"Da…Da..."
At the main gate of the Zhangsun Manor, a carriage slowly drove over and stopped in front of the Zhangsun Clan.
"What are you doing? This is the Zhangsun Clan, not a place for you to park your carriage.”
Seeing the carriage stop in front of the manor, the Zhangsun Clan's guard began to grumble in dissatisfaction.
"When did the Zhangsun Clan become so domineering?”
A shout came from inside the carriage. Liu Wenjing lifted the curtain and walked out.
"So it's Lord Liu."
Seeing this, the two servants immediately put on flattering smiles.
"Lord Liu, please!"
One of them hurriedly let Liu Wenjing enter the mansion while the other went in to report.
"So it's Lord Liu. Sorry for not welcoming you.”
Just as he entered the mansion, a clear voice sounded.
Immediately after, Liu Wenjing saw the current head of the Zhangsun Clan, Zhangsun Chi, walking over quickly.
This person was Zhangsun Wugou's second uncle, the second brother of the former Great Sui War General Zhangsun Sheng. However, his family had fallen quite a bit.
"I wouldn't dare."
Liu Wenjing snorted coldly and waved her hand.
Seeing Liu Wenjing like this, Zhangsun Chi was stunned for a moment. He had a bad feeling in his heart.
"May I know why Lord Liu has come?”
After welcoming Liu Wenjing into the main hall, Zhangsun Chi asked with a smile.
"Today, I came under the orders of the Duke to tell the Zhangsun Clan something.”
Liu Wenjing deliberately dragged out her tone.
"Could it be that the Li Residence is preparing to hold a wedding?”
Zhangsun Chi asked with a smile, obviously not knowing the reason.
Then, Liu Wenjing first told him about the incident at the Tang Public House in detail.
"I didn't expect such a thing to happen. It's really sad.”
Zhangsun Chi pretended to be sad.
"Then what about Zhangsun Wugou?"
Then, Zhangsun Chi turned around and asked.
This question wasn't about Zhangsun Wugou's comfort, but about the engagement with the Li family.
"Good question. Your niece is really amazing. The Duke sent someone to ask for help, but your niece refused to come back.”
Liu Wenjing smiled faintly.
"This…"
Hearing that, Zhangsun Chi felt as if he had been struck by lightning. Now, he finally understood why the other party had come looking for him and ended up with such a face. Naturally, after a while, he said a complete sentence.
"You don't have to say anything more. The Duke has already said that either Zhangsun Wugou returns or the Zhangsun Clan and the Li Clan sever all ties.”
Liu Wenjing said coldly. She had never given Zhangsun Chi a good look.
Now, whether or not to abide by the engagement was secondary. Zhangsun Wugou's attitude was more important. It was related to the face of the Duke of Tang and them.
"What an unfilial daughter!"
In response, Zhangsun Chi shouted angrily.
"I'll have to trouble Lord Liu to tell the Duke when he returns that I'll definitely get Wugou to come back and even personally apologize.”
Zhangsun Chi said.
"This is the Duke's last words.”
After saying that, Liu Wenjing turned around and left.
"This is putting pressure on the Zhangsun Clan. Wugou actually did such a thing.”
After Liu Wenjing left, Zhangsun Chi was so angry that his entire body was trembling.
"Patriarch, the most important thing now is to get Wugou to come back. Otherwise, it'll be troublesome.”
Many of the Zhangsun Clan's disciples spoke up.
"Yes, this is the most urgent matter."
Zhangsun Chi took a deep breath and tried his best to calm himself down.
This matter concerned the relationship between the Zhangsun Clan and the Li Clan, and was closely related to the future of the Zhangsun Clan.
"Send someone to the Gao Manor to pass a message to Zhangsun Wuji. Tell him to bring his sister here. If they don't do as I say, they will be removed from the family register.”
At this moment, Zhangsun Chi ordered.
"Yes, sir!"
A disciple received the order and left hurriedly.
This was to put pressure on Zhangsun Wuji. After all, Zhangsun Wugou was willing to not leave Jizhou. It was much better to threaten Zhangsun Wuji.
“......”
After receiving the order, the people from the Zhangsun Manor headed straight for the Gao Manor.
Although Zhangsun Chi was their second uncle, Zhangsun Wuji and his sister were the true direct descendants of Zhangsun Sheng.
The position of the family head should have been taken by Zhangsun Wuji. In order to keep the position of the family head, Zhangsun Chi had driven the two away.
Fortunately, Uncle Gao Shilian took them in.
The current Zhangsun Wuji was in the Gao Manor. The people from the Zhangsun Manor had arrived at the Gao Manor and directly wanted to see Zhangsun Wuji.
"What is it?"
Zhangsun Wuji asked coldly after he appeared.
Towards this group of Zhangsun Chi's lackeys, he naturally did not have any good expressions.
The person who came first told Zhangsun Wuji about what had happened in the Tang Public House.
"What? This actually happened? What are you all doing?”
Zhangsun Wuji said angrily when he heard that his sister had suffered such a big incident in Taiyuan.
"Hmph, Zhangsun Wugou is fine. The Li family sent people to save him, but she actually refused.”
"Now that the Li Clan has come knocking on our door, tell Zhangsun Wugou to return as soon as possible. Otherwise, we'll sever all ties with the clan.”
The person from the Zhangsun Clan could not help but snort coldly as he continued to speak.
"What does it have to do with me?"
Hearing that his sister Wugou was fine, the anxious Zhangsun Wuji immediately relaxed.
Since they had been chased out of the Zhangsun Clan, it naturally had nothing to do with their future.
"Zhangsun Wuji, don't refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit. The clan head said that if you don't do as he said, your siblings 'names will be removed from the genealogy.”
The person who came berated, not showing any mercy to Zhangsun Wuji.
"Impudent!"
Zhangsun Wuji was extremely furious. He rolled up his sleeves and was about to attack.
That so-called second uncle had chased the siblings out of the house for the sake of the position of the family head.
He even used Wugou's marriage agreement to climb up the Li family's big tree. Zhangsun Wuji had also tolerated these.
Now, the clan was taking advantage of the siblings in times of crisis and even threatened to erase the genealogy. How could they not be furious?
Furthermore, if he were to be in charge of this matter, it would be tantamount to conveying the threat of the family to his sister and then putting pressure on her?
That was his own sister, and this bullsh * t second uncle actually had such thoughts. It was no different from adding fuel to the fire.
"Get lost, you are not welcome here."
Gao Shilian stopped Zhangsun Wuji and shouted at the messenger of the Zhangsun Clan.
"I've already said my piece.”
After saying this, the person left.
"Is that old thing crazy?"
Zhangsun Wuji said angrily.
"Wuji, now is not the time to be impulsive. You should think about what to do.”
Gao Shilian was also furious at the Zhangsun Clan's actions, but he still maintained his rationality.
"This…"
Zhangsun Wuji frowned and fell into a long silence.
To be honest, he naturally did not want to force his younger sister, but it was also a little worrying that his younger sister was in Lin Changye's hands.
After all, Lin Changye was a ruthless character who had destroyed the Tang Public House. He was not an ordinary person.
"Is there a way to contact Wugou?”
Gao Shilian asked.
"I don't know if I can contact her or not. If I can contact her, how could I not know that something like this has happened to Wugou?”
Zhangsun Wuji sighed.
