Chapter 868: Shameless

Now that he was up the mountain, he took the lead in digging, and everyone in the village was dumbfounded. For the first time, they felt Zong Yu's efficiency and strength up close.They were miles ahea...He took a deep breath just as Yuan Xiangli uttered those haughty and arrogant threats.

Zong Pingchuan frowned, just about to stop him when he heard Zong Bai speak.

"Madam Zong said, 'Our Jinxiu Mountain Villa is just a vegetable stand. We certainly can't afford to incur the wrath of the Prime Minister.'"

He intentionally mentioned Chancellor Yuan but not Zong Pingchuan.

Yuan Xiangli, hearing this, thought the other party was intimidated and showing signs of fear. A smug smile appeared on her face.

"Get out of here now, or let us in."

Zhong Bai smiled and quietly moved aside.

From the outside, this looked like Yuan Xiangli was completely bullying Zhang with her power. Many people showed anger and said below.

"The Yuan family is so arrogant, one would think that this capital city belongs to them alone."

“Yuan Xiangli is too arrogant. Lady Fang of Jinshi Mountain Villa is the acknowledged concubine of His Majesty, the King’s wife. In terms of status, she ranks higher than Yuan Xiangli, a mere minister’s wife.”

"How dare she run wild on someone else's property like this."

"That's right, the Yuan family is becoming more and more unruly these days, and even Prime Minister Yuan isn't keeping them in check."

"How do you know that Prime Minister Yuan didn't have a hand in this He’s the prime minister, second only to the emperor. Without his approval, could Yuan Xiangli have become so rampant"

"Too far!"

Although these people didn't dare to speak openly in front of the two, their hushed whispers multiplied and became a torrent. Zong Pingchuan wasn't deaf either.

Yuan Xiangli can silence one person, but she cannot silence a crowd.

He pulled Yuan Xiangli forcefully, his face turning as dark as possible.

"How much longer will you humiliate yourself!"

"Have we forgotten what brought us here today"

If you want to watch Tai Wu live the rest of his life as an inhuman, then continue standing here and insulting him.

Yuan Xiangli let out a cold snort, finally shut her mouth. She stormed into the room with her maidservant, disappearing very quickly.

Zongpingchuan fell to the back, and when he walked to Zongbai's side, he whispered in his ear.

"After the banquet is over, Father wants to speak with you."

"Last time I sent you back, it was truly out of necessity, Zongbo. You have to believe that your father did this for your own good."

Zong Pingchuan already had a set of excuses in mind. He could completely blame the incident of marrying another woman and getting her killed on the Yuan family. As for whether he would tear his face apart with Yuan Xiangli, he couldn't care less right now.

It seems that Mu's son is indeed much more useful than the two fools raised by Yuan. He can both read and make money.

If he could win Zong Bai over, after all, he was his biological father, Zong Pingchuan felt that this matter wouldn't be difficult.

After finishing his words, he went in. Zong Bo's lips curled into a faint sneer, his eyes were cold beyond description. This emotion vanished in an instant, and when the next customer approached, he had returned to normal.

All guests entering Jinxiu Mountain Villa were led by attendants to the front hall. Only Zong Pingchuan and his wife were not, the two were already fuming upon entering the gate.

Fang Jinshi is deliberately making them wait. Anyway, today is a situation where they will tear their faces apart, so why bother pleasing them.

She just didn't expect that Yuan Xiangli, with her intolerance for being slighted, could actually bear it.

After all the guests had entered, Fang Jinshiu and Zong Bai appeared at the same time.

Zong Pingchuan had long since spontaneously found a front seat and brought Yuan Xiangli in to sit down.

They took the seats, and no one dared to stop them. These seats weren't originally meant for the two of them; they were chased away by Yuan Xiangli with a cold glare.

As soon as Zong Pingchuan saw his youngest son standing with Fang Jinshu, he had a self-righteous misunderstanding. Even Yuan Xiangli frowned.

"Isn't this boy the one who was welcoming guests at the door just now"

"Well, I wonder how he managed to command so many servants to stand there and receive guests. Could it be that this young man has something going on with Widow Fang"

Zong Pingchuan's face was a bit unsightly.

His son is at least a top scholar, how could he possibly get involved with a widow who is also rumored to have an unclear relationship with King Jing

Yuan Xiangli finished speaking and then felt it wasn't quite right.

"This widow is so bold, everyone knows about her affair with King Jing, and she still dares to bring a young lover around."

Yuan Xiangli didn't know what she was thinking about, and turned her head to search the crowd with her gaze.

Seeing no sign of King Jing, she was quite disappointed. But on second thought, it made sense.

She brought this young mistress out in the open and paraded her around, how could she possibly let King Jing see such a scene

But the more generous and radiant Fang Jinshu appeared, the more Yuan Xiangli loathed her from within.

This damned bitch, relying on her alluring and seductive face, plays men like puppets in a crowd.

What a nerve!

What she hated most was that her own son had once made a scene for her, demanding to take her as his concubine.

Now she's been ruined by this wretch, yet she can still live so comfortably. How is that even possible It's infuriating.atever, he wasn't in front of her anyway. Let him curse, he wouldn't hear it.Li Muhai, who had always been treated as invisible, hurried forward and nodded."Clan." Just as he was about to speak, Clan...
