Just tell me, whatâs the use of crying?â Tong Gang rebuked harshly, âDo you know that if your reputation is ruined,, not to mention becoming a Scholarâs wife, you might even have difficulty getting married at allâŠâ
Tong Lingling didnât dare to cry anymore and sobbed twice, âIâŠâ She had just been too scared and upset to think about what to say.
âSpeak up, will you?
Do you want to out of your mind?â Tong Liushi also grew anxious and poked her daughterâs forehead with her hand.
âMother, it was all Yang Daniâs doingâŠâ Tong Lingling blurted out, âShe had someone strip off my clothesâŠâ
âDid theyâŠ
have theyâŠâ
âNo, they just stripped off my clothes, thatâs all, they didnât touch meâŠâ Tong Lingling shook her head, âShe just wanted to destroy my reputation so that I couldnât marry my cousin in the endâŠâ
âThat Yang Dani!â A cold light suddenly flashed in Tong Liushiâs eyes, âHow shameless can she be?â
âIf you didnât do anything, why would she come out of nowhere to strip your clothes?â Tong Gang had more experience and saw the bigger picture.
Besides, he understood his own daughterâs spoiled nature,, and moreover, Yang Dani rarely had the chance to come to town; she used to be called Yang blockhead.
How could she have the power to know the townâs riffraff, to say nothing of commanding them?â
âIâŠâ Tong Lingling shivered with fear, but she knew that if she told the truth, her father might abandon her.
She stiffened her neck, waiting for Tong Gangâs response, âWasnât it because I told Yang Dani to stay away from my cousin the last time I met her in town?
She took offense and has held it against me since then.
You can ask my cousin if you donât believe me; she even played a trick on her at the time.â
Tong Gang frowned, âDid you really do nothing?â
âWhatâs with you?â Tong Liushi couldnât hold back any longer and yelled at Tong Gang, âItâs that Yang Dani whoâs shameless, causing trouble for our daughter, and yet youâre taking her side?â
âIâŠâ Tong Gang felt somewhat helpless.
âDidnât Yang Dani always chase after your nephew relentlessly before?
She almost stripped down for himâŠ
Now that Qingshu is with Lingling every day, sheâs probably jealous, so she resorted to despicable meansâŠâ Tong Liushi had already conjured up her own chain of events, firmly believing that her daughter was not at fault, âItâs just like a scumbag offspring from a shameless personâŠâ Everyone familiar with the Dapu East Village knew that Xun Hui was a bought bride.
Tong Gang opened his mouth to contradict his wifeâs words but ultimately remained silent.
Although he felt that the problem was more likely to be with their own daughter, he couldnât say that.
Of course, what Liushi wasnât willing to admit was that, at the heart of her malicious speculation about Yang Dani, she was very jealous of Xun Hui.
Her family had always been well off, and she was beautiful, having been flattered by others since she was young.
But during one visit to her elder cousinâs place, she found a woman, less noble in status than herself, yet much prettier.
She remembered that Tong Gang had even admired the woman, and despite knowing that he was merely expressing wonder, it made her uncomfortable inside.
Even if she was to have no future interactions with Xun Hui, she simply did not like that woman.
So naturally, she would not care for that womanâs daughter, especially since Yang Dani had always been fixated on her son-in-law candidate.
Thus, when her daughter got into trouble, of course, she wouldnât think it was her daughterâs fault.
