stormy clouds

Chang Pu was overjoyed, she was indeed her own daughter.

Chang Luoyun smiled, took a sip of the tea in front of him, and then said slowly: "Although these two villages in the countryside were bought by Aunt Jian when she was still alive, they are still the property of the Chang family after all. But later Mrs. Pei It was pawned and then came into my hands.

Now I think Wen Yun manages the pawnshop very appropriately. After all, he is his father's only son. From now on, the Chang family will belong to him, let alone Zhuangzi in the countryside.Besides,"

Chang Luoyun paused, "I can rest assured that one of the villagers in the countryside will be left to him to take care of, and the other one will be left to my aunt to take care of."

Chang Pu originally thought that Chang Luoyun was his daughter after all. No matter what, he still thought that he was her father, so Zhuangzi naturally handed it over to him.

Who knew that it would be okay to leave it to Wen Yun? At any rate, she was right, Wen Yun was his only son at present, but to leave it to Jiang, wouldn't it mean that in her heart, his father was not as good as Jiang's?

He took a sip of tea, suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and said slowly: "You can think of Wen Yun and feel very happy for your father. It's just that another Zhuangzi was handed over to your aunt. If Mrs. Zhang knew about it, wouldn't it be a shame? Outer?"

Chang Luoyun put down the tea cup, looked at him meaningfully and smiled, "I know what my father is thinking, but father, think about it, Mr. Zhang is a shrewd man. If I let my father run the village, it would be better for nothing." Sent to Mrs. Zhang.

Is it possible that, in your fifth year, your father still expects Mr. Zhang to give you a son who is number one? "

Chang Pu's old face was slightly warm. This daughter was married and she really dared to say anything.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Chang Luoyun smiled again and said: "But the eldest aunt is different. The eldest uncle and my father have always been close, and the eldest aunt has always been kind. Giving it to her should be a reward for her kindness to me over the years." care."

At this point, Chang Pu really didn't know what to say, but he still felt a little unwilling to leave Zhuangzi in Jiang's hands.

You know, in the past, the two Zhuangzis were able to live quite comfortably in the hands of Mr. Pei, not to mention anything else, just eating and drinking as a family.

Chang Pu still wanted to try harder, and he said calmly: "But it is not suitable for Zhuangzi to be handed over to your aunt. Those who know will say that your uncle and I are kind fathers. Those who don't know will think that you are unfilial. Good Zhuangzi." He would not give it to his father, but would rather give it to his aunt."

Before Chang Pu finished speaking, Chang Luoyun slapped his palm on the table, startling Chang Pu.

Chang Luoyun snorted coldly and said: "I don't think anyone dares to chew on this. Let's not say that the eldest aunt is from the Chang family. To me, she is the same elder as my father. Even if she is not from the Chang family, my Zhuangzi , I can give it to whomever I want.

As for being unfilial," Chang Luoyun glanced sideways at Chang Pu and said word by word, "If I hadn't been filial, would the Chang family still be in the current situation? "

Chang Pu flinched. The Pei family had completely defeated the Chang family. If it weren't for her, the Chang family would really be in ruins.

Chang Pu felt guilty first. He smiled reluctantly and said, "Since you have decided, then Zhuangzi's affairs will be settled like this."

Chang Luoyun rested for two seconds, then softened his expression and said with a smile: "Now that my father has finished speaking, I will also tell him what I want to say."

Chang Pu felt a little weak for no reason when he saw her meaningful eyes.

I haven't been around my daughter since she was a child. I used to think she was easy to get rid of, but now she seems to be careless, not like her mother at all.

Especially after marrying into the Marquis's house, although he became more and more decent in speaking and doing things, under this propriety, he became more and more unkind.

But now that the words had come to this, he had no choice but to listen, so he had to brace himself and said, "Just say whatever you have to say."

Chang Luoyun smiled and said: "Wen Yun has reached the age of proposing marriage. Has father made any plans for him?"

Chang Pu was stunned. Ever since Mr. Pei left, the family had become a mess. How could he care about Wen Yun's affairs?

Chang Luoyun was not surprised at all when he saw his expression. His father always only thought of himself and was cowardly and incompetent when things happened.

"Now that the Zhang family is in charge, I guess she won't think about Wen Yun's marriage." Chang Luoyun said softly: "But my father is different. Wen Yun is the only man in the family. From now on, the Chang family will have to rely on him to support the family. , Now that he has reached the age of engagement, if he does not find a good marriage for him, people who don’t know will think that his father will not even care about his son after marrying the bride." Chang Pu's face turned red and he defended: "This There have been incidents in the family one after another for a while, and the Qingzhou Rebellion has just passed, so Wen Yun’s marriage has really not been considered.”

"Of course I know," Chang Luoyun said, "It's just that others may not think so. If you meet those who like to gossip, you might even arrange for your father to marry a bride and not even take care of his son."

This was a return to Chang Pu's words just now. Chang Pu's face turned red. Such words were very heartbreaking for him who always loved face, not to mention that coming from his daughter's mouth was even more embarrassing for him.

He said angrily: "Any family that doesn't have a last resort cannot tolerate any mistakes in the Chang family."

"Father said this out of anger." Chang Luoyun said with a leisurely smile: "You also know that when Mrs. Pei suddenly died of a sudden illness, the fifth sister disappeared inexplicably. Others had made random guesses. Now that Wen Yun has not announced marriage at such an age, doesn't it make people speculate even more?"

Chang Pu was speechless.

When Chang Luoyun said this, he seemed to remember something and said, "Does father know where the fifth sister has gone?"

Chang Pu said angrily: "No matter what she did, in short, now that she has left the Chang family, she is no longer my daughter, and her life and death have nothing to do with me."

"In this way, father really doesn't want to know about her, and it seems that I don't need to talk about it." Chang Luoyun lowered his eyes and sat upright, as if he didn't want to talk about it.

Chang Pu saw her say something and then stopped, feeling a little upset.

Among his three children, only Chang Luoyao grew up in front of him, and she was the one he loved most.It seemed that she was smart and beautiful, and had a good future no matter what, but who knew she would take that path in the end.

Just like a farmer who worked hard but got nothing in the end, although Chang Pu was angry, he couldn't really not care at all.

"Where is she now?" Chang Pu paused, and finally couldn't help but ask.

Chang Luoyun's lips slightly raised and he said calmly: "First she became the concubine of Prince Cheng'an, and then she ran away. It is said that she wants to return to Prince Cheng'an's house now, but Mrs. Prince Cheng'an won't let her in."

Chang Pu felt as if he was being drenched by boiling water, his face turned green and red for a while, which was very exciting.

Chang Luoyun couldn't see it and continued to say calmly: "The fifth sister's current situation is really pitiful. Otherwise, father would think of a way to help her. After all, she is also his most beloved daughter!"

Only then did Chang Pu realize the irony in Chang Luoyun's words, and his face became more and more livid.

"Are you telling me this just to embarrass me?"

"What my father said was wrong," Chang Luoyun remained calm, "I didn't want to say it originally, but it was my father who asked me about it that made me say it. Besides, the fifth sister is a member of the Chang family after all. If it's too embarrassing, It’s also the father’s face that’s hurt, isn’t it? What’s more, if she is desperate and says something she shouldn’t say, wouldn’t the father lose even more face?”

Chang Pu trembled with his lips and stood up suddenly, staring at her angrily.

Chang Luoyun was not afraid at all and looked at him coldly.

How dare she threaten him.

Chang Pu closed his eyes and suddenly felt dizzy. He wanted to grab something with his hands, but he could only press them on the tea cup in front of him. The tea cup could not bear the force and quickly drew an arc on the table. , fell to the ground with a bang and shattered into pieces.

Chang Pu fell into the chair behind him.

Chang Luoyun slowly stood up and said to Qing Luo who was standing next to him: "The second master suddenly feels unwell. Please ask Shunzi to take the second master back."
