The evil mother-in-law does not whitewash, she only abuses her children

Old Mrs. Min came, and Tong Huaqiong was really worried that Min Hanniu would come along as well.

Since the person did not come out, then he did not come.

Tong Huaqiong relaxed a little.

Facing Tong Da Jiao's childhood sweetheart, Tong Huaqiong really didn't know how to greet her when they met.

She definitely wouldn't have red eyes and red face, because her soul was still young, and in her heart, Min Hanniu was no different from an uncle.

After Tong Huaqiong and Old Lady Min finished their greetings, everyone gathered around and asked about the conflict between Tong Huaqiong and Princess Mingyue today.

Despite Zhao's constant winking, Liu Yue'e still expressed her concerns.

"We have offended Prince Yu's Mansion. Can we continue to do business normally in Shengjing in the future?"

Tong Huaqiong glanced at Liu Yue'e, and her daughter-in-law trembled all over.

"There are so many important officials in Shengjing's royal families. If the Taohua Dessert sign falls, it will probably knock down a few of them. I don't know who will be offended. I'm worried about offending this one and that one. I can't do business anymore."

"You can't offend Prince Yu's Mansion if you don't want to. Princess Mingyue values ​​our pastry chef and forces him to serve her. Do you think this is Master Liu's fault or our Taohua Dessert? Master Liu came from the capital to support the shop in Shengjing, and there is no reason for him to be forced to sell himself as a slave in the palace. Who of our employees will dare to be loyal to us in the future? If we, Taohua Dessert, give away our own employees with both hands, it will make people think that we are easy to bully. Everyone will want to step on us in the future. Don't say that if you give Master Liu to Princess Mingyue, she won't be grateful. Even if you give all your property to her, she will think it's her due. In this case, it's better to make a big deal out of it, so that they will be afraid of offending Taohua Dessert and we can do business in Shengjing with peace of mind."

Tong Huaqiong felt that Liu Yue'e was petty.

There is no point trying to curry favor with the powerful. Either you accept your bad luck or use the situation to deal with them.

Tong Huaqiong chose the latter.

Old Madam Min clapped her hands and praised, "That's the right way to think. What is the Prince Yu's Mansion? Your Majesty only regards them as a mascot to show his holy heart. He arrogantly thinks that if there are people with the surname Zhao in the world, then the Prince Yu's Mansion accounts for half of the world."

Old Lady Min felt that Prince Yu's Mansion wanted to create an arrogant and domineering personality that the Emperor could trust, but they were too immersed in the role and became too enthusiastic and domineering, bullying others, and would sooner or later be doomed to fail.

Today, Tong Huaqiong caught him with something and aroused the emperor's suspicion.

After all, the girl from the Tong family is really powerful. She dared to fight against Prince Yu’s Mansion physically as soon as she arrived in Shengjing. Old Lady Min looked at Tong Huaqiong with more admiration.

It was soon evening.

Tong Huaqiong invited Old Lady Min to have dinner.

After dinner, Mrs. Min continued to talk to Tong Huaqiong.

"When I see you, I think of my Baozhen." There was an lingering sadness in Mrs. Min's tone.

Baozhen?

Tong Huaqiong activated Tong Dajiao's memory.

Baozhen is Min Hanniu's sister and Su Chengmin's mother.

He is Tong Dajiao's loyal follower.

Since Su Chengmin told Tong Huaqiong that he had been without a mother since childhood, then Baozhen must have died early.

Tong Huaqiong sighed, "I still remember the friendship I had with Sister Baozhen when we were little."

Baozhen was very angry when Tong Dajiao accepted the betrothal gift from the Gu family. But when Tong Dajiao got married, Baozhen still used the money she earned from collecting herbs to buy Tong Huaqiong a pair of silver bracelets.

When Tong Huaqiong thought of this, she wanted to ask Old Lady Min why Baozhen died so early.

Seeing that Mrs. Min looked so sad, it was not appropriate to bring it up.

"Baozhen was unlucky. She met Chengmin's father when she came to Shengjing." Old Mrs. Min took the initiative to mention the details of Baozhen's marriage and death to Tong Huaqiong.

Su Chengmin's father, Su Shihang, was a young student at the Imperial College and was bullied by young masters from aristocratic families on the street.

Baozhen, who had just arrived in Beijing with her brother the general, stepped forward and taught the young master a lesson.

This is how I met Su Chengmin's father.

Later, Su Shihang passed the imperial examination and came to the Min family to propose marriage. Min Handiu asked the emperor to grant them a marriage.

Baozhen felt very happy when her lover proposed to her.

The two spent a sweet time together after their marriage.

Everything changed until Su Chengmin was born.

"I didn't expect that Su Shihang was such a bad person. He had a wife and children in his hometown, and he deceived my Baozhen. The reason why he wanted to marry my Baozhen was because he was attracted by my Hanniu's status as a general. He took advantage of my son's influence to rise to a high position. When Chengmin was five years old, he confessed to Baozhen that he had a wife and children in his hometown. I asked Baozhen to divorce him at that time, but Baozhen was unwilling..."

Baozhen compromised and agreed to let Su Chengmin bring his wife and children from his hometown to Shengjing as co-wives.

Su Chengmin and his ex-wife were childhood sweethearts, and Su Chengmin felt guilty towards her. She used this to provoke Baozhen all day long. In addition, Su Chengmin's mother did not recognize Baozhen and interfered, so Baozhen had a difficult time in the Su Mansion.

She had a hot temper. Many people in Shengjing used to envy her relationship with Su Shihang. She was extremely embarrassed when it was revealed to be a scam.

Under the pressure from outside and her own torture, Baozhen died of depression within three years.

Tong Huaqiong's mind was full of question marks. Baozhen left too hastily.

The story of Su Chengmin's parents is very similar to that of Gu Jingzhe in his previous life, except that the villain here is the original wife and the victim is Baozhen.

In short, it’s all because of Su Shihang, this bastard, who doesn’t behave like a human being.

Tong Huaqiong and Old Lady Min scolded Su Shihang together.

"Isn't this Chen Shimei?"

Even Zhao joined in the cursing.

Old Madam Min wiped her tears and said, "Fortunately, Chengmin is a good child, unlike his father. After Baozhen passed away, I took Chengmin to my side to raise him. When he grew up, he learned to read and write, and followed his uncle into the army for training. Even the emperor said that Chengmin was the only person in Dasheng who was both civil and military."

When mentioning Su Chengmin, a look of pride appeared on Mrs. Min's face.

"Don't worry, Chengmin, like his uncle, won't be indecisive." Old Mrs. Min said to Tong Huaqiong.

Tong Huaqiong's brain almost crashed.

What did Mrs. Min mean by this? What did she mean by telling her to rest assured? What does Su Chengmin's good or bad condition have to do with her?

Seeing Gu Taohua sitting next to her, Tong Huaqiong suddenly understood.

Su Chengmin's feelings for Gu Taohua have been made clear to the Min family. Old Mrs. Min wants to find out Tong Huaqiong's opinion on this marriage for Su Chengmin.

However, Tong Huaqiong couldn't say it in front of Zhao and others.

What's more, it ultimately depends on Gu Taohua's opinion.

"It is said that people are influenced by their environment. Chengmin grew up with you, so his character must be impeccable." Tong Huaqiong said.

A smile appeared on Mrs. Min’s face.

She did intend to investigate Tong Huaqiong.

Judging from Tong Huaqiong's reaction, this marriage has potential.

She didn't like the girls from noble families in Shengjing who followed the rules, but liked the free souls in the countryside. Gu Taohua was too much for her temper, and when she first met Gu Taohua, she wanted her to be her granddaughter-in-law.

In addition, Su Chengmin had already made it clear to her that he loved Gu Taohua, so Mrs. Min felt that this marriage must be made.

However, Tong Huaqiong had just arrived in Shengjing, and it would be disrespectful to propose marriage now.

What's more, she didn't come here to propose marriage today. She planned to meet with Tong Huaqiong in private in a few days to discuss it carefully.
