I was pampered like a treasure after being married off to the young marshal, but my father and broth

Shang Pengyue had been closely watching Chi Qingyuan's reaction, and seeing his dazed look, her expression darkened.

In her previous life, Shang Sheyu married Chi Qingyuan. Although they later became a bitter couple, they were initially a harmonious and loving couple.

Now that she has finally seized the initiative and become the eldest daughter-in-law of the Chi family, Chi Qingyuan still acts like this when he sees Shang Sheyu.

Is this what they call fate?

No, she doesn't believe in fate!

In this life, she has been reborn, and she remembers the developments of the next five years. She is the protagonist!

Shang Sheyu was nothing more than a minor character who was about to be trampled under her feet.

Thinking of this, Shang Pengyue took a deep breath, put on a sweet smile, and stood silently in front of Chi Qingyuan, blocking his gaze from Shang Sheyu.

"Third sister, you've arrived."

She held Shang Sheyu's hand affectionately, "I was just talking to Qingyuan about how Third Sister hasn't come home much since she married into the Quan family. I was worried that the Quan family had strict rules and wouldn't let you come out."

Every word was meant for Chi Qingyuan.

I am already a married woman!

Sure enough, after speaking, Shang Pengyue glanced at Chi Qingyuan beside her. Seeing him frown and lower his head, Shang Pengyue chuckled inwardly.

Shang Sheyu withdrew her hand and handed over the small brocade box wrapped in red paper: "Fourth sister, congratulations! As your older sister, I don't have much to give you. This is a box of rouge that I picked out at Tianxiang Pavilion a few days ago. Although it's not worth much, it's a small token of my appreciation. I wish you and your husband a long and loving life together."

Shang Pengyue took the brocade box and opened it in front of everyone.

Holding the box of rouge, she curled her lip in disdain.

"Third Sister, aren't you being a bit too... stingy? Our family has never lacked these things. You're the third young mistress of the Quan family now, how can you be so stingy?"

Upon seeing that it was Rouge from Tianxiang Pavilion, Shang Zhuo immediately recalled what had happened there that day and coldly chimed in, "That's right, Third Sister, you send such a piece of junk to Fourth Sister for her wedding?"

Shang Sheyu remained unfazed: "Second brother, you are mistaken. The gift is small, but the sentiment is deep."

Shang Pengyue's face darkened upon hearing this. Who would want to be so affectionate with her?

She casually tossed the box of rouge to Caiju behind her, saying, "Keep it safe. It's a token of my third sister's affection; don't lose it."

After saying that, she turned to look at Shang Sheyu: "By the way, Third Sister, I remember on your wedding day, you made some outrageous remarks at the Quan family banquet, saying that your medical skills were superior to mine?"

After these words were spoken, the surroundings fell silent.

Everyone watched the two sisters with great interest.

Shang Pengyue is now a famous "goddess doctor" in the Northern Territory.

As for Shang Sheyu...

He's completely unknown.

Shang Sheyu kept his eyes down and didn't reply.

"Third sister, I'm not trying to be mean, but it's fine to say these things among family. Everyone knows that our business family only has one promising medical student like me. You've barely even flipped through a few pages of medical books, how dare you say you're better than me?"

"It just so happens that there are a lot of people today."

Shang Pengyue deliberately raised her voice, "Why don't we sisters have a competition right here? Let everyone see if Third Sister is really hiding her true abilities?"

Shang Li walked over from a distance, his gloomy eyes glancing at Shang Sheyu through his glasses: "Fourth Sister's suggestion is good. Third Sister, since you say you have excellent medical skills, then show us what you've got."

"If Third Sister truly possesses that ability, the merchants will have double the joy. But if she's just making baseless accusations and tarnishing Fourth Sister's reputation..."

His gaze sharpened: "Then apologize to Fourth Sister as soon as possible."

Shang Sheyu sneered inwardly.

This family is truly beyond redemption.

A competition of medical skills in this kind of setting?

What do you take a wedding for?

A juggling stall?

She glanced at Old Madam Chi's face, which had turned as black as the bottom of a pot, but her expression remained calm: "The Quan family has strict rules. My mother-in-law once taught me that a woman should value chastity and quietness, and should not be competitive or aggressive outside the home."

Upon hearing this, Shang Pengyue burst out laughing.

She took Chi Qingyuan's arm and said in a coquettish voice, "Third sister, you're so pitiful! You have no freedom at all after marrying into the Quan family?"

"Unlike me, Qingyuan dotes on me the most. Let alone competing in medicine here, even if I wanted to create a hole in the sky, Qingyuan would help me get a ladder, right, Qingyuan?"

She looked up at Chi Qingyuan with anticipation.

Chi Qingyuan felt a chill run down his arm.

Looking at the woman's affected face, I felt a strong sense of disgust.

This woman is not only vain and shallow, but also has absolutely no sense of propriety.

Looking at Shang Sheyu across from him, who was calm, composed, and knew how to advance and retreat with ease, it was immediately clear which of the two was superior.

The guests around him looked at him with a mixture of mockery and pity.

As if to say:

"Young Master Chi, how did you end up marrying such a thing?"

Chi Qingyuan was a little embarrassed. He reached out and forcefully pried open the hand in the crook of his arm, and said in a low voice, "Then you go and poke the hole. I, Chi Qingyuan, am a cripple and can't move a ladder."

After saying that, he didn't even glance at Shang Pengyue, and turned to walk towards the private room on the second floor.

Shang Pengyue stared blankly at Chi Qingyuan's resolute back, her smile frozen on her face, as if she had been struck by lightning.

A low chuckle rippled through the crowd.

"Fourth sister, your husband seems angry."

Looking at her contorted face, Shang Sheyu smiled knowingly and kindly reminded her, "Why don't you go and coax her? It's not good luck to start a fight on the first day of your marriage."

Shang Pengyue suppressed her anger, composed herself, and raised her chin again: "Qingyuan is just tired. I'll go see him later. But... since Third Sister doesn't dare to compete today, then forget it. In half a month, it's the annual medical skills competition of the Medical Academy. Famous doctors from all over the Northern Territory will be there as judges. Third Sister is also a student of the Medical Academy, so she should participate in this competition, right?"

Shang Sheyu's eyes flickered slightly.

In her past life, in order to prevent Shang Pengyue from losing too badly, she deliberately threw the match in the finals and lost to Shang Pengyue.

Shang Pengyue became famous for a while as a result.

Now that she's brought up this competition, does she think she'll ever win again in her lifetime?

"Since Fourth Sister has said so, then I will naturally participate." Shang Sheyu nodded and smiled, "I hope Fourth Sister will go easy on me then."

Seeing that she had agreed, Shang Pengyue was overjoyed.

Once she gets to the field, with the advantage of her rebirth, she will definitely be able to crush Shang Sheyu under her feet!

Moreover, she won in her past life, so how could she lose in this one?

"Alright, it's a deal then." Shang Pengyue said triumphantly, then turned to chase after Chi Qingyuan.

Just then, the banquet hall door was suddenly kicked open.

Immediately afterwards, a ragged, unkempt beggar burst in, his stench wafting out and making people nauseous.

"Give me money! Give me money! It's such a joyous occasion, can't you give me some money?"

He held a broken bowl in his hand, and went up to everyone he saw, chuckling foolishly and revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth.

"Where did this beggar come from? Get out of here!"

"Guard? Where's the guard? How could they let someone like that in?"

The guests covered their noses and backed away with disgusted expressions.

Upon seeing the beggar, Shang Mingguo and Li Yalian's expressions changed drastically: "Guards! Quickly throw this madman out! Don't let him offend our distinguished guests!"

Several servants rushed up with sticks, trying to drag the beggar away.

The beggar, however, was very agile, weaving in and out of the crowd, causing chaos in the banquet hall.

Suddenly, his gaze fell on Shang Pengyue, who was dressed in red, and his cloudy eyes immediately lit up: "Wife, wife!"
