?Chapter 138: Chapter 138: Go to the Backyard to Meet Zhan Lan Chapter 138: Chapter 138: Go to the Backyard to Meet Zhan Lan The three of them looked stupefied upon hearing the mention of Mrs. Zhang.
Zhan Beicang furrowed his brows and said, “That shrew, what is she here for now? Didn’t I already give her some silver to send her off yesterday?”
As he spoke, he started to head outside when Mrs. Zhang, already cursing and swearing, arrived at the entrance of the living room.
She was a middle-aged woman of short stature, skinny, with a particularly sharp and mean face, and a gold tooth in between her teeth.
Holding a handkerchief, she cried out, “Ah, General Zhan, you must stand up for this common woman!”
“My husband died young, and he once served at the court too. Ever since our family fell into hardship, anyone feels they can trample over my son and me!”
“The General Mansion, you are the great loyal ministers, officials serving the nation with loyalty, but you shouldn’t break the marriage agreements of ordinary folk!”
Mrs. Jiang wept with tears and snot running down her face; Zhan Beicang asked with a splitting headache, “Madam Zhang, what happened now?”
Mrs. Jiang dried her tears and said, “Early this morning, our in-laws, Lord Chu and his family, came to our house personally to break off the engagement, saying their daughter has someone she loves and refuses to marry now!”
She grabbed Zhan Beicang’s sleeve and angrily smacked his arm, scolding, “What high ground are you in the General Mansion claiming? You still say it isn’t your family causing trouble; it was your Zhan Hui who seduced Chu Yin, Chu Yin has no shame, complicit in disgrace!”
Zhan Xinzhang squinted his eyes, at that moment, it was impossible to reason with a senseless woman under so many watchful eyes.
This matter still needed to be settled privately.
