Chapter 118: Splitting the Zhang Mansion starts with the eldest lady
Zhang Lingyu cried and ran to the door of the house.
"Who!" Roaring in annoyance, she looked up and saw Qiao Gaoshi with a gloomy face standing in front of her.
The picture that I saw by chance that day flashed through my mind, Zhang Lingyu's red eyes glanced at him complicatedly, and then without saying a word, she bypassed and ran out of Zhang's mansion.
This scene happened to be seen by Zhang Guanyuan, who came out to greet him, and frowned.
"Uncle Zhang, the eldest lady seems to be in a bad mood?" Qiao Gaoshi glanced back at the direction where Zhang Lingyu disappeared and asked casually.
Zhang Guanyuan snorted coldly and said, "Don't worry about her, this girl has always been pampered, I guess she has a temper again." β
It won't be long before I'll have to come back on my own.
Now that it was dark, the reason why the two met was that they had important things to discuss.
While talking, he walked to the study, and no one took Miss Zhang, who ran out, to heart.
Zhang Lingyu ran all the way to the small river in the middle of the city before stopping, and sat in the small pavilion by the river a little weakly. Looking at the lotus lanterns floating on the river and listening to the sheng songs faintly coming from the flower boat, she finally calmed down a little.
She was supposed to attend Cao's birthday banquet, but the night before, when she was passing by Zhang Guanyuan's study, she happened to hear something she shouldn't have heard.
At that time, when Zhang Guanyuan and Qiao Gao opened the door and walked out, she subconsciously hid behind the pillars in the corridor.
She vaguely heard the words banquet, thief, Liu family and arrangement from the conversation between the two, so she didn't leave out of curiosity, and listened to the conversation between the two later.
They seem to have a plan to implement at tomorrow's banquet!
This possibility made Zhang Lingyu a little at a loss, so much so that she hid in her room the next day on the grounds of physical discomfort.
Although Zhang Guanyuan has always been patriarchal and strict with her, and is not a good father and husband in her eyes, he has always been a good official.
Whenever she hears someone praise the county order, she will be quite happy, and she has always been proud of being the eldest lady of Zhangfu.
The reason why she can be so proud is entirely because the Zhang family gave her this capital!
But Guangfeng Jiyue's father also joined forces with others to plot against the Liu family, which made Zhang Lingyu a little incompetent.
Thinking of the rumors of the city, a terrible thought could not help but rise in her heart.
That's why she hid outside the door and peeked on the day of the banquet, but she didn't expect the thief she heard before to really appear.
Zhang Lingyu didn't know what happened later, but she was hit a little hard in her heart.
She knew that her father had been very close to Qiao Gaoshi recently, but she pretended not to know, and always hoped that she had just misunderstood.
Today they are together again.
Zhang Lingyu leaned on the pillar beside her, and her thoughts in her head were extremely confused.
"Father, let Aunt Mei boil pork rib soup tomorrow, I want to drink it!"
A very familiar female voice came not far away, and Zhang Lingyu subconsciously looked over.
It turned out to be Han Ya and Han's father and Han's mother.
The three of them stood leisurely by the river and walked leisurely, and the couple looked at Han Ya with doting smiles on their faces.
"Does Ya'er just want to drink Aunt Mei's boil?" Han's mother helped Han Ya take the collar of the cloak, "Is it because my mother's craftsmanship is not good, so Ya'er doesn't want to drink?" β
"If Mother can make pork rib soup herself, then Ya'er will definitely not have a sip left!" Han Ya's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she hurriedly replied.
"Looks like tomorrow will have a good mouth." Father Han said with a smile, "It's a pity that Tian'er is not here." β
Zhang Lingyu looked at the three members of the Han family in a daze, and in the depths of her eyes was a yearning that she had not even noticed.
She used to think that Han Ya was too naΓ―ve and innocent, and she could even be said to be a little stupid! But now she is a little envious of her.
It's only like that, if you're spoiled like a baby at home.
The Han family is far less powerful and rich than the Zhang family, but the Zhang family will never have the same life as them.
"Huh? Sister Lingyu! β
Han Ya's surprise shout made Zhang Lingyu come back to her senses and look forward a little dazedly.
Han Ya was talking to her mother, and when she turned her head, she happened to see Zhang Lingyu sitting in the pavilion, and she was particularly surprised.
"Sister Lingyu, why are you here by yourself? Waiting for someone? β
Han Ya ran towards Zhang Lingyu, and Han's father and Han's mother behind her glanced at each other when they saw this, and also walked towards this side with a smile on their faces.
"Why is Miss Zhang dressed so thinly, the wind by the river is cold, and it's not good to be cold." Mrs. Han looked left and right and found that there were no warm clothes, so she took off the fox fur that was put on her shoulders as decoration, and put it on Zhang Lingyu's neck without saying anything.
"Uncle and aunt, just call me Lingyu." Zhang Lingyu sniffed and pulled out a smile a little reluctantly.
Her slightly swollen eyes and cheeks with shallow palm prints made Han Mu understand something, and she frowned a little distressedly.
"It's getting late, Lingyu should go home quickly, don't let Lingtang Lingci worry." Gently patting Zhang Lingyu's shoulder, Mrs. Han said very gently and dissuaded.
"I don't want it!" Zhang Lingyu blurted out when she heard this, and then realized that her reaction was a little too aggressive, she lowered her head a little shyly, and whispered, "I don't want to go back." β
"This..."Mrs. Han looked at her husband a little helplessly, and asked with her eyes.
Han Ya looked at Zhang Lingyu and pursed her lips, and then said, "Father and mother, it's better to let Sister Lingyu go back with us first, you can't sit here." β
"It's fine." Han Mu nodded, and asked the girl who was a little confused in a soft voice, "Lingyu, what do you see?" β
Zhang Lingyu hesitated.
Seeing this, Han Ya directly grabbed her arm and said with great interest: "Sister Lingyu, don't hesitate, Aunt Mei made osmanthus cake today is delicious!" You definitely love it! β
It was difficult to resist the enthusiasm, and Miss Zhang followed back to the Han Mansion in such a trance.
Worried about the Zhang family's worries, Han's father also sent a subordinate to Zhang's mansion to explain the situation.
"Master, Madame has been waiting outside for a long time." In the Zhang family's study, the housekeeper reminded in a whisper.
A trace of impatience flashed on Zhang Guanyuan's face.
Just now, he and Qiao Gao were discussing important matters, and the Chu family, who only knew how to chant Buddha, suddenly came to ask for a meeting. He told her to come back later, and the woman just stood outside and waited until now.
Qiao Gaoshi said goodbye at the right time, and Zhang Guanyuan hurriedly got up and sent him to the door of the study.
As soon as the door opened, Mrs. Zhang, who was turning Buddhist beads in the courtyard, hurriedly greeted her, her eyes full of anxiety.
"Master, Xiaoyu, she..."
"Discipline your good daughter, how adult-aged she is and so stubborn! Running away from home and not returning home at night, is this what the eldest lady should do! β
Chu was stunned by Zhang Guanyuan's sudden reprimand, and his lips moved without speaking.
"I don't know what to check, change my mind to see if there is a husband who wants her!" Zhang Guanyuan, who had been suppressed for a long time for the Liu family, was completely taking the opportunity to vent, and the Chu family became a target.
"Xiaoyu is your daughter..."
"I'd rather not have this useless daughter!"
