Chapter 105.2
historical
“Uncle is praising.” Jiang Li smiled modestly. From the beginning, she never thought of letting Tong Zhi Yang go. Such a person as Tong Zhi Yang would only be a scourge if left behind. Who knew whether in the future he would cause the Ye family to stumble again. Let him be in a stalemate with He-shi, turning him into a laughingstock in Xiangyang. When this joke passed to Yanjing, passed to that person’s ear, it’s good to let the other party’s heart be blocked.

Must not let people do all the bad things and did not receive any punishment.
Ye Ming Yu had an energetic temper, doing so immediately after thinking. He stood up right away and said: “There’s no time to lose, I have been wanting to see Tong Zhi Yang lose face long ago. Ah Li, wait at home, this time, look how I take revenge for the Ye family!”
As soon as he turned around, he immediately disappeared from the door.
After Ye Ming Yu left, Tong’er asked worriedly: “Miss, would something happen with the third master doing this? In case that He-shi and Tong Zhi Yang join their hands and turn to deal with us, what should we do?”
“Don’t worry, that’s not possible.” Jiang Li smiled: “The back and front of the palm are both meat. He-shi certainly cannot tolerate Tong Yu while Tong Zi Yang is bound to protect Tong Yu. Just Tong Yu alone will make the husband and wife chaotic. As long as there’s a bit more instigation, it’s only a matter of time before they will be thoroughly at odds with each other.”
When she said this, Tong’er put down her heart.
Jiang Li, however, did not relax her brows.
For the time being, the Ye family’s affair had come to an end, but her affair had not yet been settled. Her real purpose of coming to Xiangyang was not here, but rather Tongxiang....
Her father, Xue Huai Yuan.
....
Ye Ming Yu’s movement was fast, faster than Jiang Li thought. In the same afternoon, a farce occurred in Xiangyang city.
In front of the Tong residence’s door, Tong Zhi Yang and the magistrate madam, He-shi, were causing havoc. Tong Zhi Yang even swung a slap at He-shi. The people in Xiangyang all knew that Tong Zhi Yang feared his tigress-like wife. Every day when he saw his wife, it was like a mouse seeing a cat. He did not even dare to refute his wife’s single sentence, much less lifting his hand to his wife. However, in broad daylight, under the watchful eyes of the people, Tong Zhi Yang ate the bear’s heart and leopard’s gallbladder and slapped his wife.
The common people who did not know the story looked on eagerly and noticed Tong Zhi Yang was protecting a young female behind him. There’s also a young child that looked similar to Tong Zhi Yang. The matter of this child was obvious at a glance. As it turned out, Magistrate Tong who did not frequent brothels actually raised a mistress outside. In addition, he even had a child. Now that it’s exposed, did not know how his wife found out, but naturally he had to be put in order.
However, Tong Zhi Yang seemed to be determined to stand with the outer room, surprisingly, he moved his hands for the mother and child. Could he still go back then? The He family was not a vegetarian. It’s well-known that Tong Zhi Yang had today, all depending on He-shi’s natal family.
“Damn you!” He-shi was slapped, her bun disorderly. She did not care about the style of a magistrate’s wife. Her finger pointed at Tong Zhi Yang’s nose as she scolded: “You actually dared to slap me for this woman? Tong Zhi Yang, your courage is getting bigger!”
Tong Zhi Yang immediately regretted after slapping He-shi, everything that he had was given by He-shi. Moving his hand on He-shi meant that he would not have any good fruits to eat in the future. But he couldn’t help it when he saw that He-shi was going to move her hand on Tong Yu. Tong Yu was his only son, He-shi, this poisonous woman, actually would not let off his flesh and blood.
Thinking like so, he felt angry and roared: “Poisonous woman, I’ve already had enough of you for a long time! I’ve been married to you for so many years without any heir. In any case, my Tong family must not disappear. Just based on this one virtue of not able to produce an heir out of the seven virtues, I can divorce you. Su Qin gave birth to a son for me, not only can’t you tolerate her, you still want to kill Yu’er. How could there be such a malicious woman like you!”
“Divorce me?” He-shi laughed angrily. She said: “Good, since you have the guts to divorce me, go back and write a divorce book now. I won’t say any more words, but remember well, your Tong family’s house, subordinates, plus your identity as the magistrate, all belong to me. Without me, you are nothing! Don’t you want to leave a descendant for the Tong family? It’s possible! I want to see, without money, how you are going to carry the family’s name!” She waved her hand and directly let the subordinates from the Tong residence follow after her. Entering the door, she instructed the subordinates and with a “bang” the doors closed.
Tong Zhi Yang was unexpectedly not allowed to enter the door.
In any case, Tong Zhi Yang was a magistrate. Though he had been suppressed for many years by He-shi, he still had his arrogance in front of the common people. Now that he was swept out of the door in public, he could not hold his face. The crowd was at once ordered to disperse, but his face was still full of humiliation.
Looking at the joke shown on the faces of the crowd, Tong Zhi Yang was both angry and hateful. He was angry because he did not know what happened that made He-shi discover the existence of Su Qin mother and son. He hated that He-shi did not take into account the affection of husband and wife. What came after was a trace of restless dread.
He-shi indeed could deprive him of everything that he had now. If he was not the magistrate, and there’s no silver in his hand, what should he do in the future?
This was a dilemma and he was at a complete loss.
....
Ye Ming Yu told everyone about the affair happening by the Tong residence’s gate.
Talking about Tong Zhi Yang’s disgraceful situation, Ye Ming Yu only felt gleeful. He described vividly He-shi’s bold and shrewishness and Tong Zhi Yang’s appearance that looked fierce outside but cowardly inside
Guan-shi said with surprise: “Unexpectedly, Magistrate Tong, who usually seems to be steadfast towards He-shi, was raising an outer room secretly. He was actually just paying lip service, even his son is already so big.”
“Tsk tsk tsk, really unexpected.” Ye Ming Xuan shook his head. “According to reason, since Tong Zhi Yang has concealed them for so long, this matter should be watertight. How was it suddenly discovered by He-shi at this critical juncture?”
“How can you not get wet if you always walk at the river bank,” Ye Ru Feng disdained, “he did things, paper can’t wrap fire, sooner or later will be found by others.”
Ye Ming Yu and Jiang Li exchanged a look. The matter about Tong Zhi Yang’s outer room was only known to the two of them in the Ye family. The reason why they did not tell the others was because they were afraid that they would oppose from the beginning. Although the Ye family was very wealthy, because the business was very big, they had to be especially careful everyday, doing business while acting according to convention. But Ye Ming Yu was not the same, he had huge courage and dared to act. Jiang Li only discussed with him and was not afraid that he would object.
