“Where are her manners? Ruan Qishan, you were just speaking for this woman! If you ask me, we should just kick her out while Ruan Zeyan isn’t here. She will only harm the Ruan Family!” Ling Tianya’s disregard of him made fourth grandfather’s face flush with anger as he shouted at Ruan Qishan.

Ruan Qishan was slowly losing his composure. He quietly said to Ling Tianya, through his teeth, “Tianya, don’t be disrespectful to the elders.”

Hearing the threatening note in Ruan Qishan’s voice, Ling Tianya charmingly smiled at him. “Father, I didn’t mean to be disrespectful to the elders. However, I believe that as elders, they should act as such. I was only a little late. After all, it hasn’t even been half an hour since I’ve arrived home. Who knew that the elders would be here? I was afraid that if I appeared before the elders without make-up, that I would be lectured by them. Therefore, I simply freshened up.”

None of the elders were able to pick at Ling Tianya’s explanation. It was for the sake of seeing them that she specifically dressed up. Also, she was just discharged from the hospital and hadn’t even been home for half an hour before they arrived. The second they came, they had demanded to see her and it was for the purpose of telling her that Ruan Zeyan needed to find another woman. In light of these details, their table manners were indeed ugly.

Fourth grandfather’s expression became unnatural. Old fifth and old seventh grandfathers also held their breaths, feeling awkward.

After hearing Ling Tianya’s words, Ruan Qishan also didn’t have much to say.

Ruan Lijia, seeing that Ling Tianya’s downplayed words were able to quickly turn the tables, pursed her lips in dissatisfaction.

In response to the elders, who were deliberately making things difficult for her, Ling Tianya continued to gaze at Ruan Lijia, intending to deal with her to the very end. “Miss Lijia, when are you planning to answer my question. What kind of person are you?”

Seeing that Ling Tianya wasn’t letting it go, Ruan Lijia was unable to tolerate it any longer. “Sister-in-law, why do you keep pursuing this question?”

Ling Tianya laughed. “Since you still have yet to answer it, of course I must keep asking.”

“Sister-in-law, you don’t have to worry about what type of person I am. Take care of yourself first.” Ruan Lijia’s tone wasn’t nice.

Ling Tianya raised her eyebrows. “Since you won’t say it, then I will say it for you.” Ling Tianya took a couple of steps forward and her eyes fixed on Ruan Lijia. “You are a greedy person who indulges in fantasies. You are a shameless person who dreams everyday of obtaining things that are beyond your reach.”

Ling Tianya’s voice was relaxed and undulated, laced with her disdain for Ruan Lijia. She called for Big Guy. Big Guy came forth carrying a chair and placed it behind Ling Tianya. A queen’s smile was fixed on Ling Tianya’s face as she slowly sat down.

Being publicly insulted by Ling Tianya, Ruan Lijia was beyond pissed and she pointed at Ling Tianya, shouting, “Ling Tianya, you insulted me!”

Ling Tianya shrugged. “I was only speaking the truth.”

“Ling Tianya!” Ruan Lijia was red with anger. “Why don’t you take a look at your own situation? You are only a discarded woman who is infertile. How dare you insult me! I gave you face by calling you sister-in-law and now you humiliate me!”

Ruan Lijia already hated Ling Tianya with all of her heart. Now that Ling Tianya was humiliating her despite losing her status, Ruan Lijia was fueled by pure anger and could no longer contain herself.

Seeing the angry Ruan Lijia, Ling Tianya faintly laughed, and a hint of coldness passed through her eyes. “Mr. Zhong.”

Mr. Zhong, who was standing by the side, heard his name and immediately stood up. “Young madame, what is the matter?”

“I am still currently the young madame of the Ruan Family, right?”

Mr. Zhong was surprised but quickly nodded. “Yes.”

“Based on the Ruan Family rules, what is the punishment for publicly insulting the young madame?”

Mr. Zhong hesitated before saying, “Before, there was definitely a rule. Since the position is high, if someone were to commit that crime, then they would be beaten with a rod. However, that was the punishment for the ancestors, and it hasn’t been used in a long time.”

That was because throughout these past couple of years, Ruan Qishan’s family had been extremely powerful and, thus, no one dared to speak rudely to Madame Ruan or Wang Yazhi.

Ling Tianya raised her eyebrows. “Then we will take follow the ancient teachings today. Big Guy, what are you waiting for? Since there isn’t a rod, just hit her with your hand. Beat up that woman who dares to insult me.”

Ling Tianya looked at Ruan Lijia, her eyes chilly.

Once Big Guy received the order, he marched over to Ruan Lijia.
