A messager wearing the Tang family crest has arrived at the Chen Household to relay a message to Fangsu, "The Second Young Miss, Tang Fangsu has been requested to return to the Tang family." The messenger patiently waited for the girl to respond but nothing came out of the young girl.
Fangsu blankly stared at the letter and handed the letter back to the messenger, "You can return this letter back to the Tang family," Fangsu sighed tiredly as she rubbed the back of her neck, "I have no desire to go to respond or return to the Tang family," Fangsu gesture the employees to escort the messenger out. The messenger was dumbfounded by the nonchalantly of the young girl who would request such a highly esteemed noble family. Honestly the messenger was afraid to return back to the Tang manor empty handed after the head of the clan insisting that the young miss to return to the Tang Family.
When the messenger returned back to the Tang Manor without the Second Young, "Master, the Young Miss has refused to return back to the Tang family." The messenger sighed, remembering the young girl's nonchalance towards the Tang, meaning that the girl didn't care about the immense power that the Tang family holds over the capital.
The Head pinches his chin thinking of a way to make Fangsu return back to the Tang family, "Send the Chen family a few bolts of premium Cloud Silks, gold accessories and high grade jade bracelets." A few servants obeyed his order as they received the key to the family treasury to retrieve all the requested items.
The steward bowed, "Master is it wise to send such elaborate gifts to the young girl?" The steward was worried that the gifting of such a large expense would enrage the old Madam who was known to be stingy. But the Head dismisses the steward away and continues to send the gifts to the Chen family in hopes to retrieve his daughter back. Sighing at the Head's actions, the steward could only wipe the upcoming scolding from the Old Madam once he reported this. Dejectedly, the steward walked to one of the luxurious wings on the manor to see the Old Madam eating a grape that was peeled by one the handsome servant.
Even though the Old Madam was well into her 80's, her skin and figure was that of a 50 year old due to the spending of cosmetics, consuming pills for retaining beauty and skincare from the new opened business, Blossoming Fragrance, "Madam, the Head has been using the family expenses to send elaborate gifts to the Chen family in order to win over the Young Miss." The steward coughed in order to gain the attention of the Old Madam who was busy fawning over her boy servants.
As soon as those words came out the old woman furrowed her eyebrow in anger, "Young Miss?" The old woman was confused about the mentioning of a young miss, but the faces of the hateful Heng Hui and those devils spawn child of hers, "What Young Miss? We only have the future young master growing in Su Hui's stomach." Clicking her tongue, the thought only made her mood turn bad as she dismissed the thought of those insufferable women.
The steward gulped nervous, as he was quite unsure whether to diverge the information, "It's the Second Young Miss, Tang Fangsu." The steward nevertheless told the Old Madam who was the recipient of the gifts.
The Old Madam's eye widen, shocked, "She should died!" A variety of emotions flashed through the old woman's eyes, shock, anger, and enough cruelty that would ooze out from her aura. The Old Madam quickly dismissed everyone from the room to allow some privacy, but the thought of one of those devil spawns still alive caused the old woman to bite her nail. Grabbing a brush and making some ink, the old woman wrote on the pristine white paper which showed how high the quality of the paper was. After the ink was dried, the old woman folded the paper into and released a golden flame from her fingertips, burning the paper.
The Golden Flame is only able to be utilised if the individual had an affinity with the element of fire and was in Fifth Level of Core Formation. The golden flame was used to send messages to people that the old woman knows. Watching the last remnants of the paper being burned and embers flying off into the distance, the old woman angrily stared into the distance.
