Chapter 876 She is the wife, you are the concubine, understa

one to take care of me. Perhaps we should just keep Hu Ai-lan here."Before Lady He could speak, Fang Jinshi let out a cold snort. “You can keep her, but if I find out she’s stirring up trouble behind...Zong Pingchuan's burst of crying left many people stunned.

Mu Yunhe is the same.

"You, you're crying what"

Before she could even speak, she wondered why, if he was unharmed, he hadn't returned all these years. And what about Zong Bo's status as a top scholar It had been erased, so what had happened

Could it be him

Mu unconsciously took two steps back, causing Zong Pingchuan's outstretched hand to grasp at empty air.

"You, don't you think you should give our mother a reasonable explanation"

Yuan Xiangli shouted, "What did he tell you"

"Who are you"

"He's not some poor relative who came out of nowhere, is he!"

Mu was almost amused by this, she looked at Zong Pingchuan with tearful eyes.

"Am I your poor relative"

"Zong Pingchuan, open your eyes wide and take a good look. I also want to know, at seventeen years old, I married into your Zong family and gave birth to children for you, raised the elderly for you."

"She's the mistress of the house, what am I"

"You said it!"

With each question, Mu's emotions could no longer be contained. Tears streamed down her face.

"What She's your country girl"

"Didn't you say she and several of her children died in the famine"

"Zong Pingchuan, what on earth is going on!"

Yuan Xiangli was completely furious, clutching onto Zong Pingchuan as if she wanted to physically attack him.

Fang Jinxiu hurriedly pulled her mother-in-law away, keeping a safe distance so she wouldn't be affected. She watched the scene coldly and whispered to Mu Shi's ear.

"Mother, just take a good look at this man's true face and then let him go completely."

A scumbag is indeed hateful, but the impact he has on his mother-in-law can't be erased overnight.

Hearing it from others is far less profound than witnessing it firsthand.

Mu stared blankly at Zong Pingchuan. This man had once been her husband, and they were the closest people to each other besides their parents and siblings. Besides a few more strands of white hair on his head, his face hadn't aged much compared to her memory.

On the contrary, years of indulgence had pampered him, leaving him soft and delicate, even more handsome than he was at thirty.

The more Mu saw such changes in Zong Pingchuan, the colder her heart became.

For so many years, he hasn't even gone back home once, even though he disliked her wanting to marry someone else, why didn't he come back first to divorce her.

“I really don't know if they are all still alive. How many times do I have to explain it for you to understand”

"I haven't intentionally concealed anything from you. If I had known they were still alive, I wouldn't have agreed to this marriage arranged by my father-in-law."

Yuan Xiangli glared at him, her face flushed red. She knew there was no point arguing here today; she wouldn't get anywhere.

Now she was completely overwhelmed, unable to figure out why things had suddenly become so complicated.

Yuan Xiangli finally realized. The sudden appearance of Zong Pingchuan's deceased wife and children was not right.

These people didn't just appear suddenly; they had arrived in the capital long ago and even came into contact with Taiwu.

And now, Taiwu has become like this. Perhaps it is Mu Shi's deliberate revenge!

Yuan Xiangli suddenly pointed at Fang Jinshi, "It's all your fault!"

"This was a setup you deliberately made!"

Fang Jinxiu raised an eyebrow, quite surprised.

I never thought Yuan Xiangli, with her current intellect, could actually figure this out. Whether she guessed it randomly or truly understood it herself, today she came with the purpose of ruining Zong Pingchuan's reputation!

"Madam, perhaps you shouldn't rush to attack me. Why don't you first figure out how to give my mother-in-law an explanation"

Yuan Xiangli panicked, "I, I have nothing to tell you."

"Everything that happened today was planned by you. You've made our home a mess! You heartless wretch, you must have caused Taiwu's illness!"

Fang Jinshi smiled coldly and walked towards Yuan Xiangli, her face as cold as frost, intimidating anyone who looked at her.

With each step she took closer, Yuan Xiangli involuntarily took a step back.

"As the daughter of a high-ranking official, you snatched someone else's husband and shamelessly occupied their property for over a decade. You still have the audacity to call yourself the mistress of the house"

"Do you know what they call this behavior in our countryside"

"S shameless temptress! A low-class woman who seduces men!"

Yuan Xiangli had never been insulted like this before, she was trembling with anger.

"Release, unleash! You, you country bumpkin widow, dare to insult me like this!"

She raised her hand to slap Fang Jinshu's face, but she grabbed her wrist.

Fan Jinshui snorted coldly.

"Just because of who you are now, you want to hit me"

"Now that you've entered our family, it doesn't matter if you didn't know before. Now that my wife, the legitimate one, has appeared, do you know what your status is"

"I am your concubine."

"It matters not how you came to be married into the Zong family. As long as my mother-in-law and he remain unseparated, you, a daughter of a prime minister, will always be below my mother-in-law in this household."

She's the wife, you're the concubine. Do you understand!old.If she were to say now that Zong Pingchuan was faking it, Zong Bai and Yulian would probably resent her."He cannot die in Jinxiu Villa. He is still an official of the court, the son-in-law of the...
