Chapter Forty-Eight: Something Went Wrong
"The head of the house, everyone is together. There was a knock at the door.
Zhang Daotian hurriedly took the basin away, put away the seal of the old man of his family, straightened his clothes, sat in the first place, coughed lightly, and said, "Let them all come in." β
The door of the living room opened, and dozens of people came in at once, including Zhang Ling and Zhang Muge.
"Sit down. Zhang Daotian said lightly.
Everyone found their own places to sit down, and Zhang Muge and Zhang Ling sat opposite Bai Nan, next to Zhang Daotian's position.
Seeing this, Bai Nan sighed lightly in his heart, Zhang Muge's sister and brother can sit in such an important position, which just shows that the Zhang family is scarce.
In fact, Bai Nan learned from Zhang Ling before that the Zhang family has been in a single line in recent generations, and in his generation, there are two sisters and brothers, and they are already prosperous.
When Bai Nan looked at everyone, the people of the Zhang family were also looking at him.
This is the Zhang family's family meeting, and Bai Nan, an outsider, appeared here, which really made many people wonder.
"I have gathered you here today for the marriage of the pastoral. Zhang Daotian said.
Zhang Muge's face turned pale instantly, a pair of small hands clenched tightly, and lowered her head to prevent others from seeing her expression clearly.
The rest of the Zhang family understood what the family wanted to decide, some were angry, and some were unmoved.
"Dad, do you really have the heart to marry your sister to Han Yunfei, that bastard? Don't you know what kind of person he is?" Zhang Ling patted the armrest, stood up, and glared at Zhang Daotian angrily.
"Young master, you can't say that. An old man beside Zhang Ling spoke: "Although the young master of the Han family has a worse style of life, after all, he is the young master of the Han family, and the eldest lady is not wronged when she marries." β
The old man sat in the front row, next to Zhang Ling, indicating that he also had some status in the Zhang family.
After listening to the old man's words, many people in the Zhang family nodded in agreement.
Zhang Daotian glanced at Bai Nan at this time, as if to say that it was not what he expected.
"Isn't it a grievance, then why don't you marry him?" Zhang Ling turned his head and glared at the old man and shouted loudly.
"Ling'er!" Zhang Daotian frowned and snorted, "How can you talk to the elders, and your impatient temperament must be changed, don't get angry at every turn." β
Zhang Ling was about to say something, and Zhang Muge on the other side pulled his sleeve.
"Sister......" Zhang Ling said angrily.
Zhang Muge raised his head and stared at him with beautiful eyes. Zhang Ling's anger disappeared suddenly, and he sat down honestly.
Bai Nan noticed that Zhang Muge's face had adjusted at this time, so that people couldn't see what she was thinking, and he suddenly looked up to her a little more in his heart.
Seeing that the head of the family reprimanded Zhang Ling, the old man smiled, and then said: "The head of the family, the White Oak Divine Tree is not only my Zhang family, but also the holy relic of Ash Island, it must not be destroyed by outsiders, and our Zhang family has always valued honesty the most. β
Zhang Daotian nodded and said: "Indeed, our Zhang family is indeed the most honest, which is also the foundation of our Zhang family. β
Seeing the approval of the head of the family, the old man smiled even more happily, "However, we don't have the strength to compete with the Han family, the Han family is a big family on Ash Island, the people in the clan are prosperous, there are many strong people, and there is the support of Qingyunmen behind it." Therefore, if you continue to compete with the Han family, you will only suffer disasters. β
The deacon has a point. β
"Although the Han family is too much this time, their strength is too strong, and the Xia family has already admitted it. β
As soon as the old man spoke, someone in the Zhang family had already begun to echo him.
"Therefore, I think the second condition given by the Han family today is very suitable, not only to keep the promise to preserve the White Oak Divine Tree, but also to preserve our strength, and to have a relationship with the Han family, this is a triple win. The old man continued.
Zhang Ling grinned, looking like he was about to swallow the old man alive.
"The deacon has a point, and I think so. Zhang Daotian said.
"Dad!" Zhang Ling couldn't help it and shouted again.
"But ......" Zhang Daotian changed his words and said, "Now things are going a little wrong." β
"Fork?" the old man frowned and asked, "I don't know what the head of the family is talking about." β
"This ...... Let's ask this white boy to say. Zhang Daotian pointed to Bai Nan.
Bai Nan was a little confused, didn't he say that you performed, I only cooperated with you to perform, why do you still let me be the starring role.
Everyone in the Zhang family looked at Bai Nan curiously, while Zhang Ling and Zhang Muge had hope in their eyes, because they heard that Bai Nan seemed to have a way to help them solve their predicament.
"Ahem. This matter, I also just did. "Bai Nan did just know," my grandfather once made a marriage contract with a senior from Ash Island, and I came to Ash Island this time to propose. β
"It turns out that Brother Bai, aren't you here to practice?" Zhang Ling said.
"This, it's really my fault, and I didn't mean to deceive you. Bai Nan apologized in his heart for deceiving him now.
"It's okay, it's all a trifle, who doesn't have a secret. Zhang Ling didn't care and said: "However, Brother Bai, where is your fiancΓ©e, maybe I still know it." β
"This ......" Bai Nan glanced at Zhang Muge, really didn't know how to speak.
Zhang Daotian couldn't stand it anymore, glared at Bai Nan, took over the conversation and said, "The predecessor of Ash Island that Bai Gongzi said is the previous head of our Zhang family, that is, my father. β
As soon as Zhang Daotian's words came out, it was like throwing a bomb, and everyone present was stunned.
After a long time, Zhang Ling stammered: "Then, Brother Bai, isn't your fiancΓ©e my sister?"
Bai Nan gritted his teeth and nodded, feeling a little apologetic, Zhang Ling regarded him as a brother, but he wanted to be someone's brother-in-law.
After Zhang Ling got an accurate answer, his eyes widened, his mouth opened into a circle, and Zhang Muge beside him also looked the same, the two of them were worthy of being sisters and brothers, and their shocked expressions were exactly the same.
"Has the head of the family ever confirmed?" the old man said at this time: "Although my Zhang family is not a big force, it also has some status on Ash Island, and it is inevitable that some people will have the intention of clinging to it. β
Bai Nan smiled bitterly in his heart, he is also the chief disciple of Qingyunmen, can he cling to your Zhang family.
"Big Brother Bai is not such a person. Zhang Ling retorted.
"The young master and he have only known each other for a long time, and they don't know their hearts. The old man said leisurely, and when he looked at Bai Nan, there was both doubt and resentment in his eyes.
"This matter is so important, and at such a critical juncture, does the deacon think that I will convene everyone here to discuss without confirming it?
It seems that this Zhang Daotian is not only stubborn, but also quite cautious.
"Don't dare. The old man arched his hand, "However, I think everyone still hopes that Bai Gongzi will come up with evidence, and he can't just want to marry my eldest lady of the Zhang family in a daze." β
"Bai Gongzi, take it out. Zhang Daotian looked at Bai Nan.
Bai Nanchong took out the crumpled marriage certificate in his arms and handed it over.
Zhang Daotian turned out to be a marriage book, he didn't read it, so he threw it to the old man, and the things on this marriage book were all written by him, so naturally he didn't need to read it again.
The old man took the marriage book and read it carefully for a while, his face became more and more ugly.
Zhang Ling snatched it up and looked at it with Zhang Muge's head.
Zhang Ling's face changed several times, and he couldn't see what kind of mentality he was in at this time, but Zhang Muge secretly glanced at Bai Nan.
"Deacon, what should you do about this, our Zhang family has always valued integrity. Zhang Daotian took out what he had just said again at this time.
