Zhao Ting walked up to the men in black and took off the mask of one of them.
Zhao Ting held the knife to the man's neck and asked, "Who sent you here?"
The man stiffened his neck and said nothing.
Zhao Ting's men used force to cut his flesh and asked fiercely, "Tell me or not?!"
The man still didn't say anything, but he did have some backbone.
"I'll ask him." Tang Li said.
Zhao Ting immediately calmed down and looked at Tang Li respectfully: "Ask."
Tang Li looked at the man: "Who sent you? Was it Bai Xuyang, or..."
When Tangli mentioned "Bai Xuyang", the man glanced at Tangli, and after just one glance, he couldn't look away. He felt like he fell into a whirlpool, and his head was dizzy.
"Yes...Mrs. Ding." The man said uncontrollably.
"Mrs. Ding?!" Zhao Ting frowned.
Tang Li knew who this Mrs. Ding was. She was her brother Bai Muyang's stepmother, Mrs. Ding.
Tang Li heard her brother talk about the past and knew about the grievances and entanglements of the Bai family.
Back then, the Guo and Bai families were a perfect match, and the marriage between the two families formed a harmonious alliance. Guo's daughter, a strong woman, was inevitably caught in the whirlpool of love. For Mr. Bai, she was willing to give up her career and stay at home to take care of her husband and children.
However, she never expected her husband's love for her to be fake. In fact, he had been secretly hiding someone else, and that person was Ding. Moreover, Ding actually had a son who was not much younger than her son!
Guo was deeply shocked and depressed, and she committed suicide by jumping into a well.
Mr. Bai did not feel the slightest bit guilty about Mrs. Guo's death. On the contrary, he happily carried Mrs. Ding into the house.
Ding became the mistress of the Bai family, acting one way and another. She felt that Bai Muyang was blocking her son's path, so she secretly drugged him...
How vicious is this Ding!
However, in the original novel, Bai Muyang, who was supposed to inherit the Bai family, died young, and the vicious Ding mother and son took control of the Bai family and became the richest man in Da Zhou!
There is no justice at all!
Fortunately, Tangli appeared, saved Bai Muyang, and changed Bai Muyang's fate.
Bai Muyang recovered and returned to the capital, where he fought against the Ding mother and son, vowing to take back everything that belonged to him.
Everything is going in the right direction.
The last time Tangli went to the Bai family, she found that her brother had a lot of say in the Bai family.
Especially the iron ore business, which gave her brother enough confidence.
It seems that the Ding family was unwilling to be suppressed, so they made trouble and tried to rob the goods.
This batch of goods was for the imperial court. If the goods were robbed, Bai Muyang would not be able to report to the court and offend the court. At the very least, he would lose a batch of iron ore, and at worst, it would affect his cooperation with the court.
Obviously, in the dream, this was the worst possible outcome. This incident affected his cooperation with the court, and Ding and Bai Muyang had a chance to win back a city!
Tangli sorted out the cause and effect of the matter.
Fortunately, I encountered him and prevented Ding from succeeding!
Otherwise her brother would be in real trouble!
After a short rest, everyone continued on their journey.
Among the group of men in black, there were still five people alive, so Zhao Ting tied them up and took them away.
Tang Li and Wei Qing's carriages were in front, and the caravan was behind, and everyone was moving forward in a mighty procession.
It was not until dark that they arrived at the small town that Zhao Ting had mentioned.
Tang Li and Wei Qing had no plans to stay overnight as they had to hurry on their way.
However, Tangli was a little worried about Zhao Ting and the others...
"Miss, don't worry. The county town is two days' journey from here. I will go directly to the government to report the case and ask for help. With the government around, it will be absolutely safe." Zhao Ting said.
Tang Li finally felt relieved and nodded.
"Zhao Ting, warn your men not to tell anyone about what happened here between me and my husband." Tang Li instructed.
"Don't worry, miss. We are all brothers and we keep our mouths shut," said Zhao Ting.
Tangli nodded: "We will continue on our way, be careful."
"Miss, be careful."
Tangli jumped onto the carriage and was pulled in by a hand.
The next moment, she fell into someone's arms and was held by her man.
"Set off."
The driver waved the reins, and the carriage set off, disappearing into the night.
After more than half a month of non-stop travel, Wei Qing and Tang Li finally returned to the capital.
The two of them had been in the carriage for the past half month and had not slept well.
After the two returned to the Marquis' Mansion, they ignored everything, took a shower, and crawled into bed, ready to have a good sleep.
Tangli fell asleep quickly, with his eyes closed and breathing steadily. He looked well-behaved even in his sleep.
Wei Qing kissed her on the forehead, then put his arms around her waist, pulled her into his arms, closed his eyes, and fell asleep as well.
I slept until the next morning.
When Tangli woke up, he found that the seat next to him was empty.
I guess her husband went to the Ministry of Justice early in the morning.
There are things that have been piling up for a month waiting for him to deal with.
Tang Li climbed up from the bed, feeling relaxed all over. After washing up, he had breakfast.
While eating breakfast, a small figure rushed in, bumped into Tang Li, and hugged her tightly.
"Mom, I miss you so much~" Sanbao said, and he stood on tiptoe and rubbed his face against Tangli's face.
Tangli held the person in his arms and let her sit on his lap.
"Have you been good while mom is away?" Tang Li asked.
Sanbao nodded his little head and counted on his fingers: "Be good, play chess with grandpa every day, massage grandma's legs, and share my favorite osmanthus cake with my third uncle."
"So good."
Sanbao was praised and smiled, "Mom, you eat first."
Tangli ate breakfast while feeding Sanbao a few mouthfuls, and the mother and daughter stayed close together.
After breakfast, Tangli took Sanbao's hand, went out of the yard, and went to see Madam Wu and Lord Wu first.
After meeting them, he prepared to go to the general's mansion.
As a result, before I even went out, I saw a familiar figure.
"Third brother." Tang Li called.
Gu Huaijin also saw Tangli, his eyes lit up, and he walked over quickly.
"younger sister."
"What a coincidence?" Tang Li said.
She just came back last night without telling anyone, and ran into her third brother as soon as he arrived.
"It's no coincidence that my third uncle comes here every day~" Sanbao said in a long voice.
Gu Huaijin's gaze fell on Sanbao. He bent down and pinched her tender little face.
"Little clever ghost!"
Sanbao hummed twice.
Gu Huaijin looked at Tang Li. To be honest, he really missed his sister during this period.
My sister finally found her way back to the Gu family, but the Gu family didn't pamper her well. As a result, she left the capital for something and couldn't tell anyone else.
He was now a playboy with nothing to do, so he would come to the Marquis's Mansion every day to see if his sister had returned.
In fact, not only her, but the entire Gu family is thinking about her sister. Every time he comes back from the Marquis' Mansion, his mother always asks him a few questions.
Gu Huaijin had been unsuccessful for the past month, so he was naturally happy to see his sister today.
"Let's go to the general's mansion. Mother talks about you every day." Gu Huaijin said.
"Yeah, I miss mom too."
The three of them walked towards the door, but just as they walked out the door, they saw another acquaintance.
