The leader of the guards bowed and looked at Zhang Feng with a smile on his face.
"Ahem …"
Zhang Feng deliberately coughed twice and glanced at the mansion. He nodded and said, "Not bad. Go and inform your master."
The servant still had a smile on his face. He stretched out his hand and said, "Young master, my master said that you don't have to report your visit. Just enter the hall."
As he said that, the servant extended his hand and said with a smile, "Young master, please enter the hall."
Zhang Feng didn't want to be so close. After all, they weren't married yet. But since Father Zhang didn't want to be so formal, he didn't have to be either. He strode into the hall.
After entering the hall, the servant served tea and pulled out a chair. He put on a show of hospitality before leaving.
In fact, Zhang Feng wasn't used to this. He was very casual when he was in his own mansion. But when he was in Zhang Mansion, he felt a little restrained. This might be the feeling of a young master visiting his father-in-law's home.
He smiled bitterly and took a sip of tea while waiting for Father Zhang to arrive.
But at this moment, a burst of light footsteps and hearty laughter sounded.
"Hahaha …"
Before the laughter died down, a white-haired man appeared in the hall. It was Zhang Yuyao's father. He went straight to Zhang Feng and said, "Hahaha … Nephew, you're here."
Zhang Feng quickly got up and saluted, "Hello, Uncle Zhang."
"Good, good, good …"
Father Zhang patted Zhang Feng's shoulder and smiled as he pushed Zhang Feng to the seat. "Sit, nephew."
After that, he strode to the main seat and turned to sit down. He then looked at Zhang Feng and smiled. "Nephew, you're here because of the Jiangnan matter, right?"
Although he stayed in the mansion all year round, he still heard about the news outside. For example, the incident with Xuanzang last time. He had specially sent a servant to inquire about it, but there were too many people and even the servant couldn't squeeze in. However, this also meant that this future son-in-law was a hero in the hearts of the people of Chang 'an. If the son-in-law was a hero, then the father-in-law's status would naturally rise. That was why he was happy.
Zhang Feng naturally knew nothing about this. He smiled faintly. "That's right, uncle. I'm here because of the Jiangnan matter. You know that this trip is imperative, but …"
He smiled bitterly. "I'm worried about Yuyao. Although Yuyao and I are engaged, I'm worried about her after she goes to Jiangnan, so …"
He didn't continue because he knew that Mr. Zhang was a smart man. He didn't need to say anything more to understand what he meant.
Sure enough, Father Zhang frowned at first. Then, as if he had figured something out, he laughed loudly. "So that's what you're worried about. If that's the case, you don't have to worry."
This time, it was Zhang Feng's turn to be puzzled. He quickly asked, "Uncle, what do you mean?"
Father Zhang didn't answer. Instead, he beckoned a servant over and whispered a few words in his ear. Then, he smiled and said, "Nephew, you can ask Yuyao when she arrives."
Yuyao?
Zhang Feng instantly understood.
So Yuyao had come to the Zhang mansion.
Since Yuyao had come to the Zhang mansion, she must have told them about the Jiangnan matter. A reasonable person like Mother Zhang should be able to understand, right?
Just as he was thinking, a burst of brisk footsteps sounded. A moment later, a slim and graceful woman stood in the hall. Beside her was an attractive middle-aged woman. It was Zhang Yuyao and her daughter.
Zhang Feng slowly stood up and said softly, "Yuyao?"
Zhang Yuyao didn't know why, but she was especially shy in her own home. When she heard Zhang Feng call her that, her face turned red all the way to her neck. She didn't answer, only bowing slightly in return.
Mother Zhang was familiar with her daughter's temperament. She pulled Zhang Yuyao behind her and reached out her hand. "Prince Zhang, please sit here. We can talk about it after sitting down."
"Thank you, Auntie."
Zhang Feng nodded and returned to his seat. Then, he looked at Mother Zhang and said, "Auntie, I'm sure you know why I'm here this time?"
Mother Zhang nodded slightly and glanced at the shy Zhang Yuyao. Then, her gaze fell on Zhang Feng. She smiled and said, "Of course I know. What about Yuyao in Jiangnan?"
"Auntie is wise."
Zhang Feng cupped his hands and said solemnly, "Auntie, although Yuyao and I are husband and wife in name, we haven't gone through the wedding ceremony. Originally, I didn't plan to take Yuyao to Jiangnan this time because it's really dangerous there. But Yuyao insists on going, so I can only go along with her wishes. But I'm worried that after we go there, people will point fingers at her and the Zhang mansion."
Mother Zhang smiled faintly and turned to Zhang Yuyao. "Daughter, what do you think?"
Zhang Yuyao secretly glanced at Zhang Feng and quickly covered her face with her handkerchief. Then, she looked at Mother Zhang. "Mother, didn't we just discuss it? I must go to Jiangnan with Prince Zhang. "
Mother Zhang smiled bitterly and helplessly. "A grown girl can't be kept at home."
After saying that, he turned to look at Zhang Feng and smiled. "Young Master Zhang, we've just discussed it. Yuyao must go to Jiangnan with us. There's no need to argue about this. As for after Jiangnan, it's your business. There may be some gossip, but I don't think anyone knows about your relationship. It doesn't matter. As for Chang 'an, you have so many good friends. What are you afraid of?"
