  Shen Weiyin didn’t get annoyed and wasn’t in a hurry to leave either. She remained in front of the mirror and continued gazing at the reflection of her exquisite figure. “Mrs. Lu, don’t misunderstand. I just think that the first lunar month birthday of Lu’s great-grandson is very important, so it shouldn’t have been done so shabbily. Otherwise, outsiders will mistakenly think that the Lu’s don’t place any importance on their great-grandson. Or perhaps, it’s because they’re dissatisfied with their daughter-in-law.”


  “The Lu’s treat me very well. You don’t have to worry about that for me Miss Shen. If you really have nothing better to do, why not consider Aunty Zhao’s cousin’s son? I think he’s sure to be very suitable for you.”


  “Do you think Aunty Zhao’s cousin’s son is worthy of me?”


  Ye Zhen didn’t know how there could be such a shameless and rotten romantic pursuer. Really, there must be a hole in her head.

  The Shen’s were a prestigious family. Shen Weiyin was sure to have erudition and self-restraint. How could she be so hopelessly muddled-headed about this sort of thing?

  “Miss Ye, I want to ask you something. How well do you understand the Lu’s? Did you know Grandpa Lu has been married three times?” Shen Weiyin smiled. “Grandpa Lu’s first and second marriage were both arranged alliance marriages. For the sake of his family, he didn’t marry the person that he loved until his third marriage. Although he had fallen in love with her of his own free-will, his third wife also came from an illustrious family. Your mother-in-law’s maiden family was the Lin’s. Before the Lin’s downfall, they were also a prestigious family.”


  Ye Zhen looked at her. “What do you want to say?”


  “Miss Ye, do you understand the meaning of marrying within your own class? Do you think the Ye’s are worthy of the Lu’s?”


  Shen Weiyin said these words smoothly without any hint of bashfulness or remorse. It was in accordance with her style. Anyways, Shen Weiyin’s sheer shamelessness made Ye Zhen look at her with new eyes.

  “So what? It doesn’t matter if I’m worthy or not. I’m already Lu Beichuan’s wife, and we have a child together.” She looked at Shen Weiyin from top to bottom. Her eyes were direct and critical of what she saw. “Miss Shen, you’re a lady from a wellbred family, you should know better. What…… are you that interested in inserting yourself as the third party to a married couple’s relationship?”


  “Miss Ye, you’re really misunderstanding me. I’m just reminding you. The Lu’s are a prominent family, not an ordinary nouveau riche. If you think you can rest easy after giving birth to a son, then I must remind you that Old Master Lu still has sons living in their ancestral home. In powerful families, there’s mutual deception. It’s a dog-eat-dog world. Beichuan was kidnapped several times when he was a child. After your mother-in-law’s maiden family’s decline, she could only watch as her husband had affairs. There was nothing she could do. She didn’t have power or any supporters. She could only endure in the Lu’s. Do you really think it’s that easy to live in a rich and powerful family?”


  Shen Weiyin chucked. “If one day Beichuan loses interest in you and something happens, can your nouveau riche maiden family protect you and your son?”


  This was a blatant threat.

  Ye Zhen silently looked at her. She seemed to be considering something, then she turned around and rummaged through the desk. She finally found a pair of small scissors in a drawer……

  com

  She held that pair of scissors and walked up to Shen Weiyin. She lightly smiled at her, then she snapped the scissors open and nimbly cut a large hole from the waist of Shen Weiyin’s dress to right underneath her chest in one swoop.

  “Sorry Miss Shen, I don’t have any clothes that’s suitable for you to wear.”
