Chapter 510 - 328: The Contradiction of the Ye Family

Hongji’s father returned home a bit earlier than his son, and instead of heading straight to the main house, he entered the adjacent smaller house—a routine he had grown accustomed to.
Mrs. Lai had resisted and made a fuss before, only to be threatened by her husband with a divorce and sent back to her family if she continued her tantrums.

Aunt Lai greeted her husband warmly, gently washing his hands, while the old man quite enjoyed the service his concubine provided for him.
