After persuading Huangfu You for a long time, he finally calmed her down. If he didn't coax her well, then perhaps he wouldn't be able to take the consequences himself. Although Huangfu Jie seemed straightforward, it would be strange if someone angered him, his only daughter, so he wouldn't go on a rampage. Seeing that Huangfu Youqi was gradually calming down, Wen Zheng once again supported him back to the main hall.
”Agreed?” asked Huang Duan with a chuckle.
”Uh, that, uh, hmph, all right.” Wen Zheng didn't know what to say, so he could only scratch his head and grunt.
”Then let's see if you can leave!” As Huangpu Duan spoke, he made a gesture of invitation towards Wen Zheng. Huangfu Youqi, who was at the side, was also stunned. She stared at her father in puzzlement.
When he finally regained his senses, Wen Zheng bowed to Huang Duan before turning around to leave. After all, being able to become the head of a clan would cause one to have a few strange ailments.
”Father, why did you let him go?” Huangfu Youqi asked as she watched Wen Zheng leave. As for Huang Duan, he only stroked his beard and smiled, not saying anything.
In the inn, Zhu Xing'er paced back and forth. This Wen Zheng had been gone for a long time since morning, and he hadn't returned either. What if he was caught by the Chang Clan and taken away?
However, he was much calmer than Zhu Xing'er. He put on an act and advised, ”Lady Zhu, don't worry. No matter how powerful King Changping and the Chang Clan are, they definitely won't dare to come to Huangfu City to capture people.”
”Then what if they join hands with the Huangfu Family?” Zhu Xing'er asked.
”Ugh …” ”About this …” Legend Liu was at a loss for words.
”That won't happen. The Huangfu family has clan rules that they cannot communicate with the imperial government. So, no matter how much Wen Zheng offends the Huangfu family, they will not join hands with King Changping and the others.” Situ Ya said.
”If we don't join hands with them, then did we have to deal with him alone? ”No, I have to go to Huangfu Clan to take a look!” As Zhu Xing'er spoke, she prepared to charge out. Unexpectedly, because he was in a hurry, he bumped into a person. When he looked up, it was Wen Zheng or someone else.
”What are you all doing? All of their faces turned ugly! Hurry up and give me something to eat. Motherf * cker, the Huangfu family is truly stingy. The old man was complaining to the crowd.
”Brother Zheng, why did you just return? ”But you really worried us to death! Why did you run over to Huangfu Haoyue's house when you had nothing to do?” Zhu Xing'er said.
Hearing Zhu Xing'er's question, Wen Zheng gave her a general idea of what happened, but he didn't mention anything about how Miss Huangfu liked him. He was afraid that Zhu Xing'er would be hurt. Just as he was speaking, a group of soldiers suddenly charged in. The soldiers stood on either side of him and knelt down on one knee before Wen Zheng. They said in unison, ”Greetings, Young Master!”
”AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” Did you find the wrong person? I am not your Young Master! ” At the side, Legend Liu asked.
”Idiot!” The soldier said to Legend Liu in his heart, but did not say a word.
”Haha, son-in-law, why did you come back so quickly? I told you to stay for a few more days.” A burst of laughter rang out from outside the door, yet it was Huang Duan and Huangfu Youqi who appeared before the crowd. Upon seeing Huangfu Youqi, the disdainful expression on Liu Zenith's face was instantly replaced with pleasant surprise. Before anyone could say anything, he kneeled on the ground and said, ”My son-in-law greets father-in-law!”
”Young master, what are you doing?” Seeing the actions of Liu Legend, Huang Duan was slightly stunned, and he asked doubtfully.
”Aren't you here to pick up your son-in-law? I am! ” Liu Ming said arrogantly.
”Cough, that gongzi, I think you've misunderstood. I seem to have come to pick him up!” Looking at the treacherous look in his eyes, Wen Zheng wanted nothing more than to step forward and tear his face apart. This was clearly an incantation; let Wen Zheng come first while he, along with his own family's soldiers, follow behind him. And the target of his visit this time was not Wen Zheng, but Wen Zheng's fiancée, Zhu Xing'er. Like this, if Zhu Xing'er heard what Huangya had said, that by relying on the fact that women were innately jealous, even if they weren't allowed to disperse, they would still be able to create conflicts between them. However, Huang Duan seemed to have underestimated the relationship between Wen Zheng and Zhu Xing'er. A thousand years of love, how could it be formed just like that? Moreover, as a righteous person, there was probably no one who understood him better than Zhu Xing'er.
Wen Zheng looked towards Zhu Xing'er who was beside him. She was currently staring at him, sighing as she said, ”It's fine. Wait for me for a while. I'll explain everything properly to you later tonight!”
