The Zhong Family looked somewhat chaotic.
All because of Zhong Wuyan.
Hearing that Zhong Wuyan had actually returned, many members of the Zhong Family wanted to come see her.
Although Zhong Wuming had already made arrangements and even issued orders forbidding anyone from seeing Zhong Wuyan,
the Zhong Family's internal guards could do nothing about it.
Many of those people were elders of the Zhong Family, or people who currently held considerable influence within the family.
The internal guards had all been selected from the Zhong Family. To put it bluntly, they were all members of the same great family and saw one another every day. If these people decided to act unruly, the guards could not stop them.
Zhong Wuming looked at the clansmen gathered around Zhong Wuyan's residence and said, "Everyone, disperse. Wuyan has only just returned, and she is very weak. She needs rest. Granduncle, second uncle, Third Uncle, please take everyone back. Once Wuyan recovers, I'll personally bring her to visit you all."
The old man known as Granduncle said, "Wuming, don't think we don't know that you've confined Wuyan in this courtyard. What are you afraid of? Afraid that her return will affect your position in the family, right? If that's truly what you think, then there's no need. We watched Wuyan grow up. She never had any intention of involving herself in the family business. Besides, she has always respected you, her eldest brother. You're siblings from the same mother. Can't you be more magnanimous?"
Zhong Wuming was left speechless.
His lips moved, but he did not know how to explain himself.
He could only look at me.
Following his gaze, everyone turned to look at me.
Granduncle's gaze at me was especially hostile. He said coldly, "It's you. It must be you, Jiang.
