Chapter 163: Chapter 163 The Truth is Too Unexpected

Madam Tang and Father Tang did not communicate well, and this ultimately ended with Father Tang kneeling and scrubbing the washboard.

That night, Tang Chuxia learned an unexpected truth from Madam Tang.

It was a fortuitous coincidence because of Wanqiu’s presence that Chuxia asked Madam Tang what leverage the Yang Family held over Grandpa Tang and Grandma Tang that forced them to raise her.

"Actually, your grandparents didn’t dislike you; they were just afraid to let Tang Wanqiu be raised with you!"

Madam Tang sighed.

It turned out that apart from the reason related to Father Tang, there was also a connection between Grandpa Tang and the Yang Family, who had asked Grandpa Tang to take care of Tang Wanqiu.

On one side were his son’s family who might get implicated, and on the other side was a debt of gratitude; Grandpa Tang finally chose to take Wanqiu and return to the old house.

Ultimately, Grandpa Tang distanced himself from his son’s family and returned to the old house.

"Yang Chao is a madman!"

This was the second time Madam Tang had mentioned this.

Tang Chuxia felt strange, "What did he actually do?"

"Do you know why he ran into trouble back then?"

Madam Tang threw back a question, but she didn’t expect Chuxia to answer and directly provided one herself.

"Besides some political reasons, there was another reason – he made a fatal mistake. Back then, he and Wen Wenqing nearly destroyed the entire Yang Family!"

Mentioning this matter, Madam Tang felt very emotional.

"To this day, I still can’t understand why the Old Master Yang still wanted our family to take care of Tang Wanqiu after what those two did!"

Tang Chuxia was puzzled, "Mom, what do you mean? Is there something wrong with Wanqiu’s identity?"

Madam Tang nodded, "Back then, the Old Madam of the Yang Family was still alive, and she sought me out once. She mentioned Wanqiu’s origins and suspected that she wasn’t really a child of the Yang Family at all, but Yang Chao wouldn’t admit it. The Old Madam knew you had a great-uncle who was a Taoist. Originally, she had asked your great-uncle to take the child away, but I was giving birth at the time, and a very powerful old Taoist came. Somehow the Old Madam got wind of it and insisted on putting the child under my name, asserting that it would absolutely not harm our family."

The amount of information was overwhelming, and Tang Chuxia felt dizzy.

"In fact, the Old Madam Yang did not lie. Back then, the Yang Family nearly faced annihilation, but after all, a dying camel is still bigger than a horse, and they retained quite a few good connections. The fact that your maternal grandfather was able to safely get through that crisis was not only because our Zheng Family was truly well-behaved, but also because of the protection from the Yang Family."

Tang Chuxia: ...

Things seem to be getting more and more complicated!

Madam Tang sighed, "Unfortunately, Wen Wenqing was shortsighted. Seeing the Yang Family’s downfall, she immediately abandoned Yang Chao and married into the Jin Family of Beijing."

"Now that Yang Chao is coming back, seeing Wen Wenqing act like a headless fly even thinking of depending on your father, I just find it funny!"

Tang Chuxia seized a key point: "Isn’t Wen Wenqing getting married for the third time? Why would she be afraid of Yang Chao?"

Madam Tang was stunned, "Third marriage? Who told you that?"

Tang Chuxia oh-ed, "Just guessed!" She couldn’t well say that it was told to her by Gu Beihuai, and could only breeze past it ambiguously. From here on, she had already started to distrust the descriptions about the plot in her mind.

The plot had already deviated too much.

"Even if Wen Wenqing gets married for the third time, no matter whom she chooses, she cannot escape Yang Chao."

Madam Tang stated confidently, "Yang Chao is a madman, a madman bold enough to act against his whole family. Do you think he won’t settle scores with those who betrayed him as soon as he gets free?"

Tang Chuxia thought for a moment and shook her head.

He couldn’t help himself.

"If Wen Wenqing could’ve married off three times before, I’d believe it, and even the prospects weren’t bad, but after Yang Yingjie’s visit, I think she can’t get married now, otherwise she wouldn’t have set her sights on your dad!"

Tang Chuxia chuckled slyly.

Father Tang seemed to have no secrets at Madam Tang’s.

But Father Tang indeed still had feelings for Wen Wenqing.

After listening to Tang Chuxia’s analysis, Madam Tang only said, "What’s there to worry about? The more unattainable it is, the more he fixates on it. I guarantee that if your dad actually got together with Wen Wenqing, he’d discard her the moment he got what he wanted!"

Tang Chuxia rubbed her hands, "Mom, explain more, why is that?"

"Men and women are all the same, if love can’t withstand the erosion of time when they are mutually in love, let alone when they are not young anymore. They’re old enough to have grandchildren, your dad isn’t stupid, he understands that being with Wen Wenqing would ruin his reputation and gain him nothing!"

Tang Chuxia agreed with Madam Tang’s words.

"Besides, your dad, he just can’t accept it. Wen Wenqing dared to abandon him when he was down and out, he won’t be content unless he humiliates Wen Wenqing!"

After Madam Tang finished speaking, Tang Chuxia recalled from a book that Father Tang did end up with Wen Wenqing, they even held a wedding banquet but never registered their marriage. Later, the heroine mentioned that Wen Wenqing died in a hospital bed, and Father Tang was distressed for a long time!

Considering the current situation, some details might need revision.

What exactly Father Tang was thinking, Tang Chuxia couldn’t judge, but given Father Tang’s personality, it might all be an act.

She saw that Madam Tang wasn’t blindly in love and could crisply analyze so much, which made her sigh with relief.

If Madam Tang was wholly fixated on Father Tang, they would worry about her getting hurt.

"By the way, you were asking about your granduncle before, don’t hide anything from me!"

Tang Chuxia then shared her dream-like experience, Madam Tang checked Tang Chuxia’s body nervously, and after confirming she was really fine, she felt aghast.

"That granduncle of yours is also a madman, otherwise, the villagers wouldn’t have driven him out!"

There was too much information for Tang Chuxia today, making her head spin.

"If Tang Wanqiu knew him, that might explain why she has been secretly hurting you all these years!"

Madam Tang mentioned this, teeth itching with hatred. If it weren’t for the Yang Family protecting her, she would have killed Tang Wanqiu.

Daring to target her daughter was akin to seeking death.

However, Madam Tang would definitely not spare Tang Wanqiu, only not taking action now because it wasn’t the right time.

"Since you’ve started showing Divine Power, your granduncle has visited me several times, trying to convince me to help you manage your Divine Power; I never agreed!"

Madam Tang reminded Tang Chuxia, "If he shows up again, remember to beat him up first. That guy has many tricks but weak physically, just beat him till he’s barely breathing!"

Tang Chuxia...

So it turned out her ferocity was inherited from Madam Tang.

"Also, wait until midnight, then call Jianjun and Jianbing out, we’re going to dig up a grave!"

Tang Chuxia almost lost her breath.

"For safety, go knock out your dad to ensure he doesn’t interfere!" Madam Tang added.

Tang Chuxia was utterly at a loss for words.
