Chapter 240 - The Old Madam Takes Action (1/2)

Chapter 240 The Old Madam Takes ActionTang Xia looked at Zhong Ze with slight disgust. “How dare he look down on me? I should be the one looking down on him!”

“I don’t want your stinking money. I also have my principles, ok?”

The expression in Zhong Ze’s eyes suddenly changed, as he looked at her and raised his eyebrows. “What principles could you possibly have? If you had principles, would you have done such a shameless a thing as to sleep with this man?”

Tang Xia was fed up and she clenched their fists tightly. What did he mean by a shameless thing like sleeping with a man? She had not done such a thing at all! She did not even know that she was being cuckolded!

She took a deep breath. Right now, she did not want to argue about this matter at all. Anyway, as long as there was no evidence, Zhong Ze would not believe that she had beaten him to death. “I don’t want to discuss such a useless problem. I just need one word from you. Would you agree to a mutual divorce in exchange for the jade pendant?”

Zhong Ze suddenly became angry, rushed directly to Tang Xia and grabbed her throat. “Tang Ning! I already stretched my tolerance to the maximum, when I allowed you to assume the position of the First Lady.”

“Yet now, you repeatedly tried to take away the only thing that she left behind for me to remember her by!”

Tang Xia was stunned, and stood rooted to the spot, and she could only feel that her throat becoming slightly constricted. “What…the heck…” Why could she not understand a single bit at all?

Just as Tang Xia was about to pass out, Zhong Ze released her.

Tang Xia immediately began to take in deep breaths of air. She heard the voice of Zhong Ze by her ear, “Let me warn you one last time. You better behave yourself and depart from here. Otherwise, I will not go easy on you.”

After Zhong Ze said this, he turned around to pick up the divorce letter and threw it in front of her, before he left without looking back.

Bi Luo, who was standing by the side, was shocked. She had never seen the master in such a scary mood before, and this instantly overturned her opinion of the master by one level.

“Madam! Are you alright!” Bi Luo was so scared that tears flowed from her eyes, and she cried as she checked Tang Xia’s body.

However, Tang Xia gradually spaced out as she watched his back view. She lifted her hands to brush off Bi Luo’s hands, which were randomly checking her body. “I’m fine. This is nothing compared to that sicko Chu Tianjiao, who only knows how to torture others every day.”

Bi Luo became even more lost. “Who was Chu Tianjiao? What is a sicko?” But Tang Xia did not expect her to understand this.

She walked straight up to the fair-faced man and gave him a kick. “Speak! Why did you frame me? Was this on the instructions of Ling Er?”

Her kick caused the man to stagger forward and fall to the ground, but he did not say a word and merely trembled as he knelt there.

“Haha, you have quite a strong character! Are you going to speak up or not?” As Tang Xia spoke, she turned to look for a weapon and mindlessly lifted up a flower vase.

“If you don’t speak up, I will let you know what it feels like to have your head cracked open today!”

The man was instantly stunned and his face, which was already fair, immediately became paler. However, at that moment, an older maid walked over, and caught sight of this scene, as soon as she came in.

Bi Luo, who was standing by the side, actually felt a little embarrassed and Tang Xia placed the vase down.

“First Madam, the Old Madam would like to invite you over.” As the maid spoke, she even bowed. Bi Luo, who was standing by the side, quickly returned her bow. “Thank you for passing on the message, Aunt Su Zi.” It immediately dawned on Tang Xia that she was the Old Madam’s aunt and her name was Su Zi.

“Please tell the Old Madam that I will head over, after I’ve changed my clothes.” Tang Xia replied politely.

The man, who was kneeling beside her, was so relieved to have been saved. However, when he lifted his head, he saw Su Zi giving him an indifferent look, before she turned and left.

Tang Xia looked at him. She no longer had the mood to bother about him and straightaway went to tidy herself up. “Bi Luo, there isn’t anything inappropriate about me, is there?” Bi Luo sized Tang Xia up carefully, and nodded her head.

She had just changed her clothes and did not want to change again. It would be too tiring and she merely said that to buy some time.

“Let’s go, Bi Luo. Let’s go and meet the Old Madam.” Bi Luo then pointed to the man next to them. “But Madam, what about this man?”

However, Tang Xia did not even look at him. “Lock all the doors and windows. I would like to see if he can escape! I will deal with you when I’m back!” Tang Xia gritted her teeth as she said this. She then turned directly, pulled Bi Luo along and left.

Even with Bi Luo leading the way, Tang Xia reached the Old Madam’s residence with much difficulty. The maids, who stood at the entrance, bowed to her. “Greetings, Madam. The Old Madam has been waiting for you for a long time.” As she spoke, she made way and the two of them entered.

When the two of them walked in, they heard the Old Madam’s giggles and they saw her come forward to receive Tang Xia personally. Tang Xia was instantly overwhelmed by this and said, “Greetings to the Old Madam.”

“Oh! You are finally here! Come quickly and take a look at the sugar pear cake that Su Zi made for me today. I’ve already tried it, and it is really delicious.”

As she spoke, she stuffed a piece into Tang Xia’s hands. The two of them sat down on the chairs and Tang Xia appeared to be slightly helpless. “Did the Old Madam treat Tang Ning so well too?”
