Chapter 691: Chapter 691 Damn, is it over yet!
Of course, Tong Sanlang didn’t have this thing.
The Truth Elixir is fake. It can only cause hallucinations.
The effect of causing hallucinations could be considered insignificant or significant, depending one’s perspective. Moreover, considering his sensitive status as part of the Tong Family, he never considered asking Ma Dongshu for it.
He never thought of it, but Qiao Xiaomai did.
Using the excuse that she had too many delicacies nearby, Qiao Xiaomai gave Ma Dongshu a bunch of wonderful treats, successfully exchanging them for three Truth Elixirs.
And now, they needed them.
“Both of you wait here then. I’ll go ask your sister, Xiaomai, for them. She still has them,” said Tong Sanlang, before he swiftly departed using his qinggong.
Qiao Xiaomai was moving a dressing table. She picked up this hundred-pound dresser with one hand and placed it on the cow cart. She was about to continue moving things when Tong Sanlang’s figure appeared in the courtyard.
Tong Sanlang briefly explained the situation at the new house, and as he had expected, Qiao Xiaomai immediately burst into vulgarities, “Fuck! Will this never end?”
Tong Sanlang was helpless. What could he do about his family stirring up trouble?
Should he lock up his own parents and forbid them to leave the house?
As a junior, he was also quite desperate faced with such a situation.
“Alright then, let’s hurry over,” he said, extending his arm to wrap it around Qiao Xiaomai’s waist.
Qiao Zhaodi and Qiao Yindi were both more honest than the other. If they went too late, they might get the short end of the stick.
Qiao Xiaomai pulled a face but nodded, extending her arm to wrap it around his waist, and the two of them headed to the new residence.
By the time the two of them arrived, the Zhang Family members had already come out of the sisters’ room. They were standing under a tree, exchanging glances, communicating something with their eyes.
“Zhaodi, Yindi, both of you, come out!” Qiao Xiaomai steadied her body and shouted at the sisters’ room.
Upon hearing her, Qiao Zhaodi and Qiao Yindi immediately ran out.
Qiao Xiaomai was now their lifeline. Once she called out, the two of them rushed out swiftly.
Qiao Xiaomai looked at their red and swollen eyes, their gloomy little faces. Her gaze then shifted to the Zhang Family members standing under the tree, Zhu Hongyun included.
Those two were also looking at her. The Zhang Family members still looked angry, but Zhu Hongyun appeared somewhat uncomfortable.
It was the first time Zhu Hongyun had seen Qiao Xiaomai since the confrontation in the kitchen of Zuixian Building.
Stealing the recipe for Braised Pork was indeed her fault. But with Qiao Xiaomai being so wealthy, was it necessary for her to harp on this one recipe?
What about sisterly affection?
What about the magnanimity of the rich?
It seemed that Qiao Xiaomai didn’t care about any of those, not at all!
Out of anger, she therefore returned to her parents’ house.
When she first returned, her mother scolded her, but she didn’t worry. After all, Tong Erlang was always obedient to her. He’d undoubtedly come to find her soon.
Whatever the problem, Tong Erlang will front the situation for her. She was not afraid.
With this thought, she comfortably settled into her parents’ house.
However, more than ten days passed without a trace of Tong Erlang.
This made her panic. Is… is Tong Erlang also angry with her?
No, no, no, impossible.
Tong Erlang must’ve been locked up by Qiao Xiaomai. It must be so!
But Qiao Xiaomai is his younger sister, she has no right to lock up Tong Erlang…
This reason clearly isn’t plausible!
Can it be that Tong Erlang was truly angry with her because of this?
She didn’t deliberately hide it from Tong Erlang. When the recipe was exchanged for silver, Tong Erlang would definitely get a share!
Just when she was feeling anxious and uncertain, she realized she was pregnant.
There was a small being in her belly.
Regardless of whether it’s a boy or girl, both were her life-saving talisman. Discover more novels at novel⚑fire.net
The Tong family had a small population. Tong Tiehu didn’t favor boys over girls. Becoming pregnant was a huge contribution to the Tong family.
