Chapter 269 If she wants it, what's wrong with giving her my head?
Lord Lan's expression hardened. He disliked Tang Bugui, even though this man would become his son-in-law.
"No matter what, she is my mother..."
Lord Lan took a deep breath, his eyes filled with a hint of coldness.
After saying this, Lord Lan was about to go inside.
He was worried about his son and originally didn't want to come out, but the commotion outside was too great, so he had no choice but to come out.
"Really? That's not necessarily true..." Tang Bugui raised an eyebrow and murmured.
Lord Lan didn't hear clearly; his mind was only on his son.
"General, the poison in Lanfeng is rather strange... It's from the barbarian tribes. We drove back the southern barbarians last time, so they shouldn't be back so quickly!"
Ling, the bodyguard, proved to be very useful in crucial moments, and he was also quite intelligent.
Tang Bugui raised an eyebrow, a hint of coldness in his eyes. He was the God of War of the Great Shang Kingdom!
Moreover, he was the living God of War of the Great Shang Kingdom; even the southern barbarians trembled at the mere mention of his name…
This time, however, he came to scheme against his own brother-in-law...
"Go and investigate what exactly happened..." Tang Bugui said to Guard Ling.
"Yes, this subordinate will go immediately..."
Guard Ling smiled, turned around and left, taking the steward with him.
Tang Bugui coughed lightly, sensing something, and covered his lips with a handkerchief.
A trickle of blood flowed from the corner of his lips, which was seen by several servants.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Xiao Su Bao lay on the bed with a furrowed brow and a deathly pale face.
"What's wrong with my daughter?" Madam Qian asked anxiously, holding her baby, and looking up at Doctor Song.
"Junior Sister's health is fine... she's been taking good care of herself lately."
Doctor Song put Xiao Su Bao's hand back under the blanket, but his brows still couldn't relax.
"Then what's wrong with her?"
Looking at Xiao Su Bao, who was covered in cold sweat, Qian felt heartbroken and tears were about to fall.
"Mommy... Su Bao... Su Bao is alright..." Little Su Bao raised her head, her big eyes were watery, making people feel sorry for her.
"Don't be sad, Mom!" Little Su Bao said softly in her baby voice when she saw Qian Shi's face.
Madam Qian raised her hand and touched her cheek, her voice gentle: "Mother is not sad, Mother just feels sorry for our Su Bao..."
Little Su Bao pursed her lips and rubbed her little head against Qian Shi's chest.
The warm embrace brought a smile to the little dumpling's lips.
The discomfort in my chest has eased considerably...
My uncle should... should be alright, right...?
Xiao Su Bao pursed her lips, deciding to stop thinking about it, because there was nothing she could do to change it.
When Madam Qian saw that the little dumpling's health had indeed improved, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Thinking of something, Madam Qian said, "Our village school will open in June. How about Little Su Bao goes to study together then?"
The little dumpling's eyes lit up instantly, and her little hands instinctively gripped Qian's clothes tightly.
Can she go to school like Lan Xin'er and the others?
All the children of the Lan family could go to the Lan family school, but she couldn't, because she wasn't a girl from the Lan family.
Now that she has the opportunity to go to school, the little dumpling is happier than ever.
Because my mother once said that only through studying can one gain wisdom and avoid living a muddled and aimless life...
"Su Bao wants to study. Uncle said that if you study well, you can become a prime minister. Su Bao wants to be a prime minister!" Little Su Bao said happily.
Tang Yu had just entered when she heard what the little girl said, and she stumbled and almost fell over.
"Ahem, Su Bao, a woman..."
He wanted to say that a woman could not be a prime minister, but looking at Xiao Su Bao's appearance, he stopped himself from saying it.
The child is still young; we'll tell her when she's a little older.
"Then you must study hard so that there will be all sorts of possibilities in the future!" Tang Yu coughed lightly and walked to the bedside.
Seeing that Xiao Su Bao had calmed down, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"If Xiao Su Bao is alright, would you like to go with your uncle to visit our village school next door?" Tang Yu asked with a smile.
As Tang Yu spoke, she secretly glanced at Qian Shi beside her, her old face slightly flushed.
"Ahem, well, Duoduo, why don't you come and take a look too..." His voice even had a rare hint of shyness.
Qian shuddered and glared at Tang Yu with annoyance.
This guy doesn't even call his younger brother's wife anymore...
However, thinking of what she and he had agreed on before, Madam Qian sighed inwardly, looking at her elder brother and not knowing what to say.
"Okay...okay..."
Tang Yu put her hands behind her back and nervously gripped her sleeves.
Looking into the soft, round eyes of the little baby in her arms, Madam Qian could only nod.
"Okay, let's go take a look first!"
As soon as Qian finished speaking, Tang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile on her face became much wider.
He rushed forward, reached out and picked up Xiao Su Bao, and subconsciously wanted to hold Qian Shi's hand.
However, Qian Shi dodged it directly and slapped his hand away.
"Let's go!" Madam Qian glared at Tang Yu, got up, and walked out first.
Little Su Bao hugged her uncle's neck, then couldn't help but glance at her mother in front of her.
The faint red thread between the two swayed...
"Little sister, what are you looking at?" Tang Si couldn't help but look at his little sister with curiosity.
Little Su Bao opened her mouth to say "red thread," but for some reason, the words just wouldn't come out.
The little dumpling knew that this was something she couldn't say out loud; she had encountered similar situations before.
"It's nothing..." Xiao Su Bao blinked and said somewhat guiltily.
Tang Si was taken aback, but seeing that the little dumpling was unwilling to talk, he did not press for details.
The group walked to the village school next door.
After nearly a month of construction, the place has taken shape and everything inside is almost ready.
The villagers all contributed money or labor.
Because the county magistrate later gave the village a lot of silver, after distributing a portion to each household, the rest of the silver was kept by Tang Cheng for public use.
This money also served as the initial capital for their Tang Family Academy.
Yun Qi was tidying up when she saw Tang Yu and the others coming over, and immediately smiled.
Standing next to him was Xiao Mobao, the little guy holding a calligraphy brush and carefully copying something stroke by stroke.
"You've arrived?" Yun Qi smiled as she stood up and walked to Tang Yu's side.
"Little Su Bao doesn't look too well. Come here and let Mr. Yun give you a hug!" Yun Qi squinted, a hint of a smile in his narrow eyes.
Tang Yu didn't want to give the little baby to him and was about to speak when she heard Yun Qi's soft voice.
"Mr. Tang, why don't you take Mrs. Qian to the back and take a look at the classrooms?"
Tang Yu blushed and quickly stuffed the little baby into Yun Qi's arms.
"You take good care of Xiaosubao, I'll take Duoduo to check on the classroom..."
Tang Yu will temporarily serve as the teacher in the village school. Once he goes to take the exam, the village will find someone else to replace him.
As for Tang Si, he now studies here and also teaches other children in the village in his spare time.
Overall, Tangjia Village is developing in a positive direction.
"Mo Bao's calligraphy is so beautiful!" Little Su Bao exclaimed, her eyes wide with admiration.
Although she knew only a limited number of characters, she had secretly seen the handwriting of other members of the Lan family, and they were all ugly, not as beautiful as Xiao Mobao's.
"Um... thank you..."
Xiao Mobao's cheeks flushed slightly as she raised her brush and looked at Xiao Subao.
“I… will teach you to write…” Little Ink Treasure said with effort.
Little Su Bao's eyes lit up immediately, and she nodded.
Yun Qi hadn't had enough of holding her when Xiao Su Bao struggled free from his embrace.
His face was full of helplessness...
Xiao Su Bao stood next to Mo Bao. She was tiny and looked more than a head shorter than Mo Bao.
But the little girl was extremely beautiful, with red lips, white teeth, and curved eyebrows, exuding a gentle and graceful aura.
The two stood in front of the desk, sunlight streaming in, casting dappled shadows...
Yun Qi was stunned for a moment, and in a daze, she seemed to see her elder brother and sister-in-law...
His nose suddenly felt a little sore, but he held it in!
Little Su Bao vaguely sensed something, and she looked up at Yun Qi.
Yun Qi felt Xiao Su Bao's gaze and smiled.
"What's wrong? Is there a word you don't recognize? If you don't recognize it, just ask Mo Bao, he knows it all!" Yun Qi said irresponsibly, dumping all the responsibility on her nephew.
Xiao Su Bao shook her head, her voice somewhat low: "Mr. Yun seems unhappy?"
Yun Qi was taken aback, looked at Xiao Su Bao, and reached out to pat her head.
"Does Master miss Mother too?" Little Su Bao asked in a childish voice, pursing her lips.
"Mother?" He looked at the baby and immediately realized.
“My mother died a long time ago, I’ve never even met her!” Yun Qi said with a smile, reaching out to touch Xiao Su Bao’s hair.
Yun Qi and Mo Bao's fathers are brothers, and their mother ran away when they were still young.
Their father died, and Mo Bao's father raised Yun Qi as his son. Later, when he was quite old, he got married and had a son...
Thinking of this, Yun Qi felt a pain in her chest...
Little Su Bao looked at Yun Qi and thought that he also missed his mother.
The little dumpling walked up to Yun Qi and took his hand in hers.
Her voice was soft and warm as she said, "Don't be afraid, sir. She will definitely become a star to protect you, just like Su Bao's mother. If you miss her, we can see her tonight..."
Yun Qi felt a warmth in her heart as she listened to Xiao Su Bao's comforting words, and her eyes also showed a touch of tenderness.
"Okay, sir, I'll remember!" He patted Xiao Su Bao's head, his eyes filled with tenderness.
"Su Bao..." At that moment, a voice came from the doorway.
Zhao Yun's health had improved considerably, and he looked at Xiao Su Bao with a smile in his eyes.
"Brother Zhao Yun!" Little Su Bao's eyes lit up, and she immediately ran over.
Brother Zhao Yun was one of the few people who showed her kindness, and she remembered that clearly!
Zhao Yun looked at Xiao Su Bao with a smile on his lips, while glancing at Mo Bao out of the corner of his eye.
Mo Bao seemed to sense Zhao Yun's gaze and looked up.
But Zhao Yun had already turned his gaze away and was looking at Xiao Su Bao with tenderness.
He reached out and ruffled Xiao Su Bao's hair, smiling as he said, "Su Bao seems to have grown taller!"
Little Su Bao nodded, looking a little embarrassed.
“Brother Zhao Yun has grown taller too…” Little Su Bao finished speaking, then suddenly remembered something and grabbed Zhao Yun’s head.
"Give me a pat on the head..." Little Su Bao said, already reaching out to touch his head.
Zhao Yun had no choice but to lower his head.
His shaved hair had just grown back, making him look like a little monk.
“Yes… take a look…” Mo Bao frowned and walked up to the two of them, correcting Xiao Su Bao.
The little dumpling scratched its head, looking a bit embarrassed.
Zhao Yun lowered his head, but his eyes were filled with doting affection.
"It doesn't matter, as long as she wants it, what's wrong with giving her my head!"
After Zhao Yun finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Mobao, a strange look deep in his eyes.
This time, he's determined to win over Little Su Bao first...
"No, no, Su Bao doesn't want her head!" Little Su Bao cried out, waving her hands in fright.
