Outside the carriage.

Gu Yan looked back and forth from the carriage to the people still standing in front of the wide entrance of the Qu residence, waiting for the engaged couple to come out of it.

"Gu Yan, what\'s wrong? Why hasn\'t the Duke stepped out of the carriage?" And elder man asked, he was holding a cane in his hand. His wise eyes looked at the door of the carriage and frown.

"That…" Gu Yan paused to think of a lie for his master and said, "Master is busy looking at some reports and said to not disturb him."

"Reports? Aiya, this young lord of yours sure is neglecting his fiance. What is he really thinking?" Scolded another old man with a long beard.

Upon hearing that Qu Xing Xu decided to propose to a young lady, the elders of the Qu family started to make a fuss over this matter.

They never expected Qu Xing Xu to marry anyone and they even thought that he found a new world to settle in where he could venture together with male beauties..

At first, when elder Mo Ting said this to the other elders in the Qu clan, everyone was terrified and wanted to meet the young Duke to change his mind.

They tried to look for beautiful young ladies from a noble family but were kicked out by Qu Xing Xu. They even tried to put a few paid beauties on his side, but who knew that Qu Xing Xu would take down a few of their courtyards to ashes. Rendering them to shut their mouths.

Qu Xing Xu repelled every one of them and didn\'t even try to open the gates of the Qu residence to them even after they formed a group to stop him from going to the other side.

In the end, the elders were exhausted and tired with their persistent pursuits to stop Qu Xing Xu. They decided to support and wish the young Duke a good life.

However, when Qu Xing Xu sent them letters saying that the Duchess of Xin will soon arrive, the elders panicked. They were still uncomfortable with the thoughts of having a male Duchess of Xin.

Thankfully, their worries and nightmares didn\'t come true as they heard from the aides of Qu Xing Xu that their master went to propose to a young lady from the Lin family.

But who was this Lin young lady? They didn\'t know who she is. They know that Lin Xiaomeng had four Lin granddaughters but Qu Xing Xu didn\'t tell them who he had proposed to. Well, the elders didn\'t care who she was for as long as she was a pure lady inside and outside.

"Gu Yan, are we really supposed to wait here?" Elder Mo Ting asked. He tapped his foot on the ground as he became impatient.

The lady who was destined to become the Duchess of Xin still hadn\'t come out from her carriage either. Could it be that Qu Xing Xu and the lady wanted to compete among themselves whoever comes down their carriage first?

Unbeknownst to him, the lady and the Due didn\'t ride separately. They were actually sitting in the same carriage!

Besides, why were they standing so far away from the carriage? This question was sent to Gu Yan through the eyes of the elders who looked at him suspiciously.

Gu Yan had a stoic face as he internally screamed inside his mind. He wanted to close his eyes and disappear from their focus.

He intentionally drove them away from the carriage. With the elders\' sharp ears, they might hear what was going on inside the carriage. It was fortunate that elders were already old and their hearings were slightly distorted.

"Elders, let\'s just wait here for master and young madam to come out. This shouldn\'t take long." As soon as he said that, Gu Yan heard the groan and a painful whimper from inside the carriage.

With his highly developed ears, he could hear the noises inside the carriage and blushed.

Master! It\'s still broad daylight! Please have mercy on my ears! Gu Yan bitterly thought to himself as he imagines his master bullying Lin Xiaofei.

The elders waited patiently for a few more minutes before they became agitated.

With determined steps, they walked towards the carriage.

"Elders! Please don\'t do this!" Gu Yan tried to stop them. He wished they could treasure their remaining lives by not disturbing his master.

However, the elders didn\'t stop even after Gu Yan tried to block them. They were still skilled in martial arts and quite strong but facing Gu Yan\'s might, they find themselves straining their bodies to push him.

"Little Gu Yan, isn\'t your master too much? He won\'t even let us, his elders, see his fiance. How disrespectful!" The old man who had a cane in his hand said. He wanted to check if the person whom Qu Xing Xu proposed to was indeed a female.

"Try to understand us, young one. We just want to be free of worries and regrets."

Soon, the other elders joined in to convince Gu Yan. They knew how skilled and strong Gu Yan is and thus, they decided to attack his conscience.

Finally, Gu Yan gave up and gave way to the elders. He also wanted to save his young madam from his barbarian master. But he also wanted to stop them from opening the carriage.

From inside the carriage, Lin Xiaofei stopped Qu Xing Xu\'s hand which was still massaging her head.

She looked up to him and said, "That\'s enough. It doesn\'t hurt anymore."

Stopping his hand, Qu Xing Xu glanced to the side where the door was before he looked down at her.

He placed his hand on her right cheek and used his thumb to wiped the dried tears on her cheek.

Lin Xiaofei wanted to evade his hand but at the time she moved, the door to the carriage burst open.

"You brat! What are you busying yourself inside there?!" The old man with a cane scolded loudly after they pulled Gu Yan away from the carriage.
