章 861: 863 Chapter: Beat into a Pig's Head_1

Bai Ruozhu's slap silenced everyone, and even Wang Tianyou who was struck was dumbfounded. Then, another slap landed across his other cheek.

"My husband has served the Imperial Court for many years and now holds a fifth-rank officer's post, a rank far beyond your reach. What right do you have to insult him?" Bai Ruozhu spat through clenched teeth, her eyes glaring with murderous intent at Wang Tianyou, her face so cold it seemed it could freeze over, instilling fear in those who heard her.

The bystanders all shrank back, worried about being implicated, but a look of admiration flickered in Ding Guangji's eyes. In his heart, Bai Ruozhu instantly became a paragon of valor among women; no wonder the Empress Dowager's aunt also liked this woman.

It was only then that Wang Tianyou came to his senses. Clutching his face, he roared, "You scoundrel, how dare you strike me?" Rolling up his sleeves, he looked ready to strike back.
