Hu Jie's face flushed with indignation. She couldn't believe that this woman had the audacity to publicly compare her to a mere dish, and even accuse her of acting beneath her status. No one had ever dared to treat her this way before. She was truly a cunning adversary. Remembering how her previous attempts to thwart this woman's plans had been foiled, Hu Jie's expression darkened further. She was determined not to let Su Shen leave the capital!
With a cold huff, Hu Jie stormed off, leaving the surrounding crowd in stunned silence. It was the first time they had seen the wealthy young lady take such a blow without retaliating. Their leader's wife was indeed a formidable woman.
