Not to mention that when Tong Guowei's wife found out that her son had taken a fancy to her father-in-law's concubine, she was so angry that she trembled all over.
When Yinreng called them over, Orondai and Tong Qinian, who were gathered together, also looked very unwell.
Orondai and Tong Qinian have always avoided each other.
One is the elder brother that Tong Wanyan has called for sixteen years, and the other is the elder brother by blood. Both of them want to compete for this title.
Even though Tong Qinian was clever and managed to completely fool Orondai, who was more than ten years his senior, he was still inferior to Orondai in front of outsiders. A fake elder brother can never become a real elder brother.
"Your Highness, you're not going to show off your jade thumb ring again, are you?" Orondai asked, still shaken.
Yinreng said with a sour face, "Tenth Prince went to Xiao Yan to complain, I'm not going to show off."
Orondai patted his chest and exhaled: "Then what do you need from this servant and Tong Qinian? Is there anything Yuanbao needs? Just tell me. Even if it's a star in the sky, as long as Yuanbao wants it, this servant will pluck it down for her."
Tong Qinian stood to the side, remaining silent.
He lowered his eyes in deep thought. For Yinreng to come to them with this expression, it must be that Xiao Yan had been wronged, and the royal family could not intervene in this matter.
Upon further reflection, it seems that Longkodo went to Yuqing Palace this morning.
"But what Longkodo said was unpleasant to hear?" Tong Qinian pointed out incisively.
Yinreng nodded: "He has taken a fancy to his father-in-law's concubine and wants Xiaoyan to speak well of her and enhance her reputation."
Orondai was so angry he was practically fuming: "How dare he!"
"Not only that, he speaks very harshly," Yinreng added.
Alright, without Yinreng needing to say anything more, these two brothers-in-law are already itching to make their move.
“Orondai should make the first move,” Tong Qinian said.
Orondai proudly raised his head: "Don't worry, our family is the direct line of the Tongjia clan. With my father here, Longkodo won't get away with this. Besides, even if such actions didn't bother my sister, he should still be scolded. The reputation of the Tongjia clan cannot be ruined."
Originally, without Tong Wanyan's little wings fanning the wind, Galdan wouldn't have been defeated so quickly. And without Tong Ruita's life-saving intervention, Tong Guogang died on the battlefield, so the position of Tongjia clan leader naturally passed to Tong Guowei.
Currently, Tong Guogang is alive and well, and occasionally argues with Emperor Kangxi in court. Tong Guowei, despite his brother's death in battle and poor health, maintains absolute control over his household.
Longkodo wanted to be like him in history, domineeringly bringing people back to his mansion and spoiling Li Si'er so much that she would usurp the title of noblewoman of the Jue Luo clan—it was simply a pipe dream.
Orondai, Tong Qinian, and Yinreng had a brief meeting before rushing back to their residence.
Unsurprisingly, upon learning of this, Tong Guogang's eyebrows shot up and he nearly smashed the table with his hand.
"How dare you, you brat!" Tong Guogang roared.
Before Tong Guowei even got home, his elder brother called him over.
"Elundai, tell your second uncle everything you heard from the Crown Prince, word for word," Tong Guogang said to Tong Guowei, his tone irritating.
Not being offered a seat by his elder brother, and with a tone that seemed to be accusing him, Tong Guowei felt uneasy and obediently stood still.
Orondai respectfully repeated his words, and when he mentioned Longkodo, he couldn't help but want to curse.
In fact, he did indeed curse Longkodo in front of Tong Guowei.
The father is to blame for not teaching his son properly. Tong Guowei never imagined that his third son would be so bold and act so recklessly.
At least he's still alive. If he were dead, his entire branch of the family would be implicated and buried with Longkodo sooner or later.
