Sun Lang frowned, discovering that the matter was not simple.
Just as he said before, Zhang Yinluo's father's martial arts were not bad, his body was very good, he was full of energy when he scolded people, and when he beat people, his fists and feet were like wind, as if he had eaten a lid. Other than being a little hot-tempered and having a bad temper, he clearly did not have any other problems.
Sun Lang had already personally experienced this point in his previous intimate exchange with Father-in-law.
That was why it was strange … and the timing was a little too coincidental.
But he could not say anything. After all, after the old thing … bah, after the old father-in-law fell ill, he felt that he had become an old man with an empty nest. It was quite normal for him to want his daughter to go back and take care of him for a period of time, right?
After understanding this matter, Sun Lang smiled and patted Yinluo's small hand, indicating that he was here for everything and there was no need to worry. Then he said to the Zhang fu's housekeeper in an amiable manner, "Elder Zou, right?"
This Elder Zou clearly had not heard of Sun Lang. Although he looked confused, he still followed the etiquette and bowed, "This little old man does not dare. May I ask what instructions does Young Master have?"
En, it seems like he does not recognize me, and Father-in-law also did not say anything bad about me to him …
He said with a smile, "Elder Zou does not need to be so courteous. We are family, so there is no need to be courteous."
The old housekeeper blinked and said somewhat puzzledly, "Ah?"
"It's like this."
Sun Lang said sincerely, "I am your family's future son-in-law, the kind of lecher who wants to take away a lot of dowry after casually giving some worthless betrothal gifts. After getting tired of your family's Eldest Miss's body, he will kick her aside. You did not expect this, did you?"
As soon as he said this, Zhang Yinluo's face flushed red, and she elbowed Sun Lang's chest, angrily saying, "What are you saying in front of other people!
What if you are misunderstood! "
And Zhao Feihuang could not pretend that she did not hear it. She was tightly hugged by Xu Qingluan, but she still struggled with all her might, loudly saying, "Sun Lang!
I don't want any betrothal gifts from you!
The entire Marquis Jing 'an fu was a dowry!
Moreover, Big Sister Xu was such a big and soft dowry!
She was much better than the Milky Way Spirit!
Hurry up and lie to me!
Come and lie to me! "
Xu Qingluan blushed and said loudly, "Please respect yourself, Eldest Miss!
There are outsiders watching! "
Elder Zou looked at the very excited Zhao Manor's Eldest Miss, then at his own Eldest Miss, and then at the sincere and pure Sun Lang. He almost couldn't catch his breath.
… What should I say?
Huh?
What should I do?
"So, if father-in-law is sick, as a lecher who covets the Zhang family's property, it is indeed a great opportunity to curry favor with him, right?"
Sun Lang said solemnly, "So, I think it's necessary for me to go back with Yinluo to help my father-in-law …"
Zhang Yinluo shouted, "Rush the bad luck?
Charge your head!
Are you planning to loot a burning house? You bastard! "
"So, it's more or less like that."
Sun Lang put on a very bashful expression, like a young man who was nervous about meeting his father-in-law for the first time. He was a little bashful, a little worried, but also a little expectant. He said somewhat embarrassedly, "Look, although I don't have a house, I don't have a job, and I also have a shocking dark history that I can't tell anyone about. I haven't even been able to get Yinluo pregnant. Like this, I probably don't have the face to meet my future father-in-law …"
Zhao Feihuang shouted again, "No problem!
No problem!
Sun Lang, let's go to the ancestral temple to kowtow right now!
Don't mention my father, even meeting all of the ancestors is possible! "
Zhang Yinluo covered her face and didn't want to say anything else. She sighed helplessly: "Actually, it's not a problem if you directly state your goal."
Sun Lang nodded and said directly, "I suspect that your father is pretending to be sick and secretly plotting an unspeakable goal, so I want to go take a look."
… This was too direct.
Yinluo sighed again and said helplessly: "Why is my father pretending to be sick?"
"Who knows."
Sun Lang said as if nothing had happened, "Maybe he wants to trick his filial son-in-law, who he doesn't like, and then ambush 500 executioners in the corridor so that his grandson will lose his father or something …"
"Nonsense."
Zhang Yinluo rolled her eyes and glanced at the old butler. She said in a gentle tone, "Elder Zou, you go back first. We will pack up and leave soon."
We?
When the old butler heard this, he was slightly shocked. He glanced at Sun Lang. No matter how you looked at it, this person looked … very inappropriate.
Was the young mistress really going to bring this person home?
Did she really see him as her future husband?
The master would definitely be angry. He felt that this sloppy man would definitely make the master fly into a rage.
Although the old butler considered himself a servant, this kind of confidant who had served in the manor for a lifetime, whether in terms of seniority, prestige, or even the degree of trust of the master, determined that he was not a simple servant. Even the juniors of the master's family had to be treated with the courtesy of an elder — although he would not take advantage of his seniority and really treat himself as an elder.
But how to put it? Humans were superficial creatures and were easily subtly influenced by the surrounding environment. For example, the so-called seventh-rank official in front of the Prime Minister's family relied on the power of the master's family to make the officials who had to ask the master to treat him with a smile and even call him brother. Over time, even the humble and cautious servant could not help but have the illusion that "actually, I have a lot of face", and his temper and arrogance would grow.
If his master's power was the same as before, if the favor he received had not decreased, then it was fine. But if he met someone who did not need to give him face …
Elder Zou completely did not realize that this very unconventional young man in front of him really did not need to give anyone face. At this time, the old butler was thinking about how to persuade the young mistress to give up this plan. He even tactfully reminded her that this young man in front of him was not a good match. He even said whether or not to report this matter to the master … Or rather, did the master call the young mistress back with similar considerations?
Then, he saw the young man, who was not at all flirtatious, look at him warmly.
In an instant, the old butler's body froze. He felt as if he was being stared at by a ferocious beast. He could not even show a frightened expression or a trace of cold sweat. His eyes, mind, and heart were all occupied by the young man's gaze just now. Although it was only a gaze, he clearly understood the other party's meaning.
Don't talk nonsense, or I'll kill you. Don't go and snitch, or I'll kill you. I'll chop you into mincemeat and feed you to the wild dogs on the side of the road. Then, you'll turn into black poop and sleep on the earth forever and become a part of the material cycle of the ecosystem. Bastard, don't take advantage of your seniority in front of me. When I go crazy, I'll even hit my father-in-law!
Although it was a bit complicated and difficult to understand, the old butler clearly understood the other party's meaning … This … Where did this kind of person come from?!
With this kind of horror and lingering fear, the old butler hurriedly nodded and agreed. He did not even say anything extra and ran out of the door.
Zhang Yinluo seemed to have realized something. He sighed and looked at Sun Lang, "What did you do again?"
Sun Lang looked innocent and cried out loudly, "What can I do?
Ah?
What did I do? "
"…" Zhang Yinluo sighed again, "Come, let's make a deal. You can go back with me to take a look, but you have to promise me a few things. First, you're not allowed to hit my father. Second, you're not allowed to throw canned herring. Third, don't bully my family. If you can't do it, I'll ignore you."
Zhao Feihuang shouted at the side, "Sun Lang!
His father is bad, bad, bad!
You must beat him hard. His family is also very rich and heartless!
Throw as many canned herring as you can!
Then beat up everyone in his family who can still breathe!
You can ignore that kind of cow spirit. I'll always be with you! "
Sun Lang smiled and looked at Zhao Feihuang, "Well, I'll see her off. I'll be back soon. Don't worry."
Hearing this, Zhao Feihuang's excitement and desire to see the world in chaos quickly calmed down. Her brave appearance faded, revealing an uneasy expression. She lowered her head and whispered, "You'll be back soon, right?"
Sun Lang's expression became a little strange, but he still nodded.
So, under Miss Zhao's tearful gaze and biting her handkerchief, Sun Lang and Zhang Yinluo went out. Because she missed her father very much, Yinluo did not pack anything. Anyway, it was her home. Everything was ready-made, so there was no need to pack anything.
Watching the two leave, Xu Qingluan looked at her Miss, who was a little depressed, and could not help but feel a little distressed … What was so good about Sun Lang?
She gently hugged Zhao Feihuang and said softly, "Miss, don't be sad. That kind of man …"
"Who said I'm sad?" Miss Zhao's voice sounded with a smile.
Butler Xu blinked, "Ah?
Then you … "
"Anyway, at this juncture, anything will seem suspicious, especially Zhang Yinluo who also played a key role in the magic weapon incident …" Zhao Feihuang smiled, "In this case, she was suddenly called back. Even I will be suspicious, so it's not surprising that Sun Lang wants to follow the cow spirit to have a look …"
Butler Xu was a little surprised, "But you …"
"Please, Sister Xu, some things are understandable, but it doesn't mean that I won't do anything."
Zhao Feihuang playfully blinked her eyes, "Compared to that shameless milk cow, I'm at a disadvantage, so I must use some small tricks to gain an advantage. For example, just now … Hehehehehe, pretending to be pitiful is very useful, especially for someone like Sun Lang … Aiya, let's not talk about it anymore …"
Looking at the Miss, who was bouncing and didn't seem to be sad at all, running back to the Flower Hall, Xu Qingluan had a little doubt in addition to the feeling of "your tricks are really deep".
The words that Miss didn't finish just now …
Sun Lang … What?
