Hearing the commotion outside, the head servant of the Wen family head walked outside to see what it was about. Seeing Shen Tianyu in front, surrounded by four guards, standing in front of the crows, he asked her: "Miss, may I ask what is the matter?"
"Where's Wen Ruocheng?" Shen Tianyu asked.
His eyebrows creasing, the head servant answered, "Young Master Wen is currently out on business. Please come back later, Miss." he dismissed.
"Ha! That pig that only knows how to satisfy his lower body has business to attend to? I don't believe you! Where is that damn bastard?! Tell him to come out right now!" Shen Tianyu raised her voice in dissatisfaction.
The servant visibly frowned as his tone became harsher. "Young Miss, please stop causing trouble in front of our Wen Estate. If it's about Young Master's conduct, then you should be glad he even paid you any attention! Our prestigious Wen family is the head of the Department of State Affairs and Imperial Consort Ren (1) is Young Master Wen's aunt. Do you know who you are trying to mess with?!" the servant shouted proudly, lightly pounding his chest.
Shen Tianyu giggled. "Of course I do. Wen Ruocheng the shameless young master of the Wen Family that doesn't know how to control his lower brain. The one who people reckon has been sleeping with women since a child. Not to mention, he has no problem forcing men into his bed also. Then, there's his useless father that pampers his son so much his upper brain shriveled and died long ago. Not to mention, the worthless Madam of Wen Family who let's the unproductive son do as he wishes and forcing the women he forces to sleeps with to let things go by either threatening or paying them off. As for the matters of the Wen family as a whole..."
The servant trembled with rage as he interrupted. "You-you damn prostitute! How dare you slander our great Wen Family! Guards! Come throw this woman away! Blocking the entrance to our Wen family residence and obstructing the road!" he yelled as he pointed a shaking finger at her.
Shen Tianyu just stood there silently as around ten guards emerged from within the Wen family residence. They steadily advanced towards Shen Tianyu and her shabbily dressed guards who didn't even have full body armor. One guard who seemed like the leader sneered at them as he said: "Hahaha! Beauty you should give up on finding trouble at the Wen Residence! Beauty, if you are unsatisfied, how about coming with me? I don't usually favor poor and troublesome women, but seeing your exceptional beauty, I don't mind making you a Zhong Cairen (1)." he laughed lecherously.
The leader of Shen Tianyu's guards, Xia Ji, frowned. 'Zhong Cairen? Zhong Cairen is only the second to last position of a noble's harem. Miss is the Master of Lavender Palace, whom even the Emperor has to bow to. A mere guard dares to name her Cairen? Dammed ants don't know their place!' he thought.
"A mere guard has such audacity? The Wen family is truly undisciplined." Shen Tianyu sighed.
Angered until his face turned red, the head servant ordered, "What are you waiting for?! Throw her out!"
"Tsk. Tsk. What throw out? I haven't even stepped onto the threshold of your filthy Wen family home. How can you throw me out?" Shen Tianyu clicked her tongue, crossing her arms.
"You, you..." the head servant pointed a shaking finger at her, not able to find a retort. In the end, he could only order the guards to arrest her.
As the ten or so guards headed towards Shen Tianyu, with the head at the head with a lecherous look on his face, her guards created a protective shield in front of her. Then, the Wen family guards pounced. They didn't bother to look at the cultivation base of her guards, after all, just a little prostitute, what kind of guards could she afford? But they neglected to think, there was one place, whose guards one should never estimate. Then again, how could they think she was from there? They'd never seen her before and there had never been any trouble with that place before, why would they come to seek trouble with them now?
'Negligence and ignorance is your biggest mistake' Shen Tianyu thought as Xia Ji stepped forward. He only released his spiritual pressure and the Wen family guards fell flat on the ground. They struggled but couldn't even move a finger, as if they were being pressed by Mount Tai (2). Shocked, the servant looked at Shen Tianyu again.
"You, who are you?"
She smiled a false smile that didn't reach her eyes and replied back. "Who do you think I am?"
The servant immediately changed his previous hostile attitude and smiled warmly. "Ahahaha, I didn't know Miss was an distinguished person. Please forgive my lack of manners before, I merely thought Miss was causing trouble for our Young Master. Since Miss has come here on business, I will call the Young Master over immediately. Please follow me to wait in the Audience Hall." He tried to curry favor with her, completely abandoning the poor guards still being crushed by Xia Ji's pressure, the weaker ones already leaking blood from the corner of their mouth, or perhaps from the anger they felt for being abandoned by the old servant. In the mouth of that servant, Shen Tianyu's 'looking for Young Master Wen' became 'have business with him', though that certainly wasn't wrong. It was just that, it wasn't the kind of business the servant made it into. He probably wouldn't doubt his assumption until much later. After all, the Wen family was prestigious, how many women wanted to marry into it but couldn't.
'But since this Young Miss has guards with her above Foundation Establishment Initial Stage, she must be from somewhere with money, at the very least,' he thought as he eagerly invited her in. Shen Tianyu looked at the ten or so guards still on the ground from Xia Ji's spiritual pressure and the servant snapped at them.
"What are you doing down there? Get and go back to your positions!"
At this, Xia Ji let go of his pressure and the guards were able to move again. Crying inside, they trudged back into the residence, cursing the head servant in their hearts. But they couldn't do anything to him, ah! He was the Master's most trusted servant! If they ever hurt him, not to mention their jobs, even their whole families might get into trouble!
1: In the Song dynasty, during the reign of Emperor Xiaowu in 456, Guifei (or Imperial Consort here) is ranked right below the Empress. Whereas, Zhong Cairen is the second to last ranking of the concubines with official positions in the harem. No info about the harems of nobles so I'm assuming it follows the Imperial harem to a some degree. I know it doesn't really apply to a guard, but really, I just mean he's taking her in as a side hoe.
