Chapter 970: Then Let Him Have It

are you so suspicious""After the water from the mountain is brought down, will your family not use it or what"Fang Jinxiu raised an eyebrow. "This isn't being petty, this is self-preservation.""We ca...Zong Pingchuan was truly frightened. He originally didn't intend to take Zong Bai's life, after all, he was his own son.

Why does he have no patience As long as he succeeds and gets rid of Yuan Buyu's control, their family clan can become a prominent family in the capital. When that time comes, he can acknowledge them again, and their status will be far superior to that of a mere champion scholar.

Moreover, once he takes Yuan Buyu's place, his son Zong Pingchuan will have no future prospects.

This disobedient son just has to go against me!

Just at this moment, Zong Pingchuan also made up his mind.

Okay, since he's looking for death, then let him have it.

It's best not to have him as his son, anyway, he doesn't lack sons!

"This is the path you chose. Don't blame your father for being ruthless once you reach the underworld."

After he finished speaking, he walked to Yuan Buyu's face.

He knew this man didn't care at all how he handled his own domestic affairs, as long as he was still of use to him.

"Since this is your private matter, handle it yourself. We'll talk about verifying his identity when you get back."

Yuan Buyu seems to be taking no sides, but actually he's implicitly supporting Zong Pingchuan. It remains to be seen if Zong Bai's young man can withstand fifty lashes.

If one person dies, there will be no need for a confrontation. Who would offend the current chief minister for the sake of a dead man

"There's no need to go through the trouble of going to the Jingzhao Mansion. My men know how to handle things just as well."

"Why don't we just carry it out here That way, we won't have so many people waiting around."

Minister of War Wen Xiong stood up and said.

Everyone was taken aback. If Wen Xiong had spoken like this before Miss Zong's incident, they wouldn't have been surprised at all.

After all, the marriage between the Wen and Zong families was common knowledge. But with such a scandal involving Zong Qianyue, would the Wen family still insist on marrying their daughter off to the Zong family

Wen Xiong, after all, is a descendant of a renowned general. He is surprisingly unconcerned about his reputation.

Zong Pingchuan cast a grateful look at Wen Xiong.

Wen Xiong's expression was rather cold. The only reason he stood up was out of respect for Yuan, the chancellor.

After finishing his words, he beckoned to the guards behind him. In a moment, several armored guards entered carrying two palm-width wide boards each.

At the sight of the plank, everyone instinctively felt a shiver of fear. Such a large and heavy board, if it hit someone, would surely be incredibly painful.

However, Zong Bai remained unmoved.

"You can still change your mind." Zongpingchuan faced him.

Zong Bai lay down on the execution stool without a word, "No need for chatter, just do it."

At the moment she saw the guard holding a board and standing beside her son, Mu finally couldn't help but rush out from the crowd.

Fang Jinshu and others were greatly surprised. They didn't react in time, so they didn't stop it.

Mrs. Mu, heartbroken, stepped in front of her son, her eyes red with tears.

"Zongpingchuan, Bai'er is your biological son. Even a tiger doesn't eat its own cubs, why are you so heartless!"

Her hatred for Zongpingchuan reached its peak at this moment. Did he have to sacrifice his own flesh and blood to pursue his career

For so many years, he had failed to fulfill his responsibilities as a husband and father. She had thought that coming to Beijing to find him would allow them to resolve their differences and part ways amicably.

She was willing to forgive the past and let him go after his own path.

But even the gentlest rabbit has its own weaknesses, and when pushed too far, it will bite.

Her several children were her weakness. As a mother, she was strong. Mrs. Mu used a hateful look for the first time to stare at this former husband of hers.

They had shared a bed for over a decade, and now, looking back, she realized she had never truly known the man who had slept beside her all those years.

"You want to hurt my son You'd have to kill me first!"

Zong Bai anxiously wanted to get up, "Mother, please go back, my son is fine, I can really handle it!"

Fāng Jǐnxiù and Yùlián also hurriedly came over to stand beside Mùshì. Both of them did not reach out to pull her apart, but instead stood on either side of her, as if to give Mùshì courage.

zong Pingchuan frowned, what kind of look was that This wasn't the understanding, gentle and graceful Mu Yunhe he used to know, was it

She looked at him with such a hateful gaze, as if he were some kind of filthy thing to be ashamed of.

Formerly, when she looked at him, there was only adoration and dependence in her eyes.

A strange feeling spread through Zong Pingchuan's heart, and he clenched his fists and roared.

"Get out of my way!"

If you insist on seeking death, then don't blame me for forgetting our past feelings.

"Hit me!"ease Fang Jinshu a bit, but he was taken aback by her words.Zong Bai and Zong Yulian rolled their eyes at him in unison, good for him."Young Master Su, you promised me something, didn't you Have you b...
