Chapter 689: The Domineering Aunt
Tong Yan ran out quickly and saw someone standing at the gate.
"Arui? Why are you here?" Tong Yan was so surprised that he couldn't stop smiling.
"Sister, you..."
Tong Rui looked at the pretty figure running towards her, unable to hide the surprise on her face.
It was not until Tong Yan came to her and held her hands with both hands, and his warm hands made her cold hands feel a little warm, that she truly felt the change in Tong Yan.
"Sister, are you really okay?" Tong Rui widened her eyes in disbelief.
"Arui, I'm fine now. Look, it was Fubao who cured me. By the way, you haven't seen Fubao yet, right? Come on in, I'll take you to see Fubao."
Tong Yan held Tong Rui's hand with one hand, lifted her skirt with the other hand, stepped over the threshold and entered the yard.
Everyone in the kitchen had already arrived in the yard.
"Fubao, come quickly, look who's here? This is your aunt, my biological sister."
Fubao had already secretly looked at Tongrui from the side.
"I think I've seen this aunt before."
Tong Rui let go of Tong Yan's hand and came to Fu Bao.
She squatted down, looked at Fubao's face carefully, then suddenly covered her mouth and laughed.
"Of course I have. You couldn't even walk at that time, but you saved my aunt's life. Do you still remember this?"
The onlookers were all dumbfounded.
Old Mrs. Wan and Second Sister-in-law Wan suddenly remembered something.
"Madam, have you ever been to Da Qi? I remember that when we were in exile, we had the opportunity to go to the county town to buy things. At that time, Fubao saved a lady, and the lady gave Fubao a jade token. We used the jade token to buy many things without asking for money. Could that lady be you?"
Old Mrs. Wan remembered it clearly. At that time, only she and Second Sister-in-law Wan knew about this matter. Even Third Sister-in-law Wan and Mrs. Liu did not know about it.
"Old Madam, you have a very good memory. That's right, I was murdered and was about to give birth. It was Fubao who found me and called my servants over. Only then was I able to give birth to a child. It was fate and blood that cannot be erased."
Tongrui stood up and touched Fubao's little face.
"Madam, my name is Tongrui. You can call me Arui like my elder sister. I came here to see my elder sister. I am relieved to see that she is fine."
Old Mrs. Wan quickly invited everyone into the main room, where there was a brazier and a thick cotton curtain on the door, which blocked out a lot of the cold.
Pinellia and Angelica dahurica brought the tea quickly.
When a female guest came to the house, Wan Laoer, Jia Yanbing and Tong Rui greeted each other and then left.
After everyone gave up their seats to each other, Fubao nestled next to Old Lady Wan and looked at the women in the room, all of whom were her relatives.
"Aunt, is your child okay now?" Fubao was still a little worried when he thought of the child he had never met.
"He's fine. You'll be able to meet him next year. But he's a little old, not as lively and cute as you are. You'll have to take good care of him when the time comes."
When Tong Rui thought of her youngest son, a look of helplessness appeared on her face.
Fu Bao smiled and said, "Okay, is he a younger brother or a younger sister?"
"Brother, if it were me, I would definitely not be so mature. Sometimes I feel like he is a little old man. In my heart, he seems older than me. Sometimes he even looks down on me. Alas."
Tong Rui sighed and looked so hopeless that Fu Bao laughed.
"Haha, then my brother must be very smart, right? My aunt is very smart. She only looks down on others if they are smarter than her."
Fubao felt that this younger brother, whom he had never met, must be the same type of person as himself.
"Well, if you put it that way, then it's true. He is indeed very smart and has a photographic memory. Even at such a young age, he has been able to make our family's account book very clear. Now the accountant is afraid of him."
As Tong Rui spoke, she couldn't hide the smile on her face.
"My brother is a child prodigy, so I should be happy. So why did you come to Daqi?"
Fubao asked out of curiosity, but unexpectedly Tongrui's expression changed.
"Fubao, I came to Daqi to deal with some personal matters. First, I sent your mother to see you, and second, it's for you and your mother's affairs. But it's not convenient for me to talk about these now. I'll tell you later. By the way, did you get the jade token?"
Tong Rui changed the subject. Fubao knew that she shouldn't have asked that question, so she immediately and obediently pulled out a red rope from her neck. At one end of the red rope was the jade token.
"Seeing you wearing it, I feel relieved. At least, you and your mother are safe in Daqi. I also brought this for you this time."
Tong Rui took out a stack of house deeds from her arms. It was a really thick stack.
Tong Rui handed it to Tong Yan.
"Sister, this is where I went back to Yue last year. I bought houses in some prefectures and prosperous counties that I passed by. They are all named Fubao. This is my gift to my niece. When you want to go out, you don't have to stay in an inn. There are people guarding the houses. You can move in anytime you want."
Tong Yan took the thick stack of papers and was a little dumbfounded.
"Arui, you..."
"Sister, I know you're going to accuse me of being silly again, but what do we make money for? Ever since you got into trouble this time, I've finally understood that money is just a thing outside of one's body. I didn't write your name on these deeds because you're not a registered resident of Da Qi. I wrote Fubao's name. From now on, we'll just be happy. We can live as happily as we want. Our family is rich and we have many houses to move in. If you're tired of living in this place, we can change to another environment. Just be happy and let go of all the anger you've endured in the palace over the years."
Tong Rui held Tong Yan's hand with heartache.
Tong Yan opened his mouth but said nothing and silently handed the house deed to Fu Bao.
"Fubao, this is a gift from your aunt, please accept it."
If it was given to Tongyan, she would definitely not want it, but since it was given to her daughter, she couldn't refuse.
Tong Rui knows her sister best, and she will not refuse anything related to her daughter.
Fubao took the deeds and looked at them. They were all large houses with five courtyards and even a manor. They were not something that could be bought casually. Even though Fubao had seen so many wealthy people, he couldn't imagine how much money the Tong family had.
"Aunt, how much money does our family have? Why are you so arrogant?" Fubao asked curiously.
Tong Rui burst into laughter upon hearing this. "My dear, remember this. As long as you feel uncomfortable in Da Qi, I can buy an army to attack your dog emperor. But now is not the time to attack your emperor. I have to deal with the dog emperor of Yue first. He bullied your mother and you. Before, your mother was in their hands, so I was afraid to act rashly. Now that your mother is free, I can let go and do something big. So you have to take good care of your mother for me, and wait for me to deal with that dog emperor first."
Tong Rui spoke very easily, as if dealing with an emperor was as easy as crushing an ant. However, to everyone's ears, it was like thunder in a clear sky, making their heads buzz.
Fubao, who usually behaves like a little adult, was so shocked that he stood there in a daze.
"Aunt, is this okay for you?" Fubao asked weakly.
