Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 25 The Overbearing CEO
Aunt Deng's voice was sharp, fierce and resentful, and her face was ferocious and terrifying.

It was really hard to believe that the person who cursed so hatefully and encouraged her husband to beat her was actually her own daughter.

Dan Niang's uncle stepped forward and played the good cop, laughing and saying, "Sister, brother-in-law, we are all family, why do you have to be like this? Calm down, calm down."

My uncle turned to Dan Niang and said with a kind smile, "Dan Niang, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but this is what you did wrong.

How could you make decisions on such a big matter as getting married without telling your parents?

Besides, you got such a huge family fortune for nothing, can you keep it?
Your mother asked you to transfer the restaurant to your brother's name, isn't it because she thought that with your brother as the head of the family, you would have someone to rely on?"

Dan Niang's younger brother was named Fan Dong. He was seventeen years old and very tall.

Hearing what his uncle said, Fan Dong hurriedly said, "Yes, sister, we are siblings from the same mother. Is there anyone in the world who is closer than us?
I want to be the boss of this "Shuiyunjian" because I'm afraid you'll be bullied. This family won't work without a man to support it. If I don't help you, who else can help you?"

Even Dan Niang was so angry that she laughed.

Dan Niang knows too well what kind of people her family is!

This restaurant is where she will settle down in the future.

If she was asked to contribute to the family from time to time in exchange for a peaceful life, she would endure it.

But she knew clearly that once the restaurant was taken away from her, her parents would kidnap her and take her back to the home of the old man who bought her as a concubine.

The old man paid 150 strings of cash to buy a concubine, and the money has already been given to her father, so he can't expect to get a penny back.

Thinking of this, Dan Niang gritted her teeth and shook her head: “Uncle, little brother, you don’t have to coax me.

This restaurant was left to me by my boss. It is where I will live for the rest of my life. Dan Niang will never transfer it to anyone else."

Aunt Deng was furious. She grabbed Dan Niang's hair and slapped her in the face: "Others? Tell me clearly, who are others? Hum?
You are such a heartless loser! I carried you for ten months and gave birth to you with great difficulty, just for you to repay me like this? Today, I will beat you to death, you loser..."

Every time Aunt Deng asked a question, she would slap him in the face.

Dan Niang's hair was messed up, her cheeks were red and swollen, and her hair was disheveled, but she could only grit her teeth and shed tears.

Although such a mother is unbearable, she is her biological mother. How can she resist?

"Dangdang!"

The door, which was ajar, was kicked open by someone.

Yang Yuan was dressed in the uniform of an imperial guard officer, with a sword hanging from his waist, and he rushed in at the speed of an arrow.

He grabbed the wicked woman's wrist with such force that Aunt Deng felt a sharp pain in her wrist, almost breaking it, and she could not help but cry out.

Yang Yuan waved his arms in disgust and threw her out.

Aunt Deng was unsteady on her feet and stumbled against the wall before falling down.

Yang Yuan held the hilt of the knife and glanced at them coldly: "What a bunch of unhuman men and women! Today really opened my eyes!"

Yang Yuan had actually been upstairs for some time.

Seeing that the door of his master's room was ajar, he wanted to stand outside the door and listen carefully to find out what was going on.

However, he underestimated this pair of unscrupulous parents.

Dan Niang's mother suddenly attacked, and Yang Yuan had no time to intervene. By the time he kicked open the door and threw away the fierce old woman, Dan Niang had already been beaten.

Yang Yuan glanced at Dan Niang. Yes, it was the wine girl he had met once.

But at this moment, her hair was disheveled, her eyes were blurry, her fair cheeks were red, and a strand of her hair was wet by tears and fell on her cheek, making her look so pitiful.

Old Man Fan was startled by the sudden intruder. When he saw that he was dressed in the robes of a government official, he became even more frightened. Old Man Fan could only pretend to be calm and said, "Sir, why did you break into my house and beat up my wife?"

Yang Yuan gave him a sidelong look and sneered, "Your family? When did this Fang family restaurant belong to your family?

You broke into Fang's Restaurant, beat up the hostess of Fang's Restaurant, and asked me why I beat you?

Qiantang County is not far from here. Do you want me to send you all there to be beaten with a stick?"

Dan Niang's brother had just helped Aunt Deng up when he heard what Yang Yuan said. He stiffened his neck and shouted, "You are so unreasonable, sir!
What is Fang’s Restaurant? My sister is the owner of this restaurant now. This restaurant is the property of our Fan family!
Besides, my mother is disciplining her own daughter, so it is not your turn as an outsider to intervene."

Dan Niang's uncle quickly added: "That's right, this... this honest official... is still busy with his family affairs!"

Yang Yuan raised the sword at his waist, and Dan Niang's brother quickly hid behind Aunt Deng.

Dan Niang's uncle plucked up his courage and said, "You...what are you going to do, sir? This is under the feet of the emperor!"

Yang Yuan said mockingly: "Your family's property? A married girl is someone else's.

Even if you come to visit, you are still guests. Why, do you want to become the host now?"

Dan Niang's uncle used to be a peddler, going from street to street, and had more experience than the others.

The second uncle calmed himself down, plucked up his courage, and asked, "May I ask what your name is, sir?"

Yang Yuan pressed the hilt of the knife and said calmly, "I am Yang Yuan, the marriage officer of the Imperial City Department of the Great Song Dynasty!"

My well-informed second uncle... has never heard of this official position!

He was familiar with the village head, security chief, household head, and village clerk.

He had also heard of officials such as county magistrate, chief clerk, and county lieutenant.

He had never heard of the Imperial City Division, and had no idea what a marriage official was.

However, the name of the yamen reported by Yang Yuan contained the word "Imperial City", and he knew about the Imperial City.

He should be an official more powerful than the county magistrate, right?

Uncle Dan Niang was a little timid, so he smiled and said, "Master Yang, no matter how you look at it, this is our family's private matter. Master, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to intervene."

"Private matters? I can't take care of private matters, right?"

"That's natural."

"Hehe, but what if Dan Niang's private affairs are my private affairs?"

Yang Yuan suddenly stretched out his hand, grasped Dan Niang's slender waist, pulled her into his arms, and looked at Dan Niang's second uncle: "Can I do anything about it?"

When Dan Niang's parents and her second uncle and eldest uncle heard this, they all looked shocked.

They looked at Yang Yuan, then at Dan Niang who was in his arms, and suddenly they understood something.

Dan Niang opened her eyes wide in surprise and looked at Yang Yuan in bewilderment. This Mr. Yang... I don't know him!

“This…, you guys…”

Old Man Fan pointed at Yang Yuan and then at Dan Niang, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Old man Fan really didn't know his daughter was so capable. She was sold as a concubine in Fuchun County, married as a wife on the bank of West Lake, and now she has found a high-ranking official as her lover...

This is a bit tricky!
