Chapter 723 ·Lotus

Tang Chongzhou was stunned as if he had been struck by lightning.

Aunt Xiang is not pregnant at all...

It was a scam from the beginning.

Thinking about it this way, Aunt Xiang's recent abnormal behavior all makes sense.

No wonder...

Tang Chongzhou's face turned red with anger, and he gritted his teeth and shouted, "Stop crying! You have done such an ugly thing, and you still have the nerve to cry?"

Xiangshi cried louder.

The room was so messy for a while that it gave people a headache.

Tang Songzhou, who was standing outside the door and did not come in to avoid suspicion, was also shocked. His hands and feet were cold. He did not expect that Xiangshi's pregnancy was a scam from beginning to end. It seemed that his mother had known about it for a long time, so when he heard that Xiangshi had signs of premature birth, he Came here despite the rain.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier. Tang Songzhou looked at the rain in bewilderment, not knowing what to do.

While he was lost in thought, the steward who had been ordered by Mrs. Tang to go to the back door ran over quickly and saw him standing under the corridor. He bowed hastily and entered the door.

Tang Chongzhou was furious. Seeing that he rushed in without asking for permission, he was so angry that he picked up the teacup at hand and smashed it, "You piece of shit! You think this is a vegetable market. You can come in and out as you please. The house is in chaos." It’s like this, there are no rules at all!”

The steward couldn't dodge in time and was hit on the forehead by the teacup. He immediately started bleeding profusely and half of his face was covered in blood. It looked very scary.

Tang Chongzhou didn't expect such a result, and his momentum suddenly leaked, "You... you didn't avoid it..."

The person in charge didn't dare to say anything. He knelt on the ground and said, "You are so reckless, please punish me."

Before Tang Chongzhou could speak, Mrs. Tang had already spoken, "The servants in the family are all old people who have been with you for many years. You know their temperament very well. When have you ever seen them reckless? You must be here in such a hurry. It's something important, but if you just take action without asking any questions, how can you act like a master?"

Tang Chongzhou turned his face sideways and did not refute, but he also did not admit his mistake.

Mrs. Tang asked calmly, "What's going on?"

The steward said, "Old madam, I caught a sneaky man at the back door. He is a clerk in our shop. His name seems to be Luo Xiuchun..."

After hearing this, Mr. Xiang's face changed drastically, as if someone had strangled his neck, and he could no longer cry.

How could Tang Chongzhou know about the relationship between Luo Xiuchun and Aunt Xiang? He said impatiently, "What do you care about a guy? Just let him get rid of him. How can I bother to see him at this time!"

The steward was stunned and said quickly, "There is a dead baby in Luo Xiuchun's arms."

"What?" Tang Chongzhou was struck by thunder, and he couldn't think anymore.

Xiangshi didn't think about it, "Dead...dead baby?"

Only Mrs. Tang had received the news in advance and acted extremely calmly, "Where is the person?"

The steward said, "As soon as he saw us and turned around, he wanted to run away, but we worked together to subdue him and detained him. He is waiting for you and the eldest master to be punished."

Mrs. Tang nodded and looked at Xiangshi, "What else do you have to say?"

Xiang's face was ashen, knowing that this time it would be impossible to pass the test easily. She hesitated for a moment, wiped her tears and said, "I dare not hide it from the old lady and the eldest master. This matter is also my arrangement. Because I have always I hid the fact that the baby was lost from the elder, and I was worried that one day the matter would be revealed and the elder would be angry, so I was always worried about this matter. Luo Xiuchun and I are from the same hometown in Ningbo, and we have met in the past. Yes, I really didn’t know what to do, so I asked the nanny to contact him and started talking to him. Luo Xiuchun promised to help me find a stillborn baby to deal with the problem. At that time, all I could think about was how to hide it from the old master. Everyone was thinking I was about to collapse, so how could I care about anything else? So I agreed in a daze..."

At this point, this is the best excuse she can think of. Although she doesn't know if she can pass the test, she can only deal with it this way. Once Mrs. Tang finds out about her past, it will be completely over. Now

The only way is to keep Brother Rong first. As long as he has him for a day, he will have a chance to turn around sooner or later.

While Xiangshi was crying, he was thinking about his options.

Tang Chongzhou burst into tears when he heard this, and pointed at Xiangshi and said, "Please ask your conscience, how have I treated you over the years? I didn't expect you to do such a heartless thing. What's the point of raising you at home?"

You immediately pack up your things and go back to Ningbo, and never step foot in the door of my Tang family in this life!"

Xiangshi was startled and cried, "Master! I was wrong. I'll beat or punish you. Just don't drive me away. Brother Rong is still so young. How can he live without his mother? Even if you don't pity me, don't you?

Don’t you pity Brother Rong as well?”

"Do you still know Brother Rong?" Tang Chongzhou said with tears, "If you have a son and me in your heart, how could you do such a thing? You don't have to keep thinking about me, I will still return your little scheme.

Can you not know? Isn’t it for the steward’s rights?”

Xiangshi said, "Master, I really know I was wrong! I was wrong..."

Tang Chongzhou looked up to the sky and sighed, "That's it! The fate between you and me is over, why bother to argue anymore? You can go back to Ningbo. As long as I have Brother Rong for a day, I will not deprive you of food. Just don't meet each other again, otherwise there will be only

It’s just mutual disgust.”

Xiangshi said, "I won't leave! Even if I die at home, I won't leave! This is my home, where do you want me to go? From the moment I walked in, I became a member of the Tang family. You

Don't even think about driving me away! What's more, I gave birth to Brother Rong for you, and I have worked hard without any credit. I have served you wholeheartedly for these years, how can you turn your back on me and deny me? Master, how can you be so ruthless and unrighteous!

"

Tang Chongzhou's heart suddenly softened when he heard her heartbreaking accusations.

Xiangshi took the opportunity to add a handful of firewood, "Besides, without a child, am I not the one who suffers the most? I did something wrong in a moment of confusion, don't you care about the relationship between husband and wife? As the saying goes, a husband and wife will be grateful for a hundred days.

, Master, if you drive me away now, don’t you want me to die?”

Tang Chongzhou shed tears again, shook his head and sighed, looking very distressed and not knowing what to do.

Mr. Huang looked on and was speechless.

Mr. Xiang shed a few tears. Is such a serious matter going to end?

Her lips pursed slightly and she was about to speak when she saw the stern gaze of her husband Tang Songzhou outside the door. Huang was immediately shuddered and swallowed the words that came to her lips.

Mrs. Tang ignored these and said with a sneer, "Before I met you, I really didn't know what a lotus flower was. You can call a dead person alive! Mr. Xiang, who did you get this ability from?"

It’s really amazing what I learned!”

Xiang raised his head and stared at Mrs. Tang with some resentment.

This old immortal must have trouble with himself!

But people have to bow their heads under the eaves, not to mention that they still have the leverage in other people's hands?

Xiangshi could only say miserably, "Old madam, I don't understand what you are talking about."

Mrs. Tang smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't understand. I'll explain it to you one by one, and you will understand everything. There is hard work without credit? Single-mindedness? How come these words sound so ironic when they come from your mouth?

What? Don’t you want to laugh yourself?”

Mr. Xiang's face turned pale, and his heart began to beat.

Does this old immortal know anything else?

Xiangshi suddenly had a bad feeling.

Tang Songzhou saw this and said quickly, "Mom..."

As soon as he said a word, he was stopped by Mrs. Tang's sharp eyes.

His whole body was shocked, and he could no longer say the next words.

How many years had it been... He hadn't seen his mother show such an expression for a long time. At this moment, Tang Songzhou seemed to have returned to the turbulent past, when the second wife of the Tang family was struggling to support herself, and the scenes when her mother was in charge of the family appeared again in front of her eyes.

Mrs. Tang said, "I'm talking to Mr. Xiang, you gentlemen, please don't interrupt."

After she spoke, Tang Chongzhou and Tang Songzhou naturally had no choice but to nod obediently.

Mrs. Tang continued to ask, "Mr. Xiang, let me ask you, what is the credit you are talking about? Could it be that you gave birth to Brother Rong for the eldest brother, right?"
