C30 If She Wasn't too Stupid, Then She Was too Smart!

Tong Shuqing shook her head and sighed, “Mu Cheng didn’t want to marry you back then because the Mu Family and the Tong Family were bound to marry each other. After that, my aunt decided to let Lei marry you. Lei has been looking at you for a long time. I have hurt you for all these years. My aunt loves you so much, so I let you take charge of the Mu Family. Not only that, I have helped you stop so many flowers and plants from coming to the east courtyard. Otherwise, there would only be one aunt in the east courtyard, Deng Mei. So as long as you don’t do anything wrong, my aunt has never interfered in the matters of the east courtyard.”

Back then, the Tong Family had the idea of marriage alliance with the Mu Family. The Tong Family was not the same as before. Tong Shuqing’s brother, Tong Yaohu, was prosperous in the Ministry of War. Mu Cheng was naturally the one Mu Sheng wanted. At that time, he wanted his eldest son, Mu Cheng, to marry Tong Xiuchun. Tong Shuqing also wanted to control the big house through marriage alliance.

However, Mu Cheng had a marriage arranged by his family since he was a child. It was the daughter of the Kang Family, Kang Rimei. However, the Kang Family gradually declined. It was inevitable that Mu Sheng would not like her. So, he made up his mind to destroy the marriage with the Kang Family. However, Mu Cheng refused to do so. He even went to the capital and married Kang Rimei. Later on, the father and son became enemies. Mu Cheng left the capital and went to the Shu Lands with Kang Rimei.

Later on, Tong Shuqing made the decision to let her son, Mu Lei, marry Tong Xiuchun. The two of them felt wronged. One felt that he picked up a piece of trash that his big brother didn’t like. The other gritted his teeth and said that Mu Cheng was blind and Mu Lei was unworthy of her.

The couple who shared the same bed had been living a peaceful life. At first glance, they seemed to be good friends, but as Mu Jia came, Tong Xiuchun’s heart was stirred up. Mu Lei started to feel disgusted with what happened before, so he started to treat Tong Xiuchun coldly.

Seeing that Tong Xiuchun didn’t say anything, Tong Shuqing said, “Aunt knows you are bitter, but isn’t Lei’er bitter? He was disgusted with your past with the eldest wife. If he knew that you were still thinking about the eldest wife, even a yellow-haired girl could make you lose your mind. How would Lei’er think? If you were still pointing your sword at Fang Meiyong at this moment, what would he think? Would he care about whether Second Aunt married the eldest wife or not? Would he care about what happened in the past? If he really started to think about it, who would be the unlucky one in the end?”

Tong Xiuchun’s heart suddenly thumped. She was so angry that she didn’t think of this. Hearing Tong Shuqing’s analysis, she suddenly felt cold sweat all over her body. She panted and hurriedly knelt on the ground and said to Tong Shuqing, “Thank you for your advice, Aunt. It’s all my fault for being stupid.”

“It’s a blessing that you didn’t go to Fang Meiyong today,” Tong Shuqing said slowly. She helped Tong Xiuchun up and took a sip. Then, she continued, “Aunt knows that you don’t like the girl from the eldest wife, but you really shouldn’t do anything to her. Instead of using a stupid method like poisoning her, you might as well do something to Changfeng. If she has a messy brother, do you think she can marry into a high-class family? Can she stop Fu’er?”

Tong Xiuchun thought, “Aunt, did you think of a way?”

“Don’t worry about it now. That Zhang Feng hasn’t come to the capital yet.” Tong Shuqing smiled and sipped her tea. She stroked her bright red nails and said, “Don’t provoke that girl anymore. I see that she has a big chest. You can’t beat a fox without hitting it.”

Tong Xiuchun was stunned and then said in a low voice, “Aunt, do you think that girl has realized that something is wrong with the medicine? But she still drank the medicine three times a day.”

Tong Shuqing smiled coldly and said, “Then she is either too stupid or too smart. I would rather believe that she is the latter.”

Tong Xiuchun felt uneasy when he heard that and said, “If that is true, that girl will probably complain to the eldest daughter in the future. Aunt, no matter what, we can’t let that bitch Fang Meiyuan go. Who knows if Mother Zhang has told her anything?”

“Are you anxious again?” Tong Shuqing glanced at Tong Xiuchun and said helplessly, “She is just an aunt. You don’t need to keep an eye on her all the time. Besides, hasn’t Mother Zhang been taken care of? Without this key figure, Second Aunt will have no one to complain to.”
