A whimpering sound could be heard from afar. Needless to say, it was the little maid in blue next to Yu Ning who was crying. At this time, her eyes were red and swollen, and she looked even more haggard. Yu Ning, who was next to her, naturally wasn't much better.
Obviously, the two of them didn't sleep at all.
"Woo woo! …That stinky bastard actually didn't show up. Damn guy, we saved him out of kindness, and he just wants to watch our Miss jump into the fire pit?He's too heartless, woo woo! … "
Not waiting for Feng Hao to appear, the little maid cried and scolded.
"Alright, Xiao Lan, Young Master Hao has already saved us once, it's already worth it …"
Yu Ning comforted, her voice was slightly hoarse, and her eyes were a little red and swollen. In her eyes, there was only sadness, and her expression was very weak.
"Miss, why don't I risk my life to save you?"
The old man on the side gritted his teeth and made a suggestion.
"Uncle Heng, this can't be done, I can't abandon my father, my family, so, I can't run away."
Yu Ning's eyes showed a touch of determination.
"This …"
The old man was tongue-tied and couldn't say a word. In the end, he could only sigh heavily.
"Woo woo! …Miss, can't you be selfish for once? "
The little maid in blue on the side tried to comfort her.
Seeing this scene, even the four guards standing at the door sighed dejectedly.
"Hehe, what's wrong with being selfish for once?"
A rather familiar voice floated in.
"It's that big bastard's voice!"
The little maid in blue screamed out loud, and then the three of them were pleasantly surprised.
...
In the hall, the Great Elder of House Yu had a smile on his face, and he kept complimenting the people next to him.
"Great Elder, where is Yu Ning?"
The young man on the side glanced around the hall, and didn't see Yu Ning, so he asked the Great Elder of House Yu.
"Young Master Xi, please wait a moment."
After scanning the hall and realizing that Yu Shang was not around, the First Elder's face darkened. He solemnly vowed before hurriedly walking towards the side room.
In the study, Yu Shang had not slept the entire night. His eyes were bloodshot and he looked haggard.
Bang!
The door was kicked open, and the First Elder hurriedly rushed in with a few old men, his face full of anger.
"Yu Shang, you don't want to be the family head anymore, do you?President Xi and Young Master Xi have already come to escort the bride, why don't you go out to meet the guests? "
Standing in front of the study table, the Grand Elder glared at him and berated him.
"Did I say that I wanted to be the Patriarch?"
Yu Shang threw the paper in his hand. His eyes were bloodshot as he roared like a wounded beast.
How shameful was it to sell a woman for stability?He couldn't understand why these old fellows who had lived for hundreds of years would treat this as a good thing, a chance for the family to rise.
"You! …"
The Grand Elder glared at him, but he couldn't say a word.
Indeed, Yu Shang didn't want to be the Patriarch. He couldn't make a decision on anything. Even a small matter like this needed the approval of the Elders.
The Patriarch was just a puppet under someone else's control!
"Even if you don't want to do it, you have to do it. You are a member of House Yu, and the blood of House Yu flows in your veins. As a member of the family, the Patriarch, you should put the family's benefits and honor first!"
An elder stood out and berated sternly.
"Enough!"
Yu Shang slammed the table and stood up abruptly. A violent aura surrounded him as he roared. "Selling a woman for glory? Is this the honor of the family?Didn't you hear how the people in Desolate Ming City described House Yu?! "
"How dare you!"
An aura that wasn't any weaker than his burst forth from the elder's body. "They're just jealous, jealous that our House Yu is going to rise. Can't you even see that?"
"Haha! …"
Yu Shang was so angry that he started laughing. His face was full of sorrow and desolation.
These were some stubborn old men. He knew the personalities of these Elders like the back of his hand. In their hearts, there was almost no familial love. The family's benefits were their first priority. As long as it was beneficial to the family, they would jump on it without hesitation.
Just like this time, they had their eyes on the big tree that was the Xi Family. They didn't even ask about Xi Liang's habits and directly saw it as a rare opportunity. They made a decision and didn't allow anyone to change it. They viewed everyone who opposed this matter as their enemy!
"What are you laughing at?Yu Ning is also a member of House Yu. She should do her part for the rise of House Yu. This is her honor and her duty! "
An Elder stood up and said in a low voice. His words were sonorous as if what he said was the truth.
"Honor?Haha! … "
Tears streamed down Yu Shang's cheeks as a look of despair and sorrow appeared in his eyes. He knew that he would never be able to reason with these old men, so he simply sat down and closed his eyes, ignoring their questions and reprimands.
"Damn you, Yu Shang!"
The Great Elder was trembling with anger. He turned around and said, "Third Elder, call Yu Liang over. From now on, Yu Liang is the head of House Yu!"
"Yes!"
One of the Elders retreated quickly. After a while, he walked in with an ugly face.
"Where is Yu Liang?"
The Great Elder's face darkened.
"Yu Liang … he ran away!"
The Third Elder's mouth twitched. He looked angry.
"Good!Good! You guys are rebelling! "
The Great Elder was shaking with anger. "Do you think you can stop me like this?From now on, I am the acting head of the house. Now, Third Elder and Fourth Elder, bring Yu Ning to the living room to meet the guests. Go! "
"Yes!"
The two old men quickly walked out.
"Hmph!"
The Great Elder glanced at Yu Shang, who was sleeping with his eyes closed. He snorted and walked away.
"Ning Er, it's daddy's fault. How could I let you live in such a family …"
Yu Shang murmured sadly.
When the Third Elder and the Fourth Elder came to the courtyard where Yu Ning was, they opened the door and saw a young man in a green shirt that they had never seen before sitting there. He was talking to Yu Ning with a smile. Suddenly, the two of them had an ugly expression on their faces.
"Hehe, it seems that he is here to pick up Miss Yu Ning."
Feng Hao glanced at them and slowly stood up. He ignored the two of them and directly said to Yu Ning. "Miss Yu Ning, let's go out and meet the so-called guest."
"Yes."
To the surprise of the two Elders, Yu Ning didn't have any negative resistance. She stood up directly. On her delicate face, there was a blush.
