up a package. Since you're going there too, could you please bring me some things It's not heavy, just a few books.""Okay, no problem."Zhao Jingcheng took the job order, tucked it into his pocket, cha...Zhang Fenglin hung up the phone and immediately called his son, giving him a harsh scolding before ordering the housekeeper to buy train tickets. He was going to NN City himself.

"Yes, sir! Should we bring the Yunsi rain"

Zhang Guanyin, being a talkative person, could not help but interject.

"Take it and hand it directly to the Duan family. Our marriage alliance with the Duan family cannot be broken. Let the Duan family vent their anger, and this matter will be half resolved."

Zhang Fenglin's face was grim as he said.

"The general is wise, I shall arrange it right away."

Zhang Guanjia immediately arranged it.

At this moment, Yunsiyu was enjoying a delicious dinner, being pampered and waited on hand and foot. Little did she know what awaited her.

The day after Zhang Fenglin left his home turf in the north, news spread like wildfire that Zhang Xuet ao had betrayed Duan Jia's only daughter and found a new love. For a while, all sorts of rumors flew around, but most people said that Young Master Zhang lacked discretion. Even if he liked someone, he should wait until after Miss Duan entered the door before saying anything.

Most women say that Miss Duan's family is pitiful. She hasn't even gotten married yet, and she has to raise a child for her husband, who isn't even her own biological child. If they had such a background, they wouldn't just swallow their anger and raise someone else's child.

In short, Zhang Xuetao's reputation plummeted rapidly. Even within the Zhang family army, rumors spread that General Zhang had been seizing credit from his subordinates and mistreating soldiers. All the negative news exploded all at once.

At the same time, a crack unit from the Duan family, led by Duan Cheng, equipped with the latest weapons, has dispersed and marched north. They are preparing to join forces with the Duan family troops who have already integrated into Zhang's army, then seize the opportunity.

After the ripples had finished performing their play, they shut themselves indoors and arranged for doctors to visit each day to take their pulse. They then took medicine and simmered it, proving the credibility of the news from the side.

When Zhang Fenglin saw his son for the first time, he couldn't help but slap him.

"Father!"

Zhang Xuetao covered his face, incredulously shouted.

"How many times have I told you, keep yourself clean! Keep yourself clean! And what do you do You make such a big mess. Don't you think your position is already precarious enough Do you want to make things even harder for yourself"

Zhang Fenglin said in a cold voice.

"Father, I was wrong!"

Zhang Xuetou gritted his teeth and lowered his eyes, saying.

"Right now, come with me to the Duan family to apologize. Show your sincerity. If you dare to upset Lianyi, whatever I can give you, I can take back!"

Zhang Xuetao was startled, raising his eyes to look at his father's gloomy gaze. He could only cover his face and nod dumbly.

Subsequently, Zhang Fenglin took his son straight to Duan Dashuai's mansion. He asked the guards around his son that Duan Lianyi was still willing to marry his son, but she didn't want anyone to give birth to a child before her. The other party had one sentence that Zhang Fenglin agreed with very much: the heirs of the Duan and Zhang families could only come out from Lianyi's belly.

In Zhang Fenglin's view, Duan Lianyi had already shown great understanding and was even willing to accept her son having another woman. She was willing to let the other woman into the family after marriage, which gave her son face and a way out. Now they just needed to go with the flow.

When both parties' elders met, the atmosphere was a bit awkward. Duan Zongqing’s face was so gloomy it looked like water could drip from it. However, when he saw Zhang Xuetao’s swollen cheek, his expression finally eased a little.

"General Zhang, there are things you should talk to your child about calmly, don't resort to violence. He's even being called 'Young Marshal' outside now. You should consider his face."

"I spared him face, but has he ever spared mine Or the face of Ripple It's this that truly throws my face into disgrace."

Zhang Fenglin knew that the only way to calm Duan Zongqing's anger was to scold his son more harshly.

As expected, Duan Zongqing's complexion immediately improved a few points. Then he sighed and said:

"Alas! Children are all a burden! I have no intention of making things difficult for Brother Zhang. As the children grow up, they all have their own ideas. If Xuetang truly has no interest in my daughter, I won't force him. Breaking off the engagement is fine. I won't make it hard for him either."

"Brother Duan, please don't think like that. Xuedao was young and ignorant when he made a mistake. We should give him a chance to make amends. He was just misled by that woman."

Ripples is a good girl, willing to give Xuetao a chance, and her demands are not excessive. I think we should do it this way, I can still manage this.

Zhang Fenglin absolutely couldn't let this matter die down. He immediately voiced his opinion and glared at Zhang Xuetao, who remained silent.

Zhang Xuetao took a deep breath, stood up, bowed deeply, and then lowered his head to speak:

"Uncle, it's my fault for being naive and misled. I did something wrong, and I hope you can give me a chance to make amends. I will personally apologize to Ripple and agree to all her requests. For the rest of my life, she will be my only wife."

Duan Zong glanced at Zhang Xuetao, who stood tall and straight before him. He raised his teacup and took a sip before speaking, "

"Go see Ripples in the backyard! I won't stop her if she wants to."

Thank you, uncle!

Zhang Xuetao bowed again before leaving for the backyard.

"Brother Duan, don't worry! From now on, I will keep an eye on Tao'er and will never let him make the same mistakes. Since things have come to this, in order to eliminate the negative impact from the outside world, I think we should just go ahead and get the two children married. We can't let those ill-intentioned people take advantage of the situation."

Zhang Fenglin, the cunning old fox, has already started thinking about his next move.

"That depends on your son's sincerity. I know my own daughter well; she takes after her mother and is easily swayed. If Xue Tao sincerely apologizes, she won't make things difficult for him. After all, they have a different kind of connection."

Duanzongqing said calmly.

"Yes, Duan Ge said it well."

Duan Zongqing's tone had softened, Zhang Fenglin immediately waved his hand, ordering someone to bring Yun Siyu up.

"The woman who tempted my son, I've brought her here as well. How you dispose of her is entirely up to you, Duan."

Duan Zongqing looked at Yun Siyu, whose face was full of panic and clutching her stomach, and said faintly:

"

Take it away and lock it up. How to dispose of it is up to the lady.

"

"Yes!"

Immediately, a group of family members came forward, took over Yunsiyu, and even used a handkerchief to stuff her mouth. They roughly dragged her away.

This move left Yun Si's legs weak. She thought that by being brought here, she would be able to see Zhang Xuetao. She put on a pitiful act and bowed her head low in front of Duan Lianyi, hoping to temporarily save herself and the child in her womb. However, the reality was that she didn't meet anyone and became a prisoner under Duan's family instead.

On the other side, Zhang Xuetao, with half of his face swollen red, went to see Lianyi. As expected, he softened her heart. He swore and vowed, and even agreed to the conditions Lianyi proposed, finally coaxing her back to happiness. Only then did he leave Duang's mansion with his father.

Zhang Xuetao, who got in the car, was unusually silent. Zhang Fenglin, sitting beside him, glared at him with a look of exasperation. If he didn't only have this son, he would have long since started over and cultivated a more obedient child.

"I discussed with Duan Dashuai, and we decided to get your wedding done as soon as possible. You should be more attentive recently and spend more time with Lianyi. Don't cause any more trouble!"ve to the one she had missed.This touched Mu Xi Nian's heart, giving the female ghost time to accompany her in searching for her lover. Unfortunately, her lover had already passed away.She's not just...
