If they had witnessed Shen Tangning's methods, they might already be begging for her hand by now!
The others glanced at Shen Tangning's face and fell silent: ...
That makes sense. If they could marry such a beautiful wife, and they were unambitious... then they might as well be unambitious.
Xiao Yu was so angry that he clutched his chest, but he couldn't find any words to refute him.
Shen Tangning's lips twitched almost imperceptibly, her eyes instantly reddening as she looked at Chi Yan with heartbroken eyes: "What about Miss Pingting?"
Chi Yan now feels terrified and his scalp tingles whenever he sees her cry.
Because, in his observation, those who could make her act so pretentious often ended up in terrible situations.
Therefore, without thinking, he blurted out: "That Ting, I don't know her at all!"
That's true. Although Chi Yan spends his days idly and hangs out with the underworld, he has his bottom line. He is mortal with gambling, prostitution, and drugs!
He had only heard about that beautiful girl from others; he had never even met her, nor had he ever considered her.
If he were a womanizer, the most beautiful woman in Yanjing would have become his wife. Why would he spend all his time in his study?
Xiao Yu, a fan of the beautiful young woman, was displeased and couldn't help but mutter, "You're so beautiful, you don't even have the chance to get to know her!"
Chi Yan, thick-skinned as ever, pretended not to hear.
Shen Tangning's eyes welled with tears, as if trying to discern the truthfulness of his words: "What about the jade? Do we still want to buy it?"
"No, no, I'm not buying it!" Chi Yan didn't dare mention jade anymore and said obsequiously, "I'm just curious about what the jade looks like. If Madam isn't happy, then we won't buy it!"
He just hoped this matter could be resolved as soon as possible.
Shen Tangning reluctantly expressed her satisfaction, wiping away her tears: "Since that's the case, my husband has had his fun. Now, let's go back and review our lessons."
Chi Yan was heartbroken. He should have never come to this wretched place. He had only been out for a short time!
Hearing this, the others couldn't help but tease, "Oh, studying for the imperial examination? Is Young Master Chi planning to become the top scholar?"
The others burst into laughter.
Who doesn't know Chi Yan's skill level?
Chi Yan was in a bad mood, his face sour: "What's it to you? Since you're so free, why don't you go to the second intersection of Tonghua Lane in the west of the city and help that black female cat give birth?"
"..."
Shen Tangning politely apologized to the shopkeeper: "My husband has a quick temper and his words and actions are often inappropriate. Please forgive him if he has offended anyone."
She was humble, and the shopkeeper, flattered, waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "Madam, you're too kind!"
Shen Tangning led the dejected Chi Yan out the door, while the crowd behind them whispered among themselves:
"I've long heard that Miss Shen is gentle and sensible, and seeing her today confirms it. It's just a pity..."
It's such a pity she married such a good-for-nothing husband; fate is truly cruel!
Among the crowd, some people's faces darkened.
If Shen Tangning hadn't intervened halfway through, this would almost have been a success!
...
"I'm sorry you had to see this." Shen Tangning apologized to her two friends.
Upon hearing this, Chi Yan looked over with a resentful expression: "What do you mean? Do I look like a joke?"
She glanced at him lightly, and Chi Yan immediately shut his mouth.
Wen Yao coughed awkwardly: "It's okay, Ningning, we'll go out and play again next time."
Shen Tangning and Chi Yan got into the carriage. Wen Yao sighed softly, "This Chi Er isn't as bad as I thought. Ningning is strong-willed, and he knows how to back down. Surprisingly, they're actually quite a good match?"
"Yes." Jiang Qingyue's lips curled up, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.
