Tong Xiangqiao rolled her eyes, thinking, 'Only you can play the good person. Tong Yao wasn't cursing you, so it's easy for you to stand there and talk, isn't it?'
Despite these thoughts, she didn't continue lecturing Tong Yao. There were more urgent matters at hand. First, she needed to get her second brother to write a reconciliation letter.
