"Miss, those people have gone too far!"
Recalling what had just happened, a flash of anger crossed Xueqing's eyes.
Although I had long suspected that Madam Yang's invitation was ill-intentioned, I did not expect her to be so shameless as to bring so many helpers. Isn't this just bullying people by taking advantage of the numbers?
Shen Tangning's eyes turned slightly cold: "They can't hold back because they see the Xie family losing power."
It's difficult to offer help in times of need, but there are many more people who will kick someone when they're down. They think that without the Xie family and the Empress as her backers, she will swallow her anger?
It's a real pity. She might tolerate things that are insignificant, but when it comes to people she cares about, she will never allow anyone to show any disrespect!
"Does Miss really intend to report this matter to Lord Yang?" Xueqing asked tentatively.
With a detached, emotionless twitch at the corner of her mouth, Shen Tangning's gaze was icy: "I have no interest in meddling in other people's family affairs, but a warning is just to make her afraid to provoke me again."
After she left those words, Madam Yang would inevitably be uneasy and anxious day and night. She would probably avoid her in the future. This was exactly the effect that Shen Tangning wanted.
As for whether Lord Yang will find out by chance in the future, that depends on her mood.
...
When Chi Yan returned from her shift, she sat down and asked with a smile, "Didn't you go to a banquet today? Did anything interesting happen?"
He knew her schedule for the day, but he was unaware of the complicated history behind it, so he just asked casually.
There was nothing to hide, so Shen Tangning briefly explained the situation. Chi Yan's expression hardened slightly: "Lord Yang, although I'm not familiar with him, we've had some dealings a few times."
His gaze turned slightly cold, and although he was smiling, there was a dangerous glint in his eyes. "They are so unscrupulous simply because they think you have lost your backing now... If you want, I can help you out. If I upset you, then we might as well all suffer."
He genuinely thought so. Seeing his serious expression, Shen Tangning laughed instead: "It's nothing serious, I can handle it myself. How can a man like you meddle in matters of the inner quarters? You'll only become a laughingstock."
"Let her laugh, it's better than your wife being bullied." Seeing her complexion improve, Chi Yan relaxed and changed the subject, "I happened to hear an interesting story."
Shen Tangning became interested and looked up at him intently: "Oh?"
He lingered his gaze on her face for a moment: "I heard that Chi Jingyu is planning to get married recently."
She paused for a moment: "Where did you hear that from?"
Chi Yan slowly explained, "I bumped into him today and happened to hear others teasing him about it, but he didn't refute it."
Shen Tangning frowned slightly, quickly understanding:
In the past, Chi Jingyu was not easy to marry because of his damaged reputation. In addition, Shen Xiwei was pregnant, so what girl would want to marry him?
But things are different now. He has been promoted and became the Minister of Works at a young age. His future looks bright. In addition, Shen Xiwei's first child was not born. So, some people have started to have designs on him.
Moreover, given the current state of the Marquis's household, it is indeed time to welcome a new bride into the family.
She curled her lips in a mocking smile: "I wonder which girl is so unlucky."
She genuinely sympathized with the other person.
Seeing that she had no reservations, Chi Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "With his current status, what kind of family can't he choose?"
