Chapter 554: Mom, Grandpa!
Chapter 554: Mom, Grandpa!
Before Zhang Bufan could ask a few more questions, the kid had already retreated into the carriage, and the curtain dropped, blocking his view.
He pursed his lips slightly, turned to look at Wang and Lin, laughed awkwardly twice, then coughed lightly and said solemnly: "It is shocking that such a murder happened on the road today! According to common sense, I have the responsibility to maintain peace in this area, so I should send my subordinates to the two princesses' houses to inquire about relevant matters. But..."
Zhang Bufan turned his gaze to the bloody man who had been properly dealt with by his subordinates. He could not help but frowned slightly and continued, "My subordinates are all rude and I am afraid they will scare Princess Le'an. It would be more appropriate for me to go there in person, and I can also escort the two princesses back to the mansion."
Wang and Lin looked at each other, exchanged a knowing look, and nodded happily, expressing their agreement with Zhang Bufan's proposal.
At this moment, Zhang Bufan still had a fluke mentality. However, after he had painstakingly dealt with the crime scene and sent Xiao Yining back to the Lin family's door, the scene before him made him deeply realize that what the little girl said was true, and it might be even more serious than she said.
He saw his own carriage parked steadily at the gate of the Lin family, and his youngest son Zhang Liangchuan was sitting in the main hall of the Lin family with his little granddaughter waiting for the master to return, with valuable gifts placed beside them.
What made him even more nervous was that his granddaughter's face was clearly covered with traces of tears, and it was obvious that she had just experienced a period of crying.
When the father and son met, the scene was naturally surprising and quite "touching".
Zhang Liangchuan stood up in disbelief, looked at the old man walking beside Wang and Lin and said in panic: "Dad, why are you here?"
"You can come, but I can't?"
Zhang Bufan immediately stood up with his beard and eyes glaring. Then he pointed at his granddaughter Zhang Nishang and shouted, "Every time you come back from the girls' school, you say you are doing great things. You lie all the time and bully others by taking advantage of your power. Where did you learn this bastard style? I will beat you to death!"
Seeing this, Zhang Nishang was so frightened that she hid behind her uncle. Tears instantly overflowed from her already red and swollen eyes, and she sobbed, "Grandfather, Shang'er knows I was wrong."
Zhang Bufan was about to scold him, but was stopped by Lin Yuzan who was standing beside him: "Master Zhang, the child is young and ignorant, just teach him slowly, the most important thing now is business."
Then he explained to Zhang Liangchuan: "I didn't expect Brother Liangchuan to come to visit. Just now, my eldest uncle and his family encountered some problems, so I had to ask Master Zhang to come and deal with it."
"That's really a coincidence!" Zhang Liangchuan nodded in understanding and replied very awkwardly.
He lowered his head and glanced at his little niece lovingly. Seeing her frightened look, he couldn't bear it and changed the subject to her again: "Dad, I have already scolded Nichang just now. She said nonsense and she knows she is wrong."
Seeing this, Lin Yuzan's eyes flashed with helplessness. He looked at Wang Cheng and smiled. He sat on the chair and watched the father and son taking care of the household chores here comfortably.
Zhang Bufan also temporarily put aside the business and asked, "What? Are you still talking nonsense? Who are you talking to? Are you talking to Princess Le'an?"
He suddenly thought of the ignorant words of the little kid just now. He let the cat out of the bag in just a few words, and he was still smug about not letting the cat out of the bag. His heart sank.
He quickly glanced at Wang and Lin, and was about to pull his granddaughter outside for careful questioning.
At this time, he heard his son say to him: "Dad, Brother Wang and Brother Lin also know about this matter, so there is no need to avoid it."
Zhang Bufan: ...
The old man was completely disappointed now, but he still dragged his granddaughter outside stubbornly, leaving the three young men alone in the hall, looking at each other in bewilderment.
Zhang Liangchuan sighed tiredly, bowed deeply to Wang and Lin, and explained in a low voice with an apologetic tone: "I have just asked Nichang carefully. The words she said in the women's school did come from my grandmother's mouth, but they were drunken nonsense and should not be taken seriously. I didn't expect that she would take a few words to heart and say them out loud."
"Drunk talk? I didn't expect that Old Lady Zhang likes to drink. But this matter is harmless. I heard from Aunt Zhao beside Sister Qing that Lady Zheng already knew about this, but she has always been impartial and is not afraid of rumors." Wang Cheng comforted.
Then, he looked at his old rival and used this remark to tease him: "Speaking of which, Shunan is also a drinker, but he is not a strong drinker. He often makes jokes and likes to hug people and reminisce about the past."
Seeing that he was talking about his past scandal, Lin Yuzan rolled his eyes at him in anger and also gave him a reassurance: "Don't worry, brother Liangchuan. I have already told Sister Qing that I will not tell this to the emperor."
Zhang Liangchuan finally felt relieved. Just as he was about to thank her, he heard Lin Yuzan say, "But we are fine now. You still need to take your niece to apologize somewhere else. From what my sister Qing said, it seems that your niece has offended all her classmates."
"What? I've offended everyone!" Zhang Liangchuan stood up again in shock.
Just at this moment, the sound of Zhang Nishang wailing loudly was heard outside, mixed with Zhang Bufan's scolding of disappointment in her performance.
Zhang Liangchuan fell back into his chair dejectedly, and once again showed Lin Yuzan a sticky look for help: "Brother Lin, do you know how my niece was offended? I have a plan in mind."
Lin Yuzan glanced at him lightly, with a hint of gloating: "It's nothing serious, it's just that the little girls in Class B were punished a few times by Princess Anping because of your niece!"
Zhang Liangchuan naturally knew the identities and backgrounds of the girls in Class B. Upon hearing this, he suddenly felt a black screen in front of his eyes, as if the sky had fallen.
In the end, the three generations of Zhang's family walked away in disgrace, covering their faces, and even postponed the important matter of investigating the case to another day.
When Xiao Yining washed away the bad luck and came to the hall, she could hear her father whispering to her uncle: "Uncle, please accompany me to Huichun Tower tonight. This Yanhong incident is too strange. I will not be at peace if I don't investigate it."
"I won't go. If my father finds out, he will stuff women into my bed tomorrow and make me marry the day after tomorrow. If you go and my sister and father break your legs, don't blame me for not warning you." Wang Cheng pushed him away mercilessly and threatened him.
Lin Yuzan: ...
He glanced outside, thought for a moment, and then nodded in compromise: "Well, if the enemy comes, we will fight back. If the water comes, we will block it with earth. Maybe someone is waiting for us to take the bait in Huichun Tower. It is better for us to use static to dynamic. Then you will accompany me to visit Lao San tomorrow. What you said just now made me think of something."
Wang Cheng frowned slightly when he heard this, and said thoughtfully: "You mean..."
However, before he could finish his words, hurried footsteps were heard outside the hall.
Little Yining ran to the entrance of the hall excitedly, first gave a sly smile to the two old men in the room, then shouted at the top of his voice: "Mom, Dad said he wants to go to Huichunlou tonight, Grandpa, just now my uncle said he's waiting for you to find him a wife!"
Lin Yuzan: ...
Wang Cheng: ......
