Chapter 1271: Zhang Cheng

~8 min read 1,523 words

The noisy Mansion of the Earl of Loyalty and Valor, the women of the household were chatting in the garden.

Sitting in a seat on the side, Grandmother Jia looked at Lady Jia Liu, who was wearing third-rank official robes, and couldn't help but smile: "Lady Liu, your way of teaching your son is truly extraordinary!"

"Old Ancestor, you praise too much. I haven't helped Jue-ge'er with anything; all of this is what he fought for himself!"

Speaking to the Grandmother Jia before her, Lady Jia Liu laughed.

But hearing Lady Jia Liu's words, Lady Wang on the side said with great jealousy: "That may be so, but if it weren't for the recommendation of our Rong and Ning mansions, your Jue-ge'er might still be a child scholar in Jin Ling? He has been in the capital for so long, and he doesn't even know to come and pay respects to the Old Ancestor..."

Suddenly hearing Lady Wang's words, the Ladies of Honor present all turned their heads, and the scene became silent.

Because was what Lady Wang said human language?

In the past, their Rong and Ning mansions didn't want to send their own clansmen to Liaodong to fight, so they let the twelve branches of Jin Ling provide people. But now that people have achieved merit, you want to claim the credit for the recommendation? How can your face be so big?

Have you ever thought about how many people from the twelve branches of the Jin Ling Jia family went to Liaodong, and how many are still alive now?

Over a hundred Jin Ling clansmen went to the battlefield, but fewer than thirty survived, and most of them were crippled.

And even so, you still have the nerve to say you recommended the Jin Ling Jia family?

If they hadn't considered that they shared an ancestor, they probably would have started by taking a knife to your Jia family the moment they returned to the capital! You still have the nerve to say this; is she crazy?

Grandmother Jia: Big Fool Wang, what are you doing?

Lady Wang: Did I say something wrong?

"This lady's words sound really nice. My Jia family's men were able to go to the battlefield and achieve merit, and I have to thank you? Then what about the clansmen who died in Liaodong? Are they not human?"

Questioning Lady Wang, Lady Jia Wu on the side asked directly, her eyes full of hatred.

One must know, her son Jia Wei was one of the first people selected. If it hadn't been for Uncle Jia Jue protecting them all the way, she and her son would have been separated by heaven and earth long ago!

"Hey, your son has achieved merit now, how can you still blame our Rongguo Mansion!"

Suddenly hearing Lady Jia Wu's words, Lady Wang was immediately shocked.

Because she now found everything about the Jin Ling Jia family unpleasant, especially since Jia Jue was about to take away her brother's influence in the military, and he had even taken Lin Daiyu as a foster daughter and granted her the title of County Lady...

"But was it you who recommended them? It was they who killed their way out with their lives! My Jin Ling men went to Liaodong to not fail the imperial grace, to not fail the Great Gan. You open your mouth and say it's your credit; then were my Jia family's men supposed to die in vain? They also risked their lives!"

Standing up and looking at Lady Wang before her, Lady Jia Wu roared.

"What is your status, to speak to me like this!"

Hearing Lady Jia Wu speak like this, Lady Wang was also furious.

"And what is your status, to speak to my sister-in-law like this!"

Looking at Lady Wang intending to use her status to suppress Lady Jia Wu, Lady Jia Liu couldn't help but scold her.

Looking at Lady Jia Liu's appearance, Lady Wang was unable to breathe and hurriedly looked at Grandmother Jia beside her.

Feeling that the atmosphere was wrong, Grandmother Jia hurriedly came out: "Everyone is a clansman, a clansman, why make such a scene!"

Comforting the emotions of everyone at the scene, Grandmother Jia scolded: "Why don't you shut up!"

"Old Ancestor, daughter-in-law..."

Looking at Grandmother Jia actually helping an outsider, Lady Wang also felt resentful.

And seeing Lady Wang being bullied, Zhou Rui's wife went straight out to find the people from the Wang family.

Eating melon seeds, the other ladies who came to watch the ceremony also hurriedly comforted Lady Jia Liu, telling her not to be too angry, because today was a good day, and she must not ruin her health.

Looking at Lady Wang before her, Lady Jia Liu raised her eyebrows: "My Jin Ling Jia family does not fail the imperial court, because our men never dream of things that only want good results!"

Hearing Lady Jia Liu mocking her, Lady Wang was so angry her face turned green.

Because she had never been scolded like this before!

Coming outside, Zhou Rui's wife found Wang Zisheng, that is, Wang Ziteng's younger brother.

Although Jia Jue and Wang Ziteng were fighting fiercely, at a time like this, the Wang family didn't dare not send someone, because all parties were watching!

Especially the Retired Emperor, who had once "tapped" Zhang Cheng, so Wang Ziteng dared not go against him even more! Otherwise, that would be not giving the Retired Emperor face! And letting Wang Zisheng come was even simpler, just sending someone casually!

Upon learning that his sister, Lady Wang, had been bullied by a woman with no status, Wang Zisheng was also angry: "Does this Jin Ling Jia family not give my Wang family any face at all?"

Saying this, Wang Zisheng hurriedly said: "You go and report it, I will enter immediately!"

Before long, after Zhou Rui's wife returned, Wang Zisheng followed closely behind.

Looking at the arriving Wang Zisheng, quite a few people were surprised, because Lady Wang had just been scolded, and this Wang Zisheng came; was he here to settle the score?

"You ignorant village woman, my sister kindly helped your son turn things around, but you don't know what's good for you. Could it be that you think my Wang family has no one!"

Pointing at Lady Jia Wu and roaring, Wang Zisheng's eyes were full of arrogance.

And just as Wang Zisheng's words finished, a roar came from afar: "You donkey-beast, what did you say about my mother?"

Flying over, Jia Wei raised his foot and kicked Wang Zisheng, sending him flying, then pounced forward, smashing him with heavy fists.

Watching this scene, the women present were all terrified, scattering to avoid them.

"Stop hitting, stop hitting! Quickly come and stop them!"

Watching Wang Zisheng being pressed to the ground, Lady Wang hurriedly shouted.

But this wasn't the Rongguo Mansion, but the Mansion of the Earl of Loyalty and Valor; no one stepped forward at all!

When the noisy sounds inside started, the people outside were also bewildered, not knowing what had happened.

Walking in from outside, Zhang Cheng was wearing a black robe, his eyes full of cold intent.

"Jue-ge'er, Jue-ge'er, tell him to stop hitting. These are all old relatives; if something happens, how can we answer for it!"

Watching Zhang Cheng appear, Grandmother Jia shouted.

"I came out to run, who do I have to answer to!?"

Looking at Grandmother Jia on the side, Zhang Cheng's eyes were full of cold intent: "Drag him out, break his two legs and hands. Daring to run wild on my turf, who do you think you are, Wang Zisheng!"

Following Zhang Cheng's words, Grandmother Jia and Lady Wang on the side were both dumbfounded, because they hadn't expected that Zhang Cheng's murderous intent would be so great.

Although he didn't take Wang Zisheng's life, what was the difference between breaking his hands and feet and being a cripple!

Dragging Wang Zisheng by the hair, Jia Wei's face was also full of anger.

Because although he usually acted like a punching bag, don't forget, their Jia family men were all ruthless people who had walked off the Liaodong battlefield. You can say Jia Wei can't fight, but if you dare to talk about his mother, Lady Jia Wu, then sorry, he wants to fight you with bayonets!

"Someone come, someone come, quickly stop them, quickly stop them!"

Shouting loudly, Lady Wang finally understood what it meant to have trouble come from the mouth.

Hearing the commotion, when Jia She and Jia Zheng arrived and saw Wang Zisheng being dragged away, they were also shocked.

But just as they found out the situation and intended to go up to stop them, they heard shrill screams.

Running out to look, Wang Zisheng was already paralyzed on the ground, life or death unknown, while Jia Wei was ruthlessly throwing a hammer to the side.

Standing beside Jia Wei, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but narrow his eyes: "Pfft, what kind of thing, daring to roar at my sister-in-law!"
