Xiao Zheng had never explained the matter of Dong Zang to outsiders. And in the eyes of most people, Dong Zang's death was inextricably linked to him. Now that even Lord Ye was questioning him about this matter, he was clearly unhappy.
Seeing that the old man was really angry, Ye Canghua hurriedly said, "Although Xiao Zheng was involved in this matter, he was not the leader. Old man, don't vent your anger on Xiao Zheng. "
Lin Huayin, who had always helped her relatives but not reason, did not say anything this time. She just quietly ate her lunch. Her expression was as usual.
If it was Lin Laoyao scolding, Lin Huayin would definitely not be able to sit still. But she pretended not to hear Lord Ye's complaints. There was no other reason. Lord Ye's starting point was definitely for the good of Xiao Zheng.
Honest words were unpleasant to the ear. If Lin Huayin did not even have this bit of tolerance. She would not be able to make Xiao Zheng what he was today.
"Did I allow you to speak?" Lord Ye glared at Ye Canghua who was asking for trouble. "Can't rice stop your mouth?"
Hearing this, Ye Canghua hurriedly retracted her neck and obediently shut her mouth.
After scolding Ye Canghua, Lord Ye turned his gaze and stared at Xiao Zheng and said, "Xiao Zheng, you speak."
Hearing this, Xiao Zheng also put down his bowl and chopsticks. Although his attitude was proper, his words were simple and crude, "I have nothing to say."
Hearing this, Lord Ye sneered, "Oh? Nothing to say? "
"Yes." Xiao Zheng nodded. He smiled and said. "You already think that I did something wrong. It's useless for me to say anything more."
How could Lord Ye not know what was going on? Would he listen to the words of others and believe that he killed Dong Zang? Since he wouldn't, why was Lord Ye still so angry?
Xiao Zheng knew that there must be a reason for Lord Ye's actions.
So he knew that the only thing he could do now was to admit his mistake. That was to admit defeat. Otherwise, Lord Ye would definitely continue to nag him endlessly...
"Brat. You have a stubborn temper. "Lord Ye snorted. He flicked his sleeves and left the table. He went straight upstairs.
As soon as the old man left, everyone at the table looked at each other. Especially Ye Canghua, she gestured for Xiao Zheng to follow. Xiao Zheng smiled and shrugged. "Let's eat first. Don't waste Aunt's kindness. "
Tang Yue rolled his eyes and teased, "My kind intentions are nothing. If I make the Old Master unhappy, why don't you tell me? Your uncle and I don't have a good life. "
Lin Huayin picked up a piece of braised pork and put it into Xiao Zheng's bowl. She said indifferently, "Eat."
"Hey." Xiao Zheng beamed. "Thank you, wife."
When Ye Cang Hua and the other two saw this, they immediately laughed in anger.
The Old Master's prestige in the Ye Residence was so great that he could kill anyone who stood in his way. Anyone who dared to talk back to him would be committing treason. All these years, aside from Ye Fenghuang, no one had dared to challenge the old man at the dining table. Xiao Zheng was usually a master who respected the old and cherished the young. What was wrong with him today? The Old Master was angry, but he didn't react at all. He ate and drank as if nothing had happened.
There was a mystery behind this.
After eating and drinking to his heart's content, Xiao Zheng took an unused plate and filled it with half of the rice and some vegetables. Finally, he picked up a bottle of Maotai and said slowly, "You guys take your time. I'll send the food to the old man."
Seeing that Xiao Zheng was still sensible, Ye Canghua heaved a sigh of relief. Otherwise, he could only send Tang Yue to deliver the food. At this time, he didn't dare to offend the Old Master.
"What is this kid planning?" Ye Canghua lit a cigarette and looked at Lin Huayin with a strange expression.
On the other hand, Lin Huayin took a sip of tea. "If you're curious, why don't you go up and eavesdrop?"
Ye Canghua glared at Lin Huayin. "How can you talk to your uncle like that? Impudent! "
…
The Old Master's study was always so antique. Behind the desk, there was a painting made by a famous artist. The words "Upright and Pure" were like the sword of Damocles hanging above the head of the demons and monsters.
The Old Master stood with his hands behind his back. His eyes were like torches as he glanced at the words. His expression was resolute and calm.
"Old Master, if you're angry, eat first." Xiao Zheng walked around the desk, put the food on the table, and poured a glass of wine for the Old Master. He smiled.
Lord Ye stared at the four characters without moving an inch, not saying a word.
Xiao Zheng rubbed his hands together and smiled awkwardly. "Are you really angry?"
Hearing this, the Old Master turned his head slightly and looked at Xiao Zheng. "Can you promise me not to fight with them?"
"With who?" Xiao Zheng didn't show much doubt. Instead, he said calmly.
He knew that the Old Master had something difficult to say. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so uncharacteristically angry.
The reason why the Old Master was angry was not because of Dong Zang, but because of the possible risks behind it.
"The enemies you're facing," the Old Master pursed his lips and said. He slowly sat down on the chair. Then he picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp. His eyes were filled with infinite melancholy.
"I don't have enemies," Xiao Zheng sat opposite the Old Master and said with a calm expression. "Only competitors."
"As long as people are alive, there will inevitably be competition. Unless I'm like my mother-in-law and become a monk and live in seclusion in Feng Ming Mountain, "Xiao Zheng said with a serious face. "Old Master. Do you have the heart to let me live like a coward? "
When Lord Ye heard this, he glared at Xiao Zheng angrily. He took out a pack of cigarettes and lit one. "You don't understand. You don't know what happened. You don't know what you're facing. I asked you to quit for your own good. I want you and Voiceover to have a good life. "
"The children will have their own happiness," Xiao Zheng comforted. "You don't have to worry too much. We'll find a way to solve the predicament. "
"But I don't want the children to pay their father's debt …" the Old Master murmured as he took a drag of the cigarette. "Xiao Zheng. Yan Shichang should have mentioned it to you. You also know what happened to Hua Xia back then. But what I want to tell you is that this Dong Zang. Or this Qiu Shou. It's very likely that they're the descendants of that old friend from back then, and they're here to take our lives! "
Hearing this, Xiao Zheng's heart suddenly trembled. His expression also became slightly complicated.
Dong Zang and Qiu Shou, could they be the descendants of that mythical figure, Zhao Changfeng?
If there's a day of triumph in the future, it's because I'm making a comeback.
The descendants of the Zhao family are really back?
They're back to seek revenge against their old enemy? They're here to take their lives?
Since the Old Master was so sure, it must be at least eighty percent true.
"Old Master. Can you confirm it? "Xiao Zheng asked with narrowed eyes. "Qiu Shou and Dong Zang are the descendants of the Zhao family?"
"Yan Shichang also has this suspicion." The Old Master poured a second cup of wine and drank it in one gulp. "But I'm not too sure."
"But — besides being the descendants of the Zhao family, who else could they be?" The Old Master let out a turbid breath and said slowly. "I've waited for most of my life, and they're finally here. Not too early, not too late, exactly fifty years. "
