The next morning, Shen Junxiao was waiting for Xiuying outside the Jaixin Courtyard.

Mrs Feng covered her daughter with her cloak and, seeing that she was completely wrapped up, led her out of the yard.

"Eldest Sister-in-Law." Shen Junxiao saluted to Mrs Feng. Mrs Feng looked at the calm and composed teenager and smiled, "Today, I will have to trouble Third Uncle to take care of this naughty monkey."

Xiuying snickered disapprovingly. She didn't need someone to take care of her.

Out of the corner of his eye, Shen Junxiao noticed her expression. He remained calm and collected as he said to Mrs Feng, "Sister-in-law is too serious with her words. Xiuying is quite obedient."

Mrs Feng didn't believe these words. She pursed her lips and smiled, then poked her daughter's forehead with her finger. It was quite a warning.

Xiuying said goodbye to her mother before being led by Shen Junxiao to the Hanging Flower Sect.

Halfway there, Shen Junxiao suddenly said, "Just now, did you think that Third Uncle wouldn't take care of you, or that he wouldn't be able to take care of you?"

Xiuying did not expect him to see it, and continued to dig into old scores. She blinked her watery eyes and said, "No, that's not it. I don't need anyone to take care of me." Third Uncle usually takes good care of me. "

The girl with the bun said with a serious face. Shen Junxiao could hear the resentment in her voice as he raised his head and gave her a fright.

"I think I take care of you too."

Xiuying feigned pain as she gasped, "Third Uncle, don't knock on my head again. You were the one who knocked on all my bad homework."

Wu Tie raised his hand again. This time, Xiuying was really afraid that he would knock again, so she shrunk her neck back. Unexpectedly, his hand just lightly fell down and caressed her hair, "Third Uncle will definitely take good care of you." What happened in his previous life was something that he wouldn't allow to happen again.

When the youth said this, his expression was extremely solemn. The sunlight fell on his body and covered his handsome face with a layer of gentleness. Xiuying raised her head and looked at him. She actually felt that her Third Uncle was so reassuring.

She felt extremely warm in her heart. Third Uncle had truly taken care of her. Other than her mother, the person she relied on the most was also him.

She subconsciously tightened her grip on the youth's hand and smiled brightly at him: "Then I'll have to trouble you, Third Uncle." In this life, she would live well. She wanted to see Third Uncle get married with her own eyes. In her previous life, this was one of her regrets.

The little girl's smile was brighter than the sun, Shen Junxiao's heavy mood became lighter.

Shen Junxiao agreed to bring Xiuying to ride the horse, but he still ordered someone to prepare a carriage. He didn't know how this delicate girl would get tired. Ping Cui'er, who was serving Xiuying, followed behind in the carriage.

Xiuying could not stop her excitement no matter how long she had lived. She kept stroking the white horse's mane with her small hands. A gentle light flashed across Shen Junxiao's eyes. He put on her hood and said, "It's better for you to hug me. If you start running later, you will be thrown off just by pulling on your mane."

Xiuying, who was wearing a hood, looked even smaller. She was sitting sideways, and if one didn't look at her carefully, they would be able to ignore her.

You want to hug him?

Where? Third Uncle's waist?!

Xiuying pursed her lips and looked at him, while Shen Junxiao also lowered his head. The young master was as handsome and elegant as jade, while Xiuying's ears were burning with excitement.

She couldn't do it, why did it feel like she was taking advantage of Third Uncle.

Shen Junxiao was puzzled. Why was this girl so lost in thought? He pulled the reins on purpose. Xiuying leaned forward. This frightened her. She jumped into Shen Junxiao's arms without thinking and hugged his waist tightly.

Laughter entered her ears, with a calm and powerful heartbeat. She realized that she had been tricked.

She looked up angrily. Shen Junxiao smiled and raised his whip. "Sit tight." The horse began to gallop.

Xiuying's anger at being played with immediately retracted. She held on tightly to Shen Junxiao without any prospects. Hearing the sound of the wind passing by, her heart also started beating rapidly. She liked the feeling of chasing the wind.

Shen Junxiao rode out of the mansion as fast as he could. All the servants in the mansion were shocked as to why San Ye, who usually acted calmly, was not unruly.

For the first time, Xiuying was a little frightened as she rode a horse at full gallop, but she soon became excited. His almond-shaped eyes were wide open as he looked all over the place. Looking at the scenery of the street which was constantly moving backwards, being left far behind, he couldn't stop himself from laughing.

Xiuying thought that they would have to leave the city on their way, but she didn't expect that Shen Junxiao would stop right after leaving the city gate. She stuck her head out of his embrace and asked, "Third Uncle?"

"Waiting for Third Uncle's two classmates."

And even made an appointment?

Xiuying answered with an 'oh' and sat down obediently.

Not long after, the sound of hooves could be heard approaching. Xiuying heard the sound and stopped the four dark horses beside them.

"You even brought a little kid." a voice asked.

Xiuying then glanced over her shoulder. It was a young man carrying a square catty. His face was clear and his eyes were bright. His whole body was exuding the aura of a bookworm. The other was also handsome, wearing an indigo robe, while the other two were riding in attendant's attire.

Shen Junxiao said, "My first niece."

Another youngster took the reins and walked forward two steps. He said in surprise, "It's actually a girl. San Ye, you are truly out of our expectations. "

Wu Tie's seniority was not only in terms of Shen Family, but he was also extremely high among his classmates. Since Master Shen was a Prefect, it was even more difficult for people to call him brother.

Xiuying didn't seem very happy.

What happened to the girl? What happened to Third Uncle when he brought her out? It made her feel like she couldn't see anyone.

Shen Junxiao heard the snort from the person in front of him and found it funny. His two schoolmates had offended this little ancestor.

The three of them exchanged a few words before heading to the southern suburbs.

There was a large area of pear trees at the foot of the mountain in the southern suburbs. The upper reaches of the moat they passed through were also there, and there were a few tributaries that circled around the pear forest. In the spring, the pear blossoms were like snow, making people feel as if they were falling into the sea of clouds.

In less than an hour, the group reached their destination. When Xiuying was carried off the horse, her face was scrunched up. She finally understood why Shen Junxiao said she was so cute.

It was hard to ride a horse for too long.

Her eyes were dizzy and her legs were shaking. Her buttocks were in pain. If he were to sit cross-legged like them, the insides of his legs would probably be worn out.

Shen Junxiao took off her hood and saw her smiling face. The lively little girl that usually ran around had suffered greatly.

As he thought about it, his heart ached. He bent down and carefully observed her expression, "Is it very uncomfortable?" Do you want to vomit? "

Xiuying shook her head. Her two classmates of Third Uncle had surrounded her as well. She did not want to lose face.

Shen Junxiao saw that she was quite tough, so he glanced at his schoolmate. How could he not understand? He rubbed the top of her head with his big palm. 'This little girl already loves face at such a young age? '

Such a suffering character!

Without saying a word, he pulled her into his arms with ease. Xiuying wasn't the only one who was shocked. Zhou Mingyi and Xu Liu were also stunned. Shen Junxiao completely ignored their expressions, "Quickly find a quiet place for us to rest."

Sibao, who was behind Shen Junxiao, went to look for a place.

It was still early. Sibao found a good place beside the stream. When they walked forward, there was a cushion on the ground, with a small person standing in the middle.

While Sibao was thinking about burning the fire to get some tea, Xiuying saw a lot of people coming from not too far away.

Indeed, there were many of them, and they were all guards wearing Cheng Ziyi's clothes, surrounded by a young master.

Xiuying instantly frowned and snuck up behind Shen Junxiao...
