Mr. Fu wore a stern expression, clearly incensed, as it was hard to say Xiao Fengxing and his people weren't doing this on purpose to bring bad luck today.
"Thank goodness the engagement was called off," Mr. Fu said. "If Mingzhu really married a scoundrel like Xiao Fengxing, who knows how much scheming and torment she would have endured."
"I need to hurry back to the banquet," Mr. Fu said. "Otherwise, with both of us absent, it might raise suspicion."
"I absolutely cannot get away from here, so I'll rely on you at the front," Madam Fu said.
"Nonsense, your help is needed here too," Mr. Fu replied.
After Mr. Fu left, some time later, Zhao Chang came back with Chang Tai in tow.
The returning Chang Tai had no visible injuries, yet he couldn't even walk and was being dragged along the ground by Zhao Chang.
Chang Tai's eyes had lost their luster, and his face looked ashen.
