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. âThe Buddha statue symbolizes good fortune. Its breakage is an ominous sign, especially after Mrs. Ye Sr.âs months of devout worship in the mountains.â
The womanâs 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.âs hesitation vanished, and she barked, âWhat are you waiting for? Tie up this woman and throw her out!â

Rong Qiâs gaze turned icy and warned, âI dare anyone to lay a hand on her.â

Mrs. Ye Sr. clutched her chest in anger and said, âHow dare you, Rong Qi!â
Rong Qi casually remarked, âSorry, my hand slipped.â
âMaâam, sheâs clearly showing you no respect!â Meng Fu exclaimed.
âI donât believe we canât handle them. Tie up this woman too!â Mrs. Ye Sr. ordered, her voice trembling.

However, the servants paid no heed and continued advancing towards them..
