"This Liang Cheng!" Madam Zhang groaned in embarrassment, holding her foot and breathing in pain. She couldn't help cursing, "He deserves a bad death! He chose this opportunity to disgust me on purpose! What bad luck!"
Her roar seemed to shake the curtains. Grandma Zhang San took the ointment for bruises and sprains timidly, scooped out a little, and carefully applied the ointment to Mrs. Zhang.
Mrs. Zhang howled in pain. Liang Cheng had actually used a dirty trick. When he grabbed her legs, he almost broke her calves. Now when she pushed aside her skirt, she could see the two palm prints, which had turned blue and black.
The ointment was applied on the legs, and it felt cool, but it was followed by excruciating pain that made people scream. Mrs. Zhang screamed and subconsciously kicked Grandma Zhang San, kicking her out.
Grandma Zhang San fell to the ground, stunned.
Mrs. Zhang ignored her daughter-in-law's grievances. She was furious and nothing she did was going well recently. The whole house was in chaos.
The worst thing is that my daughter died.
Thinking of her daughter, Mrs. Zhang felt even worse.
Zhang Linghui is truly the most promising person in the Zhang family. No matter how big a trouble the family had in the past, at least there was Zhang Linghui in the Duke's Mansion who could help the family mediate.
But now that their daughter is dead, Xu Tongzhou and Xu Tongji are still too young...
Thinking of the humiliation she suffered today, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but get even more angry when she heard Grandma Zhang San crying: "Why are you crying? I'm not dead yet, and you keep crying like this. Do you really think I'm dead? "
Grandma Zhang San's face flushed. She didn't expect her mother-in-law to be so disrespectful to her. But even though she was angry, she hurriedly got up and tried to apply medicine to Madam Zhang, holding back her tears. "No, mother, I just feel sorry for you..."
Regardless of whether it was true or false, at least it was acceptable. Mrs. Zhang's expression eased a little. She glanced at her, snorted and sneered: "The Su family is a bunch of debt collectors..."
The atmosphere in the room was depressing.
Grandma Zhang San lowered her head and stood up only after the medicine was applied. Her voice was barely audible: "Mother, about Jingchan..."
Madam Zhang subconsciously wanted to curse again, but thinking that Zhang Linghui was already dead, and now there was only Zhang Jingchan in the family who could rely on her in the future, she took a deep breath and softened her tone: "Jingchan's illness can't be delayed forever, I will go to the Duke's Mansion to ask Sun Yuanpan to take a look tomorrow."
In fact, it is very difficult for a family like theirs to invite Judge Sun.
In the past, only when Master Zhang was ill could someone be invited through Zhang Linghui.
Grandma Zhang San felt much more relieved and hurried to thank him.
Mrs. Zhang was in a depressed mood. She originally wanted to go to the Su family to cause trouble, to reverse the reputation of Zhang Linghui for having an affair with Xu Rui before marriage and breaking off the engagement, and to throw a basin of dirty water on the Su family so that the Xu family could vent their anger.
But in the end, it didn't get done.
Instead, it made things worse.
Thinking of how many people were watching at that time, Mrs. Zhang looked unhappy. She raised her hand to rub her brows, and then the maid reported that someone from the Xu family had come.
Madam Zhang sat up in a hurry. She pulled the wound because she got up too hastily. She gasped in pain and said to Third Madam, "Please come in!"
Grandma Zhang San did not dare to delay. After all, the future of the children in the family now depended on the Xu family. She responded, walked out of the door quickly, and saw Mother Li coming towards her.
Mother Li walked slowly and calmly, with a decent smile on her face as always.
Grandma Zhang San unconsciously felt that she was a head shorter than them. She greeted them kindly and said something indirectly about how difficult the Su family was. However, Mother Li remained calm. She just nodded slightly and walked into Mrs. Zhang's door with a smile.
Mrs. Zhang had already sat up. When she saw Madam Li, she politely said, "Come and sit down, Madam! I can't move my feet. I'm really neglecting you."
Mrs. Li did not move, but bowed politely: "I am busy at home, and I dare not delay anything. Madam, may I ask what happened today?"
Mrs. Zhang swallowed her saliva. She actually had an idea in her mind. She knew that Mother Li came for this matter. She put away the smile on her face and shook her head in embarrassment: "The Su family is too cunning. They have already found Liang Cheng and Xiao Cuixian from the beginning... I have no choice..."
Mother Li's expression did not change at all, but the disdain in her eyes almost overflowed: "In other words, you didn't accomplish the task again?"
She raised her hand to interrupt Madam Zhang's explanation and sighed softly, "Madam, there is no need to explain. I am just a servant, responsible for passing on messages. I can't take care of other things."
Mrs. Zhang suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Being a relative is really frustrating.
They are the women, but they always have to cling to the men and can't even raise their heads. Now it's even worse, a servant can be so arrogant and rude to them.
But people have to bow their heads under the eaves. Mrs. Zhang looked a little bad and said embarrassedly: "I did everything my in-law asked me to do, but the Su family was too cunning, and this was not something I could have predicted..."
"It's okay." Mother Li said immediately, "It's just that our Madam wants to inform you of something. When our Second Master is buried, Master Tongji has to break the pot."
What's the meaning
Grandma Zhang San suddenly looked towards Mother Li with a surprised look.
Mrs. Zhang was so shocked that she couldn't help but refute after a while: "How can this be possible?!"
What does this mean
Xu Tongji is not Xu Ying’s son!
At this point, she suddenly realized what was happening. She stared at Mother Li with her eyes wide open. Even her voice changed: "What do you mean? Are you going to let my grandson..."
Mother Li was neither humble nor arrogant, and her expression did not change at all. She said politely, "This is the grandson of the Duke's Mansion. The Duke and the Duke's wife are their ancestors, and they will not harm Master Tongji. Master Tongji was close to the Second Master in the past, and the Second Master passed away suddenly and at a young age. The Duke and the Duke's wife did not want him to be alone, and there would be no one to inherit the family line, so they made this decision. Master Tongji is a sensible child, and he will understand."
Mrs. Zhang clenched her fists tightly, feeling as uncomfortable as if a fly had been eaten.
It sounds so high-sounding, but in fact, isn't it just to adopt Xu Tongji to Xu Ying as the one who will see him off to the end of his life? !
But why? !
That was the child her daughter had worked so hard to give birth to, and from now on, she couldn't call her daughter "mother" or "grandmother"?! The Xu family was too disgusting!
