"Smooth talker!" Sang Qian sneered inwardly. This guy really never misses an opportunity to flirt with girls.
However, Miss Xie, a lady from a prestigious family, detests these petty, unsavory tactics the most.
At this moment, he had already seen Xie Daoyun's shy appearance, and Sang Qian was even more annoyed. What was wrong with these women? Did all women like this kind of thing?
Anger from Sang Qian +412!
Zuan was somewhat surprised. What was with this sudden surge of anger? Was he jealous that I was more popular than you?
However, he didn't care at all, and even hoped that there would be more of these anger points.
"I wonder what kind of reasoning Young Master Zu wants to have with us?" Sang Hong glanced at the red-robed soldiers behind him and roughly estimated their numbers.
“Sang Qian was injured like a dead dog before,” Zu An said, glancing at Sang Qian deliberately.
"Damn dog?" Sang Qian was so angry that he wanted to draw his sword, but he couldn't find it after several attempts. Then he remembered that it was his wedding day, so how could he possibly carry a weapon?
Anger from Sang Qian +666!
Sang Hong quickly reached out and pressed him down to prevent him from ruining things in a moment of impulsiveness.
Zu An continued, "You begged me to help you save him, and you agreed to many conditions, including no longer being enemies with the Chu family and no longer dealing with them, right?"
Sang Hong smiled slightly: "I think there must be some misunderstanding. I have always admired Lord Mingyue's character and have a good relationship with the Chu family. Why would I deliberately target the Chu family?"
The people around him had strange expressions, thinking to themselves, "This is what it means to lie through your teeth."
Seeing Sang Hong's smiling face, as if he were a kind old man, Zu An cursed him inwardly as an old fox: "No matter how eloquent Lord Sang is, he can't change his promise from back then. After all, he made an oath. You've gone back on your word. Aren't you afraid of divine retribution?"
Sang Hong also stopped smiling: "That's right, I did agree to similar conditions, and I kept my word."
"You didn't break your promise?" Zu An was furious. "Then what about Liu Yao and those Imperial Guards who are investigating now? I've already found out that you bribed Chu Tiesheng to get the Chu family's account books from him, and then used them to frame the Chu family!"
He had always wondered why Sang Hong had not been punished by heaven for breaking his oath.
You should know that since he came into this world, more than one person has talked to him about the contract and oath.
Everyone kept quiet about it, fearing the so-called divine retribution.
Why wasn't Sang Hong punished by heaven?
He didn't know what the mechanism of divine retribution was. He guessed that he had to expose the conspiracy himself and let the world know so that heaven would punish him.
So that's why he came here in such a grand manner today.
Upon hearing his words, the surrounding people were in an uproar. Although everyone in the upper echelons of Mingyue City knew about the conflict between the Sang and Chu families, most of the middle and lower-level families did not know the specific details. Now, upon hearing this, they were both shocked and excited, waiting to see how the Sang family would respond.
Having witnessed so many spectacular events, attending this wedding today was definitely worthwhile.
Sang Hong showed no panic or anger as expected, but replied calmly, "You can calculate for yourself when Chu Tiesheng stole your account books and when you delivered medicine to Qian'er. I promised then that I would no longer target the Chu family, and I have kept that promise these past few days, focusing solely on preparing for my son's wedding. As for General Wei's investigation of the Chu family, it was the son of the Chu family's steward who reported it to the court to avenge his father; it has nothing to do with me."
"Even if there really was a relationship, it happened before I made the oath, so it doesn't conflict with my vow."
As he spoke, a faint smile appeared on Sang Hong's face, as if to say, "You're still too green to mess with me."
Zuan was dumbfounded: Holy crap, is that even possible?
Sang Hong looked at Zu An with a half-smile: "Is Young Master Zu satisfied with this answer?"
Zu An's expression shifted between light and dark, and after a long while, he sighed, "Lord Sang is shrewd and calculating; I truly admire him."
“Young Master Zu, you flatter me. You are still young. With your intelligence and talent, your future is bound to be limitless,” Sang Hong said.
Xie Daoyun, who was standing to the side, was a little surprised. She could sense a strong sense of admiration in the other person's words. Was he trying to win him over?
However, Zu'an felt uneasy upon hearing this, as it clearly implied that he was young and inexperienced.
Thinking that he had always prided himself on his wit and had been setting traps for others, he never expected to fall for their trick.
Putting aside the positions of friend and foe, he admired Sang Hong to some extent. He was shrewd and calculating, and his actions were swift and accurate. The huge Chu family was brought to the brink of destruction by Sang Hong's series of attacks.
At this moment, a voice rang out: "Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, please do as you please, Young Master Zu, and do not delay my daughter's auspicious time."
The speaker was Zheng Yutang, the head of the Zheng family. He glared at Zu An with an unfriendly expression. He had previously witnessed his daughter meeting with Zu An. Although his daughter hadn't said anything, he keenly sensed that there was something going on between the two.
Everyone thought that Zu'an came here because of the Chu family's affairs, but he was worried that it was related to his daughter, so he wanted to get rid of this troublemaker as soon as possible to avoid any unforeseen complications.
This is understandable. Anyone would choose between the son of the prefect and a son-in-law of the Chu family without hesitation.
Besides, the Zheng family and the Sang family are already completely intertwined in every way, so it's impossible for them to be replaced.
Sang Hong laughed instead: "It's alright, if Young Master Zu would like to stay and have a drink at the wedding, we would welcome you."
