Chapter 832: Strong Counterattack
i, Chief, here is the organized file directory I put together. Please take a look."Wei Yi took the folder, looked at it carefully, and nodded with satisfaction:"Ripple, you're doing very well. It seem...Tang Huirong didn't wait for news of the Su Mansion carriage's return, but she received word that her youngest son had volunteered to sleep in the same bed as the Wu family merchant and they had made a good match.
What What happened Who saw it
Tang Huirong gritted her teeth and asked, while the gentleman beside her had already plopped down on a chair, his eyes darkened, almost fainting.
The eldest daughter at home said with a sullen face:
It was about last night's incident. I heard Wu Ni boasting arrogantly at the dinner table, so I went up to her and argued with her. As a result, she said that the person was now at her mansion and that I could go see for myself if I didn't believe her.
He also said that our Tang family was putting on a show, claiming we were reluctant when he came to propose. As a result, his own son went to her bed the next day.
Tangziya was also very angry.
At the beginning, my younger brother strongly disagreed. Since he disagreed, how could he have gone to bed with someone else However, Wu Ni's story was detailed and seemed plausible, making it hard to believe she was lying.
"Mother, didn't you say that my younger brother was going to Sujiazhuang in Su family's carriage How did he end up at Wuni"
Tang Ziya asked, "
"
"What else can we do It's either Su Lianyi scheming against Zǐjūn, or the Wǔ family scheming against us. Now that things have come to this, we don't even have the option to back out."
Tang Huirong's face was a little pale, but she knew now wasn't the time to dwell on blame. She had to focus on her son first; otherwise, all her efforts would be for nothing.
"You and I go to the Wu family, see Zi Jun then speak again."
"Yes, Mother."
After tidying up, the two went to Wufu and met Tang Zijun, who was beaming with delight.
At this point, Tang Zijun had made up his mind. Since things had come to this, he had to make the choice most beneficial to himself. After all, he was a selfish person at heart.
As for the squabbles between his family and the Wu family, he didn't care. All he cared about was to grasp the benefits he had in hand.
He still remembered the terror and panic he felt when he woke up in a stranger's arms. However, after the other person revealed his identity and said he was very satisfied with him, he promised to take responsibility.
Once silks, jewels, and silver notes were laid before him, he began to waver. Especially when his cousin's guards arrived and spoke, he became even more resolute in his choice.
"Master Tang, if you are a wise man, you should not mention my young lady to your current wife and family."
"You have to know that a woman's possessiveness is very strong. If Wuni knew that you had feelings for your cousin, and even went to the widow's residence yourself, do you think she would still treat you like this, holding you in her palm"
After hearing this, Tang Zi-jun did not reply, while the other party continued to speak:
You're pitiful too. Although my young mistress dislikes you, she doesn't want to see you sold into slavery, so she came up with this plan as a way to help you.
This Wu Ni's business is booming, she's a wealthy woman. Although you are a second marriage, you are still the rightful husband. There are no in-laws above you to respect, so you will have an easier life.
The most important thing is that Mu Ni married a second husband because her previous husband only gave her two sons, no daughters. If you can give birth to a daughter, then your position after that will be unshakeable.
And your mother only wants to sell you for a good price. Although you are recommending yourself for the bed now, you can also tell Wuni that you truly want to marry her, but your mother wants to use your marriage to make a profit from the dowry and help your elder sister get married.
You don't want to be sold like a commodity, so you took the drastic step of breaking all ties and making yourself available for marriage with a mere dowry. This saves her money, and I believe Wu Ni will definitely be more satisfied with you.
Now that I've shown you the method, evaluate for yourself what benefits it offers you!
Of course, if you insist on staying with my young mistress, she has said that due to certain reasons, she will take you in as her servant. But since you are no longer a chaste man, she will never touch you for the rest of her life. You had better think carefully before making a decision."
But I got into the Su family's carriage, and someone saw me.
Tang Zijun said unconvinced.
“By that time, we were already outside the county, who saw it You have the ability to find witnesses. Anyway, Miss's two maidservants didn't see you.”
The lotus vendor said, "Whatever the young mistress tells me to say, I will say."
After she finished speaking, she wasted no time and directly scaled the wall. The walls of the Wu family couldn't stop her, but she wasn't comfortable staying in the county for long. That night, she quietly left Qingshan County.
Tangzi Jun spent a night thinking about it and made the decision that was most beneficial to himself. Although he wanted to marry his cousin, hoping for her future career advancement, it was now clear that there was no chance. So, he chose a life of wealth and the status of a legitimate husband.
Wǔ Ní had already learned of Lady Tang's plans from Táng Zǐjūn, and her charming husband was clearly leaning towards her. So when facing Táng Huìróng's ferocious face, she remained calm and bargained calmly, not allowing the other party to gain any advantage.
While Tang Huirong and Tang Ziyia were almost driven to fury, unfortunately, Tang Zijun, blinded by love, refused to cooperate. They couldn't force him to change his mind, so the matter ended with Tang Zijun getting married. This disgusted Tang Huirong so much that she fell ill in bed and was barely able to recover.
These things were all told to Ripple in a letter written by Zisu later. Ripple listened as if it was a joke, thinking that this Tang Zijun was indeed the son of Tang Huirong, both alike in their selfishness.
People from Sujiazhuang who went up the mountain had all returned, still with some harvest, enough for them to celebrate. On the very night they finished paying their taxes, a heavy rain poured down and the temperature noticeably dropped. Lian Yi also put on a padded jacket; although her soul had nourished her body for three months, it was still somewhat weak.
Just as the rain began to subside and the sky turned a gloomy gray, Wen Zhaoming and a group of people from Wenjia Village came to Sujiazhuang for help.
Miss, do you see them
Cuiflower asked.
"Please have them come in."
Ripples said directly, after all, they were neighbors, and there were acquaintances inside. If she could help, she wouldn't mind lending a hand.
After the people from the isothermal village came in, Wen Zhaoming stepped forward with red eyes, his voice trembling as he said:
Miss Su, Zhaoming begs you to lend me a horse. I need to save my sister.
"What's wrong with your sister Did she get hurt"
Ling ripples raised an eyebrow and asked.
She was sold by my cruel uncle. I just came down from the mountain and knew it was too late. Because it rained last night, I guessed they didn't go far, so I came to borrow a horse.
Wen Zhaoming's lips were pale, and his voice trembled.
At this time, the eldest daughter of the village head, Wen Jiahong, also spoke up:
Miss Su, we chased after you along the tire tracks. But our two legs can't outrun the wheels. Please help us.
The incident that happened in Wen Jia Village enraged the mother to no end. It wasn't a famine year, so they weren't desperate enough to be unable to survive. How could they sell their daughter And the one selling her was her married nephew.
So after the incident, the village head immediately told the women who had just come down the mountain to chase after them. Ming Ge'er was so angry that her whole body trembled and she insisted on following. She said that Miss Su had saved Yue Yue once, which gave her the courage to come knocking. to remind me over and over. I know I am a failure and I'm aware of it. I didn't want to stop my younger brother from returning to the Wu family. Rationally, I can accept it, but emotionally, I can't...
