Rong Qi frowned and exchanged a glance with Mrs. Hong before allowing the visitor to enter. The visitor was a middle-aged woman in her fifties, her hair meticulously combed, exuding an air of haughtiness.

“So, it’s Meng Fu. What brings you here?” Mrs. Hong was the first to speak.

Meng Fu was related to Mrs. Ye Sr., a distant cousin. After becoming a widow, Meng Fu had always stayed by Mrs. Ye Sr.’s side. In the Ye residence, she held significant influence among the servants, and almost everyone showed her respect.

Mrs. Hong, especially due to the special status of Clearcreek Mansion, usually maintained cordial relations with others.

From the moment Meng Fu entered, her gaze was fixed on Rong Qi, and with a cold huff, she spoke in a shrill voice, “So you are Master Shen’s new wife?”

Meng Fu’s tone lacked any respect.

Mrs. Hong frowned upon hearing that. She thought, ‘We are both servants and even though Meng Fu is a relative of Mrs. Ye Sr., did that give her the right to look down upon our Madam? Meng Fu’s demeanor clearly showed she did not regard our Madam with any respect.’

Mrs. Hong’s fingers tightened, ready to retort, but then Meng Fu spoke again, this time addressing Mrs. Hong directly.

“And you, having served the Ye family for so many years, don’t you understand any rules? Mrs. Ye Sr. has returned, and your Madam wasn’t there to greet her. If word gets out, it would seem as though Master Shen is dissatisfied with Mrs. Ye Sr.”

Mrs. Hong was left speechless and flushed with anger.

Rong Qi raised her eyebrows slightly and said, “Mrs. Ye Sr. returned without notifying us. If word gets out, it might seem as though Mrs. Ye Sr. dislikes Shen and deliberately excludes us.”

“You!” Meng Fu, taken aback by being rebuffed, huffed coldly, “Sharp-tongued and pretty-faced, of course, I and Mrs. Ye Sr. wouldn’t like someone like you!”

“Hmm,” Rong Qi nodded in agreement, with a light chuckle, “But what does your liking have to do with me? I don’t need your approval. Keeping quiet is what you should be doing.”

Before Meng Fu could argue back, Rong Qi continued, “It seems I’m faintly witnessing Mrs. Ye Sr.’s grace for the first time from someone close to her. Hmm, quite a face-saver for her. Even if I’m not much, I am still the mistress of Clearcreek Mansion, and it’s not for a dog to bark wildly here. Those who know might think you’re just a servant; those who don’t might mistake you for Shen’s mother, overstepping your bounds on his territory.”

At those words, Meng Fu’s expression turned vicious and roared, “Who are you calling a dog?!”

Rong Qi’s face bore a faint smile, offering no response. But the more she remained calm, the more lowly Meng Fu appeared.

Unable to outtalk Rong Qi, Meng Fu turned her ire towards Mrs. Hong, “Is this how you indulge her? Letting her be so unruly and impudent?”

Mrs. Hong, who initially intended to keep the peace, now lost her patience. The people of Clearcreek Mansion didn’t seek trouble, but they weren’t afraid of it either. They always maintained a policy of mutual respect with people from the Ye residence. But now that they were being stepped on, Mrs. Hong couldn’t remain courteous.

Mrs. Hong replied with a feigned smile, “Our Madam is the mistress of Clearcreek Mansion. Indulging her is Master Shen’s wish. If you have any objections, why not raise them directly with him?”

As if to say, ‘See if you don’t get squashed.’

Meng Fu, watching the back and forth between Mrs. Hong and Rong Qi, was seething with anger, huffing coldly, “I won’t argue with you anymore. Anyway, the people of Clearcreek Mansion have always been without manners. I am here to inform you that Mrs. Ye Sr. wishes to see her. Hurry up and get ready, follow me, and don’t delay. We shouldn’t keep Mrs. Ye Sr. waiting..”
