Chapter 3234: Summarizing Experience and Lessons
Mrs. Tang gave him a sidelong glance, but didn't force him. After returning to the house and seeing the knife wound from the left chest to the waist and abdomen, she couldn't help but feel her eyes turn red again.
Lord Tang said hurriedly, "Don't look at its length, it's actually not deep. Although I didn't dodge when the knife came, I leaned back, so the wound wasn't deep, really!"
"If you don't believe me, go ask Zhou Man."
Mrs. Tang: "Then why does the memorial from Laizhou make you seem like you're seriously injured and can't recover?"
She didn't see the memorial, and didn't even know what was written on it, but she heard that Tang He was assassinated and seriously injured, and might not be able to recover.
Lord Tang paused for a moment and then said, "That was fake news we released to make the enemy relax."
Mrs. Tang glanced at him coldly, then stood up and left. "Be reasonable—"
Lord Tang shrank his neck and leaned against the bed, he knew it!
When Mingli saw Mrs. Tang, he felt like he had found his backbone. He couldn't help crying and told her everything that had happened during this period.
Madam Tang's expression became increasingly grim. "How dare you put poison on the knife? What a vicious mind you have."
Mingli nodded repeatedly, that's right, otherwise it was just a knife wound, why would Lord Tang be in such a critical condition?
Mrs. Tang turned back to the room and stood by the bed, staring at Tang He. Tang He could see that she was trying to be lucky, so he quietly moved his hand to his chest, covering it and said, "It hurts, it hurts——"
Mrs. Tang snorted, but reached out to help the man lie down, "Don't leave the house until your injury is healed."
"No, no, I definitely won't."
Let’s coax the person first.
Seeing that they had escaped danger, Lord Tang immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He then took her hand and asked, "You must be exhausted after traveling all the way here. Go eat and rest. Well, your husband will accompany you."
"You don't need to accompany me. Just lie down." Madam Tang stood up and left. Zheng was outside the courtyard gate. Seeing her, she smiled slightly and asked, "Have you seen Master Tang?"
Madam Tang bowed shyly and apologetically, "I apologize for disturbing you, Madam."
Zheng smiled nonchalantly and said, "It's nothing. Madam Tang must have been exhausted from the journey. I've asked the kitchen to prepare hot water and hot meals. You can wash up and rest first. Manbao and the others will be back from the yamen in about an hour."
Mrs. Tang agreed.
Zheng: "Then I won't bother you two. If you need anything, please tell the servants at home."
Mrs. Tang originally wanted to look for Zhou Man, but after thinking about it, she turned back.
Unable to bear the loneliness, Lord Tang, who was peeking at the door, got out of bed again and immediately turned around and lay back down on the bed.
Mrs. Tang rushed into the room, glanced at him and said, "Lie down quietly. I'll talk to Zhou Man first."
The maid who came with Madam Tang brought in the bag and helped Madam Tang bathe and wash her hair.
Lord Tang leaned back on the pillow and let out a long sigh, and couldn't help but touch his arms and ears.
Bai Shan and Zhou Man were both shocked to see Madam Tang when they returned from the yamen. Zhou Man then gave Madam Tang a thumbs up and said, "Xue's wife is awesome!"
Mrs. Tang stepped forward and took her hand, "Come on, let's talk aside."
Lord Tang watched them walk away, then turned and asked Bai Shan, "What's the situation in Laizhou now?"
Bai Shan glanced at him and said, "I thought you would ask me about the situation in the capital. Why is it that my sister-in-law is here and you are in a hurry to go to the public office?"
Lord Tang winked and hinted, "I'm almost ready, aren't I?"
"Whether it's good or not, my opinion doesn't count. It depends on the doctor's opinion."
Lord Tang found that the back door was blocked and he could only lie down.
Bai Shan comforted him, saying, "Sister-in-law is sensible. You are injured and won't do anything."
"You don't understand," Lord Tang said, "I'm not afraid of her taking action. I'm afraid she won't take action and will hold it in."
Bai Shan tilted his head, "We'll settle the score later?"
Lord Tang sighed.
As expected, Madam Tang didn't take action. After discussing his injuries with Zhou Man, she still took care of him gently, muttering a few words while doing so. "I think you've been slacking off. You were accompanied by so many officers and soldiers, yet you were still injured by an assassin? You used to be able to catch thieves yourself. When your injuries heal, you should start learning martial arts."
Lord Tang's back tightened, and his heart tightened a little. He whispered, "It's not that my kung fu is bad, but that the other party's kung fu is too good."
"Then you should practice better," Madam Tang said. "I think you've been slacking off. When we were handling the Jiangnan Salt Tax Case, many people wanted to kill you. The assassins were skilled, but they never succeeded."
"It's been less than three years, and you were killed by an assassin under the protection of so many officers and soldiers. It's clearly slackness."
Tang He: "I've been patrolling around all over the place. It's hard to practice martial arts without a fixed address."
"An excuse!" Madam Tang asked, "Is the courtyard of the post station not big enough, or is the open space outside not wide enough for the outdoor seating?"
She said, "As long as you have a sword in your hand, you can practice at any time. Boxing can also strengthen your body. Tell me, how long has it been since you last practiced martial arts?"
Lord Tang became increasingly weak and could not win the argument with her.
Mrs. Tang made it clear, "Start training for me as soon as your injury heals."
"Yes, yes, I'll listen to you, ma'am."
Because of this, Zhou Man sat cross-legged on the bed and stared at Bai Shan before going to sleep.
Bai Shan went in and out of the house three times. When he came back, he found that she was still staring at him. He couldn't help but feel nervous, "What's wrong?"
Zhou Man asked, "You know what I'm going to say, so you're deliberately avoiding me?"
Bai Shan immediately denied it: "No, I don't know."
Zhou Man waved at him, and after the waiter sat down beside the bed, he held him with both hands and said, "Today, Mrs. Tang and I reviewed the reasons for Mr. Tang's injury."
Bai Shan was confused. "Isn't it because we encountered an assassin?"
"No," Zhou Man said seriously, "That's just one of the reasons. As Mrs. Tang said, there are too many people in this world who wish him dead. Assassins often appear, but rarely succeed. The main reason the assassin succeeded this time was because of Brother Tang himself."
Bai Shan had a bad feeling, "What's the reason?"
Zhou Man said word by word, "Brother Tang has wasted his time."
Bai Shan sat cross-legged across from Zhou Man and asked hesitantly, "So?"
"I suddenly remembered that you've offended quite a few people. Although you seem to have rarely encountered assassins, you're still too young. When you reach Brother Tang's age, there might be more people who hate you than him, so you have to protect yourself."
Bai Shan nodded, "I will definitely protect myself, don't worry, ma'am, it's late, let's go to bed."
Zhou Man held him back and said, "Why are you so anxious? I haven't finished what I was saying yet."
She said, "I remember that you haven't been doing boxing or sword practice in the mornings lately."
Bai Shan: "...I took my elder sister for a walk in the garden."
"Let her go on her own from now on. You should focus on practicing sword and boxing. Keep up your skills and don't slack off like Brother Tang."
