Zhongshan County.
Wuji County.
In the Zhen family's main hall.
Zhen Jiang was wearing a white mourning robe. He stood beside the mahogany coffin in the hall and looked at the crowd in the hall. He could not help but feel bitter.
Her father, Zhen Yi, did not make it through last night.
Even though the famous doctors they invited had tried their best, they were unable to stop the summoning of Hades.
When her father passed away, the family lost its backbone.
And that young brother was sent by her to seek help from that person.
He did not know what the outcome would be.
Sigh!
Zhen Jiang sighed in his heart.
Previously, his father had listened to the slanderous words of others and neglected the Liu family, which was in decline.
He wanted to ruin her and Liu Yi's pre-arranged marriage.
She objected, but there was nothing she could do.
She wondered if Liu Yi would still be able to come and save her in this critical moment.
"I said, niece!"
In the hall, Zhen Jiang's uncle spoke.
"Your father has just passed away, and all the big and small things in the family need people to take care of them.”
"Your brother is a scholar. We can't let this low-class business hinder his future.”
"It just so happens that this uncle of mine can help you manage your huge family business.”
"How about this, write a letter and let those shopkeepers listen to my orders in the future.”
"I'll help you settle everything."
"Niece, just stay at home and wait to count the money.”
"As for your marriage, Uncle has already arranged it for you.”
"It's the county magistrate's son."
"He's very handsome…"
"Bah!" A teenage girl jumped out from behind Zhen Jiang.
She pointed at the noisy man and shouted with her hands on her hips.
"Nonsense!"
"Who in Wuji County doesn't know that the county magistrate's youngest son is a fool!”
"What is your uncle's motive for wanting to marry my sister to him?”
"There's more!"
"We don't need an outsider like you to manage the Zhen family's business!”
"My elder sister can bring me along!"
"Zhen Mi, don't talk nonsense." Zhen Jiang waved his hand and interrupted his younger sister, who was also dressed in mourning robes.
This was not the time to turn against his uncle.
After all, the two sisters were the only ones left at home.
His second brother had yet to return.
If he was really desperate, how could the two of them resist his uncle?
"Humph!"
Zhang Ming snorted coldly. As the brother-in-law of Zhen Yi, the owner of this mansion, he had been spying on the huge family business for a long time.
If only her sister Zhang Shi could live until now, how good would that be!
He could not help but sigh in his heart.
If that was the case, wouldn't the entire family business be his with just a word from her?
In the latter half of his life, he would no longer have to eat, drink, and play like he did now.
No matter what, he had to get this family business.
The two women were at home, but the weak scholar had not returned yet.
If he didn't make a move now, when would he?
"You want to do it the hard way!"
Zhang Ming's gaze turned cold.
"Then don't blame me for being rude!”
"No matter what, I can't watch this huge family business be ruined by you two women!”
"Tsk! You're the prodigal!" Zhen Mi jumped out from behind her sister and pointed at the other party.
"Previously, Mother's family had more than enough wealth, but you wasted it all by eating, drinking, and playing every day!”
"Wouldn't it be a joke to say that you know how to manage the family business?”
"Hey, you little fellow, I think you're asking for a beating!”Zhang Ming rolled up his sleeves and rushed forward.
"Let me, your uncle, discipline you properly!”
"Stop!" Zhen Jiang couldn't hold it in anymore and shouted.
"Uncle, this is the Zhen family. Please behave yourself.”
"Zhen family?" Zhang Ming snorted coldly." The Zhen family is gone, so what's the Zhen family?"”
"This uncle of mine is going to become the Zhang family today!”
"You damned guy, when my second brother comes back with my brother-in-law, he will definitely cut off your head!”Zhen Mi stuck her head out from behind her sister and shouted.
"Hahaha!" Zhang Ming threw his head back and laughed.
"At this time, there's no need to hide it from the two of you.”
His gaze turned fierce.
"I've already bribed the Yellow Turban guards nearby and laid an ambush on the road.”
"Even if your weak scholar Second Brother brought that kid from Yangxin County back, he wouldn't be able to pass that test.”
"Maybe by now, his head has already been chopped off and thrown into the wilderness to feed the wolves.”
"Impossible!" Zhen Mi shook her head in disbelief, but her heart was filled with anxiety." My brother-in-law definitely wouldn't have been killed by the Yellow Turbans!"”
"He will definitely ride a tall white horse to save us sisters!”
Although Zhen Jiang heard Zhen Mi's words of encouragement, his heart couldn't help but sink to the bottom.
She knew her uncle well.
He had nothing to do and hung out with a group of local ruffians every day. For the sake of this huge family business, he was really capable of doing anything.
Could it be that even if Zhen Yan brought Liu Yi back, he would also be harmed by the Yellow Turban thief blocking the way?
Zhen Jiang's heart was in a mess.
