The old woman servants from Marquis Zhongyong’s Mansion had not yet left when Madam Yin, furious, swiftly penned a divorce paper. The ink still wet, she did not fold it but rather, clutching the sheet of paper, headed for the Duchess’s courtyard.

Madam Yin walked briskly along the way, frantically followed by Nanny Huang, four senior maids, and the three old woman servants from Marquis Zhongyong’s Mansion. Along the way, the servants of Duke’s Mansion made way for her, each of them astonished, not knowing what had happened.

As she entered the courtyard gate, Madam Yin did not continue inward but instead suddenly stopped in the middle of the yard, knelt to the ground, holding the divorce paper high above her head and began crying uncontrollably, repeatedly saying, "I beg my mother to grant this, I beg my mother to grant this!"

Ever since Ye Hongyang brought back that chambermaid, Yingying, and took her into his room, Duke An and the Duchess had both been on edge, worried that Ye Xinyan would cause trouble.

Duke An still remembered the first time he was taken aback when Ye Xinyan, in his study, had rebutted her father with such frigidity: If she took people to Maternal Aunt Liu’s room and beat her to death without reason, could anyone truly do anything to her, the legitimate daughter?

At this point, Yingying was only a chambermaid and had done no wrong. Based on Ye Xinyan’s current manner of handling things, she likely would not beat a perfectly good young girl to death.

So, what was she going to do next?

The uncertainty of the situation caused Duke An a great headache. He had already made arrangements for Nanny Qian and Qiao Laiyun to take precautions over the past few days, guarding against any mishaps in the mansion.

But no one expected that the person to cause a commotion would not be Ye Xinyan, but Madam Yin.

The maids of Yangyi Court spotted from afar that something was amiss. Before Madam Yin even entered, a young maid turned and hurried inside, to report to the Duchess. Seeing Madam Yin kneeling directly in the yard, she quickened her pace and rushed into the room.
