"I have no time for an old man," Madam Li looked over her shoulder and gave Gu Ming a dead pan look, "My son is waiting for me."
"What?! Your son?!" Gu Ming frowned," You dare talk about your son when the clan is in such crisis? Have you no shame Li..."
"Shut up you old coot... Say one more word and I will have your tongue ripped off!"
"Why...?! H... How dare you speak to me like that, old third?!" Gu Ming stammered in sheer disbelief because the Third Elder had been his closest political ally opposing Gu Yangtian at every possible opportunity.
But suddenly the man had changed allegiance and was viciously defending Madam Li like a fiercely loyal guard dog. Why?
"Why you ask? The Matriarch just single-handedly saved this entire clan's from total disaster while you stood in here crying and complaining like a pathetic child," the third elder held his head high and looked at Gu Ming with pity, "So you will address her with the absolute, unquestionable respect she deserves!"
