The moon was then only four years old, and her sister Moon Sprout was only sixteen. Their mother had long since disappeared from the world after the moon was born, and now, suddenly, there was no father they had once regarded as standing on an indestructible wall in their lives. The two sisters had felt as if the sky had fallen.

Especially the moonlight. She was still young then, and of course, she was still young now. She didn't know the cruelty of "die" and had been screaming at her sister, Moon Sprout, all day long to see her father.

Every time she mentioned her father, it would bring tears to her sister's eyes. Gradually, although the small moonlight still missed her father, it stopped mentioning him.

The father of the two sisters were Family Head of the Yue Clan, so it wasn't as if the country didn't have a ruler. Although the Yue Clan wasn't a very large clan, it was still an absolute power in this Yue An City, so it couldn't be that they didn't have a ruler for a long time.

Thus, after the rest of the Yue Clan discussed the matter, they decided to elect their clan's great elder to be the Family Head.

This suggestion was not considered strange, but it was strongly opposed by Moon Sprout.

Although Moon Sprout was saddened by her father's passing, she was also suspicious. Their father's body had never been a problem and his strength was the highest in the entire Yue family. He was not injured by anyone.

So, on the surface, the sadness was hard to suppress. Secretly, Moon Sprout was constantly investigating his father's real death.

It was only on the eve of her clan members selecting the Great Clan Elder as their Family Head that she finally found some clues.

All the clues pointed to the Great Clan Elder who was about to be promoted to the position of Family Head by his clan members.

Under these circumstances, the Moon Sprout naturally wouldn't agree to let Grand Elder take the throne.

Although the Yue Clan also had elders, they weren't like a large clan like the Feng Family. Elders held a decisive position, and elders of the Yue Clan were more like a symbol, but they didn't have much authority to speak.

Moreover, the Yue Clan's position of Family Head was passed down through blood ties.

That was to say, Moon Sprout and Moonlight's father was the Family Head. Now that he was no longer here, Moon Sprout and Moonlight were the most qualified people to inherit the position of the Family Head.

Even though they were both girls, they were still minors.

Therefore, to the Great Clan Elder, who was about to ascend to the position of Family Head, Yue Hua's opposition was like pouring cold water over his head.

However, no matter how frustrated he was, the Great Elder and the supporters behind him couldn't deny the clan rule that was written on black and white.

However, how could the Great Clan Elder be willing to give up the position of Family Head that he had almost obtained, to Yue Hua, this little girl who was just a step away?

Thus, with the reason that Moon Sprout was still young, he only promised Yue Hua that he would temporarily take care of the family. If it was proven that Yue Hua didn't have the ability to become a Family Head, she could kick him out of the position of Family Head at any time.

Although Yue Hua was a girl, her talent was one of the best in the Yue Clan. Moreover, under the influence of her father, she was extremely patient. Even if the Great Elder tried to obstruct her, she could only clench her teeth and agree.

Over the past year, Moon Sprout had temporarily taken over the Family Head's position, managing the entire Yue Clan in a neat and orderly manner.

It was also because of this that many of the Yue Clan members who originally had doubts about Yue Hua becoming the next Family Head began to trust her to bring glory to the Yue Clan.

But how could the Great Elder of the Yue Clan sit back and do nothing?

He immediately thought of a plan.

It was to arrange a marriage for Moon Sprout and then directly marry her out.

As long as the moon sprout and married, how could a married woman like her continue to care about her family's matters?

Although this method was simple, it was undoubtedly extremely effective.

The moon bud naturally wouldn't obey.

As a substitute Family Head, if Yue Hua really didn't obey, Great Elder would have no other way.

Although Moon Grow had only been the Family Head for a year, she had received the support of many clan members. Furthermore, she was the daughter of the former Family Head and the most orthodox successor to the clan.

Moreover, ever since his father had died, the Moon Sprout had been extremely cautious of his and Moonlight's safety. Even if the Great Elder wanted to use some other method, he couldn't.

However, he took advantage of the elder's privilege to propose another condition to the moon bud.

If the Moon Sprout didn't want to marry, then as long as Moonlight could bring back a fresh stalk of Moonlight Grass before sunset today, he would never ask about matters within the clan ever again.

In the past, Moonlight Grass was known for emitting a faint glow at night. How to distinguish a Moonlight Grass from a newly picked one depended on the moonlight grass at night.

Moonlight grass harvested within a day would emit a cool glimmer like moonlight at night.

If it was more than a day, the light would be dimmer.

The difference between the two was extremely great. Naturally, it was extremely good.

The reason why the Great Elder made this request was to make things difficult for the Moon Sprout.

If she didn't want to get married, she could only let Moonlight go to the shore of the Moon Lake. However, Moonlight was only five years old, how could she gather fresh Moonlight Grass in two days and safely return?

Originally, the Great Elder thought that Moon Sprout loved this little sister dearly. In order to prevent Moonlight from being in danger, she could only choose the first condition.

However, Grand Elder didn't expect that Moonlight was already prepared to marry her. However, Moonlight had actually jumped out at that time and agreed to a condition that she wouldn't be able to fulfill.

Moon Sprout naturally didn't agree. However, although Moonlight Man was small, he had a good amount of foresight. As he pretended to agree to Moon Sprout's request, he secretly ran out while Moon Sprout wasn't paying attention.

However, she was only a five-year-old girl. Even if she managed to escape, she would be at her limits if she was able to safely reach the edge of the forest.

Until he met Feng Zhi's group that was preparing to enter the forest in the evening.

After saying all of this, Moonlight couldn't help but wipe his tears, "Brothers and sisters, I didn't lie to you guys on purpose. I just wanted to go in and pick some Moonlight Grass so that my sister wouldn't be bothered by the Great Elder, and I wouldn't have to marry that famous playboy from Yue An city …"

Hearing this, everyone felt a bit regretful.

These two sisters only thought of each other.

However …

Feng Ming could not help but burst out laughing, "Little girl, do you know what it means to be a popinjay?"

Moonlight's eyes were originally red and round. After hearing Feng Ming's mockery, he immediately shed tears and looked at Feng Ming with extreme disdain, "Brother Feng Ming, do you think that I'm still a three or four year old child?"

When everyone heard this, they also laughed.

Indeed, she was not a child of three or four; she was a child of five.

Seeing that everyone was making fun of her, Moonlight stomped his feet childishly. "Don't think that I don't know anything at my age. That popinjay's family already has eighteen concubines, how can my elder sister marry such a person!"
