Chapter 401: Take Over Her Body!

Tong Xingda took steps into the room of his third son and closed the door behind him.

His third son looked at him with confusion, “Father, what’s the matter?”

“Prince Wei commanded us to have Xiaomai win over the retired emperor with her cooking skills, right?”

The third son nodded in agreement.

“So, what’s the situation between you two now? Have you decided to be together for life?”

The third son answered calmly without a change in his expression, “Father, why are you asking this?”

“Of course, I have to ask. Right now, it’s a matter of life and death for our family. If you are engaged to marry her, we can ask her to plead on our behalf when the time comes.”

“No.” Hearing the words, the third son shook his head immediately.

“Damn, you blockhead, go and seduce her right now, even better, take her virginity. That way, she would become completely devoted to you!”

The third son was silent.

He looked at Tong Xingda in disbelief, “Father, how could you come up with such a plan?”

In front of his own son, Tong Xingda felt somewhat embarrassed about this bad idea, but thinking of his family’s current situation, he became resigned to it.

He didn’t know how much the retired emperor already knew, plus his third son was also under surveillance, so he couldn’t send a message to the Prime Minister in the Capital City.

At this moment, it seemed that the only lifeline he could grasp was Qiao Xiaomai.

“I know it’s wrong, but we have no other choice. It seems both princes have shown interest in her, with the Crown Prince openly expressing his interest in marrying her and Prince Wei insisting on protecting her. If you don’t take some measures, you’ll never get her!”

“Father, considering her personality, do you think this plan will work? Have you forgotten the time she stabbed herself?” the third son said expressionlessly.

His own father could come up with such an idea, it was unbelievable…

So, his second brother’s lunacy was actually inherited from their father instead of influenced by Zhu Hongyun?

Reminded by his third son, Tong Xingda also remembered that incident and frowned, stopping talking.

Given Qiao Xiaomai’s personality, if the third son dared to force himself upon her, she would definitely take up a knife against him.

She wouldn’t suffer in silence.

Even if she couldn’t deal with the third son, she could still complain to Yang Ye and Yang Wang.

Such a situation absolutely couldn’t happen.

“So our family will just resign itself to fate like this?” Tong Xingda asked in a frustrated mood.

“We can only wait.”

Hearing this, Tong Xingda sighed heavily, grinded his teeth and said,”If only we could somehow turn the tide!”

Regrettably, the Tong family had abundant wealth, but didn’t have any power over the military!

If they had even 10,000 soldiers, he would dare to take a chance!

“Father, stop indulging in wishful thinking.”

“How am I indulging in wishful thinking? My head is under the blade and it could fall at any moment!” Tong Xingda gave him a glare.

The third son remained silent.

With his abilities, there would be no problem in escorting one person to safety.

They didn’t know the retired emperor’s attitude towards them yet. What if the retired emperor decided to spare the Tong family out of the old relationship? n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

If they ran away now and the retired emperor then decided to forget old relationships, that would be very awkward.

“Let’s wait for now. If it really comes to that, I’ll take father and leave.” He broke the silence.

He and Tong Tiehu had prepared for their death.

But it seemed Tong Xingda was not prepared yet.

If that was the case, he would make sure to preserve Tong Xingda’s life when the time came.

He must repay the debt of being brought up by him.

Hearing these words, Tong Xingda frowned, “What’s the point of me escaping alone?”

“It’s better than dying together.” The third son said.

Hearing this, Tong Xingda sighed heavily, “Let’s see how things go.”
