"Mother, why are you here?" Upon seeing this, the city lord quickly stood up and walked towards her, then came to the maid and supported her instead of her.

"I heard that the banquet here was very lively, so I came to take a look. The City Lord's Mansion hasn't been so lively for a long time." The old lady let the City Lord support her as she walked to the high seat.

"It's really lively. Something good happened today." The city lord smiled when he heard that.

"I should have come just now, but I was having such a great time chatting with Miss Ying that I forgot the time." After the old lady said this, she looked in Liao Ying's direction with a loving face.

"It is Ying'er's blessing to be loved so much by the old lady." Upon hearing this, Liao Ying quickly stood up and bowed.

After all, the old lady of the City Lord's Mansion is the biggest supporter she can find for herself.

"Are you preparing to tame the beast?" The old lady in the City Lord's Mansion looked at the City Lord with surprise when she saw the magical beast in the cage.

"Mother, this is Miss Nangong. This time, our Xiaosha City can escape danger entirely thanks to her." The city lord did not directly answer the old lady's question, but pointed to Nangong Xi and introduced her.

"I didn't expect Miss Nangong to have such strength at such a young age." Upon hearing this, the old lady looked at Nangong Xi and sighed.

"Thank you for the compliment, old lady." Nangong Xi replied.

She found that the old lady's eyes were full of calculation when she looked at her, which made her very unhappy.

"Madam, just now my grandfather wanted to ask Miss Nangong to help tame the beast. After all, my grandfather's wish is to tame this magical beast and give it to me as a dowry." Liao Ying said, pointing at the magical beast.

"Oh? Miss Nangong is a beast tamer?" The old lady was very surprised when she heard that.

Nangong Xi nodded. So what if he was a beast tamer? Why did everyone act like they could get a great advantage?

"Since this is Mr. Liao's wish, why don't Miss Nangong help him?" The old lady of the City Lord's Mansion's words made Mr. Liao and Liao Ying's eyes light up.

"Madam, I'm a beast tamer, not a wishing well. I can't help others realize their wishes." Nangong Xi said coldly.

Everyone present suddenly found it very funny when they heard it, and coupled with Mr. Liao's expression as if he had eaten something, everyone almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Miss Nangong, isn't taming animals within your ability?" The old lady was very unhappy after being humiliated.

In fact, she spoke because she thought that this monster would become Liao Ying's dowry.

"Ridiculous, old lady. I think you are getting more and more confused as you get older. What do you think a beast tamer is? Can you order him around?" As soon as the words fell, three supreme elders walked in, and the one who spoke was the chief supreme elder.

"Grand Elders, why are you here?" Seeing the three Grand Elders, the old lady was obviously startled!

"If we don't come, will you offend the distinguished guest?" The second supreme elder said in a very cold tone.

"And Mr. Liao, if you want to prepare a dowry for your granddaughter, then spend a lot of money to find an animal trainer, and don't set your sights on the distinguished guests of my City Lord's Mansion." The third great elder looked at Mr. Liao and scolded.

Nangong Xi: ...

I didn’t expect these three old guys to be so nice and protective!

After being scolded by the Third Grand Elder, Mr. Liao's face turned ashen.

"I am sorry for being rude." After saying this, Mr. Liao put away the beast cage.

"Grand Elder, this is all Ying'er's fault. If it weren't for Ying'er, grandpa wouldn't have disturbed Miss Nangong." At this moment, Liao Ying stood up.

"Who do you think you are? You look so teasing." The great elder glanced at her.

Upon hearing this, Liao Ying took a few steps back, looking deeply shocked.

Nangong Xi: ...

This Liao Ying is probably also a master of tea art in modern times.

I finally met a fellow countryman, but I was so disappointed!

"Little girl, just tell me what you want to eat." The Great Grand Elder immediately changed his attitude when he looked at Nangong Xi.

"Okay." Nangong Xi nodded.

"City Lord, I heard that the City Lord's Mansion is preparing to select a wife for the Young City Lord. Is it true or not?" The head of the You family couldn't help but said.

He brought his three daughters with him to the banquet this time, mainly to see if he could catch the young city lord's eye.

However, the banquet was already halfway through and no one mentioned the matter, so the head of the You family could not wait any longer.

"Qian'er is not young anymore, it's time for him to get married." After the old lady said this, her eyes fell on Liao. Her meaning was very clear.

"Grandma, my grandson doesn't want to think about this issue yet." Young City Lord Ling Qian quickly stood up and said.

"Qian'er, grandma thinks Ying'er is nice. Why don't you two get to know each other first?" The old lady said with a smile.

Liao Ying, who was sitting in her seat, immediately looked shy when she heard this.

"Madam, Ying'er has said that marriage is free. If I get married, Ying'er will choose someone she likes." Liao Ying said righteously.

Everyone present was stunned by her words!

After all, in their opinion, the old lady was trying her best to bring her together with the young city lord, which was something that no one else could ask for.

She actually refused in disguise!

"Does Ying'er have a lover now?" The old lady looked at her with a smile.

"Not yet." Liao Ying shook her head slightly.

"Since there is none, then ..."

"Grandma, my grandson already has a lover, please don't match us up randomly." Before the old lady could finish her words, the Young City Lord Ling Qian interrupted her.

Liao Ying, who was originally shy and ready to accept the old lady's suggestion, suddenly raised her head when she heard this, her eyes full of disbelief.

"Qian'er has a lover? I wonder which family she is from?" The old lady was also a little surprised.

"Grandma, please let me keep it a secret for now. I will make it public once the girl agrees, okay?" Young City Lord Ling Qian said.

"Good, good, good." The old lady said good three times happily.

Although Ling Qian did not say who the other person was, everyone present looked at Nangong Xi.

Nangong Xi: ...

It seems they all misunderstood!

Ling Qian: ...

In order to prevent these people from taking advantage of me, I had to make up a lover.

When Liao Ying saw that her plan had failed, her face suddenly turned unhappy.

"Don't worry, Ying'er. Since Qian'er already has a lover, I will definitely find a perfect husband for you in the future." Perhaps the old lady noticed that Liao Ying was in a bad mood, so she quickly comforted her.

"Thank you, old madam. However, Ying'er still longs for mutual affection, so Ying'er wants to find one herself. As for the Young City Lord, Ying'er also knows that a forced melon is not sweet, and Ying'er never forces it." Liao Ying looked generous and frank.

In fact, she was almost going crazy!

"Ying'er is indeed different." The old lady looked at her with admiration in her eyes.

When she looked at Ling Qian, she found that he was talking to Nangong Xi with a smile on his face.

The old lady frowned when she saw this. Although this Miss Nangong was an animal tamer, she didn't like her!

Too arrogant!

What she didn't know was that even if she wanted to like him, she had no right to do so!
