New book "Transmigrated into the Villain's Little Darling" is out!
The cute and invincible Tang Xiaonan transmigrated into the foolish supporting female character of a period dram...
Mrs. Li, Tang Baohui, looked at Li Hongming with disbelief. How could this man be so heartless?
"You...you really want to take me to court for this vixen? My Tang family is no small family, and we are not afraid of you, Li Hongming."
Tang Baohui sneered. To be able to marry into the Li family, her Tang family was certainly not an ordinary family. Although it was not as good as the Li family, it was still a respectable one. Her father worked in a government department and his position was not low. Several of her brothers also worked in government departments. Back then, Old Master Li and her father were acquainted and arranged this marriage.
Unfortunately, her father had passed away, and her brothers were not as capable as him, holding somewhat awkward positions that were neither high nor low. However, compared to ordinary families, the Tang family still had some influence.
That's why Tang Baohui dared to stand up to Li Hongming head-on – she was relying on her family's influence.
Li Hongming mocked, "I told your elder brother about you switching my pills. Your elder brother said that the Tang family is unfortunate to have such a wicked woman like you. He will restrain the family members and stop associating with you to avoid ruining the Tang family's reputation."
Tang Baohui's face drained of color, and she exclaimed, "You... what pill? I don't understand what you mean."
She was very careful, keeping it a secret even from her three children. She made the pills herself, using vitamins mixed with honey and flour, and rolled them into pills of similar size so they looked almost identical. How did Li Hongming discover that?
No wonder this old man kept saying he would send her to prison. She thought he was just saying it out of anger, but it turns out her affair had been exposed.
Tang Baohui looked panicked but denied it outright. However, her panic said it all. Ye Qingqing smiled sarcastically. This woman looked smart, but she was actually as stupid as a pig. She wanted to do something bad, but Li Hongming was even more stupid. He almost let this woman succeed.
Li Hongming sneered, "It's fine if you don't admit it. Zhang Ma saw you switch the pills. There are witnesses and physical evidence. You can't deny it. The charge of murdering your husband is enough to keep you in prison for the rest of your life. Do you think the Tang family will still acknowledge you?"
Still not satisfied, he added, "Your little niece has been getting very close to the young master of the Cai family lately, and she may very well become the young mistress of the Cai family. If your bad deeds are exposed, do you think your little niece will still have a chance to marry into the Cai family?"
Tang Baohui's face turned pale, her lips trembled uncontrollably, and she had lost all her previous confidence.
She knew Li Hongming wasn't bluffing. Her eldest brother's youngest daughter was indeed getting married to the Cai family's son. The Cai family and the Li family were of similar status, and her other nieces had married into families of mediocre status, which displeased her eldest and second eldest brothers because they offered no help to the Tang family. If her youngest niece could marry into the Cai family, the Tang family might rise to a higher level.
At this critical juncture, no mistakes can be made, and her brothers' affection for her as a sibling is nothing special; they certainly won't stand up for her.
Li Hongming watched coldly, without a shred of pity. Tang Baohui had crossed his bottom line, and he would not show any mercy.
The Tang family is no longer the same as it used to be. Back then, his father-in-law was adept at currying favor and flattering, which allowed the Tang family to barely make it into the upper echelons of society. After his father-in-law passed away, his two brothers-in-law were not as successful as him, and the Tang family declined year by year. They never attended a single gathering of the upper echelons of society.
However, his brother-in-law had three beautiful daughters who looked remarkably like their aunt, Tang Baohui. Tang Baohui was famous in Hong Kong for her beauty, which is why she was able to marry into the Li family. But Old Master Li never expected that Tang Baohui was all looks and no brains; otherwise, he certainly wouldn't have married such a woman who would ruin his grandson.
