The Fifth Master never imagined that these concubines and children would be brought to the Qi family in such a high-profile manner, and Lin Ruoxuan even revealed this ridiculous matter in front of everyone.

He didn't know how to respond for a moment. He felt like he was frozen in place, not daring to move.

The crying and shouting in the yard became louder and louder, and the two concubines hated each other, their eyes full of hostility, and they were thorns in each other's eyes and flesh.

They stood in front of the Fifth Master, each holding their children, and kept crying, fearing that they would be abandoned by the Fifth Master.

The children were their only bargaining chip to stay in the Qi Mansion, so at this moment they tried their best to make the children cry even louder.

"Master!" one of the concubines cried bitterly, staring at the fifth master, "Madam also said that she would take good care of us and give us status, so please take us back."

The other concubine was not to be outdone. She grabbed the Fifth Master's sleeve tightly and choked up, "Master, you promised to take my son and me into your house. The child is your own flesh and blood. You can't disown him!"

The children realized that they were children of concubines and shouted even more fiercely. Their cries echoed in the courtyard and hurt everyone's ears.

In this situation, all the servants in the yard lowered their heads, trembling with fear and not daring to speak.

The Fifth Lady was originally still smug, but after hearing the children crying, her face gradually lost color.

The cries of "Daddy" seemed to be hammering at her heart, making it hard for her to breathe.

Her eyes swept across the children whose faces were red from crying, and she saw the two concubines standing in front of the Fifth Master, as if they were more like his legal wives than she, the legal wife.

Madam Wu’s eyes went dark, her head tilted, and she fainted, her body falling heavily against the back of her chair.

After she fainted, the whole situation got completely out of control.

Seeing this, Lin Ruoxuan walked forward calmly and chuckled, casually poured a mouthful of tea from the teacup beside her, and sprayed it directly on Madam Wu's face, saying unceremoniously: "Madam Wu, wake up. Things have just begun, you can't fall down so soon."

Her tone was cold and somewhat mocking, a response to the Fifth Lady's arrogant reaction just now.

The Fifth Lady's face was wet with tea. She suddenly opened her eyes and saw in a daze that the two concubines and the child were still standing in front of her husband, openly.

The humiliation and anger instantly filled her heart. She couldn't help but let out a scream. Her chest heaved violently, and then she fainted again from anger.

At this time, the servants nearby had already gathered around in a panic, shouting, "Quick, go get the doctor!"

Lin Ruoxuan waved her hand calmly and said with a sneer, "There's no need to look for a doctor. The old lady's doctor is still in the mansion. Please ask him to come and see the fifth lady."

The servants obeyed the order and hurried to call the doctor.

A moment later, the doctor came in hurriedly. After checking the pulse, he said in a deep voice: "Fifth Madam is just anxious and angry, and her qi and blood are flowing backwards. She will get better once her emotions stabilize."

Sure enough, the Fifth Lady woke up quickly, but when she opened her eyes, she saw that the two concubines were still standing in the hall and did not take her, the legal wife, seriously at all.

The Fifth Madam's face turned pale again, and the anger in her eyes almost burst out.

She struggled to sit up and yelled hysterically, "You bunch of bitches, I'm going to kill you! Get out of the capital right now with these bastards, or I will never let you go!"

The two concubines looked at each other, trembling while holding their children, but they were unwilling to leave and still stood there stubbornly.

They also knew that if they were driven out by the Fifth Madam today, they would probably have no place to stand in the future.

The Fifth Madam spoke in a sharp and vicious voice, "I tell you, none of these concubines are allowed to stay in the capital! Get out of here, and never enter the capital again! Otherwise, I will divorce the Fifth Master and bring disgrace to the entire Qi family!"

The ladies who were watching on the scene tried to persuade them on the surface, but in their hearts they were gloating over their misfortune.

"Hey, Fifth Madam, why are you so angry? For the sake of the children, you have to be patient." The second wife shook the handkerchief in her hand and pretended to persuade her. Her tone sounded gentle, but it revealed a bit of contempt.

The third wife also echoed, "Yes, Fifth Madam, men sometimes do some improper things outside. As a legal wife, you should be more generous. Besides, these children are the blood of the Qi family. How can you be so decisive?"

The Fifth Lady's face turned pale and she was shaking all over. She was already furious, and hearing these "persuasion" was like adding fuel to the fire.

She glared at the women who hypocritically advised her to "be patient", and her anger almost burst out of her eyes.

She stood up suddenly, pointed at the two concubines and shouted, "You two bitches, get out of here right now! Otherwise, I will strangle you to death with my own hands today!"

The Fifth Lady's voice was as sharp as a knife and filled with extreme anger.

The two concubines were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They hugged the children tightly, with fear in their eyes.

Seeing this, the children cried even more miserably and pulled at their mother's clothes in panic, as if they were worried that they would be kicked out of the house at the next moment.

Lin Ruoxuan stood aside, watching coldly with a faint smile on her lips.

She was not afraid of making a fuss, and deliberately said slowly, "Fifth Madam, you just said that as the legal wife, you should be tolerant and generous, and even the concubines and children outside the house should be brought into the mansion and well settled. How come this magnanimous and tolerant heart has disappeared now? Everyone heard those generous words just now."

Lin Ruoxuan's words were like a sharp sword, directly piercing the Fifth Madam's sore spot.

The Fifth Madam's face turned red instantly, and she glared at Lin Ruoxuan, wishing she could tear her to pieces.

But she was speechless. Her words of "being lenient with a concubine" had indeed become the biggest joke of the moment.

Seeing this, the other ladies also made sarcastic remarks and pretended to be concerned.

"Yes, Fifth Madam, you just said it well. Whether it's a concubine or a mistress, they are all blood of the Qi family. They still need to be brought into the mansion and not let outsiders laugh at them."

"As the legal wife of the Qi family, you should set an example. How can you get angry over such a small matter?"

Every one of these words was like a needle prick. Madam Wu was filled with rage and her chest heaved even more violently.

Seeing that the Fifth Madam was already mad with anger, Lin Ruoxuan sneered in her heart and decided to add fuel to the fire.

She pretended to be innocent and said, "Since this matter is so difficult, I have a suggestion - why not ask Old Madam Qi to make the decision. After all, the old lady is the head of the family and is highly respected. She will definitely be able to handle this matter fairly and impartially."

The Fifth Madam seemed to have grasped the last straw, her eyes lit up, and she immediately agreed: "Yes, please ask mother to make the decision! I believe mother will give me justice and will never let these two concubines disrupt the rules of the Qi family!"
