Li Hong is a glorious prince in front of outsiders, but in Zhang Zong's eyes, he is a pitiful person. First, his fiancée was raped, but his mother protected the rapist and refused to take revenge. Now this mother wants to kill him and clear the way to achieve her goal of monopolizing power.

"If I met such a mother..." Zhang Zong was frightened by his assumptions. If he were Li Hong, he might have been driven crazy. Even if he was not crazy, he would have to be severely depressed at least.

"What a cruel heart, but unfortunately she is destined to be disappointed!" Li Hong murmured again at this time. Although he said that his heart was dead, he was still a little unwilling to let go, otherwise he would not have come to Zhang Zong to complain.

"This..." Zhang Zong wanted to comfort the other party, but he didn't know what to say. After all, it was the first time he had encountered such a thing in his two lives. Of course, he had heard many stories of mothers and sons fighting each other before, but in his subconscious, this kind of thing has always been very far away from him, but he didn't expect that he actually encountered it now.

"The prince still needs to relax. We cannot choose our own origins, but we can choose our future life!" Zhang Zong finally remembered a chicken soup from later generations and immediately poured it into the other party.

However, this chicken soup is really effective. Li Hong was stunned at first after hearing this, and then seemed to think about this sentence carefully. After a while, he spoke again: "You are right. You are born in the royal family. There are too many things that cannot be controlled by yourself. I can't decide what she does to me, but I can decide what I want to do!"

Li Hong said this and suddenly looked up at Zhang Zong, then grabbed the other party's shoulder with both hands and said heavily: "Zhang Zong, thank you for your words, I woke me up. I already know what to do!"

"Uh? Prince, do you have any plans? Do you really go to Luoyang with His Majesty and the others?" Zhang Zong was stunned for a moment before asking. He didn't know what Li Hong had awakened, but it seemed that it was a good thing now.

"Go! Of course I have to go, but before I go, I will give her a big gift!" Li Hong said hatred again. Since the other party had disregarded the mother and son, he had nothing to worry about.

After Li Hong said this, he hurriedly said goodbye. After Zhang Zong saw him off, he felt relieved. After all, he was not good at comforting people. He really couldn't help with the things Li Hong encountered. As for what to do next, Li Hong had his own ideas.

The next day at noon, Zhang Zong was preparing to eat lunch, but unexpectedly he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door outside. When he opened the door, he found a pair of strange men and women standing outside the door. The man was about the same age as himself, and the woman was wearing a veil and couldn't see her appearance clearly. However, judging from her slim figure, she was probably not old.

"Who are you looking for?" Zhang Zong looked at the other party and asked.

"Are you Zhang Zong?" The man opposite was also looking at Zhang Zong, and then called out his name.

"That's right, you guys..." Zhang Zong was also stunned. The other party could call out his name, but he didn't know the other party at all.

"That's great, I finally found you. I am your cousin Zhang Jing!" The other party came forward and said excitedly.

"Zhang Jing? Cousin?" Zhang Zong frowned when he heard this, and carefully searched Zhang Zong's memory, but found that there was really Zhang Jing's memory.

"Are you... cousin Zhang Jing from Uncle San's family?" Zhang Zong asked with some uncertainty.

Zhang Zong has five fathers and brothers, and Zhang Jingzhi is ranked second, so Zhang Zong has an uncle and three uncles, and a lot of cousins. However, except for Zhang Zong and his son living in the capital, everyone else lives in their hometown in Xiangyang. I remember that when he met Zhang Jing last time, he seemed to be only five or six years old, and his memory was very blurred.

"Yes, last time my second uncle took you back to my hometown, I took you to climb a tree, but you fell from the tree and injured yourself. I was beaten by my uncle!" Zhang Jing said excitedly again, and he also used his childhood to prove his identity.

"I remembered it, please come in quickly!" Zhang Zong finally confirmed the other party's identity and immediately asked the other party to come in and said.

Zhang Jing was also very excited at this time. When he entered the yard, he introduced the woman beside Zhang Zong. Only then did Zhang Zong realize that the woman was Zhang Jing's wife, his cousin's wife.

"Cousin, do you have any food? When we arrived in the capital last night, the city gates were closed and we could only stay outside the city for one night. Today, we went to the city to find you, but we didn't eat lunch until now!" Zhang Jing seemed to be a self-cultivated person, so he came in and spoke directly.

"I just made lunch. If my cousin doesn't dislike it, let's have some first. I'll hold a banquet for you to welcome you to the evening!" Zhang Zong immediately smiled after hearing this.

Zhang Zong remembers that there seemed to be some conflict between his father Zhang Jingzhi and his uncle. Last time he took him back to his hometown, he had a fight with his uncle. However, his uncle was very nice to his nephew, and his cousins ​​such as Zhang Jing were also very intimate. Although many memories were blurred, they were one of the few good memories in Zhang Zong's short life.

"What else does the family hate? We are not familiar with the place when we come to the capital. We may have to bother our cousin during this period!" Zhang Jing said carelessly again.

"Cousin, you are welcome. You can stay here as long as you want!" Zhang Zong said generously, and then invited the couple into the living room, and then brought the lunch himself.

Today, Zhang Zong steamed a few more dishes, and the rice was steamed more. First, he was worried that Xue Shaohui would come, and second, he also planned to make fried rice at night. Now he doesn’t have to worry about not having enough rice. At this time, the cousin’s wife also got the hat and turned out to be a very pretty woman. This also made Zhang Zong sigh that his cousin was very lucky.

However, Zhang Zong was obviously too optimistic, or underestimated the appetite of Zhang Jing and his wife. Zhang Zong usually had to eat at least three or four meals of rice, but unexpectedly, Zhang Jing alone ate half a pot of rice himself, and even the thin and weak cousin next to him, although he tried his best to maintain a little reserve, he still ate two bowls and several dishes of dishes were eaten by the couple, and Zhang Zong didn't eat a few bites at all.

Looking at the hollow plate and the empty bowl, Zhang Zong was sure that Zhang Jing and his wife were definitely not as they said, just not having lunch, but were at least hungry for a few meals. In addition, Zhang Zong also found that although the clothes on Zhang Jing and his wife were clean, they were a little worn. Even Zhang Jing's shoes had a hole in them, but they were covered by a long gown before, so he didn't notice it, and now he sat down and exposed it all at once.

Seeing through but not saying it out loud, this is the cultivation that an adult should have, so Zhang Zong didn't say much at this time, but stood up to clean up the dishes. However, the cousin-in-law on the opposite side cleaned up first and said, "Uncle, chat with your husband, I'll do these things!"

"How can this be done? You cousin-in-law are guests, so how can you let the guests do it?" Zhang Zong hurriedly stopped him.

"Cousin, don't be polite. We want to stay here for a few days, so we can't be considered a guest. In addition, we didn't sleep well last night, so why not take me to clean up the room, and your sister-in-law will clean up these bowls and chopsticks!" Zhang Jing grabbed Zhang Zong at this time, and then took him out of the living room.

Zhang Zong had no choice but to take Zhang Jing to the left room, which is next to the kitchen. This place was originally a guest room, but because it was uninhabited, Zhang Zong piled up some debris. Now he needs to clean up the debris and then lay the bedding on to live in.

"Cousin, why did you and your cousin come to the capital?" Zhang Zong pretended to be very casually while moving things.

"That's right. Last year, my second uncle passed away. Didn't you write a letter to my uncle to report my demise? Because the journey was long, we received it at the beginning of this year. My uncle was very sad about it and even fell seriously ill. After he recovered from the illness, he was worried that you would not be able to deal with it alone, so he sent me to see you." Zhang Jing also answered.

However, Zhang Zong is not a child, and he immediately heard the loophole from Zhang Jing's words. Not to mention anything else, even if the uncle sent Zhang Jing to visit him, there is no need to let Zhang Jing bring his wife, right?

"By the way, my uncle asked me to bring a letter!" Zhang Jing suddenly thought of something when he said this, and immediately reached out to take out a letter from his arms. The envelope contained six big words "My nephew Zhang Zong's close friend" written on it.

Now Zhang Zong opened the letter and read it, and found that it was indeed my uncle's reply. In addition to expressing his grief, the letter was more relieved by Zhang Zong, and even said that if Zhang Zong felt lonely, it would be better to go back to his hometown to live with him.
