Gu Tingye came home drenched in rain, looking haughty and refusing to look at Sheng Minglan. Sheng Minglan quickly went to coax him, as she had anticipated the rain and had already sent someone to deliver an umbrella to him. Gu Tingye, however, said that he rode his horse to court. Seeing that Sheng Minglan didn't understand, Gu Tingye simply lay in her arms and asked her if she was upset because of the recent rumors.
The Duchess of Yingguo was celebrating her birthday, but she didn't invite them, the couple, at all, nor did she invite anyone from Yuzhou. The Duke and Duchess of Yingguo were clean and upright, and they completely looked down on Gu Tingye. Sheng Minglan, however, cared a lot about external comments. After all, "three men make a tiger."
Gu Tingye thought she was worried about him, but Sheng Minglan fobbed him off with a saying about husband and wife being one, sharing glory and suffering together. Helpless, Gu Tingye kissed Sheng Minglan and said they would have dinner together in the evening. Lai Mama and Wang Wu Xifu'er started quarreling because Lai Mama blamed the missing items on two young servant girls. Sheng Minglan passed by but didn't intervene.
It wasn't the right time yet; a cunning fox would always show its tail. Sheng Minglan called for Wang Wu Xifu'er. She was a practical person, so Sheng Minglan gave her the task of planting flowers and trees. Wang Wu Xifu'er was stunned at first; this was a lucrative job. Sheng Minglan gave her a few words, telling her to show proper respect to Lai Mama.
Wang Wu Xifu'er had quarreled with Lai Mama, and Sheng Minglan then rewarded her with a lucrative job. Everyone should somewhat understand which way the wind was blowing. Sheng Minglan's calligraphy was as bad as ever, and Rong Jie'er mercilessly exposed it. Sheng Minglan quickly picked up another book, but unexpectedly, Rong Jie'er had memorized that one too. She didn't know what else to teach Rong Jie'er.
Rong Jie'er said she wanted to learn polo, and Sheng Minglan became happy too. She could teach that, but Rong Jie'er couldn't ride a horse yet, so it would be better to learn in a couple of years. Rong Jie'er had already planned it out; she wanted to buy a small horse to ride. Sheng Minglan talked with Chang Momo. Chang Momo deeply felt that Sheng Minglan was virtuous and gentle.
She wasn't angry when Chang Ge'er was mentioned, and even hoped to find him soon. Soon after, Lai Mama and Wang Wu Xifu'er started quarreling again. It seemed they had understood Sheng Minglan's intention. Rong Jie'er excitedly came in, shouting that there was a fight, and then went to watch the excitement. Sheng Minglan sat down, having no intention of dealing with the matter. Chang Momo, however, became anxious, as the residence was indeed extremely disorderly.
Sheng Minglan said that these people were really difficult to handle. Even if Lai Mama was dealt with, there would still be Hua Mama and Tian Mama later. It would be better to kill them all with one stick. To accomplish this, Chang Momo's help would still be needed. The Princess and Duke Qi were discussing Sheng Minglan and Gu Tingye, with absolutely no good words.
The Princess even sighed, saying it was a good thing Sheng Minglan wasn't married into their family. Qi Heng, who had been ill for a long time, got up and heard his parents saying these things. He naturally defended Sheng Minglan for a few words and also stated that he would attend court starting tomorrow. Duke Qi was anxious about his marriage.
The Princess originally thought he was unwilling, but unexpectedly, Qi Heng told them to handle it as they saw fit. At night, Chang Momo invited the two mamas sent by the Fourth and Fifth Households to drink, instigating them to bring down Lai Mama, assuring them that Sheng Minglan would certainly not treat them unfairly. The two mamas were hesitant at first, but later both felt it made some sense.
Sheng Minglan went fishing with Xiao Shen Shi, Empress Shen's younger sister. She had been accustomed to being wild in Yuzhou since childhood, just like Sheng Pinlan. Lai Mama took some wild vegetables from the kitchen, and Tian Mama immediately grabbed her and started arguing with her, eventually getting into a physical fight, with several servant girls and mamas joining in. Xiao Tao saw it, secretly giggling and watching the commotion from the side.
Shitou quickly went to the front courtyard to report to Gu Tingye. Gu Tingye knew they were from the Marquis's Mansion and didn't want to get involved. Shen Congxing, who was beside him, was very puzzled, but since Gu Tingye didn't care, he couldn't say much either. Gu Tingye and Shen Congxing had a very exciting martial arts spar in the front courtyard. The Shen family siblings left with smiles.
Gu Tingye asked Sheng Minglan if she wasn't afraid of it spreading and becoming a laughingstock. Sheng Minglan, on the contrary, was afraid that Xiao Shen Shi would stand up for her. As they were from the same background, others might not believe it if it were spoken of.
