Even Chen Sien's expression flickered.
"Old Madam, you mustn't!"
Qin Hongshu and the others paled, hastily kneeling on the ground. The rest followed suit. The Old Madam's status within the Qin Family was far too high. If she were truly to fight someone to the death, wouldn't the people of River City scorn them and curse their family name?
"Old Madam, this..."
Hearing the Old Madam call Patriarch Chen a "youngster" and even talk about fighting to the death was a clear threat to the Chen Family. Chen Sien's expression turned ugly, and he was about to speak.
"I didn't ask you, so you'd best keep your mouth shut."
The Old Madam interrupted Chen Sien directly. Though her tone was placid, Chen Sien clamped his mouth shut, not daring to speak. His eyes, however, turned grim.
"What? Are you not convinced?" the Old Madam snorted, striking her cane on the ground. "Even Chen Ruoping wouldn't dare interrupt me when I am speaking, let alone a junior of the Chen Family like you."
