The Great General's residence seemed calm that day, but everyone was panicking on the inside. The servants and attendants, especially those who had witnessed the old madam's attack, cursed her endlessly behind her back.
'She nearly stabbed her own son to death. How could someone be so heartless?'
The steward and attendants present at the time had been too stunned. The moment when Ye Qianning had tossed the old madam aside with one hand happened so fast that, in their shock, they had mistaken it for a simple push.
That afternoon, news of Xiang Minghou's grave injury had spread to all the major manors in the Capital City.
The sun had already set by the time the Beili Emperor found out. He was so furious he wanted to chop off the heads of the Xiang family's old madam and second branch. The war on the northern border was going terribly.
