Chapter 163: Chapter 163: We Overestimated Her

Imagining the bloody, brutal scene, Tong Sanlang couldn’t help but shudder.

Indeed, with Qiao Xiaomai’s temperament, which was so volatile that it disrupted Sun Junyan’s studies, she would certainly do such a thing. She never lets herself be at a disadvantage.

However, if he should truly marry Qiao Xiaomai, he would never abandon his wife for a noble lady.

He, Tong Sanlang, was not that kind of beastly person.

Huh?

It seemed that he had also insulted his father through those words…

He quickly coughed and discarded this thought from his mind. There wasn’t even a hint of this becoming a reality yet, he was thinking too much.

Tong Tiehu’s scolding still continued, “A little belle from the countryside suddenly brings out so many new things, and he doesn’t even suspect a thing, even rushing to marry her. How did I end up with such a fool as a son!”

“All he does is think about money, only earning, earning, earning. If it were not for me and your sixth grandfather holding him back, he’d even want to defraud Jiwei Residence!”

“Hmm?” Tong Sanlang was unaware of this.

Tong Tiehu hurled the account book onto the table, cursing in frustration, “The good food and drinks that Jiwei Residence uses every day, he thought about replacing them with cheaper ones to save some silver!”

Tong Sanlang was speechless…

Jiwei Residence was known for pursuing the ultimate taste from exquisite ingredients. Yet in his desperation for profits, he was destroying his own business. He was blaming Qiao Xiaomai for selling the recipes foolhardy…

He pursed his lips and remained silent, reminding himself not to speak ill of his father.

Although he kept silent, Tong Tiehu didn’t hold back, “He even dares to think about this, I really want to beat him to death! Has his brain been kicked by a donkey!”

Tong Sanlang picked up the teapot on the table and filled a cup for him, “Grandpa, take a sip of tea to moist your mouth. My father…” He hesitated, and then half-heartedly found an acceptable reason for Tong Xingda’s actions, “He is also afraid of running out of silver.”

“Hmph! The money saved over the years is enough.” Tong Tiehu grumbled as he took a sip from the cup.

“Well, the more money, the better.”

“Do you think so too?” Tong Tiehu frowned, his gaze sharp.

Tong Sanlang remained calm, “No, actually I don’t care. I listen to my grandfather. Whatever my grandfather asks me to do, I do it.”

Tong Tiehu stared at him, his brows furrowing even more.

He looked back quietly, his dark eyes filled with trust.

Tong Tiehu held his gaze for a moment, then set down his teacup and gently stroked the account book. His previously sharp gaze began to blur, his straight back hunched, looking somewhat dejected.

Tong Sanlang observed him, thought for a moment, then directed the conversation towards something he was interested in, “Actually, her abilities aren’t mysterious at all. Yesterday she was unwell because of her period. She couldn’t even handle such a small matter. Grandfather, are we overestimating her?”

“Hmm?” Tong Tiehu frowned, “What did you say?”

Tong Sanlang recounted the events of yesterday in detail and then said, “If she truly has mysterious powers, why would she stay in this tiny Anping Village? When Zhu Cuiying from the Sun Family and others went to pick a fight with her, why didn’t she solve them on her own and instead came to ask you for help?”

Qiao Xiaomai’s strength was incredible, this was beyond his understanding.

Moreover, she was able to produce unknown precious swords and plants out of thin air, this was also beyond his understanding.

So, at that time, he associated Qiao Xiaomai’s abilities with voodoo..
