Chapter 270 Let's Make a Bet

Aunt Zhao's words made Tong Nanyi angry, "Is there any mother like you?"

Tong Nanxia, ​​who was pretending to be sick, could not hide her disappointment, "Third sister, forget it."

After hearing what she said, Aunt Zhao hurriedly asked, "Look, isn't it fine?"

Tong Nanxia didn't dare to say anything else and lowered her head. Aunt Zhao continued, "I said nothing would happen. The capital is a place where nobles live. How could you run into evil spirits? If you run into evil spirits, then you have a bad fate. Your bad fate is beyond the control of others. If you feel uncomfortable, go back and rest for a while."

"Yes, auntie."

"Nanxia." Tong Nanyi wanted to hold Tong Nanxia back and seek justice for her, but Lu Lingjun grabbed her wrist.

Lu Lingyun shook his head gently at her.

Aunt Zhao looked at them with a smile, "I'll go back with Nanxia to rest for a while. She will be fine."

"Aunt Zhao, please go." Lu Lingyun nodded at her.

Aunt Zhao led the obedient Tong Nanxia out and back to their room. She grabbed Tong Nanxia and said, "Now you have grown up and used tricks on your mother."

"Mom, I don't have any."

"Do you think I'm stupid? You think you're evil when a group of people go out, and you even follow outsiders to deceive your mother. Are you crazy? Do you think I will believe you?"

Tong Nanxia pursed her lips and dared not speak.

"You were born useless, and now you have become even more stupid. Who do you think you are? Do you really think others are helping you? You cheated your mother with others, and they all made fun of you! You are just a lowly concubine's daughter who can't see your own identity!"

Tong Nanxia was scolded so much that she clenched the handkerchief in her hand tightly and dared not say a word.

"My life is really miserable. I gave birth to you, a fool. You were never a son who could help me, and now you are plotting against me with outsiders! Why am I so unlucky!"

"Mom, I was wrong. I will never do it again..."

"You should know that you are born a lowly person. Your mother is the only one in the world who truly treats you well. Don't mess around with your elder sister anymore!"

"I understand, mother..."

What happened in their courtyard reached Lu Lingyun, and Tong Nanyi became angry again.

"I knew that Aunt Zhao was always trying to sow discord between us. She can't say a single good thing! Nanxia has been bullied by her!"

Tong Nanyi was so angry that she wanted to rush to the next yard and rescue Tong Nanxia.

When she was in the Tong family, she knew that Tong Nanxia was a coward who was bullied by her mother, but her mother was used to performing and pleasing her superiors.

Among the children she gave birth to, only Tong Nanxia stayed with her to raise her, and no one wanted to force her to leave.

Tong Nanxia was a repressed person and she never said anything at home. No one knew when she was wronged, and Tong Nanyi could only speak up for her a few times when he heard her being scolded in public.

Now that she heard Aunt Zhao trying to sow discord behind their backs, she really couldn't stand it anymore.

No wonder Tong Nanxia didn’t tell her.

It was all Aunt Zhao who instigated this behind the scenes!

Seeing that Tong Nanyi was in the same temper as in her previous life, Lu Lingyun grabbed her and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Go save Nanxia!"

"How to save?" Lu Lingjun smiled faintly.

Tong Nanyi gritted her teeth and thought, "I'm going to take Nanxia out by force, and never allow Aunt Zhao to control or scold her again."

Lu Lingjun sneered, "Do you think Nanxia will be grateful to you?"

"What else?" Tong Nanyi looked curious.

"Why don't we make a bet?" Lu Lingyun said, gently scraping the teacup.

"What bet?"

"See whether Nanxia chooses you or her aunt." Lu Lingjun smiled, and his steady eyes were filled with the coldness of human nature.

In the evening, Tong Nanxia came to Lu Lingyun's yard to eat.

When they arrived at the courtyard, the servant informed Tong Nanxia, ​​"Fourth Miss, our young mistress just arranged dinner in the flower hall, but forgot to inform you and Aunt Zhao. Please come with us to the garden for dinner."

Aunt Zhao was immediately dissatisfied when she heard this, "No need, we can go there by ourselves."

She turned around and left with Tong Nanxia. As she turned around, she said to Tong Nanxia, ​​"See? You are just a concubine's daughter. People are too lazy to tell you before they eat."

Tong Nanxia remained silent.

"You are so silly. You always think that they are good to you, but in fact, they all look down on you!"

Just when Tong Nanxia was scolded to the point of being speechless, a crisp voice sounded in front of her, "Aunt Zhao, is this how you tried to sow discord behind our backs?"

Tong Nanyi suddenly appeared, and Aunt Zhao was startled. She quickly smiled and said, "Miss San, I'm not trying to provoke you. I was just chatting casually."

"Idle talk? Idle talk about us looking down on Nanxia? Idle talk about Nanxia being a concubine's daughter, and my cousin was too lazy to tell her before dinner?"

"Hey, this, Miss Third, you really misheard!" Aunt Zhao hurriedly tried to make up, "I mean Nanxia is of low status, she is not worthy of being notified by Miss Cousin, so she should have some self-awareness."

"Don't try to make excuses here. You always bully Nanxia and scold her, don't you?" Tong Nanyi looked at Tong Nanxia and said, "Nanxia, ​​do you believe your mother's words or mine?"

Tong Nanxia looked at the two of them in panic with a pair of timid eyes.

"Let me ask you, do you really think that my cousin and I look down on you?"

Tong Nanxia shook her head, "Third sister and cousin, you are all very nice to me."

"Well, I feel relieved when you say that," Tong Nanyi turned around and looked at Aunt Zhao again, "You are an unruly aunt who always bullies the young lady in the mansion. You dare to openly instigate in front of me. I will teach you a lesson today!"

As she said that, she rushed forward and pulled Aunt Zhao.

Seeing this, Tong Nanxia said hastily, "Third sister, how about, forget it!"

At this moment, a jade pendant that Tong Nanwei was carrying was pulled off by Aunt Zhao and broke with a bang.

Seeing the broken jade pendant, Tong Nanyi shouted, "You broke the jade pendant my grandmother gave me!"

Aunt Zhao's face changed when she heard this.

Tong Nanyi picked up the jade pendant and grabbed Aunt Zhao, "Aunt Zhao, you are really done this time. You bullied the young lady first, and then you broke my jade pendant. I will report it to my grandmother and ask her to deal with you!"

"Miss San, this..."

"Third sister, there's no need..."

"What's the use of that?" Tong Nanyi looked at Tong Nanxia, ​​"Nanxia, ​​don't be afraid, just tell grandma what you heard and saw. Today I must deal with Aunt Zhao for you and help you get out of this!"

After Tong Nanyi finished speaking, he grabbed Aunt Zhao and went to the flower hall.

Seeing this, Tong Nanxia quickly followed.

After a while, Lu Lingyun and Old Lady Lin who were having dinner in the flower hall heard the sound of pulling.

"Grandma, this time, you must severely punish Aunt Zhao!"

Old Mrs. Lin looked in the direction of the sound and saw Tong Nanyi pulling someone over. "What's going on? What's this?"
