Rong Yan opened the door, and in that instant, all eyes in the courtyard were focused on her.
Rong Zhimin saw his niece and immediately said, "Yan, you've come out at just the right time. These are the people from the Zheng Family here to take you. You don't need to pack anything; just go with them."
The Zheng Family was a prominent household in town. Old Master Zheng, who was fifty-five this year, had been utterly captivated by Miss Rong after seeing her in town a month ago and had kept her in his mind since then.
After finding out whose daughter she was, he had sent someone to propose that she become his concubine, but her father had thrown the messenger out.
Later, they sent people two more times.
Each time, her father had sent them away.
This time, having learned of the death of both her parents, they quickly got in touch with Miss Rong's uncle.
Rong Yan had reason to suspect that her father's death was related to Old Master Zheng from town.
