Dad, open the door. I'll bring your mistress back for you.

Chapter 165 As long as she is not the wife, she is a concubine

"Are you the poor guy who was abandoned by your own parents?" Wang Ruolan looked at Shen Chuning with a smug look on her face, her eyes full of sarcasm.

Shen Chuning narrowed her eyes slightly, staring coldly at the woman in front of her, and said in a cold voice: "Who do you think you are? How dare you talk to me like that?"

Before she finished her words, Shen Chuning suddenly raised her hand and slapped Wang Ruolan hard in the face.

The crisp and loud sound of slapping echoed in the air, stunning everyone present.

Wang Ruolan covered her face with her hands, her eyes widened in disbelief, tears welled up in her eyes, her lips trembled and she couldn't speak.

"Lan'er! What's wrong with you?" When Mrs. Song heard the noise, she hurried over to check on her daughter.

When she saw the redness and swelling on Wang Ruolan's cheeks, she felt so distressed that tears almost fell from her eyes.

Song hugged Wang Ruolan tightly and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, Lan'er. Mom is here. Mom won't let anyone bully you!"

After she finished speaking, she turned around and glared at Shen Chuning and Yun Shuxuan, demanding, "What do you mean by this?"

Yun Shuxuan chuckled and said in a mocking tone, "Song, you are so arrogant that you even dare to teach my daughter a lesson?"

Song was so angry that she was shaking all over. She pointed at Yun Shuxuan and shouted, "Mrs. Shen, is this the rule of the Shen family?"

Yun Shuxuan raised a disdainful smile at the corner of his mouth, "We in the Shen family don't teach the kind of rules where you just let someone come to your door and not fight back or curse back."

Shen Chuning quickly walked in front of Yun Shuxuan and blocked Song's fiery gaze.

"I was the one who beat him up, so you don't have to find fault with my mother. Besides, my rules were not taught by the Shen family. I learned them in the palace. What's the matter, Concubine Song, do you have any objections?"

Song glared at Shen Chuning with gritted teeth, her eyes spitting fire, "I am the Wang family's concubine!"

Shen Chuning smiled calmly and nodded in understanding, "Oh, I see. But in my opinion, even if the children born to a concubine are considered legitimate, as long as they are not the principal wife, they are all concubines."

"You...you..." Song pointed at Shen Chuning and was speechless for a long time.

Shen Chuning reached out and slapped her outstretched hand away. "What do you mean by 'you'? The reason you're making such a scene today is because you used to live in the East Courtyard and Madam Wang lived in the West Courtyard, right?"

"Why, after living in the East Courtyard for a few days, do you really think you're superior to the principal wife?"

"Not only did he show off his power in the Wang family, but he also came to our Shen family to attack him."

"If you have the guts, go home and find Lord Wang and ask him to build you another house outside. Not to mention the east courtyard, even if you live on the beams of the main house, no one will say anything to you."

After Shen Chuning finished speaking, she turned to Wang Ruolan again, "No matter why I was adopted, I was the legitimate daughter of the main wife before I was adopted, and I am still the legitimate daughter of the main wife after I was adopted, and I am the only legitimate daughter in each case, and you..."

As Shen Chuning spoke, she also imitated Wang Ruolan's way of looking her up and down, "Look at what she's wearing on her head, it's the same style as two years ago, and the sleeves of her dress are two inches shorter. Could it be that Miss Wang has grown too fast and hasn't had time to make new clothes yet?"

Shen Chuning understood best what angered people who cared too much about their status, so she deliberately mocked them.

"You actually said I was poor! My father is the governor of Shandong, and my grandfather is the governor of the grain transport system!" Wang Ruolan widened her eyes and looked at Shen Chuning angrily, trying to use her family background to suppress the other party.

Shen Chuning, however, didn't take it seriously. She glanced at Wang Ruolan with disdain, then chuckled softly, "Oh, I see. But Miss Wang, before you come and show off your power, can you please find out more about the other party? My father is the Governor of Shandong, as you know, just half a rank higher than your father. Moreover, not only was my grandfather the Prime Minister, I also have a great-aunt who is the Empress Dowager in the palace. Isn't that infuriating?"

Hearing these words, Wang Ruolan's face turned pale instantly.

But she was unwilling to show weakness, so she gritted her teeth and snorted coldly, continuing to be stubborn and said, "Shen Chuning, don't get carried away! This is Shandong, you'd better think before you speak or act."

However, Shen Chuning was not intimidated by her threats.

She smiled calmly, rubbed her ears, and asked in surprise, "Oh, I can't hear you clearly. What did you say just now? Oh, right, you said this is Shandong, right? So what? All under heaven belongs to the king, and all the people are his subjects. Does that mean Shandong can break the king's laws? Is your father going to rebel?"

After saying that, Shen Chuning laughed out loud again, her eyes full of teasing and mockery.

Wang Ruolan was so angry that she was shaking all over and couldn't utter a word.

Song said from the side: "Miss Shen, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. How dare you, a little girl, slander an official appointed by the court?"

"Song Ping's wife, it's obviously your daughter who speaks without restraint. What does it have to do with our Aning?" Yun Shuxuan said coldly.

Song: "In all of Shandong, who doesn't respectfully address me as Madam Wang?"

Yun Shuxuan: "You didn't like being called Concubine Song, insisting you were a concubine. Now that I'm calling you Concubine Song, you're being picky again. If you have the time to waste arguing with me, why don't you go back and ask your master to make you a real Lady Wang, so we can call you that."

"You..." Song wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Yun Shuxuan's voice, "Zhenzhu, show the guest out."

As she spoke, she took Shen Chuning's hand and walked towards the inner room. Shen Chuning looked back at Song and others, then left with Yun Shuxuan.

Zhenzhu stood there, looked at the three Song family members and said, "Please come in!"

Song and her two daughters had no choice but to leave first.

"Mother, the Shen family mother and daughter are too arrogant. They actually dare to speak to you like that." Wang Ruolan said dissatisfiedly.

"Yes, mother, how could she do this?" Wang Ruoju echoed.

"Hmph, shut up!" Song glared at them fiercely, then said, "You two should stay away from Shen Chuning from now on. Don't let her get hold of anything against you. Also, you must find a way to marry into the royal family as soon as possible. Once you become imperial concubines, we'll see who dares to look down on us."

"Yes, mother." Wang Ruolan and Wang Ruoju answered in unison.

……

"Mother, do you think Aning is too aggressive?" Shen Chuning asked with her head down.

Yun Shuxuan took her hand and said with a smile, "How could that be? Mother actually felt that you were too reserved in the capital. This is just right."

Shen Chuning's eyes lit up, and she asked uncertainly, "Mom, don't you blame me for causing trouble?"

Yun Shuxuan: "How can this be considered trouble? Your every word and action now represents the Shen family. If you act timidly today and let others bully you, you will lose face for the Shen family and cause trouble."
