Chapter 400: Tan Family Mother and Daughter (2)
The two looked up and saw their father opening the carriage door with eyes full of surprise. Behind him, a group of aunts with red eyes followed, crying loudly, "Madam, Miss, you are back safely!"
Seeing that the lady lowered her head and didn't even glance at him, Tan Chengyi called out again in confusion, "...Madam?"
Mrs. Tan raised her head and looked at the scene in front of her calmly.
She has never cared about how many new people came into the house. After all, they were not marrying the person she loved. Therefore, she usually did not impose too many restrictions on the concubines in the house. Whoever wanted to show off in front of the master was allowed to do so. However, not today!
She suddenly turned around and yelled at Tan Fuyao like crazy, "Kill them for me!!"
Seeing her mother suddenly turn her anger towards her, Tan Fuyao was puzzled. She was not a person who would just accept anything, so she asked tentatively, "Mother, what's wrong with you?"
"Bang!" sounded.
This time, Tan Fuyao felt a burning pain on her face. The slap was so strong that her face tilted to the side.
He looked at his mother in disbelief, and she suddenly approached him and threatened him in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "You owe me this. If you don't do it, I will expose all the strongholds you have."
After saying that, he smiled and helped her tidy up her hair, with an obvious warning in his eyes, "Good girl, go ahead, remember... it's all!"
As if she had finally realized what was happening, Tan Fuyao didn't care how embarrassed she was at the moment. She secretly pinched her thigh before she could speak calmly, "...Mother, what are you talking about?"
Mrs. Tan looked at her steadily, her eyes filled with emptiness and determination.
If there was any mother-daughter affection left for her, that last bit of reluctance disappeared after she learned that her son was gone.
This daughter whom he once loved, whose surname was Tan, was more like the Yun family than any other member of the Yun family. She was like them in cold-bloodedness, shamelessness, and selfishness. It was the selfishness and calculation that was innate and deep in their bones.
The daughter of the Yun family was only used for marriage, and she and her sister had been trying to resist. The two sisters had depended on each other since childhood. Originally, she should have married King You as a concubine, but at that time she already had a lover, a down-and-out scholar. In order to fulfill her wish, her sister actually offered to enter the palace in her sister's place.
At the moment when she was happily sitting on the bridal sedan, she didn't know that the person she was going to marry was actually her personal maid. When her veil was lifted by Tan Chengyi, everything was set in stone.
Her sister told her that it was the Tan family who did it, and they could not defeat the Tan family, so they could only accept their fate.
Later, by chance, she saw the scholar and the maid on the street. They had made the best of their relationship and had children. She shed tears silently and did not disturb them.
The next day, she received an anonymous letter, and it turned out that the maid had also seen her.
Grateful that her former master did not come forward to recognize her husband, she felt guilty and decided to tell him the truth.
It turned out that it was her good sister who planned everything. The Yun family originally planned for the elder sister to marry King You and the younger sister to marry into the Tan family. However, the younger sister coveted the identity of King You's concubine and actually made a deal with the clan elders in private. The maid did not know what consensus the two sides reached.
But they knew that their sister would not marry Zhuocheng obediently, so they pretended to agree to her marriage with the scholar and deliberately set the wedding date on the same day... They directly switched the marriage and made it a fait accompli.
In fact, it was the elder sister who had been discussing marriage with the Tan family from the beginning to the end, and only she and the scholar himself didn't know.
On the wedding day, the younger sister personally escorted the maid to marry and told the scholar that her sister had married someone else because she despised his poor family. The scholar vomited blood and fainted on the spot. With the maid's careful care, the two finally got married half a year later.
In the scholar's opinion, he was the one who betrayed first. At that time, she and Tan Cheng already had children. This incident became a wound that would never heal for her.
After that, she began to make excuses and was unwilling to cooperate with the Yun family in Zhuocheng. Unexpectedly, the Yun family actually found her daughter... Gradually, the way her daughter looked at her and her brother became more and more like the Yun family. Apart from calculation and indifference, there was no other emotion in those watery eyes.
Mrs. Tan had mixed feelings at the moment. The pain of losing her son was like a sharp knife piercing her heart, but Tan Fuyao's indifference and disguise after learning that her brother was in trouble once again touched the old wound in her heart, burning together with the anger that had been pent up for many years.
She hates the Yun family!
She hated everyone related to the Yun family, including herself!
Tan Daixue was so shocked that she could hardly control her voice. She couldn't imagine how sad and upset it must be to make her usually dignified mother go crazy!
Tan Chengyi was also stunned for a long time, and then he remembered that the purpose of his appearance here was to pick someone up, "Madam, calm down first, let's talk it over, don't hit your daughter, okay?"
"Mother... were you upset in Prince Zhuo's mansion?" Tan Fuyao suddenly felt aggrieved when she saw her father standing up for her.
Concubine Tan was so angry that she was shaking all over when she saw her hypocrisy, and she glared at the people outside the carriage with gritted teeth and said, "If I say that your daughter killed your eldest son, can you still remain calm?"
"How is this possible?!" Tan Cheng also exclaimed, and then looked at his second daughter in shock and asked, "Who told you the news? It must be fake!"
Tan Fuyao sneered in her heart. Fake? They sent someone to kill that idiot.
But with tears still on her face, she said aggrievedly, "Dad, this is only one-sided from Prince Zhuo's house. How could my brother commit suicide?"
"Suicide? The eldest young master is dead? How could the eldest young master commit suicide?" A sharp scream came from outside the carriage.
The aunt's eyes lit up when she spoke. If the eldest son was really dead, her son would be the most likely person to inherit the family business in the mansion. So what if he was a bastard's son? The legitimate son even committed suicide!
Madam Tan's face darkened, and her eyes returned to indifference. She asked Tan Fuyao for the last time, "Are you going to do it or not? If you don't, I will use your secrets and Prince Zhuo's Mansion to exchange for someone else."
After waiting for a few moments and seeing that she didn't answer, Mrs. Tan nodded and got off the carriage directly.
Tan Fuyao had never seen such a strong mother, so she was unable to react for a moment.
As a result, the next second she was heard saying to the palace guards driving the carriage, "I have the addresses of all the contact points of the Yun family in Zhuo City. I want to exchange them with the Zhuo Palace. I want all the concubines of the Tan family to die. Do you want to exchange or not?"
Her voice was as calm as water, without a ripple, as if she was talking about something insignificant, not about to kill someone.
She spoke lightly, but one could hear the murderous intent hidden behind her.
