Mrs. Wu nodded repeatedly.

"Come on, come on! Let's go while the Hóu Mansion is still bustling. If we wait until everyone moves out, it'll be useless for us to cause a scene and make a fuss."

The common people of Beijing couldn't see it, who would come to help them deliver the charge of unfilial piety and disgrace

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, we gotta go now."

Before going out, Zongping Kang suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong now" Old Madam Wu was already impatient.

"No way, just us going won't have much of an effect. We need to bring the second brother along too."

"This isn't right, is it"

"The second brother can't move around freely now, and his wife, that wealthy heiress, didn't she say he was being kept here and couldn't show his face to people casually"

A life of wealth and splendor was right before him. In comparison, the younger brother's trivial matters were insignificant to Zong Pingkang.

"My dear mother, look! They've just abandoned us here, leaving us to our fate. It's clear they intend for us to die."

"It's been so long since the second daughter-in-law has come to bring food and drink. She doesn't care about our lives or deaths, and you still follow her lead and worry about her."

"I'm not doing this for her sake," Old Wu said softly, after a pause. "I'm afraid of the second son."

Lao Er, despite being a piece of flesh that fell from her body, was still her own.

"Alright, no bringing the second son. But if you don't put on a convincing enough pitiful act to get into the Hou's Mansion, don't come crying back to me later!"

Zhongpingkang said that on purpose. His mother had fantasized about the life of a wealthy, aristocratic old woman to the point of madness. The second son was dying right before their eyes, and he still wouldn't hurry up and take advantage of him while he still had breath left!

"Don't go! Maybe we should bring the second one along"

Old Madam Wu was indeed scared. What if she failed She would have to go back to begging for food like this again, enduring the humiliation of relying on others. Those two rotten cabbages on the ground were even acquired through her tantrums and tricks, using every means possible to swindle them from others.

If they don't think of a way out soon, they're really going to starve to death here.

Zong Pingkang twitched the corner of his mouth, "I'm going to go back and deal with Lao Er."

After a while, Zong Pingchuan's weak and breathless voice echoed through the room, "Zong Pingkang, what are you doing Put me down!"

"Let me down!"

Zong Ping frowned, disgusted by the smell on Lao Er's body. Yuan didn't come to tidy him up, Lao Er probably couldn't even manage his own bodily functions.

"With you barely hanging on, what are you struggling for"

"If we succeed today, maybe you could have a clean break for yourself too. And when you leave, you can do it with your head held high."

Hearing these words, Zong Ping felt a sense of foreboding in his heart.

"Where are you taking me"

"Zongping Kang chuckled, "Of course I'll take you to find your wife and son. You're in such a state, how could they not care about you That would be terribly unfilial, wouldn't it"

Zongpingchuan struggled for a few more moments, but Yuan Xiang had already completely given up on him. During this time, he had long since figured it out: He lost his official position and became a pawn. Even though he was still considered the son-in-law of the prime minister, it was just an empty title, utterly useless.

Yuan Buyu wanted to kill him, it was as simple as crushing an ant.

If it weren't for Yuan Xiangli always standing between him and danger, he would have been killed in the prison long ago.

During this time, Yuan Xiangli hadn't come back. He had already mentally prepared himself for being abandoned.

"So he wryly smiled and said, 'Brother, you still should let me go back.'"

Don't bother with that. Even if we went to apologize, she might not forgive us.

The Yuan family's cheapness is not so easy to take advantage of.

He diligently followed Yuan Xiangli as a husband for more than ten years, but in the end, he just discarded her.

She was Yuan Xiang's daughter, and her heart was just as cruel as her father's. If anything wasn't to her liking, she would simply walk away and not care about it at all.

Until this moment, Zong Pingchuan still harbored resentment towards Yuan Xiangli. He suddenly remembered Mu Shi.

If Mu Yunhe were by her side experiencing all this now, she would share both the joys and sorrows, unwavering in her devotion.

None are as heartless and unprincipled as Yuan Xiangli.

Ultimately, it was him who owed Yun He an apology; he had let her down.

"Don't talk nonsense, no one asked them to forgive."

"At least you're married, and you have three children. If that boy ignores you, I'll publicize his unfilial behavior all over the capital. These officials are all afraid of that."

"By then he'll definitely welcome us in politely."

Zong Pingchuan tried every way to persuade his mother and elder brother, but they wouldn't listen. He had no way to resist, so he could only be passively wrapped in a blanket by Zong Pingkang and carried out the door.

When they reached the main street of the officials' residential area, Sōhei noticed something was off and quickly asked,

"This is not the way to Yuan's house, Big Brother. Where are you taking me"

While peering around, Old Mrs. Wu said, "What are you going to Yuan's house for I don't want to see your spoiled and domineering daughter-in-law."

"We're going to the Wuding Marquis Manor now. Old Second, your family's reputation is truly impressive! Your brother is now a marquis."

Zong Pingchuan's mind went blank.

"Wh, what!"

Now that A Yu has become the Marquis of Wuding, then elder brother and the others are going to take him to meet Yun He.

As soon as Zongpingchuan thought of his own paralyzed and filthy appearance, a wave of panic surged within him.

He began to struggle violently.

"No! No, I don't want to go to the Hou Mansion, Big brother, please, take me back!"

How could he possibly let Yun He see him like this He couldn't bear the shame.

Zongpingchuan struggled, and the smell on him wafted out from under the blanket, even stronger, making Zongpingkang almost vomit on the street.

He angrily let go, and Zong Pingchuan rolled to the ground with his blanket. This street had become crowded with onlookers since Wu Hou moved in, people were all around, Zong Pingchuan desperately held onto his blanket, afraid that others would see how dirty his body was underneath it.

And the moment he fell, he felt a sharp pain throughout his entire body, as if his bones were shattering.

"Big brother, what are you doing"

Zhong Ping was angry.

"Second brother, don't you even see what you've become Besides me and mother, who else cares about you"

"I don't know what you're being dramatic about."

"When you get to the Hou residence gate later, you must put on a good show of misery, especially in front of Mu Yunhe. Your younger sister and brother-in-law truly adore you."

"You've been having a carefree time in the capital for over ten years. She was close to death but still refused to give up on coming to the capital to find your remains."

"You said she had such deep feelings for you, could she bear to not feel sorry seeing you like this"

Before he was promoted to a higher position, he only thought that Mu Yunhe exposing his past in public was embarrassing for him. He didn't accept his advances and felt she was overstepping by not letting him enjoy the company of multiple women.

It wasn't until this moment that Zong Pingchuan truly began to regret his actions, especially after hearing the words his elder brother spoke. Even his self-centered older brother could see who was truly sincere towards him, yet he had been blinded by Yuan Xiangli's power and abandoned their mother and son, even allowing them to fend for themselves in the countryside.

Zong Pingchuan fell to the ground, burying his head under the blanket and weeping tears of regret.

"I, I can't possibly face them."

"Please, let me go back and die."

He would rather die than let Yun He see him like this.

He, also, had no face to see her again.eyes, realizing she had been wrong all along.Mistook a person, protected a wrongdoer.Hu Ailan, you let Zhao's mother go, I am unarmed, you catch me.Fang Jinshu walked up to Hu Ailan with her hands rai...
