After helping Wu Chengfeng ascend to the throne, Cao Wenbin began to prepare for his journey to the Zhang family!
Unlike the simplicity when he came to the Tianwu Imperial Dynasty!
The lineup for this visit to the Zhang family is nothing short of extremely luxurious!
As many as five airships were mobilized!
Three of them were used to transport gifts for the meeting!
Another one was used to transport bodyguards!
Of course, the actual role of this group of people is mainly to show off, and they will hardly take any action!
"Young master, you are going to see your fiancée. It's not good to take us with you!"
With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Cao Wenbin then reached out and touched Pei Luoxue's hair. "What's wrong with that?"
"Don't forget, you are like my holster. If I don't take you with me, there will be no place for my gun!"
"Disgusting!"
Seeing the ambiguous eyes of Xue Rou and others beside her, Pei Luoxue, the empress, couldn't bear it immediately and turned around and ran into the cabin!
To her surprise, Cao Wenbin also followed her in!
"All right. Set sail!"
...
In the easternmost part of Zhongzhou, the ancestral residence of the Zhang family.
Today is the grand day of the Zhang family's ancestor worship, so all the living members of the Zhang family have gathered in the ancestral residence!
Of course, the two great emperors didn't come!
After all, they themselves are ancestors!
At the beginning, everything was fine. But just when it was about to end, the Grand Elder started to make trouble!
"Zhi Yan, wait a moment. I have something to say to you!"
As soon as these words came out, those Zhang family members who were about to leave immediately stopped in their tracks!
Then, they began to whisper to each other!
"Has the Grand Elder gone mad? How dare he talk to Zhang Zhi Yan like this? You know, she is the future mistress of the Cao family!"
"Don't say that. If the young master of the Cao family has already taken a liking to her, then the Grand Elder wouldn't dare to talk like this. But now, the two of them haven't even met yet. Naturally, the Grand Elder won't be afraid of her. After all, the Grand Elder's power is much greater than that of the family head!"
"But anyway, it's not a wise move to offend Zhang Zhi Yan now. After all, Zhang Zhi Yan still has a chance to become the mistress of the Cao family!"
"Yes, yes. Moreover, Zhang Zhi Yan is so beautiful. How could Cao Wenbin not like her?"
"I can't figure it out. But the Grand Elder, that old fox, will never suffer losses. He's very shrewd!"
"..."
Not only these people couldn't understand, but Zhang Zhi Yan, the person involved, also couldn't figure out what the Grand Elder was up to!
So, she immediately gave her father a look!
Although the latter hadn't been in contact with his daughter for a long time, as the family head, he wasn't stupid. So he immediately stood up!
"Grand Elder, if you have something to say, just tell me!"
"You know this child, Zhi Yan. She's rather introverted and difficult to communicate with!"
In Zhang Tianyi's opinion, since he had already stepped forward, even if the Grand Elder had a lot of evil ideas in his belly, he shouldn't spill them out!
After all, no matter what, he was also the family head!
But he obviously overestimated himself!
Sure enough, the Grand Elder just gave him a faint glance, and then ordered Zhang Zhi Yan, "After the young master of the Cao family arrives, you don't show up first. Let your cousin Zhi Yun receive him first!"
"This is the decision of the Elder Council. We all agree that Zhi Yun is more suitable for the young master of the Cao family than you!"
As soon as these shameless remarks came out, everyone present was stunned!
After a long while, someone murmured weakly, "The Zhi Yun the Grand Elder mentioned, isn't she his granddaughter who is so promiscuous?"
"Gulp~"
His companion swallowed. "It should be. After all, there's only one Zhi Yun in our Zhang family!"
And the conversation between the two also successfully woke up the others!
"Damn it. Replace Zhang Zhi Yan with Zhang Zhi Yun? Is this a stupid plan thought up with toes?"
"If this succeeds, the young master of the Cao family will be miserable. He'll be cuckolded directly!"
"Cough, I planted a grass in this prairie!"
"Then we are brothers - in - law!"
"To be honest, my brother and I also participated in this 'project'. And we worked on it together!"
"For some reason, the word 'incestuous relationship between father - in - law and daughter - in - law' suddenly popped up in my mind. Otherwise, how could the Grand Elder give such a brainless order?"
" There's really such a possibility! After all, Zhang Zhi Yun has always been promiscuous. She can do it eight times for just a lollipop!"
"Damn it. Isn't this pushing our Zhang family into the fire pit? The young master of the Cao family isn't stupid. Can't he tell if she's pure or not? When he gets furious, where will our way out be?"
Even the onlookers were so angry, not to mention Zhang Zhi Yan, the person involved!
However, she was the reincarnation of an empress after all, and she had some depth of thought!
So, after just a few breaths, she calmed down her emotions!
But she could endure it, while Zhang Tianyi couldn't!
"Grand Elder, you said this is the decision of the Elder Council. Then why don't I know anything about it?"
"Don't we need to inform the family head when holding an Elder Council meeting now?"
Facing the质疑, the Grand Elder just smiled faintly. "If it's an ordinary Elder Council meeting, then naturally the family head will be invited to attend!"
"But this meeting was presided over by the old ancestor himself!"
"He only named a few of us. Even if we wanted to bring you, we couldn't!"
"You..."
Zhang Tianyi's eyes were red with anger!
But he had no way to do anything!
Because none of the two old ancestors of the imperial family were in his faction!
He, the family head, was just a puppet supported by the two factions!
The purpose was to maintain the balance!
He had hardly any real power in his hands!
"Just do as the Grand Elder said. I hope Cousin Zhi Yun can achieve immediate success!"
Just when Zhang Tianyi was in a dilemma of neither advancing nor retreating, Zhang Zhi Yan, the person involved, finally spoke!
After leaving these words, Zhang Zhi Yan didn't stay any longer and turned around and walked towards her residence!
On the way.
"Daughter, it's father who has let you down!"
"If I weren't so weak, how could you miss such an opportunity!"
Zhang Zhi Yan smiled faintly. "Father, you're overthinking it!"
"Only what can be grasped is an opportunity!"
"What can't be grasped is a disaster!"
"Just wait and see. The Grand Elder will surely pay the price for his decision today!"
Seeing his daughter so confident, Zhang Tianyi's gloomy mood dissipated a lot.
"But be careful of the unexpected. After all, you know how slutty Zhang Zhi Yun is!"
Waving her hand, Zhang Zhi Yan was completely unconcerned. "Father, you're being blinded by the situation!"
"As the young master of the Cao family, what kind of women hasn't Cao Wenbin seen?"
"Just being slutty is definitely not enough to win him over!"
Zhang Tianyi thought about it and realized it was right!
So, a smile soon appeared on his face!
Originally, he was about to say something more!
But just then, a group of people suddenly rushed out behind them!
And they were all running towards the gate!
While running, they were shouting, "The young master of the Cao family is almost here!"
