Chapter 694: Chapter 694: When I Go Mad, I Recognize No Relatives
“Are you feeding her that?! You’re forcing her to eat it!” Tong Sanlang stomped his feet in anxiety.
In his view, this was akin to assaulting an elder!
And this was no ordinary elder, this was his biological mother!
This was Qiao Xiaomai’s mother-in-law!
The audacity of such an action was simply outrageous!
Qiao Xiaomai’s face remained expressionless as she looked at him, “So, how would you suggest to resolve this? Feed it to your second sister-in-law? She’s pregnant, and if the child is damaged, who will take responsibility?”
As she was speaking, Qiao Xiaomai violently shook off Tong Sanlang’s arm.
Keeping a cold face, she rubbed the area that Tong Sanlang has grasped, which was slightly painful. Her small face was as solemn as water, and her peach blossom eyes seemed to be frozen over, making her look chillingly cold.
A chilly aura enveloped her, isolating her from everyone else.
Tong Sanlang had never seen Qiao Xiaomai looking this way, his own expression was frozen in shock.
“Tong Sanlang, have you forgotten what I’ve told you? When I get mad, I lose all sense of family ties.” Qiao Xiaomai’s luscious lips parted to utter words that sent chills down Tong Sanlang’s spine. After she spoke, she pointed her right index finger at him, and uttered three more words.
Having thrown those three words at him, Qiao Xiaomai, her face covered in frost, turned to look at Zhang Family’s mother.
Earlier, she had stuffed the Truth Elixir into Zhang’s mouth. When Zhang tried to vomit, she forced Zhang to close her mouth, making her swallow the Truth Elixir.
Now, the Truth Elixir was in effect.
It appeared to Zhang as if the space in front of her was ripped open, everything distorted, a constant buzzing ringing in her ears. As a village woman, she had never experienced such a thing, and it left her in a panic, screaming, “Sanlang, Sanlang! Where are you?!”
Everything in view was warped, this feeling was akin to being blind, horrifying for her.
She couldn’t help but scream Tong Sanlang’s name.
Even at such a time, Tong Sanlang was indeed the one she trusted the most.
“Why are you screaming?! You still have the audacity to call Sanlang! Framing his wife for having improper relations with another man, is that how you play the mother?!” Qiao Xiaomai smirked.
Zhang’s world was already distorted, and amongst all this chaos, Qiao Xiaomai’s words were the only sound. When Qiao Xiaomai said this, she raised her volume, her tone filled with judgement.
Zhang grew even more panicked, “I, I’ve raised him since he was a little boy, I was doing it all for his good.”
“So, your idea of doing it all for his good is to continuously cause trouble for his wife? Always creating problems out of nowhere, making sure he can never live a day in peace?!”
“Enough with your stubbornness, you never saw him as a son! You simply used him as a tool, a tool that could earn you money and face!”
At her words, which felt like a wake-up call, or rather a sharp sword lunging towards Zhang.
Zhang panicked, frantically shouting, “I didn’t, I didn’t! Sanlang is my own child!”
“Since you consider him your own child, tell me who masterminded the baseless accusations against Qiao Zhaodi and Qiao Yindi today!” Qiao Xiaomai shot another question at her fiercely.
“Just as he was preparing to go to Prefecture City for the imperial examination, you messed everything up and disturbed his peace of mind! Did you do it on purpose? Were you trying to sabotage his chances of passing the examination?!”
The accusation was too bold, too heavy. Zhang was so anxious that tears welled up in her eyes, her face burning red, “It was the second daughter-in-law’s idea! It was her! It had nothing to do with me, why wouldn’t I hope for Sanlang to pass the exams?!”
