Chapter 143 The Loyal Guardian of Bai Yueguang Jin 18
Having said this, Shi Qing stopped talking.
Xue Zhao was born in the market, so he could naturally understand the hardships of a difficult life.
The three of them, each with their own thoughts, came to the wall of the prime minister's residence. As usual, Xue Zhao jumped up first and then pulled Qiuyue up.
Qiuyue climbed down the wall skillfully and landed successfully in the corner of the rockery in the back garden.
As soon as she landed, a servant hiding not far away winked at the person next to him, and the other person understood, crouched back, and ran towards the prime minister's courtyard.
Shi Qing held Xue Zhao's hand, jumped steadily and squatted on the top of the wall.
Xue Zhao jumped down first, raised his head, and opened his arms towards the people on the wall.
The girl smiled sweetly, jumped down from the wall lightly, and was safely held in his strong arms.
Xue Zhao gently put her on the ground and straightened Shi Qing's clothes, with a clear smile on his face all the time.
The man squatting in the corner was so shocked when he saw this scene that his eyes almost fell out.
As the three of them walked out of the rockery, they ran into the aggressive Shen Wenbo.
Shi Qing was surprised for a moment, "Dad, why are you here?"
Shen Wenbo's eyes were sharp, and his voice was filled with the aura of impending storm. He said calmly, "Come to my study."
Shi Qing had a premonition of what was to come, and followed him calmly.
Faced with this situation, Xue Zhao felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart, and he couldn't help but take a step forward.
However, the guard who came with Shen Wenbo raised his hand to stop him, saying in a cold voice: "Xue Zhao, your way is this way."
He raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the gate.
Qiuyue was also taken away by the two men. She was shocked and said, "Miss!"
Hearing the noise behind him, Shi Qing turned around and said, "Dad, let them go."
Shen Wenbo's expression remained unchanged, his deep eyes exuding a sense of oppression, "Don't worry, nothing will happen to them."
Shi Qing was well aware of his temper and methods. The more he went against her, the more cruel Shen Wenbo became.
As a last resort, Shi Qing surrendered and followed him away.
Xue Zhao watched her back intently, a chill running through his heart, and he felt vaguely uneasy about what was going to happen next.

Shen Wenbo stepped across the threshold with his hands behind his back, "Close the door."
Shi Qing turned around and closed the door.
The door closed with a slight sound.
"Bastard, kneel down!" Shen Wenbo turned sideways and shouted angrily.
His thick gray eyebrows were raised high, his deep black eyes were wide open with anger, under his slightly curved nose was his beard trembling with anger, and his dark lips were twitching tightly, as if he was suppressing his tremendous rage.
Shi Qing stood up straight, met his burning gaze without fear, and spoke in a clear and firm voice:
"I wonder why dad wants his daughter to kneel down?"
Seeing that she still refused to admit it, Shen Wenbo's facial muscles twitched and he laughed angrily, "Okay, okay, I'll explain it to you clearly today."
"Let me ask you, do you know what day it is today?"
Shi Qing's face remained unchanged, "October 9th"
"Didn't your mother tell you that the Su family would come back today to discuss your marriage with Su Lanqing?"
"My daughter knows."
"Since you know this, why do you still want to leave the house? Do you know how the Su family will look at us if you do this? Will they say that our Shen family is not good at educating their daughter and is arrogant?"
Shi Qing was silent for a while, then raised his eyes and said, "Dad, I don't like Su Lanqing."
"Don't like it?" Shen Wenbo sneered, "The Su family has a strict family tradition, and Su Lanqing is a young talent with a gentle personality. If you marry her, you will live a life of luxury and wealth. What are you dissatisfied with?"
Shi Qing's eyes were clear as she retorted: "No matter how good he is, he is not the one I love."
I don't know which word irritated Shen Wenbo. As soon as he finished speaking, he threw his hands away and shouted angrily: "Who taught you to say such shameless words!"
"Snapped--"
The temporary peace was broken by the sound of a slap in the air.
Shi Qing's face was suddenly slapped to the left, and a clear palm print was soon left on her right cheek. The loose hair on her forehead fell down, obscuring all her expressions.
Shen Wenbo seemed to be stunned for a moment, and said in a cold voice: "It's your parents' order and the matchmaker's words. Would we harm you?"
Shi Qing slowly turned his head, his eyes filled with stubbornness, and said word by word: "But my daughter doesn't want to."
Shen Wenbo glared at him, "You don't want to? Humph, I think you were drugged by that lowly guard."
Shen Wenbo felt the rage in his heart bursting out. He threw an object from the desk to the ground, making a sharp bang.
Shi Qing lowered his eyebrows and looked over. There was a dagger with a black handle lying on the ground. The word "Xue" engraved on the blade was clearly visible under the light.
That was the dagger she kept in the cupboard.
"Nothing to say?" Shen Wenbo looked at her disdainfully, his wrinkled eyes showing naked anger, "You are a rich lady, but you are secretly having sex with a lowly guard. If people find out, do you still have any shame?"
If Aunt Zhao hadn't come to tell him in the afternoon, he wouldn't have discovered this.
Shi Qing squatted down, picked up the dagger, wiped it and put it back into the scabbard, and said calmly: "Xue Zhao is not lowly."
Shen Wenbo watched her actions coldly, "I think you are crazy."
"Dad, do you have to make it so clear?" Shi Qing held the sheathed dagger in his hand and looked at Shen Wenbo steadily.
"You are so anxious to have me marry into the Su family, isn't it because of your own career and the interests between you two? And does Su Lanqing really want to marry me? Don't you really know all this?"
For the Yellow River bursting its banks, Shen Wenbo should have been exiled by the emperor, but he pushed the blame onto others, and the imperial censor even confirmed his "innocence."
Her marriage was nothing but a deformed child born of so-called human relationships and worldly wisdom.
"Dad knows it all in his heart, so why bother to put it in such nice words?"
Shen Wenbo didn't expect that she knew all these things. His eyes suddenly became grim. "Where did you hear these rumors?"
Shi Qing laughed at himself, "All the assassins who were chasing me said so."
She complained in her heart, thinking that the assassin had already been locked up, so it would be okay to take the blame.
Shen Wenbo put one hand behind his back and walked around, his eyes moving like an old fox, glancing sideways at Shi Qing who was standing in front of him.
After a long time, he stroked his beard, his narrowed eyes revealed a cold light, and a sneer came out of his dry mouth.
"This marriage is a done deal. You have no right to resist."
"If you listen to me, I will let Qiuyue and Xue Zhao go. If you dare to cause any other trouble, don't blame me for selling Qiuyue out."
Shi Qing's heart trembled, and his face was expressionless, "Of course I can't compare to you."
"Come here, take the young lady to the ancestral hall and don't let her take a single step out of it within three days!"
Hearing this, the two guards guarding outside pushed the door open and stood on Shi Qing's left and right.
"Second Miss, please."
Shi Qing paused, then walked out resolutely.
