Chapter 579 Thunderous Means
What kind of person is Zhang Chen? Why would he waste his time with these minions?
One drop of blood of the Son of God is enough to solve all problems.

"Wait! Don't do anything!" The leading guard said quickly after being possessed by the Blood God.

The other two guards were stunned and stopped their movements in time. One of them asked in surprise: "Captain Lai, you...?"

The leading guard, Leader Lai, said sternly, "I think this young master has a very extraordinary bearing. We should not act rashly. I will go back and report to the chief steward, and then ask the Grand Madam to make the decision."

After saying this, the leader said to Zhang Chen, "Sir, please wait here for a moment. I will be back soon."

Zhang Chen, the Blood God, had secretly controlled him at this time and knew his identity. He was called Lai San, the grandson of Lai Changrong, the chief steward of the mansion.

Manager Lai rushed into the entrance hall and muttered to the doorman. The doorman walked out of the gatehouse, glanced at Zhang Chen from a distance, and then walked up to him and said, "Sir, you said he is my cousin from the Shen family?"

"It's me!" Zhang Chen said.

"But I don't know where you came from?" The steward asked, but felt it was impolite, so he quickly explained: "We will inform the master later. If the master asks, we can have an explanation."

Hearing this, Zhang Chen nodded and said, "My father's name is Zhang Kecheng! I have an engagement with your eldest daughter of the Shen family. Just tell her when you go in."

As Zhang Chen was speaking, another drop of Blood God flew out and landed on the body of the manager, controlling him.

Seeing Zhang Chen's solemn promise, the steward did not dare to neglect him and quickly bowed and said, "It is my cousin! I am Lai Changrong, the old servant. Please wait here for a moment, my cousin. I will go and inform my grandmother, the steward."

After saying this, Lai Changrong quickly walked into the small door, then went all the way to the backyard. After some notifications, he met the mistress of the house: Wang Xifeng.

The woman was dressed gorgeously, with an extraordinary grace, like a goddess in heaven. She wore a coral and seven-treasure bun on her head, and a golden phoenix hairpin with pearls in her hair; a pearl necklace was wrapped around her neck; she wore a light pink brocade shirt with narrow sleeves and a moon-white brocade cloak with cranes; and a lake green silk skirt with gold-sprinkled floral patterns. She had a pair of almond-shaped eyes with affection, two crescent-shaped eyebrows, a light body, and a graceful demeanor. Her jade-like face was soft and charming with a smile, and her red lips were fragrant before she moved.

At this time, he was counting the accounts in the room, with three maids standing on each side. The only sound in the room was the clattering of abacus beads. The slender jade fingers moved the abacus beads, causing phantoms to appear.

"Grandma Zhen, there is a young man outside the door. He said he is an old relative of the Shen family and came to visit." After Lai Changrong entered the house, he knelt on the ground and reported respectfully.

The sound of abacus beads continued, and the woman said without even looking up: "Which relative is this coming to beg for food?"

"He said his father's name was Zhang Kecheng, and he was the old ancestor's grandson." Lai Changrong said.

The sound of the abacus beads suddenly stopped, like a sudden stop of a rainstorm. Wang Xifeng suddenly raised her head: "Zhang Kecheng's son?"

"Maybe you know him, Grandma?" Lai Changrong asked in surprise.

But Wang Xifeng said, "He is the husband of our eldest lady."

Lai Changrong was shocked when he heard this. Everyone in the mansion knew about the eldest lady. When the eldest lady was still married, the wives, housekeepers, wet nurses, and aunts were all set rules by the eldest lady.

Therefore, there is only one person in the mansion who can be called 'that young lady' by everyone!
"I will go and inform the old lady, you go and invite the person into the mansion as soon as possible." Wang Xifeng said.

"Do you want to verify it?" Lai Changrong looked hesitant when he heard this.

"Who dares to lie about this!" Wang Xifeng disagreed: "Besides, the power of blood cannot deceive anyone. The other party is the blood of that young lady, and there are always similarities between their eyebrows. Besides, identity verification is not difficult. Back then, the young lady left a secret in the mansion, and only the young lady's son could solve it. Now that the other party is here, the secret should be revealed. When the time comes, we will know whether it is true or not after verification."

Hearing this, Lai Changrong did not dare to delay and quickly turned around and walked out.

Watching Lai Changrong's departing back, Wang Xifeng put away the abacus beads, with a strange look in her eyes: "This is going to be interesting. The creditor has come to our door, but I don't know how those gentlemen will deal with it."

Wang Xifeng stood up, walked through countless corridors, and came to a large mansion. From afar, she heard a woman's laughter. Wang Xifeng walked quickly to the door, gave instructions to the servant, and then walked into the house.

Zhang Chen and his family were standing outside the door waiting, thinking about their journey, the attitude of the nobleman of the Shen family on the boat, and the attitude of Zhang Gaoqiu who had just left, and they looked thoughtful.

After a while, the side door suddenly opened, and the chief steward Lai Changrong led a dozen servants and walked out quickly from the door: "Thank you for waiting for me, young master. I am Lai Changrong, and we are here to pick you up as ordered."

Zhang Chen glanced at Lai Changrong, then looked at the open corner doors on both sides, and nodded: "Let's go!"

He remembered that when he read Dream of the Red Chamber in his previous life, Daiyu entered the Rongguo Mansion through the left and right corner gates. To be honest, some people think that Daiyu went through the corner gates because the Jia family did not value her. That is ignorant talk. The real main gate is not open on weekdays. It is only opened when receiving imperial edicts or when the emperor's relatives are visiting. "My cousin, the main gate is not open for carriages and horses. You have to enter through the back door." Lai Changrong said while looking at the carriage road.

The threshold of the gate is as high as the knees, how can a carriage pass through?
Zhang Chen said to the horse and cart dealer, "Please wait a little longer. I'll add 100 coins for each hour."

Then he said to the people in the car: "Little brothers and sisters, hurry up and get out of the car."

She saw her younger brother, younger sister and Cheng Yu quickly get off the car. Zhang looked towards the majestic gate of the mansion with a hint of inferiority in her eyes and she lowered her body a little.

Zhang Chen did not try to persuade or enlighten her, as he knew it was useless.

The family walked into the mansion, and the chief steward Lai Changrong led the way in front: "My cousin, the old lady has instructed us to settle your family down first, and then arrange a meeting after initially verifying your identities."

Zhang Chen nodded, his face calm and expressionless: "Thank you for your help, Manager Lai."

The family was led by the steward Lai and stepped into the majestic ceremonial gate. They saw the corridors on both sides, which were very impressive. In the middle was a spacious hall, in which stood a large screen with carved flowers, birds, fish and insects inlaid with mother-of-pearl. Behind the screen, there was a spacious five-room hall, and behind the hall was the square inner courtyard. The seven upper rooms in the front were carved with beams and embroidered pillars, which were very impressive. The corridors on both sides connected the side rooms, and under the eaves hung colorful parrots, canaries and other rare birds, singing melodiously and pleasantly.

They passed through layers of gardens and came to a remote courtyard. Lai Changrong said, "This courtyard is called Lixiang Garden. It was the courtyard where the eldest lady lived before she got married."

Zhang Taowei, who was standing by, had tears in his eyes when he heard this: "Is this the yard my mother lived in before she got married? Did my mother live here before she got married?"

Lai Changrong said: "My cousin, that's exactly what happened."

The family walked into Lixiang Garden and saw that the yard was arranged in a quadrangle layout with more than a dozen rooms and a patio, which looked quite simple.

At this time, maids and old women brought bedding, and the family settled down in Lixiang Garden. However, Zhang Chen was thinking about the Shen family's intentions.

"They arranged me in Lixiang Garden. Logically, they should have recognized my identity, but they didn't meet me right away. There must be many reasons behind this." Zhang Chen stood in the courtyard, looking at the banana tree, his eyes full of wisdom: "Is it because of our criminal identity?"

Zhang Chen didn't have to wait long before a handsome man with extraordinary bearing walked into the yard. He was stunned when he saw Zhang Chen, and then hurriedly said, "It's indeed Zhang Kecheng's son. The appearance is 50% similar. Your eyebrows and eyes are 30% similar to my sister."

"Who are you?" Zhang Chen asked.

"You can call me second uncle. Your mother and I are born of the same mother. When your mother was alive, she took the best care of me. I just never thought that this separation would be forever!" There were tears in the middle-aged man's eyes.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen immediately raised his hand and saluted: "Greetings, Second Uncle!"

Then he shouted to the house, "Little brothers and sisters, come and greet your second uncle."

Zhang Taowei ran out excitedly, but Zhang Fei had a timid expression on his face and walked slowly and hesitantly.

"I only heard that the girl has two children. Who is this?" Shen Xu looked at Zhang Fei.

"He is my stepmother's child. He is just like my biological brother. We grew up together and shared joys and sorrows." Zhang Chen picked up Zhang Fei, his face full of doting: "This is my biological brother!"

Then he said to Zhang who came out, "This is my second mother, also Zhang Fei's mother. My younger sister and I were able to survive in the northland because of your support. In the past, my father was killed by people sent by King Pingbian, and my family of three almost starved to death. It was all thanks to your second mother that we were able to survive until our bloodline awakened."

Hearing this, Shen Xu hurriedly bowed solemnly: "Shen Xu greets Madam."

Zhang was a little flustered and gave a hasty greeting: "Hello, Second Master."

"Since you are here, Madam, please treat this place as your own home. If you need anything in the future, just tell me." Jia Xu patted his chest and promised, "In the future, Madam, I will make sure you have endless wealth and glory."

The two sides exchanged pleasantries and then sat down. Shen Xu hugged Zhang Taowei with a look of fondness on his face. Zhang Chen said, "Second uncle, do you want to check our bloodline?"

After hearing Zhang Chen's words, Shen Xu looked Zhang Chen and Zhang Tao up and down, and then said: "There are countless mysterious techniques in this world. If you are not careful, you will be tricked. We have to check whether you have been possessed by others. This is in accordance with the rules."
