"Who do you think you are to mess with me? Don’t you know who I am? I’m the daughter of the Sixth Elder. If my dad finds out you dared to treat me like this, he’ll make sure you pay for it... uh!"
Before she could finish her tirade, she looked up and saw Elder Zhu’s somber face, which scared her into swallowing the rest of her words.
"Elder... Elder Zhu."
Cold sweat started pouring out, and she curled herself up like a frightened quail, daring not to be arrogant anymore.
"What, are you going to make me pay for it? Hm?" Elder Zhu looked at Shen Yuan, his gaze even sharper.
"No, no, Elder Zhu, you misunderstood, I... I didn’t mean it that way." Shen Yuan couldn’t afford to admit it. If facing someone else, she wouldn’t regret saying it and would even feel smug.
But this was Elder Zhu in front of her. Even her father had no choice but to take reprimands obediently when facing Elder Zhu, let alone her?
"As long as you didn’t mean it."
Elder Zhu kept staring at her, taking a deep breath.
"Elder Zhu, do you... do you have any instructions for me?"
After a good while, Shen Yuan’s scalp started tingling under Elder Zhu’s gaze, almost forcing her to kneel.
She mustered up the courage and asked.
In her mind, Elder Zhu couldn’t possibly know about her scheme against Lin Caisang, the Junior City Lord’s wife, so it must be about something else.
But she hadn’t done anything bad recently, truly nothing.
"Why did you go to the City Lord’s Mansion today?" Elder Zhu didn’t waste words, asking directly.
"Uh!"
Shen Yuan was taken aback by his words, her entire face turning pale.
She never imagined that Elder Zhu had actually hauled her over for questioning over a trivial incident at the City Lord’s Mansion.
"N-nothing really, I just went to watch the fun. My dad said there were lots of family heads there today, so I just went for a look."
Of course, she couldn’t admit that she intended to cause trouble, otherwise, Elder Zhu might really make her suffer.
"Is that so?"
Elder Zhu let out a faint snort.
"So, you didn’t have your maid lure the Junior City Lord’s wife into a corner for you to personally teach her a lesson?"
She asked straightforwardly.
"No, no, Elder Zhu, I didn’t do that. Who told you that? How dare I disrespect the Junior City Lord’s wife?" Shen Yuan frantically denied.
Cursing her maid in her heart for betraying her, that little wench dared to sell her out; just wait until she gets back to deal with her!
"You say you didn’t, then you didn’t."
Elder Zhu didn’t press further. After all, she was the daughter of the Sixth Elder, so she couldn’t just strike her dead.
"Shen Yuan, you’re quite grown up now. It’s time to arrange a marriage for you. Since your father isn’t setting it up for you, then I’ll reluctantly find you a suitable husband."
This woman should be married off quickly, or else another storm would arise in the City Lord’s Mansion.
"What?!"
Hearing Elder Zhu’s words, Shen Yuan was stunned.
Arrange a marriage? How can that be?
She’s destined to marry the Junior City Lord, become the Junior City Lord’s wife, and in the future, she’ll become the City Lord’s wife.
How could ordinary men deserve her?
"No, Elder Zhu, you... you can’t... I’ve already... already have someone I like."
