The little sister is a troublemaker

Chapter 344: The poor child in urgent need of his father’s love

Xiao Fengyi came quickly and left quickly, and he was very decisive and swift.

Chu Chenfeng seemed to have become even busier. Except for once or twice in the evening when he took time to visit Li Mulan, he was nowhere to be seen at other times. He was not even in the Regent's Palace. Li Mulan vaguely guessed that something big might be happening quietly.

Li Mulan's fourth and seventh senior brothers have also arrived in Kyoto. Now she is really just waiting for her elusive master.

Today, the most explosive news in Kyoto is the big news from the Minister of Rites’ Mansion.

Zhang Kun, the illegitimate son of Minister of Rites Zhang Zheng, left home to join the army many years ago. He has been gone for several years and there has been no news of him.

He did return home today, but was carried back by someone.

His legs were injured on the battlefield and could not be treated, so they were useless and had to be sent back.

In fact, considering the situation in the Minister of Rites' Mansion, raising a cripple is not a big problem.

However, this bastard happened to make a mistake and was sent back.

It was said that he had been promoted to centurion before, but now, although his life was saved, he lost all his military positions. It was also said that the mistake he made this time was particularly serious, and the regent was very angry because of it.

As a result, the Minister of Rites heard about this and refused to take Zhang Kun back to the palace. After all, he had just been punished with confinement before, and he dared not offend the Regent again this time.

Zhang Kun had been waiting at the door of the Minister of Rites' residence for a whole day. It was almost dark, but the Minister of Rites hadn't even shown up.

At this moment, Zhang Zheng was also having a headache. In this situation, he was really in a dilemma.

After leaving court yesterday, I ran into the chief of the Regent's Palace.

That person thought his nose was not a nose, and his eyes were not eyes. After asking carefully, he found out that it was Zhang Kun, the little beast, who made a mistake in the army and was severely punished by the regent. It was said that both his legs were disabled. Zhang Zheng knew that this bastard was completely finished.

Before he could figure out how to deal with it, this evil creature was sent back with such fanfare.

Guo's face was filled with viciousness. "What are you still doing sitting here? Why don't you drive that little beast out? Are you really going to bring that cripple into your house?"

Zhang Zheng looked impatient, "What's your name? Am I not trying to find a solution?"

"Think of a solution? Humph!" Guo sneered, "What solution can you come up with? Under the current circumstances, Zhang Kun, that little beast, must not enter the palace. Didn't you hear what the people in the Prince Regent's Palace said? He made a big mistake. Although he has been dismissed from his military post, it can be considered a punishment. But the Prince Regent is a moody person. Who knows, he might want to hold you accountable one day."

Zhang Zheng looked displeased. "Do you think the regent is like you, who likes to settle scores later? The punishment has been paid, and the matter is naturally over. It will not involve our family, so you can rest assured."

Guo's mean eyes glared, "Don't worry? Humph, I'm not as careless as you. Anyway, I'm telling you, this scourge is not allowed into the house, let him get out of here as far as possible, and it would be best if he died outside."

Zhang Zheng was too lazy to pay attention to this shrew. He always felt that there was something fishy about this matter.

He heard that the regent treated his adopted granddaughter very well, even if she didn't recognize him as her grandfather. But Zhang Zheng was her uncle, she could disown him, but how could Zhang Ruomei, the ungrateful bastard, bear to do that? She loved her brother the most.

So, considering this relationship, the Regent won't really do anything to Zhang Kun, right?

"Hey, what on earth are you thinking about? Why don't you let the housekeeper chase him away? Do you really want to take him back home and keep him as a pet? I tell you, don't even think about it."

"What are you talking about? I think there is something fishy about this matter."

"Strange? What's strange? I think you can't bear to part with your son."

"Okay, I'm serious. Don't you think this is strange? Zhang Kun is the younger brother of that damned girl Zhang Ruomei, and Li Mulan's uncle. The regent shouldn't act like this based on this relationship. Tell me, is there something wrong here?"

Guo's face was full of displeasure. "That bitch has cut off all ties with you, so why would she care about this brother? What do you want? And what kind of person is the Regent? He is cruel and ruthless, you know that. He married Li Mulan because of Master Li. You don't really think that your cheap granddaughter is some kind of fairy who has bewitched the Regent, do you? Stop daydreaming. That girl's face is ruined, how could she catch the Regent's eye? She just relied on being the granddaughter of Li Cong. The Regent had a special attitude towards Li Cong before, probably because of the former crown prince. But even so, marrying her as the principal wife is a great blessing."

Zhang Zheng snorted coldly, rude, shrew. But her words were not without reason. Chu Chenfeng was not an emotional person, and it was impossible for him to lose sight of the distinction between public and private for Li Mulan.

"If I don't let him into the palace, the people around me... will definitely say that I am cold-blooded and heartless."

Guo looked at him with disdain. Cold-blooded? That's a compliment to you. How can you be more than cold-blooded?

"What? You, Zhang Zheng, still care about this? Don't you forget that when your concubine followed the Li family into exile, you gave them a letter of severance of the relationship. What? Now you care about your reputation?"

"You! Ignorant woman. I killed my own relatives for the greater good. Who allowed Li Cong to commit such a serious crime? I was forced to do that. I had no choice."

"Hmph, stop beating around the bush. I'm telling you, old man, you better go and solve it for me. Otherwise, if I really have to take action, it won't be so good. I don't care what the people will say then." After saying that, Guo turned around and left.

Zhang Zheng was left alone in impotence and rage, but that didn't delay him for long. If he didn't deal with it, it would be dark.

He thought for a moment, then wrote a letter of severance by hand, and asked the housekeeper to invite the elders of the clan over.

After everything was ready, he let the butler open the door.

There were still many people outside the door watching the excitement. Zhang Kun had not drunk a drop of water for the whole day. He was seriously injured, and his face was as pale as a dead person, which was very scary.

“Father…Father.”

Zhang Kun tried hard to get up, but after trying several times, he found that it was useless. He could only continue to lie there, shouting "Dad."

The people who were watching the scene didn't care what mistake Zhang Kun had made. They only knew that he was a weak and poor child who urgently needed his father's care.
