Chapter 203 Cannon Fodder Lady's Counterattack 20
"The weather has started to get hot recently, you should go back and rest!"
Xiao Heng responded briefly with a few words and wanted to leave with the housekeeper and his group.
Tong had finally caught the other person, so how could she let him go so easily? She grabbed the other person's sleeve without saying a word.
"Your Majesty, it's time for dinner, where else are you going?
I specially asked the kitchen to prepare your favorite dishes today. Your Majesty, please have a meal with me!"
Tong sounded extremely aggrieved. In the past, Xiao Heng would have agreed, but now he just wanted to please Luo An.
"No, I'm busy now."
Looking at her hand being torn apart, Tong watched the man's back as he left with tears in her eyes, and did not move for a long time.
"Madam, let's go back!"
"Go see where the prince has gone!"
She saw clearly that the butler was holding a food box. She thought that his purpose was the same as hers, but unfortunately their goals were different.
"Madam, the prince must have gone to Fu Jin's place. During the time you were recuperating, the prince went to the Zhilan Courtyard every day to wait for Fu Jin to have dinner."
With a "bang", Tong was so angry that she threw the thing in her hand to the ground, "Bitch! How dare she!"
Before marrying Xiao Heng, Tong fell in love with him at first sight at a party, and that's why she thought of marrying him. She didn't expect that the man she loved for so many years would now be so humble to please another woman, a woman she looked down upon. Who wouldn't be angry!
But no matter how unwilling she was, she was powerless to change the matter. In the end, she could only contact her father and ask him for some advice.
But Tong's father has been very upset recently. Once Shangshu Luo came to power, his colleagues who were originally on good terms with him began to extend olive branches to him, and his situation became more and more embarrassing.
In the past, he would occasionally say something to Luo's father, but now that the other party has become a favorite in the eyes of the emperor, he would not dare to say anything even if he had the courage, for fear that the other party would report the matter to the emperor. If then, he would be disliked by the emperor, how would he live his life?
Tong's father had just been behaving himself for a while when his wife's nephew got him into trouble. It would have been fine if he had just gone out to hang out with his bad friends, but when he met a couple on his way home, he actually beat up the husband and took the young woman away.
Even more ridiculous things have happened before, but I could just pay some money to get rid of the person. But this time I encountered a stubborn person who even took the matter to the clan office.
That would have been fine, but Luo's father also found out about it. He, who always disliked bullying of men and women, told the matter directly to the emperor.
This is great! Before Tong's father had time to smooth things over for him, the emperor ordered a thorough investigation of the matter.
Since the emperor has spoken, the people below are extremely motivated. Not only do they investigate this matter thoroughly, they also investigate all the things that have been done in the past thoroughly.
"Lord Tong, I heard that Wang Meng is your wife's nephew and that he often uses your name to bully men and women. Is that true or not?"
Tong's father knew that if he denied it, it would definitely not work, so he could only pretend to be aggrieved and said, "Your Majesty, please investigate clearly. It is true that Wang Meng is my wife's nephew, but I have never known what he did outside."
"Oh? I really don't know?"
"I really don't know."
The Emperor laughed, then turned serious and said, "How could you not know? I heard that Wang Meng opened many shops in the capital, and gave most of his earnings to you, his uncle. Now you say you know nothing about these things? Do you really think I am blind?"
Every time the emperor spoke, Tong's father lowered his head, cold sweat dripping from his forehead. If the other party knew all these things, then...
"Continue investigating! No matter what you find, we will handle it impartially!"
"yes!"
Tong's father didn't know how he got back home, he only knew that his good days were probably over.
Tong's mother waited anxiously for the whole morning. When the person finally came back, she didn't even have time to check the other person's face before she started talking, "Master, how is Meng'er's case? Has the clan office agreed to release him? My mother is almost crying blind, you must rescue him..."
Tong's mother's chattering stopped at her slap. "My mother's family! My mother's family! My mother's family! You only have my mother's family in your eyes. All you do is pamper that useless Wang Meng. How could I be so unlucky to marry a jerk like you!"
Tong's mother is not someone to be trifled with. She gave birth to children for a man, but now he beats her up without hesitation. In this situation, she couldn't bear the anger in her heart at all.
"What do you mean by that? Why didn't you say this when Xiao Meng was giving you gifts? Who said that no matter what happened, you, his uncle, would be there to support him, so he could just go ahead and do it? You regret it when you encounter something?"
Tong's father's face turned pale and blue when his shortcomings were exposed, and he felt a little embarrassed.
"Did I tell him to go make money and steal someone else's wife? In the final analysis, you're just a hopeless case, and you're even dragging me down. From now on, you're not allowed to contact your parents' family again. No matter what the final outcome of this matter is, you're not allowed to do anything in my name, or I'll divorce you!"
Her nephew was in trouble, her husband was ruthless, her son was young, and her daughter had fallen out of favor and could not help. Tong's mother was in despair.
Divorce yourself? In that case, don't blame her for being heartless.
Tong's mother took Tong's father's token to the clan house and tried to get close to the lady she had been friends with before, promising her that if she asked her husband to save Wang Meng's life, she would give her a huge gift.
At this time, she didn't know what it meant for monkeys to scatter when the tree falls. She had just finished drinking tea with the other woman when she told her master about her bribery, which was an even more serious crime.
Not only that, Wang Meng couldn't stand the torture and told everyone everything he had done in the past like pouring out beans.
Within two days, the verdict came out. Wang Meng was sentenced to immediate execution for many crimes including intentional killing of multiple people and raping women.
Because Tong's father was implicated, the emperor completely disliked him and found a reason to make him resign and return home.
Of course, the emperor's words sounded much nicer, but Tong's father knew that if he didn't obey, the consequences would be even worse, so he could only do as he was told reluctantly.
Tong had just sent someone home to ask her father for help, but the maid came back in a hurry not long after she left, and immediately knelt on the ground as soon as she entered the house.
"What did Father say?"
"To answer my wife, something happened to the Tong family!"
Tong had a bad feeling and quickly asked what had happened. After hearing the other party's description, she almost lost her balance and fell into the chair.
"Impossible! How is this possible? How could something happen to my father?!"
