Chapter 28: No wonder she's the miss of the Wen Family of Chang'an—she really wants both!

Outside Chen Fu.

"That maid went to report, why does it take so long?"

After waiting a long while, Qiu Lan, her brows furrowed with displeasure, complained: "Miss, once Chen Yan returns, you must have him sell her...."

Having said that, she gritted her teeth.

She was holding in a bellyful of anger.

A mere servant, neglecting her own young lady, didn't even promptly and respectfully invite her into the mansion, let alone treat her as an honored guest.

And she went away for so long, leaving them standing here.

"Hmm."

Wen Nianshu nodded, gave a response, placed her hands on her lower abdomen, surveyed this manor that belonged to her, and softly hummed: "Without rules, nothing can be properly formed; the petty people in this manor ought to be replaced and managed...."

Once she becomes the mistress of Chen Fu....

No!

After Chen Yan returns, the first thing will be to have him replace these clueless servants.

"Clang!"

As the master and servant were speaking, the tightly closed gate of Chen Fu opened, and several people walked out.

"Miss, the steward of Chen Fu has arrived."

Qiu Lan, seeing this, turned her gaze toward the sound while tugging at Wen Nianshu's sleeve, saying: "You must not be soft-hearted; you need to firmly establish the rules....."

To neglect the future mistress of the household, we must give these lowly wretches a show of force and a profound lesson.

So that the servants don't end up riding on the master's head.

"Who does this young lady think she is?"

"So it's the eldest daughter of the Wen Family!"

Qingyu, dressed in green robes, stopped her steps, looked down from above at the two below, gave a contemptuous smile, and openly mocked: "You've already abandoned my Young Master, yet you still have the nerve to come here?"

"Moreover, you still have the cheek to call yourself the future mistress of Chen Fu?"

Just looking at Wen Nianshu's face made Qingyu angry.

Thinking back to all those past years and everything that happened in Tianlao Siyu, she felt it was a waste for her Young Master!

Fortunately, the Young Master has now gone through this, finally awakened, and no longer bewitched!

"You... how dare you speak to my young lady like that?"

Qiu Lan was struck head-on by Qingyu, her face changing color, and she shouted angrily: "You, a mere servant, how dare you act this way toward the master?"

"Is there any propriety left?"

She had thought it was just the gatekeeper maid who didn't understand, and that once the steward of Chen Fu arrived, they would surely lower themselves and respectfully invite her and her servant inside....

But she never expected the steward of Chen Fu's attitude to be even worse!

He even mocked her young lady with sarcastic remarks!

Does he want to overturn heaven?

"Master?"

Qingyu laughed hearing that, glanced at Wen Nianshu with disdain, and said: "She's just your dog of a master, and not mine from Chen Fu!"

"Qingyu, I think there may be some misunderstanding between us...."

Wen Nianshu remained calm, as if she hadn't heard, smiled slightly, and spoke softly: "What about Chen Yan?"

"Where did he go?"

"When will he return?"

As she spoke, a flash of Dark Hawk passed through her eyes.

It was obvious she wasn't being magnanimous and forgiving; she clearly knew that the urgent task at hand was to first meet Chen Yan, ease tensions, and win his heart....

As for this Qingyu?

She's merely a little maid beside Chen Yan; there will be plenty of ways to deal with her later.

Qingyu was just about to retort when Dantai Mingyue spoke first: "Throwing stones into a well, heartless and unjust, selfish and self-serving, chasing to Tianlao Siyu to demand a divorce, in a crisis rushing to sever ties—what misunderstanding could such a woman have?"

"Truly worthy of being the miss of the Wen Family of Chang'an, she really wants both!"

Her words contained no vulgarity, yet were full of sarcastic innuendo.

It also succinctly stated the actions of a certain young lady.

Chen Yan blurts out everything.... Wen Nianshu cursed silently, her gaze falling on that unfamiliar face, and she asked doubtfully: "Who are you again?"

She had never seen this woman before.

Moreover, she didn't recall that besides Qingyu, Chen Yan's entourage included this person.

Especially since this woman is so beautiful, not at all inferior to herself....

"Who I am doesn't matter!"

Dantai Mingyue's face was expressionless as she coldly said: "What matters is that Chen Yan won't want to see you, and this place doesn't welcome you!"

Her voice was ice-cold.

To reject someone from a thousand miles away goes without saying.

"Chen Yan once loved me so deeply; how could he not want to see me?"

Wen Nianshu gritted her teeth, gave a soft hum, and countered.

She paused, then declared firmly: "He will surely forgive me now!"

"As always, be good to me!"

She appeared utterly confident.

Other young masters from noble families, Wen Nianshu might not be sure about, but regarding Chen Yan, she remains steadfast!

What it was like before, that's what it will be like afterwards!

When Chen Yan returns, seeing her take the initiative to come to his door, he will surely eagerly seek reconciliation, letting bygones be bygones.

"What a big face—it can hold thousands of mountains and rivers!"

Dantai Mingyue looked at that woman brimming with self‑confidence, rolled her eyes, and mocked: "Your confidence is as laughable as your character!"

"While the sky isn't dark yet, seize the time to sleep; in daydreams, anything goes...."

"Chen Yan isn't your plaything that you can summon at will and dismiss at will!"

In Dantai Mingyue's expression and tone, there was an unspeakable disdain for Wen Nianshu.

She had realized, that guy Chen Yan, his gaze used to be truly bad....

No!

It's blindness!

How could anyone look up to this trash?

Qiu Lan, hearing this, flew into a rage and demanded: "You... how dare you speak to my young lady like that?"

Qiu Lan was dumbfounded.

She never expected that someone would dare to speak insolently to her young lady, and right outside the manor of that sycophant Chen Yan.

"A lowlife is just pretentious!"

Dantai Mingyue coldly replied, then turned to Wen Nianshu and continued: "Miss Wen, you were the one who wanted to break off the engagement that day; after that, you and Chen Yan have gone your separate ways, with no further ties!"

"Without a divorce paper, the engagement isn't dissolved; I am still Chen Yan's fiancée!"

Wen Nianshu's anger surged in her chest, her hands clenched repeatedly, her face alternating between dark and bright, as she gritted her teeth and said.

It's true that she wanted to break off the engagement.

But Chen Yan never signed the divorce paper, so the engagement still stands!

She merely made a mistake any woman might make; could it be that Chen Yan won't forgive her?

Her wanting to break off the engagement does not mean she is not Chen Yan's fiancée!

"Two‑faced, three‑edged, delusional, lacking ability but full of petty thoughts!"

Dantai Mingyue twitched the corner of her mouth and coldly laughed.

After a pause, she exposed the truth: "It's nothing more than seeing Chen Yan's current success and usefulness, then clinging shamelessly, eyes pleading, to continue pestering...."

A lowlife is a lowlife.

Do you really think she can't see what scheme that woman surnamed Wen is hatching in her heart?

Full of scheming to exploit!

Cheap and foolish.

"What did you say!"

Wen Nianshu stared, almost shouting it out.

She looked utterly defenseless.

Struck where it hurt, and even had her fig leaf torn away.

Dantai Mingyue gave a half‑smile and said lightly: "I said 'feelings sparked by the scene,' and you took just two characters!"

"Pulling the millstone naked‑ass‑ed, turning in circles to lose face!"

"A donkey does nothing all day but keeps kicking your head!"

Dantai Mingyue's little mouth, as if laced with poison, kept spewing out nonstop.

"You dare scold my young lady?"

"Who gave you the guts?"

Wen Nianshu was so angry her chest heaved, her face dark enough to wring water from.

All her life, she had never suffered such utter humiliation!

Dantai Mingyue raised her brows slightly and teased: "Not only would I scold you to your face, if you can't hear me, I could even carve it on your tombstone!"

After a pause, she added thoughtfully: "Even the prostitutes in Chang'an's Qinglou Goulan have more affection and righteousness than you!"

"Not even as good as a prostitute...."

The girls in Qinglou Goulan are merely forced into the dust of the world; that doesn't mean they lack human feeling or righteousness.

Pick any one at random, and she would outshine the Wen family's young lady by a thousandfold!

"Ah!"

Wen Nianshu stomped her foot sharply, emitting a piercing burst of sound, turned to the maid beside her, and hysterical cried: "Qiu Lan, slap her!"

"Tear that lowlife's mouth apart!"

Dantai Mingyue's last two words formed a killing blow against Wen Nianshu, literally a heart‑stabbing murder.

Before, Chen Yan scolded her for being a prostitute yet wanted to erect a chastity arch; after, this woman cursed her, saying she wasn't even fit to be a prostitute.

Qiu Lan, hearing this, didn't pause, rolled up her sleeves, and strode forward.

"Slap!"

With a crisp slap, Dantai Mingyue raised her hand and sent Qiu Lan flying to the ground.

Afterward, under Qingyu's shocked and admiring gaze, she rushed to Wen Nianshu's face and lunged straight at her....

"Slap!"
