Throughout the years, although Qin Shi always lived alone and didn’t often show her face before others, she had yet to encounter such terrible treatment.
Seeing the Ruan residence servants coming towards her, about to kick her out, Qin Shi was furious. “Don’t touch me!”
Qin Shi took a step back, scarlet eyes sweeping past everyone and finally landing harshly on Ling Tianya and Madame Ruan.
“Okay… okay!” Qin Shi was so angry that her eyes were wide, “You guys are bullying me because the old man is no longer here, so there is no one to support me. I don’t need you guys to drag me out, I can walk by myself!”
Qin Shi took two steps, turning around to glare at Ling Tianya. “Let’s see how long you can remain proud!”
Qin Shi’s eyes passed over her two sons, her expression tense and grave, finally leaving the Ruan residence furious.
Ling Tianya’s actions were entirely taken in by the members of the family. She was just admitted into the family and she was already brave enough to tear apart Qin Shi without a single regard for Ruan Guosheng and Ruan Guofu, nor the three grandfathers who were present. She was brave enough to rise over Madame Ruan and Wang Yazhi, directly giving the old housekeeper, Mr. Zhong, orders.
Not only that, she did not even get stage fright the entire time; her majestic and terrifying presence remained unmoving while she confronted Qin Shi. This action caused those that were present to hold their tongues.
Wang Yazhi was a bit troubled and couldn’t refrain from pulling on Ling Tianya’s sleeves. “Yaya, were your actions today too aggressive? After all, Qin Shi is quite old.”
Madame Ruan snorted. “Too aggressive? I think that Ling girl did a good job! I was too angry to respond at the moment, or else I would have kicked her out a long time ago. Would I have kept her for dinner?”
Madame Ruan supported Ling Tianya. From her viewpoint, her daughter-in-law’s personality was much too pure and therefore useless once a problem occurs.
Today, if not for Ling Tianya, who knew how arrogant Qin Shi would have gotten.
In the study, Mr. Zhong was reporting the situation in the living room to Ruan Qishan.
Halfway into the report, Ruan Qishan started to laugh. “You are speaking the truth? Daughter- in-law really kicked out Qin Shi?”
Mr. Zhong repeatedly nodded, unable to believe it for himself. “Yes, without giving any face, she scolded Qin Shi and then ordered for her to be taken away. Qin Shi herself also felt like she had lost face. Without us dragging her out, she furiously walked herself out.”
Ruan Qishan squinted. “And what of the reactions from the other people?”
Mr. Zhong responded, “The other people were all shaken by the madame’s imposing manner. Even the three grandfathers were shocked speechless.”
Hearing this, Ruan Qishan laughed, facing Ruan Zeyan, who was sitting on the side with an indolent expression, making fun of him. “You married a good wife. Not only does she have a brain, she is brave and unafraid of offending anyone. She is quite similar to you in this way.”
Qin Shi was the Ruan family’s greatest embarrassment. Although she didn’t have a status, she was still truly the old man’s woman. This was a fact acknowledged by the entire Ruan family. She had also birthed two sons for the Ruan family, so her status was high, yet low at the same time, depending on who you ask.
Moreover, everyone believed Qin Shi’s status to be high since she was the old man’s woman. But only Ling Tianya focused on the fact that she did not belong in the family genealogy. Illegally conferred, she was nothing.
Ruan Qishan laughed, his fondness for Ling Tianya deepening.
Ruan Zeyan’s face was full of pride, giving Ruan Qishan a “who’s wife is she” expression.
Ruan Qishan looked sidelong at Ruan Zeyan, sighing. His son’s wife was definitely much stronger than his own wife.
