Bai Ziyu said directly:

"Didn't you say that what happened between them was just sordid business between women? If it's sordid business between women, then why add to the burden of Prefect Cui, who is already busy enough?"

Situ Yue's eyes narrowed sharply, as if dark clouds and a storm had instantly gathered within them.

There was no movement for a long time.

"Young Master Bai, as a model of scholars, shouldn't you be acting in a way that lacks any sense of order?"

Wen Lang suddenly spoke up, staring straight at Bai Ziyu.

He was tall and upright, with an upright and righteous look, and had the appearance of a gentle and refined gentleman.

The reason he spoke out was:

Firstly, no matter how much he looked down on Yu Shuyan, she was, after all, his wife. For his wife to be addressed as "Miss Yu" by another man instead of "Mrs. Wen" was, to him, the greatest insult.

If he were to speak out and question Bai Ziyu, a model of literary integrity, it might earn him a reputation for high moral character.

Secondly, Situ Yue is the beloved daughter of the Prime Minister. Since she dislikes Yu Shuyan, if he can help her vent her anger, he can not only please the Prime Minister, but also potentially get Situ Xiong to speak well of him to Princess Changning.

With Ouyang Xu and Situ Xiong, both favorites of Princess Changning, speaking well of him, what could he possibly fail to achieve—a meteoric rise to power and a position of high rank?

Thirdly, in a little while, the future of this literary world will become yesterday's news. What's there to worry about if he offended a dead pillar of the literary world?

Killing three birds with one stone, Wen Lang truly is a dragon among men, with outstanding wisdom and resourcefulness!

Bai Ziyu looked at him calmly:

Who are you?

Jin Wanliang couldn't help but chuckle again.

They witnessed the entire event from beginning to end.

Of course, he knew that this person was Wen Lang, who was also Yu Shuyan's husband.

Bai Ziyu always treats people he doesn't like with indifference.

When did I become so sharp-tongued?

It seems that he really despises Wen Lang!

Unconsciously, Jin Wanliang glanced at Yu Shuyan again, a hint of inquiry flashing in his eyes.

In just a moment, he rejected his own idea:

Impossible, how could that be? You must be overthinking it.

Jin Wanliang's laughter unconsciously drew chuckles from the onlookers.

Wen Lang felt his cheeks burning, and he suppressed his embarrassment and anger, maintaining his dignified demeanor.

"Young Master Bai, why do you have to insult people like this?"

"Everyone says you are learned, a handsome young man, exceptionally talented, and a gentleman. Yet, they call my wife Miss Yu instead of Mrs. Wen."

"Moreover, this is a disguised way of targeting and insulting me."

"This makes me wonder what you really mean. Do you have other thoughts about my wife?"

"Wow~"

His words caused a sudden uproar among the onlookers.

How dare he, how dare he doubt Bai Ziyu like this?

Does he not want his future?

However, after he said that, everyone's eyes turned to Yu Shuyan and Bai Ziyu, scrutinizing them back and forth.

"How dare you!"

Bai Ziyu hadn't reacted yet, but Situ Yue spoke first, coldly.

"Who gave you the audacity to slander Ziyu like this? Don't think that just because you were recommended by Master Ouyang, you can act so lawlessly."

Wen Lang was startled and realized that he had acted impulsively after being provoked by Bai Ziyu.

His original intention was to target Yu Shuyan and curry favor with Situ Yue.

Unexpectedly, a careless remark offended her.

With a quick thought, she bowed gracefully to Situ Yue, immediately making amends:

“Miss Situ, you don’t know this, I’m not trying to slander Mr. Bai, but rather to remind him. My wife is a scheming woman who doesn’t uphold traditional virtues. I’m afraid that Mr. Bai will be deceived and seduced by her.”

Yu Shuyan frowned deeply:

Although I knew he was cold-hearted and ruthless, I never expected him to be so disgusting and despicable.

He actually fabricated and slandered his own wife so casually.

Seriously, it's disgusting to open the door to disgusting things, it's disgusting to the extreme.

It is tolerable and unbearable.

Yu Shuyan couldn't help but want to rush forward and slap Wen Lang's hypocritical and disgusting face hard.

"Crack~"

A crisp, loud slap rang out first in the room.

Wen Lang's face was slapped so hard it turned to the side. His eyes were filled with shock, resentment, and deep-seated hatred.

Bai Ziyu was wiping his hands with a handkerchief. He wiped them carefully for a while before throwing the handkerchief on the ground like trash.

His gentle eyes were now filled with coldness.

"This slap is for all the scholars in the world. A man like you, who speaks without restraint, uses foul language, and disrespects his wife, has truly disgraced all the scholars in the world."

Wen Lang turned his face abruptly, his eyes filled with resentment and anger, and was about to speak.

"Crack~"

Another slap.

It knocked his face to the other side.

Wen Lang was completely bewildered. He didn't come to his senses for a long time.

Wen Lang raised his hand and turned to look at Jin Wanliang.

Jin Wanliang couldn't help but roll his eyes, taking a handkerchief from his sleeve and handing it to Bai Ziyu while complaining:

"Since we're going to fight anyway, why don't we wait until we're done fighting before wiping each other clean up!"

Bai Ziyu smiled gently:

"I couldn't resist, that's all!"

The onlookers were so shocked their eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

Bai Ziyu, who was always gentle, refined, and composed, seemingly devoid of any emotional fluctuation, suddenly became so sharp and incisive.

Yes, we've taken action!

What is going on here?

This banquet was definitely worth coming to; I actually saw Bai Ziyu, who is like a god, also have such a down-to-earth side!

Wen Lang finally couldn't hold back any longer. He suddenly turned his head to look at Bai Ziyu, wanting to burst out with a tirade.

"Crack~"

Another crisp slap sounded.

Wen Lang's face turned to one side again.

But this time...

The person who slapped her was Yu Shuyan, who looked utterly exasperated and indignant.

Wen Lang suddenly turned his head and glared fiercely at Yu Shuyan:

"How dare you hit me!"

"Crack~"

Another slap landed, and Wen Lang's face turned to the side once more.

His eyes were filled with disbelief and deep resentment.

However, before he could react again...

Yu Shuyan, however, did something that shocked everyone present!
