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

Chapter 737: Gossip in Shengjing

Old Mrs. Min began to chat with Zhao and others.

She had been away from home for so long, and she was so excited to hear the local accent.

As they talked, the topic began to turn to their children.

"I can tell at a glance that you are blessed. Your son is a general, and he has earned you a first-rank wife. Your grandchildren are grown up now, right? You just need to enjoy yourself. How many people want to live a life like you." Zhao flattered Mrs. Min.

Anxious Liu Yue'e winked at her mother.

The mighty general is still alone. Where did old lady Min get her grandchildren? Her mother is really talking about things that are not relevant to the topic.

Old Mrs. Min didn't seem angry at all. She smiled and said, "As for the blessing of having grandchildren, I don't have any at all. My son Hanniu is still single. But my grandson Su Chengmin is extremely filial to me, just like my own grandson."

Zhao: "..."

There's no point in chatting today. I've hit the horse's leg with my flattery.

It's not that heroes deserve beauties. According to common thinking, a top general who holds military power must be surrounded by a room full of beauties.

How could she know that such a mighty general, even though he was so high in rank, was still a bachelor.

Zhao couldn't help but think of her mother-in-law. Could it be that the mighty general was still thinking about her mother-in-law?

They are all women from Qinghe Bay. Why is my mother-in-law so popular with men? There is a wealthy businessman, Boss Qian, in the village, and there is also a general in Shengjing who is her childhood sweetheart.

This widow's life is really enjoyable.

Lu Zhaozhao held her stomach and laughed. Old Mrs. Min’s words were so interesting.

Old Mrs. Min liked Tong Huaqiong's young daughter-in-law very much. She waved her hand and pulled Lu Zhaozhao to her side, then put on airs and started telling everyone all kinds of gossip and rumors about Shengjing.

"You just arrived in Shengjing, don't think that Shengjing is some fancy place. Some people look well-dressed, but their behavior is no different from that of the rough folks in the village..."

Who favors his concubine over his wife, who has a mother-in-law who likes to torture her daughter-in-law, who has a mistress and a concubine who compete for favors in front of the emperor, who has two enemies who broke their heads in front of the emperor...

Old Mrs. Min was talking with saliva flying all over the place.

Normally, she loves to listen to and talk about gossip, but the noble ladies in Shengjing are not like her and are disdainful of gossiping with her when they see her. The former Empress Dowager loved to listen to her gossip and would summon her to the palace from time to time to chat like old sisters, but the Empress Dowager passed away a few years ago, and she was almost suffocated these years.

At this time, when she met Zhao, Chen Sufen, Gu Baishuang and other fellow villagers who had just arrived in Shengjing and were curious about the gossip of Shengjing, she finally got the chance and talked non-stop.

Gossip is human nature, and soon everyone gathered around Old Lady Min and listened with great interest.

Especially Zhao, who was also the top gossip player in Qinghe Bay. She would occasionally join in the exclamations and make the atmosphere extremely lively. In this warm atmosphere, Mrs. Min spoke even more vigorously.

So, when Tong Huaqiong and Gu Taohua returned home, they saw the grand scene of everyone surrounding Old Lady Min and eating melons while cracking melon seeds.

"The cousin of the third prince's maternal grandfather is a homosexual. His family lacks virtue and he secretly married the daughter of a wealthy businessman from Jiangnan. The businessman gave his daughter two hundred thousand taels of silver as a dowry. He took a large dowry from the man, and after the marriage, he ignored his wife for three years and had no children. He shamelessly spread the news that his wife was infertile. Later, they were caught in bed with someone. Who do you think the adulterer was? He was a young official under the third prince, who just passed the imperial examination last year..."

Such explosive gossip rolled out smoothly from Old Lady Min's mouth.

When Tong Huaqiong wanted to listen to the follow-up, Mrs. Min saw Tong Huaqiong and Gu Taohua stop talking and stood up. She took two steps forward and grabbed Tong Huaqiong's hand, and asked in a trembling voice: "Big Foot?"

Tong Huaqiong was sweating.

Needless to say, this old lady Min is the mother of Tong Dajiao's childhood sweetheart.

Tong Huaqiong searched her memory.

Old Mrs. Min liked the original owner very much and treated him very well.

The original owner had been without a mother since she was a child, and many things that needed to be taught by her mother were taught by Old Lady Min. If the Tong family had not accepted fifty taels of silver from the Gu family, the two would have become mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

"Aunt Min."

Tong Huaqiong, thinking of the kindness that Mrs. Min had shown to the original owner, held Mrs. Min's hands.

Old Mrs. Min looked at Tong Huaqiong carefully.

Tong Dajiao was a beauty in Heilongtan when she was young. She had a tall figure, big eyes and a high nose bridge. Now she has grandchildren, but she still can't resist the charm of her youth.

A beauty remains a beauty even when she is old, and big feet don’t age very well.

Maybe it’s because he’s now the boss, he seems more capable and competent than when he was young.

Old Mrs. Min felt that Tong Huaqiong was just as elegant as the noble ladies in Shengjing.

"Then Zhao Xiyue didn't make things difficult for you, did she?" Old Madam Min asked. "When I heard that Zhao Xiyue had caused trouble for you and Taohua, I was extremely anxious."

Tong Huaqiong was moved.

No wonder the old lady came home, it turned out she was worried about her.

Tong Huaqiong smiled and said, "You don't know yet, I won't suffer any loss at all."

She felt a little strange at first, but after hearing Tong Huaqiong say this, Mrs. Min felt that the familiar Tong Da Jiao was really in front of her.

"As soon as I heard the news, I asked Hanniu to go to the palace to inquire about it, but unfortunately you didn't meet him. I thought that if Zhao Xiyue made things difficult for you and Taohua, I would break into Prince Yu's mansion to vent your anger." said Old Lady Min.

When Tong Huaqiong heard Old Lady Min mention Min Handiu, her face looked a little embarrassed.

"Aren't you tired of standing all the time? Come, let's sit down and talk."

Tong Huaqiong changed the subject and invited Mrs. Min to take a seat.

"We haven't seen each other for more than 20 years. How have you been doing these years?" Old Lady Min looked at Tong Huaqiong carefully, and suddenly tears welled up in her eyes as she sighed, "You must have suffered a lot as a stepmother."

The corners of Chen Sufen and Gu Baishuang's mouth twitched.

When Tong Huaqiong was a stepmother, she suppressed her stepchildren to the point of utter desperation.

Tong Huaqiong said, "You know my temper. Who dares to make me angry? Look, my business has spread all the way to Shengjing. How can I have a hard time?"

Old Madam Min said, "I heard that your life got better after you became a widow. I told you that you can't marry into the Gu family, you can't marry into the Gu family, but your damn father and your conscienceless brother insisted that you become a stepmother in the Gu family."

As Mrs. Min spoke, she began to cry.

She really felt sorry for the beautiful Tong Da Jiao who had to marry an old widower and become a stepmother.

"If you had married my silly cow, you wouldn't be a widow now."

Old Mrs. Min has a straightforward personality, and she has always felt sorry for the missed marriage between Tong Da Jiao and Min Hanniu, so she can't help but reveal her true feelings.

Tong Huaqiong complained in her heart that marrying Min Hanniu would not necessarily mean she would become a widow.

The battlefield is full of ruthlessness. Min Hanniu finally made it out. If she had not made it out and married Min Hanniu, Tong Dajiao might have become a widow even earlier.

Tong Huaqiong coughed a few times awkwardly.

Gu Taohua stepped forward, held onto Old Lady Min's hand and said, "Grandma Min, you've been talking about my mother all the time. Shouldn't you be happy to see her? Why are you crying?"

Old Madam Min smiled and said, "Taohua is right. We should laugh."

As he spoke, he smiled at Tong Huaqiong with wrinkles on his face.

Tong Huaqiong always felt that there was some conspiracy hidden in the old lady's folds.
