Mrs. Dong turned to look at Bai Qihe, who sat pale and powerless in the Clan Leader’s seat, and said, "Today, I, Mrs. Dong, will say this here. If anyone dares to target my daughter again and disturb her recovery, then I, Mrs. Dong, will apologize to the ancestors and take the orphans and widows of the Bai family out of the clan! The evil name of the Shuoyang Bai Clan is already known throughout the world. Even if I leave the clan with the women of the Bai family in the capital, others will only think that we, orphans and widows, have suffered great injustice. By then... I want to see how you plan to continue the Bai Clan’s honor! Will this Shuoyang City still be yours to lord over!"

"Mrs. Dong! Don’t get too arrogant. You are just a daughter-in-law of the Bai family, not a descendant of the Bai family! Your surname is not Bai! What right do you have to talk about staying or leaving the clan!" an elder said indignantly, smashing his cane on the bluestone floor with a loud bang.

"Just because my sister-in-law is the mother of the Princess of Zhen. Just because the Princess of Zhen has never disobeyed my sister-in-law in the slightest!" Mrs. Li, trembling with anger, thought of how Bai Qingyan and her daughter used to face such a clan and such vile people, and truly wanted to leave the clan immediately. "If you don’t believe me, let’s try! We, the daughters-in-law of the Bai family in the capital, dare to... do you, a group of cowards, dare?" _{freeweɓnovēl.coɱ}

Upon hearing these words, someone immediately pulled at their elder, preventing them from saying anything further, for fear that words might escalate, and the Princess of Zhen would really leave the clan in the end.

Mrs. Dong said coldly, "There is humanity among beasts; those who look different are shunned. Among people with beastly hearts, how many can truly recognize it. Ancient people resembled beasts but had great virtues."

Mrs. Dong’s gaze swept over those elders of the clan who abused their age and status, "Modern people appear human, but how can one measure a beastly heart."

The ancestral hall erupted like a boiling pot because of Mrs. Dong’s words. The elders all stood up and accused her of being a selfish daughter-in-law who did not consider the future of the Bai Clan.

Mrs. Dong turned to look at the Fourth Madam, Mrs. Wang, who was tightly protecting her two daughters in her arms, and signaled for her to leave first. Mrs. Wang hurriedly took her two daughters out of the ancestral hall.

Mrs. Dong also called out to the Third Madam, Mrs. Li, and the Fifth Madam, Mrs. Qi, and the sisters-in-law left the hall together.

Before leaving, the Fifth Madam, Mrs. Qi, looked back at the startled and surprised Bai Clan members in the ancestral hall and calmly said, "The mouse has skin; humans have no decorum! Humans without decorum, why not die? The mouse has teeth; humans have no restraint! Humans without restraint, why not die? The mouse has a body; humans have no propriety, humans without propriety! Why not die sooner?"

The elders were so furious that they almost couldn’t catch their breath.

Before boarding the carriage, the ladies of the Bai family in the capital heard the chaotic noise in the ancestral hall asking for a doctor.

After recounting the events in the ancestral hall, Bai Jinhua frowned at Bai Qingyan, "Eldest Young Lady... why don’t the clan members learn their lesson?"

"It’s not that they don’t learn, but someone is instigating them from behind." Bai Qingyan was not angered after hearing this. The former Clan Leader, Bai Weimei, having lost his son Bai Qiyun, naturally harbored hatred in his heart and wished for the Bai family in the capital to fall out with the clan, preferring Bai Qingyan to have no one to use.

Having dealt with the former clan leader, Bai Qingyan believed that he understood her temperament well, knowing that she would never seek favors from the Crown Prince for the Bai family’s good-for-nothing descendants. This was why he devised this plan, hoping to estrange Bai Qingyan from the clan so that she could not employ the clan members currently in use.
