Chapter 126 Villain

Xiao Tangbao squinted his eyes as if he was thinking seriously, but in fact he was looking at the maid ghost to ask for her opinion.

Recalling the past and thinking about what she had heard and seen today, Xia Ying frowned and shook her head. "My Lady, I don't want to create karma anymore. It's not worth it! I just want to go to the underworld as soon as possible, reincarnate as soon as possible, and get away from everything now."

Tang Bao nodded. "Their lifespans are predetermined. Since that's the case... let them bear the punishment they deserve and live until their death!"

[But this is too easy for them. Um... you just wait by my side for a while~]

Seeing his beloved daughter nod, Prince Qing raised his eyebrows slightly: "Tang Bao, do you have an idea?"

"Well!" the little fellow said in a serious voice, "They stole and sold Tang Bao's slaves, so they will each be given fifty lashes! After the rest of the crimes are dealt with according to the law, the three of them will be sent to the quarry to earn money to compensate the neighbors for their losses."

Upon hearing this, the people around immediately knelt down and kowtowed to thank Xiao Tangbao, praising the princess for her wisdom and the little prince for his wit and intelligence.

The soldiers and yamen runners clapped their hands even louder, their palms aching from clapping, but they still praised the young princess for being born to be an official...

Xia’s mother: ???

No...why?

They didn't start the fire, and they also suffered heavy losses. Why should they be held responsible for compensation?!

Mother Xia's eyes rolled back and she fainted.

Little Tangbao twisted his body and got down to the ground. Seeing that Xia's mother was really fainted, he considerately asked someone to carry Xia's father and mother into an empty yard first.

Like a little adult, she walked into the empty yard with her hands behind her back. When she passed the cart carrying Xia Tianlong, she stopped and said to him seriously:

"Since you have enjoyed blessings you shouldn't have and taken wealth you shouldn't have, you must pay it back a hundred or a thousand times over!"

"Regardless of whether you set the fire today or not, since you are the cause of this incident, you should bear the corresponding consequences. Don't blame others when you suffer in the days ahead, because it will all be retribution for you!"

After saying that, Xiao Tangbao nodded with satisfaction...

She patted her chest and praised herself in her heart:

Tangbao is so smart! Not only did Tangbao understand the difficult truths that Father Xi said, but he also explained them so clearly. Tangbao is awesome!

Prince Qing was also amazed by his precious daughter. He didn't expect that she, who was so young and could barely speak clearly, could have such insights!

He was so clever, brave, and smart, just like him. He was indeed Yun Che's son!

Prince Qing shook his head and smiled triumphantly, and the fear that had made his hair stand on end when he chased after him was swept away.

He couldn't help but follow Xiao Tangbao. When he passed Chengfeng, the smile on his face froze instantly. He raised his leg and kicked him again: "I heard that you love the people like your own children? I heard that you are a good official?"

“…” Chengfeng subconsciously jumped back and hid.

He was smiling smugly when he met his prince's sinister eyes. He pursed his lips, took a big step forward, and stood back obediently.

Glancing at Prince Qing's face, he frowned and muttered, "No, that's not what my subordinate said... Why are you jealous?"

"Did I bring you here just to watch the fun?" Prince Qing said in a low voice, "Why don't you quickly regroup and prepare to head west of the city?"

"..." Go to the west of the city? Chengfeng swallowed his saliva and said bravely: "Your Highness, just send the little prince back to the palace. There are a lot of people in the Zhi Academy waiting to attack the princess..."

"Let's see who dares?!"

"You can't avoid it even if you try. This prince wants to see how much injustice they have put Tang Bao through to make this simple-minded, rule-abiding little girl learn to skip school?!"

Prince Qing looked at his precious daughter with eyes full of heartache. Seeing the little girl walk straight into the yard, he chased after her and closed the gate.

Tang Bao tilted his head to look at his father, held up two fingers, and asked softly, "Daddy, can you please help Tang Bao wake up Xia Ying's parents?"

Prince Qing didn't get angry at all and just turned around and did as he was told.

After drinking two buckets of water, Xia's mother took a long breath and sat up suddenly.

"Cough cough cough cough cough cough..."

Seeing that the woman was about to cough out her lungs and the injured man beside her was still unconscious, Prince Qing pulled out a dagger and slowly and fiercely stabbed Xia's father in the back of his hand.

The moment the knife was drawn, blood gushed out. Mother Xia's eyes widened, she covered her mouth suddenly, and trembled.

Not awake yet?

Just as Prince Qing was about to stab him a second time, Father Xia slowly opened his eyes, hissed, and sat up.

He groaned in pain, and as soon as he raised his eyes, he saw a fair-skinned child smiling at him with curved eyes, looking so cute.

He frowned and looked down at himself, only then did he realize where the pain that kept attacking his nerves came from...

"My, my, my, what happened to my legs? What happened to my hands? It was that bitch Xia Ying who did it, right?"

"Who is this kid? Is he here to watch me have fun? Damn it..."

Bang!

Just as Father Xia was about to fight the little kid in front of him, Mother Xia slapped him hard and glared at him with gritted teeth: "Shut up if you don't want to die!"

"..." Little Tang Bao curled his eyes and suddenly smiled brilliantly, revealing a row of shiny white teeth: "Why are you so scary? I'm just a kid, I don't care about anyone!"

"I was originally asked by the ghost to give you some silver! What a pity..."

The little kid who was smiling just now suddenly had a cold expression. His expression changed so quickly that it made people feel inexplicably creepy.

She stretched out her two little hands and made a quick gesture.

Suddenly, fog filled the surroundings and the ghost Xia Ying appeared in front of Xia's father and mother again.

Prince Qing casually lowered his head and pulled off a corner of his robe to wipe his dagger.

Xia's father and mother quickly supported themselves on the ground with their hands and moved their buttocks backwards in fear.

"What are you hiding from? Aren't parents supposed to be happy to see their children? Why would you be afraid of the ghosts of your children?"

As Xiao Tangbao spoke, he took out the bag of valuable gold, silver and jewelry from his Qiankun bag.

She put the things on the ground and said to Xia Ying, "People who are bad at heart will never admit their mistakes!"

"Your parents are born mean people. They won't regret hurting you. They will only be upset that they didn't know that ghosts and gods really exist in this world. They regret not being able to make their relationship perfect and not trying to suppress your soul!"

"When you were alive, you were a kind-hearted and filial child. This burden was something you worked hard to prepare and exchanged your life for. You must let them know what they have lost. In the years to come, they will regret it..."

"They stink, Tangbao hates them, why don't you go and talk to them!"

The little guy was very angry.

She knew that what Ji Ji said was right.

It’s just like when she used to eat candies secretly, she never felt like she was doing anything wrong. Candies are so good, they should be enjoyed by people who appreciate them.

But every time she was caught stealing candy by her mother, she would feel very regretful.

Do you regret not brushing your teeth properly after eating?

Why do I regret that I always have a lucky mentality and can't I listen to Da Niu and Er Niu and bravely eat a bite of garlic after eating candy?

While Xiao Tangbao was seriously reflecting on himself, Father and Mother Xia stared at the bag of treasure, their eyes sparkling and gleaming with cunning tricks...

Father Xia nudged Mother Xia with his elbow, and the two exchanged glances. Mother Xia was immediately no longer afraid of ghosts.

She looked at Xia Ying with tears in her eyes, crawled forward a few steps, and lightly touched Xia Ying's face.

"My dear daughter, you really didn't lie to me. You actually saved so much money for my parents' retirement..."

"My son is truly filial! Even before his death, he still remembered to come and see us! He's much better than your brother who just eats and waits for death all day long!"

"I was wrong before. I'm sorry. I apologize to you. I kowtow to you... Will you forgive me?"

"In the next life, we will still be mother and daughter. Mother will definitely treat you well and raise you personally!"

Mother Xia was heartbroken, crying and beating her chest, as if she was not the one who had cursed her own daughter on the mountain just now!

Xia Ying looked at the woman in front of her expressionlessly, and suddenly felt that the little princess's nose was indeed very good. They really smelled terrible and disgusting!

But since she was little, it's rare for her to touch her face...

Xia Ying's eyes rolled, and then they fell out. She stuck out her long tongue, took off her head, and put it in Xia's mother's arms: "No need for the next life, I can always be with you."

Looking at the "human head" in her arms, Mother Xia's pupils shrank. She threw Xia Ying's head out with an "Ah" and backed away.

With a faint "Hey" sound, little Tangbao suddenly jumped up, caught Xia Ying's head, and threw it to her again.

Xia Ying said, "Thank you, Your Highness," and then put the head back on herself with a smile.

The little guy saw that her back was facing him, but her head was facing him.

She kindly reminded: "Your head is in the wrong place~"

ah?

Xia Ying quickly took the head off again, then adjusted the direction and reinstalled it. This time it went much more smoothly.

Father and Mother Xia were stunned by the horrifying scene before them. A pool of yellow water soon flowed out from under Father Xia's body, which was very smelly.

Xia Ying sneered and knelt respectfully before Tang Bao. "Your Highness, I no longer wish to give this gold and silver to the Xia couple. Could you please rescind your previous request?"

Tang Bao curled his lips: "Of course you can."

Xia Ying immediately added, "I beg the princess to transfer three hundred taels of silver to Madam Wei. The rest of the silver I will voluntarily give to the princess to support the Ministry of Works in building the dike."

"Okay! I, Tang Bao, agree. I will have you buried properly and will not let you down for a single penny you paid!"

As the voice fell, the little fellow, under the murderous gazes of the Xia couple, put the bundle into his Qiankun bag, slowly closed his eyes, and prepared to pray for Xia Ying's soul...

The Xia couple, blinded by money, are ready to make a move.
