Patriarch Yang, who was walking in the hall, was stunned. “A messenger from the Nalan family? Let him in!” He shouted. Not long after, a young man walked in quickly.
“I’ve seen Patriarch Yang.”
“You’re from the Nalan family?” Patriarch Yang looked him up and down. His family didn’t a.s.sociate much with the Nalan family, so why did their messenger come to his door?
The servant boy took off his waist token and handed it to him. “Patriarch Yang, I’m the servant boy in the front courtyard. I was given orders to come here and convey a message to you.”
After confirming the validity of the waist token, Patriarch Yang handed it back to him and asked with doubt. “What’s the message?”
“This is what happened, your mansion’s second young miss left with our mansion’s guest. She should return home a little later, so please don’t get worried.” The servant boy told him the message quickly.
“Your mansion’s guest?” Patriarch Yang was taken aback when he heard it. “Why did my Xiao Er leave with your guest? What kind of person is the guest, is it a man or a woman? Will she encounter danger? Where did they go?”
Hearing him ask several questions in succession, the servant boy’s eyelids twitched. “I don’t know either. I am here only to send the message, so that Patriarch Yang doesn’t have to worry. The guest is a person that my patriarch trusts, there should be no problem. Since the message is already conveyed, I will go back first. ”
Seeing the servant boy bow and step back, Patriarch Yang frowned. He returned to the main seat and pondered the matter.
Why did his daughter go with them? She couldn’t have gone with a man, right? This girl was so worrisome and deliberately made him worry at home!
So, from the time the servant boy left the mansion, he kept wandering around the house while waiting. When the sun set over western hills, he still didn’t see his daughter return. As the sky gradually turned dark, he couldn’t sit still at home thinking about his daughter who went out with an unknown person and still didn’t return home when it’s already so late in the day.
“No, I have to go ask the Nalan family.” He called someone to get the sedan chair ready. When he came to the gate and was about to leave, he suddenly heard a familiar voice.
“Father!”
He looked back abruptly. “Xiao Er?” He walked over quickly, looking his daughter up and down. “Kid, where did you go? Why are you back so late? Don’t you know that I’m worried about you at home?” He sniffed with a frown. “Did you drink wine?”
“Hehe, Father, you have a good sense of smell. I didn’t drink much, only two cups.” Yang Xiao Er said happily. “Today I went to play at Sister Feng’s house. Their house is very beautiful. Father, I want to go again tomorrow.”
“Which Sister Feng? Where is she from?” Patriarch Yang scowled. He swept his gaze and stopped at the young man in white. “Who are you?”
Leng Hua stepped forward and saluted him. With a gentle smile, he said, “Patriarch Yang, my surname is Leng. My Mistress gave me an order to send your daughter home.”
“Father, he’s Brother Leng Hua.” Yang Xiao Er took her father’s hand, smiled at the gentle and handsome young man with her eyes scrunched up.
“Who is your Mistress?” He frowned. Who was this person and who was his Mistress? Was there someone he didn’t know in this city?
Leng Hua smiled kindly. “Patriarch Yang will know after a few days.” With this, he cupped his fists and saluted. “I’m taking my leave first.”
