Hearing her constantly invoke His Majesty, Wanyun just shrugged. "Suit yourself. Uncle Ming, I'll be taking my leave. The Ming family's wedding is in three days. Don't forget to pay me my matchmaker's fee."
Ming Wei tried to leave to go find Lu Jingxing and complain, but Uncle Ming had his men stop her.
Uncle Ming stepped forward and slapped Ming Wei hard across the face. "That's enough out of you!"
With tears welling in her eyes, Ming Wei cried, "Father, how could you hit me for an outsider? What good does it do the Ming family for one of its daughters to marry a beggar?"
Uncle Ming was livid. "You brought this all on yourself! Tell me, what were you thinking, meddling in the marriage between the Rong and Shi Families? If all those teahouses get shut down, how am I supposed to answer to Old Prime Minister Bai?"
Uncle Ming truly despised his ignorant daughter.
