Chapter 1027: Given a Chance

e daughter-in-law.Zong Bai went out for a circle, holding a shoe in his hand and hurried back.I saw my older brother sitting in the courtyard."Oh no, Big Brother," he started shouting from afar.Fang J...Zongping Kang hurriedly helped Mrs. Wu up.

"Mother, the good days for our family are still to come."

His younger brother became the son-in-law of a high official, which was a huge stroke of luck. However, during this period, he was kept at the residence of his brother's in-laws. He didn't even get to see his brother's father-in-law, let alone his brother himself.

Zongpingchuan's glorious future today is all thanks to them. Without the whole family's frugal support, could he have achieved what he has

It was time for him to repay his family.

Zhongping Kang supported his mother standing behind the steward, and when he saw Yuan Xiangli, he couldn't be more enthusiastic.

"Brother and sister! It's been a long time."

"Mother, this is Pingchuan's wife, the prime minister's daughter!"

"This is your second daughter-in-law."

Zongping Kang happily bowed his head and introduced to Lady Wu, explaining that while Lady Wu had pretended to be crazy in the countryside, her mental state was not as bad as she made it seem. She simply wasn't as aware of her condition as others were.

If Fang Jinxiu, that little bitch, knew her illness wasn't serious and she could be let off so easily, would she have

After Zongping Kang returned home, he didn't know where he got something for the old lady to eat. After a while, Old Lady Wu's body is now almost as good as before.

She saw that Yuan Xiangli's expression was exactly the same as Zong Ping's, excited, happy, and even a little bit deliberately arrogant. She estimated that it was like putting on airs for her mother-in-law.

"You are Pingchuan's wife now."

As soon as the two people got close, Yuan Xiangli subconsciously frowned and took a quick step back, her disgust almost overflowing from her face.

Old Mrs. Wu also couldn't quite laugh when she saw this.

"Pingkang, how can this second daughter-in-law be so unruly"

"Presumptuous! You old hag, who do you say is out of line"

Yuan Xiangli naturally knew who the two people in front of her were, but she had never taken any of the Zong family members besides Zong Pingchuan seriously. Naturally, she radiated a repulsive aura towards them.

Zong Pingkang knew that Miss Qianjin had a bad temper, and even more so since she was the daughter of a prime minister. He wouldn't hold it against him now, he would wait until he saw his second brother and have a good talk with him about his wife's etiquette issues.

"Mother, my younger sisters probably won't recognize us right away. It's better to wait until we meet our second brother before we say anything."

Mrs. Wu wasn't entirely foolish; she could see that her second daughter-in-law lacked the obedience of Mu Shi. A head-on confrontation would certainly leave her at a disadvantage.

However, no matter how noble a woman's status is, once she marries and enters her husband's family, she must abide by wifely duty and serve her husband and be filial to her mother-in-law.

In the future, she won't be able to knead and flatten him at will, just like how Mu Shi was back then!

"Sister-in-law, you also can't be unreasonable with your mother-in-law. After all, you've been married to my second brother for so many years, she's your mother-in-law, and she holds seniority."

Yuan Xiangli snorted, not taking Zong Pingkang's words to heart at all.

Zong Ping saw her arrogant posture and his eyes darkened immediately, feeling very uncomfortable.

He endured it, feigning nonchalance on his face, and turned to coax Lady Wu onto the carriage.

Yuan Xiangli looked at the housekeeper, filled with anger.

"Who let you bring these people here"

The housekeeper was also helpless.

"Miss, it was the master who sent them."

"Your uncle has been released. The old master asked me to take you to see him."

As soon as she heard the previous sentence, Yuan Xiangli wanted to retort that it was impossible. Her father loved her so much; how could he possibly bring these pickled people to Beijing to annoy her

Even before she was married, her father had said that he would ensure she lived a life where she could have anything she wanted. She wouldn't be controlled by her mother-in-law and even her husband would only treat her with respect.

But hearing the next sentence, Yuan Xiangli's mind buzzed, and she didn't care about anything else. She was stunned for a few seconds before coming to her senses, her expression becoming extremely eager.

Where is Pingchuan

"Hurry, take me there quickly."

The old butler nodded, gesturing for her to get in the car. Yuan Xiangli hesitated for a moment; at the thought of the two unpleasant people inside, she didn't want to go up.

But she couldn't wait to get a carriage again. Pingchuan had been locked up in prison for so long, he must be haggard and pale. She wanted to see him immediately.

She gritted her teeth and stepped up.

Zhongping Kang and Old Lady Wu saw her come up too. The two of them were taken aback but didn't react much. Old Lady Wu remained aloof, acting like a superior.

She would never fawn over her daughter-in-law, no matter how much of a wealthy heiress she was.

Yuan Xiangli got into the carriage and acted as if the two people in front of her didn't exist, not even glancing at them. She only urged the driver to hurry up.

When they reached the private residence in Dongcheng, Yuan Xiangli got out of the carriage and took a look. Her brows furrowed again.

"How did Father place Pingchuan here"

This manor house was bought by her father years ago, but it has always been empty. It can't be said that it's heaven and earth compared to the house she lives in now, but it definitely isn't as comfortable as it is now.

Pingchuan had been locked up in prison for so long, he just needed a comfortable place to recuperate. What do you mean, Father

The old housekeeper replied, "Miss, the fact that your uncle was able to keep his life and be released is because Master owed a favor to the Second Prince."

"The Dali Temple has already recorded the death, so it's not appropriate to pursue further action."

"It's quiet and deserted here. Master also asked me to tell you that one cannot have both fish and bear's paw."

"It's already quite difficult for your uncle to be alive and out of the Dali Temple."

Yuan Xiangli bit her lower lip, "Could it be that Father has no way at all For Pingchuan, there's no chance of reinstatement No, not even a lowly position"

He was full of talent and ambition. He cared so much about his future, and now he could never climb the ranks again. What a blow this must be to Pingchuan!

And from her own perspective, wouldn't that make her the wife of someone who isn't even considered a commoner

No, theoretically speaking, she is already a widow.

Yuan Xiangli was a little hard to accept.

"Miss, you could consider not stepping through that door."

"Your grandfather feels sorry for you, as long as you don't go in, he has ways to make Zongpingchuan sign a divorce agreement. Then you can still be the high and mighty daughter of a prime minister, and no one in the capital would dare look down on you."

As long as Yuan Buyu remains in her position of power, she can forever hold her head high and live the life of a wealthy young lady.

Yuan Xiangli was silent for a moment, then turned to the old butler and shook his head gently.

The old butler let out a sigh.

Miss, you are silly.

The old master ordered him to bring the two people from the ancestral family before her, allowing her to see with her own eyes what the rest of the ancestral family were like. This was also a final warning to the young lady.

If she chooses to leave, she doesn't have to resign herself to living with such people.

"Miss, why are you doing this"

Yuan Xiangli's eyes twitched uncomfortably, trying to hold back her tears.

"I know Dad is doing this for my own good."

"But I can't go back now."

"There's a vast plain in my heart, and I can't let him go."

"Uncle, please tell my father that his daughter is unfilial and has let him down."

After Pingchuan recovers, I will go back and personally apologize to him.

After finishing his words, Yuan Xiangli strode resolutely toward the door of that not-so-grand mansion. The old steward shook his head.

It's too late, the master has already given the young lady a chance.

After they finished speaking, they allowed Zongpingkang to take Wu lao tai out of the car as well.

After kicking the man out of the car, Yearsby said nothing and simply told the driver to leave. The two of them stood there in silence for a long while.lty snack in Lishui Town.Don't look at it as just a piece of flatbread, one piece is more expensive than a package of meat, costing five wen!Fang Dazhu and Wang Xiumei are not generous people, so how...
