After I stopped being a lady from a rich family, I fought all over the capital

Chapter 30 Zhang Family
Zhang Laoer, who was standing next to him, looked at his father's expression, pondered for a moment, and laughed twice: "If you ask me, this matter really can't be entirely blamed on Song Lan."

He glanced at his eldest brother and laughed softly: "If you want to blame someone, you should blame that bastard Zhang Chi!"

The word "bastard" instantly earned Zhang Da's glare.

Now, everyone in the Zhang family knows that Zhang Chi is not Zhang Da’s biological son, but a lowly embryo that was swapped.

Even though he knew it, it was normal for Zhang Laoer to say this.

Zhang Da still felt very uncomfortable.

After all, he knew very well whether Zhang Chi was his biological son or not.

At this time, Zhang Chi was called a bastard, so wasn't he being scolded as well?
But at this moment, he had to swallow his bitterness and couldn't say anything.

He could only hold back his anger, his eyes sharp as ice as he glared at Zhang Lao Er.

Zhang Lao Er didn't care and continued to criticize Zhang Chi: "Since he has long been dissatisfied with the marriage with Song Lan, he could have informed the elders and canceled the engagement in a dignified manner."

"Anyway, he's not the only young man in the Zhang family who hasn't married yet."

"If he doesn't want to marry Song Lan, he can just give her to Man Ge'er!"

Zhang Man is the legitimate son of the second branch of the Zhang family. He is the same age as Zhang Chi, only two months younger.

Zhang Laoer had long been dissatisfied with his father for always giving priority to the first wife whenever there was anything good going on, leaving the second wife to the side.

Now that they have the opportunity, they will naturally spare no effort to add insult to injury.

"Man Ge'er is a very smart and sensible child. You, Dad, raised him by your side, so you should know this better."

"If Song Lan had been betrothed to Man'er earlier, that bastard wouldn't have caused such a big mess!"

Zhang Lao Er snorted coldly: "Fortunately, we discovered the identity of this bastard in time, otherwise our Zhang family would have been implicated by him!"

"He ran to poison the Princess's Spring Banquet. How many heads does he have?"

Zhang Laoer glanced at his father's expression and when he saw that he was not angry, he immediately added fuel to the fire: "I think he has been harboring evil intentions and wants to kill our whole family! I don't know how my eldest brother raised his child to have raised such an idiot..." Patriarch Zhang glanced at him.

Although he didn't say anything, it made people afraid to go any further and they quickly changed the subject.

"If you ask me, it's perfectly normal for Song Lan to feel resentful!"

"Anyone who encounters this kind of reputation-destroying frame-up would hate it to the core, right?"

"Song Lan waited until the next day to send me a letter of withdrawal of the engagement, expressing her dissatisfaction."

"According to my son, this is already a great honor for our family!"

Zhang Lao Er brushed off the non-existent dust on his body and chuckled, seeming to agree with what Song Lan did: "It's still so low-key to find someone to send it here. I guess in his heart, he doesn't really want to break off the engagement with our family, but he really despises that bastard Zhang Chi."

He chuckled twice: "Besides, Zhang Chi has already been imprisoned. Everyone knows that he has offended the princess, and he will definitely not have a good ending."

"If she doesn't break off the engagement, won't her whole life be wasted?"

"But this may not be what Miss Song Lan really wants."

Patriarch Zhang frowned and looked at his second son.

"The Song family was just a merchant family in the past. Even if they had a third-rank official, he didn't live long. To the family, he was just a flash in the pan. When a person dies, it's like a light going out. He can no longer be considered a foundation."

"Song Lan still has a chance to marry into a wealthy family like our Zhang family and become a young lady. How could she give up so easily?"

Patriarch Zhang raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "What do you mean?"

"My son thinks that it's not that Miss Song Lan doesn't want to marry into the Zhang family anymore, but she has to make long-term plans for the rest of her life. She's reluctantly canceling the engagement, but in fact, she wants you to make your attitude clear!"

Patriarch Zhang straightened up and looked directly at his second son: "Oh? What do you mean?"
