Old Mrs. Tong was a little disappointed. She didn't know how her daughter-in-law, who had always been gentle and kind, became like this!
"How dare you, Sili, to lay hands on your husband. Do you still behave like a wife?
Longkodo is your husband, your god, and this is how you treat him? I think Longkodo is right, it’s time to divorce you.”
"Really? Does my father-in-law think so too?"
Mu Sili accepted their explanation calmly. She just beat Long Keduo, so what? Did she have to wait for this pair of dogs to torture her?
"This is a matter between you and your wife. As your father-in-law, I shouldn't say anything. But the way you treat him inevitably hurts your relationship.
Madam, my daughter-in-law is your niece. We should have been close relatives, but look at what has happened now.
Longkodo is a man and the face of the Tong family. You have made him lose face in front of the servants, so it is right that you be divorced.
But you also gave birth to a pair of children for the Tong family, so I don't want to be too harsh. As long as you apologize to Longkodo, I won't let him write you a letter of divorce."
As soon as Zhu Yan and Yue Xing'a came over, they heard Tong Guowei say that he wanted to divorce their mother. Yue Xing'a was so angry that he ran to stand in front of Mu Sili.
"Grandson greets Mafa and Mamu. What's the matter? Is Mafa going to divorce my mother?"
Although Yue Xing'a is only four years old, he is very smart and responsible at a young age. He already has the intention to protect his mother and sister.
"Come here, Yue Xing'a. Your mother did something wrong, and you should divorce her."
"Mother-in-law, please don't say that. If Longkodo hadn't favored his concubine over his wife, your daughter-in-law wouldn't have hit him.
By the way, you also know that Li Si'er is the concubine of my daughter-in-law Ama.
My son has forcibly taken his father-in-law's concubine. I wonder how the emperor will deal with it if he finds out.
I heard there was a complaint to the emperor in the capital, and I'm very curious. Why don't I give it a try?"
Tong Guowei and his wife were stunned by Mu Sili's words. When did this usually gentle daughter-in-law become so strong?
"Si Li, what are you talking about? Complaining to the Emperor? Do you know the procedure for filing a complaint? You might die before you even see the Emperor.
As the saying goes, when you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken; when you marry a dog, you follow the dog. Since you have married Longkodo, you should put him first in everything and make him happy.
Since you can't make him happy, why should you stop others from making her happy?
Mother knows that you are dissatisfied with Li Si'er entering the mansion, but it is an indisputable fact that she has already married into the Tong family and gave birth to a son for Longkodo.
You are dissatisfied with her, why didn't you say anything when Longkodo brought her into the palace? Now that things have become so ugly, how can you still get along with Longkodo?
Listen to my mother's advice, apologize to Longkodo, and let's forget about this matter today."
"But my daughter-in-law still wants to file a complaint with the emperor. Longkodo favors his concubine over his wife. This concubine is disrespectful to her mistress and wants to stir up trouble. My daughter-in-law is very unhappy.
Mother-in-law, your daughter-in-law is your niece, and her father is your brother. I wonder if you are ashamed that Longkodo forced Li Si'er into your house?
Anyway, the daughter-in-law is quite ashamed. Her father must also be ashamed that his son-in-law took away his concubine."
Old Lady Tong's face turned pale. How could she not be ashamed? She felt ashamed to face anyone.
But Longkodo was her son and the most promising person in the mansion, so she naturally had to side with Longkodo.
Besides, Li Si'er also gave birth to Longkodo's son. Since they already have a son, they naturally have to recognize her. They can't let Yuzhu become the son of a concubine, right?
"It seems that the mother-in-law is still ashamed. If she is ashamed, she should not act unreasonably in front of her daughter-in-law, lest she bring bad influence to Yue Xing'a and Zhu Yan.
Qiaohui, please show the guest out. From now on, if anyone disobeys the rules in this house, I will not care who they are and will beat them without hesitation.
Anyway, I am right. Even if I report this to the Emperor, he will still stand on my side. I am not afraid of what others say."
"yes."
Tong Guowei and his wife were so embarrassed that they had to leave in disappointment.
"Mother, is Ama bothering you again?"
"It's okay, mother beat him out. Yue Xing, you are mother's only son. Mother and Zhu Yan, two weak women, will rely on you to protect them in the future."
"Don't worry, mother. I will protect you and my sister. When I grow up, I will open my own residence and let you be the old lady."
"Okay, then my mother will wait to become the old lady."
Old Lady Tong went to the front yard to see Longkodo. She didn't expect Mu Sili to be so cruel that she beat him so hard that he couldn't get out of bed.
But she was actually somewhat relieved that Mu Sili did not slap Longkodo's face, otherwise he would have been humiliated.
"Mother, mother, you are here. You must make the decision for your son. Look at Hesheli. She actually beat her son in public!"
Longkodo felt so wronged. He just felt sorry for Si'er and wanted to stand up for him, but why was he beaten into this state by his own wife?
If what happened today gets out, he will be ruined. It's too shameful!
"If you hadn't favored that slutty maid Li Si'er, Si Li wouldn't have been so angry. You got this beating for nothing.
"My mother and your father went to seek justice for you, but she ripped them apart. Tell me, when has she ever suffered such injustice?"
Longkodo was speechless. He wanted to divorce that shrew, but he didn't know if it would work.
"Mother, what do you think about my son divorcing her? If I divorce her, my son will have an easier life.
You know, my son is sincere to Si'er, and I really don't want Si'er to suffer any injustice."
Old lady Tong just thought that Longkodo was a little love-minded. Li Si'er was born in a brothel and knew some seductive tricks, so it was normal for her to seduce people.
Otherwise, her brother would not have redeemed her and brought her back to Hesheli Mansion to be his concubine.
However, Longkodo lacked self-control and was bewitched by her. He forcibly took her back home, making Mu Sili, his legal wife, lose face. The beating she received today was in vain.
"From today on, you will rest well in the front yard. I will not care about you anymore. If I help you and she goes to complain to the emperor, not only you, but our entire mansion will be scolded."
After saying this, Old Lady Tong returned to her own courtyard. She would go back to Hesheli Mansion another day to talk to her brother and sister-in-law about how they couldn't afford such a fierce daughter-in-law.
The Hesheli Mansion is not as glorious as the Tong family. As long as she goes back and tells her brother and sister-in-law, they will definitely talk to Mu Sili, and then they can vent their anger for their son.
She felt sorry for her niece Mu Sili, but compared to her son, her biological son was naturally the most important.
Longkodo couldn't even get out of bed, as he was still thinking about Li Si'er and her son in Chunxi Pavilion.
"Go send a letter to Concubine Li, telling her that I will visit her another day and ask her to take good care of herself and not to be frightened. I will be very sad."
