Shen Tangning was in a good mood and exchanged a few words with the old lady, which made the old lady so angry that she closed her eyes and didn't want to talk to her anymore. Only then did she stop, still feeling unsatisfied.
Madam Chi found it amusing and, under the guise of caring for the ailing old lady, took her place, beginning a new round of torment for the old lady.
Shen Tangning and Chi Yan went out and happened to stumble upon a good show.
Wang Zhi Ning approached gracefully, her hair styled in a married woman's bun. She looked timid, as if someone had bullied her.
Lady Hou was furious when she saw her like this. Remembering how pitiful she looked when she caught the two in the pavilion the night before, her anger flared.
Having been immersed in the inner quarters for so many years, how could she not see through this scheme?
Whether it was an accident or deliberate, she knew better than Marquis Ningyuan!
Driven by rage, the sickly and weak Lady Hou forcefully pushed aside the servants, strode forward, and slapped Wang Zhi Ning several times, gritting her teeth and cursing, "You lowly wretch!"
Shen Tangning saw it clearly: the Lady Hou had used almost all her strength, and the swift slap landed on Wang Zhineng's face, causing her to collapse to the ground, tears streaming down her face.
Chi Yan heard the person next to him gasp softly and instinctively teased, "You still can't bear it?"
She doesn't seem like such a kind person.
Sure enough, Shen Tangning shook her head: "It takes two to tango. The Marquis's wife should treat everyone equally."
Even if Marquis Ningyuan was drunk, he wasn't so drunk that he couldn't walk or was completely confused. Besides, would someone who is truly drunk even know what kind of thing they would do?
Marquis Ningyuan's face darkened instantly, somewhat annoyed by his wife's shrewish behavior: "How could you act like a shrew in front of so many people?"
His silence only fueled her anger, drawing all of it to him. Completely losing her temper, she was consumed by thoughts of teaching the two adulterers a lesson. She immediately turned and slapped the Marquis of Ningyuan across the face.
"If I'm a shrew, then what are you, some kind of saint?"
Due to the height difference, the Lady Hou only managed to hit his chin, but that was enough to shock and dumbfound everyone in the courtyard!
Right now, everyone is getting their share of the benefits.
Seeing Shen Tangning's satisfied expression, Chi Yan suddenly became suspicious: "Why does this scene seem so familiar?"
She glanced over casually, a forced smile on her face: "Is that so?"
He quickly straightened his expression and said, "I must have remembered it wrong."
On the other end, Marquis Ningyuan was momentarily stunned by the shock. His wife was about to hit him again when he grabbed her wrist in time, his voice filled with deep anger: "Are you crazy?!"
He couldn't bear to lose face in front of so many people.
Lady Hou was still not satisfied. She scratched and clawed at his face, glaring at him with eyes that seemed to be crying but weren't, and said aggressively, "You, Marquis Ningyuan, can do such a filthy thing. Are you afraid of what people will say? At your age, you're still philandering. You shameless scoundrel who can't control your lower half!"
"hiss."
Shen Tangning and Chi Yan gasped in unison.
Lady Hou seems to be really angry. How could she say such a thing? Does she not intend to live with us anymore?
Marquis Ningyuan's face turned pale and then flushed, and he said furiously, "You shrew, I'm divorcing you!"
Chi Jingyu stepped forward to break up the fight, but was accidentally injured several times. He couldn't take it anymore, and his face darkened: "Enough! Haven't you made a fool of yourself enough?"
That shout had a considerable deterrent effect, finally calming the two down. Chi Jingyu calmly instructed the servants, "Send Mother back to the East Courtyard!"
The tense atmosphere eased considerably after Lady Hou was forcibly dragged away.
