Upon hearing this, Xia Yunliang had no choice but to go out and take a look.
As soon as everyone arrived at the gate, they saw two sedan chairs, which they could barely recognize as wedding sedan chairs.
It was clear that Tang Shaorong was being very perfunctory, deliberately trying to annoy the Xia family. Apart from having a big red flower on them, the two sedan chairs were no different from ordinary sedan chairs. If it weren't for the gongs and drums playing, no one would guess that this was a wedding celebration.
When they came out, they saw Xia Kai, the head of the Xia family, talking to Tang Shaorong.
A large crowd had already gathered at the entrance to watch the spectacle.
Xia Kai said to Tang Shaorong, "Young Master Tang, you just proposed to my Xia family yesterday, and you're here to pick up the bride today. Doesn't that seem against etiquette? Aren't you afraid people will laugh at you?"
Tang Shaorong said with a grin, "We are not ordinary people, why bother with these formalities?"
"Then you should at least give some betrothal gifts or something. How can you get married like this?"
Even bystanders couldn't help but gossip about this behavior.
"This doesn't seem like they're here to get married; it looks more like they're here to cause trouble."
"Yeah, I think so too. What kind of marriage is it where the bride price isn't given beforehand, and they're in such a rush?"
"When did the Xia family offend the Tang family? I had no idea."
"You're not from Xilan City, are you? The feud between the Xia family and the Tang family has been going on for quite some time, but I didn't expect it to resurface now."
"Oh, then tell me quickly."
“That will require…” the man began to speak.
"No wonder, it seems they're deliberately trying to embarrass the Xia family. But Tang Shaorong is too much..."
He was interrupted before he could finish speaking.
"Shh, are you out of your mind? How dare you criticize Young Master Tang?"
The man shrank back, looking at Tang Shaorong with great fear.
On the other side.
Tang Shaorong heard their discussion but didn't say anything. He just gave the person who was commenting on him a cold glance, which made that person break out in a cold sweat.
Then, very calmly, he said, "Patriarch Xia, don't be in a hurry. The betrothal gifts will be presented soon. Hurry up and present the betrothal gifts."
The following words were spoken to his servants.
Following his instructions, the servant slowly took out about ten spirit stones from his pocket, without wrapping them in anything, and handed them directly to Xia Kai.
Xia Kai looked at the servant with a grim expression and said coldly, "What does Young Master Tang mean by this?"
Tang Shaorong said calmly, "The betrothal gifts? Didn't you just ask me for them? Is Patriarch Xia dissatisfied with the betrothal gifts from my Tang family?"
Xia Kai was speechless. You call this a betrothal gift? Do you think this is like going to a brothel to find a girl? Giving spirit stones directly, and such a small amount at that.
Xia Kai simply looked at him in silence.
Tang Shaorong was not in a hurry, remaining calm and composed as if he had him cornered.
When Xia Yunliang arrived and saw this scene, he could no longer contain himself. What did they take his granddaughter for? They were showing her no respect at all.
They come to pick up the bride in the evening, and then just give her a few spirit stones to get rid of her? What kind of wedding is this? It's like going to a brothel to find a girl to spend the night with and then using spirit stones to get rid of the madam.
Xia Yunliang angrily said to Tang Shaorong, "You can leave now. I don't agree to your marriage."
Tang Shaorong's smile vanished, replaced by a sinister twist as he stared at Xia Yunliang and said in a chilling voice, enunciating each word clearly:
"Old man, you better know what you're talking about, or you'll regret it later and come looking for me. Then I won't be so easy to talk to you."
Xia Yunliang was so angry that he didn't think things through, but now that Tang Shaorong reminded him, he couldn't be so tough anymore.
She could only glare angrily at Tang Shaorong, but dared not say anything excessive.
The servants of the Tang family fawned over them.
“Mr. Xia, this is Miss Shihan’s good fortune. It’s rare that my young master Tang is so fond of her. Others would beg for such a thing.”
Some members of the Xia family also began to echo this sentiment.
"That's right, it's a blessing for our Xia family that Young Master Tang values us. Why are you still unwilling?"
The important figures remained silent, while a group of people with their own agendas started chattering amongst themselves.
By the way, is there any discussion among onlookers?
Just as the atmosphere was tense and Xia family head Xia Kai and Xia Yunliang were at a loss for what to do, a detached voice broke the deadlock.
"You're Tang Shaorong?"
It was Qin Feng's voice. Of course he knew Tang Shaorong, but he asked that question on purpose.
The Tang family servants got excited and started scolding Qin Feng.
"Who do you think you are, daring to speak to our Young Master Tang like that? Are you out of your mind?"
The Xia family members quickly distanced themselves from the situation.
"This is Xia Yaqin's son. She has already left the Xia family. What her son said has nothing to do with us. We hope that Young Master Tang will not implicate us."
Upon hearing this, everyone showed expressions of pity towards Qin Feng.
"Tch, your mother has been kicked out of the house, what are you so smug about?"
Xia Yunliang was extremely nervous. He never expected that his grandson would go directly to Tang Shaorong. This was no small matter.
"Xiao Feng, what are you doing? Come back right now! He's not someone you can mess with."
Qin Feng's cousin, Xia Shihhan, was also the protagonist of this wedding. She looked at Qin Feng with blinking eyes. She was a little moved. Apart from her family, this was the first time that someone had spoken up for her.
Seeing that Qin Feng remained unmoved and stood still, he said to his daughter and son-in-law, "Yaqin, Qin Yi, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and pull Xiaofeng back! It's driving me crazy!"
"Father, let Xiaofeng handle it."
"Yes, let's just trust him."
"No, how can you two expect anything from a child with no cultivation? I really don't know what to say to you."
