Chapter 451 How can playing with sticky things be described in such a refined and elegant way?
We need to act well in this play; otherwise, people will doubt our abilities.
Di Jingling stood in the room listening to Xiao Tang's innermost thoughts and smiled helplessly.
After a moment of silence, he slowly caught up with them.
He only cares about Xiao Tang.
He only cares about her.
Xiao Tang was dragged away by the little bald guy, and couldn't help but look back. Just then, she saw Di Jingling following them.
She glared at him, using her expression to remind him not to follow.
If two people walk together, it's easy to arouse suspicion.
Especially Yan Ruyu, that girl isn't usually very clear-headed, what if...
Di Jingling slowly stopped walking.
Xiao Tang gave him a thumbs up, clearly satisfied.
However, this action did not satisfy Di Jingling, and even made him narrow his eyes.
He turned his gaze away, pretending not to see.
Xiao Tang smiled and followed the little bald man's lead to the woodshed in the backyard.
The woodshed was tightly closed, with three locks on top, securing the door firmly.
Xiao Tang sensed something was wrong and turned to the bald boy, "Are you sure..."
Is this guy trying to scam her?
If the door is forcibly opened, it will be easy for someone to see us.
Although the King of Jiangnan seemed rather dim-witted, he was a ruthless character.
Even if it's not shown...
Xiao Tang stared at the bald boy in front of her, her eyes gradually turning hostile.
Faced with her questioning gaze, the little bald boy said in a childish voice, "It really is inside, my stepmother."
"And what about your real mother?"
"My dear mother..." The little bald man's eyes dimmed as he thought of something. He lowered his head in disappointment and murmured softly, "My dear mother... she died a long time ago. My bad father always says that my mother is dead."
This means we shouldn't let him have any illusions.
After all, once the mother dies, the child naturally won't ask about these details.
Xiao Tang's eyes flickered slightly, and she touched the child's head with a sigh.
"Do you know that your stepmother doesn't like your father either?"
“Yes,” the bald boy nodded, “If you save her, she’ll be alright, won’t she?”
“If we save her, she'll have another stepmother.”
Xiao Tang was both amused and exasperated upon hearing the child's words.
What a logical little kid!
Xiao Tang patted the child's shoulder, "Let me think of a way..."
"Young Master!" Suddenly, several guards surrounded them and stopped them.
One of the guards pulled Xiao Tang away first, saying, "Don't you dare try to bewitch our young master, or we will not let you off!"
Hearing the guards' aggressive cursing, Xiao Tang turned to look at the child.
The child wanted to protect someone, so he rushed in front of Xiao Tang in a protective posture and stopped the guards.
"You're not allowed to touch my grandma, or I'll beat you up!"
The guards dared not lay a hand on the little bald boy, but they would still pull him away. Although their movements were not gentle, they would not hurt him.
After they pulled the people away, the guards surrounded Xiao Tang.
"Old woman, don't come near here if you want to live peacefully in our Prince's mansion!"
Xiao Tang pretended to tremble with fear, nodded slightly, and hurriedly left.
"Yes, yes, my heroes, please don't be angry. I'll be leaving now, I'll be leaving now."
Seeing how cowardly the old woman was, the guards didn't take it to heart.
The guards instinctively assumed that the old woman was frightened and timid.
The reason I ventured here was entirely because the young master brought me here.
This isn't the first person to be taken to the woodshed in the backyard, and it certainly won't be the last.
The young master would always urge them to release the person.
Ultimately, it's just the innocent thoughts of a child.
Xiao Tang returned to her room and saw Di Jingling sitting in his seat, slowly turning the pages of a book.
For a moment, Xiao Tang felt a little depressed.
He paused in his book-flipping motion, looked up at her, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"He was locked up and tied up in the woodshed in the backyard."
She walked over and sat down next to him, looking sullen.
Di Jingling turned to look at her, narrowing her eyes. "Are you sure you're inside?"
"There can't be any mistake, right?"
Judging from the little bald boy's resolute expression, it would be strange if she weren't his stepmother.
But she still found it strange; judging from the little bald boy's actions, it didn't seem like the first time.
He probably calls people over frequently to rescue his stepmother...
This is truly the first time I've ever seen such bizarre behavior.
Di Jingling beckoned to her, inviting her to sit down beside him.
Xiao Tang came to his side, looking sullen.
The moment the person sat down, he immediately grabbed their legs.
Xiao Tang asked, puzzled, "Why did you carry me up here?"
"Let's think of a way together, of course we should stick them together."
[...You're amazing to be able to describe playing with stickers in such a refined and elegant way.]
Xiao Tang wanted to give him a thumbs up.
Thankfully, he was just saying it and didn't take any further steps.
"What's next? How do you plan to deal with this King of Jiangnan?"
"What do you think of this man?" Di Jingling asked.
Although he didn't want to hear his wife's opinions about other women, he was certain that this woman was only good at belittling others.
As expected, Xiao Tang looked disgusted whenever this person was mentioned.
"What do you think of this man? He doesn't seem like much. He doesn't look like the kind of guy who would be cunning. He doesn't seem like the type to start a rebellion at all."
