“You lowly being, how dare you glare at me?”

Seeing Weiai look at her, the girl raised her eyebrows angrily and scolded.

At that moment, the bodyguards chasing after Weiai stopped in their tracks as they saw the girl, bowed down all at once, and said respectfully, “Second Young Mistress.”

Second young mistress?

Weiai heard this and understood.

She was just thinking about her obnoxious attitude. So it turned out that she was the daughter of the Shen Family. She should be Shen Shaobai’s cousin. This was because she had once heard that Shen Shaobai was the only child and was brought up by the Old Master Shen.

As a result, Old Master Shen doted on him very much and appointed him as the inheritor of the Shen Family.

In reality, Weiai was right.

The Shen Family, during Old Master Shen’s generation, had three sons and two daughters, all of whom were married.

As of now, only Master Shen—Shen Shaobai’s father—passed away early on due to sickness. So, only two sons and two daughters were left and this second young mistress was the daughter of the Third Master Shen.

“Young sister, is this the new maid? What a clumsy and rude person! Hurry up and fire her…”

Su Meiya said with an arrogant look on her face.

In Weiai’s eyes, that attitude was exactly the same as that of Shen Shaobai. They were indeed cousins!

As to why this second young mistress had the surname Su and not Shen, it was a result of the Shen Family rules. In the Shen Family, only the males had the right to inherit the Shen surname, whereas females had to take their mother’s surname.

This rule had been around for a hundred years.

The reason was not only because males were favored over females, but it was also because females were seen as outsiders and only the males were qualified as inheritors. When the females get married, the Shen Family would give an expensive dowry, but other than that, they would not inherit any other properties.

“Second Young Mistress, I’m afraid this is not possible.”

At that moment, Shi Mei walked towards Su Meiya slowly.
