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

It’s not that Tong Huaqiong is hard-hearted towards Gu Honglian.

But compared to Gu Honglian and Fan Tong, everyone in this room is more important than them in Tong Huaqiong's heart.

Chen Sufen said, "Dahan, listen to your mother. My aunt and uncle are lucky and will be safe."

Chen Sufen was afraid that Gu Dahan would go out out of kindness.

After all, her daughter is still young, and she doesn't want Gu Dahan to take risks for Gu Honglian and Fan Tong.

After listening to what Tong Huaqiong and Chen Sufen said, Gu Dahan sat down silently and did not dare to suggest looking for Gu Honglian and Fan Tong.

Tong Huaqiong was telling the truth. He could wield a hoe in the fields, but if he encountered a rebel army outside, he would be an unarmed civilian and might lose his life.

Zhao said, "Honglian and Fan Tong are both still alive, they will definitely be fine."

Although they said this, everyone was still uneasy.

The atmosphere was depressing as we just sat there.

The maid brought tea, cakes and fruits. Liu Yue'e asked everyone if they wanted to touch the dominoes, but no one was in the mood to do so.

Everyone was lying when they said they were not worried about Gu Honglian. They were praying in their hearts that Gu Honglian would be safe.

"Bang bang bang." There was a knock on the door.

"Is it my aunt?" Gu Dahan stood up suddenly.

Gu Dahan did not go out to look for his aunt, and he still felt a little guilty. When he heard the knock on the door, he prayed that it was Gu Honglian who returned safely.

Gu Dahan ran to open the door.

Tong Huaqiong shouted, "Would you open the door if it was your aunt? Would you open the door if there was anyone else besides your aunt and uncle? How could you not know that there were rebels or looters outside?"

Gu Dahan was stunned by the question and stood still, not daring to move.

"Mom is right. I have to ask about the situation before I can open the door."

Gu Jingzhe ordered the servant to hold a lamp and asked all the guards and servants to gather near the gate.

"Open the door, it's me, it's me." Gu Honglian's crying voice came in.

Gu Jingzhe asked, "Aunt, is it you and uncle?"

Gu Honglian said, "I can do it myself. Jingzhe, please open the door for me."

Gu Jingzhe personally took the lamp from the servant, looked outside through the crack in the door, and after confirming that it was Gu Honglian alone, he opened the door with a bang.

"Why are you opening the door now?"

"Scared me."

After Gu Honglian stepped into the door, she collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath as if she had survived a disaster.

"Help the little aunt into the house." Gu Jingzhe ordered the maid.

Two maids came forward and held Gu Honglian's arms. Gu Honglian's legs were too weak to walk. She stood up with the support of the maids and was dragged into the house by the maids.

When she entered the warm house and saw Tong Huaqiong and others, Gu Honglian felt as if she had returned from hell to the world, and she burst into tears.

"Sister-in-law, wuwuwu."

Gu Honglian looked like she was fleeing from disaster.

His hair was disheveled, his clothes were dirty, his belt was untidy, one of his shoes was missing, his face was covered in dust, and his hands were covered in blood.

Everyone looked at Gu Honglian with pity in their eyes, wondering what had happened to her.

Gu Honglian looked extremely pitiful, so Tong Huaqiong ordered the maid to take her to wash.

Gu Honglian was unwilling and sat on the ground crying.

"It's chaos outside. There's fighting. There are marauding soldiers, some taking the opportunity to rob, and some killing and setting fire." Gu Honglian said crying.

Tong Huaqiong asked Gu Honglian: "Are you injured? What happened to your hand?"

Gu Honglian's belt was loose and her outer jacket was missing. Tong Huaqiong thought that Gu Honglian had been bullied by gangsters.

Gu Honglian shook her head and said, "No."

Then she choked up and said, "In the chaos, no one knew what was happening. We just saw someone killing someone. I ran towards home and when I was crossing the alley, I met a man who tried to pounce on me... I pulled out my hairpin and pierced her throat, sob. That hairpin was given to me by Taohua when I got married. Taohua saved me."

Gu Honglian is worthy of being a girl from the Gu family, she has a strong temper.

Tong Huaqiong breathed a sigh of relief. The blood on Gu Honglian's hand was not from the injury, but from the neck of the criminal.

"Sister-in-law, I was afraid that the man was not dead, so I turned around, picked up a brick and smashed it on his head." Gu Honglian was frightened at this moment, "If he died, would I go to jail? I killed someone, wuwuwu."

Tong Huaqiong said, "You smashed it well."

Gu Baishuang gritted her teeth and said, "Aunt, if you don't smash it, you might be the one to die."

Old Madam Min admired the fiery girl and glared at her, saying, "Who dared to put you in jail? If you don't subdue him, this scum will ruin more girls, and those ruined girls won't dare to speak out and might even commit suicide to clear their names. You're doing a disservice to the people. Well done!"

Gu Honglian swallowed hard, pulled out a bloody hairpin from her bosom, and said, "I pulled it out. I was afraid the government would find me through it."

Tong Huaqiong: “…”

Everyone: "..."

Even in such an extremely nervous and frightened situation, Gu Honglian was still able to pull out the hairpin. It has to be said that Gu Honglian is both smart and brave.

Facing Gu Honglian like this, Tong Huaqiong softened her tone and said, "You were frightened. You'll be fine when you get home. I'll ask the maid to get you some water. Go wash up first and have a good sleep."

Gu Honglian shook her head, looked at the people in the room, and asked, "Isn't Fan Tong back yet?"

Everyone fell silent.

Fan Tong did not come back.

Liu Yue'e said, "My uncle-in-law is not with you?"

Gu Honglian said: "I went out with him to enjoy the lanterns, but then the rebel army rushed over and we got separated."

"Will Fan Tong be okay?"

Gu Honglian didn't care about herself and stood up, looking at a loss.

Although Gu Honglian doesn't value Fan Tong as much as she did before they got married, Fan Tong is her husband and she doesn't want anything to happen to him.

Gu Honglian was about to rush out.

Gu Taohua asked, "Aunt, where are you going?"

Gu Honglian said: "I'm going to find Fan Tong, woo woo woo, woo woo woo..."

Fan Tong is a scholar. He doesn't know how to fight or use a brick. If he is blackmailed or bullied and doesn't know how to resist, what if he loses his life?

She didn't want to be a widow.

Gu Honglian rushed into the yard.

Her feet had frozen from running, and she was completely unaware that one of her feet was bare in the snow.

Tong Huaqiong said in a deep voice: "Drag her in for me."

The snow outside began to fall heavily. If Gu Honglian went out like this, she might get frostbite or freeze to death.

Gu Honglian struggled: "I want to find my husband, I want to find my husband."

She was so strong that she broke free from the old woman who was holding her back.

Gu Taohua couldn't stand it anymore, so she stepped forward, grabbed Gu Honglian and brought her into the house.

"What kind of husband are you looking for? Why did you get separated from Fan Tong? Is it possible that he thought you were a burden and deliberately got rid of you?" Gu Taohua asked this question from the bottom of her heart.

Judging from Fan Tong's character in his previous life, he can really do it.

Gu Taohua's words made everyone look at Gu Honglian with inquiring eyes.

Yes, the couple were watching the lanterns together, how could they get separated for no reason?

None of them got separated as a group.
