Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 666: Zhang Family’s Troubles

The turmoil in the palace was one of the few events that occurred at the Capital City.         

    

But it was also this period of time when Zhang Family was having the biggest turmoil they ever experienced in their entire history.     

…     

    

Prang!     

Sound of porcelains breaking could be heard even from a distance away. There were a lot of servants who were still awake, but they didn’t dare to step forward and disturb their master in fear of getting killed accidentally.     

“What happened?” one of the servants who just finished an errand from outside asked in whisper.     

“Master’s concubine come back and have some disputes with Master.” The other servant didn’t dare to speak aloud either. He lowered his head, “Don’t mention this matter anymore.”     

“Ok.”     

Even though many of them were not completely clear about what had happened, not a single one of them dared to speak forward at this very moment. They didn’t want to die, so they chose to stay behind.     

Not a single one of them dared to speak.     

Inside the main room, it was a complete mess with so many broken porcelains shattered on the ground. It was so messy that one wouldn’t think of it as a place where one usually entertain their guests.     

Zhang Dan Shang was watching from the side with blue faces. In the end, he couldn’t help it and turned around, rushing out to meet with his half brother.     

“Ah Shang!” Zhang Dan Shang’s mother screamed.     

“Leave him be!” Official Zhang yelled. He huffed and sat down on his chair with anger. “Damn that woman! I should have never let her off!”     

An official was someone who would have their actions monitored by others. Zhang Dan Shui’s mother came to him in the afternoon and demanded for divorce. She didn’t even care about how he would look like in front of other people.     

Being watched like that infuriated him.     

In the end, he had no other choice but to accept her unreasonable request. Watching her crying and acting like that, Official Zhang didn’t really have any other method to wash this stain.     

Even if he washed in the yellow river, he was sure that by tomorrow, a lot of people would speak about the things he had done in his youth.     

Was it wrong for him to discipline his own son and wife?     

He was angry.     

“Are you really going to let him off just like that?” Zhang Dan Shang’s mother asked hysterically. She has always been the proud Madam Zhang who had good status and respected by other people.     

But with Zhang Dan Shui’s mother spreading the news everywhere like this, her image was completely destroyed!     

Zhang Dan Shang’s mother really couldn’t accept this.     

“They’ll not get away easily!” Official Zhang yelled back. “He’s also an official, so he definitely has to keep an image for himself. There’s no need for me to be the one to speak forward!”     

The tag of unfilial kid would definitely be tagged to Zhang Dan Shui’s head.         

    

Being treated like this by that pair of mother and son, Official Zhang would never help them even if the entire world ended. He would just watch from the side how those b*stards turned things around.     

Did they think that with the fact he mistreated them leaked out, they would be able to get away so easily?     

He wouldn’t be surnamed Zhang if he dared to let that happen!     

Drap! Drap! Drap!     

“Zhang Dan Shui!” Zhang Dan Shang rushed to the front gate and saw his half brother standing before a carriage. It seemed that Zhang Dan Shui’s mother had just entered the carriage after finishing the matter inside Zhang Family Residence.     

Zhang Dan Shui turned around when he heard his name called. The light within his eyes turned a shade colder when he saw who spoke. “Young Master Zhang, is there anything that I can do to help you?”     

“Are you satisfied with this?” Zhang Dan Shang’s voice was equally col and harsh. Being faced with Zhang Dan Shui’s ruthlessness, he felt as if he had never truly known how his half brother is.     

“I don’t understand what you meant, Young Master Zhang.”     

“Don’t act stupid in front of me! Do you really think that by breaking off your relationship with Zhang Family, you’ll be able to get away?” Zhang Dan Shang asked coldly.     

Zhang Dan Shui looked at Zhang Dan Shang in front of him. After watching his mother berating his own father not long ago, Zhang Dan Shui had long realized that being kind to them was useless.     

These people would never understand the pain they had caused to others without experiencing it themselves.     

“Young Master Zhang, I think that you forget that the one who break the relationship is Official Zhang and this had happened five years ago. The only reason why I come today is to make it clear that my mother had nothing to do with Zhang Family anymore.” Zhang Dan Shui looked at Zhang Dan Shang and showed a faint smile.     

“After all, it would be difficult for us if Zhang Family suddenly come and accuse us of using their connection. I have no intention to disturb the Zhang Family unless it was ordered and necessary.”     

Every sentences Zhang Dan Shui uttered were polite and in line with etiquette. However, the content was anything but that.     

It was already evening and there were some people walked around the street.     

Right now, some of them naturally stopped in order to be able to hear more about the rumors that occurred about Zhang Family. After all, this was one of the most discussed matter in the Capital City aside from the Victory Celebration not long ago.     

Zhang Dan Shang’s face turned black. “Zhang Family will never do something like that, Governor Zhang.”     

He was trying his best to restrain his temper when he realized that there were a lot of people who were watching. The accusation that Zhang Dan Shui sprouted would destroy them if it was spread.
