In the dead of night. All right. Actually at this time. It's not late yet. It's just that the sky is already dark. In addition, Zhang's Mansion is located in the inner city of Shuntianfu. At night, in addition to the lights in the house. There was no light on the streets. And people are quiet. There was no one on the street. Naturally, there is no hustle and bustle.

Merely. Anyway. At this time, everyone should rest. Merely. Zhang Fan couldn't sleep at all at the moment. His father-in-law, Chen Wenchuan, after dinner. He called Zhaoxue to the room and started talking. Frankly. Zhang Fan wanted to know what the father and daughter were talking about in the room. But Zhang Fan really didn't know what to do.

It's kind of ridiculous. As the commander of the Jinyi Guard. And not to mention the matter of power. Let's just talk about this well-informed ability. I'm afraid that there is no one in the world except Feng Bao who can stand out now. And yet now. He wanted to know what was going on in his home's opinion room. The people in the room were talking about something. But there is no way.

Naturally, it was impossible for him to let the scary people in the house listen to anything. That is very likely to be discovered by Chen Wenchuan. Then it's not very easy to talk in the first place. And it was even more impossible for him to let his spies get to know the news. Not to mention that this is also his family matter. Let your subordinates know about their private affairs. After all, it was not what he hoped for.

But Zhang Fan really wanted to know what was going on inside. I'm very anxious about this. And. What made him feel inappropriate was the most. Originally. In his imagination. After Zhao Xue told Chen Wenchuan what happened. Chen Wenchuan should disagree. or scolding Zhaoxue; And Zhao Xue naturally won't swallow her anger. It's going to cry and make a fuss.

But now. Although no one was there listening. But Zhang Fan is not far away. I really didn't hear any sound. It seems that both father and daughter are talking about this matter "calmly". Of course. This is just a strange idea in Zhang Fan's heart.

So. At this moment, Zhang Fan is sitting in the study. I'm flipping through a book in my hand. Merely. The difference is Zhang Fan on weekdays. No matter what happens. As long as you have a book in hand. He could see it. But now. Fingers are habitually turning the pages of a book. But Zhang Fan's eyes were wandering. I don't know what I'm thinking. But obviously it won't be reading a book.

Now this is the case. It really made Zhang Fan a little worried. After all, this was a little different from the situation he had thought about beforehand. It seemed to him. Chen Wenchuan, who knew about this, would inevitably be very angry. Although it is not uncommon for two sisters to marry one person at the same time. It's not that it's not allow But the Chen family is not in vain. Chen Wenchuan himself is an official. If that's the case. I'm afraid that outsiders will think that Chen Wenchuan is for his official position or something. married both daughters to Zhang Fan. to facilitate his own promotion and wealth. Although Zhang Fan knew that Chen Wenchuan was not this kind of person. But that doesn't mean others don't see it that way. No. As a matter of fact. Zhang Fan understood in his heart. If that happens. That's what the people out there must see. These rumors will inevitably follow.

And Chen Wenchuan's personality. Zhang Fan also understands. He definitely wouldn't want to see that happen.

Therefore, Zhang Fan's heart at the moment is very complicated. True. Speaking as a man. To say that he didn't want that kind of thing at all. That's definitely self-defeating; But as a man. At the same time, he has to take care of the big picture.

At this time. Footsteps came from outside the study. But Zhang Fan, who was thinking about things, didn't notice this voice at all. Still thinking about something outside of the world. Until the door was pushed and there was a sound. This is what brought Zhang Fan back to his senses.

"Father-in-law." I saw that it was Chen Wenchuan coming in. Frankly. This is within Zhang Fan's reason. But it was unexpected.

"Yuande. Sit down. Chen Wenchuan looked kind. said to Zhang Fan, who stood up to greet him. "I'm still reading at this late hour."

"Son-in-law...... Can't sleep. I came here to pass the time. "Zhang Fan is really at this time. Tell the truth. "Actually, it's reading a book. I don't read this book at all. Father-in-law, sit down quickly, too. ”

Nodding. Chen Wenchuan sat on the chair. Just sit down. Chen Wenchuan didn't speak for a long time. He sat there without speaking. Zhang Fan didn't know what to say. Time. The atmosphere in the study had become a little eerie.

It's been a long time. Zhang Fan couldn't stand it in the first place. At this moment. He felt that it was not so uncomfortable to go on. It's better to talk about it.

But just as Zhang Fan was about to speak. Chen Wenchuan spoke first.

"Zhaoxue...... Told me everything. Chen Wenchuan spoke first.

Listen to what Chen Wenchuan said. Zhang Fan swallowed back the words that had just come to his mouth. He looked at Chen Wenchuan. Didn't say anything. Waiting for him to speak.

"It reminds me. They are two sisters. Things to do when I was a kid. Chen Wenchuan didn't talk to Zhang Fan about anything right away. Instead, he talked about the past.

Zhang Fan didn't know what he was going to say. Just watched him quietly. Waiting for him to continue.

"Miss my Chen family. Although it is not a big family. But after all, the ancestors have been officials for generations since they became ancestors. Chen Wenchuan said. So many years down. Ancestors in the family. The highest is only a third-grade official. Or a local official. Speaking of which. I'm also a glorious lintel.

"Our Chen family doesn't have any ancestral teachings. But there is one rule that cannot be violated. That is to be an upright person. Innocent and innocent. Actually, this one. Don't care about anything else. In the end, it just cares about reputation. I don't want others to say what our Chen family says. Or something behind your back. ”

Chen Wenchuan said this. Zhang Fan already understood a little in his heart. Apparently. That's what he meant by that. Reputation is very important. Especially a family like Chen Wenchuan has been an official for generations. And the reputation is very good. And apparently he cares a lot about these things, too. Although there is such a thing as fame. A lot of people scoff at it in their hearts. But people living in this world are obviously inseparable from the word fame. And obviously. Since Chen Wenchuan doesn't want others to criticize him behind his back, the Chen family has anything. Then this matter is obviously not able to be agreed.

Zhang Fan can understand all these things. And this time. His understanding of Chen Wenchuan is also a step deeper. I didn't expect him to talk to him about it in such a gentle way. It feels like it is. He, Chen Wenchuan, is right to Zhang Fan. Frankly. This made Zhang Fan a little unhappy in his heart. After all, this kind of thing. Even Chen Wenchuan was angry. Scream bloody murder. Teach him something. Zhang Fan will not refute anything.

As for Chen Wenchuan himself. Why didn't he understand this? But he's also not the kind of person who will blame others at will. Especially in this matter. Zhang Fan has not done anything wrong. Even Zhang Fan didn't do anything at all. For one, because Zhang Fan is involved. But he was furious with him for doing nothing. Chen Wenchuan really can't do it.

"But. When the mother of Ru Xue and Zhao Xue passed away. She once had something to say to me. Chen Wenchuan continued. Then. She had been terminally ill for days. And I was busy with military affairs. There was no time to go back at all. Even the day she died. I was also in the military on official business. There's no time to go home. I received the news the next day.

"At the time. I felt so remorseful. I really don't have a shame to face the two sisters about this. If they hate me. I simply don't have anything to say. But they didn't. This makes me feel even more sad.

"That day. I remembered what their mother had said to me before. You want me to take them both well. Let them live happily in the future. Naturally, I agreed. But on the day of the funeral. The thought in my heart was even stronger. I swore in my heart at the time. I'm going to do it.

"Since then. Although neither of them ever asked me for anything. Very obedient. But as long as they want something. I definitely don't say a word. Find a way to get them. But there is only one thing. I can't give it to them. Time. The military is busy with official business. Lord Wang himself is also a person who does not care about his family. Plus after being transferred to Northern Xinjiang. It's even more busy, and there's no time left. So. I'm extremely incompetent as a father. Often they can't be by their side.

"But my wish for the two sisters to live happily ever after has never diminished. Not to mention that this is their mother's wish before she dies. They are my daughters after all. Naturally, I want to think of them like this. I'll find them a good husband in the future. This is also a wish.

"Now. Ru Xue is married to you. I finally let go of a big rock in my heart. And now the only thing I'm worried about. It's Zhaoxue. This kid likes to play too much on weekdays. I was in the army for the past two years. I'm also worried about her. But now let her live here. I'm reassured, too.

"Just. Originally, I thought. Do it yourself. Give her what she needs. Even if it is the fulfillment of their mother's wish. But just now. I just found out. I was wrong. Miss by a mile. ”

Zhang Fan listened to Chen Wenchuan's words. Nothing was said. Originally. In his opinion. Chen Wenchuan would say so. There was nothing wrong with it. Everything went according to what he had in mind. But Chen Wenchuan's last sentence came out. Zhang Fan's heart was also confused.

Wrong. What exactly does Chen Wenchuan mean. Something was done wrong. Zhang Fan was a little confused.
