After the wet nurse left, Tang Chen carefully read over the letter Qiu Liang had brought back. He had originally thought that Lin Qinghui and Zhou Xiao'e would be able to enlist the Zhou family's help this time, but who knew it would end like this? However, it wasn't completely a failure; at least they had reconciled with the Zhou family. After so many years of grudges, being able to reunite and put aside their grudges was the best possible outcome.
"Well, well, I can't force people to do anything. But what Uncle Lin said is a little strange."
Qiu Liang didn't say anything. He had never seen this thing, and Wang Nianqing and Wang Yanzhou didn't say that he could see it, so he couldn't give Tang Chen a specific analysis.
Just as Tang Chen finished speaking, Hong Yu came over with snacks. "What did you say? Tell me so I can analyze it for you."
Seeing Hong Yu coming, Tang Chen waved his hand and said, "You are here too. Come here quickly. Let me show you this."
After reading the contents of the letter, Hong Yu finally understood why she had heard her sighing outside just now. "...I'm afraid something big has happened in Qinghe County. I remember saying that everyone associated with the Qingliang Palace and the Liuxiang Tavern had been arrested. Why were only your family, the owner of the study, released?"
Tang Chen didn't have any particular doubts about this question. "As for Shopkeeper Liu, he has a wife, children, and grandchildren. It seems that he had to reach some kind of agreement with Tianshu Tower in order to protect his family. What I care about most is the message he asked Uncle Lin to convey, saying that no matter whether I know the person or not, I should not trust them easily. Could it be that a letter from an old friend or an old friend will arrive in a few days?"
Hong Yu said thoughtfully, "Don't you still have a lot of acquaintances in Qinghe County? Who knows, some of them might not be forced to do so by Manager Liu. In short, you should be more careful."
Tang Chen said that aside from some disappointing news, this letter actually felt more like a family letter. "Qinghe and the others are also preparing to come. They're taking the waterway, so they should be safe. I heard that the Canal Merchants Associations around Mingjiang have good relations with Master Zhang. Qinghe has been dealing with people on the water for years, so the Canal Merchants Associations in other places don't dare to take notice of her. This is good news."
The serious matters were almost finished. Qiu Liang, who had been standing quietly by the side, finally found an opportunity to express his dissatisfaction to Tang Chen: "Don't blame me for being talkative. How come these two children are so well-behaved in your place today? It's not fair that they torture me like that normally."
Tang Chen smiled and said, "Pfft, are you afraid of your mother? It's human nature to be afraid of your mother. If they make trouble at your place, you can just say a few words at most. But if they do it here, you might get beaten up."
Qiu Liang asked in surprise, "How could you have the heart to kill such a young child?"
Tang Chen said, "Of course, I just won't hit them casually. When the children grow up and start to be naughty, I will definitely not show mercy if they do something wrong. After beating them, I will tell them what to do right. The old people say that a child's character can be seen in his eighties by the age of three. I can't let them develop bad habits at such a young age."
Hong Yu said that when it comes to parenting, she actually has a lot of great truths to say: "Alright, alright, sometimes I really can't stand you mothers."
Tang Chen said happily, "You'll know when you become a mother."
Hong Yu raised her head and thought for a moment before bursting out laughing: "As a mother, I really can't imagine it."
Tang Chen combined his own experience with the stories he had seen and said, "Usually, the way your mother raised you is what you will, whether consciously or unconsciously, treat your children in a similar way."
Hong Yu scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "I don't have much impression of my mother. When I was little, many people took care of me, but she wasn't one of them."
Tang Chen was slightly stunned. Oh my god, did she accidentally say something sad? "I'm sorry, I didn't know. Well, let's not talk about this anymore, let's talk about something else, right Qiu Liang?"
Hong Yu looked at her nervous expression and slowly explained, "What are you thinking? It's not what you said. My parents are both in good health, but they just don't pay much attention to me."
To be honest, Tang Chen couldn't understand why parents ignored their children. If it were her, she would want to be with her beloved children every day. The Huangfu family was also a big family. Everyone said that the royal family was ruthless, and it seemed that big families like theirs were also like this: "Oh, poor child, come here, come here, I want to give you a mother's warm embrace!"
As she spoke, Tang Chen narrowed her eyes and opened her arms, waiting for Hong Yu to throw herself into her arms. Hong Yu threw the pillow into her arms and said with a smile: "Pfft, go away, hold your child!"
Qiu Liang said that at this time, he should quietly leave. The two women were having fun here, and he couldn't say or do anything. It felt like torture.
Why he stayed was a serious question worth pondering. Perhaps, possibly, it was because when he received the letter and returned, he found Princess Fenglai wandering around nearby, and he was afraid of being caught by her, so he preferred to watch the two women playing with pillows in this room.
...Compared to the extremely serious atmosphere in the capital due to the incident of the living dead, although the Qinghe County City is now guarded by the heavy imperial guards and all the large and small passages are blocked, the residents in the city can still live their lives as before, although many changes have subtly occurred.
Ever since getting help from Huangfu Zhong, Xiahou Qing's spirits have been getting better day by day. Not only can he finally have some free time to do things he likes on weekdays, he also feels in a better mood, and things go much more smoothly.
Xiahou Qing calculated the time and realized that the deadline he gave to Huangfu Zhong was approaching. He didn't know how his controllable army of the living dead was preparing.
When Xiahou Qing went to find Huangfu Zhong, he was observing the indescribable insects within the bronze tripod. Seeing Huangfu Zhong's preoccupied expression, Xiahou Qing tiptoed over, making some noise to signal his presence before saying, "Brother Huangfu, how's the progress on the task I asked you to do?"
Huangfu Zhong saw him coming and quickly put away the bronze tripod. He bowed his head and said, "Master Xiahou, don't worry. Give me three more days and the army you need will be ready."
