A few days later, a very wealthy woman came to Guangming Village, followed by a servile little maid.
Along the way, with the women looking disgusted, the maid finally found out the old man Shu's home from the villagers.
At this time, Shu Guozhong, the eldest son of the Shu family, had already gone off to fool around somewhere, and only Ke, Xiao Qifeng and Shu Zhenmeng were left in the room.
As soon as they entered the house, the richly dressed woman asked Ke in a stern voice, "Are you the adoptive mother of that bastard?"
Seeing that the visitor had ill intentions, Shu Zhenmeng immediately stepped forward to block Ke.
"Who are you? Why are you so rude to my mother?"
The lady then looked straight at Shu Zhenmeng.
Glancing at Shu Zhenmeng, whose clothes were not even as good as those of her maid Qing'er, the noblewoman smiled with disdain. She said to Shu Zhenmeng, "So you are the bastard. I thought you were some other kind, but it seems you are just an ordinary one. But you are so lucky. After more than ten years, my master was able to find you in this remote place.
"Stinky girl, you must be very happy to be promoted to the general's daughter, right?"
Seeing the visitor mention the general's name, Shu Zhenmeng, who was about to get angry, suppressed her anger. She forced a smile and asked, "Madam, I don't seem to know you. Did you come to the wrong place?"
"Wrong door... How is that possible? You little girl, let me ask you, is your name 'Zhen Meng'? You still cherish old dreams, haha... That's hilarious."
Shu Zhenmeng replied seriously, "I'm sorry, I don't think my name is funny, but Madam, you're already old enough to tease an unmarried girl about her name. Don't you think you're being ridiculous?"
"How dare you, a little village girl like you, disrespect my general's wife? Do you believe that my wife will raze this rotten house of yours to the ground right now?"
Qing'er had always looked down on Shu Zhenmeng. Seeing that a little village girl could insult her master, even though this village girl was her master's daughter, Qing'er couldn't help but step forward and slap Shu Zhenmeng in the face.
Shu Zhenmeng was stunned by the beating. She touched her swollen face and asked in disbelief, "Why did you hit me?"
Mrs. Ke couldn't bear to see her daughter being wronged, so she pushed Qing'er away.
"I wonder if you're just a mad dog biting people randomly? Before you came to Guangming Village, did you ask who I, Ke, am? You even dared to touch my daughter. You must be tired of living."
The force was so great that Qing'er stumbled and fell to the ground, and Ke then pulled the lady into the fight.
Shu Zhenmeng learned the identity of the wealthy woman from Qing'er, and she quickly tried to stop him, saying, "Mother...everyone who comes is a guest. Besides, this lady is my father's wife, so I have to call her 'Mother' in name only. So please, for my sake, don't do anything."
Mrs. Ke paused, but her pause earned her a kick in the stomach from the lady.
The noble lady pointed at Shu Zhenmeng with disdain and cursed, "You damn bastard, don't think that I will let you into my manor just because my master finds you. I'm telling you, don't dream. As long as I, Ji Hongmei, am here, I will never let you set foot in my manor.
Qing'er... let's go. Talking to such a lowly person is simply a disgrace to my status."
