Conan's physique? The Crown Princess is involved in a murder case again

The thank-you gift to the Zeng family was prepared by Chen, while Zeng Tingxue's birthday gift was selected by Xu Xingyin himself.

The calligraphy and painting ornaments are a bit old-fashioned; the gold and silver jewelry are too tacky; and the tonics and elixirs are not very appealing to little girls.

Xu Xingyin racked his brains before he found out that there was a shop selling Western treasures in the east of the city, so he took Dan Feng and went to the shop without stopping.

The location of the shop was a little hard to find. It was far away from the main road and I walked through the alleys of residential houses for a long time before I saw the plaque of "Baoju Pavilion".

Just as the master and servant were about to enter, they were almost knocked over by a man who rushed out from nowhere.

Fortunately, Dan Feng quickly caught Xu Xingyin and no serious incident occurred.

The man who hit the person seemed to have no regard for the person who was hit. He picked up the blue cloth package on the ground in panic and was about to run away, but was caught by a group of people.

The leader was running out of breath, he put his hands on his hips, grunted, and kicked the man.

"Master Shen, why don't you just pay back the money? If you have to make it difficult for us brothers, don't blame us for being rude."

The captured man hugged the package in his hand in panic and shook his head.

"I don't have any money! This thing is not money. If I lose it, my parents will beat me to death!"

"Mr. Shen, what you said is not right. If you borrow so much money, we have to put something as collateral, right? Since you mentioned the elders of your family, there are actually other ways. Your master, mistress, or your eldest brother, they can help you settle the debt with some money. It's not that difficult, right?"

"No, no, no! This must not be known to my parents and brother!"

When the captured man heard this, he struggled frantically as if he had gone mad. He turned his head and saw Xu Xingyin and his servant running away in small steps. His eyes lit up and he stepped forward without warning and grabbed Xu Xingyin.

"Miss Xu Qi! Please help me!"

Hearing that this person could accurately recognize him, Xu Xingyin couldn't help but be stunned. He looked at the man carefully for a few times before he remembered that this was the second son of the Shen family.

"..."

Xu Xingyin pushed Shen Er away awkwardly and quickly took a few steps back.

"Young Master, you may have made a mistake."

"I didn't admit my mistake!"

Shen Er took two steps forward excitedly, "Miss Xu Qi, our marriage has been settled. You will be my wife in the future. If anything happens to me here, what good will it do you?"

After Shen Er said this, he hurried to talk to the person who had just collected the debt.

"Brother Liu, this is my fiancée! She can help me pay back the debt. Don't go to my parents. She has money. She is the daughter of Duke Xu's mansion!"

The last time at the Shen Mansion, Shen Er and Xu Xingyin had met each other only once.

Although he didn't look like a handsome young man at the time, he was still a well-mannered man. I didn't expect him to behave like this in public. It was simply unbelievable!

The man called Brother Liu stopped Xu Xingyin who was about to leave, looked at her with ill intent for a few times, and then smiled.

"You are the daughter of Duke Xu's mansion, but I didn't recognize you. Since our two families are about to become friends, why don't you do us a favor today and settle Mr. Shen's gambling debt? That will be good for everyone, right?"

Xu Xingyin's cheeks turned red with anger, and Dan Feng immediately stepped forward and stood in front of Xu Xingyin.

"Don't bring up my young lady. The marriage between our two families has not been finalized yet. Aren't you afraid of being punished by God for slandering her like this?"

Looking at Dan Feng who was wholeheartedly protecting him, Xu Xingyin couldn't help but sigh.

"What a stupid teammate."

If he had refused to admit it, the debt collectors would have doubted Shen Er's intentions and would have let him go, thus alleviating the threat to him.

Dan Feng is in good shape now. This is equivalent to admitting his identity. I believe that both sides will not let him go easily.

Thinking of this, Xu Xingyin was too lazy to pretend to be stupid with them anymore. He looked up and met Shen Er's gaze.

"Second Master Shen, no matter how poor I am, I will never marry a gambler, so please don't mention the matter of marriage. As for this silver, you can't take a single penny from me today. It can only help in emergencies, not to mention that this is the gambling debt that Second Master Shen owed because he couldn't control himself."

Shen Er was probably driven into a panic by the debt collectors, and his face immediately turned red when he heard what Xu Xingyin said.

"Bah! Xu Qi, what right do you have to look down on me? Everyone knows your reputation of being ignorant and domineering. You are such a disaster star, do you think I can look down on you? Besides, the Zhennan General's Mansion has collapsed, and you are not valued by the Duke in the Xu family. Your life is worse than that of a concubine! If it weren't for the fact that mother has had a long-term friendship with the Duke's wife, she would never agree to welcome you into the mansion and protect you!"

With a slap in the face, Shen Er was stunned for a long time.

The debt collectors nearby were frightened and took two steps back, only to hear the little girl's cold response.

“It’s really an insult to our Zhennan General Mansion to hear someone like you say this.”

Shen Er had been pampered since he was a child and had never suffered such injustice. After he came to his senses, he rushed towards Xu Xingyin, looking like he was going to hit him.

Dan Feng rushed forward to stop him, and shouted in panic: "Help!"

Although Shen Er had never learned martial arts, men were stronger than women after all, so Dan Feng naturally could not stop him.

Dan Feng was knocked to the ground by Shen Er, who grabbed Xu Xingyin's shoulders and pushed him. Xu Xingyin was slammed hard against the hard wall. Before he could even cry out in pain, he saw Shen Er pounce on him with a ferocious face.

"what!"

Just as he closed his eyes in despair, Xu Xingyin heard the man's sharp wail.

When she opened her eyes, she saw Lu Xu standing in front of her with a fierce look on his face, his body straight, while Shen Er was kicked several feet away, holding his chest.

Lu Xu was still wearing the official uniform of the Jinyiwei. The people in front of him had been dealing with the powerful and wealthy for many years, so they naturally recognized Lu Xu's identity at a glance.

The Jinyiwei are not the yamen runners patrolling the streets, so how could they afford to offend them?

As soon as he saw Lu Xu, he immediately ran away on his knees.

Lu Xu tried to run and grab someone, but Xu Xingyin felt severe pain in his back and didn't want to cause trouble, so he quickly grabbed Lu Xu's sleeve.

"Forget it, Ayang."

Xu Xingyin didn't want to pursue the matter, and Lu Xu didn't want to force her. Seeing her frown, he asked with concern, "But where are you hurt?"

"It doesn't matter."

Xu Xingyin shook her head, but Lu Xu grabbed her and walked away without saying anything. They walked into a teahouse and his face turned dark as soon as they sat down.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

As soon as Xu Xingyin saw Lu Xu's expression, he knew that Lu Xu must be very angry today. He did not dare to hide anything and told everything honestly.

Finally, he added aggrievedly, "It was an unexpected disaster. I am so unlucky."
