Chapter 513: Don't Get Blown Away by the Wind

Enduring Winter could no longer bear it and was about to voice her complaint when she saw Shen Yuanzhen grab another bowl, preparing to throw it at her. She hurriedly stepped back in fright.

Everyone in the mansion knew Fifth Young Master's temper; he was a little terror. Once he got going, he wouldn’t stop until he had his way, and even the other masters in the mansion couldn't easily calm him down. Of course, they generally indulged him.

In her moment of hesitation, she suddenly heard Su Youyue's light voice say, "Put it down."

Before Enduring Winter could react, she saw Fifth Young Master swiftly put down the bowl and even place it back in its original spot.

She could hardly believe what she was seeing.

Fifth Young Master was in the middle of a tantrum, but with just a single word, Young Miss Su had successfully controlled him and calmed his anger?

This... Even Second Miss would have to sweet-talk him for a few sentences before Fifth Young Master would reluctantly stop throwing a fit.

What on earth was going on?

While Enduring Winter was still in shock, Su Youyue sighed in relief.

This brat, throwing bowls whenever he wanted—did he think her shadow guards had nothing better to do than clean up after him?

Seeing that the maid was still stunned, Su Youyue urged, "Shen Yuanzhen, you can leave now."

It was indeed getting late, and it was time to attend the banquet.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuanzhen quickly stood up, but just as he rose, he hesitated and said, "Sister, can I come again next time?"

He thought Su Youyue was angry because he had thrown the bowl and didn’t want him to come back.

Su Youyue had no such intention and nodded slightly.

Shen Yuanzhen's eyes lit up, and he tried to rush into Su Youyue's arms, but halfway through, he found himself unable to move. Looking up, he realized that Su Youyue had stopped him by holding his head in her hand.

"Go back and get ready to head to the Duke's mansion."

Su Youyue's mouth twitched slightly.

She hadn’t expected that by letting him eat a few meals here, he’d get so attached to her, like a little puppy that had been fed and now wanted to stick by her side.

"Aww, sis," Shen Yuanzhen said, a little disappointed, but it seemed he had consoled himself in an instant and happily agreed before running out.

Xiao Linzi quickly followed him, and as he passed Enduring Winter, he reminded her, "Sister Enduring Winter, Fifth Young Master has been coming here frequently to eat with Young Miss."

He didn’t dare scold the maid next to Second Miss, but this reminder was meant to tell Enduring Winter that Fifth Young Master liked coming here now. If she came with that attitude again and Fifth Young Master saw it, he might throw a tantrum.

Enduring Winter understood the implication. Her face darkened, gave Su Youyue a resentful glance, and ran back.

"Miss, if the Shen family learns that Fifth Young Master’s been coming here to eat all the time, won't they come to cause trouble again?" Qingluo asked with a frown.

Su Youyue shook her head. "It's fine. You think I'm afraid of them?"

After the upcoming chrysanthemum banquet, I plan to leave the Shen family anyway, so letting the boy come to eat a few more meals is no big deal.

Although the Shen family had a few tricks up their sleeves, the problem was, I’m not the real Miss Shen. Whatever they throw at me, I won’t be afraid.

As for Shen Zhuyu, she’s all talk and no action.

Qingluo thought about it and realized that Su Youyue was right. Ever since they entered the Shen family, they had indeed suffered some grievances on the surface. But when you thought about it, had anyone from the Shen family actually succeeded in making Miss suffer?

This could only be thanks to Lady Su. If it were actually our young miss and myself, we would have been so intimidated by this family that we wouldn’t even be able to speak up!

She felt a small sense of satisfaction, as if she had helped the young miss get some revenge.

After tidying up, the three set off together. Zhe Ying locked the door and followed along.

Outside, Enduring Winter didn’t hide anything. As soon as she arrived in front of the Shen family members, she relayed everything she had just seen and heard.

"What? Why is Xiao Wu eating at that woman's place?" Shen Yuansong frowned.

Shen Yuanyang was also puzzled, but since he was solely focused on wanting to duel with the mysterious expert by that woman’s side, he remained silent.

Shen Yuanfeng, who had been wearing a cheerful expression, immediately clouded over upon hearing Nannan's name.

Madam Fang, on the other hand, seemed to relax a bit. "Hehe, now she knows that as an older sister, she should take care of her younger brother."

Too bad it’s too late. That fool only now realizes her position and wants to curry favor with the family? It’s too late! If she manages to catch the eye of Lord Yuwen and Lady Lu today, that’s for the best. If not, when she returns, I won’t tolerate her for a moment longer and will settle the score once and for all!

Shen Yuanfeng spoke coldly, "Mother, we should stop Xiao Wu from eating at Shen Nannan's place. She harbors resentment towards our family. Who knows what she might put in Xiao Wu's food?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Fang widened her eyes, "She dares!"

But deep down, she was indeed fearful of this possibility. After exhaling twice, she directly ordered, "Nanny Liang, from today onwards, make sure Xiao Wu doesn’t go to the Phoenix Courtyard again."

Nanny Liang was secretly muttering to herself, having neglected to handle the matter of bringing back the young miss's maid these past two days. If my lady were to remember, there would be trouble. Hearing this, she secretly rejoiced and agreed.

Just then, Su Youyue had already arrived with her entourage.

As soon as Madam Fang saw her, she became angry. "Nannan, this is your first time attending a banquet since arriving in the Holy City. It’s your public debut, yet you’ve brought these misshapen and unsightly servants with you. Not only that, but why are you wearing a veil? It will look ridiculous to others!"

Which family’s young master or miss would bring blind and mute servants as personal attendants? It’s embarrassing to take them out. Yet she not only keeps them by her side but also covers their faces.

With their faces covered, how could Lady Lu be satisfied if she can’t see them?

Master Shen’s face darkened. "Didn’t I tell you to get rid of this blind man? Why are you still keeping him?"

No way! How could he let such a supreme expert leave? He wanted to enshrine him! Even if they couldn’t get on good terms, if they angered him, what if he came to slash them?

He was truly worried about the entire family. Even Yuanyang, who was usually the most disobedient, knew to show filial respect now. As for that daughter born to that lowly woman, if she isn’t filial, then so be it. After all, she’s just a girl.

Seeing Master Shen board the carriage, Madam Fang flicked her sleeves. "You can keep those two, but this face represents the honor of the Shen family. If you haven’t removed that veil by the time we reach Lord Yuwen’s residence, I’ll have Nanny Liang take it off for you. Don’t blame me for not showing you any respect!"
