His heart ached as he watched his daughter crying her eyes out and quickly comforted her: ” Don’t cry, Father will find him and bring him back for you. If you like him then he can be a live-in son-in-law.”
Having said that, he shouted to everyone in the Yang Family: “Quickly, go and find that young boy and bring him back!” He grabbed his daughter and pulled her along.
Everyone in the Ruan Family looked on dumbfoundedly. Then, Patriarch Ruan came to his senses and hurriedly shouted: “Brother Yang! Brother Yang! This marriage between our two families…”
“If you catch that young boy for me then the marriage between our two families will be nullified and I won’t pursue the groom fleeing on his wedding day today!”
The words of Patriarch Yang came from a distance and Patriarch Ruan’s face filled with joy when he heard them. He shouted immediately to everyone in the Ruan Family: “Hurry! Hurry up and chase after him! What are you doing here in a daze? Grab that boy and send him to the Yang Family!”
“Yes!” Everyone snapped out of their daze and quickly chased on forwards.
“Don’t run!”
“Stop!”
“Don’t run!”
“Catch him!”
“Don’t run!”
All of a sudden, everyone from the two families were chasing after the young boy in azure robes. The sudden movement alarmed the people from the other forces in the city.
As for Feng Jiu, when she saw the large group of people chasing after her, she cursed in a low voice, then sprinted into an alley and flashed into her space.
“Hoo, why are the folk customs here so bold? How can they just grab anyone they fancy?” Feng Jiu exhaled lightly and shook her head muttering: “It’s fair enough that the girl didn’t know any better, but how can the two Patriarches act so recklessly? How unruly!”
In her space, several of her contract beasts surrounded her with joy when they saw that she had run into space to hide from being chased by those people: “Master, Master!” That little white tiger had grown in the space of a few months and now had a chubby head.
“Alright alright, go away. I will go out once I’ve changed my clothes and disguised my face.”
She waved her hand and said, she sat in space for a while and then took out the items needed for her disguise.
On the outside, many people were alarmed by the commotion caused by the two families searching for her. Some family clans sent men to inquire. When they found out that the Patriarch Yang had spoiled his chubby daughter so lawlessly, the Patriarches just shook their heads and sighed.
In the Nalan Family, when the Patriarch Nalan heard the news from his youngest son, he shook his head and smiled: “Originally, the Yang Family and the Ruan Family had a marriage contract. Now they’ve caused such a big commotion because the Ruan Family’s son has run away from the marriage, and the Yang Family’s second daughter has taken fancy to a young boy passing by. These two family clans are too unruly, just too unruly.”
As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something and the Patriarch Nalan looked at his youngest son with a frown and asked: “Has your brother left the house these past two days?”
The man wearing embroidered robes next to him shook his head and said: “No, he’s been inside his courtyard ever since he came back that day. He also ordered that he isn’t to be disturbed. Yesterday, Younger Sister wanted to go and take a look but she accidentally triggered the mechanism. Fortunately, Elder Brother sent her out and she was fine, but not before she was lectured by Elder Brother.”
Upon hearing this, Patriarch Nalan frowned slightly: “I don’t think he looked alright when he came back that day. When I asked him, he wouldn’t tell me what was wrong either, so I don’t know what is going on.”
The eyes of the man in embroidered robes flickered when he heard this: “Father, I did hear a piece of news, but I don’t know if it’s true or not.”
“Just speak, why are you hesitating?”
