Chapter 304 Then I will grant your wish and send you to the biggest brothel in An County.
Lin Xi'er was taken aback, and immediately thought of brothels...
She was so frightened that her legs went weak and she almost knelt down.
"Young master, Xi'er... Xi'er won't go to a brothel!"
She trembled, tears streaming down her face, just like her stepmother's mannerisms in the Lin family.
Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she raised her head and looked at Tang Bugui with a pitiful expression.
"You...or...or you can let Xi'er stay by your side as a maid. Please don't throw Xi'er into a brothel. Xi'er is scared..." She lowered her eyes, but in her heart she began to calculate.
The man in front of her was dressed better than the county magistrate, and she noticed the martial arts boots on Tang Bugui's feet, which were only worn by military officers.
As long as I can gain Tang Bugui's pity...
"My lord, my face hurts!" Guard Ling suddenly covered his face and said to his general.
Before Tang Bugui could ask, he heard Guard Ling continue, "This little girl's abacus beads hit my face, crackling and popping, it hurt so much..."
Little Su Bao looked at Guard Ling with bright, sparkling eyes.
This uncle is amazing; the things he says sound very knowledgeable!
The adoring gaze made Guard Ling feel a little giddy without realizing it.
Tang Bugui's face darkened. He blocked Guard Ling and stood in front of his daughter.
He narrowed his eyes and glanced at Lin Xier indifferently.
At such a young age, instead of learning good things, they're always up to these weird and silly things...
"Pfft..." Tang Qi was so disgusted with Lin Xi'er that he couldn't help but laugh out loud when he heard her say that.
Lin Xier pursed her lips, raised her head, and looked at Tang Bugui with a wronged expression.
She was unaware of the relationship between Tang Bugui and Xiao Subao at the moment; if she had known, she would have regretted it terribly.
“Young master…” She bit her lip, raised her eyes, and although she had a young face, she acted like a courtesan.
Tang Bugui's eyelids twitched wildly, and he felt terrible.
She quickly turned around to look at her beloved daughter and washed her eyes...
When Xiao Su Bao saw her father's terrified expression, she smiled slightly. So even her tall and imposing father could look like this?
“Su Bao, let me tell you, you must not learn such a despicable manner from her. A woman must never belittle herself, you know?” Tang Bugui looked at little Su Bao and said in an extremely solemn voice.
Lin Xier, who was pretending to be pitiful and seeking attention, suddenly raised her eyes.
What's going on?
Isn't Xiao Su Bao an unwanted bastard?
How can there be such a handsome father?
"Young master...you were lying to me just now...she's just an unwanted bastard...how could she possibly be your daughter!"
Lin Xi'er said this subconsciously, completely unaware that her words had stung the hearts of everyone present.
"Insolence!" Tang Bugui's face darkened!
Lin Xier was so frightened that she trembled all over and knelt on the ground, too afraid to move.
"I...no, I just..." Lin Xi'er's voice trembled as she tried to explain.
But Tang Bugui continued, "Since you enjoy degrading yourself so much and like doing things that serve others, then I will grant your wish and send you to the biggest brothel in An County!"
Tang Bugui turned to look at Guard Ling, who helplessly reached out and lifted Lin Xier up from the crowd.
"I don't want to, I don't want to go to a brothel..." She looked at everyone, but apart from Zhao Wu who still felt a little sorry for her, the others didn't even look at her.
Guard Ling rolled his eyes, reached out, and waved his hand twice towards the shadows.
Then a dark figure appeared.
"It's up to you, take it..." Guard Ling was about to speak when he saw Xiao Su Bao looking over, so he coughed lightly and pulled the guard aside.
Little Su Bao blinked, somewhat unable to process what was happening!
Is this what it feels like to be protected by your father?
like……
It's really great!
But Lin Xi'er, standing to the side, turned pale, her eyes filled with terror.
She was so frightened that she trembled, and her clean, faded pants were soaked.
Suddenly, she rushed over and tried to grab Tang Bugui's leg, begging her.
The shadowy figure moved with incredible speed, grabbing her before she could even reach him and turning to leave.
It's unclear what Guard Ling said to the shadowy figure, but he secretly glanced at Little Su Bao as he left.
Tang Qi paused, and the look in his eyes towards Tang Bugui was no longer so unpleasant.
"By the way, her father is some kind of Commandant Lin, I heard he's a sixth-rank official..." Tang Qi said.
"Oh, I'm not one to use my power to bully others, but... for my daughter's sake, I might be able to put up a little pressure..." Tang Bugui looked at Xiao Su Bao with a fawning expression.
The little dumpling's eyes suddenly lit up several degrees.
Tang Qi...
Oh no, my sister's going to change her mind!
If my mother goes back, she'll probably beat me to death!
Tang Qi's face was dark and gloomy, but he still managed to make an excuse: "Ahem, I need to pee..."
"I'll do it!" Tang Bugui immediately reached out to Xiao Su Bao, his eyes practically glued to his daughter.
Tang Qi reluctantly handed Xiao Su Bao to Tang Bugui and turned to go into the woods.
Yun Qi glanced at Tang Qi, then followed him, saying, "Come on, I also need to relieve myself..."
Tang Qi...
The children on Zhao Sanpao's side were terrified and dared not move, standing trembling to the side.
Their eyes were filled with nothing but envy when they looked at Xiao Su Bao.
“You…you can’t do this…” Zhao Wu gritted his teeth and couldn’t help but stand up and say.
Tang Bugui raised an eyebrow when he saw Zhao Wu: "If you are dissatisfied, I can handle this officially. She has committed an act of insubordination, daring to insult my daughter, who is a county princess appointed by His Majesty..."
"General, general, general..." Zhao Sanpao had just walked over and was about to talk to Xiao Subao when his eyes widened and his legs immediately knelt down.
The remaining people from Zhao Family Village trembled with fear and knelt down.
The emperor bestowed a title upon Xiao Su Bao, and on the day of his wedding, Lan Shu Yu was posthumously granted the title of First-Rank Lady of the State.
These things only circulated in Kyoto!
"So, do you think my punishment is too severe?" Tang Bugui raised an eyebrow and said coldly.
"No...no...not heavy..." Zhao Wu was so frightened that he prostrated himself on the ground, not daring to raise his head at all.
Although he liked Lin Xi'er, he didn't like her to the point of dying for her.
Tang Bugui was too lazy to argue with these children, but...
"Your conduct was improper; you attempted to steal from the county magistrate. Although you failed, it is still an act of treason. As punishment, you will clean the streets of An County for a month... Zhao Wu, unable to distinguish right from wrong and lacking common sense, will be sent to jail for a month to see what right and wrong are..."
Little Su Bao clung nervously to Tang Bugui's neck, the tuft of hair on her head bobbing up and down!
She secretly glanced at her father, her brows furrowed with delight...
She felt like she could straighten her back now...
Tang Bugui then looked at Zhao Sanpao, a slight smile in his eyes. This kid has potential.
"Zhao Sanpao, is it? You do have some insight and guts... But use your brain next time. If we hadn't arrived in time, you'd be dead!"
Zhao Sanpao hurriedly kowtowed and admitted his mistake, but he felt a little happier inside.
Tang Bugui was about to say something when he turned around and met Xiao Su Bao's bright and piercing eyes.
He was momentarily overwhelmed by the gaze upon him...
"Little Su Bao, is Daddy's way of saying this okay?" When he looked at his daughter, his ruthless and cold face instantly turned into a fawning one.
Guard Ling...
Cover your eyes tightly, then open them a crack!
I can't bear to look, but I just want to see it!
Our general has two faces...
"Daddy is so amazing... Su Bao... Su Bao likes Daddy like this..." Little Su Bao's cheeks flushed, her eyes filled with admiration and happiness.
She'll have a father to protect her child from now on... no longer a bastard, no longer an unwanted wild child.
"It feels so good to have a father..." She didn't squint her eyes, and hugged Tang Bugui tightly.
When she was bullied before, no one protected her, and her nephews and nieces would laugh at her!
But now, she has a father too!
The little dumpling's cheeks were flushed, and its eyes were full of excitement.
The sudden, soft touch made Tang Bugui feel like he was about to fly with joy.
He's rarely smiled, not even once in years, but now...
"General, do you need another son? Look at me..." Guard Ling said with some envy.
Tang Bugui glared at him irritably: "Get lost!"
"Alright..." Guard Ling quickly led the group of brats away...
"Su Bao, do you want to ride a horse? Daddy will take you riding a horse, okay?" Tang Bugui asked Su Bao cautiously.
Little Su Bao blinked her big eyes, a little shy, but mostly excited.
"Okay!" She mustered her courage and nodded.
"General, please be careful. My little Su Bao is timid. Don't scare her!" Tang Qi thought of how he had carried Su Bao around in circles, and the little dumpling had only spun around once before she was trembling with fear.
How could someone ride a horse like that?
Tang Qi couldn't help but sigh, his eyes filled with worry as he looked at Tang Bugui.
"Don't worry, it's safe!" Tang Bugui said to Tang Qi with a serious expression.
Tang Qi was still a little worried, but he didn't say anything more. He just understood why his mother wanted to beat him that day, and he felt the same way now.
"General, please be very careful. My little sister is timid, don't frighten her..." he couldn't help but continue to remind her, his wrinkles crinkling together, looking somewhat melancholy.
Looking at Tang Qi's bitter and resentful expression, the little girl pursed her lips.
"Second brother, are you... are you unhappy?" The little dumpling looked at Tang Qi nervously, her big eyes blinking cautiously.
Tang Qi's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes showed a hint of heartache.
It's good if more people like Su Bao.
Besides, his status is so high...
"Su Bao is overthinking it. Second brother... I'm very happy that someone loves our Su Bao. Besides, he's your father..." Tang Qi tried his best to keep smiling.
"But..." The little dumpling looked at her second brother uncertainly, her big eyes blinking, full of doubt.
"Alright, sweetie, your second brother is really happy. Look, your second brother is smiling!" Tang Qi tried his best to make the corners of his lips turn up.
Little Su Bao became even more suspicious.
Yun Qi, who was standing to the side, sighed as she looked at the awkward Tang Qi and put her arm around his shoulder.
"Brother Tang Qi, why don't we get the ox harnessed first? Otherwise the meat will spoil!" Yun Qi chimed in, trying to change the subject.
Worried that Tang Qi might change his mind, Tang Bugui took Xiao Subao and boarded the Lu.
Lu, who usually wouldn't let anyone touch him, snorted excitedly and nudged his head toward Xiao Su Bao.
Guard Ling, who was helping to put the reins on the ox, was also stunned when he saw this scene.
This Lu is a famous horse. Although it is not as famous as the legendary Lu, it is still a fine steed that can travel a thousand miles. It only recognizes their general as its own.
"The horse is so well-behaved!" Little Su Bao gently stroked the horse's mane, and Dilu horse became even happier, running excitedly.
Little Su Bao was terrified, but thankfully Tang Bugui held her tightly in his arms.
The little dumpling felt its father's warm and strong embrace, and immediately felt less scared.
"Waaah, my little sister, my soft and cuddly little sister..." Tang Qi watched Xiao Su Bao and the others leave, and immediately sat in the oxcart and started crying.
Guard Ling...
This person must be insane!
He shook his head, thinking how these people could be so unmanly over a little girl!
He's different from the general and the others...
I definitely won't let a little girl sway my emotions...
Tang Bugui sneezed violently, and suddenly a hand reached out onto his nose...
The little hands were soft, and they had a...stinky smell...
Tang Bugui...
"Daddy...is Su Bao dreaming?" Little Su Bao suddenly whispered, a little worried that she was dreaming.
Tang Bugui paused, his nose stung, and he felt a pang of heartache.
"No, Father will never leave you again..." Tang Bugui said softly, his white hair at his temples fluttering in the wind, and a bit more vitality between his brows.
Little Su Bao looked up at Tang Bugui and nodded heavily.
The group didn't arrive at the county government office until noon. Butcher Sun had been waiting for most of the day and was getting very anxious when they didn't come.
For some reason, there are an unusually large number of people selling pork today.
He guessed that the Wu family must have made a move...
"Butcher Sun, where's the pork? Didn't you say you'd have pork first thing in the morning? What time is it now?" a plump old woman called out, carrying a basket.
“Yeah, didn’t you guys say you’d always let everyone eat meat?” another thug-looking guy chimed in.
Butcher Sun's face turned somewhat grim, and his brows furrowed even more deeply.
His gaze swept over these people, and he felt a little worried.
"Don't worry, everyone, there will definitely be meat for you..." Butcher Sun sighed and said to the crowd.
"What about the meat? You think you can just say you have it? Are you going to cut off a piece of your own flesh for everyone?"
The fat old woman had received a lot of money from the Wu family, and she was cursing them with the most fervor right now.
When Fu Manduo learned of this from the maid, his brows furrowed.
The Tang family is always very punctual, could something have happened?
"Little tiger..." Fuman called out towards the door.
The little tiger walked in from outside with a stern face.
“Little Tiger, send someone to Tangjia Village to check on the situation, and…” She paused, then jumped off the stool.
"Have someone take the pork from home to Butcher Sun..." Although Fu Manduo was only six or seven years old, he had grown up with Fu Lin and was better at handling things than others.
"Yes!" Little Tiger went out to find the advisor.
The latter thought for a moment, then prepared to leave with two maids.
"Young Miss, something terrible has happened! Aunt Wen has fallen into the water!" At this moment, several servants rushed over and shouted.
Fu Manduo frowned slightly. Aunt Wen was one of his father's concubines, and she was usually well-behaved!
“Let’s go take a look!” Fuman said.
On the other side, Xiao Su Bao suddenly raised her head, her pupils shrinking slightly.
"Daddy, run fast, I need to go to the county government to find Sister Fu..." the little dumpling shouted hurriedly.
