At this point, everyone’s eyes turned to Shen Chen.

He nodded lightly.

Ye Zhi was not satisfied with the young man’s slight nod and shouted, "What? You just don’t want everyone to know I’m your fiancée? Otherwise, we can cancel the engagement. There are plenty of people wanting to marry me, Ye Zhi, lined up outside the city, no need to force you, Champion Scholar."

Qin Yin couldn’t help but defend his master, "Third Miss, the master is willing, don’t misunderstand him."

On Shen Chen’s side, his subordinate spoke up, while on the Ye Family’s side, Ming Yan was not to be outdone: "It’s strange, the husband-in-law became the Champion Scholar, is shining bright, yet he sees less of our young lady, I wonder what the reason is."

"That’s because Mr. Shen is busy."

Ming Yan’s eyes, like autumn water, gently narrowed, lazily looking towards him: "But that’s not a reason to neglect his fiancée, moreover, that Ling Que clings to husband-in-law closely, without a hint of suspicion, in theory, she shouldn’t be residing in the mansion."

"This, this..." Qin Yin was speechless.

Because she is the close maid of the future quasi-mistress, he didn’t know how to respond.

The mistress has yet to enter the house, and if this argument continues, it would hurt harmony, which is not good.

For a moment, he was at a loss for words.

Shen Chen raised his deep, dark eyes and said lightly, "Where my people live, you have no right to manage." His tone was three parts casual and seven parts authoritative.

Ming Yan dared not confront this husband-in-law, she instantly shrank back behind the lady.

Like a mouse seeing a cat.

She was just venting for her young lady, after all, following behind her for years, she had roughly understood her ways.

Ye Zhi was furious, seeing her maid being scolded in front of her, and all because of another woman...

"I don’t feel at ease with her in your mansion. Who knows if you two aren’t involved in some affair? I’m telling you, Shen Chen, if I find out you’re messing with another woman, I’ll definitely make you experience the might of my Luoyan Spear."

Finally, she added resentfully:

"Don’t bully Ming Yan again; she’s only looking out for me. Is it too much to ask about a cold beauty in your mansion? How about I find a handsome man to live in my Qingyi Garden?"

At worst, we’ll go our separate ways, who fears whom.

Her unreasonable trouble-seeking made Shen Chen’s solitary eyebrows slightly furrow.

Under the master’s cold and deep demeanor, Qin Yin had never seen anyone dare speak like this in front of Mr. Shen. The Ye Family’s Third Miss could be said to be the first...

He wanted to applaud her, simultaneously acknowledging that the future quasi-mistress had quite a temper!

Her personality, it seems, is somewhat fiery...

Ye Zhi secretly took a breath, calmed her mood, and tentatively asked, "When I marry in the future and take charge, if I send Ling Que out to live, would you oppose? Any objections?"

"None, all up to you." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

She asked again, "Then after I marry into your Shen Mansion, will I be in charge, and even he must listen to me?"

She pointed with her slender hand, directly towards Qin Yin standing by.

The man being pointed at looked innocently towards the master.

Shen Chen’s expression did not change, he said lightly, "Yes, these small matters are best managed by you."

His willingness to agree made Ye Zhi’s happiness soar, she tilted her chin proudly and said:

"My personality is just like this, you should have known when you asked my mother for marriage, also, you’re not allowed to meet with Liu Qingxi, keep your distance from Ling Que, anyway, keep those flowers and plants at a distance, you told my mother no concubine would be taken, I am the only wife, then I don’t need to be polite with you."
