"It's just a pair of shoes; if they get dirty, just throw them away."
But to see Shen Tangning's own brother so humbly wiping her shoes was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
How come she only discovered this interesting thing now? She rarely managed to get the better of Shen Tangning before.
But aren't they a close brother and sister?
It wouldn't be bad to torment her younger brother.
"That's all for today. I'm in a good mood. I'll invite Young Master Shen again another day." Having achieved her goal, Princess Yun'an left satisfied.
Shen Ci watched her get into the carriage, his gaze filled with a deep sense of hostility.
She likes to play, so he'll play along to the end!
After slowly moving his aching arms, Shen Ci glanced around and slowly walked home.
He gave a self-deprecating smile, thankful that his older sister hadn't seen this scene today, otherwise he would have been utterly humiliated.
...
The moment he looked over, Shen Tangning and Chi Yan instinctively hid themselves. She didn't look in that direction again, pursing her lips and remaining extremely silent.
Seeing that Shen Ci had left, Chi Yan spoke up to remind him, "He's already gone."
Shen Tangning gave a soft "hmm".
Noticing her low spirits, he couldn't think of a way to comfort her. Then, a thought struck him, and he said, "Don't you like Fu Ji's pastries? It's not far from here, I'll go buy you some!"
Shen Tangning's eyes widened, and she opened her mouth, but before she could stop him, he had already run far away.
She had no choice but to give up and lower her head, lost in thought.
The deed is done, and she has no time for sentimentality. The best revenge is, of course, to make Yun'an pay the price, but she hasn't thought of a good way yet...
"Tang Ning!"
Shen Tangning frowned and looked up. When she saw Chi Jingyu walking quickly towards her, she felt like she had met her nemesis on a narrow road.
She turned to leave expressionlessly, and Chi Jingyu was taken aback, but unexpectedly, he shamelessly chased after her: "I have something important to tell you!"
Shen Tangning did not stop walking, her tone indifferent: "But I have nothing to say to the Crown Prince."
She was already in a bad mood, and meeting Chi Jingyu made her feel even more unlucky. She had no desire to deal with him and wished she could leave as soon as possible.
In a moment of panic, Chi Jingyu grabbed her arm. Shen Tangning was surprised, not expecting Chi Jingyu to dare to pull her like that in the street. She forcefully shook him off, her expression turning cold: "In broad daylight, please have some self-respect, Your Highness!"
Chi Jingyu's eyes were complicated as she preemptively asked, "You're back too, aren't you?"
"..."
Shen Tangning's heart sank. Before she could react, a dark figure pounced on her, its cold tone laced with gritted teeth:
I've disliked you for a long time!
Chi Jingyu took a punch to the chin, staggering back a few steps. His face turned extremely ugly when he saw who it was:
"Chi Yan, are you crazy?"
Chi Yan turned around and handed the crumpled oil paper to Shen Tangning. He slowly rolled up his sleeves, his eyes filled with hostility, and raised an eyebrow with a cold smile: "You dare to pull and shove at my wife in the street? Do you really think I'm dead?"
He was seething with anger and, without saying a word, punched again.
Chi Jingyu's face darkened as well: "Fine, I've disliked you for a long time too!"
The two instantly started fighting. Shen Tangning was stunned, not yet understanding how things had developed like this. She instinctively wanted to stop them: "Chi Yan! Stop fighting!"
These two are officials of the imperial court, what kind of behavior is it for them to fight in the street?
And does he really think he's invincible?!
