hem for me."Fang Jinxiu wrote the prescription quickly and skillfully, speaking so fast that the shopkeeper couldn't even remember it clearly."Wait, could you say that again"He listened, how did he fe..."What does this mean"

"Boss, how could he just leave us here Where are we"

Zongping first soothed his mother.

"Mother, don't worry. Grand Ministers are powerful, and it's normal for their families to look down on others."

"I used to work for the prime minister, and Pingchuan is their son-in-law. How could he abandon us here"

Then he turned around and saw a house behind him, and the door was open.

"Mother, look, your younger sister must have gone in first."

"Look at your second brother, after marrying the daughter of a prime minister he's become very wealthy. He has one house after another, just that one we saw earlier is worth a fortune."

"You can just wait for a good life from now on."

When Old Madam Wu was coaxed by her son like that, she immediately beamed with joy.

After just a glance at the house before her, she suddenly frowned and shook her head, her tone filled with dissatisfaction.

"Look here, this place is much smaller than the last house. And the door looks dingy with cobwebs on top."

"It looked like an abandoned house."

"This can't be possible," Zong Pingkang said hurriedly, "Kyoto is a place where every inch of land is valuable. Who would let such a good house go to waste"

“This, you shouldn't judge it by its appearance. It might be good on the inside.”

"Why don't we go in and have a look The second brother should be inside."

When Old Lady Wu heard that she could finally see her second son, she was obviously excited. She hadn't seen her second son in many years.

The two hurried into the room.

As soon as they stepped inside, their face paled. The further they went, the worse their expression became.

The spiderwebs and dust outside weren't that bad, but inside it was much worse. There were weeds everywhere in the yard, and the only thing that didn't look dilapidated was the house itself.

There are some minor details, the wood has slight decay cracks, and the paint has peeled off considerably.

As for dust, needless to say, it's everywhere and quite thick.

Madam Wu was about to faint.

"This, this doesn't look like a place where people live at all, it's more like a haunted house!"

"Boss, you, you quickly find the second brother, ask what's going on."

Zongpingkang was getting a little anxious. What did the steward of the chancellor's household mean by bringing them all here Wasn't he supposed to bring them to see the second son

"Okay, Mother, don't worry for now. I'll go find the second son."

Old Mrs. Wu didn't dare to stay alone, so she grabbed Zongping Kang and went with him to find her.

Finally, the two found Zong Pingchuan in a courtyard that looked slightly cleaner. The door to one of the rooms was open, and voices could be heard coming from inside.

"Mother, over here."

"I heard Second Brother's voice."

"Second Brother! Is that you inside"

Even before he entered, Zong Ping's voice could be heard from afar.

Sōng Píngchuan lay in bed, his brow furrowed. Yuán Xiānglì was crying by his bedside, her face streaked with tears.

"How did they get here"

"My father arranged it," Yuan Xiangli replied.

Zongpingchuan coughed violently with excitement, his cough so intense that his whole body trembled.

Yuan Xiangli saw this and hurriedly supported the person against her own body, then kicked the little eunuch kneeling beside her.

"You blind fool, don't you see the old master coughing Quickly pour some water!"

The little servant's face was filled with terror as he nodded repeatedly and hurried to fetch water.

The whole house, only this courtyard can live in people. The staff from the prime minister's mansion also sent some simple necessities of life over, there is a teapot, but there is no water inside.

The maidservant lifted it up and shook it, realizing it was empty.

"Husband, wife, there's no water here."

Yuan Xiangli was furious. What kind of idiot had been assigned to take care of Pingchuan Couldn't they even do that right

"If you don't have water, go find some outside! Bring it in hot!"

The maidservant, carrying a teapot, hurried out and almost bumped into Madam Wu who had just entered. Zong Pingkang kicked her to the ground with one foot.

"Damn it, are you blind! If you hit my mother, I'll kill you!"

"Yes, yes, I'm sorry. I won't dare again."

The maidservant hung her head, gripping the teapot in her hands tightly and repeatedly kowtowing to apologize to the two.

Zong Pingkang and Mrs. Wu were eager to see the second son, while the servant boy managed to escape unscathed.

As soon as the two stepped through the door, the young servant's fearful expression vanished in an instant, replaced by a cold indifference. Even their departing steps became lighter and more graceful, unlike the clumsy gait they had just displayed.

"Younger brother."

"Flatland!"

When Old Mrs. Wu saw her son, the first thing she did was rush over and cry, crying so sincerely.

Those who don't know their relationship would think they have a really deep mother-son bond.

Zong Pingchuan's face had just been pale, but after a cough, his face actually turned slightly ruddy, not letting the two people see that he was very weak.

Zongping Kang only politely exchanged a few pleasantries with him before getting straight to the point.

"Second brother, what's the story with this mansion"

"That's right, second brother. Even if you aren't a high official anymore, you wouldn't live here, would you"

"After being in such a high position for so many years, you didn't take any kickbacks at all"

Old Mrs. Wu's words were much more direct and blunt than her son's. Since these two men were both her sons, she was the eldest, and didn't think there was anything she needed to hide or be afraid to say.

Zongpingchuan was very uncomfortable hearing his mother speak like that, but he knew this was just his family, crude, ignorant, selfish, and greedy.

"Mother, let's talk about these things later, shall we"

"I also have something to ask you."

Mrs. Wu and her eldest son looked at each other, Zongping Kang nodded.

"Alright, you ask."

"What are your intentions for coming to the capital city"

Yuan Xiangli was also very concerned about this issue. Could Zongpingkang and this old woman plan to live in the capital permanently

Relying on them

The moment the thought crossed her mind, good wouldn't be effective and bad would be right on cue, Zong Pingkang said in a matter-of-fact tone.

"Since we're a family, of course we should live together."

"You, the second son, wouldn't know about all the changes that have happened at home these years."

"Your sister-in-law is gone, and Tiger has also been brainwashed by Fang Jinshi, that is your eldest daughter-in-law. Now he doesn't even recognize me as his biological father."

"Now Huzi only listens to her and Zongyu, your wife." Mentioning Mu shi, Zongpingkang still subconsciously thought of her as his own sister-in-law. He glanced at Yuan Xiangli, whose face was very unpleasant, and smiled before changing his words.

"The Mus family's three children are really impressive, each one more successful than the last. They've made a lot of money and even built a large mansion in the village."

"Now our village isn't called Wild Village anymore, all the land in the village belongs to Jinxiu Mountain Villa."

"All the villagers were also helping Fang Jinshu and your family's Zongyu with their work."

It's a pity that all of your children are white-eyed wolves, heartless things.

"They drove their father to death, and even your sister-in-law was indirectly killed because of them!"

"If I had to say the most hateful and the one who has impacted our family the most, it would be Fang Jinshui. Ever since she appeared in the village, everything in our house changed, including Mu Shi and your three children."

When Mrs. Wu heard the name Fang Jinshu, she was so furious that her teeth chattered.

"Yes! It's that little wretch who is most hateful, how can she still be alive!"

As soon as Yuan Xiangli thought of her son and daughter's current situation, she too felt a surge of hatred towards the other party.

She難得地讚同了這兩句話。
