Chapter 44 Tang Bao Gets Rich
"Madam Shen, there will be a banquet in the palace later. You can bring Xiao Tangbao with you." The emperor said as he walked in the Yu Garden, holding Xiao Tangbao.
"I, your humble servant, thank you for your great grace." Qin Yunshuang bowed and said.
In the past, female relatives were invited to attend palace banquets, but I had no chance to go.
The reason I was able to attend the palace banquet this time was also because of Tang Bao.
Qin Yunshuang never thought that she would become more powerful because of her mother's status.
At this time, Concubine Yun Guifei took the little princess's hand and walked over here. She bowed and smiled sweetly, "May the emperor be blessed with good health."
The little princess Zhuzhu beside Concubine Yun also shouted in a baby voice, "May your father be blessed with good health."
"This is Madam Shen Qin from the Yongyi Marquis's residence." The emperor introduced, looking at the baby in his arms with a smile, "This one in my arms is the Yongyi Marquis's little daughter, my sweet baby."
"Hello, Madam Qin." Concubine Yun smiled calmly.
"This is my beloved concubine, Concubine Yun Gui." The emperor introduced Qin Yunshuang, "My little princess, Zhuzhu."
Qin Yunshuang: "Hello, Concubine Yun, hello, Princess Zhuzhu."
"There will be a palace banquet in a few days, and Madam Shen will also attend. Concubine Yun, you should accompany Madam Shen and talk more with her at that time, so that she won't be bored." The emperor said with a smile.
"Yes." Concubine Yun thought to herself, she had never seen the emperor be so considerate to anyone before.
Could it be that the Emperor has taken a fancy to Madam Shen? Otherwise, why would he be holding the child in Madam Shen's arms?
You have to know that the emperor didn't even hold his own children in these years. No matter whether it was a little princess or a little prince, none of them could catch the emperor's eye.
This Madam Shen does look quite pretty...
The more Concubine Yun thought about it, the more frightened she became. Not only did she have to be wary of the women in the palace, she also had to be wary of the women outside the palace.
No matter who it is, as long as they threaten her position, she will never forgive them!
…
Qin Yunshuang took Tang Bao back home.
The Qin family also received a cup of poisoned wine given by the emperor to Bai Shiyu - if Bai Shi was not Qin Yuntian's first wife, he would not have allowed her to die so dignifiedly.
“No… I don’t want to drink… Yuntian, please save me… please save me…” Bai cried and struggled.
"Bai, are you going to disobey my order?" Old Master Qin glared at her, his face livid. "Someone, arrest Bai for me!"
Several maids stepped forward quickly and held down Bai, who was struggling desperately.
Qin Yuntian picked up the cup of poisoned wine and walked in front of Bai.
"Yuntian, it's all my fault... Can you please..." Before Bai could finish her words, Qin Yuntian no longer had the patience to listen. He pinched Bai's chin with his big hand and forced her to open her mouth. In Bai's horrified and shocked eyes, Qin Yuntian slammed the cup of poisoned wine into her mouth!
Only after there was not a drop of poison left in the cup did Qin Yuntian let go of Bai.
"Cough... cough cough..." Bai coughed violently, her face turned red, and the fishy poison slid down her throat. She covered her throat and tried desperately to spit out the poison, but it was no use.
When Eunuch Liu saw that the poison had been drunk, he felt that his mission was completed and stood up and left.
Qin Yuntian was too lazy to look at Bai, who was lying limply on the ground. There was only disgust in his eyes.
"Throw her out onto the street," Qin Yuntian's eyes were filled with chilling coldness, "before she dirtys the grounds of our Qin family!"
"yes!"
Afterwards, several servants quickly stepped forward, dragged Bai out, and threw her far away onto the street outside General Zhenguo's Mansion.
Half an hour later, Bai's poison took effect and he died of suffocation. Qi Liao bled to death in a miserable way.
On the street, people were talking about it.
"Who is this? How did he die so tragically?"
"From the looks of it... she seems to be the daughter-in-law of the general's mansion in Zhenguo, General Qin's first wife, Bai!"
"What happened to him? Why did he die on the street?"
Qin Yuntian walked to the street and faced the crowd. He spoke word by word, with loud noises on the ground, "The Bai family has embezzled a lot of silver in the name of our Zhenguo General's Office over the years, and even dared to touch the money for disaster relief. Now, all this silver has been confiscated and given to the national treasury, and the money for disaster relief has also been returned. Our Zhenguo General's Office will take out 20,000 taels of silver to build dams and bridges to benefit the people."
"The emperor has also ordered the Bai family to be given poisoned wine. From now on, our Zhenguo General's Office is willing to accept the supervision of the people. I, Qin Yuntian, am determined to be a good official who benefits the people and the country!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was thunderous applause from all around.
"General Qin killed his own relatives for the sake of justice. He is a good official!"
"Today I saw General Qin come to the palace to apologize, and it turned out to be because of this!"
"Having General Qin and the Qin family is a blessing for us ordinary people!"
After this incident, the Qin family gained even greater prestige among the people.
When Qin Yunshuang returned to the Qin family from the palace with little Tangbao in her arms, she heard many people praising the Qin family and talking about it with great relish on the way.
She breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately this incident did not affect the Qin family.
It is also thanks to Xiao Tangbao that we have been able to escape danger time and time again.
Qin family.
"Yun Shuang, this time it's all thanks to you. If it weren't for you, our Qin family would be in trouble. I have been honest all my life, but now I have lost my integrity in my later years." Old Master Qin smiled bitterly and took out a thick stack of silver. "Here is 100,000 taels of gold. Take it."
"Dad, I'm your daughter, why are you giving me money? Besides, our mansion is not short of money."
[One hundred thousand taels of gold! Mother, it would be a waste if you don't accept it. Why don't you accept it quickly!]
[It’s a lot of money! Mom, you don’t want it, but I want it! This is really a case of a full man not knowing the hunger of a hungry man! ]
[Mother, if you don’t accept this money, I will be sad...]
Qin Yunshuang: ...
How could she forget about Tang Bao, the little money-grubber?
"I know you don't need money. It's your business, but I can't not give it to you." Old Master Qin stuffed the money into Qin Yunshuang's hand. "If it weren't for you, our whole house would have been confiscated. This 100,000 taels is nothing. Just accept it and think of it as pocket money from your grandfather to little Tangbao."
[Mom! Did you hear that? These are all mine!]
[My little money! Mother, you can’t cut off my financial resources! 】
[It would be nice if I could talk. I can’t talk, so I can only stare and howl in anxiety…]
The little Tangbao in Qin Yunshuang's arms stared anxiously. Her dark and clear eyes were fixed on the banknotes given by the old man. She stretched out her white and soft hands to grab them.
The little girl actually grabbed the money. Her hands were too small to hold it with one hand, so she simply held the pile of silver with both hands and stuffed it into her pocket with great effort and a bit clumsiness.
Old Master Qin was amused by the money-obsessed look of the little girl, and his white beard trembled with laughter. "Yun Shuang, your daughter is a little money-obsessed girl."
"He's a little kid with a lot of smarts."
Qin Yunshuang was also a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."
Qin Yunshuang took the money and said, "Mom will keep it for you. I will give it to you as pocket money when you grow up."
[Mother, please don’t look at me and lie to me. ]
[These are all mine, mother, you can't cheat children out of their money. ]
【I’m rich, I’m rich! 】
Qin Yunshuang was helpless, she was not the kind of person who would cheat a child out of his money.
Mr. Qin accompanied Mrs. Qin on her sickbed. He sighed, "It's all my fault. I didn't realize Bai's true face sooner, causing my wife to suffer so much..."
"I've consulted so many doctors over the years, but none of them could help. Am I really just going to have to watch your mother suffer like this..." Old Master Qin sighed.
[Grandpa, don't be sad! Tangtang has a solution! ]
