"Slander?" Tao sneered. "I heard your foul language clearly, and I saw you hugging each other with my own eyes. Is this still slander?"
He Shuliang's eyes flickered, and seeing that Tao was not giving in, he couldn't help but frown.
"Okay Yixin, things are not as serious as you think. She and I haven't crossed the line yet."
Tao's eyes were filled with terrifying coldness. She looked at the man beside her with red eyes and felt extremely chilled.
It hasn't come to that? Can we just pretend nothing happened?
She said in a hoarse voice, "He Shuliang, sometimes I really doubt whether you are my father-in-law's biological son. Why are you so mediocre? You are not even one-tenth as outstanding as my third brother."
These words hit He Shuliang's sore spot, and his face became extremely gloomy.
Yes, since he was a child, He Zheng has been a gifted child, and his father is proud of him.
My father treated my third brother much better than him and my eldest brother.
It was as if the third brother was his biological son and they were just adopted children.
He Shuliang's face was full of impatience: "Anyway, I said there is nothing between her and me. If there is anything, it was because she seduced me."
After saying that, he swung his sleeves fiercely and left without looking back.
Qin Yurong's eyes widened: "Second, Second Uncle, how can you shirk responsibility like this?"
She burst into tears.
When Tao saw her crying like that, her eyes started to spit fire.
"You still have the nerve to cry?" Tao raised her hand and slapped him hard.
"Ah——" Qin Yurong's cheeks were swollen on both sides.
Mrs. Tao said coldly, "If you don't want Mother and Huaixuan to know about what happened today, then you should stay at the manor and do your duty. You should do whatever I tell you to do."
Qin Yurong felt a deep sense of panic in her heart and bit her lip, not daring to refute.
To be honest, at this point, the love between Tao and He Shuliang had come to an end, but for the sake of her children He Hanxian and He Siyu, she gritted her teeth and had to go on.
Time passed by slowly, and she couldn't ruin her children's future because of a momentary impulse.
Now that Tao is the head of the household, she directly cuts down on Qin Yurong's food, clothing and other expenses, and arranges for a nanny to teach her the rules and regulations and to wash the clothes of the servants on the farm.
Qin Yurong went from being the king of the mountain on the farm to being a servant. She got up earlier than the chickens, slept later than the dogs, and ate worse than the servants.
What’s even worse is that the clothes pile up like small hills every day, and there is no way to wash them all. All ten of my fingers are rubbed red and have blisters.
Qin Yurong was in great pain, but she didn't dare to tell anyone.
Once her affair with the Second Master is exposed, since the Second Master is a member of the He family after all, Madam He will protect him.
And it was all her fault that she seduced the Second Master, and Madam He would definitely not forgive her.
If He Huaixuan knew, he would divorce her.
"Mingming, we did it so secretly, why were we discovered?" Qin Yurong's voice trembled.
…
Xie Qingyao heard about Qin Yurong's current situation at the manor and said calmly, "Second sister-in-law is putting the overall situation first. For the sake of the second house's future and reputation, she endured it."
"But I'm afraid Qin Yurong can't bear it."
Chulu: "What else can she do?"
Ning: "Qin Yurong has never been the kind of person who sits and waits for death. She will definitely find a way to get out of her current predicament instead of enduring torture day after day."
Zhitao suddenly thought of something, "Oh, right, Madam said that Qin Yurong hooked up with the Duke of Zhenguo's brother-in-law at the Queen's birthday banquet."
Wei Ninghui, the brother-in-law of the Duke of Zhenguo, is already married, but he likes other people's wives.
Xie Qingyao said, "Qin Yurong is currently living in a tight spot. If she wants to suffer less, she has to spend money to win people over. She will probably coax Wei Ninghui into giving her some valuables, and she will also try to convince Wei Ninghui to get rid of her second sister-in-law and second brother for her."
The maids were shocked.
Kill with a borrowed knife!
Qin Yurong is weak and can only rely on outsiders to help her eliminate those who threaten her.
The only people who knew about it were Tao and He Shuliang. Once they died, Qin Yurong's ugly deeds would be covered up and she would no longer have to worry.
Zhi Tao: "The Second Madam and the Second Master are in danger."
Ning looked at Xie Qingyao and asked in a low voice, "Madam, you must have anticipated this a long time ago."
If we were to ask who knows Qin Yurong's character best, it would be Xie Qingyao.
Xie Qingyao nodded lightly, "Yes, so what we have to do is to expose her again, and this time, the one who catches her cheating will be——"
She didn't say the name, but everyone knew it.
It’s time to let those who betrayed the lady feel the pain of being betrayed!
…
In the blink of an eye, it was the day for He Huaixuan to return home.
When I saw He Huaixuan again, his skin had turned darker from its original fair color and was no longer as delicate and tender as before.
He was wearing a plain blue robe and a wooden crown to tie his hair. His figure looked much stronger, and he lacked the refinement of a nobleman, but instead had a bit more dignified air.
"Grandson meets grandmother." He Huaixuan greeted everyone one by one.
When he faced Xie Qingyao, his face was calm and he said respectfully, "Mother."
After training in the military camp, this man became much calmer and his temperament became more settled.
Xie Qingyao calmly scratched the armrest, with a proper smile on her face, acting like a loving elder.
He Zheng saw that she had a kind face and a smile flashed across his eyes, but then he returned to his majestic and stern expression.
Everyone had lunch together.
Mrs. He sighed, her once well-behaved and humble grandson has returned.
He Huaixuan turned back into the prince he used to be, as if all the absurd things in the past were just a dream.
However, when she thought of Qin Yurong, Mrs. He's smile faded a little.
