Chapter 159: Zhang Jiasan
In the room, Su Yuan closed her eyes tightly, sat cross-legged on the bed, she exhaled a breath of turbidity and slowly opened her eyes.
Got up and opened the door, Mrs. Zhang was standing in front of the door with a maid carrying a lantern, "Mrs. Zhang, please come in!" Su Yuan said and let a gap come out.
"You wait here!" Madame Zhang instructed the maid beside her, and then strode in.
Su Yuan closed the door and the two sat down at the table.
"Visiting late at night, didn't disturb Immortal Gu Qingxiu, right?" After speaking, she smiled, although Mrs. Zhang was a mortal, she had also seen Zhang Tianzhi cultivate at night, and knew that it was not appropriate to come at this time.
Su Yuanwan said, "It's okay, Mrs. Zhang came here late at night, she must have something on her mind, why don't you come and hear it?"
"Su Xiangu Bingxue is intelligent, which is really admirable. Mrs. Zhang sighed after speaking, then pondered for a while, and said slowly: "Earlier, Su Xiangu said that my son Tianzhi has fallen, I don't know how long ago this happened?"
Su Yuan said: "Don't hide it from Madame, when Senior Brother Zhang fell, it was in the mountain range of my gate five years ago!"
When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she was excited again, as if she still couldn't accept it, and even her breathing became short.
Su Yuan didn't say anything, she didn't have relatives in her memory, and she was used to being alone in her usual practice, so she naturally couldn't feel this emotion, so she had to wait for the other party in a daze.
After a while, Mrs. Zhang slowly calmed down, wiped her tears and said:
"I'm not a monk, so I don't know much about the battles between you immortal cultivators. But I have heard some rumors in my ears, and it is common for them to fight each other desperately. Can...... I never thought that my son would end up like this, it was because I was so excited that I couldn't control myself, which made Su Xiangu smile."
"Senior Brother Zhang is my companion, Madame thinks too much!" Su Yuan said.
Mrs. Zhang continued:
"Tianzhi is the only immortal cultivator in the Zhang family of my sect, and he often goes out and is not in the house. This time he has been gone for five years, and in the past five years, I, a mother, have been worried about him all the time, although I already have a bad premonition in my heart, but I still can't accept the news. “
"I wonder if Aunt Su can tell me about my son's deathbed?"
Su Yuan has never been a mother, so she can't understand the mood of being a mother, but looking at Mrs. Zhang's slightly pleading eyes, this is the simplest request made by a mother, she can't bear to refuse at all, nodded in agreement, and then began to talk slowly, and did not tell the other party about the jade box.
After listening to Su Yuan's narration, Mrs. Zhang sat in a daze and couldn't say a word.
The night was getting deeper and deeper, and I don't know how long the two had been chatting in the room, but the maid waiting outside the door had extinguished the lantern, and she was obviously a little unable to support it, and leaned against the threshold and dozed off.
"Senior Brother Zhang instructed me to tell the head of the Zhang family his news, but I don't know where the head of the family is?" Seeing that Mrs. Zhang's face softened slightly, Su Yuan said.
Mrs. Zhang wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief a few times and said, "Since it was my son's request before leaving, I will no longer hide it." ”
"Su Xiangu, my lord, he ...... He's not in the house, most likely he's been arrested!" Mrs. Zhang said, her tone bursting with tears again.
"Arrested, but why?"
Mrs. Zhang said: "Although my Zhang family is not one of the four major families, and I dare not compare with these families in terms of financial resources and manpower, but I have lived on this ground for several generations, and there are some shops and businesses on the boundary of Chengzhou. ”
"More than half a year ago, the Chen family, one of the four major families in Chengzhou, sent a few people to the house, saying that their Chen family intended to merge us. As soon as the old man heard this, he immediately refused. After that, the Chen family sent people to come three times and twice, but they were all rejected by the master."
"Until half a year ago, my husband went out and never came back. After that, I received a post from someone sent by the Chen family, saying that as long as I don't agree to their merger, I won't let people back!"
"I think my Zhang family has been in the West District for several generations, and they have worked hard to lay this foundation, not to mention that the master is running around all day for the prosperity of the family, even I, a woman, are unwilling. Tianyang is impulsive again, and I don't dare to tell him about this, so I have to use the old man going out to buy as an excuse."
"That's the case!" Su Yuan muttered to himself, no wonder the people in this mansion didn't know where the head of the Zhang family was.
"I think I'm a woman, and I don't have any power for the family business, but fortunately, with Tianyang's help, there has been nothing wrong in the past six months. But it's been half a year since this happened, and I'm afraid it's hard to hide it from him. So I'm looking forward to the return of the second son, ......."
Su Yuan's expression moved, and he said, "Then, why is Madam still working so hard to support, isn't it better to obey the other party?"
Mrs. Zhang shook her head and said, "Su Xiangu doesn't know, we are already in competition with the Chen family, and we are often troubled by them on weekdays. It is said that it is a merger and acquisition, but in fact, it wants to wipe us out. As a last resort, I really don't want this ancestral family business to be ruined. At that time, even if the master is released, he will definitely not agree."
Su Yuan frowned lightly.
"Now that my son is miserable, Su Xiangu is his fellow disciple, and his cultivation must be too weak. The old man had the courage to ask the fairy aunt to rescue my master, and my entire Zhang family will be grateful for this great kindness. After Mrs. Zhang finished speaking, she stood up in her seat and was about to bow to Su Yuan.
Su Yuan helped her up, "This ......"
"Immortal Gu is my child's friend, how can she stand by and watch my Zhang family die. As long as we can rescue my master this time, if the fairy aunt has any requests, just ask, we will definitely do our best!"
Immortal cultivators are more than a little stronger than mortals, and in the eyes of this Mrs. Zhang, Su Yuan has become the last straw for their Zhang family. Of course, she also knew that if the other party really asked for anything, they mortals might not be able to do it completely, so she promised to do her best in her words, and she didn't dare to take it in one bite.
Su Yuan hesitated, she didn't want to get involved in these mortal battles, after all, her cultivation had not yet reached the foundation building period, and there were still many difficulties to face.
At this moment, the sound of the Heavenly Cracking in the Divine Consciousness sounded. "Promise her!"
"Well, senior, this is making me and the Chen family's enemy?" this ......" Su Yuan suddenly had an epiphany, "Listening to Mrs. Zhang's tone, she doesn't know anything about this jade box, so it can be seen that this jade box is very likely not owned by the Zhang family." Zhang Tianzhi kept saying that he wanted to hand it over to their family master, maybe this Zhang family master knew something about this thing. ”
"Please also ask Su Xiangu for help!" Mrs. Zhang looked at Su Yuan, her words full of pleading.
"Okay, since that's the case, I promised Madame to go to Chen's Mansion tomorrow night to have a look. “
Mrs. Zhang's eyes flashed with golden light, and she said excitedly: "Thank you Su Xiangu, thank you!"
