Ruyan directly retorted, "Ridiculous! My mother was rightfully married to Ji Dongming, and I bear the surname Ji, which makes me a member of the Ji Family. My grandmother is still alive in the Ji Mansion. Does Old Cangyun want to go to Siyou Country to confront my grandmother?"
This statement left Old Cangyun speechless!
Indeed, although Feng Tianshuang came from a merchant's family, when she married Ji Dongming, she was brought back to the Ji Mansion through a grand ceremonial bridge.
Thus, in the eyes of outsiders, Feng Tianshuang's husband was Ji Dongming, and Ji Dongming was the father of Ji Ruyan.
Later, Ji Ruyan persuaded Emperor Fu Aotian to separate her mother from the Ji Mansion, thus severing any relations between the Feng Mansion and the Ji Mansion.
However, this was a private transaction between Ji Ruyan and Emperor Fu Aotian, and outsiders had no knowledge of it.
Old Cangyun, in annoyance and shame, looked at Ji Ruyan, "What exactly do you want?"
