If not for Yingâer then I wouldnât throw my face to shame like this eitherâ¦.
âBrother-in-law, Yingâer has been beaten and Mingâer crippled, arenât you going to do something?â Old Madam Ye gnashes her teeth, âIf word gets out that a bitch from the Holy Land is this arrogant at our home, wouldnât it be the same as shaming you?â
Instead of getting angry, Bai Chang Feng only lit up with glee: âOh? Someone beat Ye Ying and crippled Ye Ming? Oh do tell, who is it? I must go thank them personally for their efforts.â
âBrother-in-law!â
Livid in her face,?What does he mean by that? How can he be helping outsiders over his own family?
âOriginally I wanted to keep this thing for Mingâer when he needs it.â Making a cold chuckle when reaching into her pocket, âSee this? Itâs something Sister left me before her death.â
The statement causes the grandpa to narrow in at the specified jade from the old ladyâs hand. Then when he does recognize the item, his pupils shrank at the sight.
âBefore my sister passed away, I told her you would not treat me like family after sheâs gone. For this reason, she gave me this jade specifically just in case so you would answer a request from me!â Cocking her chin cheekily, âOriginally I only wanted you to help Mingâer find a good wife with this when the time comes, but now you left me no choice but to use it for the sake of Yingâer.â
Once Yingâer becomes Bai Zhanpengâs goddaughter, finding a good wife for Mingâer afterwards would be easy. After all, who wouldnât want to get a connection with the Medicine Sect? This will kill two birds with one stone!
âBrother-in-law, if you still have feelings for my sister then you must answer my request.â
Based on the silent reaction from the man across from herself, the old lady knew sheâs on the right tract. After all, thereâs no way Bai Chang Feng would act like this if he didnât hear about the story before.
âFine.â Dry in his throat, the man answers with a tinge of sadness in his voice.
As the old lady suspected, the old grandpa readily agreed to the demand due to his longing for his deceased wife. So why does the jade hold such importance? Itâs because itâs their love token!
âSo you are agreeing?â Gleeful in her voice, the old lady bursts out asking.
âHowever! The premise is that there is no third-generational heir to my Medicine Sect. Only then will I agree to your request.â Evoking a cynical smile, Bai Chang Fengâs words sounded almost mocking in the way he spoke.
This definitely didnât slide past the old ladyâs ear. Darkening in her expression, Old Madam Ye grew firm: âAre you playing me Brother-in-law? What if you have Zhanpeng pick up some random woman and have her bear a child? Thatâs the same as denying me outright.â
âHo,â Sneering over that statement, âI would never force my son into marrying a woman whom he doesnât love. Even if he doesnât marry or have a child, Iâm perfectly fine with that. As for your request, why would I need to make excuses? Or are you implying you can force me into granting your request?â
Shuddering upon making contact with that cold gaze, Old Madam Ye grew unsure: âUhh, fine. Brother-in-law, I hope you wonât forget your promise to me today.â
âLeave the jade and go.â Closing his eyes after the dismissal, Bai Chang Feng was done with her and didnât want to spare even a single glance.
Understanding this much, Old Madam Ye knew sheâs overstayed. Carefully placing the jade behind, the old lady left in a hurry like sheâs afraid the man would change his mind at any moment. However, that anxious appearance instantly changed to a joyous grin after coming out to the courtyard.
âSo what if that bitch is a princess of the Holy Land? My granddaughter will also be the young lady of the Medicine Sect soon. I like to see others bully my granddaughter then!â
In the future, things like yesterday will never happen again!
