Chapter 10 (Part 1)
Dong Fang Ling, followed by several servants, walked towards the door of an elegant room. Before he have knocked on the door, a gentle voice resounded out from the room.
"Come in." following her words, Dong Fang Ling pushed open the door and stepped into the room. In the room, on a small round chair, sat an elegant lady, and behind her, stood a pretty girl.
"Aunt Hui, you have come back."
The lady is Fang House’s madam (Fang Yi’s mom). Having head news of her daughter, she quickly rushed back from her long stay at the temple to confirm that it was really her missing daughter. She then quickly prepared have her future son-in-law visit her house.
"Fang Ling, Aunt Hui has finally found Chuchu, come ah, come meet your fiancee!" Madam Fang happily took her daughter's hand, and pushed her towards Dong Fang Ling. Looking at their well-paired appearances, she could not help but let out a big smile.
"Aunt Hui wants you two to get married as soon as possible! Although I can’t help but miss Chu Chu to marry her off right after finding her, but it is good that we live close to each other, so I can always visit to see her when I miss her. "
Dong Fang Ling courteously, yet indifferently glanced at the shy, blushing Chu Chu in front of him. He knew Aunt Hui had good intentions in mind, however, he was here at Fang House to settle things.
"Aunt Hui, I have come today to speak about this matter, I am sorry, but I can not marry Chu Chu.”
"Why? What do you mean?" After hearing what he said, Madam Fang became furious. She had finally found her long lost daughter, but he wants to annul this marriage? What about Chu Chu?
"I already have someone I like, and Bing’er will be my only wife." Dong Fang Ling said, as he look directly at this respectable elder. It was regrettable that he had to create a breach in their house’s relationship, but he had to annul this marriage.
"It seems what my son said was true, you really are set on marry this Bing’er girl… for this girl you unhesitantly…. You have really disappointed Aunt Hui ah. ”
Madam Fang was bitter, out of the four sons of Dong Fang House, she had liked him the most and had looked forward for him to become her son-in-law. She had really admired his calm attitude, she had never thought that in the end, he would disappoint her like this.
"I'm sorry, Aunt Hui, I do not like Chu Chu, if we were to marry, neither of us would be happy, and I know you do not want that."
"This child, after you threaten Fang Yi, now you threaten me!" Madam Fang quickly snapped back, she had already heard everything from her son. However, she did not believe Dong Fang Ling would say things such as annulling the marriage… Now that she had heard him say it from his own mouth...
"Mother, this daughter can not marry him."
Chu Chu who had been silent suddenly opened her mouth. The words she had said supprised both Madam Fang and Dong Fang Ling.
"Chu Chu,what did you just say?"
"Mother, this daughter already has someone she loves, and we already have promised to wed. Because of my wish, he has accompanied me back on this trip." Chu Chu’s beautiful face flushed with a shade of red, she looked down and shyly tugged at the handkerchief in her hand.
"Chu Chu, this man, could it be..."
"It’s Brother Shao Qin, it was him who had found me and persuaded his family to adopt me. If not for him, I would not be here, and we are in love and before we marry, I had requested him to first visit Luoyang City.
Sixteen years ago, in the western outskirts of Luoyang, the father and son of Shen House had found a crying baby girl, it was then when eight year old Shen Shao Qin saw this baby girl and had taken a liking to the cute baby. He insisted and persuaded his father on adopting her, and because the Shen family only had one son, his father did not mind raising a daughter.
And that was the reason pertaining as to why she made a trip to Luoyang. It was all my chance, she did not expect that she would reunite with her family, but with her bird jade pendant left on her as a baby and the red mole on her left chest, it was confirmed that she was truely the long lost daughter of the Fang House.
Madam Fang silently ponder for a while and then sighed.
Fine! It was perhaps this two were not fated to be, as each of them already have their own love, this marriage will be canceled. Fortunately, Shen Shao Qin’s family background was not bad, and he tried Chu Chu with sincerity. She was perhaps muddleheaded, and did not notice their feelings for each other earlier.
"Mother, you know the girl who had saved you yesterday.. She has also saved me once, she is Bing’er, the one Dong Fang Ling loves.”
Chuchu was afraid that her mother still hesitated and hurriedly added. Chu Chu was indeed Xiao Lian, if not for Bing’er, she would not have been able to come back, let alone talk about marriage. When she saw the injured Bing’er yesterday, she was surprised, it turned out Bing’er was the benefactor to both her and her mother.
"What?" Madam Fang exclaimed. What was going on with today; one shocking news after another, it was hard to digest it all...
"Be clear, how is Bing’er here? How is she?!" Dong Fang Ling no longer had a calm facade, and anxiously asked, gasping Chu Chu’s hand.
He had spent two days looking for her in Luoyang City. He had initially wanted to annul this marriage and then to the mountains to look for her as she may have went home, he did not think that Bing’er would end up in Fang House.
Chu Chu was awed by Fang Ling’s sudden change, she gulped and said: “When my mother was making her trip home from the temple, she was ambushed by bandits. Because she did not bring much gaurds, they were quickly losing, fortunately, Binger appeared, and saved my mother. But her left chest was stabbed by a short blade, the doctor said the blade struck one inch deeper, Bing’er would not have made it. However, her injury is still critical, she has a high fever and has yet to wake up…”
Dong Fang Ling’s body shook, his face was filled with dread. His tall stature turned to leave into the inner rooms. At this moment a petite figure was seen running in with a panicked face.
"Not good! The heavily injured girl in the guest room was taken by a grey clothed, middle aged man!"
