202: arrival

Night fell in Modu, at the Tang Family residence.

The entire Tang Family was filled with joy, adorned with lanterns and colorful decorations, and bustling with esteemed guests.

Every member of the Tang Family was beaming with happiness.

The only one who seemed out of place in this festive atmosphere was Tang Zihan.

After Tang Zihan was brought back by the Tang Family's King-level Beastmaster, she was confined to her room.

At this moment, she was under a Restriction placed by a Family Expert, sealing off the Beast Taming power within her body.

Even her beast taming bracelet had been confiscated, leaving her with no means to resist.

Creak—

The door opened, and a Madam, a smile on her face, entered Tang Zihan's room.

“Zihan, the people from the Li Family are about to arrive, why haven’t you put on your wedding dress yet!”

When she saw the untouched wedding attire beside Tang Zihan, the smile on her face quickly vanished, replaced by a stern reprimand.

However, Tang Zihan remained unmoved by the Madam's scolding, still sitting quietly by the bed, completely ignoring the Madam.

Seeing Tang Zihan's reaction, an inexplicable surge of anger welled up in the Madam's heart, and her expression instantly turned sour.

“Hmph! You good-for-nothing, do you know how much loss your elopement caused our Tang Family a few years ago?”

“All our Family’s business with the Li Family has been cut off for years!”

“The Family’s influence has steadily declined!”

“All of this is your fault!”

“Now the Li Family has said that as long as you marry Li Xian of the Li Family, they will let bygones be bygones and resume business dealings with the Tang Family!”

“This is your only chance to atone for the Tang Family, don’t be ungrateful!”

As she spoke, the agitated Madam even raised her hand, ready to slap Tang Zihan across the face.

However, Tang Zihan did not flinch, glaring back with a look of stubborn defiance.

After years away from home, being captured and brought back, she felt her own Family becoming increasingly unfamiliar.

The entire Tang Family, not a single person spoke up for her, not even her own parents.

The Madam before her was precisely Tang Zihan's birth mother.

But as the Madam looked at Tang Zihan's stubborn face and angry eyes, her raised right hand slowly retracted.

“Hmph, if I wasn’t afraid of ruining your face, I would certainly teach you, this unfilial dead girl, a good lesson today!”

Withdrawing her hand, the Madam let out a cold snort.

Indeed, her retraction was not due to a change of heart, but rather fear of damaging Tang Zihan's face and being disliked by Li Xian.

Li Xian was willing to overlook past grievances and resume business relations with the Tang Family if they would marry Tang Zihan to him again.

All of this stemmed from Li Xian's covetousness towards Tang Zihan.

“Heh, unfilial?”

“In your eyes, I am nothing more than a tool to curry favor and cling to power.”

“You were the ones who were inhumane and unjust first, so what right do you have to call me unfilial!”

Hearing the Madam's words, Tang Zihan sneered, feeling immense sorrow for being born into such a Family.

At this moment, she wished so much that she was just a girl from an ordinary Family.

“Dead girl! You!”

Seeing Tang Zihan dare to talk back, the Madam's face instantly darkened.

But there was nothing she could do; she couldn't lay a hand on Tang Zihan now.

She could only angrily flick her sleeve and turn to leave Tang Zihan's room.

“You two, attend to Young Miss and help her change. If Young Miss hasn’t put on her wedding dress later, both of you, including your families, will die!”

After leaving the room, the Madam's voice rang out again.

Her voice was loud, as if she feared Tang Zihan inside the room wouldn't hear her.

As her voice faded, two trembling maids entered the room, looking at Tang Zihan, who was sitting by the bed, with faces full of dread.

“Yo-Young Miss, please, please change.”

Tang Zihan looked in their direction; she could feel the maids' fear and unease.

Recalling the Madam's reprimand from outside the room, Tang Zihan knew that this was the other party threatening her with the lives of the two maids and their families.

If she truly continued to resist, innocent people would likely lose their lives.

“Mu Qingwan, you are ruthless!”

Taking a deep breath, Tang Zihan gritted her teeth and whispered.

In the end, she still nodded in compromise, but a hint of determination flashed in her eyes.

She had already decided that when she left the Tang Family and was taken to Shangjing by the Li Family, that would be the time of her demise.

Even if she died, she would not yield.

…

About half an hour later, above the Tang Family of Modu, a massive flying beast approached from afar, carrying a group of a dozen people.

On the flying beast, banners fluttered, adorned with festive red ribbons.

The people on the flying beast were all dressed in luxurious clothes.

Beside them were stacks of redwood chests, each affixed with a large red '囍' character, symbolizing joy.

A rich, misty Aura of treasures enveloped these wooden chests.

Clearly, these chests contained treasures of considerable quality.

“The Li Family has arrived—”

When the flying beast in the sky reached the area above the Tang Family, a loud voice, accompanied by a powerful Aura, suddenly erupted.

The Royal Tier pressure permeated the air, causing the Tang Family members and guests below to turn their heads in awe.

“The Li Family has such a grand display! Even the Beast for the wedding procession is a Royal Tier Peak Blood Jade Red Eagle!”

“Haha, who knows what kind of luck the Tang Family stumbled upon. A Second Young Miss who once eloped can still have the Li Family arrange such a grand wedding procession to receive her.”

“Hehe, brother, are you new here? The Tang Family’s Second Young Miss, back then, she was one of Modu’s top beauties, especially her figure, tsk tsk, she captivated countless men back then.”

“Yes, if you ask me, that Li Xian fellow must have been utterly enchanted, which is why he’s willing to overlook the past humiliation and accept her again.”

“If only I could marry into the Li Family.”

“You? Forget it, why don’t you find a mirror and look at yourself!”

“Ah, this time the Tang Family is truly going to rely on the Li Family. Being able to become in-laws with the Shangjing Li Family, the Tang Family’s future path will be wider and wider!”

…

Below, the onlookers watching the spectacle discussed animatedly as the Blood Jade Red Eagle slowly descended towards the main courtyard plaza of the Tang Family mansion.

Meanwhile, within the Tang Family, Tang Ming, the Tang Family Patriarch, led a group of Tang Family high-ranking members to greet the arrivals.

“Hahahahaha, Patriarch Li, we’ve been looking forward to your arrival!”

Tang Ming looked at the middle-aged man leading the procession and quickly bowed respectfully, offering his congratulations.

Beside the middle-aged man stood a pale-faced, effeminate young man in a large red robe, who was the groom, Li Xian.

Hearing Tang Ming's words, the middle-aged man at the front, who was the current Li Family Patriarch, Li Wu, looked at Tang Ming with a calm gaze and said in a low voice:

“From today onwards, we are in-laws; there’s no need to be so formal.”

“Hahahahaha, good, good, good! In-law, worthy son-in-law, quickly, this way please.”

Hearing Li Wu's words, Tang Ming was overjoyed and quickly greeted them with a smile.

At Tang Ming's invitation, the Li Family entourage, carrying their gifts, headed towards the banquet hall.

At the same time.

Su Yuan and Kuang Qing also appeared outside Modu City.

“Young friend Su Yuan, Modu is just ahead.”

Stopping in mid-air, Kuang Qing said to Su Yuan.

“Mm, let’s go, to the Tang Family!”

Su Yuan nodded, looking at the boundless, brightly lit city.

Then he flew directly into Modu City.

Kuang Qing followed closely behind.

“Who dares to trespass into Modu at night!”

As soon as the two approached Modu City, several figures appeared in front of them, blocking their path.
