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

Tong Huaqiong looked indifferent.

She had already severed ties with the Tong family, so naturally she wouldn't take Tong Zhaodi seriously.

"who are you?"

In front of Old Lady Su, Tong Huaqiong did not give Tong Zhaodi any face at all.

"Aunt, I'm Zhaodi." Tong Zhaodi widened her eyes.

Tong Huaqiong looked Tong Zhaodi up and down.

It's obvious that Tong Zhaodi put a lot of effort into her dressing.

"Aunt, I am now Lord Su's concubine." Tong Zhaodi shook the golden hairpin on her head, and a layer of shyness appeared on her face.

Tong Huaqiong said slowly: "Don't bring up the aunt-niece relationship. My only niece is Tong Pandi. Also, I remember that I didn't send an invitation to the Su family and didn't prepare your dishes. Please go back."

Tong Zhaodi opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.

She thought Tong Huaqiong would give her some face if she brought up Su Shihang's name.

Unexpectedly, Tong Huaqiong wouldn't even let him in.

Old Madam Su stood beside Tong Zhaodi with a sullen look on her face. She was not a cultured person to begin with, and after hearing Tong Huaqiong's blunt words, she exploded with rage. She shouted, "Shopkeeper Tong, this is exactly what you are doing wrong. Taohua is my Su family's daughter-in-law. How can you not send an invitation to my family? Unless you want to sever this relationship, don't forget that your son has just entered the officialdom."

Isn't it just to threaten Tong Huaqiong that Su Shihang, as the Minister of Personnel, will make things difficult for Gu Jingzhe who has just entered the officialdom? Sorry, Gu Jingzhe has entered the Hanlin Academy and has contact with the emperor. It is not certain who will make things difficult for whom in the future.

Tong Huaqiong said, "So what? Does the old lady want Su Shihang to depose my son? Your son has more power than the emperor?"

Old Mrs. Su gritted her teeth in anger. She was so busy having a tantrum that Tong Huaqiong actually caught her in the act.

"You're coming here without even getting an invitation. Isn't Su Shihang's salary enough to support you? You're begging for food at the Gu family."

Old Mrs. Su trembled when she heard the voice of her arch-enemy, Old Mrs. Min.

Old Mrs. Min came over and scolded Old Mrs. Su with a veiled attack.

The other ladies who came to the banquet joined in the discussion.

Ever since Old Lady Su went around Shengjing a few months ago, trying to match the daughters of wealthy families with Su Shihang, she completely offended all the officials and wealthy families in Shengjing. No one would send invitations to the women of the Su family anymore when they had banquets.

Old Mrs. Su has disappeared from Shengjing's social circles.

Seeing that Old Lady Su had come uninvited, everyone united against her and surrounded her, forcing her to leave.

This was the most united time among the wives of officials in Shengjing.

After driving away the people who shouldn't be there, Tong Huaqiong held a banquet to celebrate her son's entry into the officialdom.

......

"Jingzhe's official uniform looks even better than the top scholar that day."

"That's right. Jingzhe is the best-looking top scholar since the founding of our Great Sheng. Everyone says that the third place scholar, Lord Su, is the best-looking third place scholar. In my opinion, he is far inferior to Jingzhe."

"Master Su is quite old, how can he compare with Gu Jingzhe?"

"You can tell from his son. People say Chengmin and Lord Su look like they were cut from the same mold. Chengmin isn't as good-looking as Jingzhe."

"..."

After Gu Jingzhe became the top scholar, his house was filled with guests.

After the banquet, the noise that had lasted for half a month finally died down.

The Ministry of Rites sent new official uniforms.

After taking off his imperial scholar's robes, Gu Jingzhe put on a brand new official robe. Thinking that his ambition was about to be realized, he felt as radiant as the rising sun.

Tong Huaqiong could hear the chatter of Zhao and Hong about Gu Jingzhe wearing the official robes. She felt dazed and seemed to see the image of the powerful official in Tong Dajiao's memory.

As the top scholar and a lucky sign chosen by the emperor, Gu Jingzhe started his official career at a high point and entered the Hanlin Academy, the place where prime ministers were to be stored.

Tong Huaqiong had nothing to say to Gu Jingzhe.

The corrections and beatings over the years have already straightened a bad bamboo. Now he has squeezed into the core circle of the imperial power team. What position he can reach, whether he becomes a treacherous minister or a capable minister, is not up to Tong Huaqiong.

If he were to enter officialdom and become gay again, it would not be Tong Huaqiong's responsibility.

If she sees something wrong, she will immediately separate from Gu Jingzhe.

She wants to enjoy her son's glory, but she doesn't want to be involved in the disaster brought by her son.

It would be even better if she could return to the modern era one day. She has been in this era for many years and has corrected the evil deeds of the Gu family. I think God should let her return to the modern era.

God knows how lost she feels when she prays every night and sees herself still in this era in the morning.

"...Mom, what's wrong with you?"

Tong Huaqiong came back to her senses after Gu Jingzhe called her repeatedly.

"Are you okay? Did your son do something wrong?"

Seeing that Tong Huaqiong's face was not looking good, Gu Jingzhe was quite nervous.

The fear of Tong Huaqiong is ingrained in his bones.

"It's okay. I was lost in thought." Tong Huaqiong looked at Gu Jingzhe with amazement in her eyes. She said, "You look great in your official uniform."

Gu Jingzhe said, "Tomorrow I will officially join the government. Mother, do you have anything to say to your son?"

Gu Jingzhe looked eager.

Tong Huaqiong waved her hand and said, "No, I've already said everything I need to say before."

Gu Jingzhe said solemnly, "Thank you for your teachings, mother. I have remembered everything you said."

As for what words he remembered, he did not elaborate on them to Tong Huaqiong.

Gu Jingzhe felt that Tong Huaqiong was not as happy as he had imagined after he put on the official uniform. She must be worried that if he got into trouble in the officialdom, the innocent women in his family would suffer as well, and it would be a kind of misfortune that would be detrimental to their dignity.

Just like Su Qing's brother had a car accident and was sold into slavery, it was Su Qing. Su Qing's brother had just returned from Lingnan. If Su Qing had not been lucky enough to be bought by her mother, she would probably have never been able to escape slavery in her lifetime.

Thinking of this, Gu Jingzhe broke out in a cold sweat.

He knew his mother's worries.

While serving the country and the people, he must protect the safety of the women in his family and not let them be implicated because of him.

Gu Jingzhe swore solemnly.

......

Spring is fleeting, and the wind of early summer is blowing.

After getting married, Gu Taohua continued to do business as the young master of the Tong family business. Gu Jingzhe won the first place in the imperial examination and entered the Hanlin Academy to start his career as the chief minister. Gu Dashu went to the border wearing the official robe of the customs supervisor.

This spring is of special significance to Tong Huaqiong.

At the end of May, Tong Huaqiong welcomed another happy event.

Lu Zhaozhao gave birth smoothly, it was a girl.

The Gu family now has a total of four grandchildren, and Gu Yaozu is the only grandson. However, no one has ever dared to say that Yaozu is the only child of the Gu family and is very precious. In Tong Huaqiong's heart, the status of the three granddaughters is the same as that of the grandsons.

When my granddaughter was just born, she could eat, sleep and cry, but she was always unwilling to open her eyes.

It's as if he doesn't want to face this world.

Lu Zhaozhao and Gu Jingzhe were very distressed, thinking that their daughter's eyes were defective. The couple hugged their daughter and cried, and decided to accept their daughter no matter what she looked like, because she was their treasure.

Tong Huaqiong loves her little granddaughter very much and takes time out every day to hold her in her arms.

Seven days after the little granddaughter was born, she suddenly opened her eyes without any warning in Tong Huaqiong's arms.

"The child opened his eyes." Tong Huaqiong shouted in surprise.

Lu Zhaozhao and Gu Jingzhe cried with joy.

Looking at the little girl's beautiful eyes that shone like black gemstones, Tong Huaqiong's heart suddenly moved, as if she saw a kindred spirit in her.

"Are you from that world too?"

The little girl seemed to understand Tong Huaqiong's words and smiled sweetly at her.

Tong Huaqiong hugged the little girl tightly, and a crack appeared in her lonely heart, as if a clear spring was flowing through.

Can I return to that world?

She asked herself this question countless times.

Until now she has no answer, and no one can give her a definite answer.

But even if we really can't go back, there can still be similar souls in this world who can rely on each other.
