mous snake, I could find herbs to antidote it for you.""The venom of the snake that bit you is very potent. I've never encountered it before, so I don't know how to treat it.""Why don't I take you dow...The Hundred Vegetable Feast is tomorrow. Fang Jinshi had finished her chores and came to Mu's room. Zong Bai and Yulian were also there.

"Mother, tomorrow you will be able to see him."

Mu sat in the chair for a moment, lost in thought. The palm of her hand on her knee slowly clenched into a fist.

"Will he be bringing his wife and children"

Fang Jinshi nodded. "It should be."

"Last time I made that husband and wife lose such a huge amount of face in front of the emperor. That Yuan Xiangli wouldn't come looking for trouble, it would be uncharacteristic of her arrogant demeanor as the daughter of a high official."

She's definitely coming.

Mu raised her head nervously, "Then would you be in danger"

"What if she hurts you"

"Jinxiu, maybe I should stay away tomorrow."

The Mu family was very nervous.

When she first heard that her husband had taken another wife in the capital, she wasn't without anger and resentment. The obsession she had held for so many years to find him now seemed like a joke.

For this, she even forced her sons to endure years of mistreatment from the old house people, letting her children suffer humiliation and grievance for her dream.

Now that she thinks about it, she feels quite uncomfortable.

Why would Zongpingchuan do this.

The three children in the house are all his flesh and blood, he abandoned her, this wife who shared hardship with him.

Even venomous snakes won't eat their own offspring, so why would some people abandon their children

Mu agreed to follow Jinshu to the capital. On the one hand, she wanted to seek justice for Zongbai. On the other hand, she also wanted to ask Zongpingchuan face-to-face if he really didn't want their family anymore.

She wanted to hear the answer from his own lips.

Now, things seem to be getting more complicated, and it could even hurt the daughter-in-law, causing trouble for the family. Mu started to hesitate again.

Seeing her dilemma, Fang Jinxiu stepped forward and said.

"Mother, a daughter-in-law has never feared trouble."

Besides, Yuan Xiangli couldn't do anything to me even in front of the emperor. Coming to my turf, she wouldn't even have the ability to hurt me.

But after so many years of grievance, and Zong Bai's future prospects, shouldn't you demand an explanation from that man

" Zongyu and Zongbai, they grew up under the oppression of the old house. If it wasn't for him taking the exam and not returning, your family of four wouldn't have suffered so much."

Yu Lian nodded fiercely.

"Mother, sister-in-law is right."

"My older brother and I were born without a father by our side. We've grown up this big and have never even seen what our real father looks like."

Actually, he doesn't mean anything to me. Our lives would go on the same way whether he was here or not.

"If he really died, we would still burn incense and bow to him every Qingming Festival, respecting this blood-related father from the heart."

"I don't blame him for not fulfilling his duties as a father, but I can't forgive that our family suffered for over a decade because of him!"

"Grandma and Uncle always called us unlucky, bad luck symbols, even saying that you killed your own father, making us suffer hardship and injustice. They even swindled our family's money!"

"All these hardships are because of him!"

"You don't want to ask him for an explanation, and I do!"

Yulian, as she spoke, her eyes turned red and filled with tears. With a stubborn face, she wiped away the tears that fell.

If it weren't for their family's fortunate encounter with their sister-in-law later on, they probably wouldn't even know what happened now. They might not even have the chance to go to the capital and ask him for an explanation.

Zong Bai had already removed him from his position as a father when that person took away the title of "number one scholar" and sent him home.

Anyway, I've been living without a father for over ten years.

"Jadelian is right, Mother. Even if our three siblings' grievances can be disregarded."

"He is your destined husband, yet after attaining office, he abandoned his wife and married another. Even if he has some grievances against you..."

"According to imperial law, you have committed no crime of the seven offenses. He has no right to divorce you, nor does he have the right to mistreat you like this."

To this day, when he thinks of that person, Zong Bo can finally remain calm.

All the shouting and crying, even the anger, was useless against that person.

The hatred in my heart could only be quelled by seeing that person suffer a tragic fate, witnessing the deserved punishment of being stripped of everything.

Hearing the children's words, Mrs. Mu nodded.

"Alright, Mother knows."

After so many years of waiting, it's time to settle this with him.

She had been weak for half her life, bullied by her in-laws and her elder brother and sister-in-law. Later, after she finally managed to make a good life with the help of her daughter-in-law, she was bullied again by her younger brother's family.

Mù shì originally thought that Zōng Píngchuan would be the only different one in the Zōng family, and also the spiritual pillar she insisted on pulling up her three older children to survive.

Now, it turns out he was the one who hurt their mother and her four daughters the most. also be a problem for the safety of our family members in the future.It can't be that we always rely on reputation to go in and out.Without him, everyone felt anxious every time they went in and out...
