As the saying goes:
Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels fast.
The farce involving the Chi family spread throughout Yanjing in less than a morning, thanks in no small part to Shen Tangning's instigation.
The legitimate daughter marries into the concubine's household, and the concubine's daughter marries into the legitimate son!
Good heavens, this is a once-in-a-century spectacle!
Not only were the common people talking about it, but even the powerful families were watching the spectacle. Shen Tangning, the only victim in this accident, was mentioned by people several times.
Miss Shen was raised to be a lady of a prominent family, but now she has married a good-for-nothing playboy!
For a moment, the woman felt sympathy, and the man felt regret.
...
"Damn it! Did you find out where that bastard Chi Yan is? I'm going to kill him!"
The young man was exceptionally handsome, but at this moment his face was full of anger, arrogant and domineering. He was none other than Shen Tangning's younger brother, Shen Ci.
The servant rushed over, still out of breath, and said, "Young master, I've found out that that kid Chi Yan is currently at Sibaozhai!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Ci gritted his teeth, his fists itching fiercely: "Fine, he's already out fooling around on the very first day of his marriage! Get the horses ready! I'll beat him to a pulp!"
Sibaozhai sounds respectable, but it's actually just a smoky and disreputable entertainment venue for cockfighting and cricket fighting. Respectable young men would never stoop to such a place.
Chi Yan is different; he's practically ready to buy a piece of land there!
...
Upon hearing the servant's report, Madam Fang slightly curled her lips, slowly put down the embroidery frame, and pretended to be troubled: "Young Master is impulsive and will definitely want to avenge his elder sister, but he never knows how to control his strength. What if he beats the young master badly?"
Granny Cen's eyes darted around, and she immediately understood: "Madam, you've thought this through. Why don't you send a servant to stand guard at the palace gate and deliver a message to the master?"
"That's all we can do." Aunt Fang sighed and rubbed her temples. "Let's go to the Jingzhao Prefecture to let them know. Before the master arrives, at least try to stop them, lest someone actually gets killed."
Granny Cen smiled and said, "My aunt is indeed kind-hearted."
If this matter escalates to the point of involving the Jingzhao Prefecture, it will no longer be a minor incident!
Given Censor Chen's stubborn temper, he will definitely submit a memorial tomorrow morning accusing the master of failing to manage his household properly and allowing his youngest son to fight in the street!
With the master being so concerned about his reputation, the young master is in for a rough time.

Sibaozhai.
"Brother Chi, I never realized you were such a lucky guy! How about it, you married a celestial beauty, you must have been secretly delighted last night, right?"
One of Chi Yan's cronies, Ji Wuyai, was winking and making faces at the person next to him, his face full of mockery.
Chi Yan was teasing the cricket in the bamboo cage, cheering it on, when he heard this and glared at it sideways, his brows furrowed with slight annoyance: "Hey Crow, can you please stop bringing up things you don't want to hear?"
He's secretly pleased with himself. He's already showing great strength by not hiding under the covers and crying after marrying such a ruthless wife!
Ji Wuyai chuckled and said to the person next to him, "Look at him, he's still not happy?"
Tang Xu shook his head: "Miss Shen is beautiful and talented, and comes from a noble family. What else could you possibly be dissatisfied with?"
Talented and beautiful?
He had heard of his talent, but had never had the chance to see it with his own eyes. As for his appearance...
Chi Yan's mind flashed with Shen Tangning's face, her ears burning slightly, and she thought that what she said was true.
He thought Shen Tangning was a hundred or a thousand times prettier than Shen Xiwei, and Chi Jingyu was really blind!
"Go away, let's not talk about that, the competition is about to start!" He held the cricket, his voice full of affection, "Cui Cui, whether we can avenge this defeat depends on you!"
The other two twitched at the corners of their mouths when they heard the name.
As fellow playboys, they sometimes couldn't understand Chi Yan's mind.
Should we name the cricket Cui Cui?
How could he even think of that!
The match began, and Chi Yan focused intently, his fists clenched: "Cui Cui, go for it! Beat it, and I'll treat you to a nice meal when we get back!"
