Chapter 213 The Arrival of the Family Head 2

Madam Zhan looked towards the door. The Xiang family's door was slammed loudly, and the noise outside quieted down in an instant.

"Madam, behead Madam." The housekeeper asked what the two meant.

Liu twisted the handkerchief with her fingers and looked at Madam Zhan nervously.

Madam Zhan was silent for a moment before she said, "Go open the door."

The butler received instructions and led two servants behind him towards the gate. The two servants stood on each side to prevent people from rushing in after the gate was opened.

The door slowly opened a crack, the butler stuck his head out to take a look, and when he saw the person coming, he hurriedly opened the door.

Several old men walked in with four or five middle-aged men.

"Old Patriarch, why are you here?"

The old man in the lead had white hair and a hunched back. He leaned on a cane and looked very bad. “If I hadn’t come, wouldn’t the Xiang family’s reputation be ruined by a vicious woman?”

The butler nodded and bowed without saying a word.

Madam Zhan and Liu came forward to meet them.

"Madam, Madam Zhan, this is the old patriarch of the Xiang family." The housekeeper introduced.

"Old patriarch."

Madam Zhan and Liu bowed in greeting.

The old patriarch looked up and asked, "Who are you two?"

"This is the general's wife, and this is the old lady of the Zhan family."

The old patriarch glanced past Madam Zhan and fixed his gaze on Madam Liu, his brows agape with doubt: "Madam General?"

"Yes, I've met the clan leader." Liu lowered her head and looked a little nervous.

The old patriarch snorted heavily, seeming to dislike it: "Don't call her Madam before you get married. The Xiang family tradition is about to be distorted by that vicious woman."

Liu was stunned. Not married?

Is she married?

The housekeeper was also confused and didn't understand.

Madam Zhan heard something. It seemed that no one in the Xiang family knew that Marquis Xiang Ming was getting married. She had heard about Marquis Xiang Ming's wedding a few years ago. It seemed that the old lady had bought it to bring good luck.

"How is the general now?" asked the old patriarch.

"The general's life is no longer in danger, old clan leader, don't worry." Madam Zhan said.

"That's good, what about that vicious woman?"

Evil woman?

"Madam Xiang? Madam Xiang is in the West Garden."

"Have someone bring the vicious woman and the second wife to the gate." After saying this to the old patriarch, he looked at the housekeeper and said, "Open the gate and arrange all the guards in the mansion to the gate to prevent the people from rushing in and causing chaos."

“Yes, yes.”

"Also, have someone move a table and some chairs to the gate." The old patriarch stroked his beard, his expression gloomy since he entered the mansion.

"What's this, old patriarch?" Madam Zhan asked.

"You'll know soon." The old patriarch didn't say much.

The housekeeper turned around as if remembering something and looked back: "Old Patriarch, the Second Master is still in a coma."

"Even if he is dead, he must be carried to the gate." said the old patriarch.

Upon hearing this, the housekeeper immediately ordered the servant to carry the person away.

The old patriarch turned around and told the few people following him: "You wait here, I will go see the general first."

"Yes, Patriarch."

"I will lead the way for the old patriarch." Liu stepped forward.

The old patriarch glanced at her, seemed to be about to say something, sighed, and walked away first.

Liu followed him, not knowing why the old patriarch disliked her so much.

Madam Zhan shook her head and sighed, then called out to the group of people who came with the old patriarch.

"Madam Zhan, there's no need to bother. We'll leave after we're done." The old man politely declined, and then a group of people walked towards the door.

Madam Zhan watched the servant carrying tables and chairs past and guessed something.

I'm a little worried that there will be a chaos once the gate is opened. The Xiang family doesn't have many guards, so I'll have to ask my husband to transfer some guards from the Zhan family.

Ye Qianning was also quite surprised to hear the identity of the visitor. She heard her father and Luo Wen say that they wanted to invite the clan leader, but Luo Wen did not go that day.
