Chapter 867: Unworthy of Her Thoughts, Unworthy of Her Heart

a role, physical fitness is obviously much better.At least this time she walked to the edge of the mountain on her own two legs, without dragging Zongyu's back any longer.It's just a little breathless...Indeed, Fang Jinshu has brought the entire clan to Beijing and hasn't allowed the Mu family or Zong Bai to move about freely in public.

Zhong Pingchuan still thought his frail wife and children were waiting in the mountain village. They were too poor, with no travel permits, to ever make it to Beijing.

He ruined Zong Bai's top scholar status in such a hurry, and paid a huge price for it. Wasn't he afraid that they would come to the capital city and find out that he was still alive

Upon seeing this expression on his face, Zong Bai was both surprised and terrified. Deep in his pupils, fear flickered. An indescribable sense of pleasure surged through him.

And this is just the beginning.

"As a commoner now, is there anything wrong with me working hard to earn my own money"

Zongpingchuan was even more shocked to hear this. He glanced at the sign of Jinshi Mountain Villa and couldn't figure out how he had been mistaken.

"This Zhuangzi, including the Jinshu Cai Zhuang, are all run by you"

If that were really the case, then his son would be incredibly promising.

Zong Bai becoming a champion scholar and entering the imperial service offered him no benefits. He already held a high position, and he didn't need to cultivate another official position for the Zong family to glorify their ancestors.

If Zong Bai were to truly enter the court as an official, he would undoubtedly discover his faked death and remarriage. If he exposed this truth before the Emperor, even if Yuan Buyu was a chancellor, his life would be in danger.

Originally, he had confessed with his own mouth that his wife and children had died in the famine. Only then did the Yuan family agree to give their daughter to him in marriage.

At the Yuan family and the emperor's, his wife and children were long dead.

The moment Zong Pingchuan thought of this, he regained some clarity. Even if Jinxiu Caizhuang truly belonged to Zong Bai, even if he now possessed mountains of gold and silver, he couldn't let him stay in the capital. It would be too dangerous for him!

Zong Pingchuan's face darkened, and he ignored Yuan Xiangli's suspicious look. He grabbed Zong Bai's arm and pulled him aside to speak.

Zong Bai anticipated his move in advance and stepped aside, dodging Zong Pingchuan's hand.

His expression was impassive.

"If my memory serves me right, we at Jinxiu Garden haven't sent an invitation to Lord Zong's residence. Is Lord Zong here unannounced then"

When Yuan Xiangli heard the words "unwelcome guest," her face flushed slightly.

The entrance of Jinshu Mountain Villa is now the busiest time, with officials and some high-ranking families almost all knowing this couple. Just by the name Yuan Buyu, they wouldn't even dare to linger at the door and watch Yuan Xiangli's joke, even if they wanted to.

But not everyone who came to the banquet today was like that. Fang Jinshi also invited some well-known merchants.

Therefore, the doorway was not short of people watching the excitement.

And those who wanted to see the gossip about these high-ranking officials and noble families sent their own inconspicuous servants in to inquire about the situation.

Therefore, the door was not only crowded but also increasingly so.

Could Yuan Xiangli not blush With her status, when would she ever attend a banquet and be stopped at the door by an unknown nobody who claimed they weren't invited

All the banquets in the entire city used to clamor for her presence.

Today, I really lost all face!

Yuan Xiangli turned away angrily, but as soon as she took a step, she thought of her critically ill youngest son.

So he gritted his teeth and swallowed, forcing himself to hold it in. He turned back with a cold face.

Zong Bai didn't even give Zong Pingchuan's companion a glance. He knew it was this woman and her father who had taken away the husband that rightfully belonged to his mother.

Even if Zong Pingchuan is a lump of coal slag, it's coal slag with his mother's name on it. Before his mother decides to throw it away, who does this woman have the right to forcefully pick it up and occupy it

"Boy, my father is the current chief minister, and my husband is a high-ranking official of the third rank in the court."

"For me to come to this humble little mountain lodge is already giving you face. You are blocking my way Don't you know that if this place stays open depends on me"

Yuan Xiangli's eyes flashed with a cruel and cold light.

Zong Bai's eyes flashed slightly. He really wanted these dog men and women to lose face in front of everyone right now, letting everyone know what kind of despicable conduct they had.

But before going out, his sister-in-law repeatedly warned him not to be impulsive and to definitely let Zongpingchuan and the others come in.

This pair of dogs should be utterly humiliated, their reputation ruined beyond repair.

The sister-in-law's purpose is to let her mother see clearly what kind of man she entrusted her life to, the man she waited for so many years. He is not worthy of her remembrance, nor is he worth her sadness. her work, he couldn't refuse her in front of so many villagers.I'll just have to bear it for now and not say anything.Those few people with special circumstances, considering that they all signed the...
