Chapter 280 If everyone in the world knew he was afraid of his wife, would he still be fit to be emperor?
Tang Bugui's eyes lit up when he saw the food!
He dreamed of his daughter, Xiao Su Bao. He wanted to find his daughter, and he needed to live, because only by living could he see her.
Guard Ling quickly brought over a table and had his general sit on the bed to eat.
Tang Bugui glanced at the Emperor and Empress, thought for a moment, and then said, "Your Majesty and Your Highness, would you like some food? Our cooks are quite good!"
The emperor was about to agree when the empress glared at him and said, "No need. We can eat back in the palace. You can eat by yourself."
The emperor was sullen...
I'm definitely going to be hungry again soon!
That wretched wife of his, he'll get her sooner or later...
We need to show her how powerful the emperor is!
If everyone in the world knew he was afraid of his wife, wouldn't this emperor have no shame?
"What is Your Majesty thinking about? Why are you so serious?" The Empress seemed to sense something, turned her head to look at the Emperor, and asked with a slight chill in her voice.
"Ahem, Zitong, you're overthinking it. I didn't think anything... really!" The emperor looked at his wife seriously with a stern face, not daring to tell the truth.
His empress is different from other people's!
Tang Bugui didn't stand on ceremony. He was extremely hungry, and he felt much better than he had been a few days ago, perhaps because of his meditation.
He held chopsticks and a bowl, then proceeded to show off...
He quickly finished a bowl of rice bigger than his head, then another bowl of rice and half a bowl of meat were added before he was done.
The emperor's lips twitched as he watched Tang Bugui's elegant eating posture.
After the meal was finished, the emperor rubbed his stomach, then looked at Tang Bugui's belly...
Despite eating so much food, his stomach didn't bulge out much and still looked quite flat.
"I'm sorry for making Your Majesty and the Empress laugh!" Tang Bugui wiped his mouth clean, and looked much more energetic.
The Empress breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes filled with doting affection.
"Tomorrow is your wedding day, and His Majesty says he has something he wants to give you..." The Empress finished speaking and glanced at the Emperor.
emperor……
My heart aches so much, my wife doesn't love me anymore...
That jerk who tried to steal my wife is so annoying!
He decided to hate Tang Bugui within three breaths...
"This was given to me by the Imperial Advisor years ago, who instructed me to give it to you the day before your wedding!" The Emperor took out half of the jade pendant and handed it to him...
Tang Bugui looked over and was slightly taken aback; this jade pendant belonged to Tang's ancestors.
It was just that it was split in two back then...
"You should know this thing too, it belongs to your Tang family..." The Empress looked at Tang Bugui, her eyes filled with sorrow.
She also has the surname Tang, but they are not related by blood!
Tang Bugui pursed his lips and looked at the Emperor and Empress.
"This humble general thanks Your Majesty and Your Majesty the Empress..." Tang Bugui pursed his lips and clasped his hands in a gesture of respect.
"Alright, you brat..." the emperor said irritably.
Thinking of something, he patted Tang Bugui on the shoulder, much like an old father watching his son get married soon.
"You're getting married soon, so be more careful in your actions from now on, okay..." The emperor said, a sigh escaping his lips.
What kind of crazy person would want to marry a dead person...?
If he hadn't known this kid's personality, he might have sent him a princess...
"Understood, Your subordinate!" Tang Bugui's cheeks flushed slightly, his eyes filled with anticipation.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Madam Lan was in a very bad mood!
A magnificent wedding procession stretching for miles!
His Majesty has given the imperial decree; even if she can't produce it herself, she has to find a way...
The Lan family cannot disobey the imperial decree, and Lord Lan said that if they fail to gather the necessary items and dare to outwardly comply but inwardly defy it, he will be the first to go to His Majesty's side!
This left Madam Lan utterly exhausted; in the past, there was also Old Madam Lan…
But now...
These past few days, Madam Lan has been able to visit her parents' home, intending to retrieve some of the things she had given to her parents and sister-in-law.
Unexpectedly, she was kicked out by her family.
Thinking of this, Madam Lan's face turned even uglier!
"Madam, your dowry is still three loads short. I wonder how your preparations are going?" A maid walked in with a slight smile on her face.
This person was originally Lin Xi's personal maid, but later became a lowly servant. When Lan Feng left the Lan family, he took this servant with him.
Unexpectedly, Lan Feng sent her over this time, saying that he wanted to prepare a dowry for his younger sister.
And Lord Lan showed absolutely no consideration for her...
“We’ve prepared everything we could at home… the rest…” Madam Lan gritted her teeth, her face extremely gloomy.
A dead man, daring to covet their family's possessions...
If it weren't for the imperial decree, she really wouldn't have given a single penny!
“Madam… When our daughter married her husband, she brought a hundred-mile-long procession of red bridal attire. Surely the prestigious Lan family wouldn’t embezzle our daughter’s dowry…”
Granny Lin smiled slightly, her eyes filled with a hint of mockery and satisfaction.
She has waited all these years, and these days are the happiest she has ever been!
Seeing this woman exhausted every day makes me happier than anything else!
She stole her daughter's place, and all of this will be her retribution.
With a loud slap, Madam Lan slammed her hand on the table, her face extremely gloomy.
"You...you lackey, what nonsense are you spouting? What did we embezzle? Lin Xi was frail back then, how much money did we spend on medicine? And Lan Shuyu, she was sickly too..."
Madam Lan stared at Granny Lin with a cold face, her fists clenched, wishing she could give this servant a good beating...
However, she dared not, at least not now!
She narrowed her eyes, a cold glint in them. Once this bastard's marriage was over, she would definitely...
As she was thinking this, Granny Lin spoke again.
"Oh...so, my daughter is marrying Lord Lan and she's even using her own savings for medical treatment..."
"I'm so happy," said Granny Lin with a smile. Seeing Madam Lan's expression, Granny Lin became even happier.
Lin Mama smiled, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes smoothed out a bit before she continued to speak.
"Besides, Miss is still a member of the Lan family. Does the Lan family have no money left? Are they living off our young lady's dowry?"
As Lin Mama spoke, she caught a glimpse of a figure approaching from a distance.
She stepped forward and blocked Madam Lan's path.
"You'll be a stepmother until the day you die, your status illegitimate and your words meaningless. You'll always be a lowly girl who climbed into someone else's bed..."
Granny Lin spoke in a low voice, her eyes filled with intense hatred.
Madam Lan was ruthless to begin with, and upon hearing these words, she could no longer hold back...
He raised his hand and slapped Granny Lin across the face!
"How dare you! What kind of servant are you, to dare speak such words in front of me? You've gone too far!" Madam Lan shouted, her face dark.
