559 Tell them

At noon, Ping'an and his friends arrived at the county town.

Xiao Wu hurriedly opened two rooms for Zhang Jinyu and others to stay in. They couldn't leave today, and they might not be able to enter the capital once they arrived.

Along the way, they were busy traveling, and Ping'an hardly spoke to his stepmother. People are sometimes like this. Once the relationship becomes distant, they will be even more speechless.

Wan Changsheng and two other people went out for a walk and found that Ping An had returned, along with his stepmother.

"Ping An, she has already gone to her room, so I won't go over to say hello. Why is she going back with you now? Doesn't she need to take care of your father?"

"Dad, they should be going back to prepare for the New Year. No need to say hello. Just say hello tomorrow morning if you see them. Pingxuan, have you had a good time with Uncle and Dad?"

Pingxuan nodded vigorously: "We ate a lot of snacks, and also had a big goose pot, which was delicious."

Sun Hongyu said, "Let's go into the room and rest. You can take everyone to have lunch. We can't leave today anyway."

If it were just the men, they could ride faster, but with women along, they wouldn't be able to go any faster.

Ping'an asked the waiter to send the meal upstairs. As a lady from a wealthy family, her stepmother would definitely not want to come downstairs. Yan'er followed his mother, and Ping'an did not intend to meddle in other people's business. There was no need to make her stepmother unhappy, which would only make the child suffer.

After Zhang Jinyu entered the room, he did not leave. His son did not let him go out either, and he taught him to write in the room. Ping'an is too good, and Yan'er cannot be too bad. If the two brothers are too different, her husband will not be able to look at him.

The next morning, Zhang Jinyu took the child downstairs.

Ping An and the others were already waiting downstairs.

"Mother, this is my uncle and my father, and this is my younger brother Pingxuan."

Several people greeted each other politely, but only Chang Yan shed tears.

"Yan'er, what's wrong with you?" Ping'an knew that the child was probably jealous.

Chang Yan cried quietly: "Brother, no wonder you didn't come to pick me up last night, he is your brother."

Pingxuan was a little confused: "My elder brother was busy yesterday and didn't come to play with me."

Ping An said softly, "When we get back, both of you can ride in the same car with me. I'll tell you a story."

"Mother, let Yan'er follow me on the way back."

Zhang Jinyu nodded: "Then I'll trouble Ping An."

It turned out that this was Ping'an's younger brother. He looked a little younger than Yan'er, also four or five years old.

Ping'an's stepfather is just an honest and ordinary man. He cannot compare with her husband in any way, but he looks honest and reliable.

Wan Changsheng sighed as he sat in the car: "Uncle, look at how Ping An talks to his stepmother, she is as polite as an outsider, and she is quite indifferent to our Ping An."

Sun Hongyu smiled, "Changsheng, what do you want to say? That woman was born in the Zhang family. The Zhang family is good. She is not that bad either. She is just a little aloof and arrogant. Many ladies from wealthy families are like that. It is good enough for her to be polite to Ping An. Do you still hope that she will instigate Chang Chunfeng to take Ping An back?"

Wan Changsheng hurriedly shook his head. Ping'an was his eldest son and no one could take him away.

"That's all, Changsheng. Remember, Ping'an is old enough that you don't have to worry about anything he doesn't discuss with you. You two just need to help him look after the family and take care of his daughter-in-law and children.

As for Chang Chunfeng, just stay like this. We rarely see each other throughout the year anyway. When we do meet, just greet him with a smile. Just be the master of your Wan family. You will be promoted to old master next year."

"Uncle, then you are still too old." Wan Changsheng smiled, thought about it and shook his head, "Ping An said that for the time being, he still likes people to call him Master Ping An, calling him Master makes him feel old.

Uncle, can you help me pick a name for the baby? Two months have passed in a flash."

Sun Hongyu shook his head: "His father is the top scholar, how can I name him better than him?"

Mr. Chang will be sad again when his grandson is born with the surname Wan.

Alas, he is also a poor man.

They entered the capital city gate in the afternoon, and Ping'an asked Erqiang and three other people to send his uncle and grandfather back.

He took Lin Feng and a few others to send his stepmother off.

His father had previously asked him to send his stepmother directly to the Zhang family, but that was just something he said in anger and he couldn't do it.

His car followed his stepmother's car and went back to the Chang family or the Zhang family with his stepmother, but he had to deliver the letter his father wrote to the Zhang family last night.

As expected, the stepmother's car went straight back to her home.

Ping An carried Yan Er into the yard, and Zhang Jinyu asked someone to take the child away: "Ping An, I know your father wants you to send me back to the Zhang family directly, thank you for giving me face.

I already know I was wrong. I have been too stubborn these years and my personality has changed a lot. I will go to my parents' house by myself tomorrow. I can't hide this matter, but I still hope that you can go and explain it to them in person today. I want to hear from you that as long as you are around, nothing serious will happen to my father.

Ping An, your brothers and sisters are still young and cannot live without their mother. I have feelings for your father and don’t want to divorce him like this. You have to help me. "

The stepmother is now terrified, fearing that the incident will implicate her father and the Zhang family at any time. She has no idea that she saved the life of the judge, and Madam Xu will not hold on to her anymore, not to mention that the banknote has already been returned.

But he didn't want to say it now, he had to scare his stepmother if she did something wrong.

"Okay, mother, I'll go to my uncle's house now."

Watching her stepson leave, Zhang Jinyu was hesitant to speak. She wanted to tell Ping'an that if Madam Xu acted like a mad dog and bit people for her mother's family, she should ask Ping'an for help from the Marquis' Mansion and the General's Mansion.

After thinking about it, I decided not to mention it for now. Maybe my husband can suppress the matter himself, so why should I let so many people know about it?

When others knew about this, they would easily realize that she was just being greedy. For just a few thousand taels of silver, she put herself and her family in an irretrievable situation.

This is a disgrace.

But the scandal had to be told to my father and brothers from my mother's family, so that they would know what was going on. Otherwise, they would not know what was going on when the incident happened.

Ping'an looked at the sky. At this time, Uncle Zhang and his colleagues had not resigned yet. Zhang's maternal grandfather was sixty years old this year and had submitted his resignation letter last month. It seemed that he would be able to officially step down next year.

He asked Xiao Wu to transfer to the medical clinic, and the waiter Dao said that the master had been invited by the Bai family.

Could it be that Bai Jiaming's condition has relapsed? It has been under control for the past three months.

"Xiao Wu, take them home to rest first. Lin Feng can just follow me. Take the carriage back too. I just want to go for a walk."

"yes."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone shout "Peace."

Wang Chufeng came over trotting on his horse.

"Chu Feng."

"Ping An, where are you going? It's okay, I'll treat you to dinner, okay?"

"Resigned?"

Chu Feng is now also serving in the Kyoto Camp as a seventh-rank military officer, so it is correct to say that he is gilding his rank.

He is now the prince of Duke Jingguo and the future Duke Jingguo. If nothing unexpected happens, in addition to the title of Duke, his actual position will also be above the fourth rank.

Status determines destiny.

"I'll make an appointment with you later. I can't do it today. Uncle Zhang wants to see me for something."
