Chapter 590 - Chapter 590: Chapter 596: So Arrogant (2/2)

Su Wenyue frowned slightly upon hearing this. Although she did not know who the woman was, it was indeed quite impolite. Announcing one’s identity is the most basic etiquette when visiting someone’s home. The woman’s actions implied a lack of regard for her and even seemed provocative.

Seeing Su Wenyue frowning, the servant added, “The woman is dressed lavishly and is accompanied by many servants. She is likely not an ordinary Miss, and she seems very proud, probably not easy to deal with. Do you want to meet her, Madam?”

“Now that you say that, I am indeed curious to meet her. Xiao Xi, go and welcome her in. I want to see who she is,” Su Wenyue, who was never one to shy away from trouble, felt a sensitive nerve triggered, suspecting this had something to do with Han Yu.

“Yes, I’ll bring her in right now.” With such a scenario, it was difficult not to speculate, and Xiao Xi seemed to have some guesses as she headed out with a fighting spirit, eager to see which woman had the audacity to challenge her mistress!

Zhou Yao, accompanied by several servants, was waiting at the entrance, growing impatient. Noticing that Su Wenyue did not come to greet her personally and had instead sent a servant girl, Zhou Yao’s expression darkened further. How dare an ordinary merchant’s daughter slight her! Little did she realize that she hadn’t announced her identity, giving no reason for Su Wenyue to personally welcome her. Furthermore, even if she had revealed her status, she wouldn’t have qualified for such consideration, her arrogance merely stemming from her self-important position as the City Lord’s wife’s niece.

Zhou Yao’s servant girl knew her mistress well and knew what she was thinking by the look on her face. With arrogance, she pointed at Xiao Xi, “Madam Han sure produces quite the spectacle. Our miss comes to visit, and you only send a lowly maid to greet us. Are you looking down on the people from the City Lord Mansion?”

Xiao Xi, although initially only hearing about it, now witnessing their attitude first-hand, felt it was even more outrageous than the servant’s description, especially as they showed no respect for her mistress. She was extremely angered.

However, Xiao Xi was not the same as before. Although still impulsive, she had become seasoned and managed to stay calm despite her rage, particularly because the others were invoking the authority of the City Lord’s Mansion. Uncertain of their status, she was wary of offending them, not wanting to cause trouble for her Madam.

“I do not know which Miss you are. When the concierge came in, he did not clearly state the identity of the visitor. Therefore, my Madam sent me,” Xiao Xi wanted to clarify their status before taking any action. Judging by the age, she seemed about the same as the City Lord’s only daughter, but when Liu Xinru briefly visited with Liu Xiu that day, she looked different from the woman before her. Could it be? Xiao Xi had some guesses but still wanted to get a clear answer.

“How dare you, a mere maid, inquire about my mistress’s identity? You should just tell your Madam to come out and greet us directly. Otherwise, don’t say I didn’t warn you. This is Peicheng, and offending someone from the City Lord Mansion will not bode well for you,” the woman referred to as the miss remained silent, her maid expressing her intentions instead. She was here to trouble Su Wenyue, aiming to intimidate her, so she was hardly likely to be polite.

Unless the City Lord and City Lord’s wife themselves came, even if it were the City Lord’s only daughter, she could not expect the Madam to welcome her in person. Even though they were currently staying in Peicheng, the Madam was still a General’s wife. Furthermore, this self-proclaimed Miss, who wasn’t even the City Lord’s only daughter, had no grounds for such arrogance.

With these thoughts, Xiao Xi maintained a respectful demeanor, “I am but a servant girl and do not deserve to inquire about this Miss’s identity. However, our Madam is not someone who meets with just anybody. If you do not wish to reveal your identity, we will have to respectfully decline.”
