Not only did the Grand Dowager's face change slightly, even the guests in the room were all looking suspicious.
In front of the guests, the Grand Dowager held back and said nothing.
That evening, after sending the guests off, the Grand Dowager punished the couple by making them kneel in the ancestral hall and reflect. Xiao Yanting grabbed Fifth Madam by the collar, face full of rage, and said, "Speak. What exactly did you go to the Shen Family for?" He was already this old, yet his mother still made him kneel in the ancestral hall—entirely thanks to this woman.
"I truly didn't do anything, I only went over to pay a visit." Fifth Madam shrank back, then forced herself to answer.
Xiao Yanting shouted angrily, "Do you take me for a child? What sort of person is Old Madam Shen? Would she have dealings with you for no reason? Who do you think you are?" Then he paused and went on, "You useless, ruinous woman, one of these days you'll be sold by her and not even know it."
