Chapter 275 Useless Kindness
Here, Lu Lingyun led them both back.
The three of them rode in a carriage.
Tong Nanyi was so far away from Tong Nanxia that it seemed as if there was a galaxy between them.
Tong Nanxia mustered up her courage, "Third sister..."
"The person is gone, what are you still acting for!" Tong Nanyi became angrier and angrier as she thought about it. She felt that she had been tricked. "I now realize that you are not only stupid, but also extremely bad! You just said that on purpose in front of outsiders to ruin my reputation!"
Tong Nanxia hurriedly explained, "Third sister, I didn't!"
"Shut up! I don't want to talk to you anymore. From now on, you and I are enemies and cannot coexist!"
Hearing this, Tong Nanxia looked at Tong Nanyi aggrievedly. She wanted to open her mouth, but was met with her cold and angry face, as if she would completely turn hostile if she dared to say a word.
Tong Nanxia wrapped her handkerchief around her neck and swallowed the rest of the words.
After returning home, Tong Nanyi strode back to the yard alone and refused to stay with her for even a moment.
Lu Lingjun also followed, but was stopped by Tong Nanxia on the road.
"cousin......"
"What's wrong?" Lu Lingjun stopped and looked at her.
Tong Nanxia lowered her head, "Do you also think I did it on purpose just now?"
Lu Lingyun looked at Tong Nanxia, who looked extremely humble and humble, and sighed, "Does it matter whether it's intentional or not?"
"Of course, I really didn't want to harm my cousin and cause her to be misunderstood by others."
Lu Lingyun smiled faintly, "But if you do this, what's the point of your kindness?"
Lu Lingyun's words made Tong Nanxia stand there in a daze. She couldn't say a word and only felt that she was full of grievances.
Obviously, she didn't do anything. Tong Nanying scolded her and she just endured it obediently and let her scold. But why did it seem as if everything was her fault?
Is she just as her mother said, born lowly?
Just as Tong Nanxia was frantically wasting her time and energy, the more she thought about it the more painful she felt, and the more she couldn't understand why everyone in the world would bully a kind person, she heard Lu Lingyun's voice.
"Nanxia, if kindness is useless, it is better to give up useless kindness."
Tong Nanxia raised her head and saw that Lu Lingyun had already left with the maids.
She looked at her back, her brows wrinkled into a "川" shape.
Abandoning goodness? How can this be possible...isn't that a necessary requirement for women?
Just at this moment, she heard Aunt Zhao's voice.
"Nanxia!"
Aunt Zhao came over in a hurry, and when she saw Tong Nanxia standing there, she started to curse, "Didn't I tell you to take good care of your two sisters? How did you make the third young lady so angry?"
"You are born with lowly bones. You can't even serve others. What can you do in the future?"
Tong Nanxia listened to her mother's scolding word by word, and she felt extremely unwilling, but this time, she couldn't help but raise her head and glare at her mother.
The moment she raised her eyes to glare at Aunt Zhao, Aunt Zhao poked her head with a finger and said, "How dare you glare at me! This is outrageous. I am your own mother!"
"Is there any mother in this world who scolds her own daughter all the time?" Tong Nanxia was tough for once.
After she said this, Aunt Zhao was stunned at first, and then she cried out to the sky, "This is so unjust, there is really no justice in this world, you are my flesh and blood, how can you treat me like this! You crawled out of my intestines, you have no conscience!"
"If I knew I would give birth to a daughter like this, I would have drunk a bowl of sterilization soup!"
"If you don't even understand the basic principles of being a human being, you may look great on the outside, but you are a piece of shit on the inside!"
"My life is so miserable! I was never blessed with a son, and I have to endure such humiliation. I'd rather die!"
Tong Nanxia listened to her mother's accusation word by word, and the anger that had just ignited disappeared instantly. She looked at the frantic Aunt Zhao, "Aunt, Aunt, don't cry!"
"Don't cry, I was wrong, okay!"
After Tong Nanxia admitted her fault, Aunt Zhao stopped wailing immediately. She looked at Tong Nanxia, who had regained her compromising look, wiped her tears and said, "Nanxia, I suffered so much giving birth to you! Because of you, I can't give birth to a son anymore. You must never be ungrateful!"
"I see."
In the yard, Lu Lingyun heard the servants talking about how Aunt Zhao had just made a scene in the backyard and scolded Tong Nanxia so much that she lost all her face and temper. She kept a sullen face and said nothing.
In the evening, to Lu Lingyun's surprise, Qin Shaojing came back.
After she came back, she asked her, "Sister-in-law, who are your two cousins? Why haven't I seen them before?"
"She's my uncle's daughter." Lu Lingyun smiled at her, "The Tong family in Jinling."
"Jinling Tong Family." Qin Shaojing silently read the name and frowned slightly.
According to the current ranking of aristocratic families, the Jinling Tong family can only be considered a second-tier family. They are very famous in the Jiangnan area, but outside of Jiangnan, they are just average.
Moreover, the Tong family had few members. Second Master Tong was promoted from the local area to the capital and was promoted to the third-rank Right Deputy Governor of the Capital. It was a high position with great power, but considering the level of the Duke's Mansion, it was just average.
Qin Shaojing quickly sorted out the status of the two sisters of the Tong family. They had some power in the family, but it was not too strong.
"My sister-in-law's uncle has been promoted to an official in Beijing. Will he be living here all year round?" Qin Shaojing asked cautiously.
"My second uncle was promoted. Nanyi and Nanxia are my eldest uncle's daughters. They will return to Jiangnan in a few days."
Hearing this, Qin Shaojing's face instantly brightened up, and she couldn't help but say, "Guests are welcome. They finally came from Jiangnan, so they must have a good time. Why don't I take them out for a walk during this time?"
Lu Lingyun looked at her expression and said, "Forget it. I see you are quite busy. I won't let them disturb you."
"Of course not!" Qin Shaojing grabbed Lu Lingyun's hand and said earnestly, "If sister-in-law is worried, bring them to my temple often to sit and help me gain some popularity."
Lu Lingyun: "......No need, I see you have a lot of people there."
"Sister-in-law, my aunt said that you have to help me."
Lu Lingyun: "......"
At this time, Cheng Qi came again.
"Shao Jing, you're back!" Cheng Qi was very surprised to see Qin Shao Jing coming back.
Qin Shaojing glanced at him and said, "Brother Cheng Qi, long time no see."
"It's been a long time since we last met. Shao Jing, how have you been lately..."
Before he finished speaking, Qin Shaojing pestered Lu Lingyun and continued, "Sister-in-law, if you have nothing to do, come and sit with me. Sometimes I get bored in the mountains alone."
When Cheng Qi heard this, he responded directly, "Okay, sister-in-law, I'll go with you."
Lu Lingyun: "......"
