The Big Mountain Vige was in a flurry. Someone went up the mountain and never came back down, this was not a good thing for the vige or Da Qiao, as they still had to report it to the county magistrate.


    This was a big matter and could not be suppressed, thus the entire vige went up the mountains early in the morning and then returnedte in the evening, however even three dayster there was no sign of Ying Nan.


    Most of the vigers believed that he was dead, killed and eaten by a wild animal.


    Da Qiao and the vigers were worried while Old Master Ying yelled and cursed at Ying Nan every day, he scolded him for being useless and a shameless mer who left home for so many days. His curses became so annoying that Da Qiao who was gentle and kind with a huge patience also snapped and scolded him on the spot in front of the vige.


    This stopped Old Master Ying from saying anything publicly but everyone in the vige could hear him shout at Old Madam Ying for giving birth to a fox spirit who couldn''t settle down.


    This matter was something that was happening inside the house and thus neither Da Qiao nor anyone in the vige could say anything but they were annoyed with Old Master Ying to the point that they wanted to chase him out of the vige.


    It was only when the head of the Ying family headed to Old Madam Ying''s house and scolded Old Master Ying to the point where he could not raise his head did everything stopped.


    " Your child is missing and instead of looking for him, you are allowing this mer to cause trouble every day! Is it not embarrassing enough that you could not take care of your son, that you have to cause trouble like this? Do you even know that the entire Ying family is embarrassed because of you? If not for the fact that you were my own blood and flesh, I would have chased you out of the vige!


    One more word against that poor child and see what I do to you!"


    The Head of the Ying family scolded for an entire day before Old Master Ying stopped yammering and screaming. But whoever met with him could hear the old mer calling the head of the Ying family nosy and annoying. He alsoined that the head was poking his nose in their business when he already had enough trouble in his hand.


    Ying Shao was a simple mer who took charge of the entire family after the death of his wife. If he were to raise his hand and swear that he had never treated his family badly, no one in the vige would dare to say anything against him.


    Whether it was his daughter or the daughter of his wife''s concubine. He had treated them the same way, even Old Madam Ying got a fair share ofnd when her mother died even though she was not the legitimate daughter. Thus when Ying Shao heard Old Master Ying call him nosy and restless, he was really annoyed and angry.


    He was so angry that he ended up falling sick for three days.


    Seeing this his daughter Ying Jin could not help but say, " Daddy, I know that you are upset because Nan Nan went missing but Old Master Ying is not someone who is going to listen to you silently. Leave them to their fates, sooner orter that old mer will suffer greatly."


    Ying Shao agreed with his daughter, though he felt pity for Ying Nan, he could only leave his life in the hands of the heavens. After all, he was not the biological grandfather of Ying Nan and there was little to nothing that he could do.


    Even when he tried to help Ying Nan in the Old Master Ying would beat Ying Nan even more.


    " You are right, let''s leave them to their fate. We were two families to begin with anyway," sighed Ying Shao.


    While the Big Mountain Vige was in a state of turmoil, the mammy who was in charge of rying the information to Yu Dong returned to the vige and told her everything that was going on including Ying Nan.


    " Damn that mer is heartless," Chen Mi cursed after hearing what kind of things Old Master Ying said about Ying Nan. If such things were heard by someone then they would think that Ying Nan was a crazy mer who troubled his stepfather every day. It was not a good thing!

    Ying Nan smiled wretchedly, this was something that he was used to. His stepfather was like a mer who was restless and selfish, in his heart he was the one who was in the right while everyone else was simply looking for trouble.


    " You don''t need to think too much," seeing that Ying Nan was feeling upset, Shen Li smiled at him and patted the back of his hand while sitting on the couch. His mother was the same kind of person and thus, he knew what kind of person this Old Master Ying was and what kind of suffering Ying Nan might have gone through. " Sooner orter it will be better."


    Ying Nan also hoped that his life would be better. He really could not withstand his family anymore, the entire vige even the distant grandfather who was not rted to him biologically was standing up for him and yet his own mother was silent. It would be a lie if he said that it did not hurt him.


    In fact, it cooled his heart to the point where he did not even want to look at his mother. How many benefits did she take from Song Yixu in his name? Yet when he was in trouble she was actually acting like she was an onlooker.


    " If it was me, I would have beaten them up," Ye Liu scoffed coldly. " There is no point in thinking that sooner orter it will get better. It''s best to let your fists talk and think of consequencester."
