The atmosphere on the field was electric when Shen Ci burst in.
"Chi Yan, get out here right now!"
Chi Yan didn't react at first, until Ji Wuyai nudged him: "Hey, it sounds like someone's calling you."
He glanced back and his eyes widened in terror. "Oh no, Chi Er, your brother-in-law is coming!"
brother in law?
Where did he get his brother-in-law?
Chi Yan turned around, and Shen Ci had already rushed in front of her, his fist swinging towards her.
He was startled and nimbly bent down to dodge: "Brother, what grudge do you hold?"
Shen Ci's brows furrowed coldly, his anger turning into a mocking laugh: "You still have the nerve to ask me?"
Chi Yan came to her senses and realized that Shen Tangning seemed to have a younger brother.
In a flash, he shouted, "Crow, protect my Cui Cui!"
As Ji Wuyai dodged the stools thrown by Shen Ci, the corner of his mouth twitched violently:
What kind of time is this to worry about your cricket?
Upon hearing this, Shen Ci was even more enraged. Veins bulged on his forehead, and he spat out through gritted teeth, "You actually dare to keep a woman outside behind my sister's back?!"
Cui Cui, it sounds like a girl's name!
"..."
This is a huge misunderstanding!

Xueqing rushed in with a worried expression: "Miss, something bad has happened! Madam sent word that the young master has led a group of men to confront the son-in-law, and it looks like a fight is about to break out!"
Shen Tangning suddenly stood up, her eyes darkening: "Where is he? Prepare the horses immediately!"
Shen Ci is always impulsive, and when it comes to matters concerning her, she is even more unable to distinguish between right and wrong. If something bad really happens, it probably won't be so easy to resolve!
As soon as the carriage arrived in front of Sibaozhai, Shen Tangning saw a large crowd of onlookers gathered at the entrance, including some yamen runners.
Her father, Shen Chang, followed behind the Prefect of the Capital, his face grim and his eyes blazing with anger. He didn't see her and went straight into the door.
What's my father doing here?
Shen Tangning frowned, vaguely sensing that this matter was not so simple. Her heart sank, and she followed without making a sound.
Xueqing supported her and whispered, "Miss, Master shouldn't be off duty yet. How come he arrived so quickly?"
They acted quickly, rushing here as soon as they received the news, but they were still a step too late!
A cold glint flashed in Shen Tangning's eyes. Thinking about who would benefit from this, it wasn't hard to guess.
"Shen Ci, stop!"
Hearing Shen Chang's gloomy voice, Shen Tangning's heart tightened.
She stood at the doorway and looked inside, then paused, stunned by what she saw.
The place was a mess, but Shen Ci and Chi Yan were arm in arm, laughing and huddled together, and the atmosphere was surprisingly good.
Shen Ci looked up in surprise: "Father, what brings you here?"
Shen Chang was also somewhat suspicious, but he didn't think much of it and coldly questioned, "You still have the nerve to ask me? Don't you know what you've done?"
Shen Ci looked puzzled: "Is there a problem with me chatting with my brother-in-law and catching up?"
Chi Yan also stood up with a smile and said, "Father-in-law."
Shen Chang was stunned. He turned to look at the Prefect of the Capital, who wiped his sweat and said, "Young Master Chi, Young Master Shen, I have received news that there is a group of people fighting here."
Shen Ci frowned: "Who's making this up? My brother-in-law and I were just sparring."
Chi Yan disagreed, saying, "Exactly, can you call it a fight when it's just family?"
"..."
