“Shen Mingshu, who gave you permission to wear riding clothes to the racetrack?”
Pei Ji, the regent, kicked open the Marquis's residence gate and fixed his gloomy gaze on his younger brother's wife, dressed in a fitted riding outfit that showed off her figure.
“All the dandies in the capital are staring at your waist. Don't you care about the Marquis's reputation?”
Shen Mingshu toyed with the riding crop in her hand and grinned boldly. “Brother-in-law, your brother has been dead for three years. Can't I find myself a little fun? If you don't like it, by all means, have me set up a separate household.”

Pei Ji went completely mad. He knocked her bundle aside with his sword, then pinned her hard against a vermilion pillar with one hand.
His black iron bracer dug painfully into her. “A separate household?”
Repressed fury, held back for three years, surged in his eyes. His voice was hoarse and vicious. “Shen Mingshu, in life you're a member of the Marquis's household, and in death you'll be its ghost. If you dare step one foot outside this gate, I'll break your legs and chain you up with gold for the rest of your life!”
