Chapter 167 - 107: Find Him
The two exchanged formalities, yielding to each other as they left Yingmei Temple and each boarded their carriages.
As soon as Xiao Song seated himself in the carriage, he retracted his warm smile and spoke, "Bai Yi."
At that moment, his whole being exuded the aura of someone superior, giving off a suffocatingly oppressive feeling.
Bai Yi, a robust man, could only kneel restrained by the carriage door after climbing aboard, respectfully addressing him, "My lord."
"I asked you to stop the person the old lady sent to the Ran residence to propose marriage; did you stop them?" Xiao Song’s brows involuntarily knitted together as he heard that the old lady and Shu Niang were scheming to propose marriage to the Suzhou Ran residence. Although he didn’t feel averse to the idea, how could he marry another and send her to her demise without first understanding the reason behind his notorious "husband who brings bad luck to his wives"? After all, Ran Yan was different from Lady Du and Lady Lu...

Xiao Song’s frown deepened even more, "Go and find out who has proposed to the Ran residence." He believed that Liu Pinrang wouldn’t make baseless comments.

It was the legitimate son of the sixth household of the Cui family who proposed," Bai Yi, unable to fathom what his master was really thinking, pondered. Clearly displeased with this marriage alliance, why then did he care about to whom the lady was married?
