Chapter 280 Sisterly Love

Aunt Zhao was scolded harshly and told to get out.

But Aunt Zhao refused to give up.

After she returned to her own guest house, she saw Tong Nanxia sitting quietly, not knowing what he was thinking, and she couldn't help but get angry.

"Why are you still sitting here? Come with me and ask the old lady to change her mind and invite the people from Duke Zhao's mansion back to arrange a marriage for you!"

Tong Nanxia looked up at her mother.

Today, she knew that someone from Duke Zhao's mansion came to propose marriage, and she was terrified.

She didn't want to marry into Duke Zhao's mansion.

Not to mention marrying her as a concubine.

The daughters of the Tong family and her two elder sisters were both chosen to be the legal wives.

Even though my second sister married a bastard, she was married to him as the principal wife, not as a concubine.

The Tong family does not care that much about the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children. It is not easy for a girl from the Tong family to become a concubine.

Most importantly, she really didn't want to marry Zhao Yanshu.

Fortunately, her grandmother refused.

"Why are you still standing here in a daze!" Seeing Tong Nanxia remained silent, Aunt Zhao became even more angry and poked her head fiercely, "That's the Zhao Guogong Mansion, the first of the four major duke mansions. The wealth and honor will fall into your hands. You have worked like a pig and a sheep for several lifetimes to accumulate merits. What are you thinking!"

Tong Nanxia was hurt by her poking, and her heart was in even more pain. She thought of the past, and her mother's usual scolding of her. The pent-up anger rushed straight to her chest, and her eyes could not help but redden, "That's being a concubine!"

"What's wrong with being a concubine? I, your mother, am also a concubine!" Aunt Zhao sneered, "If you don't want to be a concubine, do you still want to be the legal wife? Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? Do you deserve it?"

"You are a little bastard born to a lowly concubine. How can a noble young man like you and marry you as his concubine? How can he treat you unfairly? Do you still think you are Tong Nanyi or Lu Lingyun? You were born to be rich and noble. You crawled out of the mistress's belly. You are born to be the legitimate daughter of a mansion. When you marry, you will be the mistress of a noble family!"

"You are the lowly girl who crawled out of my belly! I am your mother's concubine, and you will be a lowly concubine for the rest of your life! You will be a lowly concubine who has to serve others, look down on the mistress's face, and live a humble life!"

Aunt Zhao became more and more excited as she spoke, her eyes almost popping out of their sockets, and she stomped Tong Nanxia hard into the mud.

If she can be a concubine, why can't she!

At this moment, her door was kicked open and a crisp female voice rang out.

"Is there such a thing as a mother like you?" Tong Nanyi suddenly appeared.

She rushed in with her maids and servants, took a look at Tong Nanxia, ​​whose face was already red from crying, then strode up to her and slapped Aunt Zhao twice in the face right in front of her.

"I'm telling you today, no matter how lowly Nanxia is, she is still the lady of the mansion and a legitimate mistress. Who do you think you are? How dare you scold her! Papapa!"

"You are a concubine, you are lowly, but Nanxia is not lowly! These two slaps are for you, the lowly one!"

"You gossip and talk nonsense all the time. These two slaps are for you who stir up trouble!"

"As a mother, you don't care about your daughter's life or death, and you encourage her to become a concubine. These two slaps are for you who are not a mother!"

Pa, pa, pa, a series of crisp slaps landed on Aunt Zhao's face, making her stagger and almost fall.

Tong Nanyi fanned herself so hard that her hands hurt. She finally vented her anger. She looked at Tong Nanxia who was sitting there blankly and pulled her up. "From now on, you will live with me and your grandmother!"

She forcibly took Tong Nanxia away. After Tong Nanxia left the yard, a loud wail came from the house.

"Oh! My Nanxia!"

But this time, Tong Nanxia did not stop and did not go back to see her mother.

After both of them arrived at Lu Lingyun's yard, Tong Nanyi turned to look at Tong Nanxia and praised her, "You finally didn't make things difficult for me today."

If Tong Nanxia still helped her mother today, Tong Nanyi would feel like vomiting blood.

Today, she finally got rid of her anger.

Hearing this, Tong Nanxia suddenly felt extremely aggrieved, her eyes instantly turned red, and tears couldn't help but fall down.

"Why are you crying again! Who would bully you now that we are here?" Tong Nanyi said in disdain.

Tong Nanxia couldn't stop crying. She sobbed, "I thought you, my third sister, would never forgive me in this life."

"I am angry with you, but who called you my sister!" Tong Nanyi wiped her tears, "It's so unlucky that I have a useless sister like you, who is bullied by the aunt and servants all day long! You are useless at all!"

Tong Nanxia burst into laughter, "Third sister, why are you here?"

"Of course my cousin asked me to go. She said that you would definitely be bullied by your mother today."

Tong Nanyi is a very kind-hearted person. She scolds Tong Nanxia all day long, but she still can't let her go. Today, Wang Peirong came to discuss marriage, and when she heard that Tong Nanxia was going to be a concubine, she became anxious.

Tong Nanxia is as soft-hearted as Tuanmian, and she wants to marry into a rich family as a concubine. She won't even know how she will be bullied to death.

Fortunately, her great-grandmother was a sensible person and rejected the marriage. Just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Lu Lingyun told her that Tong Nanxia would definitely suffer in the next two days.

As Lu Lingyun expected, as soon as she arrived at Aunt Zhao's place, she heard her madly insulting her.

"cousin......"

"Don't hang out with your mother anymore. Just follow me and my cousin. We are the only ones who won't bully you."

Tong Nanxia's eyes were red again. She thought of Lu Lingjun's coldness towards her, "I thought my cousin disliked me."

"Who wouldn't despise you for having no opinion? Your mother bullies you so much, why can't you leave her? We are all helping you, but you are still trying to sabotage us. Who can like you when you are so confused?"

Tong Nanxia lowered her head deeply.

"Okay, now you know who the good guy is, follow me."

Tong Nanxia pursed her lips slightly, "Yeah."

Tong Nanxia moved into Lu Lingyun's yard.

I simply refused to see Aunt Zhao for the past two days.

After not seeing Aunt Zhao, she was visibly much happier.

Outside Lu Lingyun's yard, Qin and others were still waiting for news from Duke Liu's mansion, but there was no news for several days.

As time went by, people became more and more anxious.

Tong Nanxia had finished her meal in Lu Lingyun's yard today. While strolling outside, she met Cheng Qi, who looked hurried.

He walked so quickly that a handkerchief fell off his body.

Tong Nanxia called out quickly, "Second Master Cheng?"

Cheng Qi didn't hear anything at all and continued walking forward, heading straight towards Ningxin Courtyard.

Seeing that she failed to catch up with Cheng Qi, Tong Nanxia picked up his handkerchief and stood where she was. She looked carefully at the handkerchief embroidered with orchids in front of her, and was slightly puzzled. Why did Cheng Qi use this kind of handkerchief?

But soon, she thought of Cheng Qi's look when he picked up her handkerchief that day, and she was suddenly moved and couldn't help but smile.

At this moment, she heard a voice coming from behind her, "You little bitch, no wonder you don't want to be my concubine. It turns out you have someone in your heart. How can you be so dissolute and lowly!"
