Chapter 467: Chapter 466: What a Great Audacity

The Luo family is an aristocratic family that has been handed down for a thousand years, and this island estate has a history of over a thousand years, naturally extraordinary.

After disembarking, a group of people boarded the carriages prepared by the Luo family.

The carriage of Family Head Luo was drawn by eight horses, those of Luo Ning and her group by four horses, and the one the elder rode was also pulled by four horses.

The few younger members of the Luo family were in carriages drawn by two horses.

From this, one could see how much the Luo family valued status and hierarchy,

although they had accepted all aspects of modern society, they were still mostly shackled by the thoughts of a feudal aristocracy.

Jiang Xinxin leaned against the soft cushion of the carriage and said with a hint of irony, "No wonder they don’t acknowledge me, if this were ancient times, commoners like us wouldn’t have been able to enter such a family."

Even if her biological father had not abandoned her and left home, in the Luo family’s eyes, her family was merely merchants.

Luo Ning couldn’t help but laugh, "The Qing dynasty has been extinct for so many years now, even if the Luo family has a thousand-year heritage, how could they be nobler than anyone else? They’re merely deluding themselves."

"Mom, if Old Lady Luo wants to bully you, just give it right back to her."

She knew her mother was not a person to be taken advantage of easily.

Jiang Xinxin held Luo Ning’s hand and smiled, "Don’t worry, we’re not keen on spending our days on this island; she doesn’t have anything to hold over me."

To act haughty as a mother-in-law, one must first see if the other party is even worthy.

Roughly an hour into the carriage ride, Luo Ning and the others alighted, following Family Head Luo into the ancestral home of the Luo family.

As soon as they entered, servants approached to greet them, and the butler came forward respectfully.

As they walked into the manor, Luo Ning noticed quite a few of the Luo family members had come to gawk.

It seemed they were very curious about what the three women looked like.

But they didn’t dare to come forward, only respectfully paying their respects to Family Head Luo before dispersing.

The old Luo family estate still retained the traditional customs of the ancient feudal aristocracy.

Were it not for the fact that most of the people in the Luo family were dressed in modern clothes, Luo Ning would have almost wondered if she had time-traveled.

It was because of this that the sight seemed somewhat incongruous.

Upon entering the Luo family estate, Family Head Luo did not take the three women to the drawing room but instructed the butler to arrange their accommodation.

Then, he left after a brief greeting.

The butler’s attitude was not exactly contemptuous, but it was dismissive, and the guest courtyard arranged for them was not of the best tier.

Luo Ning didn’t mind; the Luo family treated them like they were mistresses.

The Luo family treated Luo Ning and her mother this way, but they were much nicer to Lu Xun, offering him the best guest courtyard.

However, Lu Xun declined and requested to stay in the same courtyard as Luo Ning.

Shi Ji and Luo Ranran naturally had the same request.

Though it was a guest courtyard, it had more than a dozen rooms, ample space to accommodate everyone.

Once the butler and the others left,

Luo Ranran curled her lip, "The Luo family is really making themselves look bad."

Luo Ning chuckled, "Isn’t this quite good?"

She was actually afraid the Luo family would be too nice to them.

If they were too nice, how could she take action?

When her father came out, how could she take the opportunity to play her hand?

It could only be said that those so-called noble ideals had already been etched deep into the bones of people like Family Head Luo, otherwise they wouldn’t have made such arrangements.

When Luo Ranran heard this, she thought about it and understood the meaning, "That’s true."

Luo Ning said, "We’ve all been tired today; let’s go rest for a while."

Everyone returned to their rooms, took baths, and slept for a while.

At about six o’clock, the butler arranged for food to be brought into the courtyard.

The people serving in the courtyard put on airs as if they were unworthy to dine in the main house.

Luo Ning and her group didn’t mind at all, they didn’t want to go to the main house either; it was better to avoid the unpleasantness.

A while after dinner, someone who claimed to be a maid of the old lady walked into the courtyard.

She looked at Jiang Xinxin with a mix of arrogance and scrutiny as she spoke, "Jiang Family, Old Madam allows you to come and pay your respects now."

This left the few people present utterly speechless.

Old Lady Luo really considered herself an ancient noble grandmother.

Jiang Xinxin was no pushover, and she couldn’t possibly respect such a grandmother.

"I come from the Imperial Capital, and we don’t have this custom of paying respects there."

She continued indifferently, "You go back and tell your family’s Old Madam, the words of my mother and me will not change, and our coming to the Luo Family is not a recognition of the Luo Family."

Luo Ning added from the side, "So I hope she has some self-awareness, otherwise, if I make a scene in your inner court, I’m afraid she’ll be the one without face."

When dealing with despicable people from the Luo Family, she was never polite.

The Maid hadn’t expected these two would dare to defy orders and be so arrogant.

She glared at Jiang Xinxin and Luo Ning, chiding, "Impudent!"

"Just the mistress and illegitimate daughter of the Second Young Master, neither of you have any right to be so impudent here."

She held a disdainful view of Luo Ning and her mother, considering them as mistress and child who couldn’t be shown in public.

Being summoned by the Old Madam was giving face to the mistress, and yet they dared to defy and ridicule her, what audacity.

"Slap! Slap!"

But no sooner had her words fallen than Luo Ning’s slap also landed on her face.

The Maid clutched her face in disbelief, looking at Luo Ning, "You, you dared to hit me."

Luo Ning raised an eyebrow, "If you have a loose tongue, you’re asking to be hit."

In the Luo Family, anyone who tried to insult her mother wouldn’t have an easy time of it.

Then she said with cold eyes, "You go and tell Old Lady Luo not to take herself too seriously. We are not Family Head Luo, who indulges her."

The Maid, slapped across the face, was now intimidated by Luo Ning’s aura, and was taken aback.

On this island, even Family Head Luo yielded to the Old Lady, and it was the first time anyone dared to speak and act so insolently.

She glared at Luo Ning, "You just wait."

After that, she left the yard with her people in a dejected manner.

Main courtyard.

Mrs. Luo and a few elder ladies were sitting together, having tea.

The Maid entered with her eyes red and her face swollen.

She hadn’t exaggerated anything on her face; the swelling was mainly because Luo Ning didn’t hold back when she struck her.

Luo Ning did that intentionally, as the saying goes, to strike a dog before its master.

By hitting the master’s dog, she had effectively slapped the master’s face.

Mrs. Luo, upon seeing the Maid like this, had her suspicions, and her expression darkened.

"What about Jiang Xinxin?"

The Maid bowed in salute, then spoke, "Jiang Family won’t come, and that Luo Ning even slapped me twice and was utterly disrespectful."

Mrs. Luo had experienced Luo Ning’s sharp tongue and naturally knew that verbal filter wasn’t one of the girl’s strengths.

She said coldly, "Tell us everything that happened in the yard."

The Maid recounted the words of Jiang Xinxin and Luo Ning, as well as their attitudes, verbatim.

This made Mrs. Luo furious, and she even smashed the teacup in her hand heavily onto the ground.

She knew Luo Ning was unruly, but she hadn’t expected that Jiang Xinxin, who was an outsider in-law, would dare to be so presumptuous upon arrival at the Luo Family.

The elder ladies sitting there thought the same.

The Second Young Master’s mistress was too haughty, and as for his daughter, being an outsider, it’s no surprise she lacks all manners.

One of them spoke up, "Mrs., we haven’t met the Second Young Master’s mistress yet. Why don’t we go over and see for ourselves now?"

Her "we" didn’t include Mrs. Luo.

After all, what mother-in-law would take the initiative to go and meet her daughter-in-law?

They had always revered Mrs. Luo and naturally wanted to help her assert authority this time.

Lady Luo understood their intentions immediately; they wanted to pick a fight, and she would certainly not stop them, "Alright, you go and take a look then."
