The story went like this.

After breaking through multiple obstacles to pick up his bride, Tang Li finally arrived at Ning Jing’s doors, but was blocked by a team of 10 servant girls all in a line. The one standing in the front was Ning Jing’s personal servant, Shuang Yue.[1. Shuang Yue (双月) - literally “double moon.”] She too, was part of Ning Jing’s dowry and was going to live with the wet nurse at the Tang Clan.

As with most traditional wedding games, Tang Li tried offering both silver and sweet words to pass her guard, but Shuang Yue refused to relent. Thus, he seized a chance while she was distracted to plant a kiss on her cheek. It was only a feint, because he didn’t really kiss her, but Shuang Yue immediately moved to slap him. Tang Li caught her hand and teased, “No rush. When we return to the Tang Clan, you can hit this young clan head however you’d like.”

He only held on for a few seconds before pushing her aside. Shuang Yue cursed him as lustful, lowbred wastrel who couldn’t compare to the likes of Miss Jing. Tang Li accepted the insult and acted out his “seduction skills” with great and vivid effect!

“If this young clan head isn’t worthy of Ning Jing, I could certainly be worthy of you?” Tang Li asked, examining Shuang Yue with interest before his eyes paused over her chest.

Furious and humiliated, Shuang Yue snapped, “You’re not!”

“Then who is? Tell us. This young clan head will definitely learn studiously from her,” Tang Li said, amused.

“You!”

“Me? Didn’t you say I wasn’t worthy? What, regret it now?” Tang Li laughed out loud.

Shuang Yue was no match for his tongue. Angry and embarrassed, she only insisted again, “In any case, you’re no match for my young Miss.”

“Then what should we do? You’re so smart and so pretty, you should teach this young clan head a few pointers. This young clan head will definitely listen to you,” Tang Li grinned.

“You, you be quiet!” Shuang Yue fumed.

Tang Li immediately muffled his mouth like a docile child as he stood in place. Shuang Yue found it awkward. If this keeps on, how will the young Miss ever marry out of this house? But I can’t just let this loafer off like that.

Finally, she said, “You should apologize! And then…”

“I’m sorry,” Tang Li said meekly.

Scared to death, Shuang Yue nevertheless persisted bravely on. “You should kneel…”

Tang Li fell to his knees before she even finished, causing an uproar. Ning Jing was peeking out from the window, filled with both scorn and indignation. Every time she saw Tang Li, her opinion of him fell even more. If possible, she’d never see this scoundrel again, much less listen to his voice! Today he was supposed to marry her, but here he was teasing her servant girl right in front of her room. What was that for?! Is he going to let the servant girls sleep with him in the future? What other awful things will he do in the coming year?

“Drag Shuang Yue away from here and feed her to wolves out in the mountains!” Ning Jing ordered coldly.

“Young Miss, wouldn’t you be a laughingstock for Tang Li if you do that? Since it’s come to this, just follow their whims. Shuang Yue is a girl who still knows the limits of propriety,” it was a steady and composed middle aged woman who spoke--Ning Jing’s wet nurse, whom everyone called Aunt Shuang.[2. Aunt Shuang (霜姨) - Shuang means “frost.”]
