Chapter 319 Zong Zhao has a good temper

Zong Zhao's clothes were also prepared by the old lady.

It must be said that when it comes to making clothes, the old lady is both enthusiastic and skilled at it. Since Zong Zhao only likes black, she managed to make patterns on the black clothes.

Xu Wan tried to remember the words "black clothes" and "black gauze" that came out of the old lady's mouth for a long time but still couldn't tell them apart. At a glance, the fancy clothes were straight black, dark black, gauze black, bright black...

What was even more exaggerated was that all those dozens of outfits were made as couples based on her clothes, with the same patterns and patterns. Even if she didn't deserve to wear white clothes, the style of her clothes would make it clear that they were a couple.

"Oh my God..." Xu Wan was shocked.

It was another day for her to broaden her horizons by following the old lady.

The day of the full moon banquet.

Due to Zong Jincheng's strong request, the three of them rode in one carriage, and the other four kids rode in another.

With the little devil around, Xu Wan listened to him chattering comfortably. Sometimes he boasted about how well he had studied, and sometimes he held his heart to express how happy he was now. Xu Wan did not know whether to laugh or cry, and sometimes she burst into laughter.

However, Zong Jincheng was also a shrewd person. After making trouble with Xu Wan for a while, he went to make trouble with Zong Zhao.

Zong Zhao seemed to have a good temper and he was not impatient with the talkative little devil. He basically answered every question and was soon led to join the group chat of three people.

Zong Jincheng asked, "Dad, the seats for men and women are separate. In the past, because I was young, I could sit with my mother. Now that you are back, do I have to sit with you? What about my mother? She will be alone now."

Xu Wan was startled and looked at Zong Zhao.

The old lady actually received the invitation. Although she said that no one would dare not invite her in the future, she was old after all and didn't like to join in such a commotion, so she declined it.

Zong Zhao thought for a moment and said, "You go sit with your mother first. After I take care of the Yan family's affairs, your second aunt will be able to accompany you out."

Zong Jincheng was delighted when he heard this: "Hehe, great! I love sitting with my mother the most, and I can also help her to deal with bad women!"

"Bad woman?" Zong Zhao frowned.

Zong Jincheng nodded repeatedly: "She is my mother's younger sister. She always bullies me openly or secretly. One time, I..."

Xu Wan covered his mouth and smiled awkwardly: "My little sister is not sensible, it's not that serious. I haven't seen her for a long time."

She didn't want to get involved in the mess in her family, so she decided not to tell Zong Zhao about it, lest he get upset.

The little devil had his mouth covered and he struggled and howled, but Xu Wan was experienced in suppressing him and subdued him in a few moves.

Zong Zhao said calmly, "I met Minister Xu at the Dali Temple a few days ago."

"Ah? My dad?" Xu Wan didn't pay attention to his address and asked quickly, "Did you meet by chance? What did he tell you? Did he want you to help him do something?"

Xu Shangshu is a selfish person. Before Zong Zhao came back, he just thought he didn't have this daughter and didn't care how she lived in the mansion. Now that Zong Zhao has come back, he came over eagerly, and it was obvious that he had bad intentions.

But after all, he was her biological father in name only, so she couldn't just say to her husband whom she didn't know very well: Don't treat him as your father-in-law, he's not a good person.

Zong Zhao replied, "I was investigating a case at the Dali Temple at the time and didn't have time to talk to him."

"Oh," Xu Wan breathed a sigh of relief, "Then you should continue to be busy, and don't worry about him... Oh no, I mean, don't pay too much attention to him. If he wants to ask you for something private, you must not agree. Our family does not seek wealth and honor, but we seek a clear conscience."

"Pfft..." The little devil was the first to burst out laughing.

He still remembered that his mother had asked Cui Liu to almost smash Minister Xu's head.

Xu Wan glared at him immediately.

Zong Jincheng quickly followed suit and said, "Yes, mother is right. We must be upright people and must not bend the law for personal gain!"

Zong Zhao looked at the smiles of the mother and son, and felt warm in his heart. He recalled the question he asked when he saw her again that night, and it seemed that he had the answer:

Long time no see, I hope you are doing well now.

Arrived at General Qi's residence.

Xu Wan gave the two of them some instructions in the carriage, especially to Zong Zhao, telling him not to show any partiality to his father, sister, brother-in-law and others because of his relationship.

After getting off the carriage, Zong Jincheng followed Xu Wan and skipped into the mansion. General Qi's mansion was bustling today, and everyone inside and outside was in a festive mood.

They handed over their name tags and walked toward the courtyard, where they heard people talking:

"That's Zong Zhao. He is indeed worthy of being the great general who terrorizes the Western Territory. He is handsome and has an extraordinary temperament."

"I heard that when General Zong first won the first place in both civil and military examinations, matchmakers in the capital were almost knocking down the door of his house. Unfortunately, the Zong family said that he was too young and had no plans to marry. As a result, when they saw him again, he already had a wife and children."

"You were just talking about this. When Minister Xu's daughter married into the Marquis' Mansion, she was laughed at by the whole capital for a long time. Who would have thought that once General Zong came back, she and the entire Shangshu Mansion would rise with him."

"I heard that the Duke of Jin also relied on their marriage relationship with General Zong to brag about the deep sisterly love between their daughter-in-law and Madam Zong."

“…”

Xu Wan inevitably heard these words. She sighed silently in her heart. What she was worried about finally happened.

In the past, Xu Lian'er wanted to take advantage of her to gain status and position in her husband's family. At that time, she was glad that Zong Zhao was not at home, and there was nothing to take advantage of in their Yuanyang Marquis Mansion.

Now, as soon as Zong Zhao comes back, the Duke of Jin's Mansion is the first to want to take advantage of him.

My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!

Xu Wan was almost suffocating, and she really wanted to shout to everyone: Who has a deep sisterly relationship with her? Please don’t take advantage of her!

Fantasy is beautiful, reality is cruel.

While Xu Wan was complaining in her heart, Chen Yunyu and Xu Lian'er came towards her, making her even more frustrated.

This haunted couple.

"Sister, brother-in-law, everything is fine." Xu Lian'er was in high spirits, and her attitude towards Xu Wan also improved a lot.

Zong Jincheng sighed beside him and said, "Pretending."

Xu Wan silently gave him a thumbs up in her heart.

Children are better. They can use innocent words to smooth things over when scolding others.

When Zong Jincheng said this, others were surprised. They found that the relationship between the Duke of Jin's Mansion and General Zong's Mansion was not as good as the Duke of Jin's Mansion appeared to be.

Xu Lian'er's smile became even more fake: "Jincheng, look at you, why are you so vindictive? Didn't your aunt just make you unhappy last time? After such a long time, you still haven't forgiven me. Then can I apologize to you?"

While Xu Lian'er was apologizing, Chen Yunyu kept staring at Xu Wan. The woman he had always wanted to get was now out of his reach because of Zong Zhao's return, and the entire Duke of Jin's Mansion was still thinking about taking advantage of the relationship with Zong Zhao. He was so angry that he didn't look at Zong Zhao well.

When Xu Wan realized something was wrong, Zong Zhao had already made eye contact with Chen Yunyu.

Chen Yunyu, as always, made her feel annoyed, but he didn't say anything unpleasant.

Xu Wan felt that based on her recent understanding of Zong Zhao, although Zong Zhao didn't talk much, he had a good temper and would probably ignore Chen Yunyu.

Who knows, the next moment.

Zong Zhao kicked Chen Yunyu into the river.
