After listening to Tang's mother's words, Lin Zao expressed her understanding. She then looked at Aunt Ren standing to the side:
"I heard Brother Ren is back too. Why doesn't Aunt Ren spend more time with him?"
Aunt Ren smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern for my son and me, Madam. My son Tianci went to Miss Hua's residence today, saying he had something to give to Qianqian."
Aunt Ren had actually noticed that her son seemed to have a crush on Hua Nanxing. Yesterday, when she mentioned Miss Hua during their conversation, her son looked a little lost in thought.
Later, her son mentioned that he was going to visit his sister at Miss Hua's house and bring her some gifts, which made her suspicious.
After all, he didn't need to personally visit his sister's home to deliver things, since Miss Hua was the only mistress of the house.
No matter what, my son is still an outsider. There's no need to make a special trip to deliver something.
However, when she asked him tactfully, her son gave her an expression that said it was impossible, that he was not good enough for Miss Hua, and that he dared not even dream of her.
But she saw and remembered the hint of sadness in his eyes at that moment.
Seeing that her son refused to talk about the topic, she didn't say much and could only suppress her heartache.
Compared to Miss Hua's family background, their family was indeed not a good match, and their son's face was... well...
Regardless, she was still happy that her son had found someone he loved. She was just afraid that he would become consumed by hatred and one day leave her and Qianqian.
Therefore, she supported her son's visit to Miss Hua's residence, hoping that it would distract him from his hatred.
Who knows, maybe one day Miss Hua will become blind and take a fancy to her own foolish son.
That's why she smiled so happily when Lin Zao asked her questions.
Lin Zao didn't pay attention to Aunt Ren's thoughts, and she was even more unaware of Ren Tianci's romantic relationships, so she didn't think much of it.
Tang Jian did not return to the general's mansion until it was time for dinner.
In front of the children, Lin Zao and Tang's mother didn't feel comfortable asking him.
After dinner, the children went back to their own yards, and the three of them sat together again.
Knowing what his mother and wife wanted to know, Tang Jian didn't delay and told them what he had done to Old Man Tang's family.
It turned out that after leaving the Prince's mansion, he went directly to the estate where Old Man Tang and his family were being held.
When the family first saw him, they cried and confessed to him, but when they saw that he was unmoved, they started to act like elders again.
He also threatened Tang Jian that if he did not respect his father, he would go to the yamen to beat the drum and appeal, and sue him for being an unfilial son.
Unfortunately, Tang Jian didn't take Old Man Tang's words seriously.
The thought of his mother being abandoned by them, and how she would have died long ago if it weren't for his wife, filled him with hatred.
Of course, he wouldn't kill Old Man Tang. He wanted Old Man Tang to live the rest of his life in pain and regret, to live a life worse than a dog's. That would be the greatest punishment for him!
So he personally broke both of Old Man Tang's legs, returning the favor to his mother twofold.
Old Tang didn't even have time to scream before he fainted from the pain.
After all, in the past few days, Lin Zao had only sent them one coarse, hard-to-swallow cornbread each day, which had already left them half-starved.
Seeing that Tang Jian treated even his own father this way, Tang's elder brother and sister-in-law figured that his older brother, who was a stepbrother, would probably be even less lenient.
This fear and anxiety caused them to lose control of their bladders.
