Chapter 820: The Disabled Young Master 33
Just then, the woman from the fourth branch suddenly asked, “By the way, Jiantong's wife, his legs aren't in very good condition. I wonder… have the two of you consummated your marriage?”
“It's not that Fourth Aunt is being nosy, but Jiantong is the only heir of the third branch. You can't have no descendants!”
As soon as these words were spoken, Tang Wan immediately looked troubled.
Seeing this, the four women exchanged a glance.
They hadn't consummated their marriage?
But thinking about it, with He Jiantong's physical condition, there was no way he could consummate the marriage!
For a moment, the four women quickly began turning their eyes, thinking about how to deal with He Jiantong.
After a moment, the woman from the second branch suddenly looked at Tang Wan sympathetically. “You poor child, why didn't you tell us earlier that you hadn't consummated your marriage? But don't worry. At worst, we can adopt one of our children to you later!”
As soon as she said this, the others immediately understood and nodded.
“Exactly, exactly! We can give you one of our children to adopt! That way, the third branch won't have to worry about having no descendants!”
……
Hearing this, Tang Wan practically wanted to laugh out loud.
These aunts really had quite the clever scheme.
If they gave one of their children to be adopted, wouldn't all the assets of the third branch eventually fall into their hands?
But on the surface, she put on an expression of hesitation and temptation.
Since they wanted to scheme against her Tongtong, she would happily play along and put on a good show for them!
……
Seeing that Tang Wan seemed rather tempted, the women tried even harder to persuade her.
Only then did Tang Wan give a slight nod. “I'll discuss this matter with my husband. If he doesn't agree… then forget it.”
How could they possibly let her discuss it with He Jiantong?
With that heartless man, he would certainly see through their intentions and refuse to let them adopt one of their children into the third branch.
So they hurriedly said, “You two have only been married for a short time, and your relationship isn't deep enough yet. It's not appropriate to bring this up now. Why don't you wait a while before discussing it?”
“Exactly, exactly. Jiantong has always been proud and arrogant. If you bring it up with him now, he might think you're questioning his ability and end up blaming you instead!”

Hearing this, Tang Wan immediately put on a grateful expression and nodded. “Several of you aunts are absolutely right!”
Seeing this, the four women immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
It looked like Tang Wan had agreed.
But when they thought about how He Jiantong, that wretched bastard, was no longer capable of being a man, why did they feel so delighted?
……
Afterward, afraid that He Jiantong might return, the women quickly left. Before leaving, they used He Jiantong's dislike of their various branches as an excuse and instructed Tang Wan not to tell him that they had come.
Tang Wan naturally agreed repeatedly.
However, the moment He Jiantong returned, she vividly recounted everything that had happened when the women from the various branches came over. At the end, she snorted coldly.
“These gossipy women really are too good at scheming!”
Watching her play several different roles, with every expression and movement perfectly acted out, He Jiantong immediately burst into laughter.
“I never knew my wife had such an astonishing talent for acting!” He Jiantong pulled her into his arms.
She was simply too adorable.
Hearing this, Tang Wan couldn't help looking rather pleased with herself. “Of course. I'm a method actress!”
“Oh? Then in front of your husband, are you a method actress too?” He Jiantong suddenly asked.
Tang Wan's heart gave a jolt.
MMP!
She had accidentally dug a hole for herself!
But she quickly reacted, leaned toward He Jiantong, and said, “In front of my husband, naturally I'm… an egg-yolk pie!”
“Hmm?” He Jiantong raised an eyebrow slightly.
“Soft and delicious on the outside, and yellow and sweet on the inside!” Tang Wan blinked.
