As her voice trailed off, instantly, the expression on Luo Qingtong's face turned icy cold.
She was disinclined to haggle over such trivial matters, yet did they truly think she was afraid of them?
Leave the Ling Family?
She really wanted to see who exactly would be the one to leave the Ling Family!
At the moment Luo Qingtong's face turned frosty, a clamor suddenly erupted outside.
"Hurry, hurry! The envoy from the Da Qin Holy Dynasty has arrived and is already in the main hall! Young masters and misses, let us hurry to the front hall to welcome them!"
A group of the Ling Family's servants rushed in, their faces beaming with joy.
They had just received the notification from outside that the envoy from the Da Qin Holy Dynasty had arrived to proclaim the imperial edict!
This was a matter of grave importance and could not be delayed!
Hearing what the servants said, Qiu Manling's face instantly brightened with delight. The envoy from the Da Qin Holy Dynasty had arrived, and as the legitimate daughter of the Qiu Family from Lanyue County, naturally, she would be the person of honor!
Even the Ling Family couldn't match her prestige!
How could she not attend such a spotlight-stealing event?
With that thought, she hurriedly gathered her skirts and rushed towards the exit!
However, she did not forget about Luo Qingtong, and with a turn of her eyes, she said, "Luo Qingtong, the envoy from the Da Qin Holy Dynasty is here, you should also go to the main hall and have a look!"
See for yourself the vast gap between the Ling Family and you, and give up any foolish dreams!
There was once a marriage contract between the Tianyu Imperial Family and her, something the Ling Family never had!
Wise up, Luo Qingtong, and stop pestering them!
Otherwise, once you go to the main hall, you will only be bringing humiliation upon yourself!
"Manling!"
Hearing what Qiu Manling said, the young members of the Ling Family immediately expressed their disapproval.
Qiu Manling's previous words had already been very excessive, and now she was asking Luo Qingtong to accompany them to the main hall to welcome the Da Qin envoy.
What was she trying to do?
To further humiliate Luo Qingtong?
This guest was invited by their Ling Family, by their grandfather.
Manling was going a bit too far!
One of the Ling Family's young members said to Luo Qingtong: "Miss Luo, don't mind her. Just wait here for grandfather!"
"It's fine," Luo Qingtong replied indifferently, "Let's go together!"
"I might as well behold the grandeur of the Da Qin envoy myself."
And see just how someone plans to make her disgrace herself!
As Luo Qingtong spoke, she walked out with Qiu Manling and the others.
Apart from Luo Qingtong, everyone in the procession was bubbling with excitement.
Especially Qiu Manling, who was chattering nonstop about the mighty aspects of the Da Qin Holy Dynasty and the renown of the Qiu Family in Lanyue County.
In reality, since its establishment, the Da Qin Holy Dynasty had many commanderies under its control.
Within the Da Qin Holy Dynasty, Lanyue County could at best be considered mediocre to above average.
The Qiu Family was well-known in Lanyue County, but that was just within Lanyue County. Looking at the entire Da Qin Holy Dynasty, they were not significant.
However, these young Ling Family members did not know this. Hearing Qiu Manling talk about the affairs of Lanyue County and the Da Qin Holy Dynasty, they were all visibly astounded.
To them, the Da Qin Holy Dynasty was powerful and mysterious.
And so was Lanyue County!
And the Qiu Family, which was so well-known within Lanyue County, was even more striking!
The group whispered excitedly among themselves as they headed to the main hall up ahead.
Just as they crossed the threshold of the side hall and were about to proceed to the main hall, suddenly, a loud bang echoed from ahead.
Followed by the furious voice of Old Sir Ling.
"Impossible! You are dreaming, wishful thinking!"
What had happened?
The crowd stood aghast, listening to Old Sir Ling's voice booming with rage from inside, wondering what had transpired!
