Good morning Mr. Zhongtang

Chapter 33

Tong Wanrou followed the concierge to the door of the Fucha mansion, and saw the familiar coachman with his head turned. He saw her kneeling, and then made a 'please' gesture to her, letting her get in the car.

Tong Wanrou had no choice but to step forward, and after thinking about it for a while, she said to Lao Liu, the concierge behind her:

"Jiu Ye came back and told him that I was drinking tea with Er Niang in Yueyafang, and came back for lunch at noon."

Old Liu knew that the concubine was on the rise now, and he was very considerate and obedient to Tong Wanrou, the concubine's young wife. Dang even nodded and bowed to Tong Wanrou, and took the initiative to take over the work of the old Zhangtou, for Tong Wanrou. Opened the car curtain.

After Tong Wanrou entered the room and sat down, Lao Liu put down the car curtain properly. All the actions were done in one go, which fully demonstrated the standard that a concierge should have. Invisibly, Tong Wanrou's status in the Fucha Mansion was set off a little higher. .

The carriage drove slowly, Tong Wanrou whispered to Wu Shi who was sitting in the innermost place, and then said to the groom Zhangtou: "Old Zhang, go to Yueyafang."

After the old Zhangtou got the order, he whipped his horse and moved forward slowly.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, do you really think you are the wife of everyone? You are just a concubine, and you are the only one."

Tong Wanrou looked at Wu Shi, and saw her face revealed from the darkness, as always rigorous and dignified, on top of her pretty face, thick gouache was rubbed on her face to make her face snow-white, under the dark light of the carriage , looking so pale and haggard.

I haven't seen my mother for a long time, and I don't realize that she has aged a bit. Tong Wanrou said that she didn't feel sorry for her, which was a lie. She wanted to ask her how she was doing recently, but she couldn't resist the disappointment in Wu Shi's eyes. His eyes were not looking at a married daughter, but as if he was looking at an unfilial daughter who had done something scandalous and lost the family's face.

Under such gazes, no matter how good-tempered Tong Wanrou was, she couldn't say any words of greeting, so the two of them stood in a stalemate in the carriage without speaking, until the carriage stopped.

Old Zhangtou lifted the curtain of the car and asked the silent mother and daughter to get out of the car.

Tong Wanrou jumped down, and then saw that her mother didn't have a maid who was close to her, so she took the initiative to reach out her hand to help her. Wushi hesitated for a moment, then put her hand on Tong Wanrou's arm, and walked down expressionlessly. carriage.

Yueyafang was the only place where Wushi would take Tong Wanrou out when she was in Tong's house, because it was the gathering place for ladies and wives in the capital, and Wushi liked it here, but Tong Wanrou felt that the atmosphere here was too fake and depressing, even if she didn't see acquaintances, Seeing an acquaintance and exchanging pleasantries would be enough to kill a whole street of people.

Tong Wanrou and the others came early today, there were no guests in the workshop yet, the waiter knew Wu Zhi, so he went up to say hello to Qian'er, and took Wu Zhi and the others to the guest room on the third floor.

After entering, the clerk served them tea according to the standard of eight sweets and eight salty, and then retreated out silently knowing the rules.

Seeing the guy leave, Tong Wanrou didn't pour tea for them, so she hurriedly stood up, poured a cup of tea for her according to Wuzhi's preference, and handed it to her.

Seeing that she was still so docile, Wu Shi couldn't help sighing heavily, then reached out to take Tong Wanrou's tea, and said:
"You! You always look so gentle. If you were soft and half pungent, I wouldn't be angry everywhere in the house."

Tong Wanrou heard her mention Tong Xianrou, and couldn't help asking: "Isn't sister Xianrou adopted under Erniang's name? You are her aunt, how dare she be angry with you."

Wu Shi looked at her and frowned and said: "Oh, so what about adoptive, her direct relative Er Niang is still there, and she tried to please me in every possible way before she married, but now that she married into a noble family, she joins forces with her biological mother to run on me everywhere. "

"..."

Tong Wanrou didn't know how to answer Wu Zhi. In fact, when Wu Zhi pushed Tong Xianrou into Fu Cha's house in order to get angry with her, she had already guessed the result.As long as Tong Xianrou had the slightest respect for her mother, she would not belittle Tong Wanrou in the Fucha Mansion.After all, everyone knows that Tong Wanrou is Wu's biological daughter.

"Forget it, don't mention these sad things. Your rebellion made Er Niang very heartbroken, but now there is a chance for you and Er Niang to restore the old relationship, it depends on whether you are willing to do it."

Tong Wanrou looked at the expression of Wushi's eyes shining, and felt bad in her heart, she didn't even dare to pick up the words, Tong Wanrou didn't talk much, Wushi was used to it, she just heard her say again:

"I heard that you entered the palace through the bastard's sister?"

Tong Wanrou closed her eyes, the thing she was most worried about finally came.It seems that this tea cannot be drunk properly.

"Yes. It's entering the palace." Tong Wanrou quietly twirled the edge of the teacup with her fingertips.

Feeling at ease with the person's own acknowledgment, Wu Zhi moved her body closer to the tea table, bringing herself closer to Tong Wanrou.

"Then you saw Lord Long Live?" Wu Zhi's heart was about to jump out, thinking that if the plan in her mind was successful, then she would undoubtedly be able to slap those concubines in the mansion in the face and make them She no longer dared to challenge the authority of her first wife.

Tong Wanrou replied patiently: "Yes, I see you."

Wu Shi beckoned to Tong Wanrou, asking Tong Wanrou to imitate her appearance, leaning forward, Tong Wanrou watched her sitting there motionless, Wu Zhi didn't mind, the imaginary pleasure of the successful plan made her temporarily shield Tong Wanrou's face Unhappy, he said with a smile on his face:
"Just see it, Er Niang will show you the way. There are only four concubines in the palace. If you can take this opportunity to climb the dragon bed, then you will be the fifth person. When the time comes, you will be the fifth person." Chao Chengfeng, prosperity and wealth, is just around the corner. Maybe our Tong Jia family will make a comeback because of you, and you, Ama, can also enter the center of power again, show off your ambitions, and then..."

"Then, Er Niang, it's time to wake up from your dream."

Tong Wanrou didn't wait for Wushi to finish his thoughts, and poured a basin of water coldly, which made Wushi's words come to an abrupt end.

"What did you say?" Wu's face turned cold in an instant, and he glared at her with the majesty that Tong Wanrou was most afraid of before, hoping that she would immediately bow down and apologize to her like before.

After all, in Wushi's heart, Tong Wanrou is still the cowardly daughter she brought up with one hand. Without her mother-in-law to take care of her, she would have been eaten by the monsters and ghosts in the house for a long time. After a while, but in the final analysis, the matter was caused by the marriage bestowed by the Holy Majesty, and it was not Tong Wanrou who was fighting against her with her own strength. Therefore, Wu Zhi still felt that she was the person Tong Wanrou feared and respected the most, so He posed like a mother to her.

Tong Wanrou looked at Wu Zhi's cold face. In the past, she didn't want to quarrel with her, so she calmed down after returning home, because she was trapped in the mansion before, she couldn't fly high, she couldn't jump far, everything had to be controlled by Wu Zhi, and she herself I am happy to pretend to be a pig and play leisurely.

But it is different now, she has married as a man and a wife, and is Fu Heng's wife. What she represents now is not her alone, and is no longer a simple daughter controlled by Wu Zhi. Therefore, when facing Wu Zhi When she uttered such shocking, faceless and stupid words, she no longer wanted to be appeasement and retreat, let alone appeasement or retreat.

Because, if she can't stand her ground well on such big issues, then she really doesn't deserve to be someone else's wife.

"I said, it's time to wake up from Er Niang's dream. My daughter is already married, so how can I climb into the dragon bed again? My daughter will not do this kind of thing that will be pointed at by thousands of people, and will be stigmatized for thousands of years. Even if she dies, she will not do it. Er My mother called her daughter Nvde since she was a child. The daughter asked Erniang, what is a female virtue? Is a husband who betrays her called a female virtue? Is a man who seduces her sister called a female virtue? The Jia family is also a nobleman of the Qing Dynasty, Er Niang, as a aunt, how can you say such shameless words?"

Facing Tong Wanrou's unceremonious refusal to be sarcastic, Wu Zhi finally couldn't take it anymore, slapped the table heavily, and said angrily:

"Shut up! Who do you think you're talking to? Who raised you, who gave you a rich life, who protected you from being bullied by the concubine? Now that you have grown up and your wings are hardened, how dare you Talk to me like that! What's the difference between you and that ungrateful Tong Xianrou?"

Tong Wanrou sighed, stood up from her seat, and told Wu Zhi the true thoughts in her heart without changing her face:
"Emiang. I will remember your kindness to me, but my daughter has grown up and knows what to do and what not to do. I love Fu Heng, his family, and his identity. I have experienced the freedom and unrestrainedness of life, I don't want to lose him, I want to grow old with him forever."

After Tong Wanrou finished speaking, she walked towards the door without turning her head. Wushi shouted behind her:

"Ha, I'd like to see if you can grow old together with that concubine. The world is as black as crows, and there is no man who does not steal. When you help him flourish, he will embrace you with left and right hugs, and wives and concubines will come to you in groups. Infatuated. When the time comes, I will tell you that you won’t even be able to find a place to cry!”

Unmoved, Tong Wanrou opened the door of the private room and walked out.

In the room, Wuzhi's yelling continued:

"You unfilial daughter, wicked son! Never, never come to recognize me as a mother!"

"..."

Tong Wanrou walked helplessly on the street, sighing faintly.

This time, I'm afraid that she really broke with Er Niang and the Tong family.Er Niang would make this request to her, and she must have discussed it with Ama and the clan. They all felt that as long as they could enter the palace and become a concubine, even if their reputation was bad, so what.After all, because of her daughter's entry into the palace, Ama once made the mediocre man reused by the court, tasted the sweetness once, and wanted to use this method to obtain the grace every time, but didn't know that he was enriched and used his strength to impress others.

Although she knew that doing so would be equivalent to betraying the entire family, she did not regret it, nor regretted that she insisted on the right thing.

Through the crowd, she saw a familiar face she found anxiously. Fu Heng was handsome and handsome under the sun, his eyes full of worry. It seemed that he heard the concierge old Liu's words after returning home, and hurried out to find her coming.

Seeing Tong Wanrou who was in a daze, Fu Heng rushed towards her recklessly, pulled her into his arms, and hugged her tightly, as if he was afraid that she would disappear.

Tong Wanrou no longer cared about the attention of others, and for the first time in public, she mustered up her courage and gave Fu Heng a responsive hug.

The tacit understanding between the two is enough, without needing to say much, they can communicate with each other, and silence speaks louder than words.
