Chapter 428_1

"Enough! What is all this quarreling about? The Zhang Family has fallen to such a state, and instead of seeking progress, you're here, bickering endlessly. Not one of you is of any worth!" Family Head Zhang Zhiheng had been silent with a gloomy expression and only scolded angrily after his sons' quarreling became too much to bear. He cast a dissatisfied look at his favored legitimate granddaughter.

"Peilan, this time you truly were a bit reckless. If the only reasons are those you've mentioned, they aren't enough to justify why you sought the involvement of the Fourth Princess. I hope you won't disappoint me. Remember, you're not the only legitimate daughter of the Zhang Family." Although Zhang Zhiheng's words seemed mild, they carried significant weight, much more so than those of the third eldest Zhang, whose harsh words were no real concern to Zhang Peilan.
