Chapter 261: Finding Someone to Settle the Score (2)
The proprietress of a stall left as soon as she said she would. After walking a few steps, she turned back and told her husband to cover the things on the stall, then quickly followed the others.
On this side, Zhang Guanghong has already asked someone to knock on the door.
"Bang bang bang!"
There was a loud knock on the door, and the sound was full of hostility, which made the servant inside frown slightly.
After much hesitation, he decided to open the door and take a look.
The door had just been opened a crack when someone outside pushed it hard. Under the huge force, the servant couldn't hold the door and was so shocked that he staggered back several steps.
The servant was so angry that he shouted without even seeing the situation clearly: "Who dares to come to my house and make trouble?"
Zhang Guanghong walked in with a cold sneer, and Butler Zhong followed closely behind him, saying sternly: "Open your dog eyes and take a good look at who my master is!"
The servant steadied himself and when he looked up he saw Zhang Guanghong with a stern face and a group of people behind him. He was immediately frightened and changed his expression immediately.
He smiled apologetically and said, "So it's Master Zhang. I was blind just now and didn't see clearly that it was Master Zhang and Butler Zhong. I just don't know why you two came to visit?"
"Oh, what's the matter? Why don't you go ask your master and you'll know? Let them out quickly, my patience is limited!"
The servant's smile froze and he felt a little embarrassed.
It was obvious from the rich man Zhang that this person came with bad intentions. If he went back to report, his master would definitely judge him for failing to do his job well and asked why he let the person in so easily.
But now that everyone has come in, it seems impossible for him not to go.
In just a few seconds, the servant's mind started to stir.
So after considering it, he said humbly, "Master Zhang, please wait a moment, I will go and inform you."
"Tell them that if they don't come out, I, Zhang, will be waiting here. I want to see who dares to play dirty tricks on me. And remember to bring the servant named A Quan with you."
After Zhang Guanghong finished speaking, he didn't even look at the boy. He raised his hand and waved, and A Guang and the other three were escorted inside and knelt down together.
When the servant saw this, he realized that the situation was more serious than he had imagined, so he ran off to report it.
In the back garden, Zhao Xier was grinding flower petals, while Gu Wenlang, with a bruised face, was holding a book in one hand and talking to her with a smile in his eyes, when suddenly they heard the chattering voice of a servant.
"My young lady, my husband, something bad has happened! Mr. Zhang from the mansion next door suddenly showed up with a bunch of servants, and they all stood at the door and refused to leave! They even said they had to see my young lady, my husband!"
Zhao Xier was about to yell, but when she heard Mr. Zhang from the neighboring mansion, her eyebrows jumped suddenly and she almost hit her hand with the pestle.
"Mr. Zhang next door? I remember that our family has no dealings with him. What does he mean by making such a scene?"
Zhao Xier was still wondering if the other party had discovered something and came to her house, so Gu Wenlang asked with a frown.
The servant hesitated for a moment before he stammered, "Master Zhang said that he said something that would harm him. In addition to asking the son-in-law and the young lady to leave, he also... asked them to bring Ah Quan with them to watch. He has bad intentions."
Zhao Xier, who was certain that the other party was here to call for punishment, lowered her eyes, her eyes darkened, and then said to the servant: "Tell him that we are not feeling well and don't want to see you."
After Zhao Xier finished speaking, she thought the servant would reply immediately, but she saw him standing there stupidly. She couldn't help but frowned and asked, "Why are you still standing there?"
The servant felt bitter, but he had to be frank: "Miss, it's not that I don't want to, but that Mr. Zhang has brought more than a dozen people, all holding wooden sticks, and has rushed in. He also threatened that if he doesn't see Miss and the son-in-law, he will not leave."
Gu Wenlang put down the book immediately upon hearing this, stood up and said with a stern brow: "Master Zhang is acting so recklessly and trespassing into someone else's house. Does he still have the law in his eyes?"
Then he turned to look at Zhao Xier who looked unhappy, "Xier, I see you don't look very well, why don't you stay here first, I will go meet him."
When Zhao Xier saw that Gu Wenlang was going, she felt very confused, but she still wanted to persuade him not to go.
"Wait, husband, don't go."
"Don't worry, Xi'er. I don't think he would dare to do anything to me."
"But...how about this, why don't we invite him in?" Knowing that she couldn't convince the man, Zhao Xier could only compromise and change her words.
Gu Wenlang paused, thought about his face, and agreed with her. He said to the servant, "Do as the young lady says."
Seeing that his master had made up his mind, the servant had no choice but to go back and tell his master. As expected, he was ruthlessly rejected by Zhang Guanghong.
Secondly, Butler Zhong started to complain, rubbing his eyes and crying, saying that his young master was born with a miserable life, and in the end he was thrown into the countryside and almost lost his life.
Once these words were spoken, what else could the people blocking the gate and watching from outside have trouble understanding?
It turns out that the disappearance of the young master of the Zhang family was caused by this family. No wonder the rich man Zhang was so angry and came directly to the door with the servant who was in trouble.
"Hey, what deep hatred do you think this family has with Mr. Zhang? How dare they touch the young master of the Zhang family?"
"How should I know? But I heard that this family seemed to have just moved in, and they came here to look for relatives."
"Then they have nothing to do with each other. Why did you provoke the Zhang family? Not only did you provoke them, but you also touched their treasure."
"Just wait and see. I don't think Mr. Zhang will give up."
It has to be said that Steward Zhong's tearful crying made these people even more curious about why this family wanted to target Young Master Zhang. They all turned into wild beasts in a melon field, with golden light in their eyes.
The servant was sweating profusely and didn't know what to do. Finally, he had no choice but to run back to report.
"Young Master Zhang? You mean that idiot? When did we ever do this? No, I have to go meet Master Zhang to stop him from talking nonsense."
Gu Wenlang looked annoyed and walked straight out after he finished speaking. Zhao Xier, who hadn't thought of a countermeasure yet, wanted to stop him but couldn't, and the servant asked a very ignorant question.
"Miss, do you want to call Ah Quan?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xier's eyes instantly turned into blades and shot towards him viciously, causing the servant to tremble all over.
"You, go tell Ah Quan to go from the back and not come back home anytime soon."
"Ah?" The servant was a little confused.
"Go quickly!" Zhao Xier said in a low voice unhappily.
"Yes!" the servant replied, and then went to do his job.
Zhao Xier also took a deep breath, straightened her chest, and walked towards the gate.
At this time, Gu Wenlang had already arrived at the gate.
He and Zhang Guanghong looked at each other and then rolled their eyes, looking around in front of them. Seeing that the gate was surrounded by people and there were four people kneeling on the ground inside, he couldn't help but frown.
"I am Gu Wenlang, the master of this mansion. If Master Zhang wants to punish servants who are not doing their job well, he can punish them at home. If they come to my house, it will be fine."
