After our homes were confiscated and we were exiled, the women in my clan and I raised a million sol

Not long after, Zhang Liang, Qin Youlan and others sat in front of the dining table. Then Zhang Liang picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

Looking at Zhang Liang's wolfing down of food, Qin Youlan and the others knew that Zhang Liang was really hungry.

Zhao Ruoruo picked up the chopsticks and picked up some food for Zhang Liang.

After seeing this scene, Zhang Liang smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you don't have to be so polite. I can do it myself."

After hearing his words, Zhao Ruoruo smiled and said, "You are still being polite to my sister-in-law."

When Zhang Liang heard her words, he smiled.

Qin Youlan slowly asked, "Uncle, is there anyone who wants revenge on you? I remember you never leaving the house before. You shouldn't have offended anyone."

After she finished saying this, the other three sisters-in-law also looked at Zhang Liang, their eyes full of confusion, and they were obviously very curious about this as well.

After hearing Qin Youlan's words, Zhang Liang felt mixed emotions.

He sighed deeply, as if to expel the heaviness in his heart with this breath.

He said slowly, "He was one of my father's former subordinates."

There is a hint of helplessness in this sentence, as if there are too many stories hidden in it.

Then, Zhang Liang began to recount in detail what happened today, from the time he first learned that the man who came to seek revenge on him was his father's former subordinate, to the subsequent conflict and resolution.

His tone was calm and firm, but there was a subtle glint of worry in his eyes.

After listening to Zhang Liang's narration, Qin Youlan sighed deeply, her tone filled with emotion: "I didn't expect such a thing to happen. If my father knew what happened today, he would definitely regret letting this guy live."

Zhang Liang heard this and a faint smile appeared on his lips, but there was a hint of bitterness in his smile: "Sister-in-law, these people are not to be feared at all, otherwise it would not be so easy to deal with them today."

He tried to lighten the mood with a relaxed tone, but the vigilance in his eyes was hard to conceal.

At this time, Zhong Shu frowned. She gently patted Zhang Liang's shoulder and said with concern: "Uncle, don't be so careless. After all, it's easier to dodge an open attack than to defend against an arrow from the dark. You still have to be careful."

Her voice was gentle yet firm, revealing her deep concern and worry for Zhang Liang.

Hearing Zhong Shu's caring words, Zhang Liang felt a warm feeling in his heart.

He nodded and responded seriously: "You are right, sister-in-law, I will be careful."

Zhang Liang picked up his chopsticks and continued eating, as if the heavy topic just now had not affected his appetite.

Qin Youlan and the others tacitly agreed not to continue discussing the issue, and the atmosphere gradually returned to calm.

After dinner, Zhang Liang leaned back in his chair, looking a little tired.

Zhao Ruoruo considerately sat beside him, poured him a cup of tea, and said softly: "Uncle, have a cup of tea to help digestion."

Zhang Liang took the teacup, smiled and nodded, expressing his gratitude for Zhao Ruoruo's attentive care.

At this time, Wang Yuehan asked the maid to clear away all the dishes on the table, then stood up and said lightly: "I'll go prepare the bath water."

After saying that, she turned and left the room.

After a while, Wang Yuehan came back. She walked up to Zhang Liang and said with a smile, "Uncle, the bath water is ready. You can go take a bath."

There was a warmth and concern in her tone.

After hearing this, Zhang Liang smiled and nodded, saying, "Thank you for your help, sister-in-law. I'll go wash up now."

After saying that, he stood up from the chair, stretched, and walked towards the bathroom.

Zhang Liang walked into the bathroom and was greeted by a wave of hot air. In front of him was a steaming wooden barrel, which looked particularly tempting.

He slowly took off his clothes and put them aside neatly, then washed himself briefly and sat in the wooden barrel.

As soon as he entered the wooden barrel, Zhang Liang immediately felt a warm current surrounding him, as if all his fatigue had disappeared at this moment.

He closed his eyes comfortably, placed his hands on the edge of the barrel, and quietly enjoyed this rare moment of tranquility.

It was unknown how long it took before Zhang Liang slowly stood up from the wooden barrel and prepared to walk out.

However, at this moment, he suddenly realized that he had forgotten to bring a change of clothes.

This discovery made him frown immediately, and a look of distress appeared on his face.

"Why did you forget to bring your clothes in? What should I do?"

Zhang Liang muttered softly, feeling a little anxious.

He looked around, hoping to find some solution, but there was nothing in the bathroom except the tub and some toiletries.

Zhang Liang waited in the bathroom for a while, but no one else passed by outside.

He thought about it and felt that waiting like this was not a solution, so he decided to take a temporary solution.

After all, the bathroom was not far from his room, and no one would pass by his room without his permission.

Thinking of this, Zhang Liang felt that it should be feasible to walk back to his room with a towel wrapped around him.

So he picked up a clean towel and wrapped it around himself, then stuck his head out of the bathroom door, looked around, and after making sure that no one was passing by nearby, he mustered up the courage to walk out of the bathroom.

Wang Yuehan gently raised his foot and prepared to leave.

However, just as she was about to leave, her steps suddenly froze, and a thought of negligence flashed through her mind - she forgot to prepare a change of clothes for Zhang Liang.

This thought was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples in her heart and a blush of embarrassment unconsciously crept onto her face.

"Oops, how could I forget this?"

She murmured quietly, with a hint of self-blame and anxiety in her voice.

Then, she quickly turned around and almost jogged towards the bathroom, thinking about making up for this small mistake as soon as possible.

The night was gentle, and the light from the corridor shone on her hurried figure, casting a long and slender shadow.

As she approached the bathroom door, the light coming through the crack in the door and the gentle sound of water intertwined to create a private and subtle atmosphere.

Just as she was about to knock on the door to remind him, the scene before her made her forget to breathe instantly -

Uncle Zhang Liang was walking out of the bathroom, casually wearing a bath towel, obviously he had just finished taking a shower.

Although the towel covered most of his body, it could not completely hide his muscular figure that was usually hidden by his clothes.

Wang Yuehan's eyes were involuntarily attracted, especially the faintly visible abdominal muscle lines, which made her eyes widen in surprise.

In her impression, Zhang Liang has always been gentle and a little thin. At this moment, he seemed to overturn all her cognition.

"I usually see my uncle looking skinny and weak, but I didn't expect him to have such a good figure."

The words seemed to flow out of her mouth uncontrollably. Although the voice was small, it was enough to fill the air with a subtle awkwardness.

Zhang Liang was obviously also a little at a loss because of this sudden situation. He stood at the door, not knowing whether to go in or back out. The corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously a few times, as if he was trying hard to stay calm.

When he heard Wang Yuehan's words, a barely noticeable blush appeared on his cheeks.

This scene finally brought Wang Yuehan back to her senses from her shock. Her face suddenly turned red, like a ripe apple, bright and juicy.

She quickly raised her hands and covered her eyes, as if this could erase the embarrassing memory of just now.

"Uncle! I...I didn't see anything just now, don't worry."

She stammered as she explained, her voice full of panic and shyness.
