“Alright, you can stop saying that.Didn’t get blackmail them for a large sum back in the days? You can’t be sayingthat anymore.”
“What do you know! That’s her betrothalgift. How else could I get the to pay that? Have you forgotten how they sentthe sedan chair over? Every time I thought about it I want to kill the Cheng’s.How they had humiliated Qin’er!”
Thinking about that,the old madam was speechless. The betrothal gift for her precious daughter wasworse than that for a concubine. Of course that had greatly upset her at thetime.
“Okay, stop thinkingso much. Let’s see what happens in the days to come. Your daughter will alwaysbe your daughter. Nobody can change that!”
Luo Zhengde looked athis wife. He understood how she felt. After a moment he said, “Right now toomany interesting parties are watching Willow Village. Let’s not go there andtake part in this madness. Let’s wait till things settle down a bit before weplan our moves.”
The old madamunderstand the meaning of her husband’s words. If she wanted to see herdaughter, she can’t rush things.
But hearing the wordsfrom her husband made her realized that he was only stubborn on the outside butsoft on the inside. All said and done, it has more or less been decided thatshe will be visiting her daughter and grandchildren in the future
Things were more orless settled after their discussion.
Daling Town.
Inside the courtyardof Lai Yue Inn.
A thirty-something manin a brocade robe was sitting at the seat of high status. Deacon Bai, DeaconLin, and Innkeeper Zhu all stood next to him; there were no seats for them.
He was the young ownerof Lai Yue Inn and also the Lord of Green Mountain Manor. He rushed there afterreceiving the report from Deacon Bai.
After listening to theirrecount of the incident, the young lord understood that they were late in thegame. But he also realized that they lucked out being late in the game; if hewould have gone to Willow with those from School of Divine Condor, he wasn’tsure he would have flared any better.\n“Good job, every one!”said the young lord to the three, praising them for their work.
“Thank you, youngLord!”
The three of thembowed and said at the same time.
“Speaking of, rumorhad it that Cheng Biyuan and his two sons are all beast tamers, but you justtold me that the Cheng’s older maiden. What is going on?”
“Well…” said DeaconBai with a bitter smile, “Young Lord, we didn’t lie to you. We truly confirmedthat the older Miss Cheng is the beast tamer. Deacon Bai and I can attest tothat. As for whether Cheng Biyuan and his two sons are beast tamers, we can’tguarantee that!”
“Oh…”
The young lordfrowned, “Theoretically, the others certainly didn’t spread any untruthfulwords; which leave us with the question that who really is the beast tamer atthe Cheng’s. No way the entire family are beast tamers, that’s just ridiculous!”
“Young Lord, we arecertain Miss Cheng is the beast tamer!”
After Deacon Baifinished, Deacon Lin nodded in agreement with Deacon Bai.
“Okay, let’s put asidewho truly is the beast tamer!” The young lord pondered for a little while andasked again, “What’s it’s like at Willow right now? Were we able to find outwhat’s going on with the Cheng’s?”
“Reply young Lord,ever since the day those from School of Divine Condor had returned, no matterhow many more people we’ve sent, we weren’t able to get close to Willow. Therewere an unbelievable amount of poisonous snakes surround them and none of ourpeople could get through. Even if they were able to get through the walls ofsnakes, on the Willow side, it was further guarded by packs of wolves and tigers,each taking one side. It was quite impossible to find out what’s going on withthe Cheng’s.” laughed Deacon Bai bitterly.
