Parents are busy farming

Although Old Man Zhang had not received much education, he had lived to such an old age and was very experienced. He quickly understood his son's thoughts and also understood why Zhang Gaoyi did not let Gao Wu stay.

He asked nervously, "Is it because of this reason that your brother and your uncle's family accepted the arrangement of the Ye family girl? Then what are you going to do next?"

Zhang Gaoyi did not answer his father, but just looked at him quietly.

But his silence made Old Man Zhang realize that his guess was correct.

He asked again fearfully: "Son, what are you and the girl from the Ye family going to do? You are now a general, and she is a princess. What else are you not satisfied with?"

Zhang Gaoyi sighed helplessly and said, "It's not what we want to do, but what the emperor wants us to do. Everything we do is in accordance with the emperor's will. We can't avoid this matter, so I let Gao Wu leave the capital to ensure his safety."

Old man Zhang was a little dumbfounded after hearing this. He didn't quite understand the complicated relationship involved in the succession of the throne, but he seemed to understand the protection of Gao Wu by his eldest son and the girl from the Ye family.

He was filled with gratitude for what they both did.

"I will take your mother away from here." Old man Zhang said firmly.

Zhang Gaoyi was about to speak when he was interrupted by Zhang Wangshi. She said, "Where are you taking me? I have food to eat and people to serve me here. It's very good. I'm not going anywhere. I will never live a hard life with you again."

Then she pointed at Zhang Gaoyi and started to curse, "Great! I knew you wouldn't want us old guys anymore after you became rich. You enjoy the glory and wealth by yourself, but you leave your parents aside. Aren't you afraid that God will strike you dead with a thunderbolt, you unfilial thing? If you dare to take us away, I will file a complaint with the emperor."

Zhang Gaoyi's face was extremely gloomy, as if water could drip out of it, but his tone was as calm as water as he responded: "You can file a complaint with the emperor! But do you know where to file it? You don't know, do you? People who sue officials have to roll on the nail board. These are all sung in the opera, mother will not think these are all fake!"

After hearing this, Zhang Wangshi was so angry that her face turned red, veins popped out on her forehead, her eyes widened, and she shouted loudly: "I am your biological mother who gave birth to you!"

Zhang Gaoyi, however, was not afraid at all. He also widened his eyes and shouted at the top of his voice: "I would rather not have you as my mother! I see that you don't want a son like me! You just hold on tightly..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Wang felt that his next words would definitely be unpleasant to the ears, so she interrupted him immediately: "You came out of my belly, this is an unchangeable fact! Give up!"

Zhang Gaoyi snorted coldly, a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said in a cold tone: "Give up? I have given up on you a long time ago. If I hadn't given up, I might have found a rope to hang myself, or starved to death at home one morning, and no one would know."

Zhang Wangshi was most reluctant to hear these words. She angrily retorted: "My family is so poor, what can I do?"

Zhang Gaoyi smiled coldly, his eyes full of sarcasm, and said, "Your family is poor, but you gave the only food you had to Bai Xiangyang. You really care about others! But it's a pity that you don't care about me. I'm just a tool you left in the Zhang family. You only have Bai Xiangyang in your heart. You are his mother, and I am just an outsider."

Old Man Zhang didn't say a word the whole time. He knew in his heart that his son had been resentful of him for a long time, but he never imagined that the resentment was so deep that the seeds had been planted in his son's heart so early on.

At that time, he was only focused on working hard to farm and support his family after having a son, but completely neglected the children at home.

At that time, Zhang Wang was feeling guilty about Bai Xiangyang's affairs, so she naturally focused her attention on Bai Xiangyang and neglected Zhang Gaoyi.

However, he never expected that all this was seen by the young Zhang Gaoyi and deeply hurt his heart.

At this moment, he suddenly understood why Ma Fengchun was so hostile towards them.

"Enough! Stop talking!" Old Man Zhang interrupted loudly, "Gao Yi asked us to leave here for our own good! The capital city is not a place for people like us. Look at how much trouble you have caused here! Have you forgotten where you just came from? Go back to your hometown, at least there is money to rely on, and we don't have to live such a hard life anymore."

Zhang Wangshi didn't take it seriously. She turned her head away and said coldly, "Humph! You two really tried every possible way to stop me from accepting Xiangyang! You are such a man, but you are so narrow-minded."

Zhang Gaoyi just snorted coldly when he heard her say this. He knew she wouldn't believe what he said.

People like her can really disregard danger for the sake of wealth and glory, which is why he would rather use a trick to make them leave than have a deeper conversation with them.

He closed his eyes, stopped talking, and waited quietly.

Old man Zhang was indeed full of helplessness. If he was not worried about Zhang Gaoyi's marriage, he really wanted to go back to his hometown.

Neither the father nor the son spoke, but Zhang Wangshi could not stand this silence.

She wanted to find something to vent her anger on, but facing the silence of the father and son, if she argued, she would be like an unreasonable clown.

So now she is full of resentment and has nowhere to vent it.

Not long after, the person arranged by the housekeeper brought back Bai Xiangyang, who looked very frightened. Before anyone could report back, Bai Xiangyang ran to Zhang Wang and said anxiously, "Mom, I don't know who has taken my wife and child away. What should I do?"

When Zhang Wang heard this, her heart suddenly tightened and a look of horror appeared on her face. She widened her eyes and asked in a trembling voice: "What? How could this happen? Are you sure?"

Bai Xiangyang was so anxious that tears were about to come out. He held Zhang Wang's hand and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Mom, I'm sure! When I went out to look for them just now, I found that they were gone. People around said that they didn't see where they went. The innkeeper said that they were captured by several big men on the day I went to the temple. I was so scared!"

Zhang Wang's heart was in a mess. She held Bai Xiangyang's hand tightly. Her son went to see her that day with wounds all over his body.

Could it be the same group of people? Does that mean that it was the son who caused the trouble and implicated his daughter-in-law and grandson?
