Perhaps because she had stayed in the other world for too long, Shu He now felt very disgusted with the concept of "superiority and inferiority" in this world, and she didn't like others standing on a superior position and directing her.

She ignored the newcomer, pointed at Nanqi's nose and glared at him fiercely, "Remember this, be polite when you talk to me next time! I'm not your family's cook girl, you need to know some etiquette, okay?!"

Nangong Xiyun was so angry that her face turned red. She was not scolding Nanqi at all. She was just indirectly scolding her for being impolite!

She wanted to scold her, but when she glanced at Baili Moqing standing by the study window with a sullen expression, she had no choice but to suppress her anger and try her best to maintain her gentle and graceful image. "You are wearing the clothes of a cook. If you are not a cook, then who are you?"

"guest!"

Shu He glanced at her. This woman had memories.

Nangong Xiyun, the second daughter of the first-rank general Nangong Zhen, was the most irritating person to the countless people who saw her for the first time at the flower banquet at the prime minister's residence that year.

Shu He still clearly remembers how Nangong Xiyun, upon seeing her, kept pulling at the little sister beside her with both hands, her bright and charming face filled with surprise. "Yuling, Wan'er, am I seeing this right? This is Shu Yue's third sister, Shu He? Why does she look so much like the big fat pig raised on the farm outside my house?"

"There are some differences. The pigs on my farm are fat, but they're all white and tender! But look at her, the pus on her face is about to ooze out! It's too disgusting!"

"Well, do you smell a strange smell? It seems to be coming from her!" Ge Yuling next to Nangong Xiyun also echoed, with a look of unbearable stench on her face.

Their words caused the young ladies from the noble families nearby to cover their faces and burst into laughter. Only Shu He, who seldom appeared in public at that time, felt extremely embarrassed.

"She dares to covet King Dongli! I really don't know where she gets the courage from!"

"It is said that she is going to express her love to King Dongli today. Do you think this is true?"

"If that's true, then King Dongli is too pitiful. If he really gets involved with such an ugly woman, won't he be laughed to death by those with ulterior motives?"

"It is said that Shu He often hangs out in the red-light districts of the capital, and..."

"Ah? Is this true? She can still..."

"Hahaha……"

A cacophony of harsh comments surrounded her, and a group of young ladies and servants looked at her with eyes filled with disgust and revulsion, as if they were poisonous insects and snakes. Later, she squatted on the ground and cried loudly, only to hear Nangong Xiyun's fierce voice again. "You fat bitch, I tell you, if you dare to touch my cousin Mo Qing, I will make you live a life worse than death!"

The fierce and sinister face she had before was still vivid in her mind, but she didn't recognize her gentle and charming appearance at first glance. After more than four years, she had indeed improved a lot.

"Guest?" Nangong Xiyun felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by her. She felt that those cold eyes were familiar. She looked her up and down, "How come I didn't know that you were a guest in the courtyard? Besides, I never knew that guests would have their hair disheveled when visiting other people's homes!"

"There are so many things you don't know. Do I have to tell you everything about this yard? Who are you? Are you the mistress of this place?"

Nangong Xiyun wanted to interrupt, but Shu He didn't give her a chance. "Don't say you're not. Even if you are, there are things in this yard that you should know and things that you shouldn't know. Don't ask around. Curiosity kills the cat!"

Nangong Xiyun was furious, her face turning pale and blue, "You...!"

"Do you know what curiosity kills the cat means?" Shu He fiercely pushed away the hand pointing at her. "It means, don't talk too much about things that don't concern you, and don't be curious. Otherwise, even if you have nine lives like a cat, it won't be enough for you to die!!"

As soon as Shu He finished speaking, the study fell into silence. Except for Nangong Xiyun, everyone else (mainly Nanqi) didn't dare to breathe.

At this moment, Nanqi's heart was like a roller coaster, falling from the clouds into the mud, and then flying from the mud to the clouds, jumping repeatedly, almost reaching a point that he could not bear.

Thousands of words, but all it can be said is: This, this woman, is, too tough!

Rakshasa cannot reflect her temperament, Yaksha is more suitable!

Nangong Xiyun's chest heaved violently with anger, her face turning blue and red, red and blue again. Finally, she looked at Baili Moqing with tears in her eyes, almost crying, "Cousin, Yun'er is being bullied like this, and you, you don't care?"

Shu He rolled her eyes at her. If she were in another world, she would have killed Nangong Xiyun! She hated people who pretended the most!

Baili Moqing placed the book in his hand on his knees. His eyes passed over Nangong Xiyun and fell on Shu He, who looked like he was covered in sharp thorns. After staring at him for a while, he picked up the cold tea on the desk and took a sip. "This person is indeed a guest."

This simple sentence is equivalent to tacitly approving everything Shu He said and did.

Nangong Xiyun's face was full of hurt. She couldn't believe that he would let her suffer such humiliation for an outsider!

Not only her, but even Shu He and Nan Qi were very surprised.

Nanqi: The last person who acted so brazenly in front of the master seems to have vanished without a trace, right? Why is it that this time, it's just been brushed aside so lightly?

Shu He: How come this man is so tolerant now? When he got off her, the look in his eyes was as if he wanted to eat her alive!

Nangong Xiyun couldn't accept it and ran out of the study crying. Nanqi saw her tearful look and felt that Shu He's words were too much! After all, this was their person, how could they let an outsider criticize her like that?

However, before he could utter what he wanted to say, Shu He shot him a glare like a sharp knife, and he could not say anything at all.

Nanqi clenched his fists and cursed himself for being so useless. He looked at Baili Moqing, hoping that his master would give him some instructions so that he would have the confidence to teach that ignorant woman a lesson!

Unfortunately, his master didn't seem to notice his plea for help. No, rather, he ignored his pleading look and instead glared at him silently, as if to say he was not up to the task.

Nanqi felt aggrieved and sat beside Xiaoyi'er's couch sulking.

"Are you from the martial arts world?" Baili Moqing saw that she had a rather dull and yellow hair tied up, and her skinny body was only a few pounds of flesh, which was somewhat consistent with what he said.

Shu He put her hair in place, pulled her clothes in place, and then said slowly, "Forget it."

She has been wandering in another world for thirty years, so she can be said to be in the world of martial arts.

Nanqi glared at Shu He with a sidelong glance. Where's his aura? Where's his temper? Why does he become so obedient the moment he speaks to his master?

He asked again, "Which sect?"

Shu He picked up the porridge that Uncle Zhang had prepared on the table. It was already cold, but that didn't stop her from eating. Without even raising an eyebrow, she replied, "I don't have any school or sect; I'm self-taught."

Nanqi wanted to glare at her again. She called herself "self-taught," but with her mediocre skills, she could only handle a few bandits! And she still had the nerve to call herself "talented"!

Shu He noticed Nan Qi's strange look and turned to look at him. He was pretending to tuck in Xiao Yi'er's quilt. Seeing this, she couldn't help laughing.

In fact, Nanqi is quite cute, but she has a bad temper. If you don't teach her a lesson, she will yell at her for no reason.

"you……"

"Sir, there's no need to ask any more questions, right?"

Baili Moqing wanted to ask something else, but she interrupted him mercilessly. This was the first time he had been treated like this in his life!

"If you ask any more, I'm afraid I'll misunderstand you. After all, even though I'm a mother, if a handsome man like you chooses me, I won't be able to remain a widow no matter how much I want to!"

Shu He finished speaking, watching his expression change from the corner of her eye. For a moment, she felt a little nervous and guilty. Was he going to get furious?

This is the best. She doesn't want to spend too much time with him. What if he accidentally reveals his true identity?

However, before she could see Baili Moqing's transformation, Nanqi jumped out and pointed at her nose, cursing, "You woman, you are so shameless! My master is such a person, how could he fall for a woman like you who is unfaithful to her husband?!"
