Tong Guogang was angry at the Hesheli family's actions. Instead of making a fuss about rumors like the women, he began to oppose the Hesheli family in other ways!
For example, in the family business, or in the officialdom, they cause trouble! Because of the sudden death of the Empress, and the Emperor's ruthless treatment of the Hesheli family after her death, there are only a few truly talented members in the Hesheli family, and most of them are not yet grown up!

Tong Guowei's wife said to Tong Guowei in an annoyed tone, "What kind of thing has the eldest son's family done? And what is my sister-in-law doing? She just lets a concubine raise her illegitimate daughter, and look what kind of thing she has become! The Emperor's punishment for what she did was already merciful! But what about our daughter?"
Tong Guowei was also unhappy about Dafang's messy affairs. He had more than one daughter, two of whom were born of his principal wife. Both of them were entrusted to his wife for upbringing. At least the daughters he raised would not be as brainless as Tong Tongzi!
