"Divorce letter!"
As soon as these two words were uttered, the scene instantly exploded.
Luo Hao only felt a blackout in front of his eyes. It took him a great deal of effort to recover.
Needless to say about Zhao Shuning.
At this moment, she truly and completely fell in love with her mother.
She could take things up and put them down.
When needed, she could be the dignified and noble young lady of the Ye family and the wife of the marquis.
When enraged, she could completely disregard others' gazes. As long as someone touched those she cared about, she would instantly explode.
For Ye Qingluan,
Luo Feiyan, her daughter, was her bottom line.
"A divorce letter? What does the marquis's wife intend to do?"
Luo Hao came to his senses at this time. He quickly pulled Ye Qingluan and whispered, "My lady, stop making a scene. I know that I said some excessive things today, but you don't have to threaten me with a divorce letter. Can we talk about our matter tonight? Right now, there's still a mess here waiting for us to deal with."
Ye Qingluan raised her eyes.
"Luo Hao, I'm not being petty. I'm serious. We'll talk about the divorce letter after I deal with these matters tonight. After being the mistress of the marquis's mansion for so many years, I've tried my best to suppress many of my temperaments. There are some things I can tolerate, but I can't accept them slandering Yan'er like this."
Luo Hao tightened his grip on Ye Qingluan, and she couldn't break free.
It could be said that Luo Hao was extremely flustered at this moment.
Even more flustered than when Lord Rong and others joined forces to force him to yield his position.
He only knew that if he let go of the woman in front of him at this moment, he might never be able to get her back.
Over the years, she had shown countless petty tempers, but she had never mentioned the words "divorce letter", let alone in public, under everyone's noses.
"Let go of me."
"I won't let go."
Ye Qingluan looked at Luo Hao angrily.
She thought he was extremely childish at this moment.
Not long ago, he had walked past her without looking back, holding Liu Yuan in his arms.
Thinking of this, Ye Qingluan became even angrier. Then, she stomped hard on Luo Hao's foot.
Luo Hao winced in pain and quickly let go.
Everyone sighed.
Sure enough, they were mother and daughter. Ye Qingluan and Luo Feiyan used the same method.
After Ye Qingluan broke free, she said to everyone, "Today, all of you are guests. As long as you've come to the Luo family, you've given the Luo family face. This is a family banquet, a feast. Once you're here, you should sit down happily. You've been so difficult on others and even planned my daughter's future. Such 'thoughtfulness' really makes us feel flattered."
Ye Qingluan walked up to Ye Xirou.
"Your name is Ye Xirou, right?"
"Auntie—"
"Ye Xirou, you also have the surname Ye. Your father, Ye Qingyuan, is only a distant relative of my Ye family. That's why I've helped your family all these years. Don't forget that I, Ye Qingluan, can support your family and also destroy it."
After saying that, she looked at Ye Qingyuan.
Ye Qingyuan lowered his head and didn't dare to look Ye Qingluan in the eye.
In the early years, Ye Qingluan was known for her hot temper. She was also the apple of Ye Feng's eye. The people of the Ye family doted on her like a princess, and no one dared to show her the slightest bit of disrespect.
A person like Ye Qingyuan could only catch a distant glimpse of Ye Qingluan when he was in the Ye family. The chances of him even talking to her were extremely rare.
If it weren't for the fact that Ye Qingluan had fallen out with the Ye family later and Ye Qingyuan had no way out and had come to seek refuge with Ye Qingluan because of their blood relation, and Ye Qingluan, being a kind - hearted person, had thought that she should help the people of the Ye family as much as possible, the Ye Qingyuan family would have starved to death on the streets long ago.
Since Ye Qingluan had become Luo Hao's wife and the mistress of the Luo family, in order to save Luo Hao's face, she had deliberately suppressed her temper on many occasions and even toned down her former sharpness.
She didn't want to show her sharpness, but it didn't mean she didn't have it, nor did it mean that those insignificant people could bully her daughter.
Zhao Shuning now thought that Ye Qingluan was radiating the light of motherly love all over her body.
She was almost in love with such a mother.
In two lifetimes, she had been extremely lucky. Both Lin Min'er and Ye Qingluan had truly protected her.
"Sister, that's not what we meant."
"Shut up."
Ye Qingluan said, "Ye Qingyuan, if my father knew that you've become like this and are helping others to harm his own granddaughter, what do you think he would do?"
Ye Feng was iron - fisted and extremely protective of his own.
If it weren't for the fact that the rift with Ye Qingluan had been such a public affair and he had declared that as long as Ye Qingluan was a member of the Luo family, he wouldn't see her or help her, he would probably have come to see his only granddaughter over the years.
Ye Qingyuan shut his mouth.
However, the Rong family was not so easy to deal with.
The old lord of the Rong family was also a veteran general who had fought on the battlefield. Although he had heard of Ye Feng's reputation, he was only a little afraid of him.
"Ye Qingluan, Ye Feng has completely severed ties with you. Don't use him to intimidate us."
"If you treat Rong Lan like this today and don't give our Rong family an explanation, then in the future, we won't make it easy for you either."
"Old Lord Rong, you're really shameless. Aren't you just relying on Rong Qing being the most talented and popular rising star among the younger generation? It was your Rong family member who spoke rudely first. Can't I fight back?"
"Madam Marquis, what my aunt said isn't without reason. In this day and age, is it wrong to tell the truth?"
Rong Qing spoke up.
At this time, the Rong family had already fallen out with the Luo family, so he no longer cared.
His strength was indeed at the top among the younger generation in Ruoqiang, so he had some confidence when saying such words.
"Rong Qing, excessive intelligence may lead to an early end."
"Today, I, Rong Qing, just want to have a good match with someone from your Luo family. As far as I know, Madam Luo, at your age, you're only a six - element spiritual pharmacist. Do you think you can stop me?"
Only a six - element spiritual pharmacist?
Everyone looked at the Rong family.
The old lord of the Rong family was thoroughly enjoying the envious looks others were throwing at him at this moment.
Then he said in front of everyone, "My grandson is not very talented. Not long ago, he just broke through to the seventh realm. Now, he's at the black - iron level among the seventh - realm spiritual pharmacists."
"What!"
"The Rong family has a worthy successor! With such abilities, he's bound to become the next Marquis of Ruoqiang!"
"A hero emerges from the youth. In the future, there will be more glory for the Rong family."
Ye Qingluan also felt a sense of uneasiness in her heart.
He was so young.
Probably not even thirty years old.
Yet he was already a seventh - realm spiritual pharmacist. What amazing fortune!
No wonder the Rong family dared to be so arrogant on the Luo family's territory.
Back when Luo Hao was at his peak, he had only broken through to the seventh realm after he was thirty. After reaching the seventh - realm spiritual pharmacist, over the years, he had only reached the silver level.
"A mere black - iron level seventh - realm spiritual pharmacist dares to be so arrogant?"
A girl's ethereal voice sounded softly, with obvious playfulness and ridicule in it.
