Rong Yan has been scolded before such a big crowd. But the White Lotus kept on acting, her face sank: “Miss Yan, our parents won’t get involved in the dispute between us family, but you have gone too far! Our father has entitled my mother as Concubine Ping already, so no matter what, she should be living with father. You don’t only refuse us, but also try every way to obstruct their reunion and separate them! They aren’t even allowed to meet… Is this how you show your filial piety?!”
In the current dynasty, a man taking more than one wife was a common event. Thus, they didn’t find it improper when City Lord Yan took in Concubine Ping, even though they sneered at her because it was her second marriage indeed. Furthermore, Rong Yan has consciously or unconsciously pictured an image of her mother as someone who was suffering in silence while making concessions to avoid trouble, before the crowd.
She went so far as to make people believe that, actually, Mother Rong was City Lord Yan’s childhood sweetheart. But because Madame Yan schemed to obtain the Yan Mansion’s Madame seat, Lady Rong’s heart was hurt, and later got married in the Rong Family.
After Rong Family’s decline, City Lord Yan felt distressed for his former sweetheart, and thus brought mother and daughter in the Yan Mansion. Afterwards, their previous love reoccurred, making them feel congenial to each other, hence they got together again. Mother Rong didn’t take in account Madame Yan’s past hate and attempts in stepping between them. Instead, she was both kind and virtuous, endured humiliation and was even willing to become his concubine…
Obviously, this type of story was in line with that standard tale of an unfortunate love story, which everyone knew about. Therefore, they all sympathized with Mother Rong, who was unable to enter the Yan Mansion, nor take in charge of the house.
All the present musicians were refined and proud persons, who would never submit themselves to force and sympathized with the weak. Presently, they all thought that Yan Ziyuan was being too overbearing. Some also felt indignant and criticized Yan Ziyuan for being unfilial and arrogant…
Winning everyone’s compassion, the weak Rong Yan felt pleased in her heart. And to vent out her anger even more when looking at Yan Ziyuan’s bluish face, she continued to play the White Lotus part as she lightly sighed: “Ladies and Gentlemen, Ziyuan is still young and is not thoughtful. I won’t blame her since I am her Elder Sister, but I hope she will soon realize that our parents are getting older and need a partner who can share pain and warmth. Don’t use your life and death to threaten father and stop their reunion. As for me, what is this little bit of suffering? I just hope we can have a happy family with our parents…”
Yan Ziyuan was so angry that her hands started to shake. She was a brisk and straightforward girl, so she couldn’t talk in circles or trickily. Losing her temper, she went to slap that nauseating face of Rong Yan!
Her psychokinesis talent was not bad, plus a famous Master gave her some pointers when staying in the Yan Mansion. Her kung fu was also presentable. This slap of hers was swift and fierce like the wind.
On the contrary, Rong Yan’s psychokinesis was average, and her wu gong was just passable. She was praised for her flowery fist with fancy footwork, so how could she dodge Yan Ziyuan’s furious fist? Her face changed from the scare and yelled: “BIG BROTHER ZIYAN HELP!!”
As soon as she finished yelling, she didn’t sense anything on her face. Her heart jumped while opening her eyes. But all she saw was Gu Ziyan’s hand blocking Yan Ziyuan’s wrist…
At the crucial moment, Gu Ziyan was still the one who came in her rescue decisively!
Yan Ziyuan didn’t except for Gu Ziyan to stop her midway the slap. He grasped her hand, and heavily reprimanded her: “Ziyuan, you are too much!!”
