âI donât know if the people in the palace have notified you yet but I will say it again. After this, I will be taking Dragony with me. If the members of the Dragon Clan wishes to see her again, I will have my people escort her back for a visit.â Turning her lips into a sneering grin of contempt, Bai Yan gazes down at the dragon chief with clear disdain in those eyes: âJust that if I find another scar on Dragonyâs body after the visits, I will have the soldiers rain down at your doorsteps as a consequence!â
Long Chang Tian honestly didnât expect such an open threat. Popping those eyes in shock, the man looks up with incredulous disbelief.
âI donât agree!â Zhang Ruqi abruptly jerks up from the ground in protest, âDragony is my daughter, I donât want her to leave me.â
I can never allow this little fool the chance to surpass Xiaoya!
âRuyi!â The dragon chief roars out at his wife in fright, âGet down on your knees this instant!â
If it was in the past, Zhang Ruyi would absolutely listen to her husband; however, her headâs been completely muddled by the matter surrounding Dragony this time. âQueen, you would not really take my daughter away from me and separate us, right?â
Giving a damp look at this so-called mother, Bai Yan then shifts her attention back to the little missy instead: âDragony, tell me, how does your mother usually treat you?â
âUmm,â making an innocent look like that of someone oblivious to the situation, the young girl did as told. âMy mother dislikes it when I call her Mother, thatâs why I can only call her Madam at home. They would also often yell and hit me, calling me Little Fool. One time I stole Second Sisterâs pastry to eat because I really, really wanted to have a taste, thatâs when she used hot water to burn meâ¦â
Whenever Dragony brought up all the cases from her past, the voices of the guests would diminish by another level until only the crisp sound of the young lady could be heard.
Of course, Zhang Ruyi would be livid at having her misdeeds pointed out in open public, hence the blue and white color on that face. How dare she embarrass me in the public? Did she forget who gave birth to her?â
As for the rest of the audience, many were now showing disdain with a much larger portion making angry glares at the dragon chief and his wife. They knew Dragony was a mentally challenged girl inside, but that doesnât excuse the poor treatment these parents are giving her. No one likes to hear such sad stories, especially during auspicious events like the queenâs coronation.
âDragon Chief,â finally someone couldnât hold back and spoke up. âIs this lady really your daughterâs mother, or is she a new wife you took in?â
âI say, this is the first time Iâve seen a mother treat their own flesh and blood like so. This really opens up my eyes today.â
The ridiculing voices of his peers had left the dragon chief utterly embarrassed with nowhere to hide his face. âRuyi, if you keep making trouble here then I will divorce you once we go back!â Long Chang Tian fires off a stare of death at his wife.
Though unwilling, the dragon wife was now left in a pinch and knew better than to resist. For that reason, Bai Yan saw it as an opening to continue. âTell me, would you like to go with them Dragony?â
âNo! I donât want to!â The young missy heavily grasped onto her saviorâs arm, refusing to let go. âQueen, I like you, please let me stay with you and not them!â
Who said Dragony was stupid?
She understands enough to know whoâs the best for herself. As for the Dragon Clan that gave birth to her, thereâs only torture awaiting there if she returns.
âOkay,â smiling gently, Bai Yan slowly caresses the girlâs hair to sooth that anxiety. âYou donât need to go anywhere. From now on you can stay with me and Xiachen.â
