[Through the Book] The ancestor only wants to live a long life

Rong Enqing was startled and quickly waved his hand to dismiss the servants in the hall.

Since crossing over, Rong Enqing has never seen Zhang Shi show any big emotional fluctuations. Even when Yun Ye was named Shun'an Hou, Zhang Shi's expression was indifferent.

But now, Zhang just went back to her parents' home, why did she have such a mental breakdown?

Although Rong Enqing was worried yesterday when he learned that the Marquis' Mansion had not received the invitation from the Zhang family, Zhang's return home might not be smooth this time, he did not expect the situation to be like this.

After all, no matter what, Zhang was also the legitimate granddaughter of the Zhang family. She would not be neglected when she returned to her parents' home.

But obviously, things were much worse than she expected.

After Zhang cried for a while, Rong Enqing asked worriedly, "Tell me, what happened? Why did you cry for no reason?"

Zhang cried for a while, venting the grievances in her heart. She suppressed her emotions, wiped her tears, and said apologetically: "I am sorry to have worried mother, but I am fine. I just feel that I failed to protect Fifth Sister today and caused her to suffer injustice in the Zhang family, and I feel guilty and uneasy."

Rong Enqing sighed secretly. Zhang had become the calm, indifferent Zhang who would never make a mistake. It was impossible to find out what happened today from her.

Rong Enqing didn't ask too many questions. He comforted them with a few words and told them to go back and rest.

After seeing Zhang off, Rong Enqing called Meixiang in and asked her to send a maid who was good at talking to find out what happened in the Zhang family today.

At the same time, in the mansion of the second branch of Lin'anfang, Jiang listened to Song's story about what happened in Zhang's house today, and she clapped her hands happily, "It's what she deserves! Who asked that bitch Zhang to give birth to a son to steal my son's title? Today she has really embarrassed herself!

"If I had known there was such a big show today, I should have gone to see it live. Hahahaha, today I feel relieved for once."

As she spoke, Jiang sneered with disdain and said sarcastically, "Oh, I think that having a good family background is not necessarily a big deal."

Jiang had to become Yun Zhen's concubine in her early years because of her poor family background. This was a pain in her heart that she would never be able to get over.

Hearing this, Yun Hao looked at Song beside him worriedly. Seeing that she looked normal, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Song naturally noticed Yunhao's gaze, but she pretended not to know and just listened to Jiang's nonsense quietly.

Jiang, huh! Who are you mocking?

No matter how humiliated Zhang was, she was still a lady from a famous family. Even though she was ridiculed in public today, she always maintained her demeanor and responded calmly. Even though her face was extremely ugly, she never said a bad word, but left gracefully. This made people admire her.

If Jiang encountered such a situation, she would probably have become a shrew and quarreled with others.

Song covered her mouth with a handkerchief to suppress the sarcasm that she couldn't suppress.

A foolish and ignorant woman like Jiang, only a fool like Yun Hao would treat her like a treasure and indulge her in everything. Didn't you see how much the couple of the third room hated their mother?

It has been more than half a month since the move, and he has only come once. And he didn't come for Jiang, but to apologize to her and Yun Hao, and to ask them to help find a job for Yun Jiang.

The next day, as soon as Rong Enqing got up, Meixiang reported to her what she had found out.

Yesterday, the Zhang family held a flower-viewing banquet, and there was a constant stream of traffic in front of the gate of the Zhang mansion.

Before the carriage carrying Zhang and Yun Shu arrived at the gate of Zhang's mansion, a servant of the Zhang family took the initiative to come forward and lead the two of them to enter the mansion through the back door away from the crowd.

After entering the mansion, the two were led to a secluded courtyard.

Zhang was a married girl from the Zhang family, so she naturally knew that this side courtyard could not be a place to entertain guests.

But the servants were respectful and polite, and served them all the tea and snacks they were supposed to have. They just told them to wait there, saying that they would come to see them when the mistress was done.

Zhang didn't suspect anything at first, until the servants brought them lunch separately at noon, then she realized something was wrong.

The banquet started, but no one came to ask them to sit down!

As the married granddaughter of the Zhang family, is she too ashamed to be seen by others?

When Zhang was at home, it was no exaggeration to say that she was the most famous granddaughter in the Zhang family and the one most loved by old tutor Zhang.

But now that I'm back home, I'm treated like this.

Even though Zhang was a calm person, she couldn't help but get furious. She took Yun Shu out of the yard and went straight to the flower hall where the flower banquet was held.

At first, the guests just looked at the two of them, wondering why they arrived so late after the banquet had already started.

Things got out of control afterwards.

Someone asked, why did the people from Shun'an Marquis's Mansion come? If she had known that the people from Shun'an Marquis's Mansion would come, she would not have come. She also said that she was ashamed to be associated with them.

Some people also asked who Yun Shu, who was beside Zhang, was. She was dressed richly, but why did she look less imposing than their maid?

All kinds of discussions, ridicules and sarcasms came one after another.

Faced with this situation, the head of the Zhang family, Zhang's grandmother, Luo, said nothing, but just glanced blankly at Zhang's mother, Wu.

Zhang's mother, Wu, came up and grabbed her to take her out.

Zhang didn't want to embarrass her mother, so she bowed to everyone, said a few polite words, and followed her mother out of the flower hall.

Afterwards, Zhang and Wu avoided others and talked alone for about fifteen minutes. Then, Zhang came back with Yunshu.

The person who was trying to find out the truth had no idea what Zhang and Wu had said in detail.

In addition, the news that was inquired also said that Yunshu cried most of the night. After Zhang returned to Tingzhuyuan, she sorted out her dowry alone all night, and no one knew what she wanted to do.

"Who did you send to get the information? They got it pretty clear."

"Madam, it's Nanshan."

Rong Enqing nodded in satisfaction and ordered, "Reward her two hundred coins."

After learning what happened, Rong Enqing had no idea what to say. After all, Zhang Shi was treated like this in her natal family because of the influence of the Marquis's Mansion.

However, Rong Enqing couldn’t understand the Zhang family’s intention in doing this.

What good would it do for the Zhang family to humiliate their own married granddaughter?

Is it just to draw a clear line between ourselves and Shun'an Marquis Mansion?

However, no matter how the Zhang family drew a line in the sand, they could not deny Zhang's identity as a married woman.

Also, after Yun Hong's death, Zhang was at her most vulnerable and helpless, but Rong Enqing knew from his original memory that since then, no one from the Zhang family had come to the Marquis' Mansion to see Zhang. It was as if there had never been a person like Zhang in the Zhang family.

Why was the Zhang family so determined to treat the Zhang family?

Rong Enqing was puzzled.

Just when Rong Enqing was puzzled, a little maid came in and reported that Aunt Jiang had arrived.

Rong Enqing was surprised, "Why is she here?"

Meixiang paused and guessed, "It is said that the Zhang family's flower banquet yesterday also invited the Second Master."

Rong Enqing suddenly realized that Jiang was trying to make his presence felt.

But Meixiang's words also made Rong Enqing fall into deeper doubts.

He could invite the second branch to a banquet, but he ignored their mansion. He could treat the second branch as a guest of honor, but he embarrassed his own granddaughter in public.

What on earth is this Zhang family thinking?
