Zhang Wan has thought over the whole matter countless times these days, and has already formed her own opinion. No matter how much Lin Junting persuades her, she can't listen.

"I know these things better than you." After Lin Junting said it twice, Zhang Wan was still a little impatient, "I don't need you to teach me how to do it."

"But you, you are so old, why haven't you married yet?"

"Gu Zhaodu has become the queen, aren't there any efforts to choose a noble girl with outstanding talents and extraordinary life experience for you?" Zhang Wan frowned, "I know that she is used to doing superficial things, but in her heart she has no

I don’t get close to my own family.”

"Now that the direct line of the Lin family has withered, it is your top priority to get married and have children as soon as possible and spread your branches. Doesn't she always pride herself on being smart? Why didn't she think of this..."

Zhang Wan kept talking, and Lin Junting's face was so dark that he couldn't look at it. "Mother, how come you can blame the queen for everything? I don't want to get a wife, so what does it have to do with the queen?"

As soon as he returned to the capital, he first went to Laojun Temple, the most famous temple in the suburbs of Beijing, and performed rituals for the deceased members of the Lin family and Chu Xianyu. He also lit an evergreen lantern specifically for Chu Xianyu and asked Taoist ancestors to bless her with wealth and peace in the next life.

When Chu Xianyu was alive, he never cherished it, and sometimes he even disliked it because he always had to accompany Chu Xianyu on travels, and he couldn't go horse racing and fight cocks, and he didn't have enough fun;

But when Chu Xianyu died in his arms, Lin Junting knew what it meant to be unforgettable...

Now that he is considered to be in a high and powerful position, there are naturally many people who are trying to propose marriage to him, but he still cannot forget Chu Xianyu's face and cannot accept other women at all.

It was obvious that he didn't want to, so why did Gu Zhao not care about his marriage?

Lin Junting looked deeply at Zhang Wan. The woman in front of him was so old that she was completely different from the former Mrs. Li Guogong. However, from the beginning to the end, her hostility towards Gu Zhao had never changed.

He really didn't understand why, since Zhang Wan knew that Gu Zhao was her biological daughter, she didn't have any affection between mother and daughter. Instead, she opposed Gu Zhao in everything. No matter what Gu Zhao did, she didn't like it.

"Forget it, forget it, this kind of thing has nothing to do with you men." Zhang Wan waved her hand and found a seat to sit down, feeling a little short of breath. "Since I have come back, I guess there will be a decree to declare me as the king tomorrow."

Palace, I will talk to Gu Zhao face to face then."

"I don't believe it. I'm sitting in front of her, and she dares not to take it seriously and choose some girls from good families for you."

Zhang Wan thought to herself that the situation was under control, but she did not expect that after waiting for several days, no edict came down. It was as if Gu Zhao suddenly thought of her one day and casually issued an edict to bring her back, but then forgot about her.

It's like being outside the sky.

"This shouldn't be the case." Zhang Wan was thinking hard at home, "I have never heard that the Queen's parents are just common people and there is no reason to reward them."

"If anyone sees this, they will doubt that Gu Zhaosheng is no longer favored. There will inevitably be some sharp-sighted people who want to choose a beautiful girl from the family to enter the palace to compete for favor. Is Gu Zhao stupid? If a woman's family does not have the support of a powerful natal family,

, but you will suffer a big loss."

Zhang Wan couldn't figure it out, she just felt that something was beyond her expectation and something wasn't quite right.

This feeling was confirmed after she heard about the identity of the new owner of the opposite door.

Although the courtyard opposite is not as spacious and grand as Lin Junting's house, it is still quite exquisite.

It's just that the new owner's family doesn't fit in with the yard. One of the old couple has a sinister look on their face, the other has a stupid look on their face. The son, daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law also have a shady and petty attitude.

Just by looking at their clothes, you can tell how poor they are and how they can never afford such a house.

Zhang Wan had only met him once and laughed at him in her heart, but she didn't expect that she accidentally heard the maid talking about it and found out that the surname was Gu from the opposite family - Gu Zhao.

It turned out to be Gu Zhao’s adoptive parents’ family in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River!

"How can they afford such a house?" Zhang Wan felt the crisis and took advantage of Lin Junting's return to call him over and ask.

Lin Junting replied calmly, "Of course it was a reward from the Queen."

Zhang Wan exclaimed, "Didn't she say that she suffered a lot in the Gu family and almost died at the worst time? Didn't the Gu family already know that she was not their own daughter and abuse her everywhere? She is now prosperous.

, shouldn’t everyone in the Gu family be killed? Why..."

Under Lin Junting's silent gaze, Zhang Wan's voice gradually became quieter.

"It turns out that mother knows." Lin Junting waited for her to shut up before asking calmly, "In that case, why didn't you go and take your sister back?"

Zhang Wan lowered his head, but immediately raised it again, and said angrily, "It's easy to take it back, but after taking it back, under what name will it be placed in the house?"

Lin Junting frowned, "Of course I want to announce it to the world, letting everyone know that she is my biological sister, your biological daughter, and the true eldest daughter of the Duke's mansion."

"Haha, you put it lightly! Have you forgotten how difficult it was for you and my mother and son in the Duke's Mansion at that time? Thanks to Xuerong's well-behaved and intelligent nature, and the favor of the prince, we were able to gain a foothold!"
