On the fourth day, he was about to speak again when he saw two Imperial Guards pushing through the crowd and walking quickly towards him.

The alley was completely blocked. When the patrol officers passed by, they came over to deal with the situation, thinking that someone was causing trouble. However, they did not expect that it was actually a husband and wife fighting each other.

Shen Cang's face was covered in scratches, as if he had been scratched by a cat.

There were still bite marks on his hands from Madam Shen.

In contrast, Madam Shen had a black eye, blood seeping from the corner of her mouth, her hairpins and ornaments scattered on the ground, and her disheveled appearance made her look no different from a madwoman.

After the Imperial Guards separated the two, Jiang Wan immediately rushed to Shen Cang's side, taking a handkerchief to wipe the bloodstains from his face: "Husband, are you alright?"

Upon seeing this, Madam Shen immediately rushed forward again, shouting, "Get those claws off me!"

Jiang Wan seemed startled by her actions and shrank back behind Shen Cang.

Shen Cang was already furious and hadn't regained her senses yet. Seeing this, she became even angrier and said, "Look at you! Where is even a trace of the demeanor of a matriarch!"

Madam Shen, not one to tolerate his behavior, immediately retorted, "You're so great! You're all I'm good for!"

"Take a look at your own damned son first."

"Don't you have a mirror yet? Haven't you peed?"

"You have the nerve to talk about me like that? Bah!"

These words were absolutely offensive, but she had already hit him, so why should she care about a few harsh words?

Shen Cang realized he couldn't out-argue her, and his hands trembled with anger. He said to one of the Imperial Guards, "Officers, arrest this crazy woman immediately! She's trespassing and has violated the laws of our Great Zhou!"

These words caused an uproar!

Even if Shen Cang had hit Madam Shen, it would have only made him a laughingstock, but it wouldn't be entirely true that he was completely wrong.

But for him to send the Imperial Guards to arrest his own wife because of a mistress is rather inhuman.

He regretted it as soon as he said it.

He thought to himself, "It's all because of this crazy woman. She made me so angry that I blurted out something."

Once the words are spoken, it's difficult to take them back as if nothing happened.

Fortunately, at the crucial moment, Jiang Wan gave him a way out, advising, "No matter how angry you are, you can't use this to scare your sister."

"Besides, we are all one family, so how can you say it's 'trespassing'?"

"My sister is so noble, yet she treads this humble path. I'm more than happy to welcome her with open arms."

Having been given this "scare tactic" as a way out, Shen Cang quickly backed down and said to Madam Shen, "Even the officials have been alerted. You've made enough of a scene!"

"What are you waiting for? Aren't you embarrassed enough already?"

Madam Shen refused to comply: "If you want to go back, you'll come back with me. I promise I'll never come to this little slut's place again!"

"Don't push your luck!"

"You're not leaving, huh? Well then, I'm not leaving today either. Let's see what you can do to me!"

The two disagreed and started arguing again.

Just when things were at a stalemate, Old Madam Shen suddenly arrived!

Guo An accompanied her.

Relying on his seniority and the favor he had done for the Shen family, he said to Shen Cang with a disapproving look, "Yanlin, when your mother and I heard the news in the manor, we thought it was just rumors spread by outsiders. We never expected it to be true!"

"Tell me... how could you do something so foolish?"

"You have completely failed your mother and me in raising you!"

Shen Cang was already in a bad mood, and hearing Guo An's words made him even more unhappy. He thought to himself, "Why does he sound like his father?"

Despite Old Madam Shen's usual disdain for Madam Shen, she completely sided with her on this matter.

Because she was essentially Guo An's mistress when she was young, she knew exactly what kind of vixen was the one who had seduced her son.

If she had any family background or were well-off, she would never have become someone's mistress.

In other words, Shen Cang may have used the money from the manor to make up for a lot of it for her.

With the family in dire straits, bringing another woman into the household would be another expense, which she couldn't bear to do!

Therefore, ignoring Jiang Wan's greetings and gestures, Old Madam Shen said to Shen Cang and Madam Shen with a stern face, "You two, hurry up and come home with me!"

Shen Cang, oblivious to the situation, blurted out, "Mother, Wan Niang is talking to you."

Enraged, Old Madam Shen slapped him hard across the face and repeated, "I told you to come home with me!"

Guo An also said, "Yanlin, I'm not trying to criticize you, but you're a father now, and your child is so grown up, how can you still be so careless and inconsiderate?"

"Hurry up, take your wife and come back to the mansion with me and your mother."

Shen Cang was speechless.

I thought to myself, "You old man who lives under someone else's roof, what are you pretending to be, acting all high and mighty?"

Anyone who didn't know better would think that he was the head of the Shen family!

However, their commotion did bring Shen Cang to his senses, and he realized that this was not the time to introduce Jiang Wan in front of so many people, so he did not mention her again.

"Wanniang, I'm going back now."

"Don't worry, I won't let you suffer any injustice for no reason."

"I will definitely give you an explanation for this!"

Madam Shen felt like she couldn't hear anything, so she coughed twice and reminded Shen Cang to follow.

Although the latter was dissatisfied with Madam Shen's attitude towards Jiang Wan and was also unhappy that she had slapped him in public, he dared not show it because "filial piety" was of paramount importance.

She glanced at Jiang Wan again and again, but in the end, she followed Old Madam Shen back to the Shen family.

He didn't even wait until he returned to the manor; he brought up the matter of bringing Jiang Wan into the manor with Madam Shen while still in the carriage.
