Chapter 1030, I've actually forgotten what I was origin

t as simple as drinking water. Some people may even take them from a young age with black hair and end up with white hair, still failing to pass.She didn't want her two sons to follow the path of thei...Hearing her husband speak to her, Yuan Xiangli's heart was filled with joy.

Grandmother Wu and Zong Ping were naturally unwilling in their hearts. They had already seen Yuan Xiangli's luxurious mansion before, so how could they willingly live here

But no matter how ugly the two people's expressions were, Yuan Xiangli didn't care. As long as Pingchuan supported her towards them, it was enough.

"Get some rest, I'll bring you something later."

Yuan Xiangli left with her maid, and as soon as she was gone, Lady Wu immediately changed from her previous angry expression and sat beside her eldest son's bed.

Zongpingchuan could tell from his mother's expression what she wanted to say.

"Pingchuan, you can't just let her get away with this! Who would behave like this as a daughter-in-law Not showing respect to her mother-in-law and husband. Look at how arrogant she was just now, not one bit like a wealthy young lady."

"No rules at all."

Anything that disobeyed Lady Wu's words was, in her eyes, out of order.

Zongpingchuan remained expressionless.

"Before, the Mu family was quite obedient to you and looked up to you. Aren't you also dissatisfied with her"

The obedient one is not satisfied, the disobedient one is not satisfied. There is no daughter-in-law in this world who can satisfy her mother-in-law.

Mrs. Wu was taken aback.

"Second brother, how can you speak like that."

Zongping Kang also furrowed his brows, "That's right, Second Brother, how can you speak to our mother like that."

“Don't forget that if it weren't for our frugality back then, supporting your education, you wouldn't have the opportunity to come to the capital and become the son-in-law of a high official's family!”

"That woman, she'll always be an outsider. We are the ones with blood ties, true family!"

He reminded his younger brother of his stance.

Zong Pingchuan could only laugh after hearing this. Who could he rely on now, and who knew better than himself

Could their reason for coming to the capital city be as simple as the fact that they are family

He lifted his head, his eyes cold and fixed on Zong Pingkang.

"But now we all rely on that woman to get a foothold in the capital."

In other words, if she doesn't want to take care of me anymore, we'll immediately not even have a place to live.

Zong Pingchuan now didn't really care what those two people thought. All he wanted was for them not to anger Yuan Xiangli, so that he wouldn't lose even this last straw of hope.

You said it yourself, I naturally know. Even if she's noble, she's still wearing the title of our family's daughter-in-law. Since she's our family's daughter-in-law, she shouldn't act against our mother.

Before Zongping could finish his words, the second brother suddenly started coughing violently again.

This cough just won't stop, it's even worse than before.

Old Mrs. Wu panicked, "This...this, Pingchuan, what's going on"

Zong Pingchuan couldn't utter a single word now. His internal organs ached from coughing, even feeling like he was suffocating. He could only manage to squeeze out a few words haltingly from his throat.

"Water...water, give me water."

Mrs. Wu, having heard this, immediately shouted to her eldest son.

"Pingkang, hurry, go find some water for your brother."

"Hurry up."

zongpingkang stood still, his eyes darkly fixated on his brother who was coughing fitfully on the bed as if he might die the next second.

"Mother, my second brother's body is unwell. Drinking water alone won't help. We need to bring Yuan Xiangli back and have her quickly find a doctor for my second brother."

Mrs. Wu was extremely anxious.

"No matter what, just go quickly! Are you going to watch your younger brother cough himself to death Hurry up!"

A hint of icy mockery flickered across his lips.

If it weren't for the fact that he's still somewhat useful, well, let him die.

For so many years, Zong Pingchuan had been living a life of luxury and ease in the capital city, completely ignoring them. If it weren't for the Mu family coming to the capital city and finding him, they probably wouldn't have had this opportunity to see their younger brother again in their lifetime.

He didn't intend to care about them at all.

When Old Mrs. Wu saw that her eldest son remained still, she turned back and scolded him harshly again.

After Zongpingkang served his time in prison, he looked down on everyone. The only person he still showed some filial piety towards was Wu Laotai, his mother.

"Okay, I'll go get him some water right now."

He angrily turned away and left, looking for the attendant who Yuan Xiangli had sent out earlier to boil water.

This courtyard was no larger than this, and only Zong Pingchuan's courtyard looked like a proper one. He soon found the servant in what seemed to be a kitchen.

Seeing him still clumsily boiling water, he stepped forward and kicked him hard, snarling.

"You useless dog, you can't even boil water properly! Are you lazying around here instead"

"My little brother is about to cough himself to death, and you're just dawdling around here! Hurry up and fill the kettle with hot water for me!"

The little servant was kicked and a bit dazed. After reacting and realizing who it was, he hurriedly bowed his head and apologized repeatedly. Then, he glanced at the pot, which hadn't come to a boil yet, with only lukewarm water inside. His expression hesitated slightly.

"My lord, the water hasn't boiled yet, you can't drink it."

"Master, drinking this hot is bad for your health. Let the servant boil it and cool it before sending it over."

Zongping saw that the young servant was so slow even at a simple task, so he pushed him aside and took matters into his own hands. He scooped a ladleful of water from the pot and poured it into the jug.

What can't be drunk When they were driven to desperation by drought in Xizhou, they even drank muddy water. Didn't they die

The second son had never suffered from drought, yet he couldn't even drink such clean water

A child born from parents, what makes him so precious

"Master, this water isn't boiled enough to drink."

Zongping Kang kicked the person far away with another foot.

"Mind your own business, or I'll make sure you regret ever opening your mouth!"

The little servant was so scared that he trembled. Zongping Kang, after all, had been in prison, and when he was ruthless, his eyes were especially fierce, just looking at him was frightening.

Zong Pingkang scared the person half to death before leaving triumphantly, carrying a pot of water that hadn't even boiled back to Zong Pingchuan's place.

"Here comes the water, Second Brother."

He changed his earlier coldness and personally poured a glass of water to the bedside for Zong Pingchuan.

"Drink slowly."

With this water, Zongpingchuan really felt his throat was much better. He drank two cups of water in one breath, it wasn't cold nor hot, the temperature was just right.

It's the taste of this water, it's so strange.

He weakly asked, "Big brother, where did you get this warm water Why does it taste like rust"

Zongping hurriedly said, "This is the hot water I just boiled for you in the kitchen. I carried it here and kept blowing on it to cool it down so as not to scald you."

"Isn't the temperature just right"

zongpingchuan's body stiffened slightly, hearing that the water was brought over by the eldest brother with his mouth. He felt deeply uncomfortable.

He knew his older brother was displeased with him. He wouldn't spit in his food, would he!

As soon as he thought of this, Zong Pingchuan's face turned ugly and he almost vomited. His body reacted involuntarily and he retched several times.

When Zong Ping saw this, the smile on his face immediately vanished.

He found water for him, and he even complained about it
