“No, I did not see Miss, Housemaster. Miss never showed up at theauction the entire time, but…”
“Eh?”
Seeing the inquisitive look from the Housemaster, the deacon eldersmiled with a hint of awkwardness and said, “Housemaster, I did, however, seeMiss Xiao Xiao. She looked just like Miss and is a very pretty girl!”
“Hmm….” Luo Zhengde still had a indescribable look on him as hecontinued to ask, “Can you be certain that she is, indeed, a master beasttamer?”
Luo Zhengde was quite sure that was the truth, but he couldn’t help b.u.t.to ask again.
“We never witnessed her summoning any mystical beasts, but on the day ofthe auction, Miss Xiao Xiao said she went and tamed the iron-armed bear. Thiscame directly from her, I trust that Miss Xiao Xiao wouldn’t lie to everyone!”
“Hmm, okay. Thank you. You are dismissed!”
“Yes, Housemaster, I shall retire now!”
After the deacon elder had taken off and before Luo Zhengde could evensigh, a woman walked in from the resting area in the back of the study, and itwas his wife.
“Well? Are you regretting now?” Mrs. Luo wasn’t looking too happy. Hertone was filled with disgruntledness and mild irritation.
“What are you talking about?!”
Luo Zhengde glanced at her and looking as though it was no big deal.
Mrs. Luo casted him a stare and said, irritated, “d.a.m.ned old man, othersdon’t know what was going through your mind, but you can’t fool me! If only youhadn’t…..”
“That’s enough, what do you want?” Luo Zhengde always launched intoanger whenever the old days were dredged up. His youngest daughter had shamedhim all these years, how could he be happy about that?
“You men are all like that. None of you are a good thing. Every time itwas about the big picture, the family, everything else are secondary…”
“Are you done?”
As his wife went on and on, Luo Zhengde’s mood went down and down. If itwasn’t his wife fussing about it today, he would never had summoned the deaconelder in the first place.
“What? Was I wrong when I said you weren’t happy about it?”
Mrs. Luo, who had always been a quiet and tender woman seemed to be acompletely different person today. An angry look on her face, she said, “Backin the days, you were determined to break up Luo Yuqin and Cheng Biyuan,causing me to not be able to see my daughter for dozens of years. All that inthe name of ‘for the greater good of the clan’, and now….
“You’ve heard it yourself, Gu Gaoyi of Dong was the sworn brother ofCheng Biyuan. Again, he bullied Yuqin and her family for the greater good oftheir clan. What he did was immortal. Whatever he got now, he asked for ithimself!”
“You are a woman! What do you know?”
Luo Zhengde furrowed his brows. Even though he, too, was upset how GuGaoyi could have no regards to his relationship with Cheng Biyuan and mistreathis daughter and her family, he’d never admit to it in front of anyone.
“You are right, I don’t get it. You are all cold blooded. You had mestayed away from my Qin-er all these years. I don’t care, you are going with meto visit her!”
At this moment, Mrs. Luo shown her unreasonable side. She had noticedthat her husband had been showing signs of remorse recently. She did not wantto let the opportunity slipped by.
“Impossible! Don’t even think about it!” rejected Luo Zhengde solemnly.He couldn’t help but thought about the words of his older daughter and herhusband. Finally, he said reluctantly, “If you want to see her, you summon herback here!”
“Summon her back here?”
Mrs. Luo casted him a surprised glance. She had tried to write to herdaughter secretly in the past and was yelled at by him when he found out.
Mrs. Luo did not comment on that, but just looked at her husband infront of him with her piercing look and asked, “Old man, do you really plan tonever seen your daughter again till the day you die?”
