"What... what kind of magic trick?"
Her face looked confused and suspicious, but her eyes were a little evasive. Zhu Ying perfectly demonstrated what it meant to feel guilty. Even Zhang Shou couldn't help but feel the urge to cover his face when he saw her poor acting skills. Miss, you are completely exposing your flaws. You are confessing without being asked!
Zhu Jing and Zhu Tingfang also understood something and were about to ask more questions, but the lady said, "Well, you and your son have a lot of work to do. Don't waste your time here. Go ahead. Just leave Yingying and Shou to talk to me. Dalang, go and make some preparations. I think the official decree will come down soon. You can choose anyone in the family."
At this point, the lady paused and said nonchalantly: "Our Zhaoguo Mansion is not inferior to Qinguo Mansion Zhang Family. What Qinguo can give to Zhang Chen, our family can double it for you."
Can such a thing be compared? Zhu Tingfang simply didn't know what to say. But his grandmother was doing this out of kindness, so he could only thank her hastily. When he and his father Zhu Jing, who was also expelled, left Qing'an Hall together, he couldn't help but ask, "Dad, what does mother mean by the great transformation of a living person?"
"What do you mean?" Zhu Jing glanced at his eldest son and sighed, "Your second brother followed your sister and Zhang Shou out of the city to Zhao Garden, and then suddenly disappeared. Don't you think that this matter has something to do with them? It seems that your grandmother and your mother knew everything, but they just kept it from us."
Uh… Zhu Tingfang just felt very complicated. Although women are born on one side, especially the Taifu, Jiuniang and Zhu Ying, the three of them are natural allies, but this feeling of being excluded is really not good. If it were just this, it would be fine, but what made him most dissatisfied was that Zhang Shou was also a man, but they treated him as one of their own!
But this emotion only lasted for a moment, and he immediately discovered a more important problem: "Dad means that my second brother ran away from home, and Zhang Shou and Yingying not only knew about it, but they might have instigated it from behind? No, it's not Yingying, she has the courage but not the intention, it's only Zhang Shou! Let's see if he can make people like Lu Sanlang and Zhang Chen run around in circles..."
"That heartless guy of my second brother will never escape his clutches!"
Zhu Jing could not help but snort coldly, "Erlang has been a slow learner since he was young. He is neither good at literature nor martial arts. He is not as good as you. Even if Zhang Shou is very capable, can he be considered gifted? Even Lu Sanlang Zhang Chen is just a little clever at the moment, and he cannot be compared with you. Otherwise, why would Zhang Shou recommend you to go to Cangzhou? He has many students! I think Erlang's trip is insignificant."
Although he agreed with his father's words, Zhu Tingfang didn't say anything because it would be self-boasting. But at this moment, he noticed some movement behind him and turned around immediately. Sure enough, he saw the door curtain of Qing'an Hall not far away was opened, and it was Zhang Shou who quickly chased out. He immediately glanced at his father, and Zhu Jing snorted with some dissatisfaction.
Zhang Shou saw the expressions of the father and son. When he came closer, he said directly: "Before, because Yingying volunteered, I thought she told you two about Zhu Erge's matter. Unexpectedly, she only told the lady and the ninth aunt, and lied to me about the military situation. In fact, Zhu Erge is in Cangzhou..."
