Xie Zhiyan's social status was her strongest protection.
Zhong Yun'er chuckled, as if she had heard a joke.
"What, you have a husband who's a military officer, just like Shu Ying? By the way, I don't think you're married yet. I think Cheng Shaoyuan is quite loyal to you. If you ask me, people shouldn't be too greedy, lest they end up with nothing."
Shu Yan's chest heaved violently. She was furious at being repeatedly provoked by people inferior to herself.
"If you can be here, why can't I? My future husband will definitely make me surpass you in status. It's not too late for you to curry favor with me now."
Zhong Yun'er sneered, "I'm a military dependent, and my husband is a people's hero. It's only natural for me to be here. Shu Ying and Li Qingqing are also military dependents, and they're here legitimately too. So who do you think you are?"
Shu Yan's mind went blank for a moment. Was Shu Ying in the family compound?
There was some uncertainty in her voice, "What did you mean just now? Shu Ying is here?"
Zhong Yun'er straightened her back, and the expression on her face changed from mockery to disdain.
When a person falls on hard times, their IQ seems to drop. Shu Yan looks dull and not very smart now.
"Otherwise what? They are legitimate military dependents. Do you think you can just side with Shu Ying?"
Zhong Yun'er couldn't help but laugh, "You used to look down on people, but now you want to rely on them. Shu Yan, I think you're pathetic."
She looked coldly at Shu Yan, whose face was pale, and felt a sense of satisfaction. Shu Yan used to be so noble, but now she had nowhere to live, no fixed abode, and had to be pitied by everyone.
"Shu Ying is living a life of unparalleled glory now. Who wouldn't envy her? You're both children of the Shu family, so how come your lives are so different?"
Shu Yan belatedly realized that Shu Ying had not been sent down to the countryside at all, but had come to the capital with her child.
She has now found Xie Zhiyan before her and become a military wife.
Shu Yan's world has collapsed.
"You say you don't have a very good relationship with them, so I advise you not to be so tactless. They're a happy family, why do you have to come and interfere? I'm telling you, you just have no sense of propriety. Forget it, there's no point in talking to someone like you."
Shu Yan took a deep breath. After being mocked by Zhong Yun'er for so long, her face turned ashen. "Why are you babbling about our family's affairs? Anyone who didn't know better would think you were Shu Ying's sister. Don't you even know what you look like? You're just showing off because you're a military family member. No wonder Duan Huaichuan wanted Li Qingqing but not you."
Shu Yan's words struck a nerve with Zhong Yun'er. She gritted her teeth, and if it weren't for the sentries, the two of them would have been fighting.
"Watch your mouth. We both had our own difficulties back then. Who are you to tell me what to do? You don't even know how to live your own life. Do you think you're some rich young lady? With your clothes, you might as well go beg on the street. At least you won't starve to death."
Shu Yan waved her arm, and the unpleasant smell emanated from her. Zhong Yun'er waved the air in front of her with disgust, her eyes even more mocking.
"Can't you have any self-awareness? You stink like hell, you're even less hygienic than a man."
Shu Yan's face flushed with anger. "Stop talking nonsense. I just couldn't wash up on the way here. Even if I'm down on my luck, I'm still better off than you. With your sharp and mean attitude, you'll never be happy in this life."
