Chapter 966 She, Poor? pitiable?

doing anything, why would he marry Wen XiaorouIs this just a decoration for your homeBut he didn't have the guts to contradict his father, so he just had to nod his head in agreement."Where's the impe...This matter involves the prime minister. How can such a scandalous act be tolerated She is Yuan Buyu's granddaughter after all. Although everyone has a lot of gossip to share, they could only keep silent when they returned to the banquet hall.

Fang Jinshi didn't see Yuan Xiangli in the crowd, she probably took her daughter who wanted to fly high and ran off first.

Such a thing happened that Zong Qianyue probably wouldn't be able to face the public for the rest of her life.

Zong Pingchuan's face was ashen. He never expected that in just a short while, his daughter would do something like this.

Yuan's anxious look before she left, this incident definitely has something to do with her.

This way, Zong Pingchuan recalled that over a decade ago, he and Yuan Shi seemed to have gotten into a relationship in such a muddled way, and eventually got married.

Well...

Zong Pingchuan frowned and clenched his fist, wishing he could rush back immediately to give Yuan Xiangli two hard slaps and wake her up!

Simply foolish, clueless!

He sat back beside Yuan Buyu, not knowing what expression to wear.

He often couldn't figure out why such a brilliant and cunning person would raise such a foolish daughter.

If Yuan Xiangli had inherited half his father's intelligence, his situation wouldn't be what it is now.

She should coexist peacefully with the Mu family instead of putting him in such a difficult position.

Fu Ming walked to Fang Jinyu's side and asked about the whereabouts of the imperial uncle with his eyes. Now that it was a banquet at Jingwangfu, what was the matter with the host hiding without appearing

Isn't everything alright

Fang Jinshi smiled and said, "Your Highness is tired, it doesn't matter if he comes or not."

Today, the Jing Wangfu has invited everyone over. All the top aristocratic families in the capital city have come, including officials from Yuan Buyu's faction.

Even Yuan Buyu's aide, the second prince Fu Yunxuan, was present. With the audience assembled, she gave Zong Bai a slight nod, signaling that he could begin.

Zong Yu's expression also became serious, and as Zong Bai walked to Fu Ming's side, his footsteps followed.

Even with amnesia, he was still the man who held his family above all else.

"My lords, His Highness has one more thing he needs to clarify today."

As soon as Fu Ming opened his mouth, all eyes turned to him. Naturally, Zong Bai standing beside him also came into everyone's sight.

The handsome young man caused the women present to light up, no one had noticed such a dashing young master at the banquet before, nor did they know which family he belonged to.

But as everyone kept looking, their expressions became strange.

Many people started to whisper amongst themselves.

"The more I look at this young man's features, the more I feel he resembles Master Zong."

"You're not the only one who feels this way, we all do."

A lady who had attended the hundred vegetable feast came over to explain things to them.

"Ladies, you may not know this, but this young man is truly Master Zong's son."

"She's sitting over there." The lady gestured with her eyes towards Mu Shi's direction, indicating for the two to look. "She is the wife Zong Da Ren had in the countryside before."

"Oh So the rumors from Beijing a while back were actually true!"

"Well, you're right. That Mr. Big Shot always seems like such an upright and honorable person. We were all envious of Yuan Xiangli for marrying someone so clean-cut."

"For over a decade of marriage, he never strayed. His backyard was cleaner than Yuan Xiangli's face."

"It turned out that after he passed the imperial examinations, he abandoned his wife and children and married the daughter of a high official, rising rapidly through the ranks."

"How pitiful the Mu family is, with three children waiting for years in that impoverished countryside. It's truly a sorry state of affairs."

Upon seeing Madame Mu, the other noblewomen were impressed. The fabric of her dress appeared to be from the most prestigious embroidery workshop in the capital; a single foot of such material would cost over a hundred taels.

Her, poor Pitiful

If she truly was Master Zong's dreadful wife, and Master Zong was already over forty this year, then his wife, who married him when she was young, should also be quite old.

The other party's delicate and tender appearance looked younger than Yuan Xiangli. Could she really be Zong Pingchuan's wife

Zong Pingchuan, what qualifications does he have!

It's simply incomprehensible.

"Humph, Yuan Xiangli has lost such a huge amount of face this time because of her daughter's affair. Even the husband she always boasts about being devoted to her is not truly sincere towards her."

"How is she going to strut around here like this after what happened!"

"That's right."

Several ladies laughed together. These women were all high-ranking noblewomen in Kyoto, with their families holding prominent positions. Yuan Xiangli, relying on her father's position as prime minister, had offended many people.

Not only did no one say a word to her when something happened, but there was also a sense of relief and pleasure.

"You're saying this young man just appeared out of nowhere Could it be that Lord Zong is about to claim him as his own right here"from her bosom, and Bai Xuan was startled, looking at her up and down.With such a delicate frame, how did you manage to pull that box out"This, you see if it can match the auction price of No. 7."When...
