"Who do you belong to? You’ve got so nerve, blocking the way of this Young Master’s people?" Eldest Young Master Zhang beca angry upon seeing Yang Chuxia grabbing Shen Qiu’s arm and not letting them leave.
"We are people from the Yang Family of Yangshu Village!" Yang Qingtong said with indifference.
Normally, the Yang Family had gained so fa in Wangquan Town in recent years, and not many were unaware of them. However, Eldest Young Master Zhang was such an arrogant person that he didn’t pay much attention to ordinary families, let alone the Yang Family who lived in the village.
Even if others ntioned them, he never took it to heart. Thus, even when Yang Qingtong ntioned the Yang Family, he found the na vaguely familiar but couldn’t recall which family it was in that mont. He certainly didn’t rember that this Yang Family was the one his family’s Old Master had repeatedly warned him not to offend.
"What Yang Family? I’ve never heard of it. Does our town even have such a family?" Eldest Young Master Zhang laughed mockingly and continued, "I don’t care who you are, step aside this instant. You must have eaten the gall of a bear and the heart of a leopard. Block my path again, and I will break your dog legs."
"Young Master Zhang, we are only here to retrieve sothing from this young lady, which doesn’t concern you. I suggest you avoid stirring up trouble that may burn you. Otherwise, it’s uncertain who will end up with their dog legs broken." Although Yang Qingtong was a scholar, influenced by Yang Chuxia since childhood, he naturally wasn’t timid, so he shot back at Young Master Zhang’s threat.
"You!" Eldest Young Master Zhang, accustod to being arrogant, had never been talked back to like this before, so one can imagine how he felt.
"Shen Qiu, hand it over!" Seeing this, Yang Chuxia pulled on Shen Qiu, "Otherwise, don’t bla for searching you in front of everyone."
At that mont, there were quite a few people dining in the restaurant. Hearing this, they clapped their hands and cheered, "Search her! Search her! Search her!"
"I told you, I don’t have any so-called token." Shen Qiu impatiently struggled to break free from Yang Chuxia, while saying, "You insist I took so token, so tell , what exactly did I take? If you can’t say, then it’s slander. You think just because I’m a girl, I’m easy to bully, right?"
Truth be told, Yang Chuxia really didn’t know what Shen Qiu had taken from Yang Dayong, so she looked towards Yang Qingtong.
But even Yang Qingtong didn’t know. He had only heard Land Officer Yang say that after the two families had privately settled on the marriage agreent to prevent either party from backing out, they exchanged betrothal tokens, but he hadn’t heard whether it was a jade pendant or a hairpin.
Seeing this, Shen Qiu felt triumphant. She knew that this brother and sister were unlikely to know what the token was.
"Hmph, you say I took your token, but you don’t even know what I took. Isn’t that funny?" Saying so, she forcefully freed her arm from Yang Chuxia’s grip, rubbing her wrist, "Nothing to say now, right? Can I go now? To think we used to be neighbors, I didn’t expect you to be so unreasonable."
"Sis, Granduncle said she took the token," Yang Qingtong added.
At this, Yang Chuxia snorted coldly, "Want to leave? You think you can just leave without surrendering the item? It’s not that simple! Qingtong, go and bring back Uncle Dayong, and ask him what token he exchanged with Shen Qiu."
"No need!" Just as Yang Chuxia finished speaking, Yang Dayong returned, holding a purse in one hand, "Shen Qiu, this purse you gave , I am returning it to you now. Please also return my hairpin."
Shen Qiu never expected Yang Dayong to co back, and her face instantly turned the color of a pig’s liver.
