Although this scene would be played out every once in a while, specifically whenever there was news of a marriage among the five major families, Lan Yan would hold an emergency meeting and this scene would be played out, but everyone was still terrified, fearing that the old patriarch would die in excitement.
"Dad, Xiaoying and I have discussed about adopting her sister's daughter. Wouldn't our Lan family have a daughter this way?" The eldest brother Lan Jia suggested cautiously.
"You're so stupid!" Lan Yan spitted all over Lan Jia's face and said angrily, "Does the adopted daughter have the blood of our Lan family? Does she have strong spiritual power? Does she have a pair of purple eyes? Can the legitimate sons of the other four major families be interested in her mother?"
Lan Jia was left speechless by what Lan Yan said. He shrank his neck and dared not say another word.
"I heard that the eldest daughter of the Zhu family wants to find a son-in-law. Why not find a suitable child to marry into the Zhu family? It doesn't have to be a girl for a marriage!" Lan Yi asked tentatively.
"Let your son go?" Lan Yan asked even more angrily, "Then why did the eldest daughter of the Zhu family want to find a son-in-law? Others outside don't know, but we don't? He's a fool! Our descendants of the Lan family haven't fallen so far as to marry into the family, let alone marry a fool. We can't afford to lose face!"
Lan Yi was choked and speechless again.
Just as everyone was racking their brains, wondering how to suppress the old patriarch's anger, Lan Yanfeng, the eldest grandson of the Lan family, hurried in and gasped, "Got it, got it!"
Lan Jia was nearly driven crazy by his son. He knew the patriarch was holding an emergency meeting, yet he was nowhere to be seen. Why was he showing up now? He might as well not have shown up at all. If he didn't show up, the patriarch wouldn't have remembered him. Now, it looked like they would be the ones kneeling in the ancestral hall as punishment.
"Yan Feng, what did you do? Why don't you apologize to your grandfather?" Lan Jia winked at his son desperately.
Lan Yanfeng didn't even glance at his father, and rushed to the old patriarch, saying excitedly: "Yes, the Lan family has a daughter!"
Everyone looked at Lan Yanfeng in astonishment. Where did the Lan family get a daughter? How could the Lan family have a daughter?
"Yan Feng, stop making trouble. Your father's suggestion has been rejected by your grandfather!" Uncle Lan Bing, who thinks the fastest, reminded him.
"What suggestions?" Lan Yanfeng looked at his father in confusion, only to see his father's face turning pale and blue, and he looked very embarrassed.
However, he didn't have the heart to consider his father's feelings at this moment, and hurriedly said, "Hey! Listen to me, I just received news that a girl with purple eyes and the surname Lan has come to Lanxuan City!"
"Purple pupils? The Lan family's purple pupils?" Lan Yan was the first to react. Tears welled up in his eyes as he fiercely grabbed Lan Yanfeng's hand and said excitedly, "Good boy, you finally did something good! You're capable!"
Huh? Lan Yanfeng was confused. Shouldn't he be asking about the purple-eyed girl now? Why was he praising him (°д°)?
"He is indeed the eldest son and grandson. He is very capable. He quietly left a child outside and gave birth to a girl?" Lan Yi hurriedly stepped forward to agree.
He sincerely hoped that his father would be happy and forget about his bad advice. He definitely wouldn't hold him accountable later!
Lan Yanfeng was petrified instantly. What was going on?
"You misunderstood! It's not my child!" Lan Yanfeng shouted as if he was about to cry.
