Disturbed, Mo Qingcheng was in a terrible mood. She frowned and said in a cold tone, "Vice City Lord Shen, are you very free?"
Deputy City Lord Shen Wuxin laughed: "The young mistress has quite a temper."
Ah, Shen Wuxin glanced into the room through the gauze window. Just one glance, and she seemed to be frozen in place, completely immobilized. A flash of amazement crossed her calm, deep eyes, then vanished in an instant.
Mo Qingcheng raised her eyes and met the deep, cold gaze outside the window. She glanced at it lazily, seemingly uninterested, and turned her head away.
Shen Wuxin narrowed his eyes, instructed Liang Feng and the maid to take good care of Mo Qingcheng, and then turned and left.
Mo Qingcheng turned around, watching that receding figure, her eyebrows slightly raised. Why does this guy look so familiar? Where have I seen him before?
Little did he know that the deputy city lord, Shen Wuxin, had the same idea. He unknowingly came to a corner and was about to take a step when he heard the conversation between the second and third wives in the mansion. He stopped in his tracks, wanting to hear what kind of trouble the two women could cause.
The second wife's face contorted with rage: "Are you stupid? Such an important matter, and you didn't even send someone to tell me. Humph, do you know how much I've suffered?"
The third wife scoffed, "Second sister, you're wrong about that. I was thinking of having someone tell you the news, but don't you know where you went today?"
The second wife was speechless, cursing the third wife to death in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face.
snort!
idiot!
I've seen stupid people, but I've never seen anyone this stupid.
The third wife lowered her eyes indifferently, her heart filled with disdain. Who did she think she was?
The two grew increasingly angry as they talked, and their fragile friendship quickly crumbled.
Deputy City Lord Shen Wuxin thought he was about to get some juicy gossip, but the two idiots were just spouting nonsense, wasting his time and emotions.
snort!
The third wife's eyes flickered slightly. Once the light footsteps of the deputy city lord, Shen Wuxin, had completely faded away, she breathed a sigh of relief: "Second sister, alright, don't be angry anymore. It's all my fault. Let me tell you..."
Second Madam Wu Mei couldn't stand the Third Madam's rambling, serious-sounding nonsense, so she gave her a few perfunctory words and sent her away.
Turning around, just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he saw a large group of people charging towards him aggressively. His legs went weak with fear, and his voice trembled slightly: "You...you..."
The newcomer arrived in the blink of an eye, his eyes filled with hostility. Wu Mei's heart skipped a beat, and she pursed her lips tightly before kneeling on the ground with a thud.
The newcomer was Xue Yumei, the first wife of Shen Wuxin, the deputy city lord. Not only did she have a powerful family background, but she was also incredibly skilled in martial arts, even more so than Shen Wuxin.
Shen Wuxin was a womanizer; otherwise, she wouldn't have brought in more than a dozen concubines in just two years. At first, they all thought themselves extraordinary and wanted to band together to teach the First Madam a lesson.
Unexpectedly, no matter who they were, they were no match for the First Madam. Gradually, the focus of their conflict shifted to others. They were all concubines, so who was more noble than whom?
"Second sister, what are you doing here? I heard you and third sister were frightened..." Madam Xue Yumei said calmly, her face expressionless.
Wu Mei's alarm bells blared: "Sister, it's all my fault, please, just let me go!"
The First Madam's lips curled into a meaningful smile: "Second Sister, what makes you say that? Come, come with your elder sister to dine; Madam will surely be pleased..."
Wu Mei gave a bitter laugh: "Sister, I really know I was wrong, sob sob... It was all because of Third Sister's instigation."
Before she could finish speaking, the Third Madam interrupted her: "Ha, Wu Mei, is this what you call sincerity?"
