The sentence Yang Cui hated most was: "He's still a child!"
"He's just a child who doesn't know any better, but are you children who don't know any better either? Isn't it because you, as parents, taught him to behave like that?" Yang Cui said irritably.
Cen Xiao said, "You all brought this upon yourselves! Originally, the Emperor only punished Lord Shen with three months' salary and ordered Shen Nan to reflect on his mistakes behind closed doors."
Shen Yuliang glared resentfully at the two women who were more trouble than they were worth. If it weren't for them, things wouldn't have come to this.
Yang Cui, Cen Xiao, and the others boarded the carriage and left.
As Yang Cui was leaving, she heard Shen Yuliang roar, "What exactly did you do today?"
“We didn’t do anything, we just took Xiao Nan to the General’s Mansion and asked her for an explanation,” Madam Shen cried.
"Explain? What's there to explain? If he hadn't been spouting nonsense in the Southern Study, would they have beaten him up? And you still want an explanation from him?

"What do we do now?" Madam Shen asked anxiously.
"How would I know what to do?" Shen Yuliang roared.
The Shen family was in the wrong from the start, but instead, they made things worse and escalated the situation.
Shen Yuliang was so angry that his head ached.
Madam Shen cursed and swore, "That bitch Yang deserves to die a horrible death! Not only did she steal Xuan'er's marriage, but now she's also preventing Xiao Nan from entering the Southern Study. Why doesn't Heaven punish this bitch?"
Madam Shen did not lower her voice, and the passing officials must have heard it as well.
Shen Yuliang felt embarrassed and put on a sour face: "Can you please stop talking? Aren't you embarrassed enough? Go back!"
