Without apologizing to Sheng Weiqiao, Gongsun Yingdun stood up right away and said nervously, “I'll go!”

Regardless of her illness, Gongsun Yingjiang grasped a robe. While tucking her loose hair and walking out, she said to Sheng Weiqiao, “Aunt, there's an emergency. We'll make an apology to you later. Please stay in the room and don't go out!”

“It's okay. I'll go with you!” Sheng Weiqiao thought it was the infighting, and their uncle came here. She felt surprised and despised him. Why not struggle with Gongsun Su and Sheng Shuihe? He came to bully two juniors!

She would have hesitated if it had happened before that day. After all, she didn't treat the sister and brother as her niece and nephew. She felt insecure in this pirates' lair, so she didn't have enough confidence to help them out. However, since her father was on the island, confident with her father's ability, there was nothing for her to be afraid of!

And now Gongsun Yingjiang persuaded her to stay away; she must not be a coward!

She stood up and held one arm of Gongsun Yingjiang, saying with a slight sneer, “You haven't recovered yet! Just stay here and don't go out! Don't worry. You have been calling me aunt, and today aunt will teach him a lesson!”

Pressing Gongsun Yingjiang back in bed, she smoothed her clothing and fixed her hairpins. Then she walked outward with her head held high. She decided to give a lesson to that “Fifth Master” who bullied the weak and feared the strong and was thick-skinned!

Who knows, stepping out of the door, before seeing their “uncle”, she saw a living black leopard lying in the corridor. With fierce golden eyes, the leopard stared at her without a blink!

Sheng Weiqiao was absolutely stunned!!!

Taking a deep breath, she kept the gesture and quickly glanced at the courtyard. After confirming that Gongsun Yingdun wasn't there, she took a step back and slammed the door shut. Turning against the door, she had a pale face and yelled at Gongsun Yingjiang nervously, “Seriously?! Your uncle took a leopard to block your door! He was intended to kill you. Luckily, Young Master Gongsun's dead body wasn't in the yard. He was smart to run away quickly. Now, we must try out best to be against the door till my father comes to save us!”

“…” Gongsun Yingjiang kept silent for a moment and whispered, “Aunt!”

Sheng Weiqiao looked at her, and it came to her mind that she seemed to be timid. She said slowly to comfort her, “Don't be afraid! Although the leopard is fierce, it is with limited strength and cannot come in!”

Waving her fist, she said lightly, “Even if it comes in, I will protect you! Don't forget that I have killed a bad guy, not to mention a beast!”

“Aunt, the leopard…” Gongsun Yingjiang struggled to say to her, “is actually Fifth Master!”

Seeing Sheng Weiqiao was thunderstruck, she said in a low voice, “Because Youngest Uncle met him on the fifth day of a month, he named it 'Little Five'. Uncle sees him as his brother, so we call him Fifth Master!”

After a long while, seeing Sheng Weiqiao lean on the door with no expressions, Gongsun Yingjiang apologized with worries, “It was our fault. We forgot to explain to you who Fifth Master is! If you are angry, just beat me to vent your anger! Please don't be angry!”

She added, “Yingdun must have gone to find a doctor for Fifth Master. When he comes back, I will tell him to kowtow as an apology!”

“It's alright. I… need some time to calm down!” leaning against the door, Sheng Weiqiao said with hatred. Gongsun Yingjiang thought she was frightened by the leopard, so she kept his mouth shut, afraid to make her feel worse.

She was not aware that Sheng Weiqiao was roaring in mind at the moment!

Again! Caused by that b.a.s.t.a.r.d!

Since Sheng Shuihe entered the family, nothing good had happened to her!

Firstly, her purpose of taking him to the Xuanyu Family hadn't been achieved. Instead, he made a profit. Then, on the way back to Sheng Family, she met Xuanyu Che and was humiliated by him in public. Her mother, Madam Feng, was also involved. Later, on Senior Master Sheng's birthday, she and Sheng Weiwu, her cousin, were locked in the ancestral hall because of him. They were deadly frightened by the mysterious green fire!

When taking a trip to entertain Xu Baomo, the son of a mistress didn't go along. However, Shen Jiuniang and Sheng Weirao were missing somehow, and Han Family caught them!

Later on, she stayed well in Orange Osmanthus Courtyard, but when she woke up, she found herself at sea. Then, she met Young Master Han and arrived at Daimao Island. One lucky thing was that Sheng Lanci eventually came, and he was a shelter for her. Sheng Weiqiao felt that the sky and vast ocean were never as beautiful as they were today!

However, Fifth Master appeared in front of the door unexpectedly!

Sheng Weiqiao felt that Sheng Shuihe must be her bitter enemy in her previous life!

After a while, Sheng Shuihe knocked on the door. The first thing he did was stroking her head. He asked her with a smile, “Are you okay? Did Fifth Brother make you scared?”

“Stay away from me!” Sheng Weiqiao couldn't believe that he was smiling at her! She slapped his hand off her head, and the beautiful eyes that she had were full of anger at the moment. Her snow-white skin turned crimson. “Do you know where it is?! Your niece is still sick. Why did you let him run without any control?! What if he hurts someone? You are not a child, but you still do stupid things? Is your brain useless?!” she growled.

“Sister cared so much for me. I feel extremely flattered.” Sheng Shuihe touched her head again, and she slapped away his hand again. He said with a brighter smile, “Don't worry about them. They have been familiar with Fifth Brother since they were little children. Fifth Brother can perceive human emotions. He came to ask for our help because he couldn't handle some injuries on him.”

While speaking, he kept smiling without a frown. However, Gongsun Yingjiang, secretly standing behind Sheng Weiqiao, trembled once and said with fear, “Little, Little Uncle, I really sent someone to check on him yesterday. He gave Fifth Master a lamb leg, and Fifth Master was perfectly fine at that time!”

Hearing what she said, Sheng Shuihe lifted his head and gave her a casual glance. With the same smile, he said, “Oh? Much appreciated!”

Sheng Weiqiao was so angry that she didn't notice the fear in Gongsun Yingjiang's eyes. She was in a mood to quarrel with him, “You raised that leopard! What did you do as his owner?! You couldn't protect your pet, like a waste!”

Sheng Weiqiao wasn't surprised that he raised a leopard as his pet. Many wealthy families ash.o.r.e raised animals for fun. In the garden of Sheng Family, to make the garden more exuberant and to be played with by family members, animals such as red-crowned cranes, egrets, peac.o.c.ks, lynx, mandarin ducks, and sika deer were raised.

Domestic fowls and wild animals fed by the family were not ferocious, because the family was the latest one to get rich among the three prominent families in Nanfeng County. There had been people who indulged in eating, drinking, and having fun in the family, like Sheng Lansi. His mind was on women now, which took relatively less money.

As for Feng Family, the family of her mother's side, a few generations earlier, a garden was built in the suburban area to raise fierce animals, like elephants, lions, tigers, leopards, bears, etc.

In Sheng Weiqiao's view, it was no big deal to raise a leopard on Daimao Island, but it was a big deal that the leopard scared her badly!!!

But she couldn't admit to being scared of the leopard!

Too proud to admit!

She must vent her anger on Sheng Shuihe!?

When she blew her top, Gongsun Yingjiang felt so scared that her body shrank, and she hoped to hide under the floor. While Sheng Shuihe was staring at her with a smile, Gongsun Yingjiang dared not to remind Sheng Weiqiao. She could do nothing but to pray when Youngest Uncle took his revenge after he couldn't bear accusations of her aunt, that would not get her in trouble!

However, Sheng Shuihe didn't mean to take revenge. Instead, he agreed with Sheng Weiqiao and replied kindly, “You cannot be more right! Little Five saved my life, and I have always seen him as my brother. I called him Fifth Brother since I was a child. Now that my elder brother was aggrieved, shouldn't I claim justice for him?!”

Hearing this, Sheng Weiqiao felt a pain in her chest: again!!!

Though she said something harsh to him, he neither got angry nor refuted. Moreover, he echoed her views. But!

She didn't feel happy at all!

Wouldn't that make one feel more upset and more depressed?

“… Well, why not take action now?!” Sheng Weiqiao clenched her fists, loosened, and clenched again. Finally, she couldn't bear it anymore, jumping up and kicking him with full force. She said furiously, “Why are you in a daze here!?”

Seeing Sheng Shuihe's smile waver after being given a kick, Gongsun Yingjiang covered her eyes.

However, after a while, there were no screams for begging pardon. Gongsun Yingjiang peeped through her fingers with curiosity, and she saw Sheng Shuihe watching the angry girl. All of a sudden, he pinched her cheeks and pulled lightly, “Sweetheart, don't be so fierce. Even if I have been keeping your good image in front of others, your real image will be known by them. What if n.o.body marries you at that time?!”

Sheng Weiqiao struggled to slap his hands away. Tears in eyes, she screamed, “Then I will not get married! I will stay at home and be your enemy all the time! Struggle with you for family wealth and parents' love! Tell father on you every day! Are you scared now?!”

What she just said was Sheng Shuihe's threats to her in the past. Now she returned them to him. Sheng Weiqiao felt much better and a sense of achievement!

Stroking his chin, Sheng Shuihe tried not to laugh, “Well, I'm so scared! It seems that before you return to Sheng Family, I must figure out what to do!”

Hearing that, what happened to Gongsun Yingjiang came to her mind. Her angry face became rigid!

Sheng Shuihe knew what she was thinking, and he didn't continue to tease her. With a brighter smile, he pinched her cheeks again and said, “Now, I will do something for Fifth Brother. Sweetheart, think about what to do next. If you want to apologize, calling me 'brother' is far less enough. More sincere actions should be taken!”

Seeing his back disappear, Gongsun Yingjiang felt relieved. She turned to Sheng Weiqiao. Sheng Weiqiao was frowning with tears in eyes, seeming to be too scared. Gongsun Yingjiang comforted her, “Don't worry. Little Uncle didn't mean what he said. Since your father is on the island now, will he… trick you?”

However, with no mood to listen to her remarks, her throat tightened, “Could you support me to the chair…. Are your Little Uncle's legs made of iron?! My foot hurts!”

At the moment, the silk shoes she was wearing were brought by her maid from Sheng Family, with exquisite artistry, gorgeous embroidery, and a circle of pearls and gold leaves as decorations. However, the shoes should be worn in the courtyard. She gave Sheng Shuihe a hard kick with full force because of anger just now. She had no idea how Sheng Shuihe felt, but she felt that her toes were numb!

Seeing Gongsun Yingjiang try her best to hold smiles, she said with tears, “I know the son of a mistress is my bitter enemy for life!!!”
