Chapter 5: Arrogant Guards

“Who are you guys? Keep away from the gate of the Prime Minister’s residence.” Just after the carriage stopped, the guards on both sides of the red gate immediately came forward and shouted.

Shen Ninghua couldn’t help sneering. Such an insult was too low. It couldn’t be her stepmother Zhao Yunxiang. She wondered who had instructed these two guards to play rough with her.

“How dare you be so arrogant! The First Miss is here. Back off !” Hong Ling relentlessly rebuked.

One of the guards laughed: “Today, the First Miss is having a party. She has not been out of the mansion. Where has Second Miss come out? Who is pretending to be a miss of the Shen family, get off the carriage and let us have a look!”

Hardly had the guard finished his words when the curtain of the carriage was slowly lifted. A girl in pale bluish-white got out of the carriage, placed a footstool on the ground, and respectfully led a girl dressed in pale blue down the carriage.

Shen Ninghua looked up. The guard looked both ferocious and disdainful, but was soon shocked by Shen Ninghua’s appearance when she got off the carriage. He was stunned for a long time before regaining his presence of mind.

Shen Ninghua noticed the evasiveness in the guard’s eyes and looked calmly and aloofly towards him.

The guard was shocked. Stared by Shen Ninghua’s dark eyes, a chilling coldness crept down his spine. He abruptly lowered his head to avoid the eye contact. He had received a message earlier that Miss Shen was returning home. He just tried to embarrass her as instructed by the Second Young Master of the family, Shen Xuanlin. But he forgot that Shen Ninghua was afterall a Miss, no matter how unfavored she was in the family.

“I have sent a message to my father and mother earlier. I have arrived half a day earlier because I missed my family too much. It’s natural that you have doubts in your mind. However, my mother has always been thoughtful. I think she should have made some arrangements.” Shen Ninghua said with a smile. If they still refuse to let her in, Zhao Yunxiang would naturally be the one to blame.

“What message? We have never received any message. You are obviously bluffing and cheating, and you have been so noisy in front of the gate of the Prime Minister’s residence. Let’s take these imposters down and give them 20 strokes.” Since they had offended her, they must try their best to please the madam and young master. Even if this young girl was really a daughter of the family, it was unlikely that she was able to stand out in the Prime Minister’s residence because she had been away for so long.

As soon as the guard finished his words, a dozen people came out of the corner door and rushed towards Shen Ninghua and her maids, holding sticks in their hands. It was clear that they had been waiting there for a long time.

“Qing Que, show them something to let them know who I am. I’ve never heard that the daughter of the family should receive strokes from servants.” Shen Ninghua frowned and said in a cold voice.

Qing Que nodded respectfully, and looked around indifferently. Shen Ninghua was the first person she saw after she came back to life. Shen Ninghua had saved her and she was ready to sacrifice her life for Shen Ninghua. Therefore, she had always faithfully carried out Shen Ninghua’s orders.

Seeing a guard waving a stick and rushing towards her, Qing Que leaped up. She took advantage of the force of the stick and kicked the guard in the chest with the tip of her foot, knocking him off to the ground. Then, before the guard was able to make any reactions, she stepped on his arm with one foot, breaking his arm in a snap.

“Ah… My hand…”

“Those who dared to raise their hands against the Miss didn’t deserve to have hands!” With a sneer, Qing Que did the same thing and kicked all the other servants to the ground. After a while, she relaxed her wrists, glanced at the corner door, and kicked away a servant on the ground. “Bang!” His body flew out and hit the gate.

Nanny Zhou, who was hiding behind the gate, almost fell to the ground. Who gave Shen Ninghua the courage to fight at the gate of the Shen family? She looked up in panic and found that Shen Ninghua was smiling at her, which sent a chill down her spine.

“How dare you rude servants keep the Miss out of the gate. Back off !” Nanny Zhou ran out quickly, her face full of apologies. “Miss, welcome back home! You must have suffered a lot for the past half a year. It was really the fault of these servants failing to recognize you. I’ll report to the Madam to punish them. You guys, open the door to welcome the Miss in. Miss, the Madam has already arranged for someone to clean your residence, so that you can move in right now.”

Shen Ninghua was so beautiful now. Did she really detoxify her poison?

Shen Ninghua looked at the woman walking out of the half-closed corner door. It rung the bell. The woman was Nanny Zhou, one of the most trusted assistants of her stepmother Zhao Yunxiang. She was most tactful in pleasing her Madam, and had a very vicious heart. Her words sounded kind, meanwhile, they would be misinterpreted by outsiders who didn’t know what had happened. After all, how could a Miss from a renowned family suffer a lot when she was away from home for half a year?

What’s more, God knows when Zhao Yunxiang would punish these servants. Did she think that she could fool her like a child? Looking at the guards who had different expressions on their faces, Shen Ninghua said, “I’m grateful for mother’s arrangement. Qing Que, take the luggages in.” She just got back, no hurry for revenge. Let’s do it step by step.

“Yes, miss.” Qing Que answered with a crisp voice. She went to the carriage, took out two big wooden boxes, and then strode towards the main gate.

“The side door has been opened, and the main entrance is for distinguished guests…” Again, the guard who had taken instructions from Shen Xuanlin wanted to humiliate them. Qing Que narrowed her eyes, lifted the box and hit the guard’s chest with it just like accidently.” My Miss is the legitimate daughter of the Shen family. She would never walk through the side door. Get out of my way!”

The guard’s face turned pale at once. The seemingly light stroke left him in great pain as if his bones were broken. He covered his chest with his hands and stepped back immediately.

Qing Que smiled contemptuously. Without any dramatic movement, she pushed forward the box, and the heavy gate was hit open.

There were a Kirin on each side of the thick red gate, and a horizontal inscribed board conferred by the emperor hung up high. Through the two red gates, one can see the exquisite and beautiful scenery in the mansion. However, Shen Ninghua only sensed a scent of a bloodbath.

Bai Ruo and Bi Zhu went forward and knelt on th ground respectfully, “Miss, this way.”

Shen Ninghua glanced over Nanny Zhou, who had an awkward expression, and slowly walked into the mansion with her four maids.

In the attic not far away, Chu Junyi’s face was full of smile, “This black girl was reborn… I guess things in the Shen family will be more and more interesting.”

After walking a few steps, Shen Ninghua frowned slightly. She thoughtfully looked back in Chu Junyi’s direction, pinched the sachet in her sleeve and smiled slightly. As she walked, an ocean blue tassel was revealed.

Chu Jun Yi’s smile froze suddenly. It was clear that the tassel was the one he used to tie the jade pendant. Had she noticed him?
