Chapter 468: Chapter 467 I was worried they wouldn’t deal with me

A few elder ladies arrived at the guest court just as Luo Ning and the others were enjoying the cool air and eating fruit in the courtyard.

Seeing them enter, Luo Ning knew that their intentions were not benign.

However, she didn’t take it to heart, since she didn’t even spare Old Madam Luo any face, let alone these elder ladies.

As they walked in and saw that Jiang Xinxin did not approach them proactively or even stand up, they were particularly displeased.

One of them looked at Jiang Xinxin and took out a handkerchief to fan her nose.

With a look of disdain, she said, "These outsiders have no manners."

Jiang Xinxin glanced up at her, asserting, "Entering someone’s living space without permission, this so-called prominent family is nothing special."

The sarcasm angered one of the elder ladies, "You, a mere mistress, are truly presumptuous, not even considering where you are."

"That’s right, no matter how favored you are outside, once you’re in the Luo Family, even a phoenix must bow down to us, let alone a sparrow attempting to perch on a high branch," another chimed in.

Jiang Xinxin’s expression grew cold, "You are all birds indeed, but I never argue with beasts."

No wonder Luo Yicheng never discussed family matters with her or brought her to the Luo Family; he must have known the nature of these people early on.

"Really, as if anyone cares about this place."

"If it weren’t for Family Head Luo’s repeated invitations, we wouldn’t step foot here; so rid yourselves of that laughable superiority complex and go back where you came from."

She rarely quarreled or spoke harshly, but she couldn’t hold back upon seeing these people.

The Luo Family had forced her and her loved one apart for so many years—it would be insincere not to resent them.

"You!" The ladies did not expect Jiang Xinxin to be so confrontational and arrogant.

One elder lady, looking extremely agitated, exclaimed, "Impudence, sheer impudence! Not only lacking in manners but also in propriety!"

She then gestured with a wave of her hand, instructing, "Someone take Jiang to the back yard, and we’ll teach her how manners work."

They wanted to cause trouble and regain face for Lady Luo, naturally, with attendants in tow.

Soon, several stout women approached to seize Jiang Xinxin.

Jiang Xinxin, having no combat power, would naturally be unable to break free from their grip.

That’s what the elder ladies believed.

However, they overlooked the fact that Luo Ning was not to be trifled with.

Thus, before the women could get close to Jiang Xinxin, Luo Ning had already kicked them away.

Not only that, but Luo Ning also, catching the elder ladies off guard, slapped them squarely across the faces.

She even went as far as to grab and toss them out of the courtyard.

"We are here as guests of the Luo Family, not to be bullied by you."

"Whoever dares to cause trouble again will face more than just being slapped and thrown out."

With that, Luo Ning waved and grasped the Yanyue Blade, loosening the yellow silk tied around it.

Strands of evil spirit spilled out, heading towards the elder ladies who had been thrown out, leaving them with aching backs and sore waists.

Although these women were not particularly proficient in Feng Shui Xuan Shu, they still knew or understood a bit.

When they saw the evil spirit from the Yanyue Blade moving towards them, they were startled.

They all forgot about cursing and quickly scrambled up to run away.

They knew very well that if the evil spirit of the Yanyue Blade really entangled their bodies, they would at best suffer a bout of illness, and at worst, spend the rest of their lives plagued by sickness.

While Luo Ning did not go so far as to let the evil spirit cling to them, punishment was still meted out—one strand of evil spirit per person, ensuring none could escape even if they ran.

Had she let them all escape, the Yanyue Blade would not be known as the Luo Family’s protective treasure.

After finishing with the people, Luo Ning went back to continue drinking tea and cooling off.

Looking at the time, Luo Ning finally picked up the Yanyue Blade and said to Jiang Xinxin and the others, "I’m going out for a stroll."

Jiang Xinxin could roughly guess what her daughter was about to do and did not organize, "Go ahead, be careful."

Lu Xun and the others knew as well.

Luo Ranran said cheerfully, "I’ll accompany you."

Luo Ning nodded, "Alright!"

She said to Lu Xun, "You and Shi Ji just sit in the yard."

They had to have someone looking after her mother and brother to be at ease.

Lu Xun understood her meaning, "Alright, call me if anything happens."

Luo Ning acknowledged with a smile, "Mm."

On the other side, after those elder ladies returned, they first complained to Lady Luo.

Lady Luo, knowing those people were slapped by Luo Ning and thrown out of the yard, was not so angry but rather sent a maid to watch, anticipating some drama tonight.

She knew those women would surely incite the elders to act.

She had not thought of killing Luo Ning and her mother, after all, that would be hard to explain to her son.

But teaching Luo Ning and her mother a lesson and showing them who was in charge was quite necessary.

The key was that she did not need to do it herself; if her son found out later, she could say she only learned about it afterward.

Sure enough, after the ladies complained to Lady Luo, they sought out their own husbands to complain.

Several elders had not expected Luo Ning to be so arrogant and were very displeased. They gathered together to discuss how to intimidate Luo Ning.

Previously, none of them had attended the exchange meeting, nor had they gone to the Imperial Capital.

They had only heard unfavorable gossip about Luo Ning, saying she was too contradictory and disrespectful to the elders of the Luo Family and liked to go against the family.

In the eyes of these elders, a child born from a mistress, and a girl at that, daring to be so rebellious, was unacceptable in the Luo Family.

Previously, when Luo Ning was elsewhere, out of sight, out of mind, they did not take the initiative to intervene.

But now Luo Ning had come to the Luo Family, they could not let her continue unrestrained.

So, they decided to teach Luo Ning a lesson, to eventually take Luo Ning and teach her the rules, together with Jiang from the mistress side, not letting them overstep.

When Luo Ying heard about this, she hurriedly ran to the guest courtyard, just in time to encounter the two Luo Nings.

Seeing Luo Ning, her eyes shone, "Cousin."

Luo Ning greeted her with a smile, "Cousin, why are you breathless? What happened?"

Luo Ying grabbed Luo Ning’s hand, "Cousin, I heard that several of the Family elders are planning to join forces to deal with you."

She added worriedly, "You better prepare quickly, otherwise, if they succeed, they will take you and Aunt to establish rules."

Although she knew her cousin was very capable, this place was still the Luo Family, and two fists can’t defeat four hands, especially since the elders were also strong.

Seeing her worry, Luo Ning patted her hand with a smile, "Don’t worry, I’m actually hoping they try to deal with me."

The more they did so, the more they would push her father away, justifying her father’s eventual departure.

After all, a normal man couldn’t stand his wife and children constantly suffering right after coming to Luo Ning.

Especially since her dad loved them so dearly.

Luo Ying was stunned, "Ah?"

She hadn’t attended the exchange meeting last time, so she only heard about Luo Ning confronting the Luo Family members but hadn’t seen how capable she really was.

So hearing Luo Ning say this stunned her for a moment.
