Upon arriving at the doorstep of the Qian Family, Gu Chaoyan spoke in a composed manner.

The Qian Familys gatekeeper couldnt possibly be unaware of Shen Lianxues ident.i.ty. An expression of disdain immediately crept onto his face. This woman had the audacity to return once more.

Lady Shen, youve already terminated the engagement with our Young Master, so please refrain from bothering him any further. You are a lady, and you should conduct yourself with dignity. Our Qian Family may be fine, but your actions will only bring shame upon your Shen Family, the gatekeeper declared loudly, not hesitating to humiliate Shen Lianxue in front of the onlookers who frequented the Qian Familys gates.

Numerous people were pa.s.sing by the entrance, and they watched with interest, their eyes filled with amus.e.m.e.nt at Shen Lianxues predicament. After all, Shen Lianxue was considered a lady of a wealthy family, and commoners enjoyed witnessing such highborn individuals facing difficulties. Gu Chaoyan glanced around, unfazed by the public spectacle.

She had grown accustomed to it.

The Shen Family had subjected Shen Lianxue to such treatment, so she didnt expect any better from the Qian Family or these bystanders.

Taking a step forward, Gu Chaoyan a.s.serted herself, You are but a servant, what right do you have to address me in such a manner? Is this the conduct befitting the Qian Family?

Its no surprise, really, Gu Chaoyan continued, considering that the Qian Familys Young Master is a deceiver. Its only natural that even the servants would adopt his demeanor.

Ever since I terminated the engagement with the Qian Family, I had no intention of setting foot in this place again, Gu Chaoyan went on. But your Young Master absconded with many of my belongings and severed the engagement. Im unsure if I even need to reclaim them. Is the Qian Family in such dire straits?

Ive come here today to request something, Gu Chaoyan declared firmly. If the Qian Family returns what belongs to me, I will depart, and we will have no further obligations toward each other.

Gu Chaoyans words were direct and unwavering.

Her statement triggered a flurry of discussions among the onlookers. Initially, they had a.s.sumed that the Shen familys seemingly foolish girl was unwilling to let go of the advantageous alliance with Young Master Qian and had come to stir up trouble.

Now, it appeared she was here to demand something, adding a new layer of intrigue to the situation.

The crowd, having witnessed Shen Lianxues previous visits to the Qian Family to cause disruptions, had grown somewhat weary of the repet.i.tive spectacle. This unexpected turn of events injected fresh excitement into the scene.

Why isnt the Qian Familys young master returning the girls belongings? Go and inform your young master to come out and return her things, a bystander suggested, emboldened by the crowds presence. With so many witnesses, even if they took advantage of the situation, they believed that the Qian Family wouldnt dare to retaliate later.

The gatekeepers expression soured considerably.

Shen Lianxue had previously been submissive to the Qian Family, going to great lengths to secure her marriage to their young master. She even feared offending the gatekeeper. Their audacity stemmed from their perception of her docile nature.

However, the tables had now turned.

Shen Lianxue had transformed the dynamics with the Qian Family, and a curious crowd had gathered to witness the unfolding drama.

The gatekeeper was acutely aware that they were ill-equipped to handle the current situation. With a heavy sigh, he reluctantly dispatched a messenger to inform their young master and request his intervention.

Qian Ziang, meanwhile, remained unperturbed. Upon hearing that Shen Lianxue was outside, he had no desire to engage with her.

The gatekeeper relayed the situation with a tinge of helplessness, Young Master, Shen Lianxue claims you have her possessions and havent returned them. Shes causing a scene, and there are many spectators. If you dont go out, it may be challenging to resolve this matter..
