Unexpectedly, before the marriage was officially put on the agenda, the family suddenly heard that the young lady had some unclear relationship with her cousin.
Yun Wenfang, having heard of this from nowhere, immediately lost his temper. His grandmother and mother both felt a sense of guilt towards him because of this incident. Old Madam Yun, facing her grandson's gloomy expression, eventually reassured him that she would give him some autonomy in choosing his marriage. However, for a short while, no one in the Yun family dared to mention the second young master's marriage.
Yun Wenfang had planned this carefully, and he had already laid the groundwork, so all that was left was to take slow action.
The Yun and Ren families were somewhat related. However, this established family inherently looked down upon the unruly upstarts like the Ren family. Therefore, no matter how much the Ren family wanted a marriage with the Yun family, the Ren family elders ignored them when choosing a wife for the second young master. The Yun family didn't make a big announcement, so the Ren family didn't get the news.
So Ren Yaoqi didn't understand Yun Wenfang's sudden and strange attitude. But she didn't take it too seriously. She understood the customs of ancient families more thoroughly than anyone else in the Ren family. She didn't think the Ren family could marry into the Yun family; it was all just wishful thinking on the part of the old man and old lady.
After returning to the Ren family villa, everyone was exhausted from the shock, so they went back to the courtyard to rest.
It was almost evening when the men of the Ren family returned, bringing surprising news. The dragon heads of the several dragon boats destroyed in the explosion had been salvaged and were to be repaired by craftsmen. However, on their way into the city, a group of onlookers inexplicably stopped them to watch. They had heard that during the dragon boat race, one of the boats suddenly came to life and transformed into a dragon, only to be struck dead by lightning during its ascent. So, they were there to see the dead dragon.
When everyone dispersed the crowd with a mixture of laughter and tears, the car carrying the dragon head was empty.
The truck carrying the dragon head was not guarded by many people because no one expected someone to steal it. But it was lost anyway.
The crowd became even more excited and believed even more that it was a living dragon. Some people even swore that they had noticed a flash of golden light on the car before, and it must be the dragon ascending to heaven.
This kind of thing that sounds unreliable is very popular among the people who have nothing better to do. Now the whole Yunyang City is bustling with activity.
The masters and ladies who witnessed the entire incident naturally disdained such rumors, but they also speculated about the sudden disappearance of the dragon head. Some speculated whether it was related to the sudden explosion of the dragon boat today. Some speculated that a family's dragon head contained a treasure left by their ancestors, which had attracted envy, leading to such a scene today. Some even said that the Lei family's dragon head contained a treasure map left behind by their ancestors when they migrated south to Yanbei.
The Ren family was also in a commotion because of this strange incident. However, Ren Yaohua did not express any opinion when he heard about it. He just looked at Ren Yaoqi thoughtfully.
