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

Chapter 647: Winning the Lottery of Destiny

This time when they went to the Lu family, Tong Huaqiong and Gu Jingzhe brought Gu Baishuang, Gu Taohua, Chen Sufen, Maner and Xiaolong Yaozu with them.

To show respect, we invited a professional official media when we arrived in the provincial capital.

Lu Zhaozhao saw ripples of joy in Tong Huaqiong's eyes.

"Aunt Tong."

Lu Zhaozhao ran towards Tong Huaqiong with a smile on her face, her face full of brightness and carefreeness.

"Come on, let me take a look." Tong Huaqiong took Lu Zhaozhao's hand and looked at him.

Last summer, Lu Zhaozhao followed Mr. Lu to Shengjing to take over Shengjing's business and did not return until the New Year.

Tong Huaqiong hasn't seen her for more than half a year.

Perhaps it was the natural and fresh air of Shengjing that made Lu Zhaozhao become more and more radiant.

Tong Huaqiong sighed in her heart that whether it was Gu Jingzhe in the previous life or Gu Jingzhe in this life, they both had won the lottery of fate.

"I'm here to discuss your marriage with Jingzhe with your grandfather." Tong Huaqiong did not avoid Lu Zhaozhao.

When Lu Zhaozhao heard Tong Huaqiong say this, a blush appeared on her face and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.

She and Gu Jingzhe met once a few years ago, and both wanted to get married as soon as possible.

In fact, if it weren't for Tong Huaqiong's insistence, the two should have been married when they got engaged two years ago.

Lu Zhaozhao's mood fluctuated every day throughout the Spring Festival. She was looking forward to Tong Huaqiong coming home to discuss an auspicious day, but she was also worried that Tong Huaqiong would not come.

Mr. Lu is not a rigid person. No matter it is the marriage of his grandson or granddaughter, he fully respects the decision of both parties.

Therefore, he discussed with Tong Huaqiong and decided not to let Lu Zhaozhao leave, but let Lu Zhaozhao sit beside them and listen to them discuss the marriage.

"...My son has his own life, and I have mine. After Jingzhe and Zhaozhao get married, I will prepare a house in the city. You can live there temporarily, and you don't have to serve me."

"But you may not live in the capital for long before you go to Shengjing. I know the Lu family has no shortage of houses in Shengjing, but I have also prepared a house for them. Whether Zhaozhao is doing business or doing anything else, I will not interfere."

Tong Huaqiong expressed her attitude.

There is one thing she didn't say, as a modern soul, she does not promote birth.

However, this is not appropriate to say to your daughter-in-law in this era, as people may mistakenly think that you are cursing your son or daughter-in-law to be infertile.

Mr. Lu was very satisfied with Tong Huaqiong's statement.

Ever since Lu Zhaozhao showed her talent in business, Old Master Lu revealed to Tong Huaqiong when they got engaged that the Lu family's huge business would be taken over by Lu Zhaozhao, and that it would be impossible for Lu Zhaozhao to live a life like other girls in the boudoir, visiting her husband every morning and evening.

Fortunately, Tong Huaqiong doesn't need her daughter-in-law to serve her at all.

My daughter-in-law can make money, so it's good for her to just lie down.

Lu Zhaozhao and Gu Jingzhe looked at each other, and their eyes were filled with smiles.

The couple's mouth is sweeter than the melons in June.

Both parties had no objection to the marriage, and the date was set for March 18th.

Spring, when flowers are blooming, is also a good time to hold weddings.

As Mr. Lu looked at his future grandson-in-law, who was a scholar when they were engaged and is now a juren when they are getting married, he became more and more satisfied. Before long, this grandson-in-law might become a jinshi.

By then, his Lu family will have two Jinshi in the family, and he hopes that Gu Jingzhe will get the top spot or the third place.

He will become a legend in the business world.

I wonder how many people will envy him by then.

After deciding on the marriage between Gu Jingzhe and Lu Zhaozhao, Tong Huaqiong discussed with Gu Baishuang the cargo to be shipped out to sea in the spring.

This time, Tong Huaqiong specially asked Gu Baishuang to come to the city to discuss Gu Jingzhe's marriage. The main purpose was to communicate about the shipping business.

Tong Huaqiong learned from Gu Baishuang that after Gu Baishuang had a showdown with Nie Mingyuan in Qinghe Bay and had a falling out with her two stepsons on the second day of the Chinese New Year, not only did the people in the Nie family not treat her coldly, but they watched her expressions very carefully.

The two daughters-in-law changed their previous attitudes and rushed to curry favor with her.

Nie Mingyuan was even more afraid that she would follow Tong Pandi's example and divorce.

Gu Baishuang also knew that the Nie family treated her like this because they were greedy for what she had.

But so what? At least it was better than being controlled by Nie Mingyuan and her two stepsons before.

After leaving the Lu family, Tong Huaqiong went to Prefect Yao to visit Lian Hengruo.

Lian Hengruo looked very healthy while pregnant.

Lian Hengruo told Tong Huaqiong that Magistrate Yao's term of office had expired and the emperor was going to summon him to the Ministry of Personnel in Shengjing.

I guess I will be stationed in Shengjing permanently in the future.

Isn’t the Ministry of Personnel the department that selects officials?

But it’s a good place.

Tong Huaqiong congratulated him.

At the same time, he was worried that Lian Heng would be bound by the rules of the aristocratic families if he arrived in Shengjing.

When Magistrate Yao and Lian Hengruo decided to get married, they wrote a letter to tell their family.

The Yao family was angry that Prefect Yao did not choose a daughter of a wealthy family in Shengjing, but instead chose a daughter of a merchant family, and a concubine's daughter at that. She would not be able to show herself off when she returned to Shengjing to socialize.

After the two got married, the Yao family sent clansmen and housekeepers to organize the wedding, but in fact, their main purpose was to investigate Lian Hengruo's background.

Based on the descriptions of their clan members and the housekeeper, the Yao family felt that Lian Hengruo was even more disrespectful than they had imagined. Not only was he a bastard, but he also had to show up in public to do business.

She had a bad temper. When an uncle from the clan taught her a few words, she had a theory ready. She made the uncle so angry that he returned to Shengjing the next day.

After arriving in Shengjing, Lian Hengruo's notoriety naturally spread to the entire Yao family.

When he was young, a bizarre thing happened: Yao's mother sent two maids to Ningcheng to teach Lian Hengruo how to behave.

Fortunately, Prefect Yao was determined to protect Lian Hengruo, and he sent the man away without Lian Hengruo having to do anything.

Tong Huaqiong heard about this from Aunt Tang.

No wonder people say that life is not easy for women in wealthy families in ancient times. If they are not protected by their husbands and are oppressed by their mother-in-law, they are just waiting for breast hyperplasia.

"The Yao family is a noble family with many rules. You will probably have to fight a battle when you arrive in Shengjing." Tong Huaqiong sighed.

Even if Prefect Yao is on the same page with her, the petty tricks he uses in the harem are annoying enough.

Lian Hengruo said, "I have prepared and dealt with it. Aunt Tong, don't forget that our Lian family is not a peaceful place. My mother and I have lived under the schemes of our stepmother for many years, and we have a set of counter-schemes. When I arrive in Shengjing, I will definitely not let myself fall behind."

Tong Huaqiong felt relieved because Lian Hengruo seemed eager to try.

Yes, Lian Hengruo, who was able to take half of the Lian family's property from his biological mother and brother as a dowry, was destined to be a ruthless person.

Tong Huaqiong asked: "Now you already know your mother-in-law's attitude, what about the other members of the Yao family?"

Lian Hengruo pondered for a moment and said, "My mother-in-law doesn't like me without even meeting me. I think she dislikes me because she dislikes my husband. She doesn't like me, so naturally she doesn't like me either."

This involves the privacy of Magistrate Yao.

I didn't expect that the upright Magistrate Yao was not liked by his mother.

"So this is nothing to me. What I fear most is that my mother-in-law doesn't like me, but we are connected as mother and son." Lian Hengruo smiled, "My husband's grandmother likes me very much. She wrote to me personally and sent a doctor and a nanny from Shengjing to take care of me when she learned that I was pregnant."

"The old lady has a high status in the family. I will cling to her thighs and borrow her influence when the time comes."

Lian Hengruo blinked cunningly.

Tong Huaqiong inexplicably thought of the old lady of the Jia Mansion, who was at the top of the family food chain. If Lian Heng could get the old lady's support, he would be able to gain a firm foothold in the wealthy family.
