Ye Lu retorted without any courtesy.
The women's faces contorted with anger, saying furiously, "You're the one who's a harlot, no wonder the Crown Prince Shang doesn't want you. You're so shameless, birthing two illegitimate kids with some unknown man. Who knows what tricks you used to marry into the Shang Family and have others happily raise your kids."
"Dare to say that again." The repeated slander against her children left Ye Lu shaking with rage. How could she allow these contemptible women to insult her beloved children?
"So what if we do?"
"Then I'll shut you up."
Enraged, Ye Lu slapped the woman at the forefront.
Damn it, just because they're at a banquet doesn't mean she won't retaliate.
She was already divorced, no longer part of high society. Even if she had to bear the reputation of a shrew, she didn't care. But she would never tolerate anyone slandering her treasures.
"Watch your filthy mouth unless you want it smashed," she warned.
