In front of Zhang Sanye's courtyard, the door was still closed, Zhang Mingyang stopped, and asked Liu Sanwen to let Lu Yao's mother and daughter pack their luggage, he had no feelings for the Zhang family, only Lu Yao's mother and daughter let her worry, since they were leaving, they naturally had to take the two of them with them. Liu Sanwen retreated, Zhang Mingyang stared at the courtyard door, and only raised his right hand to knock on the door for a while.

"Come in," but before he could touch the courtyard door, a strong wind blew inside, and the courtyard door was opened, and a calm voice came from inside. Zhang Mingyang paused for a moment, and then walked in firmly.

The flowers and trees in the small courtyard are all withered, the furnishings are scattered and dusty, obviously it has not been used for a long time, the door of the main house is open, and a thin middle-aged man can be seen from the outside, it is his father - Zhang Erchang.

"Father" Zhang Mingyang stepped forward to salute, but Zhang Erchang did not pay attention to him, still put all his thoughts into the pen, the room was full of portraits, the paintings are the same content, for a graceful woman, the woman is wearing a white dress, the facial features are upright, the nose and willow eyebrows, the corners of the mouth are slightly upturned, as if smiling, the body is slender, the long hair is flying, like a fairy in the sky, clean and vulgar, but the fly in the ointment is that he has not painted his eyes, so that he has lost his charm, Zhang Mingyang looked quietly, and did not make a sound.

"Ready to go?" Zhang Erchang asked lightly without raising his head.

"The Zhang family can't tolerate me, and the child is here to say goodbye to his father, by the way...... There are a few questions I would like to ask my father to answer. Zhang Mingyang has always remembered what Mr. Yang Ming said before, and if he wants to know about his mother, he can ask his father. But after Zhang Mingyang finished speaking, Zhang Erchang no longer paid attention to him, and still worked hard to paint. But Zhang Mingyang found that the portrait his father was drawing at this time was different from before, and he was giving the woman the finishing touch.

Only these eyes Zhang Erchang painted for half a day, the most difficult thing for the painter is the eye, this is the charm of the whole portrait, finally the last stroke, Zhang Erchang picked up the paper, frowned slightly, obviously not very satisfied with this portrait, but still handed the portrait to Zhang Mingyang, said lightly:

"Take it, this is your mother."

Although Zhang Mingyang had already guessed that the portrait of the woman in the room might be his mother, but at this time he was still a little surprised to get confirmation from Zhang Erchang's mouth, Zhang Mingyang carefully observed the portrait, the woman's eyes were clear, her eyes were full of wisdom, combined with her beautiful figure, it was really a stunner in the world, Zhang Mingyang looked at it for a long time, and then slowly rolled up the painting paper and put it in his arms.

"Now if you have any questions, just ask, and I will tell you everything I know."

"Where's Mother?"

"I don't know."

"What is Mother's background?"

"I don't know"

"Are the rumors of the Zhang family true?"

"True and false"

Zhang Mingyang breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he didn't know what to ask, and continued to ask:

"What is true and what is false?"

"Your mother did give birth to you in the Qinglou, and she did take the money of the head of the family and then disappeared, this is true, but your mother is not a geisha in the Qinglou, and she is not greedy for money and abandoned you, this matter is false."

"What about you, father? Why have you been closed to me for more than ten years? Although Zhang Mingyang's tone was calm, anyone could hear the sourness.

"I'm not your biological father."

"What?" Zhang Mingyang was struck by lightning, and his heart was completely shaken, Zhang Erchang is not his biological father, so who is his biological father? Where is it now?

"You're not my father? Then why did you bring me back to Zhang's house? ”

"Alas...... I'll tell you the whole story. Zhang Erchang sighed and said faintly:

"Back then, I participated in the autumn test with you, and won the show, on the way back, I met a stunning woman who was chased and killed, I had the heart to help, but the killer's strength was too strong, I would die if I touched it, so I had to secretly follow closely behind, the woman was extremely skilled, and now I want to come to the killer team Most of them are lifted, and there are a few more terrifying breaths mixed in it, but the woman has broken out of their siege several times, if it is not for the pregnancy in the womb, I am afraid that the woman will not be afraid of these killers, Mobility and fear of hurting the fetus, the woman did not entangle with the killer too much, but fled all the way, into Yuanpu County, I returned home and still feel at ease, so I sent people to inquire, learned that the woman left some traces near a green building, so I looked for the past, there were traces of a fight nearby, but there was no one, I entered the green building to find the whereabouts of the woman, and searched around but still found nothing, just when I was about to give up, there was a trace of movement in the firewood room in the backyard of the green building, I opened the door of the firewood room, and a long sword suddenly stabbed out, against my throat, this is the first time I have seen this amazing woman up close, it is really beautiful,"

Zhang Erchang fell into a good memory as he spoke, and said with an intoxicated face. Zhang Mingyang interrupted him with a light cough. Zhang Erchang realized that he was out of shape, sorted out his thoughts, and continued:

The woman seemed to be in unbearable pain, and her hand holding the sword trembled a little, and I knew that she might be about to give birth, so I explained a few words briefly, and hurriedly found the midwife. Soon after there was a baby cry in the firewood room, and this cry also attracted the people in the green building, they came to check, in order to protect the woman, I blocked everyone at the door, under the aggressive questioning of everyone, I had no choice but to say that this is the son born to me and the geisha of the green building, this commotion was calmed, but the head of the house also got the news, and brought people to question me at night, I had to admit that the head of the house gave the woman a lot of money to let her leave, the woman hesitated for a while and then nodded and agreed to the head of the house, waiting for the head of the house to leaveThe woman discussed with me and asked me to take the baby back to Zhang's house, and I could see that she was very reluctant in her heart, but for the safety of the baby, she still made such a decision. The next day the woman disappeared and was never seen again. Zhang Erchang looked pained and stopped talking.

"All these women are my mother? Is this baby me? ”

"Exactly."

"Why did you ignore me when you promised my mother?"

"Since your mother disappeared, I have not had any thoughts, and I have exiled myself, so naturally I can't take care of you."

"Then why did you come forward for me when I went to participate in the Autumn Exam?"

"How do you know it's me?"

"Who else in this Zhang family is willing to stand up for me?"

"Because I remember that day, I met your mother after the autumn test, remembering the past, remembering your mother's trust, so I took a hand to protect you."

"So you don't know much about my mother?"

"Well, I don't know anything."

"You already know the changes in the Zhang family, right?"

"Hmm"

"And what are you going to do?"

"I knew that you must not be in the pool, just because your mother is a stunning and beautiful woman, you will leave the Zhang family sooner or later, as for Zhang Mingde, you are to blame."

"Oh? You don't even think about the love of your uncle and nephew, you are the strongest person in the Zhang family now, I thought you would make a move on me. ”

"In the past ten years, although I have not been closed, but I know everything about the Zhang family, these years the head of the family has never thought of your uncle and nephew, he does not know that you are not my own son, but still regard you as a lowly person, and now he wants to put you to death, never die. Why should I miss the love of family? Zhang Erchang said indifferently.

"Hehe, that's the case, thank you for informing, farewell." Zhang Mingyang smiled slightly, turned around and wanted to leave.

"Wait, if you see your mother......" Zhang Erchang hurriedly stopped Zhang Mingyang, but he was only halfway through his words.

"Don't worry, if you find my mother, I will naturally come to the door with my mother to thank you." Zhang Mingyang didn't reply and walked out of the small courtyard without replying to a word.

Zhang Mingyang was lonely at this time, his mother disappeared, and now he learned that even his father was not biological, the world is so big, where is his home, and when can he see his parents? He walked to Lu Yao's residence in despair, and the mother and daughter had already packed up and were waiting for him in the courtyard.

"Young Master Mingyang, ...... are you," the nurse asked when she saw Zhang Mingyang's unusual expression.

"A-Niang, you already knew it, right?" Zhang Mingyang smiled reluctantly and looked at the nurse.

"Young Master Mingyang......"

"Auntie, what else do you know, tell me as well."

"Alas...... It's come to this point......"

"Okay, young master Mingyang, and listen to me carefully, the third master will take you back to the Zhang family and hand you over to me to feed, in the middle of the night your mother escaped into the Zhang family to find me, at that time she was covered in blood, looked very weak, but still snatched you from my hands, held in her arms, full of love can see that she is also very reluctant, a moment later or handed me the young master you to me, and told me that you are not the heir of the Zhang family, I hope I will raise you for the sake of a young baby, and then give me all the property given to her by the head of the family, Young Master Mingyang, your mother's belongings are all here, and her old body has not touched anything over the years. The nurse opened a small box on the stone table and slowly opened it, filling it with gold.

"Auntie, this is what you deserve, you take it, you go on"

"Young Master Mingyang, your mother must have encountered some major changes at that time, so she reluctantly left you in the Zhang family, so that you can grow up safely and avoid disasters, she left that jade pendant, so that you can always carry it on your body, and it must not be known by anyone, saying that it will be of great benefit when you become a literati, let me tell you, you don't have to look for her, the enemy she and your father encountered is very strong, if they can avoid this disaster, they will come to look for you, but these fourteen years have passed, and there is still no news, you can imagine how much trouble they encountered, Young Master Mingyang, you must not be resentful of them, they are also forced to abandon you and face a strong enemy alone...... That's all the old body knows. ”

"Auntie, I know, I don't resent them"

"Young Master Mingyang, over the years, I have long regarded you as my own, but I blame the old man for his low status, and I can't give you a better environment......"

"A-Niang, don't say that, if there is no A-Niang to raise you, how can Mingyang have today, Mingyang has always regarded A-Niang as her biological mother and Xiaoyao as her little sister in her heart. This time I came back to take A-Niang and Xiaoyao to live a stable life, and they were no longer bullied by the Zhang family. ”

"A-Niang, I will look for my parents, I'll take you out of here first."

"Okay, the old body obeys the arrangement of Young Master Mingyang."

"Xiao Yao, take care of A-Niang, let's go."

Zhang Mingyang strode forward, Lu Yao followed closely with the nurse, Liu Sanwen walked at the end with his luggage, and everyone walked out of Zhang's house and went straight to an inn in the city, where they met Zhou Chengzhi, Chen Kuan and others.

"Brother Zhang, you're finally here, I was just about to send someone to Zhang's house to look for you, huh? Younger brother...... It turned out to be a daughter, please forgive me for being rude before. ”

Chen Kuan had been waiting for Zhang Mingyang in front of the inn, and when he saw him coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, but when he saw Lu Yao dressed in women's clothes, he suddenly realized that he apologized. Lu Yao was in a heavy mood, and reluctantly smiled slightly and did not answer.

"Elder Zhou and his uncle and aunt are here, right?"

"It's all in the guest room, Brother Zhang, please."

"Zhang Gongzi!"

"Virtuous nephew!"

When everyone saw Zhang Mingyang's arrival, they stepped forward to greet him.

"Uncle and uncle, can the horse bandits be dealt with properly?"

"All have been handed over to the government and are pending conviction by the government."

"Well, Elder Zhou, is the third young lady okay?"

"Thank you for your help, and the third lady is safe and sound."

"That's good, I have a reluctant request below, and I hope Elder Zhou will fulfill it."

"Zhang Gongzi said that it doesn't matter, as long as I Zhou Chengzhi can do it, the old man will definitely do his best."

"I want to arrange my aunt and little sister to live in Zhou Mansion for a while, I don't know ......"

"No problem, the old man still does such trivial things, Zhang Gongzi and rest assured, as long as the old man is still an elder in the Zhou family one day, he will not let Zhang Gongzi's family suffer any grievances."

"In this way, Zhang Mingyang thanked Elder Zhou first."

"Zhang Gongzi doesn't need to be polite. If it weren't for Zhang Gongzi's action, I'm afraid that the third lady would still be suffering from the horse bandits, and for this alone, presumably the head of the family would also be grateful to Zhang Gongzi. ”

"Virtuous nephew, why don't you leave your relatives to me and your uncle to take care of, they are all wealthy families, the water is as deep as the sea, and they are fighting openly and secretly, which is really a very suitable place for people, ouch...... Elder Zhou must not think too much, he has always been upright, he has no intentions, sorry, sorry. Father Chen saw that Zhang Mingyang handed over Lu Yao's mother and daughter to the care of the Zhou family, and said bluntly, and Chen's mother immediately twisted his arm on the side, and then realized that he had leaked his mouth.

"Hehe, yes, virtuous nephew, it's better to leave it to us to take care of, our dart game is like ordinary people, I want to come to the two of us to live here and get used to it"

"Uncle and aunt, the dart game often has tasks to go out, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient, so I don't bother the two."

"Yes, yes, although my Zhou family is a wealthy family, there are indeed factional disputes in the clan, but the old man is also an elder of the clan, and there is no problem in protecting Zhang Gongzi's relatives, Zhang Gongzi and rest assured."

Zhou Chengzhi has seen Zhang Mingyang's real strength and has long wanted to hug this thigh, but he has no way to start, and now that the opportunity is in front of him, he is trying his best to fight for it.

"Hehe, then I'll bother Elder Zhou."

"Hey, where is Mr. Zhang, this is the honor of the old man, and it is also the blessing of my Zhou family."

Zhang Mingyang nodded, and everyone stopped making a sound, Chen Kuan immediately arranged two upper rooms for Lu Yao's mother and daughter, so that the two of them could rest first, and then Zhang Mingyang took Liu Sanwen to gently knock on the door of Miss Zhou Jiasan's room.
