Translator: Novel Saga Editor: Novel Saga
"Highly improper! This is way too improper!" Xie Zhi Qiu got angry . His aged face turned black like charcoal, "She's a disgrace to the clan . This is making me furious . "
Xie Guangen was standing perfectly straight in front of him . He was continuously wiping his sweat while he suffered the Ancestor's anger…
On the other side, there were Tan Tan and Xie Dan Feng with their bloody noses and swollen faces .
Chu Yang and the others were sitting upright with serious faces . They weren't even glancing sideways .
"I didn't supervise the clan for several years . But, I hadn't expected that you would educate the children of our clan so badly," Xie Zhi Qiu had pointed his finger towards Xie Guangen . His finger was continuously trembling, "You've done a terrific job!"
Xie Guangen hung down his head, and didn't dare to utter a single word .
Xie Dan Feng bit her lips, and timidly walked over . She then held Xie Zhi Qiu's arm, and started rocking it to-and-fro . Then, she said while acting like a spoiled kid, "Ancestor…"
Chu Yang and the others got goose-bumps all over their bodies . [This vixen can act like a brat as well?]
It was becoming more and more unbearable for Xie Zhi Qiu . His body trembled, and his face turned ashen, "Don't call me out, Xie Dan Feng…" Xie Zhi Qiu's entire body shivered . And, teardrops rapidly came out from his aged eyes, "You were adorable during your childhood . I was always very fond of you . But, I hadn't expected that your father would teach you in a way that you would become so reckless… I'm bitter and sad…"
Xie Guangen fiercely opened his mouth . [How is it my fault? This… do you think that I don't want my daughter to act like a lady? But, this girl is such a spoiled brat… What can I do?]
He had opened his mouth, but he couldn't dare to speak anything .
After all, the consequences would've been extremely serious if he had spoken out these words… His daughter and her mother would've skinned him alive even if the Ancestor hadn't gotten angry…
"Minister Chu…" Xie Zhi Qiu looked at Chu Yang in shame . His aged face had turned as red as a monkey's butt, "She's a disgrace to our clan . This is so embarrassing…"
Chu Yang gave a hollow laugh, "No, no… it's fine . Young Miss Dan Feng is straightforward, carefree, and easy-mannered by nature . In fact, such a disposition is very rare in the Jianghu…"
Xie Zhi Qiu's aged face turned red . He coughed several times . [This girl is shrewish, barbarous, and dumb . How do you see her as straightforward and easy-mannered…]
He blinked his eyes and said, "Does it mean that… this marriage… Is it on board?"
His aged face had turned a deep shade of red as he asked this .
He said in his heart, [I was originally not too satisfied with this marriage . I had thought that a beautiful and talented woman was marrying an ugly person . But now, it seems that this is in fact the other way round . I should burn incense sticks in front of this guy for agreeing to marry this insane girl . After all, this is a golden opportunity . And, we mustn't lose it . Perhaps this granddaughter of mine will die in her maternal house if this Tan Tan doesn't agree to marry her…]
"Of course, it's on board," Chu Yang replied righteously and decisively .
"This is good . This is wonderful!" Xie Zhi Qiu felt relieved from a burden . He then smiled, and became more cordial . Then, he squinted and said, "Now, this Old Man feels as if God had set these two up . This couple is bestowed by the heavens . This being the case…"
He turned his head, and said in a dignified manner, "Guangen, can you put out the marriage token now?"
Xie Guangen became sullen . [When has it ever happened that the bride's side has put out the marriage token first to settle a marriage? First, the groom's side sends a matchmaker to the bride's family . Then, they discuss the proposal . Then, the bride's side has to refuse even if they are very much willing to agree to the marriage . Then, a second matchmaker is chosen and sent… then a third one . Then… the marriage is finally fixed . After that, the groom's side offers monetary gifts . Six betrothal gifts are arranged for the three matchmakers . Finally, their horoscopes are matched . And only then, the bride's side gives the marriage token…]
[This is how a marriage is finalized . ]
[How come you're asking me to put forward the marriage token first for my daughter? What kind of logic is this?]
"Um… this…" Xie Guangen traced his body . He indeed had some stuff with him . However, he wanted to pretend that he didn't .
"Father!" Xie Dan Feng stamped her feet . "What's the matter? How could you forget to bring such an important thing for such a big matter?"
Xie Guangen's face turned black . He felt helpless . So, he had no other choice but to say, "Let me look for it . "
"I'll help you find it," Xie Dan Feng rushed over with big and sudden strides . Then, she extended her hands, and put them in her father's pockets . She then complained, "Jeez… this is the matter of your daughter's lifelong happiness . How can you be so careless…?"
Xie Guangen almost fainted out of anger .
[This girl isn't even engaged yet, and she's taking the side of other people instead of her own family? Can't you see I'm putting on airs? Is this not for your own good? But, you just can't wait . You had to come to fish things out of my pocket, huh?]
[Look at you . You still haven't gotten married . You got badly beaten up by that man . But, you're still in such a hurry to get married? Didn't you just get beaten?!]
[This is absurd!]
Xie Dan Feng had already flipped her father's pockets upside down before he could prevent her from doing so . Consequently, a bunch of items fell on the ground with crashing sounds . Xie Dan Feng grabbed all the items, and held them in her bosom . Then, she happily ran to Tan Tan, pulled at him, and they both sat down .
"Take a look . Take a look . Take a good look . Which ones are good? Which ones are suitable?" Xie Dan Feng happily nudged him . She conveniently picked up a Purple Crystal Jade Pendant, and started to fiddle with it in order to to examine it, "I think this piece is suitable for me…"
She then stuffed that pendant into her pocket . Then, she grabbed another item, "This one's for you… Um, this one I want . And, this one's for you… This one…"
All the items from Xie Guangen's pocket were divided up like ill-gotten gains among Tan Tan and Xie Dan Feng within an instant .
Tan Tan's arms were full . He somewhat hesitated and said, "This… looks wrong, okay?" Tan Tan didn't have worldly wisdom, but he still felt somewhat awkward… because he knew that he was plundering things from his future father-in-law before he had even gotten married .
