As soon as the two boarded the carriage, Chu Lian had a bellyful of questions to ask.
He took Wang Xiangxiang's hand and started, "My dear, how come I wasn't aware that Yang Ming had a sister?"
"This story is a long one, want to hear it?"
"Yes." Chu Lian nodded his head. How could he be completely unaware of his father-in-law's family affairs?
"It starts with Yang Ming's grandfather. When he was alive, he believed the words of a Jianghu fortune-teller who claimed that for the Yang family to prosper, all granddaughters must be sent away. Yang Ming's grandfather believed it, and thus all born granddaughters of the Yang family were sent away — nicely put as sent away, but in truth, they were sold."
"..." Chu Lian was extremely shocked after hearing this. Although human trafficking was common, such an ignorant practice was something he had never heard of before.
