Chapter 271 - The Shrew-Like Lady

Jiang Wei and Mo Chu both stopped in their tracks. Mo Chu was aware of the relationship between Bai Rouyun and Xue Jingyu, so he knew that she would be interested in the news that he could get here.

Jiang Wei, on the other hand, did not know about their connection, but he sensed the interest that rose in her, and he decided to see what was happening.

As a member of the Eternal Shadow Palace, she should, indeed, pay attention to the future madams of various factions, especially the one that reigned supreme in the continent, but he could sense that her interest was more of a personal reason than professional.

It was not only Bai Rouyun who became curious, many of those who had previously been alternating between helping or staying away were suddenly completely convinced that they should help this young woman get revenge, and they crowded towards her in hope of leaving a positive impression on her.

Many began to speak up for the servants, as they hoped that they could help them in the future, and soon the young lady found out that it was Bai Rouyun's carriage that was the reason for her crash.

The young woman was unreasonable and egocentric. She felt that the world should turn around her, that she was the most important character in the world.

While many of the unsuspecting people on the road were certain that Bai Rouyun could never have an identity as powerful as this woman, they all began to curse and swear at her, while the members of Bai Rouyuns entourage were cowering in the side of the road, not daring to take any sides..

While the others did not know, they were perfectly clear of Bai Rouyun's identity.

Yes, this young woman might be the future madam of the Shitian Tower, but that was merely a future madam. As to whether or not she could cling onto that position in the future was not known, while Bai Rouyun was already married to the Eternal Shadow Lord.

The crowd was getting more and more rowdy as they thought of this young lady's identity, and some even took a few steps towards Bai Rouyun's carriage with the intent of threatening her to apologize and to make amendments.

Unfortunately, the experts of the Eternal Shadow Palace would never allow them to get near their madam. Due to the previous display of power by Jiang Wei, they also felt somewhat challenged, so the moment a few experts stepped towards the carriage, a group of twenty experts appeared from the shadows.

The experts from the Eternal Shadow Palace had surrounded the carriage in a protective circle, and all of them drew their weapons. The undisguised and fierce killing intent that was unleashed caused all the ordinary experts to stumble backward in fear.

Even so, the young lady did not care about them. From the beginning and until now, she had not said anything about punishing Bai Rouyun for not clearing out the road. Instead, all her anger was focused on her servants, which caused a bit of confusion.

Such a person was extremely rare. Usually, if an arrogant and selfish person encountered this situation, they would instantly look for a scapegoat, and that person should not have anything to do with her, but this woman clearly put all the blame on her personal staff, instead of a complete stranger.

What was even more confusing was that these servants seemed extremely used to her behavior, and while her words were harsh and extremely brutal, she was not physically abusing them.

Such behavior made Bai Rouyun intrigued. Everything she had seen so far pointed towards this young woman being another hedonistic young lady, but her actions were quite different from the norm.

Due to this, Bai Rouyun became increasingly curious and slowly stepped out of the carriage. The members of the Eternal Shadow Palace all felt that it was time to announce her identity, so all of them dropped down on one knee when she appeared, and called out with a respectful voice, "Madam!"

Due to the internal strength of these experts, the voices were reverberating through the heavens and earth, causing the grounds to tremble slightly, and the crowd to feel fear.

Even the angry young lady stopped her steady stream of curses to look towards the origin of the sound, and what she witnessed made her eyes brighten.

"Look at that! That is how a young woman is supposed to carry herself! I already told you all that we have to be elegant and admirable, but you said that the best way was to intimidate others and show off our prestige! Look at what happened, our carriage is broken and the beasts are hurt. Is this really the best solution? When you compare me to that young lady over there, it is clear that I am a cheap knockoff that only pretends, while she is inherently noble!"

The words were direct and stunning. Even Bai Rouyun, who had expected the young lady to be an unreasonable and weird lady, had not expected this answer.

So, the reason that she was scolding the servants was not due to them being easy targets, but because she felt that they had been doing something wrong.

It was, according to her, their decision to drive so recklessly, and it was also them who had caused the accident. In the end, they had destroyed the image she had worked hard to establish, and thus her shrew-like personality was released undisguised.

Such a person was very different from normal, but for some reason, Bai Rouyun did not dislike her.
