The little princess' mind was read, and the court and harem were eating melons

On the other side, Qingshan County.

Hu Ping'an now lives with the Hu family, but in fact, Hu Ping'an's life has not become peaceful in the past few days because of the protection of the Qingyi Guards.

On the contrary, he felt that after this matter was settled, it would be difficult for him to continue living the peaceful and tranquil life he wanted here with his family.

From the very beginning, Hu Ping'an was unable to make a living as a young master who had everything he had, so he stopped studying and went to the farm to do farming work. His family did not understand why.

For most people of this era, farming was lowly and studying was the only way out.

The chain of contempt exists at all times, and what’s more, this chain of contempt still exists in modern times, not to mention in ancient times.

The Hu family are just ordinary people with ordinary thoughts. In fact, because of their class relationship, the situation of the Hu family living in this environment is even more serious in this regard.

No one in the Hu family supported what Hu Ping'an did.

It’s just that some people don’t support him and want to stop him, while others don’t support him but don’t stop him.

Hu Ping'an knew it from the beginning, but he didn't care.

As to how good his relationship is with his family in this life, actually not that good.

To say it’s too bad, it’s not that bad.

At least, in the Hu family, they did not regard each other as mortal enemies, but there was not much deep affection between brothers and sisters, after all, they were not born of the same mother.

Therefore, when Hu Ping'an knew that danger was coming, he did not think of hiding it from his family and fled alone with his mother.

And when facing danger, the Hu family did not push him out directly.

Similarly, when the county magistrate came to his house because of the strange things that Hu Ping'an grew, Hu Ping'an's father did not abandon him at first because he was worried that Hu Ping'an had caused any trouble. Instead, he communicated with the county magistrate very carefully, and only allowed Hu Ping'an to appear in front of the county magistrate after making sure that there was no problem.

Hu Ping'an's father Hu Youlin is just an ordinary person.

Therefore, after making sure that they should have avoided this crisis, Hu Ping'an was implicitly ostracized by his family - they were afraid that he would continue to bring danger, and that their family's ability to resist risks might not be able to protect Hu Ping'an, and might even be destroyed because of his existence.

Whether it was Yang Jianrang or the Qingyi Guards, they were both very distant existences to the Hu family.

They are afraid.

They are afraid.

And because of these emotions, they began to blame Hu Ping'an intentionally or unintentionally.

But no one asked Hu Ping'an to die. They just hoped that Hu Ping'an could return to his previous state, study hard, live an honest life, and not bring new dangers to his family.

"mother."

When Hu Ping'an returned to his room, he saw his biological mother sitting on a chair, crying silently.

He paused, but still stepped forward and called out, looking at the maidservant beside his mother who also had red eyes, with a questioning look in her eyes.

The maid touched the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and shook her head gently, indicating that she couldn't say it.

Hu Pingan had no choice but to sit down next to his mother, thought for a moment, and asked, "Did your father blame you?"

Hu Ping'an had previously told his classmates and teachers the story of the Hu family, but he was interrupted halfway through, so he did not tell them that his mother was actually the one with the lowest status in the Hu family.

In terms of status, she is also Hu Youlin's principal wife, and according to the rules, she should also be the legitimate mother of all the children of the Hu family. But the problem is that Hu Youlin's previous wives were all principal wives, and all the children born to them were legitimate.

Since they are all principal wives, the one who entered the family first naturally has a higher status. Moreover, both of them have given birth to children for the Hu family, so there is no such thing as a mother's status being elevated by her sons.

Generally speaking, when this happens, the wives of the first wives can compare their family backgrounds to see who is better.

Unfortunately, unlike the previous few who were more or less of the same class as the Hu family, by the time of Hu Ping'an's mother, Hu Youlin had no value in the marriage market. Hu Youlin himself was also aware of his situation, so the lady he married in the end had the lowest family background.

There is nothing much to say about her family background. They are just ordinary people. The only valuable property in their family is the tea shop by the city gate. However, the size of their family is not large enough to be classified as merchants by the government.

Well, in short, I don't make much money and can barely make ends meet.

The reason why Hu Youlin married her was very simple - she was good-looking and the women in her family were all strong and capable.

Perhaps the latter reason is more important to the Hu family. After all, under the general environment, the Hu family feels that there still needs to be a person in charge in the backyard. The hostess is always changing, and Hu Youlin himself is uncomfortable. The servants in the Hu family are also at a loss, right?

And she was indeed different from the previous ladies. Not long after she entered the family, she gave birth to Hu Ping'an. The next year, she gave birth to Hu Ping'an's sister Hu Changning. In the fourth year, she gave birth to a daughter, Hu Changyi. Each birth went smoothly and without any problems.

Later, maybe Hu Youlin felt that the family had enough children, or maybe she had given birth to three children in four consecutive years, which hurt her body, so she never had another child. But these few children were enough for her to gain a foothold in the Hu family.

However, due to various reasons, and her honest and dutiful nature, this lady has always been low-key and reserved in the Hu family, and basically never argues with others.

Can't be tough.

When Hu Ping'an suddenly went to the farm to farm, she was also anxious, but she had never disobeyed her husband and son. In the end, she quietly prepared food, clothing, shelter and transportation for Hu Ping'an without saying much.

Up to now, other people in the Hu family have complained about Hu Ping'an to some extent, but she has never said a word to complain about Hu Ping'an. Even when she cried, she only cried twice in the past two days, which is not frequent.

"No." Hearing Hu Ping'an's question, this honest and upright lady shook her head gently, sobbed softly, and then said in a hoarse voice: "Your father didn't blame me, and he, he didn't mean to blame you. I know, Ping'an, you are a man of great things, and your father understands it."

"I just, I just..."

As she spoke, she couldn't hold back her tears. She lowered her head and pressed the corners of her eyes, as if she was trying hard to suppress something. "I'm just scared, Ping An, are you, are you... are you... going to leave here?"

She spoke this sentence intermittently, and only looked up at the end. Her eyes were blurry with tears, but she tried hard to look into Hu Ping'an's eyes, her eyes were full of reluctance and worry.

Hu Ping'an was surprised.

So...is it because of this incident?
