After leaving the military camp, Liu Zhang did not choose to escape and went directly to his father Liu Yan's Zongzheng Mansion.
Standing outside the gate of Zongzheng Mansion, Liu Zhang's heart calmed down.
What should come will always come, and what you should face will never be escaped.
How do you say something about future generations?
Deep affection is always betrayed, only thin affection is chased!
Why don’t I have the potential to be Neptune?
Thinking of this, Liu Zhang couldn't help but smile, envious of those 'great gods' who passed through thousands of flowers without even touching them!
"Master?"
The sound coming from the mansion interrupted Liu Zhang's thoughts.
Liu Zhang came to his senses and found out that he was the housekeeper of the house.
"Butler Liu, is there something wrong?"
"Master, why don't you come in?"
Liu Zhang was stunned for a moment before he realized that the housekeeper was confused about him standing outside the door.
"Ah, I just got here and haven't had time to go in yet."
"Master, please come in."
The housekeeper quickly turned aside and invited Liu Zhang to enter the house.
"Butler, help me get a jar of strong wine and deliver it to Cai Yan's door."
After Liu Zhang finished speaking, he walked directly inside.
"Master!"
Liu Zhang frowned and looked back at the housekeeper who called him.
"What's wrong?"
The housekeeper walked quickly to Liu Zhang, lay down and whispered in Liu Zhang's ear.
"Master, Master Xun came here this morning. He asked Miss Cai Yan directly."
"Xun Zhubo? Xun You?"
Liu Zhang looked confused. Xun You had eaten with him in the morning, so why did he come to see Cai Yan?
"Yes, I took Xun Zhubo there. Xun Zhubo probably stayed for more than an hour."
Why is Xun You looking for Cai Yan?
Liu Zhang couldn't figure it out. Could it be that the wedding was coming soon? But these were not Xun You's doings. His father Liu Yan had already taken care of them.
Wait, that’s not right!
Liu Zhang suddenly remembered the scene in the morning when Xun You was dragged out by Jia Xu, and then recalled what Jia Xu said to him. After that, Jia Xu left and returned, and Xun You came to see Cai Yan...
"broken!"
Liu Zhang knew what Xun You was doing here, he must have come to show off with Cai Yan!
"Master? What's wrong with you? Master!"
Liu Zhang ignored the housekeeper's shouts from behind and ran directly to Cai Yan's yard.
It was originally a long distance, but due to Liu Zhang's anxiety, it didn't take long to reach it.
Liu Zhang didn't care much, just opened the door and ran to Cai Yan's house.
"Yan'er! Yan'er!"
No matter how Liu Zhang shouted or knocked on the door, there was no movement inside.
How to do how to do!
Sweat soaked Liu Zhang's whole body in an instant. He panicked. Liu Zhang couldn't imagine what he would do if Cai Yan disappeared!
Gongda! You killed me!
"Yan'er, are you in there? Don't scare me!"
"Yan'er, can you please say something quickly?"
After shouting for a long time, Cai Yan's voice still didn't come from the house. Liu Zhang didn't care much and directly raised his fist to smash the door.
"stop!"
A childish voice interrupted Liu Zhang, and it turned out to be Cai Ling walking out from the side.
"Linger, where is your sister? Where is she?"
Liu Zhang seemed to have found a savior and ran directly to Cai Ling.
Cai Ling looked at Liu Zhang with a straight face and an angry look.
"Liu Zhang! Do you think my sister is easy to bully? You sent people to make trouble in the morning, and now in the middle of the night, you want to break down my sister's door again?"
It's over, there was a fierce conflict in the morning, and Xun You might have said something else!
Liu Zhang's heart became even colder. Cai Ling had this attitude, so there was no need to think about Cai Yan!
If you want to be kind today, I'm afraid it will be difficult!
"Ling'er, listen to my explanation!"
"I won't listen!"
"Who stopped my sister on the way and swore that she would never marry anyone but her and that she would always love him? And who made such a ridiculous promise in front of my father!"
Although Cai Ling was young, she was very thoughtful with every word she asked, leaving Liu Zhang speechless.
"At the beginning, you said you refused His Majesty's marriage proposal for the sake of my sister. But now that your marriage is approaching, why do you suddenly want to marry the princess? What do you think of my sister?"
Liu Zhang raised his head and closed his eyes helplessly. He was full of words, but now he couldn't say a single word!
Cai Ling is right, everything is her own problem and everything is her own fault.
"Hey! Ling'er, I know you won't believe anything I say now. But I really have no choice!"
"In the eyes of outsiders, I am a general in the rear, with a heavy army in hand, and it is the time when the spring breeze is triumphant. But in fact, now I am licking blood on the tip of a knife, walking on thin ice! I don't know how many people want to tear me into pieces!"
Cai Ling snorted, obviously she was not convinced by these words.
"Liu Zhang! In order to protect yourself, you can turn my sister from your wife into a concubine this time. If you want to survive next time, you can sell my sister!"
"No! I absolutely won't!"
Liu Zhang's eyes widened, he glared at Cai Ling angrily, and screamed.
"Everything I did was to protect her!"
"I am not just representing myself now! I also have relatives, brothers, and even you! How many people are there in the Hou General's Mansion? My father and brother are all officials in the court, and I have ten thousand soldiers under my command!"
"I, Liu Zhang, have only one life. If I die, I will die. I don't care! But do you know that maybe because of my selfishness, how many innocent people will lose their lives!"
"Now I can no longer do something willfully, I must take the overall situation into consideration!"
"But please believe me, everything I do is to better protect Yan'er! Whether she is my wife or my concubine, she is the person I love most! This will always be the case.
It won’t change!”
After hearing Liu Zhang's heartfelt words, Cai Ling was not as excited as she was at first, but she still had no intention of letting Liu Zhang go easily.
"You said it nicely, but who knows if marrying a princess will make me neglect my sister!"
When Liu Zhang saw Cai Ling here, his heart was already half at ease. Cai Yan definitely did not leave without saying goodbye. Now Cai Yan in the room can definitely hear what he said! With Cai Yan's knowledge and reason, he will definitely not mess around!
"Sister Ling'er, princess, for me, it is more important to gain your majesty's trust! I am now being cared about by He Jin and the Yuan family. Without your majesty's support, my life will be in danger soon!"
Liu Zhang didn't know if Cai Ling could understand what he said, but he was mostly talking to Cai Yan in the room.
Cai Ling's eyes kept moving around, and she must still be thinking about how to make things difficult for Liu Zhang.
"Then what will you do if the princess bullies my sister from now on? Who are you going to help?"
Hearing Cai Ling ask this, Liu Zhang's heart dropped to his stomach.
Cai Yan must have been convinced by Xun You! Otherwise, Cai Ling would not have changed her attitude so quickly!
"Of course I am attracted to Yan'er, but although Her Royal Highness the Princess is spoiled, from what I can see, she is definitely not an unreasonable person! I believe she and Yan'er will definitely become good sisters!"
Liu Zhang thought he would pass Cai Ling right away, but he didn't expect Cai Ling to explode immediately after saying this!
"Huh! You Liu Zhang, you've just met the princess a few times and you're talking to her like this! If you marry her in the future, won't you think less of my sister!"
