Wen Jingtang gazed at the characters on the paper.
Her expression visibly changed.
Her eyes narrowed as she looked directly at Ye Qichi.
Ye Qichi naturally felt Wen Jingtang's anger as well.
She also knew that Wen Jingtang came today to assert dominance over her.
Wen Jingtang certainly could not allow Xiao Jinxing to be wronged.
Clearly, Zhao Mengyu was more biased towards her son.
But little did she expect, Ye Qichi to disappoint like this.
Compared to Xie Ruiyao, it was utterly no contest.
Instead, Wen Jingtang lost all face because of her.
"Ye Qichi, what is the meaning of this!" Wen Jingtang's face was clearly darkened.
Others felt Empress Dowager's temper flaring.
None dared to breathe too loudly.
Those of weaker courage shivered.
Xie Ruotong didn't dare to look straight at them either.
Her heart, however, was filled with worry.
Unsure how Ye Qichi could overcome this difficulty.
Xie Ruiyao's mood at the moment was naturally entirely different.
