Rules of the Strange: I Became a God in a Bizarre World Through Taoist Arts

The thought of this possibility made Shen Xingzhuo's expression turn somewhat solemn.

This matter may not seem like a big deal, but if it develops in a negative direction, it could lead to a series of consequences.

The most severe one can even directly affect the future.

"Who were you sending to search?" Shen Xingzhuo asked.

"Eighty percent of the guards have already been mobilized." The old nanny's expression shifted back to its previous dismissive tone. "Is the young lady worried about her younger sister, or is she worried that her wedding tonight won't be able to proceed?"

The sudden question left Shen Xingzhu speechless.

Her concern for Pei Jinxiu was not without ulterior motives, but at this moment she was genuinely worried about the little girl who had mysteriously disappeared.

Her whereabouts are unknown, and with the constraints of the ghost story plot ahead and the scheming man eyeing her from behind, it's hard not to worry.

Seeing her silence, the old woman's contemptuous attitude grew even stronger.

Shen Xingzhuo couldn't get out of bed because of the blessing ceremony. Seeing the gold and silver ingots that were meant to be used to press down the bed, she picked up a handful, added some spiritual energy to them, and threw them at the old nanny.

"ah!!!"

The old woman's head was instantly bleeding profusely.

Dark blood streamed down her forehead and onto her face, which only made her skin appear even whiter and more delicate.

"Young Miss! I have no grudge against you, why do you humiliate me like this!"

The old nanny arrived and preemptively accused the villain.

The other maids in the room echoed this sentiment.

"Young Miss, your nanny has watched you grow up. Even if she hasn't done anything special, she has certainly put in a lot of hard work."

"Exactly, exactly! The way you treat her is absolutely heartbreaking..."

Seeing them singing in unison, Shen Xingzhuo almost sneered out loud.

"I am the master of the Pei household; it is your duty as servants to take care of me!"

"Now you come before me demanding credit, are you accusing the Pei family of mistreating you?!"

Shen Xingzhuo already appeared serious when she didn't show any expression. Now that her face had turned cold, her aura was enough to make the maids tremble and prostrate themselves on the ground.

"Young Miss, we...we know we were wrong."

Shen Xingzhuo didn't look at them, but instead focused her gaze on the old nanny.

She simply stared at her, remaining silent for a long time.

Those watching the sky were starting to struggle to keep up with her logic.

Even when Sister Shen is throwing a tantrum, she's so cool!

[If you ask me, those maids and servants deserved it. In ancient aristocratic families, the rules were very strict. Those who dared to show disrespect to their masters would have been sold off somewhere long ago.]

Come to think of it, I also find it strange; that old nanny really did keep giving Shen Xingzhu a hard time!

What does she have to complain about? Ultimately, what right does she have to boss around Sister Shen… no, what right does she have to criticize Pei Jinyu?

I have a bold guess...

Come on, be brave and say it!

"Hmm... I think... the old nanny and Pei Jinxiu treat Pei Jinyu in exactly the same way! They're either loyal servants to their mistress, or..."

"It's the same person!"

The unfinished comments in the bullet screen were filled in by Shen Xingzhuo in the ghost stories.

This tacit understanding that transcends "time and space" has greatly inspired the people of Tianxia.

But at this moment, they were more curious about how Shen Xingzhuo would interpret the process by which she had analyzed the answer.

The window of the side room was open, and the morning breeze blew in, stirring the bed curtains that looked like a blood mist.

Shen Xingzhuo was partially hidden by the curtains.

A ray of light shone on her, making her look like a celestial being descended to earth.

Through the blinding light, Shen Xingzhuo could clearly see that the old woman opposite him had clenched her fists so tightly that her nails were digging deep into her flesh.

Shen Xingzhu shook his head, his words sounding like heavenly music.

"I thought that after what happened yesterday, my sister and I had made up."

"Jinxiu, would you rather believe an outsider who's trying to sow discord between us sisters than your own sister?"
