xu Nuoma.

"Your Highness," Old Master Chen said calmly.

"Your status is distinguished."

"In the future, if we encounter such ignorant people, we don't need to waste words with them. We just lead our men and sweep them over. Anyone who dares to disobey will be suppressed on the spot."

"Rules are for the weak. In the Xu family, might makes right."

Xu Nuo sat on horseback, listening in a daze.

This old man usually looks kind and gentle, but how come he's more arrogant than a bandit when he goes out?

but……

That's fucking awesome.

"Old Chen is right, I have learned a lot."

There was finally some movement in the Shen family mansion courtyard.

Dozens of guards wielding sticks rushed out, led by Shen Changqing.

That hothead who severely injured the original owner of this body with a single punch last night.

Shen Changqing stared at the collapsed gate, trembling with rage, his spear pointing directly at Xu Nuo on horseback:

"Xu Nuo! You shameless scoundrel!"

"I didn't kill you last night, and you still dare to cause trouble at my Shen family's house today! Do you really think my Shen family has no one left?"

Xu Nuo looked down at him.

Even though I wasn't the one who got hit, since I used someone else's body, I naturally need to demand an explanation.

He doesn't have many good qualities, except that he holds grudges.

Repay kindness with kindness, and avenge wrongs with revenge; you can't afford to suffer a loss.

"Where is Shen Qingyi? Tell her to come out and see me."

Shen Changqing was ignored, and his face turned bright red.

"Besides relying on your grandfather's power, what other abilities do you have?"

"If you're a man, come down and fight me one-on-one!"

"If you lose, get back home and never set foot in the Xu family again!"

Xu Nuo almost burst out laughing.

Has this kid gone crazy from practicing martial arts?

Why fight one-on-one when you can gang up on someone?

"Old Chen."

Old Chen stepped forward from the side.

"This kid is too noisy. Beat him up, but leave him barely alive."

Old Chen turned around and gestured with his chin toward those behind him:

"Let's do it."

A dozen or so fierce soldiers of the Zhenbei Army rushed forward.

Although Shen Changqing was a trained fighter, he was too young and lacked practical experience.

The Zhenbei Army is one of the strongest armies in Dali, and any one of its members is a top-notch fighter.

Therefore, the next scene shows Shen Changqing being beaten unilaterally.

The thugs he brought to guard the house were all pinned to the ground without being able to fight back.

Xu Nuo watched this scene with a smile.

This idiot, does he really think I'm stupid?

"stop!"

Just as Shen Changqing was being beaten half to death, a beautiful figure walked out.

Shen Qingyi, the most talented woman in the Great Li Dynasty and the heir of the Shen family, finally couldn't sit still any longer.
