Chapter 199

Cheng Zilong’s teacher is truly remarkable. As Tang Ning heard Cheng Zilong say this, that thought instantly crossed her mind. Her little brother, having finished roaring at his parents, shoved his way through the crowd and ran off. I say "shoved" only because these three groups of people had packed Tang Ning’s small courtyard so tightly that not even a drop of water could get through. If only two parties had been present, they would have either held a standoff or negotiated a truce. It helped that Tang Ning’s side of the family and her in-laws were naturally aligned in their positions. But with three factions now present, each with their own hidden vulnerabilities, no one could make any headway for the time being.
