C29 Tong Shuqing!

Mother Li said slowly with a calm face, “Second Lady, the green bean lily soup can still be warm after it cools down. However, if you do something that is difficult to stop, then it will be troublesome.”

Tong Xiuchun looked at Mother Li’s calm face and felt fear for no reason. Although he was unwilling, his heart was beating fast. In the end, he followed Mother Li to the backyard.

…

In the backyard.

When Tong Xiuchun arrived, Old Madame Tong Shuqing was sitting in front of the yellow rosewood rosewood rosewood rosewood round table and eating. Hearing Tong Xiuchun’s voice, Tong Shuqing raised her eyelids and said lightly, “He’s here.”

“My niece greets Aunt.” Tong Xiuchun walked to Tong Shuqing and bowed.

Tong Shuqing didn’t say anything. She made a hand gesture to let Tong Xiuchun sit down on the table and asked Mother Li to fill a bowl of rice for Tong Xiuchun. It was indeed the green bean lily soup. However, Tong Xiuchun didn’t have the mood to eat. She wanted to say something a few times, but looking at Tong Shuqing’s expression, she swallowed it down. She could only eat the soup in her bowl. It was as if it was wax.

Although Tong Shuqing was the old mistress of the Mu Family and her grandson Mu Changlin was already seventeen years old, Tong Shuqing was only fifty years old. She was beautiful and charming to begin with. She had been doted on by Grandfather Mu all these years and had been living well. Although she was the grandmother, at first glance, she looked like a beautiful woman in her thirties. Sitting together with Tong Xiuchun like this didn’t seem like two generations of people. Instead, they looked like two sisters. Moreover, Tong Shuqing had a charming charm that Tong Xiuchun didn’t.

“Finished?” Tong Shuqing looked at Tong Xiuchun, who was not worried at all. She handed her a handkerchief and said slowly, “Have you lost your temper?”

Tong Xiuchun gripped the handkerchief and said unconvincingly, “Why are you stopping me, Aunt? That b*tch Deng Mei obviously wants to take the chance to please the eldest daughter and try to hurt her. She even bribed Ms. Zhang! How can I just sit here and wait for death?”

“Oh? Then tell me who gave her such a rare opportunity?” Tong Shuqing stood up and sat on the soft couch. She leaned on the soft pillow and stretched out her delicate hand. Then, a servant came over and kneeled on the ground to help her take care of her nails.

“This…” Tong Xiuchun was speechless for a moment. She went over and sat on the other side of Tong Shuqing. She lowered her head and said unwillingly, “I was indeed reckless this time. I didn’t discuss with Aunt and did things on my own. However, that girl is the eldest daughter of the Mu Family. She has a powerful father. As long as she is around, she will suppress Fu’Er for the rest of her life. She can choose whatever she wants. Maybe even the Fourth Prince will think highly of her! As the mother, I can’t not think about Fu’Er. If Mu Jie’s marriage is better than Fu’Er’s, how can I… How can I tolerate it?”

Tong Xiuchun was already gnashing her teeth and her eyes were red. Tong Shuqing glanced at her and waved her hand. Then, Mrs. Li left with the servants in the room.

After the servants left, Tong Shuqing slowly asked, “Can you not tolerate Mu Jia marrying a better man than Fu Er? Or can you not tolerate the daughter of the Kang Clan marrying a better man than your daughter?”

“Aunt!” Tong Xiuchun was shocked and his face turned pale. He didn’t say anything, but his hands were clenched tightly.

Tong Shuqing sighed and said, “Even I can tell what you are thinking, let alone your bedmate. I heard that since Mu Jia came to the Mu Mansion, Lei’er has been staying in Fangmei Garden. He doesn’t return to his room to rest. Xiuchun, don’t you understand the reason?”

Tong Xiuchun’s eyes flashed but he didn’t say anything. His lips were trembling. It was obvious that Tong Shuqing was right.
