pted into the family.But when the news came that General Wu's mansion had been attacked and turned to ruins in the morning, and that Master Wu had died on the spot, he was also stunned. He didn't expe...With Yun Siyu as his confidante, Zhang Xuedao's life became more pleasant. Moreover, he was no longer the powerless young master he had been a year and a half ago. He had begun cultivating his own loyal followers.
Of course, he wouldn't flaunt his relationship with Yun Siyu. After all, he had a fiancee publicly and it wasn't someone he could just abandon. So, when he met with Yun Siyu, he always made excuses and avoided meeting in places where Duan Zongqing's elite troops were present.
There's no wall that wind can't blow through. Even if Zhang Xuetao hid it well, rumors still spread, and even a blurry photo of him on a date with Yun Siyu appeared in a little-known tabloid. It caught people's attention for a while.
However, the small newspaper that reported this story soon closed down, and it was shut down by the police on charges of fabricating news. They used a few blurry photos to write a story, slandering Zhang Shaoshuai's reputation. In the end, the matter just went away.
Zhang Xuedao also received a call from his father. He calmly explained:
"Father, I'm fighting outside. Some people don't like me and got a female reporter to interview me. They said we have a relationship. This is so obvious slander! I won't go on the news again after this once. I've shut down that newspaper already. The woman in the photo was so scared, she ran back home."
“Everything else is fine, but when it comes to women, you must hold back. Before you marry Lian Yi, you must remain chaste. Once you're married, everything will be in your hands. You can bring in as many concubines as you like, and I won't stop you. Even the Duan family wouldn't say anything."
Duanzongqing has no wife, but he does have four concubines. As long as what you do is not excessive and guarantees Duanziri's position as stable, no one has the right to blame you. Remember that
Zhang Fenglin still couldn't rest assured and instructed.
He had his men bring him the newspaper immediately. It was indeed blurry, just a woman's back, and she was walking ahead of her son. There was no intimate interaction between them. He thought it was someone making a mountain out of a molehill, but he still reminded his son about it.
"Father, please rest assured, I have everything under control."
Zhang Xuetao hung up the phone and then embraced Yun Siyu, whose face was pale, in his arms. He coaxed her softly:
Siyu, I know it was my fault. I lost control before and made you feel wronged, but you also know that I can't break off my engagement.
Yun Si's rain-filled eyes were misty, brimming with crystal tears. She looked at Zhang Xue Tao and choked out:
"Xuetao, I truly love you, and I'm willing to be with you. Besides, when I met you, you weren't engaged. It's just fate that has played us this way. However, I will never be your aunt. I wouldn't demean myself like that."
Upon finishing her words, tears like pearls rolled down her cheeks, leaving her looking pitifully distressed.
"What nonsense are you talking about Right now, it's just a matter of necessity. I'm keeping up appearances with this engagement to utilize the Duan family's military power. I had no choice but to hide you away. Didn't you say you wanted to fight side by side with me"
Once we have achieved results, I believe our father will no longer object. Most importantly, I and Duan Lianyi don't have any feelings for each other. I always treat her as my sister. The first time I met her, she was only up to my waist, just a little yellow-haired girl.
Zhang Xuedao reached out to wipe Yun Siyu's tears, then softly comforted her.
"Understood. I'll avoid suspicion in the future, focus on my own duties, establish my own credibility, and help you firmly hold the military's loyalty."
In my heart, you are a truly outstanding young man. Even without relying on nepotism, you could achieve great things. You insist that you need to use the Duan family's army for the marriage alliance, but isn't the Duan family also taking advantage of the Zhang family's power
However, it's just that Duan Jiacong is clever. By proposing a marriage between his only daughter and you, he gets everything. Even if you achieve great success in the future, you must still treat that delicate Miss well. Otherwise, people will say you are ungrateful. They won't say that your two families are mutually beneficial, they will only say that you married Duan Lianyi and gained powerful support.
Before, I never dared to dream of being with you, but now that I am yours, I will definitely make plans for you everywhere. Think about it carefully, is what I say right Then decide how to move forward. I'll always be on your side.”
Yunshiyu finished speaking, wiped her tears, and left Zhang Xuetao's embrace. She walked out of his dressing room.
Zhang Xuetao listened to Yun Siyu's words and also fell into deep thought.
One can only say that Yun Siyu understands men's weaknesses too well. That awkward sense of pride and desire for control, coupled with the delightful feeling of having absolute power, all led Zhang Xuetao to take Yun Siyu's provocative words to heart.
Because deep down, Zhang Xuetao doesn't like hearing others say that he got to where he is today because of women. Especially since he's going to lead the Duan family army in the future, it's estimated that there will be many people in the Duan family army who don't accept him.
He began to ponder how to change this situation, putting himself in an unassailable position. He could smoothly take over the power of the former sect master without causing their backlash, and he could still make the Duan family army continue to support him. A rough plan formed in his mind, and what he needed to do next was to perfect it step by step.
The relationship between Yun Siyu and Zhang Xuetao was crystal clear to the guards around him. It's just that Yun Siyu knew how to behave, never bullying others with her status. Since she was also a key member of the medical rescue department, some people still stood by her side. After all, it was Doctor Yun who was fighting alongside the young master now, not that spoiled little miss.
If ripples could hear these people's thoughts, she would definitely let out a harsh "呸" sound. Are the Duan family's soldiers who charge into battle transparent Isn't it because Zhang Xuetao is the son-in-law of the Duan family that he has all this support
On the other side, Duan Zongqing had received more accurate information from Xia Xin. The photos were not blurry back views but clear images of them entering and exiting together. There was even a detailed record of the time and location of their meeting.
"These two were still worried about our Duan family members behind them, so they both found excuses to leave the camp and go into town to meet secretly. It's just that Yunsiyu doesn't know that we already have someone placed beside her."
Xia Xin drank her tea and said in a cold voice.
Duan Zongqing looked at the photo and shivered all over. Chunxiao, standing beside him, also frowned as she looked at Yunsisiyu's flushed face in the photograph after being nourished by the rain. After putting down the photo, she reached out and patted Duan Zongqing's chest and said:
"Master, please don't get angry! The young miss doesn't have feelings for him anyway. She discovered this cloud silk rain a long time ago. Things are developing in the direction we expected, even more smoothly than anticipated. Please calm down."
"This bastard, he actually dared to put me, Duan Zongqing, in this position! He's so stupid beyond saving. Compared to his old fox father, he's miles behind."
Although Zhang Xuetao's actions were expected, he was still furious when the other party actually did it. was itching to fight this band of space pirates. They were openly provoking their mech unit. If they let these pirates get away, they knew they would be forever shamed and ridiculed.But because of th...
