"I'm afraid our Zhang family can't agree to this matter at the moment."

There was no joy or anger in Zhang Jing's tone, nor was there any apology when he rejected others, but only seriousness.

As if it just gave an answer that should be so.

Jiang Yu and the others were stunned.

Especially Jiang Yu, who was originally comfortable eating tea, the tea almost spilled out.

He forcibly held back the surprise and anger in his heart, and asked as calmly as possible: "This matter is beneficial and harmless to your mansion, I don't know why Second Master Zhang bluntly refused?" And although this matter is not big, it is not an ordinary trivial matter, I don't know if I want to ask Master Zhang first? ”

Zhang Jing is still a kind person.

Is it beneficial or not?

If he agreed, Zhen Zhen would be the first to be unhappy, and Zhen Zhen would be unhappy, and the whole family would be unhappy - this is a great harm, how can it be said that it is beneficial and harmless?

After all, Zhen Zhen had already made it clear last night, and now those rumors outside were spread with her acquiescence.

And this rumor is not entirely unsubstantiated.

In other words, it was indeed the other party who provoked his niece first, but it was a pity that his niece couldn't get accurate evidence, so she could only use it to vent her anger a little.

The child has suffered such a grievance, and the elders should work together to be external.

As for whether the niece did something inappropriate, that is something that should be discussed behind closed doors.

Moreover, if the Jiang family was willing to do a little bit of personnel, he would not have come up today and said so much.

This time, the Jiang family came, and they couldn't wait to beat the gongs and drums, and invited others to accompany them, this is not a disguised coercion of them, what is it that the Zhang family promised?

and is clearly begging someone to do something, and hypocritically claiming that it is for the good of the two families - it should have been a matter of owe favors, but Shengsheng was going to be said by them to be a favor, and his cheekiness was so thick-skinned, that is, they were so well-cultivated that they did not send guests directly.

"I wonder if Lord Jiang has found out the source of this rumor?" Zhang Jing did not answer the rhetorical question at this time.

was rejected first, Jiang Yu was quite upset when he was asked at this time, but he had to answer: "I haven't found out yet." But what is obvious is that there must be people with intentions who deliberately spread rumors in a vain attempt to smear and provoke the Zhang and Jiang families. ”

"Master Jiang is serious." Zhang Jing shook his head slightly, and speculated in a pertinent tone: "Looking down, it's not enough." In the end, the Zhang and Jiang families have never had any contacts, let alone friendship, and it is too unrealistic to provoke them. ”

Jiang Yu didn't expect the other party to speak so bluntly, and he was immediately blocked.

Zhong Shiping's face also changed indescribably.

He said before that he had to beg for help, and his brother-in-law had to talk about reciprocity that didn't exist at all...... It's okay now, has it overturned?

“…… However, it must be the truth that someone with a heart is spreading rumors behind his back. ”

Zhong Shiping endured this suffocating and embarrassing atmosphere, and remedied: "If this matter can be clarified as soon as possible, it will not allow the conspiracy of the ill-intentioned person to succeed - if your mansion agrees to come forward, the Jiang family will remember this kindness of help." And in terms of the reputation of your house, there are also many benefits. ”

The Zhang family is obviously not a fuel-efficient lamp, those who have the idea of being cheap and obedient should save it, and honestly accept people's favors.

Jiang Yu heard what Zhong Shiping said, and his tone was as gentle as possible to echo the two sentences.

Even if he was very dissatisfied with Zhang Jing's attitude, he knew that there was no other choice but to lower his posture at the moment.

"This time, Jiang was plotted by the villain, and in order to stabilize the situation in time, he could only brazenly ask your mansion to come forward to clarify the matter." Seeing that Zhang Jing didn't answer, Jiang Yu gave up his hand, and really showed a bit of sincerity: "This time, Lao Guifu came forward to refute the rumors——"

He said so, the second master of the Zhang family will not give any more face.

Zhang Jing raised his hand and returned the salute.

Seeing this, Jiang Yu was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but he only heard the other party say: "If the truth is clear now, there is evidence to prove that this rumor is made out of nothing, and there is no need for Lord Jiang to say more, and the Zhang family will also come forward to clarify this matter." ”

Jiang Yu and the others had different expressions.

After all, this sounds very particular at first glance, and it doesn't taste right when you taste it slightly.

"But your mansion has not yet ascertained the origin of this rumor, in other words, whether this matter is true or false is unknown." Zhang Jing's tone was still calm and objective, and he asked Jiang Yu: "If it is not a rumor, the Zhang family rashly clarified it today, how to solve it in the future?" ”

“……”

Jiang Yu was completely shocked.

He couldn't believe that the other party actually said such opposing words to his face!

What do you mean in case it's not a rumor?

Is this a brazen suspicion that his daughter really intends to smear the reputation of the second girl of the Zhang family behind her back?

…… said that the good eunuchs pay attention to decency in everything, and they don't stretch out their hands to hit the smiling people?

But there is no sense of difficulty between the other party's words, as if he is just reasonably expressing his doubts!

Facing the other party's eyes that were still waiting for his answer, Jiang Yu forcibly suppressed the churn in his heart and said: "Those are just ridiculous words spread by outsiders, Second Master Zhang is a sensible reader, how can he be gullible?" Besides, the little girl and the second girl of your mansion have no holidays, how can they deliberately smear the reputation of the second girl Zhang? ”

Zhang Jing shook his head slightly.

"It's not rash and gullible, but according to common sense analysis, there is indeed this possibility. As for the holidays—"

Speaking of this, Zhang Jing said in a casual tone: "Speaking of which, seven years ago, the eldest girl of your mansion hired a murderer to destroy the appearance of the second girl of the Dingguo Mansion, and it seems that there is no festival worth mentioning. ”

And in that incident back then, whether the other party was targeting the second girl of the Dingguo Mansion or his niece, their Zhang family also had a scale in their hearts.

After all...... If beauty is a sin, his niece is obviously the one who is the most sinful.

"With this precedent, our Zhang family inevitably has to think about it a little more. The reason for this is human nature, and if there is any offense, I hope Master Jiang can understand it. Zhang Jing said in a sincere tone.

"......" Jiang Yu didn't know how to answer this at all.

The other party's set of reasoning made him dizzy, and a mouthful of blood seemed to be choked in his throat.

However, it is impossible to lose his temper, obviously there is no such condition at all, and according to the other party's intentions, he even needs to make a compensatory to the Zhang family first, so that he can appear generous and responsible......

Jiang Yu changed his tone with difficulty.

"What Second Master Zhang said is not unreasonable. My unscrupulous girl...... When I was young, I was really too unorthodox. As for the truth or falsity of this rumor at present, Jiang will definitely verify it as soon as possible, so as to give your government an explanation as soon as possible. ”

Although he didn't know why a seemingly simple thing had developed into this situation-
