However, what the First Elder didnt expect was that when the guards at the door heard the name of the Dongfang family, they only casually sized him up and said coldly, Alright, then you can wait here. After we go in and inform our Master that she has agreed to let you in, you can come in.

With these words, the guards left the bewildered First Elder and briskly went inside the residence to report.

The First Elder, having been snubbed in this indirect manner, took a moment to react, seemingly surprised that he would be treated this way. He dumbfoundedly returned to Dongfang Ruyans side.

Dongfang Ruyan couldnt help but feel worried when she saw the First Elders expression. She quickly asked, First Elder, whats with your expression? Didnt they agree to let us in?

Dongfang Ruyan asked, but she felt that Su Qian wouldnt be so bold as to reject her so openly.

No, that guard said they would inform Su Qian and allow us in later. The First Elder still found it hard to accept. He frowned even harder and narrowed his eyes in displeasure. Eldest Miss, when we went to the Nangong family yesterday, they let us in immediately upon hearing we were from the Dongfang family. How come, at the Su familys gate, we were being stopped?

Dont worry. Theyre just a group of servants. Its normal for them to not know their limits. In any case, Su Qian will let us in in a while, so theres no need for the First Elder to be anxious. Just relax and wait, Dongfang Ruyan spoke with confidence. As she said this, she noticed the guards returning, accompanied by a well-dressed maid.

The maid quickly walked towards them and stood in front of them. She bowed to them with a smile. You must be the Eldest Miss Dongfang?

Yes, thats right, I am. Dongfang Ruyan smiled proudly as she said.

Greetings, Eldest Miss Dongfang. I am Masters personal maid, Qian Rong. Qian Rongs smile was as gentle as ever. She looked at Dongfang Ruyan and said with a faint smile.

Qianqian is really polite. Why bother sending her subordinates to personally welcome us? Actually, as long as the guards lead the way, we can enter by ourselves. Dongfang Ruyan was polite, but her demeanor was very straightforward. She waved at the First Elder beside her with a bright smile, First Elder, lets go.

Seeing Dongfang Ruyan like this, Qian Rong couldnt help but snicker in her heart. However, she maintained a serious expression and said, Eldest Miss Dongfang, Im really sorry. My Master said that she wont be receiving any guests today.

Dongfang Ruyans gentle smile instantly disappeared, replaced by a face of disbelief. She couldnt believe what she had just heard.

What do you mean by that? Dongfang Ruyan tried hard to maintain composure, but the twitching corners of her lips betrayed her inner shock. Miss Qianrong, did you make a mistake? Im Qianqians Aunty and I know her mother. We just met yesterday, how could she not let me in?

There was an endless stream of pedestrians on the street. At this moment, all of them stopped to watch the commotion. All of them whispered to each other, curious about what had happened.

Soon, someone in the crowd couldnt resist looking at the markings drawn on the Dongfang familys carriage..
