Crowned with Pearls

   Chapter 272 Chapter Seventy-One · Express

  The two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been together for so many years, Zhang Linghui dare not say that she can fully touch Madam Xu's heart, but Madam Xu loves her young son very much, there is no doubt about this.

   Therefore, Zhang Linghui has been very pampering and indulgent towards Xu Ying over the years. Before she gave birth to a child, she almost raised her uncle as a son.

   This is also the reason why Madam Xu gave her a high look at the beginning.

   But now, she doesn't feel that something is quite right - her mother-in-law is too calm, but Xu Ying is her mother-in-law's lifeblood! Think about yourself, if something happens to Xu Tongzhou or Xu Tongji, she simply can't survive.

   She watched Madam Xu's face tremblingly, and cautiously called her mother.

   Mrs. Xu didn't say a word, looking at Zhang Linghui, who was very embarrassed by the bird's nest porridge, her tone was very calm: "Tongzhou and Tongji are good children."

   These words sounded normal. Zhang Linghui saw hope and hurriedly said: "This is all, this is all your credit."

   "No, you did teach them very well." Madam Xu raised her eyebrows, her tone was still indifferent, and she said solemnly, "That's why I like them very much."

   Is it because Xu Ying died that Mrs. Xu paid more attention to her grandson?

   Zhang Linghui felt a little relaxed, thinking that her mother-in-law might really look at the children and forgive herself.

   After all, her decency is also the decency of the children.

   But the next moment, Mrs. Xu's words were like a sharp knife, piercing her heart firmly: "It's a pity that such a good child was ruined by you."

   It was this simple sentence that made Zhang Linghui look as miserable as gold paper.

   She couldn't even utter a complete sentence, and clenched her fists in pain.

"Think about it, you have such a reputation, how will the two of them raise their heads in the future? Let's not say whether they can become officials in the future, and whether they can convince the public, just say that they will soon enter school. For a mother like you, which master would be willing to teach them?" Madam Xu's harmony was merciless: "Also, the same boat is about the same age as the Ninth Prince, and it stands to reason that he should also become the Ninth Prince's companion in the future. , but with you, how can this happen?"

   Every sentence of these words is like a knife, and it stabbed Zhang Linghui to the ground.

   She finally learned the power of her mother-in-law. She was showing weakness, thinking that she could use her child to make her mother-in-law open to her past affairs, but her mother-in-law also threatened her with her child.

"In the past, you liked to bully others and clean up the mess for your family's relatives. I'll turn one eye and close the other, that's fine." Mrs. Xu picked up the cup and poured a cup of tea herself: "You like to take power, your own dowry. It's not rich, I think you are also for the children, that's okay."

Mrs. Xu's face was pale, and when she said this, she put down the tea cup and made a thud, so that Zhang Linghui almost jumped up in surprise, and then raised her eyebrows: "But since you want to do this, you should be smarter, or you Hold on to those idiots from your parents' family, and let them not be too greedy and cross the line. Xiao thinks what Xiao should not think, or at least you have done bad things and need to pack up your tail, so you don't get caught, right? You didn't do either. Well, let our Xu family become a big joke, how do you let me meet people in the future, how do you let your two children raise their heads from now on?!"

   Zhang Linghui collapsed completely, and could not wait to find a crack in the ground to get in.

   Mrs. Xu was unmoved in the slightest, her expression was indifferent and almost indifferent: "You don't need to tell me if something like this happened to you. You yourself know how serious it is. Tell me what you are going to do."

   This is the point, Zhang Linghui raised her head uneasily and looked at Madam Xu pleadingly.

"Think about it clearly. For the sake of my two grandsons, I can also let you continue to be the wife of the prince." Seeing the sudden burst of hope in Zhang Linghui's eyes, Madam Xu smiled again: "As long as you go back To have face to face your two sons."

   As soon as these words came out, Zhang Linghui's face lost all color, and she finally understood what Mrs. Xu meant.

   She quieted down, not even crying anymore. After a while, she asked inaudibly, "Then what can I do?"

   Mrs. Xu gave her a pitying look and smiled gently.

   The sky was just right, the sky was clear for several days in a row, the fragrance of flowers was everywhere, and the birds in the cages hanging under the porch were still flapping their wings, making a disturbing sound.

  Xu Tongzhou and Xu Tongji are reading books. Grandmother is back, which is completely good news for them. It also means that the recent chaotic days at home can be completely over, and father should be back soon.

  Thinking of this, both brothers had smiles on their faces.

   Zhang Linghui supported Zhang Mama's hand into the house, and saw two brothers, Xu Tongzhou and Xu Tongji, getting together, so obedient that they didn't look like children of this age at all.

   She smiled, but there were tears in her eyes.

  Xu Tongzhou turned his head when he heard the movement, just saw her, and stood up in surprise and called his mother in a hurry.

  Xu Tongji also cried out happily, ran over quickly and rushed into Zhang Linghui's arms.

   Zhang Linghui was so weak that she even stepped back, only to stand firm under the support of Zhangmao.

   "Why are you still so reckless." Zhang Linghui exclaimed gently, squatted down and looked at her son's hairy little head, touched his head, and asked with a smile, "What are you doing?"

   "Are you cured?" Xu Tongzhou also came over and looked at her worriedly: "If you are not feeling well, you have to go back and rest, and my brother and I will visit you."

   "It's alright." Zhang Linghui shook her head, with a cheerful smile on her face: "Your grandmother is back, and everything is controlled by her grandmother. I'm more relieved now, and my health is also better."

   Having said this, Xu Tongji smiled brightly in her arms: "That's great, mother's illness is cured, you can play with me in the future, don't get sick again, you have to take bitter medicine when you are sick, it's very hard."

  Children are always so innocent and pure, Zhang Linghui agreed seriously: "Okay, I know, I won't get sick in the future, so don't get sick, okay?"

Xu Tongji nodded heavily and patted his little chest proudly: "My body is the strongest, even my grandfather praised me as a calf, so I won't get sick, and I will ride a big car like my grandfather in the future. Ma, go to be a general!"

He said that he was in full swing, excited, and his little face was flushed, Zhang Linghui also laughed and looked at Xu Tongzhou: "It's almost time, take your brother to rest early, there is a funeral in the house, you don't want to walk around. That's good."
