Qiutang Yu'er agrees to cook for Su Changfeng in exchange for shelter. As they prepare to eat, a maid from the Shen family arrives, summoning Su Changfeng at Shen Rushuang's request. Su Changfeng is hesitant, feeling he owes the Shen family nothing and confused by Shen Rushuang's desire to see him, especially after Qiutang Yu'er vehemently opposes it.

Upon hearing this, Su Changfeng frowned. Could he have unintentionally exposed his strength, discovered by Shen Rushuang? If that’s the case, Shen Rushuang’s unusual behavior could naturally be explained.

A woman like her would likely be unable to accept that he’s a master, so acting strangely would be normal. She might even want to take him back to the Shen Family, but for Su Changfeng, his time at the Shen Family was just an inconsequential experience; he had no special feelings about it.

"Tell Shen Rushuang that we no longer have any relations, so there’s no need to see each other." Su Changfeng waved his hand, indicating she could leave.

Seeing the maid hesitating to leave, Qiutang Yu’er stood up; she walked directly to the maid and said haughtily, "Why are you still here?"

The maid was born into the Shen Family and was Shen Rushuang’s stand-in, so she hadn’t encountered much disrespect, let alone being treated like this by a young girl. Her anger couldn’t be contained.

"Who do you think you are, daring to speak to me like this?" The maid glared icily at Qiutang Yu’er.

Although Qiutang Yu’er was still a little girl, she hailed from the Qiutang Clan, and inherently carried an air of pride. Besides, she didn’t harbor any goodwill towards this maid who threatened her.

Moreover, she saw clearly that the maid looked at Su Changfeng with a disdainful gaze, as if speaking with Su Changfeng lowered her status. Such a posture was really irritating.

Smack!

Qiutang Yu’er raised her hand and slapped the maid, the sharp sound echoing. Her voice was cold as she said, "I’ll say it again, leave immediately, or don’t blame me for being rude."

The maid was stunned, looking at Qiutang Yu’er in shock, never expecting that Qiutang Yu’er would actually hit her.

"You pesky girl, I won’t let you off, just wait!" The maid said through gritted teeth.

Qiutang Yu’er raised her hand again, seeming ready to discipline the maid thoroughly. Seeing she was serious, the maid turned and ran away.

After teaching the maid a lesson, Qiutang Yu’er returned to the dining table and continued eating. However, the atmosphere around them indeed grew tense.

"What exactly is your relationship with the lady she mentioned?" After some time, Qiutang Yu’er couldn’t help but ask Su Changfeng, a slight hint of jealousy in her tone.

"We were once married, but we have no relationship. I was merely a shield for Shen Rushuang." Su Changfeng replied.

"Are you sure you were just a shield?" Qiutang Yu’er looked at Su Changfeng doubtfully.

Su Changfeng put down his bowl and chopsticks, looked at her blankly, and said, "What does this have to do with you? You seem to have no right to interfere in my affairs."

Qiutang Yu’er pursed her lips; she indeed had no rights since they had no relationship. Yet, the thought of Su Changfeng having ties with another woman made her uncomfortable, as if the thing she liked was being taken away.

"You can only be involved with me; I won’t allow you to be entangled with other women." Qiutang Yu’er said.

"By the way, there’s something I haven’t told you. I already have a wife, and even a child." Su Changfeng said with a smile. Although Shen Hanxue, Su, and Ye Nianhai are not from the Tianyuan Continent, Su Changfeng knew he’d always have only one wife, and that he’d only be loyal to Shen Hanxue.

Qiutang Yu’er’s face immediately turned pale; she never imagined Su Changfeng was already married and even had a child.

However, her emotions soon settled. After all, on the Tianyuan Continent, men could have many wives, so whether Su Changfeng was already a husband and father mattered little.

Although Qiutang Yu’er didn’t mind whether she’d end up as Su Changfeng’s disciple or become his wife, she hoped more for the latter, as it would deepen her bond with Su Changfeng, facilitating her revenge plans.

"Qiutang Yu’er, I understand your plans, but you misunderstood from the start. This isn’t the best choice, and we will never have other possibilities." After putting down his chopsticks, Su Changfeng left Qiutang Yu’er with these words, his attitude clear, hoping she’d stop holding unrealistic fantasies.

However, Qiutang Yu’er didn’t look at him, purposely pretending not to hear.

Meanwhile, at the Shen Family.

"Did someone hit you? Could it be that brother found out?" Shen Rushuang noticed the maid’s cheek marked by a slap, instinctively thinking it was Shen Yunlong who hit her, feeling a subtle guilt; after all, had she not sent the maid to find Su Changfeng, she wouldn’t have been hit.

"Miss, I saw Su Changfeng." The maid reported.

"You saw him? Where? Why didn’t he come with you?" Shen Rushuang couldn’t contain her excitement, really wanting to see Su Changfeng.

"Miss, I indeed saw him, along with his wife, who hit me." The maid said softly.

"What?" Shen Rushuang felt dizzy. Su Changfeng was married again? Yet he had just left the Shen Family, how could this be?

After taking several deep breaths, Shen Rushuang suppressed the whirl of emotions and asked solemnly, "What’s going on? How does he have a wife?"

"Miss, do you truly like Su Changfeng?" The maid cautiously observed Shen Rushuang, baffled by her insistence in seeing the worthless Su Changfeng. Now that he turned and married another woman, such a man wasn’t worthy of her.

"Like him? You’re overthinking. I just want to confirm some things, which are crucial, even affecting the Shen Family’s very survival." Shen Rushuang said.

"He refuses to come see you, saying you two no longer have any relations." The maid stated.

"Where is he now? I must see him personally." Shen Rushuang said.

"Miss, the young master has already said you can’t go out; outside is filled with his men, so you should abandon that thought." The maid said.

Abandon the thought?

Impossible; without witnessing Su Changfeng’s strength firsthand, she cannot truly feel at ease.

"Think of a way quickly; I must see him, understand?" Shen Rushuang said coldly.

The maid felt utterly helpless. To her, Shen Rushuang now seemed a bit abnormal, focusing so much effort on someone like Su Changfeng seemed pointless.

Moreover, if Shen Yunlong found out, Shen Rushuang wouldn’t face punishment, but she’d surely suffer.
