Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The threat indeed had an impact. Mrs. Ye Sr. hesitated, recalling how Ye Nanshen had retaliated when provoked in the past, which made her scalp tingle.
However, as Mrs. Ye Sr. wavered, a woman who had been silent until now spoke up. “The Buddha statue symbolizes good fortune. Its breakage is an ominous sign, especially after Mrs. Ye Sr.’s months of devout worship in the mountains.”
The woman’s voice was gentle, her words measured. Rong Qi looked up to see the woman across from her nodding with a gentle smile. If not for her previous incendiary remarks, anyone might be fooled by her seemingly kind exterior.
As expected, Mrs. Ye Sr.’s hesitation vanished, and she barked, “What are you waiting for? Tie up this woman and throw her out!”
Meng Fu and several male servants approached Mrs. Hong.
Rong Qi’s gaze turned icy and warned, “I dare anyone to lay a hand on her.”
The one to retort was Ms. Liu, a middle-aged woman sitting to the right of Mrs. Ye Sr. and the mother of Ye Shaochen and Ye Shaoxian. Her words were dismissive, “Putting on airs in the Ye household? Let’s see if anyone here will listen to you.”
Rong Qi’s lips curled into an amused smile, “Why don’t you try?”
Mrs. Hong knew Rong Qi was preparing for a confrontation. Mrs. Hong worried that any mishap that happened to Rong Qi’s pregnancy could be disastrous.
Mrs. Hong rea.s.sured Rong Qi, “Don’t worry about me, I’m fine.”
Rong Qi responded, “Mrs. Hong, you are respected by both Shen and me. To harm you is to disrespect Shen. His reputation is not something anyone can trample on.”
Mrs. Ye Sr. infuriated, banged the table, “Insolent! Throw her out, now! I want to see who dares to stop me.”
Meng Fu and the servants approached with ropes. l.u.s.t as they neared Mrs. Hong, Rong Qi, holding a teacup, smashed it on the table. Tea splattered and shards of porcelain flew.
Rong Qi flung the shards at the approaching servants, causing them to scream in pain. Blood dripped from their arms onto the floor, forming a pool. The scene shocked everyone in the living room.
Mrs. Ye Sr. clutched her chest in anger and said, “How dare you, Rong Qi!”
Rong Qi casually remarked, “Sorry, my hand slipped.”
“Ma’am, she’s clearly showing you no respect!” Meng Fu exclaimed.
“I don’t believe we can’t handle them. Tie up this woman too!” Mrs. Ye Sr. ordered, her voice trembling.
As more servants rushed in, Mrs. Hong stood protectively in front of Rong Qi, “If you must take someone, take me. But if anyone dares to touch her, Master Shen won’t spare you!”
However, the servants paid no heed and continued advancing towards them..
