The Cold-Faced God of War's Favored Concubine Is Not to Be Tried

Zuo Xinyi felt a strong sense of resentment. She stared at the young master with anger flashing in her eyes. She felt that as the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she had an extremely noble status. How could she be rejected so directly by a mere servant? In her mind, the young master in front of her was just a dog beside Master Shangzhen, who dared to humiliate her, a distinguished guest.

She said angrily, "You are just an attendant beside Master Shangzhen. Master Shangzhen hasn't said anything yet. Who are you to decide who he wants to see?"

She was filled with resentment and dissatisfaction. She felt that she was always better than anyone else. She should not lose to anyone in terms of identity, status or intelligence. Especially Feng Yanan. She was just a fool. She could not lose to Feng Yanan. She had to meet Master Shang Zhen today, otherwise she would feel humiliated.

Zuo Xinyi took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She decided to try a different approach. She softened her tone and tried to impress the young master with her identity and status: "I know that Master Shangzhen is very particular about fate. I won't disturb her for too long. You just need to inform her that Zuo Xinyi, the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, wants to see me. I believe Master Shangzhen will see me."

However, the young master remained unmoved. He said calmly, "Donor, it's not that I didn't inform you, but Master Shangzhen really did instruct you not to see anyone except Miss Feng. Even if you informed him, there would be no result."

Zuo Xinyi's anger was ignited again after hearing this. She felt that this young master was deliberately making things difficult for her and not letting her meet the real master. She glared at the young master fiercely.

At this moment, the door of the Purple Cloud Hall slowly opened, and a steady sound of footsteps was heard. Then, an old man with a gray beard appeared in front of everyone. He had an obvious displeasure on his face, and his brows were furrowed, as if he was disturbed by the noise just now. He said in a deep voice: "Who is shouting and disturbing my peace!"

Seeing this, everyone exclaimed in surprise. This was the Master Shangzhen they had been thinking about. His appearance made everyone present feel an indescribable majesty and pressure, as if the entire space was shrouded by his aura.

Everyone wanted to come forward to attract the attention of Master Shangzhen, but they were timid in front of his majesty and did not dare to come forward easily. They secretly wondered how to leave a deep impression in front of this master.

Zuo Xinyi stood in the crowd: "I don't believe it. Master Shangzhen will reject me when he sees me." She felt that her appearance, talent and family background were all better than Feng Yanan's. She believed that she had enough ability to attract the attention of Master Shangzhen.

So, she walked forward with great dignity, bowed and said, "I am Zuo Xinyi, the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I am honored to meet Master Shang Zhen." Her voice was clear and pleasant, with a hint of confidence and expectation.

However, Master Shangzhen did not seem to hear her words. He swept his eyes through the crowd and finally stopped in front of Feng Yanan. He smiled and said, "Little girl, you are really hard to please!"

This sentence made Zuo Xinyi's heart sink. She felt lost and unwilling. She didn't understand why Master Shangzhen looked at Feng Yanan so differently and ignored her.

At this moment, she maintained her bowed posture, facing the indifference of Master Shangzhen. She could not stand up, nor could she continue to bow. This made her extremely embarrassed in front of everyone. Her hatred for Feng Yanan increased a little.

She took a deep breath and spoke again: "The daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion greets Master Shang Zhen!"

As soon as the words fell, Master Zhen seemed to come back to his senses. He was slightly stunned, then rubbed his ears and said, "Ah? What did you say? The young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion!" He patted his forehead lightly and smiled apologetically, "Alas, I am useless when I get old. My ears don't work well anymore. How rude!"

Although Master Shangzhen's words were full of self-mockery and apology, Zuo Xinyi knew that the old man did it on purpose. She could not hide her unwillingness. Although she was born in a famous family, in the eyes of Master Shangzhen, she seemed to be nothing special. This old immortal actually embarrassed her in front of so many people! Wasn't he deliberately making people laugh at her?

Seeing this, everyone understood. They exchanged glances. It seemed that no matter how noble one's status was, it would not work with Master Shang Zhen. Zuo Xinyi stood there, her face a little pale, she bit her lower lip tightly, as if trying to suppress the frustration and unwillingness in her heart.

Master Shang Zhen looked at everyone and shook his head slightly. He said calmly: "Identity and status are not important to me. I only look at people's qualifications and character. If you are truly kind, you will have other opportunities. Don't force it."
