Da Qiao was furious with the Ying family. Did they think that this was a matter of can and cannot? If she could search for Ying Nan in a few minutes then she would have done it without them telling her but they were telling her that Ying Nan went missing last night and yet they were coming to look for her now!
" Are you out of your mind, Old Master Ying?" Da Qiao questioned him angrily as she looked at him. She then turned her attention to Old Madam Ying and said, " He is like this but you are Ying Nan's mother right? He did not come home for an entire night and you did not care? Old Master Ying is Ying Nan's stepfather he will not care about her but you should at least care about him!
What were you thinking?"
Old Madam Ying lowered her head, she did not say anything and simply continued to look down. She could see the villagers looking at her with disgust and annoyance as if waiting to tear her down, Old Madam Ying certainly did not dare to go against the crowd which was this angry.
" They are really too much, poor Ying Nan did not come home last night and yet they slept peacefully all night!"
" All night? I bet if it wasn't Ying Tuanzi's wedding they wouldn't have cared for him even if he was gone missing for a week," a village woman remarked with a scoff.
Everyone in the village knew how Old Master Ying treated Ying Nan and with a mother like Old Madam Ying, it was simply a life of nothing but troubles for Ying Nan. Look at this, he did not come home for an entire night and yet neither Old Madam Ying nor Old Master Ying cared for him.
It was fine for Old Master Ying as he was just a stepfather and Ying Nan did not come out from his womb but Old Madam Ying was his biological mother, how could she not worry about her son?
Old Madam Ying: "..." She did think that they would bring Ying Nan to her without her bothering with him.
" Go up with them, what are you doing?" Though Old Master Ying liked taking advantage of others, he knew when to stop. He glared at his wife and asked her to head up the mountains without causing any further scene. The villagers were already angry with them if this continued then they might not even look for Ying Nan.
And Ying Nan was essential to them!
Old Madam Ying did not want to ruin her comfort but she still sighed and then headed up the mountains because she knew that if Ying Nan was not found then she might never be able you live a peaceful life.
The villagers rushed up to the mountains thinking that they would find Ying Nan very soon. He was a young mer, how deep could he venture into the forest but soon the villagers realized that they were thinking too naively. Even when they looked for Ying Nan for three consecutive hours, they could not find him.
"What's going on? Did he go deep inside the forest?" One of the women asked Da Qiao whose brows were furrowed. What happened yesterday evening was indeed heartbreaking for Ying Nan. He was not allowed to marry Song Yixu but his father continued to leech off Song Yixu like he had every right to do so. With how hurt Ying Nan was last evening.
There was a chance that he might have done something too stupid. Explore more at mvl
Da Qiao pursed her lips as she stated solemnly, " If he went deep in the forest then we can forget about seeing him again. I heard from Miss Yu that the animals are coming down from the forest because of the drought, if Ying Nan went inside the mountains ... then I am afraid that he is dead already."
