Chapter 362: Tragedy of Tong Wanhuai

n help it."No way!" Ruan Mingzhu said angrily: "You raised a snake that bit me, so I have to find a snake to bite you back.""Good!" Hong Qigxing looked at her, "Then can you stop making a fuss"Ruan Mi...Inside, the mother and daughter remained silent for a long time.

"Yingying, tell your mother, why is this" Tong Wanhui looked at her, her heart aching as she touched the side of her face that had been struck. The man was truly angry; he had never laid a hand on her before, no matter how angry he got.

Xie Ying prefers soft approaches over harsh ones. When her father acts tough, she isn't afraid at all. But when her mother speaks to her gently and with concern, she can't help but break down.

"Mother, I don't want to be the second you."

Tong Wanhui was stunned, suddenly feeling like she couldn't breathe. "You...what did you find out"

"I know everything." Xie Ying's eyes were filled with large, rolling tears. "Mother, these past years, have you been happy Have you been happy"

"I... I'm fine."

You didn't answer my question. You are not happy, and you are not fulfilled.

Xie Yinyin cried and said, "When I was little, I thought you and Father never argued or disagreed. You treated each other with respect. I always thought the happiest couple was like you. Sometimes when I heard my aunt complain about her uncle, I thought she wasn't a good wife. But now I know that actually, she is the happy one."

"Everything has passed, Yingying. My affairs are over."

Tong Wanhu wiped her tears, "Now it's about you. You and Fu Wujin can take your time, there's no need to choose such a public occasion today."

"Mother, I didn't expect things to turn out this way either. I thought Father had agreed to Fu WuJin coming, that he just wouldn't admit it. But when I saw Du Wencai, I knew I was too naive."

"Yinyin…" Tong Wanhu didn't know how to persuade her.

"You don't have to persuade me anymore, it's too late. I don't regret it, at worst, I'll become a laughingstock tomorrow. I don't care, as long as I can marry the person I like, I think everything else is unimportant."

With such determination from her daughter, what else could she say

If she had also had her daughter's courage back then, perhaps she wouldn't be so heartbroken now.

After a long while, Tong Wanhui sighed, “If you go out like this, don’t even bother.”

I want to see Fu Wujin.

"We're already betrothed, why would we worry about not having opportunities to meet and talk in the future" Tong Wanhui shook her head.

When she went out, Ginger Double Moon was still there with Fu Wujin and Fu Chi-Chi.

"Brother-in-law, he..."

"Don't mind him." Tong Wanhu looked at Fu Wujin, "Come with me."

Fu Jiujiu was also a little worried, but she had to say that she still admired Xie Ying's courage. Not many people could do this in this era, right

"Mother, will Sister Xie be alright" Fu Jiujiao hadn't been corrupted by feudal ethics yet. Country folk were still good, just like Fan Sanmei, weren't they living well

But she knew these clans placed great importance on these things.

Ginger Shuangyue touched her head and said, "It's okay, with her mother protecting her, nothing will happen."

A birthday banquet that was originally lively and bustling, making a great commotion.

Ginger Shuangyue first went to the Fu family and sent several children away. Only Fu Baimian, Tian Guihua, and Fu Wujin were left in the house.

After hearing the whole story, Tian Guihua was also quite shocked, "This child... is too bold."

Fu Baimian also nodded, "It's our fault for not proposing earlier."

Speaking of this, Fu Wujin blushed a little, "It's my fault. At the time, I was worried about being rejected and damaging her reputation, but in the end..."

Ginger Shuangyue knew that no one could blame anyone for this. Nothing about the whole thing was bad, not even the stubborn Xie Guangwen had done anything wrong.

He wants his daughter to marry into a well-matched family, and there's nothing wrong with that.

"Master Fu, Mistress Fu, don't bother with this now."

The two people nodded.

"Yingying does this for a reason," she knew, but couldn't say. "The child is a good one, and sincere about the hardware business. Why don't you see about formally proposing marriage sometime"

"What do you think" Tian Guihua asked.

"Of course, the faster the better."

"Okay, then let's get started." Fu Baiwan said, "Will Dean Xie agree"

"He loves her dearly, she's his only daughter, and he treats her just as well as you treat your own. Wouldn't it be embarrassing for her if we disagreed"

Xie Ying is not a reckless person.

She calculated that her parents couldn't bear to part with her.

Unlike Hui Jie of those days, who was too afraid to take this step, so she took the measure of finding a good match, until now they are separated by heaven and earth.

After Ginger Shuangyue left, Fu Baiwan began to discuss the matter of making a proposal. He had to prepare things, after all, it was a big family and he had no experience.

When Fu Erjin came back and heard about his younger brother's marriage being settled, he was overjoyed. Upon learning that it was the girl who had taken the initiative, he jokingly said, "Wu Jin, you're still the best! Even Xie Yuanzhang's daughter wants to marry you."

"Be quiet." Fu Baiwan said in a stern voice, "This is not good to say about Miss Xie."

It can't be said that the young lady is forcing herself on him.

……

Xie Yingshu couldn't sleep, she stared at the box Fu Wujin had sent her, and discovered a key-like thing on the back. This was what Xuyang had picked up.

At that moment, the scene was in chaos, so Fu Wujin just handed the gift to Tong Xuyang.

Well, at least this kid is reliable and didn't lose it.

She turned the key, and the box actually produced a sound—a beautiful melody.

She smirked, this thing was pretty fun, and there were two little people dancing on top, a boy and a girl.

She guessed that it must have been the two of them.

She wanted to pick up a little figurine, but instead she touched something. The base of the box extended out with a drawer, and inside was a note.

After seeing it, Xie Ying laughed as if she had eaten honey.

With his heart in it, she didn't regret her impulsive actions from earlier today.

Even if the Du family is good, it's not their true home.

……

Tong Wanhu looked at the man fuming with anger, feeling a little like laughing. The villain still has to be dealt with by a villain.

He was stubborn, and his daughter was even more stubborn than him.

"This girl is really out of control."

"Not used to it yet"

"Am I used to this" Xie Guangwen retorted. "When did I let her be so shameless To say such things in public, if Fu Wujin refuses, what will she do for the rest of her life"

"How could Fu Wujin refuse" Tong Wanhui could tell that the two children were truly in love.

Isn't that a given

"There are no ifs, ands, or buts," Tong Wanhui corrected. "Master, you've already brought so many talented scholars here; there's really no need to call that young man from the Du family as well."

"Didn't I call for them"

"If it weren't for your instructions, who would dare let those people in" Tong Wanhui sighed. "You want to humiliate Fu Wujin into withdrawing, but you shouldn't allow these people to shame him. Don't you know your own daughter"

"I don't have it," Xie Guangwen said, "Besides, that Fu Wujin standing in the crowd of people isn't anything."

"Tong Wanhu shook her head. "Anyway, it's done. I think the Fu family will come to propose marriage soon. Don't refuse at that time, okay I don't want to lose my daughter."
