Chapter 1092: This Big Shot Has No Vision at All

en, she doesn't resist them as much.Even when strangers from other villages come, Qianqian still hides directly."Jinxiu, the table is set, come have dinner!"Mu shi called out loudly in the house, "My...Chapter 1092: This Elder Has No Vision at All.

Such an opportunity, Zong Pingkang wouldn't miss it. He wore a look of disgust on his face, but he still reluctantly bundled Zong Pingchuan in the blanket and continued carrying him.

"Take you back Then what about my mother and I for the rest of our lives"

"Today you die here at the gate of Duke Wu Ding's mansion, even if it takes your life."

Mrs. Wu stood silently on the side, though she felt sorry for her second son, when she thought of the glory and wealth of the Hou Mansion, she gritted her teeth and stepped forward to persuade Zong Pingchuan again.

"Second brother, just listen to your elder brother."

"If Yunhe forgives you, it'll be good for you. Going back now, you probably wouldn't even have a coffin if you died."

Zong Pingchuan lay listlessly under the covers, his struggle moments ago having drained him of all his strength. The pain in his body paled in comparison to the ache in his heart.

How could he forget what his mother and elder brother were like How could he possibly give up a life of wealth and glory to satisfy this tiny bit of pride of his

However, given his current relationship with those children and especially with Zong Yu's wife present, their attempt to gain entry into the Hou Mansion through acting pitiful and playing the victim is unlikely to succeed.

Moreover, he had already signed the divorce papers Yun He sent over, and the two of them were no longer husband and wife.

zongpingchuan looked at lao tai wu with cold eyes, and did not say this. Since they treated him like this, why should he remind them kindly

Big brother and mother went to the gate of the Hou Mansion. Even if they made a big fuss, they might not get anything good out of it.

He watched Wu Lao Tai's evasive and guilty gaze, silently closing his eyes.

Zongping Kang saw that he had come clean, and smirked.

"That's right, brother. You better not waste your effort. Today, you cooperate with me and mother to put on a good show at the Hou Mansion gate. Once we get inside, those unfilial sons won't care about you. But I and your mother will definitely see you off."

Now, no matter what Zongping Kang says, Zongping Chuan doesn't want to listen. He can't stop the matter of going to Houfu left and right.

Soon, the three arrived at the door of Hou's residence. Finding Hou's residence was easy; it was the busiest and most crowded house on this street.

The gates of the Hou Mansion were wide open. Yulian, with servants in tow, shuttled back and forth from inside, carrying belongings. They moved so much that even the once-clean bluestone slabs were now covered in dirt.

"Everyone, scrub thoroughly. We want the Marquis and Marchioness to see a spotless manor as soon as they arrive."

Mu Yunhe was terribly bored. With such a big move, her daughter, son, and daughter-in-law were all busy, none of them asked her to do anything. The whole family was bustling about, while she was the only one with nothing to do. Besides wandering aimlessly, she just sat there staring blankly.

She arrived at the door and saw so many people gathered outside. Then she saw her daughter rolling up her sleeves, half of her arms exposed, and frowned.

"Jade Lily."

Mu approached and directly took Yu Lian’s hand to straighten her sleeve.

"Now that you are a young lady of the Hou Mansion, have you forgotten how your sister-in-law instructed you You must always be mindful of your words and actions from now on."

"There are so many people watching outside."

Mu's reminder brought Yu Lian back to her senses. She hastily pulled her sleeves down and smiled sheepishly.

"It was so hot working that I didn't even notice my sleeve rolled up."

Having spent so long with my sister-in-law, I've gradually forgotten about the worldly rules and customs of my maiden family. I've become quite carefree.

"Where is your older brother and sister-in-law Shouldn't Ayou have finished his morning court duty by now"

Jade Lotus nodded in response, "Yes. General Xiao Zhao just arrived and brought a message from the eldest brother saying that he will be coming over later with his sister-in-law."

He must have gone to the villa this morning.

Mu smiled, “That’s great. Your older brother and Jinxiu are just like they used to be now.”

At the entrance of the Hou Mansion, commoners stretched their necks to peek inside through the gate. They saw Zong Yulian and her mother, Mu Shi, standing together whispering and discussing things with great interest.

"Are those Madam Hou and Miss Hou They look so young and beautiful."

"I heard that Marquis Wuding came from the countryside. Logically, his wife and daughters should have also lived in the countryside for a long time, but they don't look like it at all."

"Isn't that right Mrs. Hou looks to be only a few years older than me, how could she really be Marquis Wu Ding's mother" The speaker was a woman of about thirty years old.

Those around burst into laughter.

"You probably don't know this, but my aunt's family does business with Jinshu Mountain Villa and has met with Lady Wuding Hou a few times."

It is said that the wife of Marquis Wuding has a secret beauty recipe, which is how she manages to keep her mother-in-law and younger sister-in-law looking like blooming flowers, their beauty still intact.

"And the head mistress of this Hou Mansion was even the original wife of the former Minister of Revenue!"

When people discussed gossip, it was quite lively, with everyone listening intently.

"Minister of Revenue Is that Mr. Zong, the one who married the Prime Minister's daughter"

"Yeah, yeah, that's him."

"Tsk, Miss Yuan from the Prime Minister's household is infamous throughout Beijing for her arrogance and domineering attitude. She's a complete airhead. While she's not unattractive, she's nowhere near as beautiful as the old madam from the Marquis's mansion here."

"This lord has no vision."

"You're wrong about that. Marrying the daughter of a high official is like working thirty years less, " That person stared at Mu Shi's tranquil and beautiful profile, and the words that followed seemed hard to utter.

"Forget it, with such a good wife and a promising son like Wuding Hou, I wouldn't choose Yuan Xiaojie, that shrew, as my wife."

Those around him scoffed at his naive delusions.

"Do you think you're a former Minister of Revenue Get a grip on reality and look at yourself in the mirror. You're not even good enough for Miss Yuan, let alone the old matriarch of Hou Mansion."

"Hahaha, that's right."

The women were a little annoyed, "Our old madam of the Hou Mansion doesn't need you men to speak for her. Our old madam wants to be beautiful on her own! She's such a good wife, she will definitely find her own worthy man."

"Yeah, a power-hungry jerk like him doesn't deserve our dear old madam. The separation between the old madam and him is right, the old madam did a great job!"

Just then, Zongping Kang walked to the back of the crowd, wheezing and panting. In a daze, he heard something about parting ways.

"Mother, what are these people chattering about What's with the divorce"

Old Mrs. Wu walked at the back and couldn't hear clearly.

As for Zong Pingchuan on his back, he heard the people's words clearly. Recalling past events, he felt ashamed and utterly remorseful.

Once he escaped the mire of power and his mind cleared, Zong Pingchuan felt increasingly ashamed of what he had done over the years to his four mothers.

The children hated him, and he deserved it. He wasn't worthy of Yunhe's love for him.

"It's nothing, people just gossip about trivial matters of others," Zong Pingchuan stopped Zong Pingkang from asking further.

But his sudden calmness and cooperation, the drastic change in attitude, made Zongping Kang suspicious.

"What they're saying about you and Mu Yunan leaving, couldn't it be about you two"t Zhao, he can leave the Chamber of Commerce and move away from Luoshui like them.There are still twenty days, no need to rush."Ayoo, see off the guest!"He quickened his pace, rushing out of the front...
