Suck up?
Upon hearing these words, Tong Tiehu couldn't hold back a cold laugh. "Who do you think you are that she would need to curry favor with you?"
"She's someone who has prestige in front of the retired Emperor, and she's on good terms with two princes. She needs to suck up to you? Just how big do you think your faces are?"
This naked statement was a straight, direct slap.
Tong Eralang flushed, "So what if she has prestige? She still sends sour plum soup as always. Our family has no relation with her, but she keeps sending the soup, isn't it just because she wants to please us in hopes of marrying into our family?"
"Stop fooling yourself. That's her way of showing gratitude for the numerous times I've helped her." Tong Tiehu snorted coldly.
"Marry? Do you even know the current state of our household? She'd rather put up with us without complaint than marry in."
