The marriage contract with Yuwen Clan was like a stone pressing down on ’his heart. It did not obstruct his breathing, but it did make him uncomfortable.

If he could, he wished that he could throw the marriage contract onto the face of Yuwen's family members.

Unfortunately, the Tan Yang and the capital were very far apart, so he could not travel thousands of miles to the capital just for a marriage contract. It’s a pity that he cannot see how they would react if he threw the marriage contract onto their faces.

"Big Brother," Ling Maomao, who was sitting in Ling Zhang's embrace, looked up at him. "Grandfather is calling you."

Ling Zhang immediately regained his senses and looked at Ling Xingzhong.

"You want to clean up the servants in the house?" Ling Xingzhong asked.

Ling Zhang replied: "Your grandson thinks that we are now going against with Jia family and Zhang Chong openly. They must already hate us Ling Family to death, and if they can't do anything to us in public, they would definitely use secret schemes. We should also make some preparations, and we should clean up the in-house servants in case they are paid by our enemies to hurt our family."

Ling Xingzhong nodded with gratitude, "What you say makes sense, then we shall do as you say."

"Yes," Ling Zhang agreed, and then said to Fu Caiwei: "Second Aunt knows the servants in the family the best, at that time, I will ask Second Aunt to guide me."

Fu Caiwei laughed and said: "It's just the arrangement of the servants. Whatever directions you want to give, just tell me, and I will cooperate with you."

Ling Maomao looked up: "I want to help too!"

Ling Zhang looked down at him, "Alright, Mao Mao is the most considerate little boy."

Ling Maomao was praised, he happily revealed a big smile, and was eager to give it a try.

The Big dog A Da laid at Ling Zhang's feet, raised his head and rubbed at the crook of Ling Zhang's knee, moaning in a low voice. It seemed that it also wanted to help out, Ling Zhang reached out and caressed its head a few times.

Then, he continued to talk about a few things. But Ling Zhang and Ling Zhaowen did not mention anything regarding the matter that they prepared to kill Jia Yuanling secretly, to Ling Xingzhong.

Noticing that Ling Zhang still reeked of alcohol, Fu Caiwei asked him to wash up and take a rest.

After Ling Zhang left, Ling Xingzhong changed his tone and said to Ling Zhaowen: "Did Zhang Er suffer any grievances?"

"Even though he wasn't framed by Jia Yuanling, he has always considered Jia Yuanling to be a close friend after all. After suffering such a huge blow this time, he definitely doesn't feel good about it." Ling Zhaowen replied.

Ling Zhaowen did not mention anything about Ling Zhang's dream.

Ling Xingzhong sighed, "Just now, I saw that he had become much more silent, and his eyes had become somewhat gloomy. I hope that he won't be affected too much by this matter."

I'm afraid it's too late. Ling Zhaowen thought that even though he had felt the changes in his nephew the most, he did not feel that it was a bad thing at all. Only if he became stronger can he face the storm that is coming to them.

On the other side, Ling Zhang returned to his own courtyard. Looking at the exquisite layout of the courtyard and the cluster of beautiful flowers, a familiar scene which stayed the same as in his previous life, the six months of the Ling Family's calamity in his previous life seemed to be even longer than the ten-odd years that he had experienced. It was so long that he was almost unable to recognize such peaceful days.

"Young master, you're back!" The moment Ling Zhang stepped into the courtyard, someone welcomed him happily.

Ling Zhang restrained the expression on his face that might have revealed his emotions, and with a grunt, he walked into his own courtyard. He did not rush to wash up, but instead went inside the hall and sat down. “Send me Dong Shan and Dong Song.” He ordered.

"Yes." The person who replied saw that Ling Zhang's face was serious, and was shocked in his heart. He did not dare delay any longer, and turned around to find the two servants.
