He has had a terrible few days.
Because the matter concerning the second wife was not handled properly, the Lady of the Marquis clearly had a deep grudge against him and no longer relied on him as much as before.
Not only that, but he also promoted someone from below.
This Li Er was originally just a horse feeder, and he had to bow and scrape to him when he saw him. I helped him out because we were from the same hometown, so that he could at least show his face in front of my wife.
And yet, he climbed up by stepping on me, and now he comes to swagger in front of me? What an ungrateful wretch!
Steward Wang was in a bad mood, so he went to the stable and vented his anger.
The servant was feeding the horses and looked at him somewhat nervously: "Steward Wang, is there anything I can do for you?"
"What's it to you?" Butler Wang glanced at it irritably, then suddenly narrowed his eyes. "This is the second branch's horse. Why are you feeding it? Is anyone going out recently?"
The servant answered truthfully, "It is the second young mistress. She is going to Putuo Temple to offer incense tomorrow."
Shen Tangning?
Upon hearing who was responsible for his current predicament, Butler Wang felt a surge of anger.
If it weren't for her meddling, the Second Madam wouldn't have suddenly stopped supplying the public funds, and he wouldn't have been disliked by the Madam for not doing his job well!
Why is it that I've fallen to this state while she remains unscathed?
It's all Shen Tangning's fault!
Once evil takes hold, it cannot be contained.
Butler Wang felt a surge of revenge; he wanted Shen Tangning to pay the price for her actions!
That evening, Butler Wang contacted several idle thugs on the street.
In the darkness, he whispered, "Remember, after you kidnap her, you only need to intimidate her. You mustn't hurt her, and you mustn't make a big deal out of this, understand?"
He still retained some rationality. Although he wanted to take revenge on Shen Tangning, he also knew that if things escalated, it wouldn't do him any good.
The thugs took the money and nodded happily, "Don't worry, sir, we'll definitely do a perfect job for you!"
They were already used to the sordid behavior of such wealthy and powerful families, and had no interest in investigating it.
Butler Wang nodded in satisfaction.
The thought of Shen Tangning's panicked appearance tomorrow filled him with immense pleasure!

The next day, Shen Tangning and Chi Yan packed up and prepared to set off.
Madam Chi knew early on that the young couple was going out, and she was very supportive.
To Shen Tangning's surprise, Shen Xiwei also clung to her: "Elder sister is going to the temple to burn incense, can you take me with you?" She lowered her eyes shyly, "I also want to pray for the safety of the baby in my belly."
Butler Wang's eyelids twitched upon hearing this.
What's this old lady doing here?!
If those people are blind and harm the child in her womb, wouldn't the lady and the prince punish them?
Fortunately, Shen Tangning did not agree. She had other purposes this time and did not want to involve Shen Xiwei, a hot potato. She refused with a half-smile: "The mountain road is rugged and difficult to travel. Second sister is not even three months pregnant yet. She should stay at home and take good care of her pregnancy. If something happens on the road, I cannot bear the responsibility!"
Shen Xiwei was somewhat unwilling and dissatisfied with Shen Tangning's attitude of treating her like a monster, but in the end she didn't dare to risk her pregnancy and could only leave with regret.
Shen Tangning got into the carriage, and Chi Yan was already sitting there lazily: "Your second sister is really no pushover."
