Mrs. Ding seemed to have thought of something. The smile on her face faded and her brows slightly frowned: "It's that kid Xuyang... Hey, I'll go see him."
Ding walked out of the room and went to Bai Xuyang's yard.
The door to his bedroom was half open, and as I approached it, I could smell the smell of alcohol.
When Ding smelled the wine, she felt a surge of anger. She pushed open the door and saw a pile of empty wine jars in the room. A man was lying among them, drunk as a jerk. It was Bai Xuyang.
Ever since Gu Ying was executed, her son has become like this and has been depressed for more than a month.
Doing this for a woman is really pathetic!
"What's so good about that woman Gu Ying? She deserves it. Is it worth you treating her like this?" Ding said coldly.
Bai Xuyang suddenly raised his head and looked at her with red eyes.
"Don't talk about her like that!"
"In your eyes, she is more important than me, your mother?" Mrs. Ding's voice was cold.
Bai Xuyang didn't say anything.
Ding was almost mad with anger. She walked up to Bai Xuyang and tried to drag him up.
"Bai Xuyang, get up!"
Bai Xuyang directly waved Ding's hand away.
Ding's eyes turned red with anger.
Bang!
A slap landed directly on Bai Xuyang's face.
Bang!
Two more slaps.
Bai Xuyang's face was slapped red.
Bai Xuyang stared at Ding like that, his eyes were indifferent and emotionless.
That look made Ding's heart ache.
"Xuyang, don't look at me like that. I do all this for you. I'm tired too. Can you please stop being depressed and help me?" Ding said with red eyes.
"It's for your own sake." Bai Xuyang sneered.
She kept saying that she was doing it for him, but in fact, it was just to satisfy her ambition. I was just a tool of hers.
His birth was a means for her to fight for her own interests.
When they were young, they lived in a small courtyard outside. In order to get his father to come and see them, she would let him wear only a single piece of clothing in the cold winter and stand in the cold wind for a whole day. When he fell sick, his father would come.
Ah Ying was the only person in the world who cared about him and his feelings. No matter what Ah Ying did, she was the most important person in his heart. He hated himself for not being able to save Ah Ying! After Ah Ying died, he felt that life was meaningless.
"Do you have to say these words to make mother feel uncomfortable?" Ding said with red eyes.
"Do you have to be so hypocritical?" Bai Xuyang sneered.
Ding bit her lip and took a deep breath.
She was feeling resentful.
This is the child she gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy. She worked hard to raise him to this age. She worked hard to seize the Bai family's property, wasn't it all for him in the end?
As a result, she raised an ungrateful person who could not understand her good intentions at all.
Forget it, it turns out that no one else can be relied upon, including my own son. The only one I can rely on is myself.
"Xuyang, don't you want to avenge Gu Ying?" Ding said.
Bai Xuyang looked at Ding, his eyes flashing.
"If it weren't for Tang Li, would Gu Ying have been like this?" Ding asked. "If Tang Li hadn't come to the capital to acknowledge her relatives, Gu Ying's identity wouldn't have been exposed. If her identity hadn't been exposed, with the Gu family protecting her, how could she have ended up like this?"
Yes, if Tangli hadn’t returned to the capital, Aying wouldn’t be like this!
And the Gu family!
Aying has been the daughter of the Gu family for six years, but the Gu family has no gratitude at all and has turned their backs on her!
There was a gleam of hatred in Bai Xuyang's eyes.
Aying is gone, only hatred can support him!
"The General's Mansion is at its peak of power. We, like the General's Mansion, are like an ant trying to shake a tree." said Ding.
"Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, so let's take it step by step." Bai Xuyang said.
"Yes, we must first seize the leadership of the Bai family! Xuyang, that Tangli is very close to Bai Muyang..."
"The Bai family will definitely be mine!"
"Xuyang, go take a shower and change your clothes." said Ding.
Bai Xuyang stood up.
Mrs. Ding called the servants and prepared water for him to take a bath.
He took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and became a handsome young man again, just like before, but his expression was sinister and looked a little scary.
Mrs. Ding was very satisfied and patted Bai Xuyang on the shoulder.
"My son, have a good sleep."
Bai Xuyang turned and entered the tidied bedroom.
Ding left Bai Xuyang's yard.
"Madam, madam." A fat figure ran towards Ding.
When Mrs. Ding heard the voice, a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes. When the person approached, a gentle smile immediately appeared on her face.
"Master." Ding called out.
Mr. Bai hugged Ding.
"I just went to your yard to look for you, but the servants said you came to see Xuyang." said Mr. Bai.
"Xuyang is a very loyal and righteous child." Mrs. Ding sighed softly.
"Just like me, a lovesick person." Mr. Bai said with a smile.
Ding glanced at him coquettishly: "You Bai family are full of love-struck people. Master, Mu Yang..."
Speaking of Bai Muyang, Mr. Bai's face suddenly turned cold.
"Don't mention him!"
"Master, Mu Yang is not young anymore, and I am not his biological mother. If his lifelong affairs are not resolved, outsiders will say that I, as his stepmother, am..."
"You have been good enough to him. No matter what others say, it is enough for me to know that you are good." said Mr. Bai.
The two of them leaned against each other intimately, looking like a loving couple.
…
After Tangli said goodbye to Bai Muyang, he went to pick up Sanbao first.
When she entered the mansion to see Bai Muyang, she handed Sanbao to a reliable servant of the Bai Mansion and asked the servant to take Sanbao out to play.
When Tangli found Sanbao, she saw her curled up in a chair, a small ball with a pile of cakes in front of her. Her two little hands were full of snacks, and she stuffed them into her mouth, making her cheeks puff up like a little hamster.
"Sanbao, let's go home." Tangli said.
Sanbao grabbed two handfuls of snacks from his pocket and then trotted over to Tangli.
Tang Li took out a handkerchief, wiped her little hands clean, then took her hand and left Bai Mansion.
Tang Li did not go back home directly, but walked towards the Imperial College.
The Imperial College was the highest institution of learning in the capital. Those who could study there were either rich or noble, or extremely intelligent.
There was still about a year before the imperial examination. Through Du Qingyu's relationship, Wei Ziang and Xu Jue entered the Imperial College, but they were not formal students and could only audit classes.
Du Qingyu's knowledge is no less than that of the teachers in the Imperial College. Du Qingyu's move is just to let them gain more knowledge and get to know more other students, so it is enough for them to just audit the class.
Tangli held Sanbao's hand and walked through a street market.
"Mrs. Wu." The shop owner saw Tang Li and greeted her with a smile.
Tangli often passes by this road, and the shop owners here all know her.
Tangli responded with a smile.
"Mrs. Wu, please settle the bill."
"And here I am."
"I have some here too."
“…”
Everyone took out the bill and handed it to Tangli, asking him to pay.
Tangli's smile froze on his face.
Tangli took the bills.
All kinds of food.
The restaurant bill was particularly large.
This brat really knows how to eat. In just one month, he ate up dozens of taels of her silver.
Tangli paid the bills one by one.
After paying the bill, she grabbed the shopkeeper who was most familiar to her and who had given the largest bill.
"Shopkeeper Li, is Yan Xiaoduan with you?" Tang Li asked.
