Transmigrated Genius: Fragile Heiress Reigns Supreme-Chapter 758 - 759: Passing Away (4)

Doctor Hu turned his head and glanced, shaking his head slightly in his heart.

"You dare hit me." Over the past decade, despite the conflicts between the sisters, they had never resorted to physical violence. Tong Xiyang squinted at Tong Xiyan and said, "You all are indeed the same, always kicking those who are down... hypocrites." As she spoke, she pointed with clenched teeth at Lady lying on the bed and shouted, "Am I wrong? Shouldn’t she die? Haha... She should have died long ago. Such a vicious person doesn’t deserve to live in this world."

Tong Xiyan was furious beyond control. No matter what Lady was, she was still her mother, and she could never allow someone to slander and attack her at such a moment. She approached Tong Xiyang, speaking sharply, "Get out, or don’t blame me for being rude!"

Tong Xiyang sneered coldly, and Tong Xiyan shouted loudly, "Someone, throw this lunatic out for me."

A nanny lifted the curtain and entered, to grab Tong Xiyang, but she merely swung her arm and said loudly, "Throw me out? What right do you have to throw me out? Is it because you are the legitimate daughter of Tong Mansion or because your status is exceptionally noble?" She laughed dryly, "You are just a woman discarded by the Jiang Family. Look at yourself, what do you look like now? You shamelessly flirted secretly, and in the end, what happened? Your romantic dream came true, only for you to be discarded back. What right do you have to pretend to be noble and virtuous here? I tell you, you are not even as good as the prostitutes in the brothels. At least they are open and honest. As for you, your entire being is only two words: hypocritical!" With that, she took another step towards Tong Xiyan, her gaze fierce: "Do you know why you were discarded? Haha..." Leaning closer to Tong Xiyan’s ear, she continued, "You should be thanking me!"

Did she really have a part in it? Tong Xiyan stared at Tong Xiyang, for although she had long suspected her involvement in the matters with Jiang Shilin, guessing was one thing but confirmation was another. She had been deliberately avoiding everything about Jiang Shilin, yet today Tong Xiyang cruelly tore open the wound, shamelessly saying such things. Tong Xiyan wished she could tear her apart and throw her out immediately.

"What’s wrong, can’t speak?" Tong Xiyang sneered: "I tell you all, if I can’t live well, none of you should dare think about living well." With that, she pushed Tong Xiyan aside and ran towards Lady’s bed. Without hesitation, she pushed Doctor Hu away, leaned over the bed, and screamed hoarsely at Lady’s face, "Mother, do you know why we sisters ended up like this? Why each of us met such an end, do you know why?"

Lady trembled slightly with her eyes closed.

Nanny Fang led several servants to pull Tong Xiyang away, but she struggled, shouting towards Lady, "Because... we have a mother who is praised as dignified, noble, and benevolent, and because of her, we sisters ended up so ’blessed’. You must not die, you must live, live to see how your own daughters live in misery for the rest of their lives, and watch the person you’ve always disliked rise to the top, worshiped and respected by everyone. You must witness this with open eyes because it’s all your creation..." Before she could finish, Nanny Fang gagged her with a cloth, and three or four servants grabbed her limbs and carried her out.

"Madam." Mr. Hu picked himself up from the ground to check on Lady, only to see her fingers, which had shown a slight response earlier, were now completely still. He reached out his hand to check her pulse...

Tong Xiyan, hearing Doctor Hu’s voice, immediately rushed over, "Mother!" Then turned her head and instructed, "Hurry and bring elder brother and father here."

Nanny Fang stumbled as she rushed outside. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Madam Jiang helped First Madam see the guests out and also bid farewell to Xiqiu, "Mother’s condition is bad, I must return. I’ll visit you another day."

"Please hurry back." Xiqiu nodded, letting Nanny Cen escort Madam Jiang out.

Madam Jiang left, got into a sedan, and hurried back to Tong Mansion.

After tidying up the house, First Madam returned to Marquis Mansion. Grand Dowager rested after a long day, and Fourth Master Xiao returned from outside.

Xiqiu looked apologetic and asked, "Did Fourth Master have lunch with Second Brother while you were in the outer courtyard?"

Fourth Master Xiao had a slight scent of alcohol, glanced distantly at Zhi, and nodded, "I did." Then he was about to leave, "I need to wash and change clothes; there’s a smell of wine on me." With that, he went to wash, soon returning in clean clothes, sat down by the bed, and gently touched Zhi’s small face, "Were many people here today, was he well-behaved?"

"He didn’t make a sound." Xiqiu smiled, recounting the events before and after the third-day ceremony and mentioned the gifts from Madam Qian and Madam Ruan, "...too extravagant."

Fourth Master Xiao slightly raised his eyebrows but wasn’t surprised. He nodded, "Since they’ve gifted it, just accept it." Seeing him indifferent, Xiqiu had a plan and mentioned First Young Madam Ren, "I didn’t expect her to return. She seemed to want to say something to me, but in the end, she didn’t."

"I know." Fourth Master Xiao lifted Zhi, and his handling was indeed much more adept now compared to before. He said casually, "The Imperial Decree for the Ren Family will arrive tomorrow."

No wonder First Young Madam Ren came. She had Bihuai bring over the gift First Young Madam Ren gave. Inside the brocade box was a small gold tiger weighing about seven or eight ounces. She frowned slightly. The Ren Family isn’t what it used to be. Such an object is likely quite precious. She didn’t expect First Young Madam Ren to give such a generous gift. Looking helplessly at Fourth Master Xiao, she smiled, "This gift, I don’t know when we can repay."

If the Ren Family splits, whether there will be any contact with the Ren Family’s main branch in the future will depend on Tong Xiyang, but based on her understanding of Tong Xiyang, there likely won’t be much interaction.

"Tomorrow, Sister-in-law is holding a mourning ceremony for Big Sister at the mansion. I’ll have Tiancheng send Xing and Mother back. Would you like to go take a look?" It had been planned earlier, but Tong Xihua’s anniversary had passed, and with one thing after another, it got delayed.

Upon hearing this, Fourth Master Xiao nodded and talked about the arrangement made with Xiao Yanyi in the outer courtyard today, "The addition to the family registry is set. Second Brother mentioned a distant uncle of the family who went to Yingtian in his teens and never married. He planned to write to him and, if there’s no issue, we’ll proceed."

Xiqiu listened and nodded, asking, "What does Mother think?"

Fourth Master Xiao hesitated briefly, then replied, "She only mentioned offering incense to Father, nothing more."

The couple didn’t continue the conversation.

"He’s awake." Fourth Master Xiao looked down at his son in his arms, "Why is he awake now?"

"Let me see." Xiqiu sat up, took Zhi in her arms, and sure enough, saw his long eyes open, his small red mouth smacking softly. Fourth Master Xiao peeked over, uncertainly asking, "Is he thirsty?"
