Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

Although he had had affairs with many maids in the mansion, this young man looked completely different from him. Could this be Zhang Liang's child?

Zhang Liang stuttered, "Madam, are you...are you kidding me?"

"If he is my son, why didn't I know about it before?"

Li, who was well prepared, then repeated to Zhang Liang the reason he had already thought of, and Zhang Liang's expression kept changing.

After a cup of tea.

Zhang Liang said blankly, "Madam, so he is the son of this old man and the maid?"

According to what the lady said just now, the maid in the mansion was raped by him when he was drunk, but she returned to her hometown without being humiliated and gave birth to this handsome man.

In recent years, the maid unfortunately died of illness, and before her death, she asked the young man to come to Luoyang to find her relatives.

This is too unbelievable!

But how could Zhang Liang remember clearly what he did after drinking, especially since more than ten years had passed?

Li raised her eyebrows and said in a tender voice, "What else?"

"You are the son of your own affair, don't you, the Duke, want to acknowledge him?"

Seeing Madam Li's aggressive tone, Zhang Liang's already complicated heart became even more of a mess.

There was silence for a long time.

"call!"

Zhang Liang let out a long sigh.

He turned and waved at the young man, and when he came up to him, he looked him up and down carefully, then said with a complicated expression.

"From now on, you will be my adopted son. Your name will be Zhang Shenji!"

He had a bad fate with a maid, and the child might not even be his. Zhang Liang had no intention of recognizing him as his son.

Treating him as an adopted son is also the most appropriate decision at the moment.

Seeing her lover looking at a loss, Li reminded him with a smile on her face.

"Shenji, why don't you go meet your father quickly?"

The young man named Zhang Shenji by Zhang Liang knelt down and kowtowed regardless of the cold ground after hearing Li's reminder.

"I, Shen Ji, greet my father!"

At this moment, he was both excited and vaguely scared. He was excited because of the huge change in his identity, and he was scared because he was worried that he would be killed if the truth was revealed.

After all, his adoptive father is the Duke of Yun of the current dynasty, and now also holds the important position of Minister of Justice.

Zhang Liang waved his hand, and then spoke without much emotion.

"Get up."

"Thank you, father." Zhang Shenji kowtowed again and then slowly got up.

When he walked back behind Li, he made eye contact with the still charming Li, and both of them showed a meaningful smile on their faces.

At this moment, Zhang Liang's other adopted son Gongsun Jie walked into the hall. He first bowed respectfully to Zhang Liang and Li.

Then he quickly walked to Zhang Liang's side and whispered in his ear.

"Godfather, Zhang Chao and Zhang Yong are here. They are waiting in the front yard."

Hearing that the two rebellious sons were coming, Zhang Liang's tiger eyes suddenly glared at them, and then he spoke in a deep voice with an angry face.

"Take them to the study!"

These adopted sons really give him a lot of worry. They seemed to be well-behaved and sensible before, but as his status became higher and higher, they became more and more arrogant.

If not curbed, I am afraid these adopted sons will bring disaster to themselves.

"As ordered!"

Gongsun Jie responded and then quickly walked out of the lobby.

Zhang Liang also stood up and turned to his wife Li and whispered.

"Ma'am, I'm going to take care of some small matters first, and I'll be with you later."

Li said with an unnatural expression: "Husband, your adopted sons are loyal to you, so don't take your anger out on them."

Hearing his wife's words, Zhang Liang frowned.

He had a vague premonition that the absurd things done by the two rebellious sons were inextricably linked to his wife.

Zhang Liang nodded grimly, then walked quickly towards the study with his hands behind his back.

When Li saw her husband walking out of the hall, she turned around and looked at Zhang Shenzhi coquettishly, then stood up and said with a smile.

"Shen'er, follow your mother to the backyard. Your mother has something to tell you."

As she spoke, she blinked and gave a meaningful smile.

Zhang Shenzhi naturally understood what Li was implying. He nodded with fiery eyes and followed her to the backyard with his head down.

In the study of the Duke of Yun’s mansion.

Zhang Liang, with a gloomy face, looked angrily at the two middle-aged men kneeling on the ground and crying. He couldn't help but clenched his fists and hit the table heavily several times.

"Bang bang bang~"

Every time Zhang Liang struck, the two middle-aged men kneeling on the ground trembled with fear.

On such a cold winter day, a layer of sweat broke out on their foreheads.

Zhang Liang said coldly: "Why do you want to do this?"

"Isn't the power and wealth now enough to satisfy your appetite?"

Hearing their adoptive father's questioning, the two middle-aged men were so scared that they kowtowed and begged for mercy loudly.

"Godfather, we know we were wrong."

"We promise you that we will never dare to do it again next time."

After a long time, when both of them had blood on their foreheads, Zhang Liang finally spoke out with reluctance.

"okay!"

"Hurry up and tell me what you did, and I'll see if I can save you two!"

When the two middle-aged men saw that their adoptive father had softened his heart, they immediately got up from the ground and thanked him profusely and said a lot of nice things.

Afterwards they did not dare to hide anything and each told everything they had done.

The recorder and military officer Zhang Chao raped a woman simply because he was blinded by lust.

Because the man who was engaged to the woman was dissatisfied, he went to Zhang Chao's house many times to cause trouble and was accidentally beaten to death by Zhang Chao's servants.

The man's parents went to the county government to file a complaint to destroy Zhang Chao's reputation, so Zhang Chao, the rebellious son, sent people to beat up the man's family.

I didn't expect that the gang of thugs would be so careless in their attack that they accidentally beat the man to death.

As for the military officer Zhang Yong, he was actually instructed by his wife Li to rob the dyeing workshop of a wealthy businessman who had no deep background.

The actual owner of the dyeing workshop now is Li’s maiden family, the Longxi Li family!

After listening to what they said, Zhang Liang did not say anything, but closed his eyes and thought about a solution.

After nearly half an incense stick of time, Zhang Liang suddenly opened his eyes and said.

"Zhang Chao, send someone to persuade the girl's parents to agree to let them marry you. As for what means to use, you can figure it out yourself!"

"Tomorrow I will summon you to court. You can say that the man tried to force the woman to be his wife but failed, and then threatened her parents."

"You had no choice but to attack that man in order to protect your concubine and her parents!"

"As for the man's parents, just throw the problem to the people who did it and let them take the blame for you!"

Zhang Chao's eyes lit up when he heard his adoptive father's advice.

He clasped his fists in gratitude and said, "Thank you, godfather!"

Zhang Liang shook his head slightly, then turned his gaze to Zhang Yong and said with a fierce look in his eyes.

"Zhang Yong, you blamed the gang of hooligans for occupying the rich businessman's dyeing factory."

"I've raised them for so long, it's time for them to bear this sin for you!"
