Just when Shen Wu's hand was about to touch Shen Yue's back, a man's voice suddenly came from behind, "Sister Shen Yue, why are you sitting by the water? Be careful."

Shen Wu was so frightened that he quickly retracted his hand. Shen Yue also turned her head and looked at Shen Wu in surprise.

"Sister, why are you here?" She was so lost in thought just now that she didn't realize Shen Wu was coming.

Shen Yue stood up and saluted Shen Wu. Then he looked behind Shen Wu and greeted with a smile, "Brother Yunzhou."

Shen Yue's smile made Shen Wu frown. Why could Shen Yue still smile here after her sister died? Why wasn't Shen Yue the one who died?

Shen Wu glanced at Shen Yue disdainfully.

"Did Third Sister meet with Young Master Li Si to talk here? An unmarried girl should be more reserved and not bring shame to the family."

Shen Yue was filled with shame and anger at Shen Wu's two words. What does it mean to be embarrassed? She hasn't done anything shameful with anyone.

"Sister, what you said is so unpleasant. Why am I not reserved anymore?"

Li Yunzhou took two steps forward, then continued Shen Yue's words and said, "Is the Crown Princess insinuating on me? Then why don't we go to the Shen family and talk to the elders."

"Also, the Crown Princess, could you please explain what you were doing just now?"

He saw clearly just now that Shen Wu wanted to push Shen Yue down. If he hadn't happened to pass by and shouted, Shen Yue would have fallen into the water.

By then, no one nearby would notice it in time. If one mistake was made, Shen Yue would die.

Shen Wu didn't want to have an argument with Li Yunzhou. After all, today was the day when the Shen and Li families were getting married, and it would be ugly if there was a big quarrel. She heard that Princess Yongjia treated the illegitimate fourth young master as her own son, so she didn't want to offend him.

Then he glared at Shen Yue and left with the help of the maid.

After Shen Wu left, Li Yunzhou walked up to Shen Yue and asked, "Why are you here alone, waiting for me?"

Li Yunzhou was terrified when he thought of Shen Wu's hands just now. Fortunately, he heard someone accidentally mention that Shen Yue was here, so he walked over as if possessed.

Shen Yue didn't know that she almost fell into the water, so she sat down on the stone slab beside the waterside pavilion again, "I only brought Qiutong with me, and I just told her to get fish food."

Li Yunzhou also sat down next to Shen Yue and said disapprovingly: "There are many people in the house these days. You should bring more people with you. And this eldest lady of the Shen family, please be more careful in the future."

Afraid that Shen Yue wouldn't take it seriously, Li Yunzhou still told Shen Yue what happened just now.

Shen Yue's heart skipped a beat, but she wasn't surprised. Shen Ying is dead, Chen and Shen Wu must hate her to death.

She did not regret her decision that day, but after all, it was a human life, and she could not remain indifferent.

"Brother Yunzhou, do you think that if someone wants to harm you, should you fight back in kind? Or should you endure the calm for a while?"

She didn't dare to make it too clear. It involved the affairs of the Shen family's inner house and Su Qingyu.

Li Yunzhou didn't know why Shen Yue asked that. Was he being bullied? Li Yunzhou felt a dull pain in his heart at the thought of Shen Yue being bullied.

"How about tit for tat?" Li Yunzhou said.

Shen Yue was startled, so did she do something wrong?

Li Yunzhou continued to say: "I should fight back ten times or a hundred times." Then he turned to Shen Yue and asked softly, "Why do you ask that? Who bullied you? Tell me."

There was a dim light in Mingming's eyes, and he spoke the softest words again.

Shen Yue shook her head, "I just asked. I saw it in the storybook, but I didn't understand it for a while."

She didn't dare to say a word. The Shen family's affairs were such a big fuss. If she said a few words, Li Yunzhou would probably be able to guess the clues.

Li Yunzhou looked at Shen Yue inquiringly, not knowing if she didn't want to say anything or if she really just asked casually.

"If someone really bullies you, you don't have to endure it. Just tell me, I..."

Speaking of this, Li Yunzhou paused for a moment.

What can he do?

Shen Yue was also born in a concubine's house, and it was not easy to live under the nose of her aunt. But he seemed to be unable to do anything. He couldn't interfere in the Shen family's affairs, let alone have any say in Shen Yue's affairs.

Li Yunzhou felt a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart, and he stopped mid-sentence.

Shen Yue's heart palpitated because of the first half of Li Yunzhou's words. But after waiting for a long time, I didn't wait for the second half of the sentence.

"Brother Yunzhou, why didn't you say anything?"

Li Yunzhou lowered his eyes lonely, "It's nothing. If someone bullies you, remember to tell me."

But there was another ripple in my heart. If one day, he could stand beside her legitimately, he would definitely protect her.

Not long after, Qiutong came over with fish food. Shen Yue and Li Yunzhou each grabbed a handful and chatted while feeding the fish.

Later, Qiu Tong thought it was not good for Shen Yue and Li Yunzhou to stay alone here all the time, so she reminded them in a low voice. Shen Yue then realized that the two of them had been sitting here for more than an hour.

She stood up and said to Li Yunzhou apologetically: "Brother Yunzhou, I'm going to see my grandmother, so I won't accompany you."

The two walked around the rockery and walked out one after the other. They happened to meet Zhang Pan, the Marquis of Xuanwu, who came to drink the wedding wine.

Zhang Pan subconsciously tightened his lips when he saw Shen Yue and Li Yunzhou coming out from behind the rockery one after another.

Shen Yue bowed and said, "Hello, Lord Marquis."

After seeing the ceremony, Shen Yue crossed over to Zhang Pan and left.

Li Yunzhou also wanted to leave. The people who saw him off had finished their wedding wine and it was time to go back.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Zhang Pan glanced at him sideways and said, "Why are you everywhere? Do you have ulterior motives?"

Li Yunzhou had already passed Zhang Pan, and stopped when he heard what he said.

"Didn't Mr. Marquis get enough beating last time?"

Zhang Pan's expression froze. The last time he was beaten was the last thing he wanted to mention. He was also puzzled as to why he had never beaten Li Yunzhou even though he had been carefully taught by his family since childhood.

Li Yunzhou took two steps back, patted Zhang Pan on the shoulder, and said jokingly, "Don't be discouraged, little Marquis. If you practice for two more years, you may be able to pass."

After thinking for a while, he added, "Don't forget we agreed that if you lose, you can no longer pester Sister Shen Yue."

Zhang Pan did not respond to Li Yunzhou's words, but said something when Li Yunzhou raised his foot again.

"you like her."
