The woman in gray, frightened by Fang Yuying's order to take her away, clung desperately to Chu Qingzhi's clothes, crying out in terror, "I won't go, I won't go…"
Fang Yuying commanded sternly, "Take her away."
Chu Qingyue faced her with a cold expression, "Second Aunt, she belongs to our main family's household. It wouldn't be right for you to take her away, would it?"
Fang Yuying glared at Chu Qingyue, her gaze as if she wanted to devour her alive, "The authority to manage the Ning family still lies in my hands; the people here must listen to me."
Chu Qingyue, suppressing her inner fear, retorted, "Even so, Grandfather has said that each branch should not interfere with the others. Now that she is with our family, you cannot take her away."
Chu Qingzhi and Chu Qingning were both surprised to see Chu Qingyue's assertiveness. Second Sister was showing her mettle!
