Chapter 370 Find a live-in son-in-law for the little dumpling
Tang Cheng looked at Tang Bugui and coughed lightly.
Didn't this uncle marry Xiaosubao's mother?
But Xiao Su Bao's mother is gone. Does this mean that her uncle is going to marry a new stepmother for Xiao Su Bao?
Thinking of this, the blush on Tang Cheng's face disappeared.
“Uncle, if you really want to remarry, then I definitely won’t let Xiao Su Bao leave with you,” Tang Cheng said solemnly.
If it weren't for Xiao Su Bao, their family wouldn't be where they are today.
They're probably all dead by now. They don't want to entrust Xiao Su Bao to a stepmother so that she can be happy and carefree in the future.
They say that once you have a stepmother, you'll have a stepfather too, what if...
Just as he was already imagining how Tang Bugui's future sons and daughters would bully Xiao Su Bao, Tang Bugui's face darkened.
He glared at the Tang brothers with annoyance.
Those two lads really need to be taught a lesson.
"What are you thinking? When did I say I was going to get married? This book..."
He paused, then continued with a hint of helplessness and frustration, "It was Xiao Su Bao who had it brought from Wang Tong's study."
After he finished speaking, he placed the book, which was not suitable for children, on the table.
Tang Qi's eyes widened instantly. He rushed over, looked around, and then asked uncertainly, "Su Bao is not even five years old. How could she be reading this kind of book!"
Tang Cheng wasn't as foolish as his second brother. He remembered that Xiao Su Bao never spoke without reason, so he said, "Shut up!"
After saying that, he picked up the little book and started flipping through it.
At first, his face was a little red, but as he read on, his brows furrowed.
"Although there are still portraits in the back, something seems a little off!" Tang Cheng said, and then began to examine the painting carefully.
Tang Qi curled his lip, thinking it was just his older brother who wanted to see it...
He turned to look at Tang Bugui, thinking to himself that he needed to have a good talk with his uncle.
"Uncle, are you really not going to get married?" He looked at his uncle and asked somewhat uncertainly.
After all, Tang Bugui is currently in his prime, and what if he can't withstand the pressure...?
Suddenly, he had a change of heart. If Tang Bugui remarried, could Xiao Su Bao stay at home?
They worked hard to marry their little dumpling off to someone who treated her well...
No, we'll find a son-in-law to live with the little dumpling later...
"I understand!" Just then, Tang Cheng suddenly shouted, his eyes sparkling.
He rushed up to the two of them, clutching the book, and exclaimed, "Look here!"
Tang Qi was taken aback when he saw his elder brother reacting so dramatically.
After all, his older brother is usually very steady and reliable.
"What is it that has surprised you so much, brother? Did you witness some profound move?"
Tang Qi muttered to himself.
Then I felt a pain in my buttocks.
Tang Cheng kicked the scoundrel in annoyance. "Look at him, is he even speaking human language?"
He ignored Tang Qi and turned to Tang Bugui, saying, "The faces in this book aren't from the Great Shang Dynasty; they look like Xiongnu people. And look here..."
Tang Cheng pointed to the furnishings in one of the courtyards, which was the view of the courtyard behind the Lan County government office.
More importantly, next to the book was a box filled with gold and silver jewelry…
Another image is even more striking, showing a strange totem painted on the person's chest.
"This is..." Tang Bugui, who had been fighting for many years, suddenly changed his expression.
This is the totem of the Xiongnu Tatar tribe!
The totem was drawn extremely realistically. Tang Bugui looked at the face more closely and found that it bore a resemblance to the chieftain of the Tatar tribe!
The woman beneath him, however, was filled with pain and grotesque expressions!
Tang Bugui clenched his fists, his face extremely gloomy.
"This person looks so strange!" Tang Qi also noticed something was wrong and couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"This is a Xiongnu man, and this person should be a prince of the Tatar tribe..."
After a pause, Tang Bugui thought of several princes from the Tatar tribe, then pondered for a moment and said, "If I'm not mistaken, he should be the third prince of the Tatar tribe!"
This third prince is half-Shang Dynasty blood; his mother was from the Shang Dynasty and was captured years ago.
Because this third prince looked very much like a person from the Great Shang Kingdom, he was disliked by his father, King Anmu.
However, this third prince was extremely intelligent and had been well-versed in the books of the Great Shang Kingdom and the Tatar tribe since childhood.
However, the third prince is now ill and has been said to be on his deathbed!
But now!
Tang Bugui's face was somewhat gloomy; these Xiongnu people were no pushovers.
And this book...
After looking through it carefully, he saw a date.
It happened back in March of this year!
It's only June now.
At the end of the book, there are even many illustrations of young girls kneeling before this third prince.
They boarded a carriage, which had an orchid symbol on it!
Tang Bugui's expression changed instantly, and his body began to tremble.
I'm feeling really bad.
The Lan family's mark!
In addition, there was the matter of Xiao Su Bao being sent away...
He was stunned, and a guess began to form in his mind.
No wonder Xiao Su Bao had someone send this book over.
With a gloomy look in his eyes, Tang Bugui picked up a book and walked toward the study where Xiao Su Bao was hiding.
The other children were all reading, but Xiao Su Bao sat quietly to the side, her eyes fixed on the book, her body trembling slightly.
She thought of the carriage she had seen in that book!
That carriage was exactly the same as the Lan family carriage I had seen before!
The little dumpling even vaguely sensed that if that old woman hadn't let her go, she probably would have ended up on the map too!
Just thinking about it sent a chill down the little dumpling's spine, making her feel cold all over.
Xiao Mobao stood to the side, his brows slightly furrowed.
Then he reached out and hugged her!
Tang Si...
He had already noticed that something was wrong with his little sister, but before he could comfort her, he saw Xiao Mo Bao make his move.
Tang Si was furious and wanted nothing more than to rush over and teach this guy a lesson.
"Su Bao...be good...it's okay!" Xiao Mo Bao whispered to the little dumpling.
Then, after a pause, Xiao Mobao frowned and said, "I'll be your father... don't be sad!"
Little Su Bao was taken aback and looked up at Little Mo Bao.
Seeing Xiao Su Bao's gaze, Xiao Mo Bao's eyes hardened even more.
The little dumpling has become his mother, so he should at least become the little girl's father. That would be fair!
That's how my parents taught me!
"Ahem!" Tang Bugui coughed lightly, his face dark.
Little Su Bao looked up and saw her father; her eyes lit up.
Little Mo Bao was stunned; her arms were already empty.
Little Su Bao had already rushed to Tang Bugui's side. The little girl was a little nervous and called out, "Daddy!"
Tang Bugui looked at the little dumpling and felt a wave of tenderness in his heart. He reached out and hugged the little girl into his arms.
Ling Buqi's eyes were filled with complex emotions, but mostly with heartache.
The Lan family's carriage, plus the time that Xiao Su Bao was abandoned!
If Xiao Su Bao hadn't been placed in Tangjia Village back then, things might be different now...
Just thinking about this made Ling Buqi want to kill the Lan family!
Their little princess is so adorable, how could these people bring themselves to harm her?
“Little General…” Ling Buqi’s eyes reddened, and she almost cried as she looked at Xiao Su Bao.
The little dumpling looked at Ling Buqi with confusion, and couldn't help but blink twice.
"Brother Ling, don't cry!"
Ling Buqi's nose tingled: "I didn't cry, I didn't, I absolutely didn't cry!"
He didn't feel sorry for the young general; he just...
Tang Bugui looked at Xiao Subao and couldn't help but say, "I'm sorry!"
Little Su Bao was stunned, not understanding why her father was apologizing, and she quickly shook her head.
"Father, you don't need to apologize!"
Tang Bugui hugged her even tighter, his heart aching.
Tang Cheng had already guessed some of it. He sighed and gave Tang Bugui a reproachful look. If he had found Xiao Su Bao earlier, the little dumpling wouldn't have had to face so much danger.
"Little Su Bao, what do you want to eat? Big brother will make it for you!"
Tang Cheng looked at Xiao Su Bao and said in a gentle voice.
Little Su Bao scratched his head, looked at his father, then at his older brother, and then said in his babyish voice, "I want to eat the steamed buns that Mom makes!"
Tang Cheng nodded, then pulled Tang Qi away.
Tang Qi followed along, completely bewildered, and left, equally bewildered.
"Father, there are so many books here! The Second Prince promised to send these books to Tangjia Village. The children in the village will be happy to be able to read!"
Little Su Bao said to Tang Bugui with a happy face.
Tang Bugui paused, then gently stroked her little tuft of hair and said, "Alright, since you like it so much, Father will have someone build a library for Tang Family Village!"
"Ahem, General, you have no money!" Ling Buqi couldn't help but mutter to himself.
Tang Bugui...
Can this brat bite me? Can't he talk anymore?
How annoying!
The little dumpling was taken aback and was about to speak when the girl beside her said, "I have money, little darling. I'll change your library, and you can just let me hug you!"
The girl's voice was very clear and crisp. Tang Bugui looked over and saw that she was a maid from the Su family.
General Su's only daughter, right...?
"Are you General Su's daughter?" Tang Bugui asked Su Ruanruan.
"Yes, you must be General Tang. I've met you before!" The girl smiled brightly, but her eyes and brows showed a carefree spirit, unlike that of a typical girl.
Su Liang and General Su are brothers. When Su Liang was young, he had a fight with his family over some things and ran away to An County.
Tang Bugui had also heard about this matter. Thinking of General Su, Tang Bugui asked, "How is your father now?"
"My dad is fine, it's just that my aunt isn't doing so well!"
After Su Ruanruan finished speaking, she glanced at Tang Bugui and then said directly, "My father arranged a marriage for her, and she's already married!"
Su Ruanruan sighed. If she could, she would still very much like Tang Bugui to be her uncle.
Tang Bugui had no expression on his face, and he couldn't even remember Su Ruanruan's aunt.
She looked at Xiao Su Bao, then at Tang Bu Gui. She had heard about Tang Bu Gui's marriage before.
Unexpectedly, General Tang already had such a grown daughter, and...
She really loves Xiao Su Bao!
Su Yun thought of that aunt, but didn't feel anything, since they weren't familiar with each other!
"By the way, I just took a look around this study, and there seems to be something wrong with it!"
Su Ruanruan suddenly spoke to Tang Bugui.
That jump was quite fast.
"The bottom of that box over there should be empty, and behind that painting on the side..."
As Su Ruanruan spoke, Ling Buqi's expression turned rather unpleasant.
After all, this is a place they've searched!
"I'll go take a look!" Ling Buqi said and immediately ran over to check.
Sure enough, upon closer inspection, something was amiss!
Ling Buqi directly opened these hidden compartments.
Inside were other ledgers and a seal.
These ledgers are a little different from the ones they've seen before!
The characters on them are all Xiongnu script, which is completely different from the script of the Shang Dynasty.
Ling Buqi carried the account book and the seal to Tang Bugui.
Sure enough, the mark was the symbol of the Tatar tribe.
If Wang Tong was originally involved in child trafficking.
So now, it is tantamount to colluding with the enemy and betraying the country.
"Pack these books up, and while you're at it, conduct another thorough search of the entire county government office!"
After Tang Bugui finished speaking, he glanced at the little bundle of joy in his arms and said, "Su Bao, do you want to search the yard together?"
Little Su Bao looked at her father and paused for a moment.
Does she even need to think about it?
The little dumpling looked at Su Yun and Fu Manduo beside him.
The eyes of the girls were all sparkling.
"Go, go, go!" Fuman immediately perked up.
She had read about it in storybooks; the government offices of these corrupt officials must be thoroughly searched.
Su Yun couldn't help but nod.
Su Ruanruan, on the other hand, stood to the side with her arms crossed, watching the group with a smile.
Finally, led by the little ones, the two teams of soldiers began a search operation, moving from east to west.
Xiao Su Bao was surrounded by several children, who kept looking at a vase and rummaging through a jar.
Surprisingly, they even found some valuables or other items that were hidden in hard-to-find corners.
Little Tune and Little Bell, seeing their little master looking for something, immediately ran off on their own.
Before long, you could see Xiao Diao Diao with a gold ring in his mouth.
Little Bell had a money pouch hanging around her neck...
Even the housekeeper, Bai, dug out a small box from the garden.
"Little Su Bao, your pets are all so amazing!" Fu Manduo looked at the three little guys and didn't know what to say for a moment.
As for the three little ones, and Little Fatty Tiger, they just play by themselves and can be ignored.
"Little tune, Little bell, Butler Bai, you're all so great!" Little Su Bao reached out and patted their heads.
The three little buns and Little Whitey were immediately unhappy.
"Meow..."
The four little ones started calling out at Xiao Su Bao's feet.
The soldiers exchanged glances, momentarily at a loss for words.
This immediately silenced those who had previously held some opinions about them.
Look, that's what you call professional.
By evening, the entire county government office had been thoroughly searched.
"Brother Tang, your daughter is amazing! I want to take her back!" The Second Prince said enviously as he leaned over.
"If Your Highness has nothing else to do, why don't you interrogate Wang Tong first?" Tang Bugui narrowed his eyes, inadvertently blocking the Second Prince's view of his daughter.
"How stingy!" The Second Prince paused, then said, "I've decided to send Doctor Wang and my niece to Tangjia Village to see my mother tomorrow!"
Tang Bugui nodded. Things here have actually stabilized to some extent.
"Okay, I understand!" Tang Bugui nodded in response.
Wang Tongcang actually had quite a lot of things; besides these, they also found some surprises.
For example, in addition to the seal, they also found some items unique to the Tatar tribe.
These things can also indirectly prove something.
"I'm going back too!" Tang Bugui paused and said.
