Ling Zhang never thought that Yuwen Tong would invite him to the capital. After all, their relationship had not reached such an extent of harmony.

"It's not appropriate for me to enter the capital with you." Ling Zhang said.

"Why not?" Yuwen Tong looked at him.

Why? Ling Zhang frowned slightly. What was the relationship between him and Yuwen Tong?

In this lifetime, Yuwen Tong came to the Tan Yang, and told him that he still remembered the favor he owed and was willing to help the Ling Family. He was very grateful, but other than that, all that was left was the awkward relationship they had regarding the engagement.

Ling Zhang turned his head, he did not look at Yuwen Tong, "Let's talk about these things later."

Once Zhang Chong was settled, he would go to the Heaven Realm where he could.

Yuwen Tong's gaze darkened slightly. The attitude that Ling Zhang took a step back meant that he was not willing to return to the capital with him. What exactly was the reason that caused Ling Zhang's attitude towards him to soften?

Ling Xingzhong was becoming more and more satisfied with the feast that was held in antechamber at night, and even Ling Zhaowen's attitude became a lot more casual.

Because Yuwen Tong had told him the story of the Marshal Yuwen, Ling Maomao was now shouting at him like a Big Brother Yu, even wanting to sit next to him. Unfortunately, he was scolded by his father.

Ling Zhang was the least talkative. Ling Zhaowen glanced at him, signalling him not to talk too much with his eyes. However, Ling Zhang pretended not to see it.

Ling Zhaowen was a little helpless.

Yuwen Tong glanced at Ling Zhang, his expression did not change, but his gaze became much deeper.

"Zhang Er, what are you thinking? Tell me about it." After dinner, Ling Xingzhong called Ling Zhang and Ling Zhaowen over to his courtyard and asked them how he saw the marriage agreement between him and Yuwen Tong.

"Grandfather, I still want to end the engagement." Ling Zhang said.

"Why? Grandpa saw that you and him got along pretty well these few days." Ling Xingzhong said.

"I can regard him as big brother, but that does not mean that I must marry him. Grandfather, didn't we already say it earlier, why are you supporting me marrying Yuwen Tong now?" When Ling Zhang said till here, his tone already became a little gloomy.

Seeing that he was angry, Ling Xingzhong was a little surprised: "Zhang Er, you … You don't like him that much? "

Don't like Yuwen Tong? Ling Zhang could not tell what he liked or disliked. He still had not completely put down his grudge with Yuwen Tong, how could he care about whether he liked it or not?

Seeing that Ling Zhang had turned silent, Ling Zhaowen's face did not look too good either, and he said: "Zhang Er, there are some things … It may not be true. "

Ling Zhang's emotions were complicated. Everything Second Uncle had said were just dreams, how could he know that all of these things had really happened?

"Grandfather, Second Uncle, are you so sure that Yuwen Tong is willing to marry me?" Ling Zhang laughed in ridicule.

Ling Xingzhong looked at him in puzzlement, "He still hasn't brought up the matter of annulling the engagement, and is also very familiar with you, isn't this just expressing his stance?"

"That's only your wishful thinking." Ling Zhang said.

"Zhang Er, why are you talking to your grandfather?" Ling Zhaowen said.

Ling Zhang took a deep breath, and looked at Ling Xingzhong and Ling Zhaowen very seriously, "In short, I don't want to continue the engagement. I hope grandfather and Second Uncle will respect my thoughts."

"This …" Ling Xingzhong looked at him for a good while, and finally sighed helplessly, "Forget it, if you are not willing, then Grandfather will not force you. According to the Marshal's words, you still need to stay in the Tan Yang for a period of time, and take advantage of this time to get along with him. If you are still not willing to continue the marriage, Grandfather will definitely ask him."

Ling Zhang was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, thank you grandfather."

His grandfather was still unwilling to give up, but he wouldn't change his mind either.

Yuwen Tong was very close to him now, and was even willing to help him deal with Zhang Chong. He took the initiative to help him clear his meridians, invited him back to the capital, and even said that he wouldn't agree to cancel the engagement.

He also said that he was helping Ling Family to repay a debt of gratitude.

However, in his previous life, the marriage annulment of Yuwen Clan was so straightforward. At that time, Ling Family was in a crisis, and Yuwen Clan did not lend a helping hand.

Therefore, he still had many doubts in his heart right now, so he was unable to understand Yuwen Tong's true thoughts.

Besides, he couldn't care less about marriage matters right now. He just wanted revenge.

"Go back. I heard that you turned off the lights very late these few days to rest. You should rest early today." Ling Xingzhong said.

"Grandson will listen to Grandfather." Ling Zhang said, and then bid farewell to Ling Xingzhong and Ling Zhaowen.

Watching Ling Zhang leave, Ling Zhaowen asked, "Father, if Zhang Er doesn't want to, then forget it."

Ling Xingzhong sighed, "At first, I saw that Yuwen Clan did not say anything, and when they agreed to Zhang Er's proposal to end the engagement, they did not have the intention to, but now that Yuwen Tong is here in Tan Yang, and they think highly of him, if their marriage is successful, it might be a good thing for Zhang Er."

"What do you mean?" Ling Zhaowen did not understand.

"Although you guys are hiding something from me, I am not truly deaf and blind. Our family's situation in the Tan Yang is not that good, if we have the Yuwen Family's support, all these problems can be easily solved. Furthermore, Yuwen Tong is strong enough, he has enough strength to protect Zhang Er. " Ling Xingzhong said.

"Protection? Zhang Er is also a man, I believe he would not want the protection of others. " Ling Zhaowen said.

"Are you stupid? Have you forgotten the background of Zhang Er's mother? If someday, all of this is exposed, a strong shield will be what Zhang Er needs." Ling Xingzhong said.

Ling Zhaowen's expression changed, and said after a long while: "I understand father's hard work."

Ling Xingzhong snorted and said: "Don't think that I don't know that you told Zhang Er about the Yuwen family's engagement. At that time, I didn't want to expose you and you still wanted to tell Zhang Er about his mother behind my back.

Ling Zhaowen looked embarrassed, "Father!"

He really didn't tell Zhang Er about the marriage, but he couldn't tell his father that he was dreaming right?

As for …

"Father, I don't understand why did you stop me at that time, and why is it not good for Zhang Er to know about this. He would have to know this sooner or later, if he had known earlier, he would have been prepared and wouldn't have been caught unprepared in the future." Ling Zhaowen said.

"Hai, let's talk about it later." Ling Xingzhong said.

Ling Zhaowen was helpless, he could not disobey his own father, so he could only give up.

Ling Zhang didn't know what his grandfather and Second Uncle talked about after he left. First, Tao Yi invited his Shang Jing to meet him, and then, Yuwen Tong personally invited him to the capital. Then, his grandfather and the Second Uncle both wanted him and Yuwen Tong to continue the marriage.

Which one of them saw that he liked Yuwen Tong?

Ling Zhang's expression changed as he stood in the courtyard in silence for a long time. Then, he raised his head and looked at the moon above his head.

"Marshal, Ling childe has been standing in his courtyard for a long time." Someone in the bamboo house next door immediately told Yuwen Tong.

Yuwen Tong was quiet for a moment, after dinner, Ling Xingzhong called Ling Zhang and Ling Zhaowen over to have a chat, although he did not personally hear it, but from the way Ling Xingzhong treated him tonight, it was not hard to guess.

"Yao Yi, why do you think that entering the capital with me is inappropriate for him?" Yuwen Tong suddenly asked Yao Yi.

Yao Yi hesitated for a moment, but he, he did not know how to answer this question. After a while, he stuttered: "Perhaps Ling childe feels that he is not very familiar with you?"

Yuwen Tong glanced at him, "Is it not familiar enough that I appear in front of him everyday?"

Yao Yi felt the pressure, "Subordinate, this subordinate is speaking nonsense too."

Yuwen Tong's face immediately darkened, "Then why aren't you simply mute?"

Yao Yi immediately shut his mouth, not daring to say anything else. He felt bitter in his heart, it was obviously the Marshal who wanted to ask him, how could he blame him if he could not answer?

No, what the Marshal meant was that he wanted to bring Ling childe back to the capital to get married?

Was the marshal really going to marry the Ling childe?

Yao Yi immediately became excited, "Marshal, is Ling childe really going to become our Madame Marshal?"

Yuwen Tong paused. Madame Marshal?

That's a good name.

"Do you have any objections?" Yuwen Tong asked coldly.

"Of course not, as long as you like it, Marshal. This subordinate is in favor of it. Besides, Ling childe is good-looking, has good character, treats others amiably, and is not like those noble ladies who look up at the sky. Lord Ling has helped our old marshal, and you guys have an engagement before all of us, so it's good to get married! " Yao Yi immediately said, he did not need to think at all.

Yuwen Tong coldly snorted, barely satisfied.

"Marshal, Ling childe is still standing there. It's colder tonight than yesterday." The person who had just reported in had made another trip.

Yuwen Tong frowned, but he still stood up and left in the end.

Ling Zhang had originally been thinking about his engagement with Yuwen Tong, but after looking at the moon and thinking about many other things, he fell into a daze and forgot where he was.

He only regained his senses when he felt his body heat up.

A cloak was draped over his body.

Turning around, he saw that Yuwen Tong was standing behind him.

"What are you thinking about? You're almost a Full Moon Stone." Yuwen Tong said.

Ling Zhang wanted to return the cape to him, but Yuwen Tong held his hand down, and then said: "Either go back to your room, or put it on for me."

Ling Zhang pursed his lips, turned and walked back to his own room. Because he had stood there for too long, his feet were stiff, and his walking speed was slow.

After standing under the roof, he took off his cape and returned it to Yuwen Tong.

Yuwen Tong glanced at the cape on his hand and took it, "Did your grandfather say something?"

"Nothing, I just suddenly thought of something and became lost in thought. How did you know I was standing in the yard?" Ling Zhang asked.

Yuwen Tong did not answer, but Ling Zhang had already guessed it, and glanced at the neighboring group: "I almost forgot you have a group of powerful guards."

"If it's related to me, I want you to just say it out loud." Yuwen Tong looked at him.

"Will you break off the engagement?" Ling Zhang also looked at him.

As expected, it was related to the marriage agreement. Yuwen Tong thought in his heart, but he quickly replied: "I won't."

Ling Zhang looked at him quietly for a while, "Then what else do you want to ask?"
