Chapter 1031: Releasing Him Depends on His Mood

u Ming staring blankly ahead."Huh"Lead the way.Fu Ming quickly regained his composure and led her out of the hall, giving a few instructions to the eunuch supervisor.At this time, King Jing suddenly s..."Second brother, what do you mean by this"

Auntie Wu kept helping her second son by patting his back and giving him a rhythmic massage. With her eyes, she signaled the eldest to say less, reminding him that the second son wasn't feeling well.

Zong Pingchuan was feeling a bit tired, and his head started to ache. He really didn't have the energy to deal with these two people.

He raised his hand to brush away Old Wu's hand from him, took a breath to calm himself, and then dismissed her.

"Mother, you guys go out first, I'm tired and want to rest for a bit."

When Old Mrs. Wu heard this, she immediately became displeased and chased them both out. They stood there with equally grim expressions, staring at Zong Pingchuan's door.

"The second son's face didn't look right. Did he get some serious illness"

Just now I coughed so hard I thought I was going to die.

Zong Ping comforted, "How would I know Even if he's really sick, the Yuan family is so wealthy. Yuan Xiangli, that woman, seems to care for him very much; she wouldn't just let him die."

"It's not our concern."

After thinking about it for a moment, Old Lady Wu agreed.

"Why would you say that about your brother His death doesn't benefit any of us."

zongping kang smiled, "mother, he's not that easy to die. It's us, where are we sleeping tonight"

"Look at this yard."

Speaking of this Old Madam Wu, I get angry. This Yuan shi, that little shrew, with her father being an official, dared to look down on us as if we were nothing.

If she gets the chance, she's going to put this unruly daughter-in-law in her place!

"Hey, why don't you get started on cleaning up"

Both were quite helpless.

Zhongping Kang originally wanted to grab that young servant over to help with the work, but unfortunately he was too fast, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

Mrs. Wu didn't want to do it herself, but Zongping Kang had been a lazybones at home before. He didn't know how to work at all. Even after serving several years in prison, he hadn't changed; his hands and feet were still clumsy.

After pulling weeds for a long time, not even a patch of clean ground was revealed.

He couldn't even get the dust off, and ended up covered in dirt himself, looking more disheveled than a beggar on the street.

Old Mrs. Wu couldn't rely on him at all. Waiting for her eldest son to clean up their sleeping place tonight, she estimated that they wouldn't be able to fall asleep even when dawn broke.

Therefore, she could only stretch out her old arms and legs, back aching and waist sore, wiping with a cloth.

Old Madam Wu, exhausted from the ordeal, erupted in a furious tirade.

"This damned little wretch, Yuan! She makes me, her own mother-in-law, do this sort of work. The useless piece of trash!"

"I'm so tired, ouch."

Old Lady Wu sighed after being tired from scolding. She was so old, why did she have to endure this hardship

In the past, old women her age in the village wouldn't even go outside. They would just stay at home, enjoying the care and devotion of their grandchildren.

Speaking of which, she has quite a few grandchildren. Her eldest son alone has six children, but unfortunately, none of them are willing to be filial to her.

They are all a bunch of white-eyed wolves!

"It's no use, boss. Mother just can't rub it anymore."

"This house is too dusty!"

"I'm hungry."

Zongping Kang was exhausted, and he slammed the rag onto the floor.

"I'm done, let's sleep in Lao Er's room tonight!"

Old Madam Wu was startled.

"Huh Where does the second brother sleep"

zong ping kang hummed a laugh and said, "He hasn't been filial to his mother for so many years. Letting out a bed for her to sleep in is not what he should do."

"I slept on the floor with my second son."

When Old Mrs. Wu heard this, her heart skipped a beat. She was truly too worn out to keep up. Although the house didn't look very big, cleaning it was exhausting work.

It's mainly the two of them doing the work, and they are dealing with years of accumulated dust and grime. It's not going to get clean all at once, that's for sure.

They said they wouldn't do it if they didn't want to.

As expected, Yuan Xiangli's people brought a lot of food and supplies in the late afternoon. However, someone followed them over, and she herself didn't come this time; she went to Jiangchuang to look for her youngest son.

Old Lady Wu's eyes lit up as she watched these things being brought in.

Just now, she could see a lot of good things. Just the bedding fabric held by the maidservant looked valuable.

I had never seen such things before in Xizhou.

Some people were afraid to approach Old Mrs. Wu, so everything was sent into Zong Pingchuan's room. The two of them followed the things, their eyes and steps both preparing to enter the second brother's room.

But she was stopped by a maidservant beside Yuan Xiangli.

"Well, madam said these things are for the master, you can't touch them."

What Old Lady Wu immediately became unhappy, her face turning sour.

"Lying inside is my own son, you little bitch! You dare say I have nothing to do with this"

"If you don't give us food and blankets, how are we supposed to live here!"

Old Madam Wu was always harsh and rude in her speech. The maid was upset by it and, as she served beside Yuan Xiangli, she naturally encountered only young ladies and noblewomen who had been raised with etiquette and decorum. She had never met anyone as uncouth as Old Madam Wu.

"You! Your things are over there!"

She angrily pointed to two cloth bags on the ground elsewhere.

Mrs. Wu angrily went over and opened it. Well, there was one basket filled with ten or so fist-sized sweet potatoes and potatoes, and another one contained two thin quilts.

The fabric looked completely different from the one I just saw in Old Second's house.

Yuan Xiangli was clearly doing this on purpose. How could Mrs. Wu not be angry

A daughter-in-law dared to mistreat her, the old Madam Wu jumped up instantly and slapped the maid hard across the face. The maid was stunned and it took her half a lifetime to come to her senses, trembling all over with tears streaming down her face as she questioned her.

"You, you actually dare to hit me!"

Just as the maidservant finished her words, Zong Pingkang slapped the other side of her face.

"You're nothing but a servant in your brother or sister's family, my mother is your master's mistress! How dare you speak to her like that!"

"Tell Yuan Xiangli that if she wants us to take good care of the second brother, she should send some decent things over. Otherwise, we can't guarantee that no one else will know about Zong Pingchuan recuperating here."

"Hear me clear, and get out!"

The maid was terrified and, along with the several little servants who were delivering the things, fled in a hurry.

That evening, Yuan Xiangli didn't come over. Zong Pingchuan was driven to the fields to sleep by his mother and younger brother. No matter how angry or surprised he was, he could only accept their arrangements.

At the same time, at Jiang Mansion, Jiang Chuang did indeed detain Zong Taiwu.

This kid is simply a spoiled, reckless oaf. Calling him an oaf would be flattering him; at least oafs have some courage. He probably only has that one quality left, and it's the most naive and ridiculous kind.

It's not even close.

Yuan Buyu was intelligent his whole life, how could he have such a daughter and grandson

It's obvious that Yuan Xiangli has bad taste in men, her genes are just not good.

"Jiang Chuang, what have you done to Tai Wu! If you don't want my father to know, then release him quickly."

Facing this unpredictable man, Yuan Xiangli appeared calm on the surface, but her palms were sweating profusely.

Jiang Chuang wouldn't even buy his own father's account, let alone listen to her. She was puzzled though, they had always kept to themselves for so many years.

Taiwu had caused quite a stir in the capital, big and small. He'd made trouble on his own turf countless times, but Jiang Chuang never held it against him.

Why was someone suddenly detained today

"Heh heh, Miss Yuan, do you think you're still the jewel of your father's palm"

Jiang Chuang wore a mocking expression, Yuan Xiangli's heart skipped a beat. Although she was somewhat confused, this wasn't the priority at the moment. She didn't dwell on it for now.

"What did Taiwu do to offend you There has to be a reason for doing this, right"

"Did you break something in my house, or hurt someone At least I can pay for the damages, right"

Hearing these words, Jiang Chuang's eyes suddenly darkened.

"Do I need your little bit of money"

Zong Taiwu scolded Xiu Xiu harshly in front of him. Jiang Chuang had no soft spots in this world, but Fang Jinxiu was his biggest weakness.

Xiao Xiao's refusal to return with him is their own business, but that doesn't mean others can insult her at will in front of him.

Zongtai Wu, this kid, was spoiled rotten by the Yuan family and Yuan Xiangli. His personality is utterly unrestrained. In his opinion, this boy hasn't suffered enough yet; he would benefit more from enduring some hardship, as it would contribute to his growth.

Letting someone go depends on one's mood.this were not the capital city of Da Xi, housing the imperial court and most of the nobility, its output would be more than enough to support a population the size of another city.Fāng Jǐnxiù sat by t...
