The mistress is reborn, no one who bullies me can escape

Even without thinking about it, the reasons are obvious and self-evident.

Faced with this situation, Xue Jinhua seemed exceptionally calm and composed, without showing any sign of anxiety.

She calmly instructed the maid beside her, "Go and report back, and tell them that I'm resting and won't see you."

The maid had originally thought that the lady would panic when she heard that the city lord's wife was coming to visit, and might even be so nervous that she would be at a loss as to what to do.

But what no one expected was that Xue Jinhua actually refused to let the city lord's wife in without hesitation!

For a moment, the maid was so shocked that she stood there stunned, her whole body frozen like a clay or wooden sculpture.

Seeing that the maid had not made any move, Xue Jinhua could not help but frown slightly and urged softly, "What's going on? Don't you understand what I mean?"

The maid came back to her senses and murmured stutteringly, "Madam... Madam, that... that is the city lord's wife..." Her words were full of disbelief and fear.

Xue Jinhua didn't care about this, and responded calmly: "Don't say she is just the city lord's wife. Even if the person visiting today is the city lord himself, if I don't want to meet him, I can still close the door and refuse visitors." These words were said in a decisive manner, leaving no room for maneuver.

When the maid heard this, she felt as if she had heard the most shocking thing in the world. Although she was still shocked, she did not dare to say another word.

Then, she turned and left tremblingly with an uneasy mood.

After going out of the door, the maid stuttered as she saluted to the city lord’s wife: “City… City lord’s wife…”

The city lord's wife saw this and showed displeasure on her face. She asked in a deep voice, "Where are the people? Why haven't they come out to greet me yet?"

The maid lowered her head and stammered, "Madam said...she...she was resting and didn't see the city lord's wife."

The city lord's wife had a gloomy look on her face. Her originally delicate features now seemed a little distorted. It was obvious that she felt humiliated by the cold treatment she had just received.

Meng Jinyao, who was standing nearby, was even more stunned. It took her a while to come back to her senses, and the anger in her heart erupted like a volcano.

"Sister-in-law, in my opinion, she definitely did it on purpose. That ignorant bitch was only rescued by brother's kindness. We are all her saviors! How dare she be so arrogant and domineering, sister-in-law, you must teach her a lesson!" Meng Jinyao was so angry that she was shaking all over and said with gritted teeth.

The city lord's wife was also furious, her chest heaving violently. Even if the other party was the city lord's guest, so what? Such blatant disregard for her was simply a great humiliation and contempt for her!

"Humph, she's really so arrogant!" The city lord's wife could no longer suppress her anger and shouted harshly.

"Since she is unwilling to come and meet me on her own initiative, then I will go in and meet her in person!" As she said this, she walked inside.

However, the maid hurried forward to stop him, and said timidly: "Madam, please calm down... This lady is the guest of the Lord of the City. I'm afraid you can't just barge in like this without the Lord of the City's permission."

Before she finished her words, there was a crisp "slap" sound. Meng Jinyao raised her hand without hesitation and slapped the maid hard.

The maid was hit and staggered, almost falling to the ground.

"You bold slave! Who do you think you are to dare to block my sister-in-law's way?" Meng Jinyao raised her eyebrows, opened her eyes wide, glared at Ximei and cursed loudly.

As soon as she finished speaking, she kicked Ximei fiercely, cursing, "You little slave! It's only been less than a day, and you've already forgotten who your master is?"

The maid who was kicked covered her face in pain, but she didn't even dare to breathe. She could only endure the humiliation silently without saying a word.

However, when the maid thought of the fierce tempers of the city lord's wife and daughter, she felt frightened.

She knew that if she didn't handle this matter well, she would definitely suffer the consequences.

So, she endured the pain and ran out in a hurry to find the city lord to come and rescue her.

At this time, Xue Jinhua was preparing to take a nap during the afternoon leisure time. However, just as she closed her eyes, the door was suddenly pushed open without any warning.

Ximei, who was standing at the door, saw the situation inside the house at a glance. When she saw who was coming, she turned pale and stammered, "Mayor's wife... Miss..."

"Oh, Ximei, you still know that I am your lady. I was really worried that you had forgotten about me, your master." Meng Jinyao looked at the trembling Ximei in front of her with a look of reproach. It was obvious that she was still brooding over what she had done before.

Hearing this, Ximei's face instantly became paler as paper, and even a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Gu Yunshu on the side was watching everything happening in front of him quietly, frowning slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

"How dare you! You are so ignorant of etiquette when you see the wife of this city lord. Why don't you kneel down and salute? Who do you think you are?" Meng Jinyao raised her eyebrows and shouted angrily. The voice was so sharp and piercing that it seemed to pierce the eardrums.

Xue Jinhua frowned slightly, looked at the two men calmly, and said slowly: "Although I am grateful to the city lord for saving my life, I am not from southern Xinjiang after all. I will greet you out of courtesy. If you want me to perform a great ceremony... I cannot do so with my status. Besides, even if I did, I am afraid you may not be able to bear it."

With just a few short responses, the city lord's wife and Meng Jinyao who was standing beside them looked as if they had heard some earth-shattering words, and their faces instantly turned extremely ugly.

Meng Jinyao suddenly burst into laughter, full of sarcasm and disdain, "Humph, I know my brother saved your life. It would be fine if you were a little too proud of yourself, but you actually dared to speak wildly, saying that we are not worthy of paying respects to you? Do you think you are some great person? Are you still the high and mighty Crown Princess of Jin State?"

Facing the other party's sarcasm, Xue Jinhua raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and replied softly: "Maybe the facts are just as you guessed?"

"Ha ha ha ha………"

Meng Jinyao laughed so hard that she fell forward and backward, as if she had heard the funniest thing in the world. She looked up at the sky and laughed without caring about her image. The laughter was deafening and echoed throughout the room.

"I say, are you mentally ill?"

Meng Jinyao finally stopped laughing. She wiped the tears from her eyes with her hands, looked at Xue Jinhua in front of her with contempt and said, "When my elder brother rescued you from outside, didn't he ask a doctor to check if your brain was damaged? How could you say such absurd things!"

"The Crown Princess of Jin? How dare you think that! Do you think that if the Crown Princess of Jin disappears out of thin air, it will be your turn to replace her? Do you know what kind of supreme status and honor the Crown Princess of Jin has? That is an honor that countless women dream of but can never reach!" Meng Jinyao crossed her arms and continued to mock with disdain.

You know, although the Nanjiang where they are located is also an independent small city, it is ultimately just a subsidiary city of the Jin State.

But for the people of Nanjiang City, the distant Jin State is as unattainable as the gods in the sky. It possesses absolutely overwhelming power and endless wealth and resources.

In front of such a big country, Nanjiang City seems insignificant.

Therefore, when someone dared to claim to be the Crown Princess of Jin, Meng Jinyao thought it was nothing but a pipe dream and extremely absurd.

Xue Jinhua thought to herself that she just wanted to test whether her identity would work here, so she deliberately said those words.

At this moment, she was staring at Meng Jinyao's reaction, and suddenly a thought flashed through her mind: If she told the city lord her true identity, would the city lord immediately order her to return to Jin? Thinking of this, Xue Jinhua's eyes flickered slightly. If things could really develop as she wished, wouldn't she be able to return home soon as she wished?

She said solemnly, "Since you know my status is extremely respected and where I come from, how dare you be so disrespectful and rude to me?"

However, when Meng Jinyao and the City Lord's wife heard these words, they were instantly stunned, as if they were under a spell.

After a long time, Meng Jinyao came back to her senses first. However, she was so angry that her face turned blue. She pointed at Xue Jinhua with gritted teeth and shouted angrily, "You...you...you ignorant bitch! How dare you be so arrogant and domineering! Humph, if you were the Crown Princess of Jin, I...I would kneel down and kowtow to you right now and call you ancestor!"

Facing Meng Jinyao's harsh words, Xue Jinhua was not in a hurry. She just glanced at her calmly, raised her lips slightly, and responded softly: "Miss Meng, please don't be angry. I can't afford such a big gift. If a beautiful lady like you wants to give me such a big gift, I'm afraid I will shorten my life. Besides, I'm afraid I don't have the blessing to have such a big granddaughter."

Meng Jinyao felt a surge of blood rushing to her head. She widened her eyes, glared at the other person, pointed at the person in front of her with a trembling hand, and shouted angrily: "You...you...who do you think you are! I was just being polite to you, but you actually took it seriously? You really don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is!"

However, facing Meng Jinyao's angry accusations, Xue Jinhua seemed to have heard nothing and remained silent.

But the more this happened, the more furious Meng Jinyao became. She couldn't help but yell again, "Sister-in-law, look! This woman is so arrogant and domineering. How dare she talk to me like that! You have to teach her a lesson for me today!"

The city lord's wife was originally just watching coldly from the side, but when she heard Meng Jinyao's cry, she couldn't help but frowned.

She really had not expected that this woman would be so arrogant and completely disregard Meng Jinyao.

The city lord's wife slowly stepped forward, staring at Xue Jinhua sternly, and said in a deep voice: "Madam, although you were rescued by the city lord, you should not be so rude and presumptuous. Not only did you speak wildly to A Yao today, you even made her so angry. If I don't punish you well, I'm afraid the rules of this city will be gone!"

At this time, Xue Jinhua had been pondering over the issue of her own identity and had no time to think about anything else.

It was not until she heard the words of the City Lord's wife that she came back to her senses as if awakened from a dream and turned her gaze to the City Lord's wife.

After seeing the face of the city lord's wife clearly, Xue Jinhua couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

The city lord's wife doesn't look very old, probably in her early thirties.

She has a pretty face and delicate features. According to Xue Jinhua's aesthetic sense, she can be called a beauty.

However, if you look closely, you will find that there is a strong sense of depression between this person's brows, as if he suffers from countless troubles in his daily life. His furrowed brows and slightly drooping eyes reveal deep worry and fatigue.

"Madam, don't forget that I was rescued by the City Lord himself! You treat me like this. Aren't you afraid that after the City Lord gets to know about this, you and your wife will develop a rift and drift apart?" Xue Jinhua said sharply.

Hearing this, the City Lord's wife's expression instantly became tense. It was obvious that this was what she was most worried about.

After all, once a rift appears in the relationship between a couple, it is not easy to repair it.

At this moment, Meng Jinyao, who was standing by, saw this and immediately shouted, "Stop talking nonsense here! If it weren't for you, why would my eldest brother deliberately avoid seeing my sister-in-law during this period of time?"

Hearing this, Xue Jinhua couldn't help but feel surprised.

She had indeed never expected that there was such a reason behind this. No wonder the city lord's wife had always been hostile to her.

It turned out to be out of a woman's jealousy.

Although she still didn't know the details of what happened, she explained: "Madam, please calm down. I have been in a coma for a while and I don't know a lot of things. But I can solemnly swear in front of you... I have no improper thoughts about the Lord of the City."

After saying this, she raised her right hand with a solemn and sincere expression.
