Chapter 702: Chapter 702: Talking Sense is Useless, You Can Only Fight
Tong Tiehu looked at the steaming and flushed face of Tong Xingda and took a deep breath, “You,e into the room with me.”
He was so angry he couldn’t breathe, he felt like his energy had been drained. All he wanted to do at this moment was lie down and rest.
But he couldn’t.
He couldn’t rest.
If Tong Xingda really publicized the matter, Qiao Xiaomai would definitely expose the deceptive marriage. With Yang Ye’s backing, the Tong Family could never win.
Ultimately, the one who would suffer would be the Tong Family.
Moreover, Tong Sang’s examination for the Imperial Exam in the Prefecture City wasing up. Whether he could pass it or not not only depended on Tong Sang’s ability but also the Emperor’s decision. What if the Emperor allowed Tong Sang to hold the position of a government schr?
Thus, they must repeat what they did some time ago: remain quiet and stay out of trouble.
Tong Xingda must be suppressed.<div>
So annoying, this group of blockheads, so annoying!
Tong Tiehu grabbed Tong Xingda’s ear and dragged him back to the room for re-education, leaving only Mrs. Qian, Mrs. Zhang, who was lying on the ground, and the Tong Dng’s family in the courtyard.
Mrs. Qian muttered something and went into the kitchen to cook.
Tong Dng walked over and helped Zhang Shi up. The effects of the Truth Elixir would naturally fade away. Once he got through this period, everything would be fine.
After leaving Zhang Shi’s room, however, his gaze shifted towards Li Rou.
Just like him, a troubled expression was stered on Li Rou’s face.
The heartless words from Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sang were a harsh reality. Especially Qiao Xiaomai, wanting to cut ties with the Tong family.
To sever ties means not even Zhang Shi and Tong Xingda could reap any benefits.
What about their family?
Moreover, the sixteen hundred taels previously given by Qiao Xiaomai were all in Tong Xingda’s hands, and only Zhang Shi knew the recipe. In other words, his family only received the recipe for Braised Pork.@@novelbin@@
Yet they couldn’t take any action either. Looking at what happened to Zhu Hongyun, they could see that. They even forced Zhu Hongyun to smash her own family kitchen.
This was too horrific!
They’d only received a Braised Pork recipe, yet they were used of being greedy, such injustice!
Unbeknownst to Tong Dng and his wife, Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sang were heading towards Zhu Family Vige on an ox cart.
Darkness quickly fell, and Tong Sang lit thentern.
Thentern’s light was barely enough to illuminate their path, coupled with the rugged road. In order to avoid any difort for Zhu Hongyun, Tong Sang was driving the ox cart very slowly.
The entire way, Qiao Xiaomai didn’t utter a word.
She just nkly stared at the blurry crops by the roadside, remaining silent.
Zhu Hongyun was curled up, quietly weeping. It was really terrifying, the thought of being forced to ruin her own family’s kitchen. How could she face her family in the future?
And how would the people of the Zhu Vige view her?
Everybody knew that the Tong family was doing well, even though they had fallen on hard times, they were still better off than most families. Now, she was even pregnant and was forced to apologize in public by her younger siblings. God, she could never go back to the Zhu Vige again.
She was too ashamed!
Biting her lips, Zhu Hongyun spoke up, “Xiaomai, you…”
“Give it up, begging me is useless,” Qiao Xiaomai interrupted her as soon as Zhu Hongyun said her name. “Reasoning doesn’t work with people like you. The only way is to fight.”
“This time, after I beat you half to death, let’s see if you dare to stir up trouble again.”
Zhu Hongyun was left speechless.
She bit her lip again, remaining silent.
Damn it.
Damn it!
Her impression of Qiao Xiaomai wasrgely based on the weak and ipetent original host that Zhu Cuiying had described to her. So even though Qiao Xiaomai now had significant backing, she was still daring enough to provoke Zhang Shi to act against Qiao Xiaomai.
But at this moment, she was truly afraid.
