Chapter 50 - Isn’t Your Eldest Grandson at Home? (1/2)

Yuwen Tong kept everyone’s face in his mind with only a quick glance at Ling Family’s gate. He didn’t find anyone of the same age as Ling Zhang. It was clear that Ling Zhang wasn’t here.

Yuwen Tong frowned slightly, and this subtle action was barely noticed by others.

He was surprised to learn of this engagement with the Ling Family. But since the Ling Family wanted to end it, he would not force them to do otherwise. The purpose of his visit to Tanyang was mainly to find a new solution to the problem he might face back to the capital, and he also intended to do Ling Family a favor; another purpose was to probe into the situation of Tanyang at his convenience. On the contrary, he didn’t mind the termination of their marriage contract at all.

But Ling Zhang’s absence left Yuwen Tong with a strange feeling at this moment, a hint of unspeakable and subtle displeasure.

What did Ling Family mean?Were they afraid that he would fall in love with Ling Zhang at first sight and marry him?

Despite all the thoughts in mind, he just kept that cool look.

“Greetings, my lord.” Ling Xingzhong said as he led the rest member of Ling family to pay their respects.

In view of the fact that Yuwen Tong didn’t want to reveal his ident.i.ty, Ling Xingzhong and Ling Zhaowen didn’t honor him as Marshal. They had discussed this matter in advance so as not to ruin Yuwen Tong’s plan.

Yuwen Tong dismounted at once. He came up to Ling Xingzhong and helped him up. “Oh, please, Lord Ling. Let’s not stand on ceremony. As a junior, how can I accept your kneeling.”

“All of you here get up.”

“Thank you, my Lord.” Ling Zhaowen led others to stand up.

Yuwen Tong was not only tall and straight, but also had a powerful aura, which made people feel oppressive. For a moment he was the center of attention. The Ling Family’s servants had never seen anyone with such an imposing temperament. They instantly became quiet, even breathing carefully.

“My lord, your coming from afar is really a pleasure for us. I haven’t been to the Capital for many years. How is your family?” Ling Xingzhong asked.

“Thank you for your regards. Everything is fine,” Yuwen Tong said. “My grandfather mentioned you many times when he was alive. Your kindness to our family will always be in my mind.”
