When news arrived that Xue Yunshu had been captured by enemies, Duke Xue went into a frenzy.
He paid no mind to his other daughter's wedding, intent on using his connections to rescue Xue Yunshu.
His usual favoritism was one thing, but to just up and leave on such an important day was outrageous.
Mrs. Xue was about to lose her mind as well.
Suppressing the flames of fury rising within her, she grabbed Duke Xue's hand and tried to reason with him in a placating tone.
"Ah Yao will be here any moment to bid us farewell. Just wait a little longer. After we've sent Ah Yao off, you can do whatever you want. I won't stop you!"
Ah Yao was the family's legitimate daughter and was going to the Chen Family to become its matriarch.
If the Duke were to leave now, it wouldn't just be the Xue family's face that was lost, but Ah Yao's dignity as well.
If her own father didn't value her, wouldn't her in-laws take the cue and look down on Ah Yao in their hearts?
