Aunt Hong came in and helped pick out a few items. She looked at Mrs. Xu and asked calmly: "I just heard about something. I wonder if Mrs. Xu knows about it."

"What's the matter?" Mrs. Xu asked casually. She was worried about putting on winter clothes. Everything else was fine. Brother Shan's clothes couldn't be matched, but if he didn't make them new, where would the money come from? Alas.

, that big box of clothing materials...

"I heard that Aunt Zhong has found a good match for Sister Dong." When Aunt Hong said the word "good match," her anger was about to well up again, so she quickly took a breath to suppress it.

"Sister Dong, go and have a look in the kitchen." After hearing what Aunt Hong was talking about, Mrs. Xu quickly sent Li Dong away.

Aunt Hong reached out and pulled Li Dong, who was blushing and turned to leave, "It's better to let Sister Dong listen to this matter."

Mrs. Xu and Li Dong both heard the anger and sarcasm in Grandma Hong's words.

Mrs. Xu looked at Grandma Hong with confusion and a bit of fear.

Li Dong glanced at Mrs. Xu and saw that she didn't say anything. He moved to the edge of the kang and looked at Aunt Hong. His heart was in his throat. The marriage that Aunt Zhong had chosen for her... was definitely not a good thing.

!

"What kind of marriage? I don't know yet." Mrs. Xu's voice was not very steady.

"Yes, Aunt Zhong is discussing with the master to give Sister Dong to Wang Tongzhi in Hangzhou City as a concubine." Aunt Hong did not show off and said straightforwardly.

"What?" Mrs. Xu exclaimed, her head buzzing.

Li Dong's legs softened and she slid down the edge of the kang. Grandma Hong stretched out her hand to pull her up, "Sister, don't be afraid. You have a mother, and you have a mother. What are you afraid of! Don't be afraid!"

"Auntie." Li Dong looked at Mrs. Xu with tears streaming down her face.

"Really or not? Master..." Mrs. Xu grabbed Grandma Hong, trembling all over.

"Madam!" Grandma Hong raised her voice, "Look at you! You have to hold still, I'm still pointing at you!"

As she spoke, Grandma Hong poured a cup of tea and put it into Mrs. Xu's hand, "You have to hold on tight first! We just discussed it and the horoscopes haven't been written yet! Breathe in! Take another sip and drink the tea."

Mrs. Xu swallowed the tea in several mouthfuls, holding the cup tightly with both hands, and followed Grandma Hong's words, taking one breath and then another.

Li Dong was much calmer than Mrs. Xu. He quickly moved over and stroked Mrs. Xu's back forcefully, giving her relief.

"That's what happened." Seeing that Mrs. Xu calmed down slightly, Grandma Hong continued: "That Wang Tongzhi gave us many things..."

"Yes..." Mrs. Xu just said a word when she was interrupted by Aunt Hong, "Madam, listen to me first. Aunt Zhong said, Wang Tongzhi is a Shangguan, why should he send things to our family? I don't know her.

Where did I hear it, so I told the master that Sister Dong went to Hangzhou and met Wang Tongzhi, and she fell in love with both of them..."

"She's talking nonsense!" Li Dong burst into tears.

"Of course it's nonsense! On that trip to Hangzhou, I was with my sister from beginning to end. How could I have seen Wang Tongzhi? The only person who dares to talk such nonsense in broad daylight is this old lady! Such nonsense, say

The one who can still listen to one sentence is our master."

Aunt Hong spat, but she couldn't tell whether she was spitting on Aunt Zhong or Magistrate Li.

"Master... this is Sister Dong! His daughter! His biological child!" Mrs. Xu was anxious, angry and scared, crying and trembling at the same time.

Li Dong looked at Aunt Hong, her tears were not flowing so much. Aunt Hong seemed a little different from usual...

"That's when I heard about this matter. Soon after what happened to Brother Shan, I probably let this matter go. Sister Dong is lucky. I heard this news today...

Alas, who knows whether Sister Dong’s life is good or bad? What will happen if she hears it? When did the old lady reject the decision that the old lady made? When did the lady say that the old lady nodded?

Pass or not?

Alas, Sister Dong is pitiful, my wife... Alas, I am a miserable person who has a father and a mother."

Aunt Hong wiped away her tears. She was really disappointed and sad about Mrs. Xu.

"Auntie, you have to save me, you can't..." Li Dong seemed to have figured out what was going on. He pulled Mrs. Xu's sleeve and knelt down while crying.

"She dares! If he dares..." Mrs. Xu grabbed Li Dong with both hands and tried to pull her up, but she had no strength at all.

"If he dares... I will fight with him!" With a word of spelling, Mrs. Xu's hand suddenly became strong and she picked up Li Dong.

"Don't worry, madam. Let's calm down first. Sister Dong, don't cry. Your grandma is here. Please give your grandma some relief!"

Mrs. Xu's furious forehead veins bulged, but Grandma Hong calmed down and quickly poured another cup of tea and handed it to Mrs. Xu.

"Aniang, please be patient, Aniang, you can't... Fifth Brother, me, Sixth Brother and Axia all rely on Aniang... They all point at Aniang, they can only point at Aniang.

..." Li Dong tried to help Mrs. Xu to calm down, his words choked with sobs.

"Madam, you need to be steady. Brothers and sisters are all pointing at you. If you are not strong as a mother, then the child will be pitiful. Alas, my wife obeys the four virtues. No matter whether the master is right or not, she always obeys the four virtues. Madam has gained this reputation.

, pitiful children...

I just didn’t expect that in order to honor that old lady, the master would even ignore his own flesh and blood. She is not even his own mother, so he has to bury his son to serve her..."

Aunt Hong kept chattering, but she didn't know whether she was trying to persuade or stir up trouble.

"Aniang, I would rather die...and Axia, I'm afraid...she will definitely give Axia as a concubine..." Although Li Dong didn't quite understand, based on her intuition, she felt that she had to follow

Up to Grandma Hong.

Grandma Hong raised her hand and stroked the back of Li Dong who was crying softly. She was very happy. Although the wife and the master were too confused to say anything, Brother Shan and Sister Dong were really rare!

"Don't worry... don't worry..." Mrs. Xu didn't drink tea this time. She slowly relaxed her hand that was tightly holding Li Dong's sleeve. She took a few deep breaths and seemed to have calmed down a lot. "Sister Dong,

, Don’t worry, unless A Niang is dead, otherwise... no one can harm you, and no one can harm Brother Shan!"

"Forget it for others, it's easy to talk about. If the master... alas, the wife must obey the four virtues... alas! The three obediences and the four virtues." Grandma Hong dragged out the word "virtue" and sighed sharply.

Mrs. Xu's face turned pale, "Husband and wife are enemies, I respect him...that's why I respect him! If he dares to send Sister Dong away...send away..." Mrs. Xu failed to say the word concubine, "I will follow

He fought hard! I fought hard for my life!"

"Madam, you can't just say harsh words in this matter. This is not a desperate matter. Madam, please be steady first." Aunt Hong poured another cup of tea and handed it over. Mrs. Xu took it. This time, she raised her head and drank it all in one gulp.
