Zongpingchuan coughed twice and didn't answer. When he raised his head again, his voice suddenly became louder, as if deliberately attracting the attention of others.
“Everyone said I wouldn't come. When has Zong Pingchuan ever suffered such an insult I'm going back!”
Zong Pingchuan directly blurted out his own name in the crowd, it is conceivable what kind of attention this would cause.
Hardly had his voice fallen than the people suddenly turned their heads to look at them.
Zong Pingkang cursed under his breath, wondering what had gotten into Lao Er again, making a scene out of nowhere.
Well, since I'm here already.
He pulled Wu shi.
"Mother, we've arrived at the Hou Mansion, let's go in quickly."
Mrs. Wu excitedly gave her final order.
"Make way! We are the esteemed uncle and grandmother of the Marquis, I see who dares to block our path."
"Get out of the way."
Zongping's attitude was abnormally arrogant. In fact, he was just too excited after seeing the majestic and imposing gate of Hou Mansion.
This is the Wuding Hou Mansion. Even the main gate is so magnificent, you can imagine how luxurious the house inside must be. As long as he can live here for the rest of his life, he will die without regrets.
Grandma Wu's reaction was similar to Zongping's, both with excited and thrilled expressions.
Though the common folk were displeased with the way the two drove them, upon hearing that they were the marquis's uncle and grandmother, they instinctively made way for the three.
This imposing air, they could only hold it in and make way for them, which really pleased the two.
It turns out that having power and influence feels pretty good.
Just hearing their names would make people avoid them, not even daring to fart in front of them.
Two people walked up to the steps of the Marquis' mansion and stood at the door. Naturally, the servants of the Marquis' mansion came out to drive them away when they saw this.
"Who are you This is the Marquis of Wuding's mansion, not some place where beggars can come and go freely. Stay away! Leave!"
The servants of the Marquis's household saw that Old Madam Wu was poorly dressed and thought that the three of them were here to beg for food.
This really angered both Old Madam Wu and Zong Pingkang, but Zong Pingchuan wanted to laugh but held back.
"What a bunch of guts! Blind fool, take a closer look! I'm your lord's own uncle!"
Aunt Wu's eyes were sharp. She leaned in and saw Mu Yunhe and her daughter talking not far away.
She suddenly squeezed into the crowd below, trying to get past, and shouted in Mu Yunhe's direction.
"Second daughter-in-law! Second daughter-in-law!"
"Come here, mother's bringing the second child to see you!"
At the start, there was a lot of commotion at the gate. Jade Lotus and Madam Mu treated it as the voices of ordinary people outside. Since they opened the gates of the Marquis' mansion in the morning and started moving things in, the noise outside never stopped.
Lady Wu's voice was to Mu Yunhe like a nightmare etched into her bones. Even if she hadn't heard her speak in a long time, the moment that familiar voice reached her ears, she sensed it more acutely than anyone else.
Mu Shi immediately saw Lady Wu at the door waving frantically at her, her face instantly draining of color.
How could my mother-in-law be here
Jade Lotus seemed to have heard Old Mrs. Wu's voice. At first, she thought she had misheard. This was the capital city; how could her grandmother possibly be here
Seeing her mother's face, he had a bad feeling.
"Mother, what's wrong with you"
Mu Yunhe trembled and pointed a shaking finger toward the door.
"That, is that your grandma"
"Jade Lotus, she seems to be your grandmother, and also your elder uncle, how could they be here"
Yulian's whole body stiffened for a moment, then immediately turned her head to look at the doorway, and then her back teeth gritted together with a creak.
"It's not like it seems, those two can't be anyone else."
She could recognize her grandmother and great-uncle even if they were burned to ashes. All the memories she had from childhood were of how her grandmother and great-uncle oppressed her older brother, mistreated their mother, and bullied her and her second brother. All those past events felt as vivid as yesterday.
But how did they get here How did they find the Hou Mansion
Who told them
Yulian hurriedly turned Mu Shi's body, "Mother, Grandmother and Uncle look like they are here for trouble."
"Why don't you just go back to the yard and hide for a bit I'll handle this."
She has honed her skills by the elder sister-in-law's side for so many years, she is no longer the ignorant little girl she once was.
This time she wouldn't let grandma and her uncle bother them in front of them again, nor would she agree to any of their demands!
Mu nodded, but she thought it was inappropriate to let her daughter face Lady Wu and Zongping Kang alone.
After all, Yu Lian isn't married yet. If something were to happen at the door and damage her reputation, it would greatly affect her future.
Mu turned his steps and walked back.
No, how could she, as a mother, let her daughter face this kind of situation
Yulian walked to the door with a cold face.
The servants of the Hou's residence, upon seeing their mistress arrive, all bowed and greeted her.
"Miss, these two men claim to be..." Before the servant could finish, Yulian raised her hand to interrupt them.
"Enough said, I'll take care of this. You all go back to what you need to be doing. Make sure the front yard is cleaned up promptly, and don't waste your time on trivial matters."
The commoners immediately nodded and continued working.
Hearing this, Old Mrs. Wu instantly became furious.
"You little brat! Don't try to tell me that things aren't important. You think just because I'm old, I can't hear what you're really saying"
"This is Ah Yu's residence, I am your grandmother! How dare you not let me in!"
Zong Yulian knew her face was thick-skinned, so she wasn't surprised to hear that.
Zong Pingkang had long placed Zong Pingchuan on the ground. Seeing this, he pulled over Wu Laotai and walked to Yulian's side himself.
He gave a chilling smile.
"Jade Lotus Girl."
For some reason, Zong Yulian's heart skipped a beat when she saw her uncle's smiling face. She felt like her uncle was a completely different person compared to before.
"You don't need to fawn over us. Our second branch has long since split from yours. No matter what you say today, I won't let you in."
Dividing the family is no child's play, mother and elder brother brought along the younger brother who was still young, but they were driven out of the house by their grandparents with nothing to their name.
They only come closer when they see that things are going well for others, emphasizing family ties like "dear grandma" and "dear uncle," all just to get them to accept them again. What kind of good thing is there in this world
Dreaming, the door doesn't even open.
Zong Yulian refused very flatly, Wu Lao Tai was immediately anxious, but Zong Ping Kang held his mother's arm, his face not showing any anger at all, instead smiling more and more ominously.
"Jade Lotus," he looked up and down at Zong Yu Lian's attire, his eyes flashing with greed, and nodded with a smile.
"As expected of someone who's become a young lady of a marquisate, her clothes are completely different from that rustic village girl she used to be."
"I still remember the year I introduced you to a marriage proposal. You didn't even have a decent pair of shoes and begged your uncle for money to buy some."
"At that time, I was kind enough to lend you all the silver I had. Uncle, I have been very generous to you. Is this how you treat your uncle now"
Every time Zongping Kang spoke of the past, Yu Lian's face paled a little more. Her fists clenched with anger as she glared at him fiercely.
"Uncle, are you threatening me"
The more she acted so timid and afraid, the more Zongping felt that he had made the right bet.
"What threat did the family make"
"Your uncle is thinking of you. After all, you are the eldest daughter of the Marquis's mansion. If your reputation is ruined by some scandal and you can't marry well, it would be a laughing stock."
"By then, even the Marquis would probably be ridiculed."
"You!"
Yulian was furious and almost shoved Zong Pingkang away herself. Fortunately, Mu Shi arrived just in time and pulled her back.
"Jade Lotus, don't be rash!"
