Chapter 735: The Noble Feels the Dried Sweet Potatoes Are Dirty

“What the hell are you waiting for? Chase them down! That scoundrel better not drain away the good fortune of our Tong Xingda!” Tong Xingda stomped his foot, ready to move the luggage cases immediately.

Zhang Family slapped her thigh and quickly moved to lend a hand.@@novelbin@@

The two of them combined forces to lift the luggage cases onto the ox cart and hurried off towards the Medical Clinic.

The Medical Clinic.

Tong Xingda holding Qiao Xiaomai descended from the cart, and they rushed inside.

These two are well known around town now, and many people recognize them. Plus, Qiao Changshun previously visited the clinic for his limp. Seeing them, the doctor immediately said, “They’re inside.”

He pointed towards the back of the clinic.

The back of the clinic is a small courtyard, where patients with severe conditions are kept overnight.

Zhuang Luhe is lying in one of the rooms there now, with Qiao Changshun and Qiao Zhaodi sitting by her side taking care of her.

Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Xingda rushed in, “Father, what happened?!”

The sudden appearance of the two startled Qiao Changshun, “You two are back?”

“We’re back. Is mother okay?” Qiao Xiaomai looked down at Zhuang Luhe lying in bed.

Zhuang Luhe’s face was pale, she looked like she had aged more than a decade. With a white cloth wrapped around her forehead, stained with spots of blood.

She’s been back for a while and her complexion had improved a little, but she was still thin as a bamboo pole, not gaining any weight.

“What the hell happened?!” Having glanced at Zhuang Luhe, Qiao Xiaomai asked anxiously once again.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Changshun sighed, “It was Sun Family. She stormed into the manor two days ago, started yelling at your mother. Your mother couldn’t take it, ran into a wall, lost too much blood, she’s been unconscious since then.”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Xiaomai pursed her lips, balled her fists tightly, gritting her teeth, “What the hell was she doing running in there like that!”

Seeing her state, Tong Xingda patted her on the shoulder and gently said, “Calm down.”

Then he looked at Qiao Changshun, “Father, what exactly did Sun Family say?”

Mentioning this stirred up another sigh from Qiao Changshun, with a voice filled with sorrow, “She said, a noble in the Capital City was originally going to buy our dried sweet potatoes. But after learning about your mother, he found her ‘filthy’ and not only decided not to buy any, but is also going to make trouble for our family.”

“Your mother just couldn’t take that, she ran into the wall.”

When Sun Family opens her mouth to insult others, it’s like spraying manure all over the place, uttering whatever sounds nastiest.

She grabbed hold of Zhuang Luhe’s affair with another man and fictionalized how much Zhan Jin tormented Luhe, her vile words and abhorrent insinuation reduced Zhuang Luhe to a ghostly pale and about to faint.

When Sun Family blamed the dried sweet potatoes’ business loss on Zhuang Luhe, she collapsed and attempted suicide.

“Sun Family said that if your mother is still around, the nobles of the Capital City will find our products filthy and will not buy them. The ones who had unknowingly bought our dried sweet potatoes because they weren’t aware of your mother’s scandal, are now going to gang up to trouble us.”

“She also said that with Tong Xingda now a scholar, having such a mother-in-law simply brings shame on him.”

“In short, she hurled a lot of insults. Your mother couldn’t take it and ran into the wall.”

At this point, Qiao Changshun’s eyes were welling up, his nose stinging, “Your mother might look okay, but I know she’s been beating herself up inside.”

“She feels guilty about you and Dami. She really doesn’t want to live.”
