Chapter 3: Only one male, only female relatives left
"Uncle, we heard that you just killed Wang Fu and his gang?"
Just as Zhang Liang was about to deal with the burial arrangements for tomorrow, a worried voice sounded. He looked up and saw four or five young women, also in mourning, walking out from a distance and asking with concern.
"Sisters-in-law, I know how to handle this matter."
Zhang Liang sighed and bowed.
He has four older brothers, and these are his newly married wives. Unfortunately, they were summoned and killed by the dog emperor right after their wedding and before they even had time to spend the bridal chamber!
Thinking of this, a hint of hatred flashed in the depths of Zhang Liang's eyes.
The four older brothers are of similar age, but they have been in the army with their family for many years and have never married.
This year, he defeated the enemy while guarding the border and returned triumphantly. Only then did he prepare to get married and start a family under the arrangement of his elders.
But who would have thought that they, who should have enjoyed the attention of the people, were all eliminated by the royal family.
These four young women were Zhang Liang's eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, third sister-in-law and fourth sister-in-law, who had just married into the family.
It's just a pity for them. They became widows as soon as they stepped into the Zhang family.
He had advised them to remarry before, as they were originally from prominent families in Kyoto and had good family backgrounds, so they would not have trouble finding a husband.
But the four of them refused to do so, saying that from the moment they stepped into the Zhang family's door, they would always be members of the Zhang family.
Zhang Liang tried to persuade them many times but to no avail, and had no choice but to keep them.
But he will be exiled tomorrow, and there will be countless dangers along the way. These four sisters-in-law will probably have to spend a hard time following him.
These four sisters-in-law are as beautiful as angels and their family conditions are not bad. Now that their Zhang family has fallen on poverty, there is no reason to let them continue to follow.
Most importantly, they are good people.
When the Zhang family was definitely hit rock bottom, they did not choose to leave or add insult to injury, but instead busied themselves managing relationships everywhere.
Zhang Liang felt that there was no need to exile them together.
What's more, he had already made plans. If he could survive this exile, he would raise an army and accumulate strength.
Sooner or later, he will return to the imperial city to avenge his dead father and brothers!
If this dangerous thing fails, the consequences will be disastrous!
Zhang Liang had no intention of dragging others into this.
"Sisters-in-law, tomorrow is the day of exile. You are innocent and do not need to suffer this unprovoked disaster. I will personally write the deed, and you can return home."
Zhang Liang's eyes were firm, and he felt he had to persist in persuading her: "Staying in the Zhang family will not benefit you for the rest of your life."
The Wuguo Mansion has been too dazzling in recent years, and has therefore made countless enemies. This road of exile is likely to be dangerous.
The old emperor only allowed him to bring a few servants and his family, without any guards to protect him.
If he ran into a group of bandits on the road, he would probably be in big trouble.
If four fair-skinned and beautiful women are added, the risk factor increases greatly.
When they were in danger, he didn't have the energy to turn around and protect them.
"Uncle, I already talked about this last time. Don't mention it again!" said the sister-in-law, who is usually quite straightforward.
"We've already married into the Zhang family, having been married after three matchmakers and six engagements. The Zhang family treated us with no ceremony when they welcomed us in. If we abandon them now, wouldn't we be unworthy of being human beings?"
"My family was in trouble, but Duke Wu was kind enough to help resolve it and save our family. Now I will never leave!"
The other sisters-in-law were no better and basically rejected Zhang Liang's proposal.
A hint of anger appeared on their pretty faces. It was obvious that these sisters-in-law seemed to think that Zhang Liang was deliberately humiliating them.
But it was obvious that Zhang Liang didn't mean that.
He could only sigh helplessly, it seemed that there was really no point in persuading her.
I can only quickly deal with the funeral arrangements of my father and others, and prepare for tomorrow's exile.
This time the journey is far, thousands of miles away, in a remote border area. Not only are there countless bandits on the road, but there are also poisonous insects and miasma. It is extremely dangerous.
Even if Zhang Liang was a time traveler, he was not sure he could arrive safely.
Just as he was thinking, a hurried sound of footsteps was heard, and a servant came over again and said:
"First Madam, Second Madam, Fourth Madam, the three masters from your mother's family are here and want to see you!"
There was worry in the servants' eyes. The Duke Wu's Mansion had been in decline recently, and some old enemies often came looking for trouble, but they were all easy to deal with.
It's either fighting or killing, it's a life-and-death battle.
Only the families of these ladies were quite special, so these old soldiers who had been to the battlefield didn't know what to do and could only report it.
"It must be that thing again!"
Fourth sister-in-law Zhao Ruoruo, who was wearing a green dress, said.
"Ahu, take us to see it!"
Sister-in-law Qin Youlan didn't look very good, but she remained calm.
The others also looked embarrassed and could only follow.
As for Zhang Liang, since he was the master of the house, he naturally had to go, and followed the servant Ah Hu.
A number of people had already gathered in the front yard of the mansion.
Leading the group were three middle-aged men in different attire. They were dressed in gorgeous clothes, frowning and looking around constantly.
It was not until Zhang Liang and others appeared that they stopped looking around.
"Father, why are you here again?"
Qin Youlan, the eldest sister-in-law, asked.
"Why are we here? Of course, we want to persuade you to stop and turn back!"
Qin Shan, the head of the Qin family, spoke.
"A few days ago, the young master of the Minister of Rites came to propose marriage. He said that as long as you are willing to be his concubine, he will put aside the past grudges of you being a widow of the Zhang family. You should quickly sever ties with this place, return with me, and marry the young master of the Minister of Rites as his concubine the next day!"
Qin Youlan's face was grim. "Father, please go back. I've already married into the Zhang family and become a member of the Zhang family. There's no reason for me to leave!"
Qin Shan's eyes were filled with anger, and he was obviously angry at Qin Youlan's tone.
"Rebellious girl, if you follow this little bastard, you'll only end up dead. The Zhang family is finished, and you're still stubborn and unyielding?"
After saying that, he raised his right hand and pretended to slap Qin Youlan.
However, at this moment, a hand directly and firmly grasped his palm and pushed it hard.
Zhang Liang stood up, his face filled with a murderous look:
"Qin Shan, according to the laws of our dynasty, she married into my Zhang family and is now a member of my Zhang family. If you hit her, you're slapping me in the face!"
Although he looks fair and clean, he naturally exudes a domineering aura, perhaps because he lives in a family of military generals.
"You...what qualifications do you have to speak? She is the daughter of my Qin family. I can do whatever I want with her!"
This posture frightened Qin Shan directly. He wanted to say something harsh, but he didn't dare to.
Because he saw the servants behind Zhang Liang who were full of murderous intent.
Rumor has it that these are all fierce soldiers from the battlefield who kill without blinking an eye. Even though he brought some servants with him today, they are far from enough.
"Qin Shan, how dare you say that? Your Qin family was in decline before. If it weren't for Duke Wu's kindness and help, your family would have been expelled from the capital by now. How on earth did an ungrateful person like you give birth to a daughter as well-educated and well-mannered as the eldest young lady?"
At this moment, Yang Bo, the old steward of the Zhang Mansion, stood up and scolded loudly.
Qin Shan's face turned pale. It was indeed embarrassing for him to be exposed in public, but he could not care less now.
