She looked at the 'cursed' white sugar cake in her hand, but she couldn't take it anymore.
At the office of Mrs. Wang in the East Courtyard, Mrs. Wang sat on the futon, closed her eyes slightly, and recited words in her mouth. She prayed reverently to the statue of Sanqing, hoping that the gods would bless her son to return safely.
"Old Madam, Ma Zhaotou came back with Brother Ting." Xia Ma came in and reported in a low voice.
Wang Shi was startled, and couldn't wait to ask: "What about Song Nian? Is Song Nian back?"
"Master didn't come back with them, and... and Brother Ting is still injured, I sounded like..." Recalling the words she heard outside the main room, Xia Ma was a little bit at a loss. .
"Like what?" Wang asked.
"It seems that the eldest master wanted to coerce Brother Ting to testify that Mr. Dong was the murderer, but Brother Ting refused, so the eldest pushed him out of the carriage. Thanks to General Zhenyuan passing by, he saved Brother Ting." Xia Mammy sighed, but answered truthfully.
Wang Shi didn't understand it at first, and asked a little confusedly, "Why does Bai Nian force Ting Ge'er to testify against Dong Shi as the murderer?"
Madam Xia sighed even more: "I don't remember the old lady? The master was falsely accused of taking bribes, covering up the real murderer, and arbitrarily sentencing the case. Ruo Ting's testimony that Dong was the murderer would not just confirm those who were right. Is the master's false accusation?"
Wang Shi suddenly realized, and then he couldn't believe it: "You mean Bai Nian, Bai Nian he... But, but why? They are brothers!"
Madam Xia said in a low voice, "I'm afraid that the eldest master is a brother, but the eldest master does not regard him as a brother."
Wang Shi was shocked and muttered: "Why? Why is this happening? Why did Bai Nian do this..."
"It doesn't sound good, even if it's a brother of a mother's compatriot, there are still many brothers who don't agree, not to mention the eldest master and the master..." Xia Ma shook her head, and it is not too straightforward to say.
Wang still had a hard time accepting it.
Since marrying into the Tang Mansion, she has regarded Tang Bainian and Tang Zhangnian as her own brothers. Even if she has her own flesh and blood, Tang Songnian, she does not dare to ignore those two.
She asked herself that she had fulfilled her duty as a first-mother, and treated their three brothers equally, and even more attentive to Tang Bainian, who lost her mother since childhood, which caused her own son's dissatisfaction later.
But now...
She twitched the corners of her mouth bitterly.
Did she do something wrong
Compared with the unpleasantness of the Wang family, the three of Ruan's mother and son in the main courtyard were relieved, but after learning the origin of He Shaoting's injuries, even the always good-natured Nguyen family blushed.
Xu Yunyao pursed her lips, her eyes flashing slightly.
As expected, Ben Gong was not mistaken, Tang Bainian in the big room was not at ease. But I didn't expect that the old man would have such a brother on the table, which is really embarrassing.
She observed He Shaoting secretly, and naturally did not miss the anger that could not be concealed on his face. He thought he was angry that Tang Bainian forced him to hurt him, but found that when Ma Zhaotou mentioned General Zhenyuan, the hatred in He Shaoting's eyes deepened.
She thoughtfully pinched the unfinished white sugar cake in her hand, completely unaware that the white sugar cake had been crushed into pieces by her, and she did not notice Brother Zhou's distressed look.
"Give this back to you." After a while, He Shaoting consciously calmed down a lot of anger in his heart, so he took out the longevity lock that had been hidden in his arms, and put it back on Xu Yunyao's neck with his own hands.
Xu Yunyao held the longevity lock and smiled sweetly at him with her face raised up.
He Shaoting only felt that the resentment in his heart because of General Zhenyuan had subsided a little, but he couldn't hold it back for a while. He imitated Ruan's usual movements and lightly pinched the little girl's face.
Xu Yunyao was stunned for a rare moment, and foolishly touched the place where he had pinched, and it took a moment for him to respond sluggishly—Is it considered that Ben Gong has been thinned by Young Moonlight
Thin and light? It's nothing, he's kissed Ben Gong, what's the point of pinching his cheeks now! Then, she retorted in her heart.
Nguyen Shi noticed their movements, smiled slightly, served He Shaoting a meal, and said softly, "Are you hungry? Eat something first, and I'll invite the doctor to show you after eating."
He Shaoting nodded and said softly, "Thank you madam."
Ruan rubbed his head, just smiled, and said nothing.
But despite this, He Shaoting felt a warm current slowly flowing in his heart, dispelling the chill that the man's words had brought him today.
He lowered his head, his voice unable to hide his guilt: "I'm sorry, ma'am, I couldn't help Master Tang."
Ruan's eyes flashed a bit of bitterness, but with a gentle smile on his face, he patted his shoulder and comforted: "Don't think too much, these are none of your business, Master Tang, he will be back soon. ."
"Really?"
"Really, you have to believe that evil can prevail over righteousness. Today is different from the past. Under His Majesty's rule, there will be no such bad things that frame the court officials." Ruan's voice was extremely firm.
Xu Yunyao was noncommittal.
In this world, light and dark, black and white will never be clearly distinguished. Today's King Rui and the future Emperor Taizong are considered to be a generation of famous monarchs. Under his rule, the national power of Daqi is prosperous, and the people's life is getting more and more hopeful, but he can't hide his lack of integrity when he competes for the crown prince.
But so what? This still does not damage his position among the common people, courtiers, and even historians. Future generations will only remember his wiseness and his exploits.
Brother Zhou looked at He Shaoting with blinking eyelashes, and suddenly made an 'ah', which attracted the attention of Ruan Shi and others.
"Brother Ting, it's all my fault. My sister stole the white sugar cake left for you." The little guy was sobbing.
Xu Yunyao was stunned for a moment, and then opened her big wet eyes and retorted in a milky voice: "Liar, I don't have it, my brother gave it."
Just open your eyes and talk nonsense, you will know this palace.
Brother Zhou opened his mouth slightly, then puffed out his cheeks, scratched his ears, muttered a few words, but didn't say anything else.
Ruan Shi shook her head helplessly, took off the white sugar cake that was so rotten from her daughter's hand, took the wet handkerchief handed over by Bi Wen and wiped her hands, and finally grimaced at her fleshy body. He pinched his face, and then lightly tapped his son's forehead, which attracted a pleasing smile from the little guy.
He Shaoting looked at the mother and son, with a look of envy and sadness.
When he was alone at night, Xu Yunyao called out Yan Wu.
When the figure with messy long hair and torn clothes appeared in front of him again, Xu Yunyao was speechless: Okay, why did you make yourself look like this
Yan Wu waited for this moment for most of the day, and immediately came to her side, pinched her torn sleeve and said aggrievedly: "Didn't Yaoyao ask me to protect that brother Ting? You see? In order to save him, I The clothes are torn and the hair is messed up."
Xu Yunyao patted the back of her hand without any sincerity: So that's what it is, it's really hard for my family, Ah Wu!
Yan Wu suddenly felt at ease, and she thought happily: Yaoyao said I belonged to her family!
Xu Yunyao coaxed her a few more words perfunctorily, and then asked her what happened yesterday.
It was only when she heard that He Shaoting rushed to General Zhenyuan regardless, and forced him to ask him if he had done anything he regretted, and she could not help frowning strangely.
Is Zhenyuan General Du Chengzhong? Could it be that Moonlight Boy has something to do with him
Xu Yunyao naturally knew a lot about Du Chengzhong. The most interesting thing about this General Zhenyuan is not his inspirational and legendary history from a long-term worker to a founding general, but his deep affection for his wife Yun, which has taught many boudoir girls to yearn for it. Incessantly, I envy the general's wife who can have such a loving husband.
That Yun family was originally the daughter of an official family of the previous dynasty, while Du Chengzhong was a long-term worker in a village in the Yun mansion. Occasionally, he met the daughter of the Yun family and fell in love with her at first sight.
Naturally, it was impossible for the Yun family's parents to agree to marry their precious daughter to such a low-ranking servant. About a year later, the Yun family decided to let the parents decide and married the son of the right official family, and the over-confident Du surname The long-term worker quit her job and left after she made a marriage plan.
If the two of them are well on their own on this day, it will not be considered a 'tell story'. It was only later that the war broke out, the former emperor was killed by his ministers, the building collapsed, and the new dynasty was established. A young widow with a young child struggling to survive.
Another chance, the two reunited on the street. Du Chengzhong, who was in the official position of General Zhenyuan, was obsessed with expelling all the concubines in the mansion. The son who came out is also regarded as his own.
And Yun Shi, naturally, has become the object of envy and jealousy of many women. After all, she is a widow, with her ex-husband's son, she can still marry into a high family, become a serious general's wife, and be treated wholeheartedly by her husband, such a blessing, which woman in the world does not envy
Xu Junyao also heard that the general Zhenyuan spent all his wealth to marry Yun. Everyone knew that the ten-mile red makeup when Yun Shi was married was bought by General Zhenyuan, but so what? It can only show that General Zhenyuan really put this new lady in his heart.
Nguyen was worried about her husband's affairs with Zhong Zhong, but she could only treat others with a smile on her face, pretending to be nothing, and anxiously waiting for her husband's return.
Also waiting are the supporters of the prince, including the prefect of Wu.
At this moment, he looked at the embarrassed Tang Songnian with a happy face, and said slowly: "Your Master Ji is probably already on the road of exile at this moment, of course, it is unknown whether he can reach the land of exile safely. Tang Songnian, You do have some ability, but you are too ignorant of praise, but this official does not want your life, and will continue to let you be your county magistrate in Anping County."
He is not a fool. If he wants to have a good political performance, he naturally has to keep a few capable people under his command. Otherwise, the kind of person who will only coax him comfortably but cannot show his political achievements. If the dog is gone, he can be raised again, and he can do things. It's a bit difficult to do without it, and without good-looking political achievements, it's not very beneficial for him to climb forward in the future.
A capable person like Tang Songnian, who is not obedient but has the ability, then presses him to the death and takes the credit for himself, wouldn't it be better
"But your good brother Tang Bainian doesn't seem to think that way. He even came to the door and told this official that he has a way to convict you of covering up the real murderer."
"Tsk tsk tsk, what a ruthless character."
Tang Songnian turned a blind eye and straightened his messy hair.
Wu Zhifu didn't care, and said again with a mysterious look: "Tang Songnian, in fact, not only Ji Yuan, but even King Rui has been around for a few days. When this official gave you a lesson, the crown prince had already started to do something to King Rui. When the time comes, the good news of the crown prince's enthronement should also come in the past few days."
Tang Songnian's heart tightened, but he didn't say anything.
At this moment, someone hurriedly walked in: "Your Excellency is bad, there is news from the capital that the prince has passed away, and His Majesty canonized Prince Rui as the new prince."
Wu Zhifu was shocked: "How is it possible?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Tang Songnian's chuckle: "It seems that you have disappointed your lord this time! His Royal Highness Prince Rui has his own celestial appearance, but it is His Royal Highness..."
Tang Songnian reluctantly stood up against the wall. Although he was in a state of embarrassment, light flashed in his eyes and his eyes were sharp.
"Win the king or lose the bandit, Master Wu, if I were you, what I should do most at this moment is to immediately try to clean myself up."
Wu Zhifu pointed at him, his fingers kept shaking and shaking, but he didn't say anything. He turned around and left in a hurry.
The prince failed to assassinate Prince Rui, but died under the arrows of Prince Rui's subordinates. Emperor Jianzhang issued an decree to denounce the ambition of the deceased prince, and named Prince Rui as the new prince. When she heard it, she was holding a pure and innocent smile in He Shaoting's arms.
Sure enough, everything was the same as in the previous life. Emperor Taizong was really resolute, and the next thing should be the news of Emperor Taizu's abdication and the new emperor's ascension to the throne.
And the old man Tang Songnian is about to usher in his official fortune.
Well, it's really unpleasant news...
She blinked her round eyes, and was led by He Shaoting and followed behind Ruan and Wang, facing the embarrassed but happy person.
Tang Songnian let go of the hand holding Shen Ming and Ma Caotou, and smiled at his biological mother and wife who were hurriedly welcoming him: "Mother, Madam, I'm back."
Xu Yunyao looked at Wang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were crying and laughing in front of her, and then looked at Brother Zhou who was hugging Tang Songnian's thigh, and yawned a little boringly.
This palace is still not suitable for watching reunion dramas...
"Come here, Baoya." She heard someone calling her, looked up, and saw Tang Songnian waving at her with a smile.
"Come on." Before she could move, He Shaoting gently pushed her.
She subconsciously took a few steps forward, and suddenly her body was in the air, and her whole body was lifted up high, making her scream in horror, but the man's hearty laughter sounded in her ears.
Damn old man, as soon as he comes back, he will scare Ben Gong!
