Chapter 4357: 5.0109 Staying

Long Hui breathed a sigh of relief, as if seeing a savior. He quickly stepped forward and bowed to his mother, saying, "Mother, please help persuade cousin. Just now, cousin Long Ji suddenly rushed out..."

Long Hui was good at explaining. In just a few words, he reported the entire incident to his mother.

Madam Long's face darkened. She turned to Long Ji and said, "Long Ji, how dare you speak like that? How much do you know about what happened back then? As a junior, how can you presume to discuss your Aunt Chu Yun's affairs? You have no respect for your elders! I will mention this to your mother and have her properly teach you what courtesy is."

Long Ji, already brutally beaten by Adult Qiaoqiao and now reprimanded by Madam Long, felt he had lost all dignity. His face, now unrecognizable, was swollen and distorted, quite horrifying.

Han Suqiong ignored him. Instead, she walked to Qiaomu and Mu Xingchen with a smile, speaking softly, "I received Long Hui's letter a while ago, saying you would be arriving soon. Oh, I've prepared everything for you—the side rooms, bedding, furniture, everything is ready. I've just been waiting for you to come."

"I've been expecting you for three days now. I didn't expect you to be so late. Did something happen on the way? Or did that brat Long Hui cause some accident by not leading you properly?" Madam Long's tongue was very sharp; she spoke rapidly, like beads rolling.

Even Mu Xingchen, who was quite good at communicating, found Madam Long's enthusiasm a bit overwhelming, let alone Adult Qiaoqiao, who always maintained a cold demeanor.

Seeing Madam Long's warm and charming manner, Adult Qiaoqiao was momentarily unsure how to react.

As the saying goes, one doesn't hit a smiling face. No matter how cold Adult Qiaoqiao's face was, facing Madam Long, she found it difficult to maintain her composure.

Mo Lian stepped forward, took his wife's small hand, and nodded slightly to Madam Long. "No need for trouble. We will be leaving now."

"Right!" Adult Qiaoqiao, who had been completely bewildered by the rapid-fire words, came back to her senses and nodded, "Let's go."

Madam Long quickly reached out to stop the two, saying with a smile, "Please don't rush, you two. This is...?"

"My husband."

"Oh," Madam Long's face showed sudden understanding, and she looked at Mo Lian with admiration. "My niece's husband is truly a talented man... Oh."

Her gaze shifted slightly, and she turned to Long Hui. Long Hui subtly nodded to Madam Long.

Madam Long immediately smiled, "Everything before was a misunderstanding. It's good that we've cleared things up. How could everyone in Wangchuan blame your mother, right? Your grandmother has been thinking of her all these years."

"The juniors are ignorant and don't even know how to speak. Your aunt will find someone to teach him a lesson later. Don't take it to heart," Madam Long said with a smile, taking Qiaomu's hand.

Prophet Tu frowned slightly, but seeing Madam Long speak like this, she couldn't well contradict her.

However, she still had many opinions about the young girl's ruthless way of doing things.

So young, yet so vicious with her hands. Look what she did to Young Master Long Ji?

"Aunt Ye is still at the city gate..."

"I already know about this. Have someone go and invite them in," Madam Long said with a smile. "No matter what, they are also people persecuted by Heaven's Fate. A guest from afar should always be welcomed, shouldn't they? If there are any future plans, we can discuss them with the Clan Leader."

Qiaomu frowned. Madam Long had said everything, leaving her with nothing to say.
