Chen Kangjian's eyes were eager.

Shen Wantang lowered her eyes, avoiding Chen Kangjian's scorching gaze.

"Mr. Chen is tired, take a rest first, we can talk about the rest later."

Shen Wantang let out a long sigh, stood up and walked towards the door.

"Miss Shen!"

Chen Kangjian shouted, tears bursting out like a flood, and he forced himself to sit up: "This is Chen's only request."

Although Shen Wantang had the same idea as Chen Kangjian, she could not agree to it in this situation.

"Mr. Chen, I have my people who need to be protected. Are you trying to drag me into the fire pit?" Shen Wantang turned around, his eyes devoid of emotion.

"I will pretend I didn't hear what you said today."

Leaving behind these cold words, Shen Wantang left the restaurant without even looking back.

Qing'e hurriedly chased out. Although she didn't understand what was going on, seeing Shen Wantang's pace getting faster and faster, she realized that it was better not to say anything.

Not long after he walked out, Cen Xiao hurriedly chased after him and used his body to block Shen Wantang.

"Why didn't you respond to what he just said?"

Cen Xiao was puzzled and chased after him, determined to get to the bottom of it.

"I thought the general's brain would be more useful after all this, but I didn't expect that he is still a blockhead."

Shen Wantang spoke coldly, cursing without mercy, "If it wasn't your Cen family that suffered today, would you still be generous to others? If today, all your clansmen would die because of your one wrong thought, and I asked you lightly, what are you hesitating about? How do you feel?"

"I'm not what you think..." Cen Xiao wanted to defend himself, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was speechless by Shen Wantang.

"Cen Xiao, I originally thought that you would understand me given our relationship. I overestimated our relationship. I never thought that the person in front of me would be so stupid. If one day he were to be framed and killed, I, Shen Wantang, would not say a word for you."

After he finished speaking, he spoke angrily, glared at him fiercely with a sinister look, and then pushed Cen Xiao away without any courtesy.

After being scolded like this, Cen Xiao stood there, feeling aggrieved like a child.

"I'm just asking, I don't mean anything else..."

Looking at Shen Wantang's back, he shook his head helplessly and then let out a long sigh.

At that time, Pei Qing hurriedly caught up and glanced at Shen Wantang's departing back: "Master, have you made Miss Shen angry again?"

Pei Qing was already in a bad mood, and he came forward and said a few sarcastic words. Cen Xiao was angry for a moment and pushed Pei Qing away with a palm: "If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb."

Jiangzhou is still bustling, and Pingjiang Street is still full of singing and dancing.

The next morning.

Shen Wantang got up early. He thought about what happened last night for a long time. He tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. He just fell asleep but was awakened by the disturbance again.

She simply got up and went to the yard.

The soft sword flew into the air, and the rustling sound echoed in the courtyard.

As the sweat dripped down, Shen Wantang finally felt his heavy heart relax for a moment.

The sun gradually rose, and a maid slowly came forward: "Miss cousin, you got up so early, breakfast is ready."

Shen Wantang turned his wrist, put the soft sword back into the scabbard, and nodded.

Getting up early to practice qigong makes me feel a lot lighter both physically and mentally.

It's a great day, so don't let other worries disturb your mood.

After changing into a silk dress and waiting for Qing'e to comb her hair, the two of them went to the side hall.

"Then what do you want me to do? What can I do? I am just a scholar now, isn't it all because of you?"

In the corridor, there was a faint noise coming from a man, and it could be heard that the man was trying his best to lower his voice.

Shen Wantang frowned slightly and walked lightly.

"Now, it's my fault again! A few years ago, I asked you to study hard, but you said you were still young. You also said that my father passed the imperial examination only after he had two children. Now, he has two children, but where is your imperial examination?"

Immediately, Chen Tao's complaints were heard.

Unlike her husband, she did not lower her voice, but just scolded him directly. However, she was not satisfied with just saying it, so she raised her hands and punched the man twice.

The man felt a little pain for a moment, but he just took two steps back.

"Don't be unreasonable!" The man looked around and continued when he saw no one around.

"How could I be unreasonable? It's obviously you who is the one who is lying around at home. My little brother has already made a name for himself, yet you are still so shameless!"

Chen Tao didn't give the man any face at all. From the sound of his voice, she seemed to want to curse the man's ancestors for generations.

"But big sister?"

Shen Wantang coughed lightly and slowly appeared with a smile on his face.

Chen Tao and his wife finally adjusted their expressions, turned around and smiled awkwardly: "Tang'er."

"Brother-in-law is here too." Shen Wantang raised his head in surprise, then bowed.

"Why isn't my aunt here?" Shen Wantang asked with a raised eyebrow after looking around.

Chen Tao came forward, took Shen Wantang's arm and walked towards the side hall.

"Mother is busy with the wedding banquet. Although I can let my servants do it, the servants are not as reliable as I can do it. So I went out early in the morning to buy things and went to the temple outside the city to burn incense and worship."

Chen Tao said, since there is a slope, just go down it.

Chen Tao's husband followed behind, staring at Shen Wantang in a daze.

"Aunt, is there anything you can help me with? I'm free anyway, so I can do my part for my brother."

Shen Wantang spoke quickly.

Chen Tao smiled calmly and patted her hands: "You, just take a good rest. If you have time, just walk around the city. We finally came here, how can I make you tired?"

Breakfast was already prepared in the side hall, and the three of them sat down. The atmosphere was inexplicably awkward.

Shen Wantang said nothing, just lowered his head and ate.

But I always felt that my brother-in-law's eyes were lingering on me.

In the previous life, although I had not met my eldest brother-in-law many times, according to rumors, he was a modest gentleman, not the kind of man who lived off women without any ability.

But the voice I heard today did not match the one in the rumors.

Shen Wantang was thinking about something.

She slowly raised her head and saw the loving look on Chen Tao's face as he picked up food for her. She slowly breathed a sigh of relief - perhaps she was just overthinking it.

Which couple doesn’t quarrel?

"You can use the coachman at home. Just tell him where you want to go and he will take you there."

Chen Tao grabbed Shen Wantang and gave him some instructions.

Shen Wantang smiled and nodded, then went to the carriage in the backyard.

"Where are you going, young lady?" the coachman patted the horse and asked with a smile.

This question really stumped Shen Wantang - after all, she hadn't been to Jiangzhou for more than ten years.
