Shen Tianyu retracted her gaze and entered behind the head servant in with a cold face, followed by her guards. He led her to the Audience Hall and ordered servants to treat her with the utmost respect before leaving to report to the Master. Her guards stood behind her seat, two on each side, as she waited. 'Oh my god! I feel like such a celebrity! Flagged by guards had being waited on by servants! So exciting! It's a good change of pace from before, when I did everything myself.' She thought, without a change in expression. The Audience Hall was an elegantly decorated space filled with wooden furniture. Behind the Master seat at the head of the room was the Wen family crest, a bellflower with a sword on top of it. In front of the Master seat were two rows of wooden chairs with wooden tables in between every two chairs. When the tea was beginning to cool, Wen Ruocheng entered behind Wen Shiachen and Wen Lingshang, the Master and Madam of the Wen family. Wen Shiachen sat in the Master seat and Wen Lingshang below him, with Wen Ruocheng next to her. After everyone was seated, Wen Shiachen looked at Shen Tianyu with a stern expression.

"Young Miss, what was the reason for the commotion you caused outside?" He asked her.

Before Shen Tianyu could reply, Wen Ruocheng cut in. "Father! She-" Wen Shiachen glared at his son before he could continue further. Scared, Wen Ruocheng shut his mouth, shrinking into himself. Wen Lingshang tried to sneakily pat his back to comfort him, which Shen Tianyu caught but didn't say anything. Turning her eyes to Wen Shiachen, Shen Tianyu smiled and replied.

"Young Master Wen is really great, ah? Forcing women all over the place without having to take responsibility. Apparently, Young Master has started taken a liking to men! Women can't satisfy you anymore? Young Master Wen is really great!" Shen Tianyu sarcastically complimented him.

Wen Shiachen frowned at her accusations. "Miss, don't accuse Cheng'er. You can't just come in here and start accusing my son."

Shen Tianyu laughed. "I'm not accusing anyone. Is it not a fact that plenty of women have come here claiming for responsibility of your precious son forcing him and many more who didn't have the courage to step out. As for men... a few days ago he forced one of our servants, Su Yuan, onto a bed. Why don't you tell us what he could possibly be doing, pushing another man onto a bed in a guest room of a brothel?" She asked with a smile that didn't reach her eyes.

Wen Shiachen had a complicated look on his face as he remained silent. Wen Ruocheng jumped up in agitation and shouted. "You're only some prostitute! How dare you falsely accuse me! You don't know what's good for you!"

Shen Tianyu merely gave him a cold glance before her gaze returned to Wen Shiachen. "If Master Wen doesn't believe, we could summon the guard that escorted Young Master Wen out. We could also call on Su Yuan, but I doubt he ever wants to see Young Master Wen again."

A small trace of panic flashed in Wen Shiachen's eyes as he quickly rejected. "No,no. No need. I believe Young Miss, I believe. No need to make the matter bigger..."

"Father!" Wen Ruocheng interrupted. "How could you believe a prostitute! I'm your son! You should be protecting me! You should believe me!"

Wen Shiachen slammed his hand on the table next to him and glared at Wen Ruocheng. "Shut up!"

'I thought it was strange that she could afford Gold Core bodyguards but not equip them with armor. Now that I look closer, those guards all have a Lavender engraved over their heart on the breastplates! They're from Lavender Palace! This idiot son of mine, what trouble has he got the Wen family into?!' Wen Shiachen thought as he watched Wen Ruocheng who was grudgingly sitting back down.

He then turned back to Shen Tianyu, a flattering look in his eyes. "Miss, May I know Miss's name?"

At this, Wen Lingshang looked up at Wen a Shiachen for the first time since they entered the hall. Then, she started glaring daggers at Shen Tianyu. 'I was saying what does she want from Cheng'er, making such a fuss. So she wants to become Shiachen's! Humph! Damned girl, you haven't even matured yet and you want to wreck my home?' (1)

In such an ancient time, it is indeed more common for a man to have multiple women in his home. In the Wen family, this is also the case. However, Madam Wen is a fake white lotus. She looks pure and kind on the outside but has a vicious heart. Every woman Wen Shiachen brings into the Estate, Wen Lingshang has been able to tame, if they didn't listen, they were met with disastrous ends. Hence, despite her husband having multiple concubines, Wen Lingshang still keeps her position as Madam and only really need some to worry about dealing with outside people trying to enter Wen Shiachen's harem, just like she thinks Shen Tianyu is doing.

Shen Tianyu noticed Wen Lingshang's glare but ignored her. She replied to Wen Shiachen "My name is Tian Feng. Why does Master Wen ask? Are you thinking of cursing me?" (2) She asked in a slightly joking manner.

"Of course not, of course not. It's merely to make it easier to address Miss." Wen Shiachen humbly replied. "What does Miss want as compensation for all the trouble my stupid son has caused? As long as I can provide, I will do so."

Wen Lingshang opened her mouth. "Girl, don't you even think of asking for anything indecent. I won't allow you to seduce my husband!"

Wen Shiachen slammed his hand on the table again. "Su Lingshang! (3) What nonsense are you saying! Besides, who is the Master of this family! Even if she wanted to enter Wen family, you are not the first to have a say! It's already good, you get to listen on the side but you even want to sour things, really useless!"

As Wen Shiachen and Wen Lingshang started arguing, Shen Tianyu just watched at the side, not once touching the cup of tea on her table. While Wen Ruocheng could only glare at her.

'Mother was right, this woman is a homewrecker! Father and mother are always worried about face, arguing in front of a guest is a great humiliation! But now, they are doing so in plain sight! Really not a good person!' Wen Ruocheng thought this.

However, what business would Shen Tianyu have at the Wen Residence? If Wen Ruocheng hadn't caused so much trouble, Shen Tianyu would never even glance at Master Wen if they passed each other on the street, much less come to the Wen Estate! Yet, he completely disregarded his role and blamed everything on Shen Tianyu.

'Though, it's not completely false that I caused this. I don't care. Humph, what Wen family! It's already courteous enough I did not come and immediately slaughter everyone. Instead I went to the trouble to get an audience. Wen Ruocheng, you should be thanking me! Not glaring daggers at me!' Shen Tianyu thought as she watched the family feud in front of her as if watching a movie.
