After a while, the housekeeper came out and led the two into the study.
Tang Xin looked at Tang Jingnan curiously. This was the first time she had seen Daddy Cheap. He looked like a middle-aged man in his forties, quite young and majestic, not like the father of a dozen children at all. She was right when she thought about it, the word "scumbag" would never be engraved on the face of a scumbag. Is it easy for a woman to be fooled if her appearance and personality are opposite
"The housekeeper said, you want to see me." Tang Jingnan looked directly into Tang Xin's eyes.
Tang Xin didn't dodge and looked back calmly, "The tenth brother broke into my house and wanted to kill me. Father, what should I do with this matter? According to the Tang family rules, the tenth brother should be expelled from the Tang family and canceled at the same time. He qualified for the Tang family master competition."
Deathly silence.
The butler held his breath and pretended not to exist.
Tang Jingnan tapped his index finger on the table, "The housekeeper mentioned to me, you robbed the guard that the old ten wanted?"
Tang Xin shook her head, "I didn't rob other people's guards. I just followed the rules of the Tang family and chose the guards I liked before leaving home. If my father thinks my actions are wrong, please tell me that I violated the Tang family's rules. What house rules."
Tang Jingnan frowned. If the old man is emotional and argues with him, he can play 50 big boards each and expose the matter. But the old eight calmly asked her what was wrong, but he was really not good at speaking. After all, this kind of internal decision cannot be on the table.
Don't look at him as the head of the Tang family, and a group of people behind him are staring, waiting to get hold of him. He had to be fair, even if it only seemed fair.
Thinking of this, he changed the question, "When the housekeeper entered the house, he saw you stabbing the old ten with a dagger, what's your explanation?"
Tang Xin raised her head and answered confidently, "I'm in self-defense. In order to ensure my safety, I need to make sure that he loses the ability to attack." For example, to become an immobile corpse.
"What nonsense!" Tang Jingnan lowered his face and asked, "What evidence do you have to prove that the old ten took the initiative to attack you?"
Tang Xin sneered secretly. Tangning took the initiative to find her, wasn't it obvious enough? That's the difference between someone who's heartless and someone who doesn't matter. She asked her to take the initiative to prove that Tangning had attacked her, not Tangning's proof to clear her suspicions. Fortunately, she had already taken precautions.
"I have a pinhole camera in my room, and the process is filmed. If my father wants to see it, I can go back and get it."
Tang Jingnan froze for a while, looking at Tang Xin as if he was looking at someone he didn't know. She had expected him to ask such a question, so was she ready
"No need." Tang Jingnan felt tight in his chest. Lao Shi is his most beloved son, and he is also a rare genius of the Tang family. Whether it is public or private, he has to keep Lao Shi.
The most promising person in the Tang family to inherit the title of patriarch has not yet reached the age of 20 to participate in the patriarch competition, and is about to be kicked out of the Tang family. No matter which class of children it is, such a joke has never been made.
He tried to pull the source of the old ten's impulsive actions to the old eight, but failed. He tried to wash the old ten, but failed. It seems that I can only play the family card.
"After all, the old ten is young and vigorous. You are a big sister, don't worry about it, do you have the heart to kick him out of the house?" Tang Jingnan said earnestly.
Tang Xin was unmoved, "If you do something wrong and violate the family rules, you have to be punished. It doesn't matter who you are."
After a pause, she suggested, "Otherwise, the father is the head of the family, and for the tenth brother, the rules of the Tang family should be changed. In this way, the tenth brother can stay at home smoothly."
The housekeeper wiped away sweat. He felt that Miss Eight was disrespectful to him, and he had a lot of complaints in his heart. But look at it now, Miss Eight doesn't even give face to the head of the family! Thinking of this, Miss Eight was quite polite to him.
The family rules of the Tang family were handed down from the ancestors. Could it be that he changed it when he said it
Tang Jingnan narrowed his eyes, "Everyone knows that Old Ten is the most suitable candidate for the next Patriarch, do you really want to go your own way?"
Tang Xin sighed, "It's up to my father to decide. Even if my father decides to let the tenth brother take over as the head of the family, I don't dare to object. As a member of the Tang family, I can only pray silently for the Tang family." Tang Ningyi's IQ, he is the head of the family, the future of the Tang family is worrying.
Hearing these words, Tang Jingnan's fire started to rise. Tang Xin looked docile, but there was a thorn in her words.
Tangning was his favorite son. Although he often said that Tangning was not good enough, that was not good, that was not good, but he was actually quite proud of his son. Now, in Tang Xin's mouth, his son was devalued like a waste. No one can look down on his son, even if it is his daughter who belittles Tangning!
Tang Jingnan was about to shout angrily when his mouth retracted into his throat, and he wanted to ask the old man to withdraw the appeal.
In case of a big incident, more people will watch the joke. In addition to his children, there are many children of the Tang family who participated in the competition this year. If Tangning could be thrown out of the game, many people would spontaneously join forces and force him to make a decision.
The more he thought about it, the more irritable Tang Jingnan became. However, the old man did everything flawlessly, and he couldn't excuse his son.
That idiot, the old ten, why didn't he use his brain before doing things? He couldn't handle such a big disaster. Do you have any common sense? Why don't you do something trivial
Tang Jingnan was just angry that the old man disliked his precious son, but when he turned around, he wanted to scold him.
"The old ten will lead the Tang family to a brighter future, and it is impossible for me to drive him away."
Taking a deep breath, Tang Jingnan continued in a deep voice, "Do you know why the children of the Tang family have to leave home and compete for the position of the head of the family? You will grow rapidly through the struggle. Ten or twenty years from now, no matter where you are, do What, this struggle experience will become your precious treasure."
"Learn to appreciate the experience."
Stop coaxing her. How many people can't sleep with their wealth on their backs. Wouldn't the old man want her to treat Tangningyi's attack as a fortune and let her thank Tangningyi
Tang Xin was expressionless, "I'm used to fighting with the world, and I don't need such wealth."
The butler was almost out of breath. Knowing that the ten young masters liked Yan Hao, he still insisted on choosing Yan Hao.
"You really don't care about the love between your siblings?" Tang Jingnan asked.
Don't talk to her about feelings, it hurts money. What kind of relationship does she have with Tangning? The touching sibling relationship of stabbing knives on each other
But Tang Xin has her own purpose, she relaxed a little, "I don't have to force him to leave the Tang family."
When Tang Jingnan heard this, he felt more at ease, his brows stretched, "Do you want the old ten to apologize to you? No problem."
Unexpectedly, Tang Xin shook his head gently, "Even if I forgive him, there is no guarantee that he will not target me in the future. I need more capital to become stronger."
"Yes." Tang Jingnan's expression remained unchanged, "You have a resource quota of 50,000, I can make an exception to give you 80,000."
The housekeeper sighed on the side, watching the business of the owner. The discount that was originally intended to be given is given away as compensation.
Tang Xin spat out two words, "Not enough."
Tang Jingnan thought for a while, "I can send you to Water Blue Star. Water Blue Star is rich in resources, beautiful environment, and easy to access. Besides, the Tang family has a good influence in Water Blue Star, which will be good for your future development."
"not enough."
Tang Jingnan was a little dissatisfied, "Don't go too far."
Tang Xin spread his hands, "I just hope that if I let my tenth brother go, I can also survive from his hands. Instead of letting him go a yard, it falls into his hands. After all, he is a Grade A gene."
Tang Jingnan listened to this and thought about it for a while, "I can't help you in other areas. I have a private warehouse that allows you to go in and pick three things. How much benefit you can get depends on your eyesight. how?"
Tang Xin thought about it for a while, and seeing that, there was no more benefit to be gained, so she simply nodded.
Tang Jingnan walked to the bookshelf and turned the antique vases on the shelf. Immediately, a one-person-high dark pavilion appeared in the study.
Tang Jingnan walked in first, Tang Xin followed, and the housekeeper and Yan Hao stayed outside the door.
Before entering the door, Tang Xin quietly asked Yan Hao, "What weapon are you used to using?"
Yan Hao's expression moved slightly, and he said in a low voice, "Long knife."
Tang Xin couldn't help frowning, she wanted to say, how could she use the same thing as Tangning? Thinking about it again, maybe Tangning learned from Yan Hao on purpose.
In the dark pavilion, weapons, jewelry, antiques, and ancient books are placed on shelves in different categories. There are many things, in any category.
"Choose three at random." Tang Jingnan stood by the door and closed his eyes.
Is it because she is afraid that there will be reluctance in her eyes, and she will see which thing is more valuable? Tang Xin pouted, this guessed wrong. She has seen a lot of good things, and she can distinguish them by looking at them.
"As long as I want, I can take three things? No matter what it is?" Tang Xin asked again.
"Yes." Tang Jingnan answered bluntly.
With this guarantee, Tang Xin felt relieved. His eyes swept around the dark pavilion, and he quickly picked out a long knife, a dagger, and a simple ring.
"Selected."
So fast? Tang Jingnan was slightly surprised, opened his eyes and saw that the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching. Forget the dagger, the sharpness is sharp, but he has other stocks. But the long knife was made by a master at a cost, and it was specially prepared for the old ten.
As for the quaint ring, Tang Jingnan's heart was trembling, it was a space ring! He only had two in total. One for myself, and one for the old ten.
"The ring is too worn out, do you want to replace it with another one?" Tang Jingnan asked dryly.
"No, I just like it." Tang Xin smiled, very satisfied, and put it on her index finger.
In her last life, she had a space bracelet, but unfortunately it was gone after she changed her body, and she was quite regretful. I didn't expect to get a space ring so quickly, so lucky.
Tang Xin happily brought the three treasures back to the study. The long knife was thrown directly to Yan Hao, and the dagger was hidden in the short boots. With a big wave of his hand, he decided to ignore Tangning's unintentional mistakes, promised to destroy the video, and left happily.
Call the housekeeper before leaving and go to the warehouse together.
Only Tang Jingnan was left gnashing his teeth on the spot. He desperately told himself it was an investment. The old ten needs a whetstone to hone. As long as the eighth is there, the tenth will have a strong desire to make progress. When the strength is strong, it doesn't matter if these foreign objects are gone.
Unfortunately, the clenched fist betrayed his true mood.
