    “Uncle Tong, your words are too harsh!” Sun Junyan exined with a flushed face, “1 just came back from the academy today and brought home some cold fried jelly and fried noodle strips. I identally found out that these two foods may be rted to Xiaomai. Meipan and my mother are a bit impulsive, so…”


    “Enough of your useless chatter.” Tong Tiehu brutally interrupted him, his tone filled with undisguised mockery, “All 1 see is how your Qiao family aggressively came to seize Changsun’s property!”


    “Our vige has only a mere schr, and I originally had high hopes for you. Who knew your character would be so uneptable! Youpletely twisted tant robbery into concern for Xiaomai. Do you really think you’re smarter than others because you’ve read a few more books?”


    “So, everyone else here is a fool except for you?”


    These two rhetorical questions, like two ps, harshly struck Sun Junyan’s face, turning him pale.


    And to call him of all people, of poor character!


    These four words are too heavy for a schr to bear. He opened his mouth, wanting to argue, “Uncle Tong…”


    “Don’t tell me you’re unaware that your mother has been abusing your second brother and his wife all these years?!” Tong Tiehu interrupted his exnation again, rudely questioning back, his sharp gaze pinned on him, making him feel terribly ufortable.


    “I…” Sun Junyan opened his mouth, but all the words in his chest were stifled under Tong Tiehu’s piercing gaze, unable to voice them.


    Although those eyes were old, they were not murky, his words should reallye out.


    The humiliation he would face if he did, would be even more severe.


    The two rhetorical questions just now were already ps in the face, anything harsher would be like being beaten with a shoe…


    Embarrassed in front of so many people, he was unable to defend himself.


    Although he was a schr and respected by the vigers, he was just a student, a young student who had just obtained the qualification for the Imperial Examination. Tong Tiehu, though a low-ranking official in Daqi, was officially registered in the government office andpletely outranked him.


    How could this be…


    Tong Tiehu never interfered with Qiao family matters before!


    He clenched his fist in secret, dropped his eyes, take a deep breath, and said, “Uncle Tong, my second brother is my mother’s own son after all, she truly loves him.”


    “Stop beating around the bush! Just tell me if you knew it or not!” Tong Tiehu ignored his nonsense, demanding a clear answer.


    Sun Junyan took another deep breath and squeezed a few words out of his mouth reluctantly, “I tried to dissuade her.”


    “Huh— ” Tong Tiehu sneered, his face and words filled with even deeper


    ridicule, “Such persuasion as just now, twisting property seizure into loving care?”


    Sun Junyan’s face turned from pale to flushed, “Uncle Tong, my mother really loves my second brother…”


    As soon as he said this, he heardughter.


    Usually, people wouldn’t dare tough at him. His status as a schr was enough tomand the respect of most people in Anping Vige. Moreover, his extraordinary temperament ensured that apart from the Tong family, everyone else was always polite to him.


    He subconsciously looked towards the source of theughter.


    It was Qiao Xiaomai.


    This unexpectedly changed niece,pletely unexpected niece.


    Qiao Xiaomai saw him looking over, chuckled, and asked in return, “Both Grandma and Uncle Five say that they love my dad, can 1 ask for some specifics about how you love him?”
