Chapter 949: No Reason_1

"Tong Erlang, get up." Yang Wenxiao spoke; the ground was covered with snow, and continuous kneeling could lead to problems.

However, his tone shifted as he continued, "Although I am the retired emperor, even an upright official finds it hard to settle family disputes. I don't know the details of this matter, so it's not appropriate for me to intervene."

Tong Erlang stood up, and upon hearing this, he raised his hand to wipe away tears, "Then may I explain the situation in detail to you?"

"Explain what?" Yang Wenxiao asked with interest.

"About Xiaomai and what happened with my family."

Yang Wenxiao clasped his hands behind his back and nodded, "Alright, go ahead, but focus on the main points."

Focus on the main points.

Tong Erlang mulled over these words before he began.

He started with how his mother and his wife had always disliked Qiao Xiaomai and went on to detail a few incidents that happened after Qiao Xiaomai married Tong Sanlang.
