“What you say is true, sir! But the amount you spend in a day at Panlou Pavilion across the street is enough to drink tea here for a month!” The young servant of Sifuzhai was naturally eloquent and quickly replied with a smile.
“Oh! How vulgar!” At this moment, a young man dressed in brown spoke up again: “Look at this tea tasting, poetry discussion, music practice, and music listening, it’s all about tranquility! Even small things have their own unique charm!”
"That's true! But vulgarity is elegance, and elegance is vulgarity; let's appreciate both!"
Hearing their comments, Chai An's face grew increasingly grim. He hadn't expected that this small Sifuzhai, after such a makeover, would actually catch the eye of these scholars!
They even opened an open-air counter selling antiques and curios next door. If things continue like this, who knows, Sifuzhai's reputation might overshadow their own Panlou in this East Market Street!
No! I must think of a way to give Sifuzhai a really bad fall!
"Oh my! What's with the wind blowing today?" Just as Chai An was hatching a wicked plan, he suddenly heard Li Niangzi's voice behind him.
"How did you manage to bring Master Chai from Panlou here?"
Chai An was taken aback, then quickly turned around and gave Li Niangzi a perfunctory bow.
Of course, his current humble demeanor can no longer escape Lady Li's notice!
She rolled her eyes slightly, then walked up to Chai An while fanning herself with a round fan, looking him up and down and saying, "This shop is too small and cheap to accommodate your two precious legs!"
"I'll have to trouble you to move over a bit!"
After saying this, Lady Li adopted the air of a noblewoman, and with a slight wave of her fan, two Silver Shadow Guards from the shop stepped forward and dragged Chai An out.
Although Chai An knew a little about kung fu, his superficial knowledge was no different from that of an ordinary person who knew nothing about kung fu in the eyes of the Silver Shadow Guard!
He surrendered completely without even putting up a fight, and was helplessly pushed out the door by the Silver Eagle Guards as if he were being escorted as a prisoner, right before the eyes of the guests.
Then, amidst the uproarious laughter of the crowd, he was thrown out.
If he hadn't known a little bit of martial arts and managed to steady himself at the last moment, he would have really fallen flat on his face on the street of Dongshi!
……
Bah!
"Those women from the Li family!" In a room on the second floor of Panlou, Chai An angrily slammed the teacup in his hand onto the ground!
The ground was now littered with shards of porcelain. He had smashed more than twenty cups, but he still couldn't quell the hatred in his heart!
After all, as a prominent figure in the entire East Market, when had Master Chai ever suffered such humiliation?
"Brother!" Fan Lianghan huddled in the corner, trembling slightly as he watched Chai An's furious figure.
"Look at your pathetic self!" Chai An was even more furious when he saw Fan Lianghan's pathetic state!

Chapter 128 Shouhua is harassed! The Marquis intervenes!
This cousin's manhood was shattered by Wei Tingyu's kick. Although he can now barely walk, he will be completely cut off from women for the rest of his life.
Even though the Fan family couldn't swallow this insult, they didn't dare offend the Marquis of Jining, so they could only swallow their anger and bear it!
However, Chai An absolutely could not tolerate it!
"Tell me! Do you want revenge?!" Thinking of this, Chai An glared fiercely at his cousin Fan Lianghan, and then asked.
"Revenge?" Fan Lianghan was taken aback, and a sinister glint flashed in his eyes!
However, his timid nature immediately took over, and he shrank his neck and said, "My father warned me not to mess with the Li family again!"
"You have no hope for the rest of your life! What's there to be afraid of?" Chai An almost fainted from anger upon hearing this.
However, I heard that Fan Lianghan's father, Master Fan, actually took two concubines yesterday!
It seems his main account is ruined, and he's preparing to start a new one! And Fan Lianghan, knowing his future is hopeless, has become even more cowardly than before…
Chai An sometimes wondered how he could possibly be related to this bear by blood.
However, Chai An's words of disappointment and frustration quickly ignited and spread the little bit of revenge in Fan Lianghan's heart.
Yeah! Since we've already given up on this life anyway, what's there to be afraid of?
Thinking of this, Fan Lianghan surprisingly mustered his courage. He nodded sharply, looked at Chai An, and asked, "Then, cousin, what do you suggest we do? How can we get revenge?"
"You've figured it out?" Chai An was taken aback, then nodded. At least his cousin still had a little bit of his fighting spirit that could be awakened!
But it's strange, why does he seem more like a man after his testicles are broken? Chai An thought to himself.
He wasn't an impulsive person, and rushing to Sifuzhai to smash things up was definitely not the way to go!
Putting aside everything else, Chai An knew that even if all the servants and lackeys of his own family joined forces and attacked, they would definitely not be able to defeat any one of them!
Therefore, if you want to get revenge, you have to use your wits!
Moreover, the feud between the two sides has only just begun. If a harsh move is made immediately, the other side will definitely turn its attention to itself!
If Wei Tingyu were to retaliate, it's hard to say whether I could withstand it.
“Of course I’ve figured it out!” Fan Lianghan clearly understood this as well. He pursed his lips and clenched his fist, saying, “But with Wei Tingyu backing the Li family, how can they possibly take revenge?”
"We need to think of a way!" Chai An frowned and thought for a moment before speaking, "Ideally, we should get someone else to deal with Wei Tingyu..."
No sooner had Chai An finished speaking than Pan Lou's servant came running in.
"What is it?" Chai An's face fell upon seeing this. He was just thinking about how to get revenge when this brat interrupted him, and he was very annoyed.
"Young master..." Upon seeing his master's expression, the servant immediately lowered his head in fright.
However, he still forced himself to speak, "That young master Yang is here again! He scolded away three or four of his companions and then silently drank two jars of wine! I wonder if he'll cause trouble..."
However, upon hearing this, Chai An not only showed no concern, but his eyes immediately lit up.
Good heavens! Now I have someone to help me get revenge!
……
"Panlou is opening a new wine today, everyone should go and try it!"
"Panlou is opening a new wine shop today, everyone come and support them!"
The next morning, the sound of gongs and drums outside Panlou startled the entire East Market Street, and even the Li family mother and daughter ran to the shop to watch the excitement.
Chai An stood on the tall cart, writing and hanging flags with a sanctimonious air, which drew cheers from the surrounding neighbors and diners.
They even invited the famous courtesan Lu Yanyan to accompany the wine cart as it paraded through Dongshi Street, scattering wine to attract business and expand its influence.
"Wow, so grand!" Qiongnu exclaimed, looking at the lively Panlou with envy. "No wonder they're so extravagant!"
Her words naturally elicited a soft sigh from the Li family mother and daughters.
There's nothing they can do; they have the money to organize events and attract customers!
"Shh! Hurry up!" While their mother and sisters were distracted by the Panlou across the street, Fourth Sister Haode and Fifth Sister Leshan quietly picked up two bamboo hats with light gauze draped over their heads.
Then, hand in hand, they sneaked out from behind Li Niangzi.
After all, given the personalities of these two girls, they wouldn't be themselves if they didn't join in the fun!
What the Li family didn't notice was that a richly dressed playboy was secretly watching them from a street corner in the distance.
"That guy surnamed Chai is right! They really are a family of beauties!" The playboy was so excited as he looked at the Li family girls that he almost drooled.
"But it's too far away, I can't see it clearly!" Thinking of this, he frowned again and even sighed heavily.
……
"Fourth and fifth sisters have run off to play again?!" Aunt Shouhua noticed that her two youngest sisters were nowhere to be seen, so she turned to Li Niangzi and said.
She had specially requested permission from Dou Zhao to visit her mother and sisters at her maternal home's teahouse today, which is why she is here now.
"Huh?" Only after Shouhua said this did Li Niangzi realize what was going on.
She turned her head and looked around, and sure enough, she didn't see the two girls. She sighed, feeling both angry and helpless.
With such a mischievous personality, who knows what kind of trouble he would cause if he entered the Marquis's mansion!
It wouldn't be good for you, a concubine, to run around and have fun all day, while the mistress and the other concubines are constantly frantically searching for you, would it?
Besides, Lady Li doesn't forbid them from going out to play, but they must bring the female guards sent by the Marquis when they go out!
These two little girls are quite something, they're so naughty and mischievous, and lately they seem to be getting more and more rebellious!
"I'll go find those two troublemakers!" Shouhua had also thought of this problem, and frowned as she looked at Kangning, saying, "You stay here and help your mother with the business!"
Kang Ning nodded upon hearing this, then turned and called out into the store, "Chunlai, you go with your older sister!"
"Take two more guards with you!" Upon hearing this, Lady Li hurriedly added, "Shouhua! You are now the treasure of our Li family and the Marquis's mansion. You absolutely cannot have anything happen to you!"
"Don't worry, Mother!" After hearing this, she smiled faintly and nodded in agreement.
After all, she had two female Silver Shadow Guards with her when she left the Marquis's residence today, so there was no need to reduce the number of guards at the teahouse; she could just bring these two with her.
Of course, as a concubine of the Marquis's mansion, it was not convenient for her to wander around the streets like that, so she also wore a bamboo hat with a veil.
However, Shouhua's appearance was outstanding and three-dimensional. Even though she was wearing a light veil and a bamboo hat, you could still vaguely see that there was a beautiful face under the hat!
She witnessed what was happening in front of the spoiled young master who was spying on her from afar, and his eyes almost popped out!
At the same time, his heart began to pound faster! Sure enough, now that he was closer, he could see that all the women in the Li family were indeed beautiful!
Of course, in Shouhua's eyes, he and his two attendants were no different from ordinary passersby, so even as they passed by, Shouhua did not notice the strangeness in their eyes.
After Shouhua had walked away, the spoiled young master gave his two followers a wink and then followed after him.
