After I stopped being a lady from a rich family, I fought all over the capital

Chapter 179 Take care of yourself
Patriarch Zhang shut up tactfully, but he was unwilling in his heart.

"I just don't know how to explain to my nephew Song and my niece Xie when I meet them in the underworld a hundred years later."

"At the beginning, I made a promise to them that I would protect their precious daughter and make her worry-free..."

Patriarch Zhang glanced at the prefect of Jingzhao and sighed twice pretending to be sad: "But now, I can only watch Lan Niang marry a man of unknown origin and unknown character."

"How important is a woman's marriage? If she marries the wrong person, won't she waste her whole life?"

"Even if I want to take care of the inner courtyard of the mansion, I can't take care of other people's backyards. I feel really uneasy!"

Patriarch Zhang pretended to look pitiful.

If you don’t know, you might really think how much he cares about Song Lan!

But it was obvious that the prefect of Jingzhao had just made his words very clear, and it was not that old Patriarch Zhang did not understand them.

But he still has to pretend to be pitiful here.

He's a thousand-year-old fox. How could the prefect of Jingzhao not see through his little tricks?
He sneered, "Old man, there's no need to beat around the bush to get my point across."

"I have said everything I should and can say."

Patriarch Zhang felt annoyed that his thoughts had been exposed.

He lowered his head and drank tea to hide his inner unrest.

The gaze he stared at the tea was as sharp as a knife that could cut human flesh.

This old man, the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, is really too good at taking advantage of Qiao'er.

You are totally ungrateful!
Patriarch Zhang was filled with hatred, but he couldn't show it.

He gritted his teeth and slowly digested the anger rising in his heart.

He was just getting angry when he heard the Jingzhao prefect put down his teacup and stood up to say goodbye. Just as he was about to say something, the Jingzhao prefect spoke first, as if kindly reminding him: "The Song family lady has agreed to this marriage! I think she and her future husband must be in love with each other."

"If one party was unwilling, the princess would not force them together knowing that they would become enemies in the future, don't you think so, old man?"

Patriarch Zhang frowned slightly.

"So the old patriarch is really just concerned about the Song family lady's marriage. Why not prepare a generous gift to congratulate her when she gets married?"

"If Madam Song's parents knew about this, I think they would be able to forgive the Zhang family a little."

Patriarch Zhang didn't like to hear this.

His Zhang family did nothing wrong...

"Young Master Zhang poisoned his fiancée. This is a fact."

The prefect of Jingzhao kindly reminded people: "After being caught in the act, he still did not repent and even tried to rape Lady Song. This was also seen and heard by many officials and their wives at the Spring Banquet."

"After that, the Zhang family became even more unscrupulous. They found a bastard and brought him back, and played the trick of replacing the original with the new."

As the Jingzhao prefect said this, he couldn't help but sneer twice.

"Excuse me, old sir, what your Zhang family did was not righteous!"

"Isn't this just treating people like fools?"

"Not to mention that Madam Song is unwilling, even if I, an outsider, heard it, I would feel that your Zhang family is a den of wolves and would not want to have any contact with you."

Patriarch Zhang's expression became even uglier.

"I won't bother you any more."

Jingzhao Prefecture Yin clasped his hands, his expression solemn: "One more reminder, the body of your eldest lady Cui is still missing, old sir, you'd better take care of yourself!"
