In the study of the front courtyard, Lady Ni wore a stern expression.
"Old Master, we absolutely can't just take this lying down!"
"If they are already so arrogant before we are even married, won't they disregard us even more afterward?"
"Moreover, if word of this gets out, what will become of our daughter's reputation?"
As Lady Ni spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.
General Ni was so enraged his face darkened, and he slammed his fist onto the desk.
"Outrageous!"
The teacups on the desk, shaken by the impact, produced a loud CLATTER.
"The Xia Family is really pushing things too far!"
"Though the Ni Family may not be a prominent and influential clan, we will not tolerate such disrespect!"
After speaking, he stormed out, slamming the door behind him.
"Old Master, where are you going?"
General Ni didn't look back, just tossed a sentence over his shoulder.
"I'm going out to take care of some things!"
