Chapter 510 Childhood Sweethearts
Han looked at Gu Ruinian and said to Tong Huaqiong, "You have severed your relationship with your second branch and don't usually interact with them. Don't mistake her for someone else."
Tong Huaqiong cast a grateful glance at Han. Han was helping her to clear up her relationship with Gu Ruinian.
What this means is that the two families have severed their relationship, and Gu Ruinian can no longer be considered her nephew.
What Gu Ruinian did has nothing to do with Tong Huaqiong.
Originally, when everyone heard that Gu Ruinian was Tong Huaqiong's nephew, they had a bad impression of Tong Huaqiong.
After hearing Han's words, she changed her mind and realized that it was no wonder that Tong Huaqiong said in public that he was her nephew. Whose nephew would do such a shameful thing and be so open about it without covering it up?
Doesn't that explain it?
It turned out that Tong Huaqiong and this madman were only nominal relatives and were actually not related at all.
Tong Huaqiong took another careful look and said to everyone, "It can't be wrong. Our second branch has partnered with someone to open a shop called Wu Ji, which is right opposite Jufulai. We can run into Ruinian from time to time these days. It can't be wrong."
Then Tong Huaqiong asked in surprise: "But why is Ruinian here?"
After saying this, he looked at Xu Zaohua meaningfully.
The drama in everyone's mind intensified again.
Since he is Tong Huaqiong’s nephew, he must have grown up in Qinghe Bay. Xu Zaohua is also from Qinghe Bay.
I’m afraid there’s some hidden secret behind the affection we had growing up together in the countryside.
Gu Taohua shouted heartlessly: "Ruinian and Zaohua have been good friends since they were young, so it's fine if you two are good friends, but why did you sneak into the Madam's room together as thieves?"
The ladies looked at each other, and it was just as they had guessed, a childhood sweetheart relationship.
But soon everyone's doubts increased again. Even if these two people were having an affair, how could they sneak into the bedroom of the mistress of the Lian family?
The more I think about it, the more unreasonable it seems.
After hearing this, Gu Ruinian and Xu Zaohua wished they could die of shame and anger.
Gu Ruinian raised his eyelids and quickly closed them again. He saw Miss Lian Er standing opposite him and staring at him coldly. He suddenly felt a chill in his heart. Miss Lian Er had always known about his intentions.
He thought that after today he would become the good son-in-law of the Lian family, but he didn't expect that he would become a clown instead.
Gu Ruinian did not regret wanting to marry Miss Lian Er. What he regretted was that he should not have believed Xu Zaohua's words and should not have cooperated with Mr. Lian Er. It was the two of them who pushed him to the bottom of the valley.
If he had been more cautious, the outcome would have been different.
"You two, ah, what can people say about you. It's so embarrassing, running into other people's homes to steal things. Sister Zaohua, you are the eldest lady of the Zheng family, and you still steal? Ruinian, although your family's conditions are not as good as the Zheng family, your family has enough food and drink. Why do you become a thief? If this gets out, our Qinghe Bay will be disgraced by you." Gu Taohua finished her play and ran to Tong Huaqiong with a sigh.
Gu Ruinian hated Gu Taohua to death.
He hated Tong Huaqiong even more, who looked like she saw through everything with a playful look on her face. He felt so ashamed and angry that he wanted to die when he thought that the mother and daughter had seen through his intentions.
Hua's mind was in a mess and she was shaking with anger.
She wanted to beat Xu Zaohua and Gu Ruinian to death on the spot.
Someone sneaked into her bedroom. How can she hold her head up high from now on?
If the rumors spread, who knows how they would end up ostracizing her.
Hua completely forgot the role her second son played in this.
"You country bastards, you sneaked into my room to have an affair. Why don't you tie up these two adulterous bitches and report them to the police? I don't care if she is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zheng family. No, there is no need to report to the police. Let the Zheng family oppress her, expel her from the ancestral hall, and throw her into a pig cage."
"Adulterer and adulterer."
Hua went up and scratched Gu Ruinian and Xu Zaohua.
Tang stood there without moving.
The ladies looked at each other, and someone said to Tang, "Why don't you go and notify the Zheng family to come and pick them up?"
It is not the Lian family's turn to intervene in the Zheng family's affairs. Even if the eldest young lady Zheng was having an affair in the Lian family, the adulterer was not from the Lian family, so there was nothing they could do about it.
Tang was reminded to send someone to inform Zheng family.
At this time, Xu Zaohua suddenly jumped up, hugged Hua's legs and cried bitterly, "Madam Lian, please, don't tell the Zheng family, don't tell the Zheng family, if you tell the Zheng family, I will be finished."
Xu Zaohua burst into tears.
She thought of many countermeasures in her mind, but couldn't figure out how to deal with it.
She only knew that she couldn't be handed over to the Zheng family.
"Not telling the Zheng family? You and your adulterer had an affair here with me and beat my son. Since you don't let me tell the Zheng family, then I'll call the police." Hua was so angry that her chest ached. When she thought of her own son, she hated him even more.
What is the difference between reporting to the police and telling the Zheng family?
This old hag Hua pretends to be a victim. Why did this happen in her yard? Doesn't she have any idea?
Trying to put the blame on her now? No way.
Since she was not allowed to have her own good life, she dragged Hua and the second young master Lian into the water.
Xu Zaohua looked at everyone, gritted her teeth and said: "Ladies, think about it, which lady's room can let outsiders enter at will? I just came in. Recently, Miss Lian Er has been arranging a marriage for my brother-in-law. Because Miss Lian Er is capable, I don't want to become a sister-in-law with her. Mr. Lian Er said that there is a way to make this marriage fall through, and asked me to take advantage of today's banquet to discuss the matter in the lady's courtyard. I just got here..."
"How shameless! You are trying to drag our Second Young Master and Second Young Miss into your Zheng family's affairs. Do you think our Lian family is easy to bully? Not only did you knock one of them out, you also dragged the Second Young Miss into this. Why don't you stuff her mouth and let her talk nonsense to taint everyone's ears? What a shame it would be if it got out."
A crisp and angry voice was heard.
The eldest daughter-in-law, Tang, seemed to have just woken up and quickly had someone stuff cloth into Xu Zaohua's mouth and tie up her hands.
"That lunatic should be beaten to death."
The old woman who tied up Xu Zaohua took the opportunity to punch Gu Ruinian, knocking him unconscious.
Tong Huaqiong turned around and saw a woman who was wearing plain homely clothes and looked pretty, and a dignified middle-aged man coming hand in hand.
Lian Hengruo called out "Dad" and "Mom" with a voice full of grievance.
Tong Huaqiong understood that the woman who was speaking was Lian Hengruo's biological mother, Aunt Tang.
Aunt Tang performed well as soon as she appeared on the stage. She immediately had Xu Zaohua's mouth sealed and knocked Gu Ruinian unconscious.
This approach is much smarter than Hua's. If Xu Zaohua is allowed to finish her words, it will be confirmed that the deceitful Gu Ruinian wants to deal with Lian Hengruo. If this gets out, it will have a great impact on Lian Hengruo.
Hua and Tang felt very uncomfortable. Why did Aunt Tang and the master come?
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had a headache. Whenever something bad happened to the Lian family, Aunt Tang and Lian Hengruo could always get some benefits from it. In this way, the mother and daughter took over the family's pearl business step by step.
Aunt Tang bowed to all the ladies, and her eyes specifically fell on Tong Huaqiong and Gu Taohua.
These ladies hurriedly avoided and gave Aunt Tang a friendly smile. Tong Huaqiong was surprised. You know, in this era with clear hierarchy, these wives could actually show kindness to a junior wife.
It can be seen that Aunt Tang’s methods are extraordinary.
Tong Huaqiong had complicated thoughts.
No matter how clear the hierarchy is, everyone is still a human being, and as a human being, you have emotions. As a concubine, Aunt Tang does not dress coquettishly. Every time she appears in front of everyone, she has the image of a good woman. Therefore, she has won the favor of these wives.
They all hope that their aunts can be as pleasing to the eye as Aunt Tang.
