With that, Mrs. Shen helped Nan Yurou into the carriage, not allowing Nan Zhijun to say another word. Mrs. Shen and Nan Yurou made a turn in the crowd and were no longer able to find any trace. Nan Zhijun leaned on the railing and looked at the lotus flowers, a faint smile appearing on her face.

Nan Zhijun looked at the scenery in the lake. Sometimes she moved, sometimes she stopped. It was as if Mrs. Shen's departure did not affect her interest. It wasn't long before Nan Zhijun started to feel a little thirsty. As she looked around, she realized that there was no one she knew.

Restraining the smile in her eyes, Nan Zhijun put on a panicked expression and walked back to where there were few people. Unknowingly, she had walked to the side of a tea house set that was by the side of the road. Nan Zhijun looked left and right, her age was still young, her body was small, and the Nan's Estate carriage was far away, so she naturally couldn't see her. However, she was also extremely thirsty, so when she saw the teahouse, she couldn't move a single step.

After a moment's hesitation, Nan Zhijun walked into the tea house and called out, "Have a cup of tea."

With that, Nan Zhijun picked a seat that no one else could sit in. Just as the waiter served the tea, three men dressed in tattered clothes walked in from outside the tea house. As soon as they entered the teahouse, their eyes constantly swept over Nan Zhijun's body. After a moment of concentration, they shot meaningful glances at their two companions. The three of them smiled knowingly as they sat at Nan Zhijun's table. They circled Nan Zhijun, laughing devilishly.

"Is the little lady alone?" The leader leaned forward and smiled obscenely, revealing a row of yellow teeth.

Nan Zhijun's face was filled with panic. She quickly got up and ignored the cup of tea. She kept moving backwards. The three men laughed in unison as they surrounded Nan Zhijun. Three pairs of malicious eyes glanced at Nan Zhijun, while Nan Zhijun's eyes quivered uneasily like a frightened little beast.

The three of them pressed closer and closer, but Nan Zhijun's body was pressed against the corner of the tea house. Seeing that Nan Zhijun had nowhere to run to, the three men exchanged evil glances and laughed even more obscenely. These three people were probably famous local thugs. Even the waiter stood far away and did not dare to step forward, afraid of being caught in the crossfire.

A few of the ladies by the side also felt that something was wrong and quickly paid for their tea before leaving. For a moment, the tea house was empty; not a single customer was in sight. Nan Zhijun bit her lips as tears welled up in her eyes.

"The little lady is very shy." The man on the left laughed. "It's alright. After playing around with my brothers, I can naturally experience many fun things."

The young girl was slightly angry, but her ears were slightly flushed. Seeing this, the men laughed even more wantonly. Just then, someone spoke up from outside. His voice was melodious and refined, "In broad daylight, in broad daylight. Is there anyone who dares to take liberties with a lady from a virtuous family?"

This man had a jade-like face and eyes like stars. It was as if what he saw made him angry, so he frowned and had an unfriendly expression.

The three men exchanged glances, as if they didn't recognize Young Master who suddenly appeared. The leading man turned around and laughed sinisterly, "Which family do you belong to? I'm afraid you've seen too many plays and you've started to think of being a hero to save the beauty. If you dare to come here, I'll make you stand upright and leave right there. "

The young master coldly snorted. He closed the folding fan in his hand and threw it into his sleeve. The three men then shouted in unison and surrounded him. Six fists went straight for the young master's body.

All of a sudden, the small tea house was hit and hit. The young master's attacks were as fast as the wind and as fast as lightning. He guided them to the north while pointing them to the east and west. Although the three men were rampant in their own village, they only had a bit of brute force and were not skilled in combat. They were all defeated by the young master within a few moves.

Suddenly, a man seemed to have had a flash of inspiration and pounced towards Nan Zhijun. Nan Zhijun exclaimed just at the right time. Young Master was quick to react, and his body flickered as he swiftly and incoherently blocked the man's path. He then reached out his hand to push Nan Zhijunao back. Coincidentally, the scented bag that Nan Zhijun had tied around her waist fell off. Before it fell to the ground, the young master reached out to grab it. In his busy state, he didn't forget to smile elegantly at Nan Zhijun.

Nan Zhijun hurriedly lowered her head. Her ears were completely red.

After a short while, the three thugs were moaning and groaning on the ground. The young master stepped forward and kicked the leader heavily, shouting angrily, "Get lost now!"

The three men hurriedly rolled over, gathered together, supported each other as they stood up, and frantically left.

There were already quite a number of people upstream of the Lake of Smoke Ripples. The noise from the tea house was so loud that it attracted quite a few visitors. The young master was handsome, but just now, when he made his move, his skills were obviously not ordinary. The three men who described him as wretched only made him look more like an immortal, and many young women among the tourists blushed as they stared unblinkingly at the young master.

The young master straightened his sleeves but did not leave. He tossed the inconspicuous black scented sachet in his hand and walked towards Nan Zhijun with a gentle expression. "Miss was startled just now."

While he was speaking, a trace of disgust flashed across the young master's eyes. He was a direct descendant of the family of generals after all. Why was he embroidering a scented sachet and not even using good materials? In the end, his father had been born a pawn in the mud, and even his daughter was crude.

As he thought this in his heart, the smile on his face became gentler. He exerted a little more strength in his hand and the scented sachet opened up. The young master smiled and moved closer to his nose, taking a deep breath. His intoxicated expression had yet to fade when it suddenly became incomparably stiff.

It could even be seen that his face had turned green.

The young master was still smiling, but his smile had turned stiff. At this moment, the scent of the scented sachet emanated outwards; it was filled with a terrible stench that filled the air. The scented sachet in the young master's hands didn't seem to be tossed about, neither did it. He could only force a smile and say, "This young lady's scented sachet is truly extraordinary.

Nan Zhijun's face was filled with fear, but she also noticed the Young Noble's awkwardness, so she quickly curtsied and explained, "This humble one thanks Young Noble for acting so righteously, but … However, the medicine contained in this embroidered bag is used to remove the insects and the ants from snakes and mice. The smell is naturally a little stronger.

He put the medicine bag on the table, took out a folding fan from his sleeve, and cupped his hands towards Nan Zhijun: "Since there is nothing else happening here, I will not stay any longer. Goodbye."

Finishing his words, Young Master turned around and left. If it wasn't for the heavy smell coming from his body, his posture would have been carefree and at ease.
