Chapter 377 Wife, my back hurts
"What's the use of telling me this? It's the seed that's no good, it can't grow a daughter... If you're so capable, go find my father!" Tang Sanbao roared.
The Qian family...
"Shut up, all of you!" She took a deep breath, feeling that if this continued, she would be driven crazy by this couple sooner or later.
Tang Dabao felt somewhat helpless; he was getting used to staying at home these past few days.
He stepped forward, looked at his grandmother and aunt, and breathed a slight sigh of relief.
However, his eyes searched around behind them but did not find the chubby figure.
Tang Dabao felt a little disappointed, but his mood quickly returned.
"Grandma, Fourth Uncle, Aunt, how was your trip? Did you encounter any danger?" the little girl asked, acting like a little adult.
"Mother, look at him, Da Bao is becoming more and more like his older brother. He's mature beyond his years, really..." Wang Xiuer muttered to Qian Shi from the side.
Qian felt a headache coming on and couldn't help but say to her, "Can you be quiet for a while? You're pregnant, and the most important thing for a pregnant woman is to rest!"
Wang Xiuer paused upon hearing her mother-in-law's voice, then looked at her with teary eyes.
Qian stared wide-eyed. This was supposed to be a fierce second daughter-in-law, so why was she crying all the time?
Before Madam Qian could speak, Wang Xiuer said, "Mother, I was just worried about you all, I..."
She had been very uneasy these past few days, especially when she thought about Qian Shi.
Last night she dreamed that something happened to the Qian family, which scared her so much that she woke up crying.
Her mother was the best mother in the world, and she didn't want anything to happen to her.
"Mother, you don't know, I kept dreaming last night that you were dead... I..."
Sun Cuihua stepped forward and immediately covered her younger brother's mouth.
"Alright, that's enough!" Sun Cuihua muttered under her breath.
She secretly glanced at her mother-in-law, whose expression remained unchanged, and Sun Cuihua breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Su Bao and Wang Mingtian, who were standing to the side, were both stunned and looked at Wang Xiuer.
Wang Mingtian squinted and carefully examined Wang Xiuer, then smiled.
He said that the Tang family was unlucky, so why had they managed to hold on until now?
It turns out they unexpectedly ran into this unlucky little guy...
Things tend to turn around when they reach their extreme, which gave them some breathing room.
"Mrs. Qian, you have a wonderful daughter-in-law!" Wang Mingtian said sincerely.
Ms. Qian was puzzled, but Xiao Su Bao reached out and grabbed Ms. Qian and Wang Xiu'er's hands.
The little dumpling looked at her second sister-in-law and nodded firmly. She also thought her second sister-in-law was very good!
Moreover, Xiao Su Bao noticed that her second sister-in-law and Qian Shi had a similar aura. She couldn't quite put her finger on it, but she could vaguely sense that there seemed to be some connection between the two.
Wang Mingtian said softly, "This is a causal thread!"
Little Su Bao was taken aback and looked up at her master.
Wang Mingtian ignored her and said directly to the Empress, "The time should not be too long, preferably within three days!"
He raised his eyes and glanced at the mountains surrounding Tangjia Village, then paused and said, "There should be some useful medicinal herbs in these mountains. I'll go and collect some in the next few days!"
The emperor paused, then said, "I'll have someone escort you there!"
Wang Mingtian did not refuse. He looked at Xiao Su Bao and said, "Su Bao, come with me for the next few days!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Su Bao immediately nodded emphatically. She could sense that her grandmother's health seemed to be somewhat unwell.
The naughty baby inside her is trying to steal nutrients from her body.
If this continues, something bad is bound to happen!
Moreover, the little dumpling noticed that the black aura on the Empress's abdomen was a bit thicker than before, but for some reason, this black aura seemed to be suppressed by something and remained stable in her lower abdomen.
The little dumpling couldn't understand, so it could only turn its head to look at its master.
Wang Mingtian couldn't help but laugh when he saw the little dumpling's appearance.
"That's because she ate something good!"
Then Wang Mingtian looked at the thousand-year-old peach tree not far away. This peach tree had not blossomed or borne fruit for many years, but now it not only blossomed, but also continued to bear fruit!
Even more strangely, some of the fruits were ripe, some had just set fruit, and some were still flower buds.
"Of course, my wife is... cough cough, wife, my back hurts!" The emperor turned his head and looked at the empress with a wronged expression.
His wife pinched him again. Ever since he left the palace, he had no idea how many times she had pinched him.
Everyone instinctively looked over, their eyes flashing with an inexplicable light.
The Empress blushed slightly.
This emperor is becoming increasingly shameless!
The Empress glanced at the Emperor, but her eyes were fixed on Wang Mingtian.
"Are you a Taoist priest or something else?" The Empress looked at Wang Mingtian's thick hair, her voice filled with curiosity.
After all, this person is quite extraordinary to be able to say so much.
Wang Mingtian smiled slightly and looked at the Empress's scrutinizing gaze, saying, "I'm just an old drunkard and a barefoot doctor, nothing special!"
The Empress didn't believe it; she had heard of a name before.
Wang Mingyang...
He was a Taoist priest of the Quanzhen School, but for some reason he suddenly broke his vows and returned to secular life.
Later, Wang Mingyang became a legendary doctor, and his presence could be seen everywhere in the Great Shang Kingdom.
But not long after, Wang Mingyang also disappeared. Some said he died, while others said he ascended to immortality.
There are all sorts of theories.
Wang Mingtian, Wang Mingyang...
The Empress couldn't help but connect the two people in her mind.
"Does the sir know a man named Wang Mingyang?" The Empress's gaze fell on Wang Mingtian, her eyes filled with scrutiny.
"What Wang Mingyang? I don't know him!" Wang Mingtian said without even turning his head.
The Empress was somewhat suspicious, but also felt it was unlikely.
After all, when she was born, her parents met Wang Mingyang, who was said to be over sixty years old at the time, but the man in front of her looked to be only fifty or sixty years old!
Wang Mingyang once asserted that his destiny was exceptionally noble, yet his fate was fraught with misfortune.
She is destined to face a calamity. If she survives it, all will be well; if she fails, she will die and perish!
Doing good deeds and having a kind heart can alleviate the symptoms, but to recover, one needs a benefactor with good fortune to intervene.
She is now the most honored person in the Great Shang Kingdom, and she originally thought that the calamity was over!
"My parents met that gentleman back then!" the Empress said calmly, her gaze falling on Wang Mingtian.
Could Wang Mingtian be the benefactor Wang Mingyang mentioned?
But then she felt it didn't seem like it... she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
"If we are destined to meet, we will meet; if we are not, we will not recognize each other even if we are face to face!" After Wang Mingtian finished speaking, his gaze fell on Xiao Subao. If she were not a little girl, he would not be here.
If Xiao Su Bao hadn't become his apprentice, he probably wouldn't have come back this way.
"Your most important thing right now is to take care of your health. As for other things, don't think about them for the time being."
After Wang Mingtian finished speaking, he turned and left.
The Empress watched Wang Mingtian's retreating figure, lost in thought...
Little Su Bao, on the other hand, seemed to sense something. The little dumpling looked at her master and then at her grandmother.
"Wife, do you know this old charlatan?" the emperor asked the empress with some doubt.
Wang Mingtian looked to be around their age, maybe a few years older. Could he be one of his wife's former suitors?
It's no wonder the emperor thought that way, after all, his wife was once the most beautiful woman in the army, and she was always incredibly beautiful.
The Empress immediately understood what her husband meant when she heard his words.
She turned her head and saw the emperor's somewhat depressed and conflicted expression.
"Alright, what are you thinking? My parents met someone named Wang Mingyang whose name is somewhat similar to this gentleman's!" The two had received a letter from their second son a long time ago.
The letter described the situation of the epidemic and mentioned Wang Mingtian's identity.
The emperor had tested Wang Mingtian many times before, partly out of concern that Wang Mingtian might not be skilled enough and could harm his wife.
"I thought it was something serious. There are countless people in the world with similar names. Why should my wife worry about such things?" The emperor waved his hand, not caring much about these matters.
Meanwhile, while they were talking, Madam Qian had already dragged Wang Xiuer and the others away to ask about what had happened in the past few days.
Upon hearing that Bai Yinjun had struck the emperor, Madam Qian nearly collapsed.
"Tell me, which Master Huang did Bai Yinjun beat?" Madam Qian clenched her handkerchief, her face ashen.
“Yes, Master Huang’s kung fu isn’t that great, but he always likes to give orders, so I encouraged Bai Yinjun…” Wang Xiuer chuckled.
Qian's heart skipped a beat, and she felt completely disoriented.
"You...you instigated this!" Madam Qian gritted her teeth and glared at her second daughter-in-law, her eyes wide with fury.
“Yes, Mother, you have no idea how incompetent Grandpa Huang is, haha…” Wang Xiuer smiled with her eyes crinkling, completely unaware that her mother-in-law’s body had stiffened.
When Xiao Su Bao came to find her second sister-in-law and the others, she saw that her mother looked unwell.
She glanced at her mother, whose face was pale, and her second sister-in-law, who was beaming with joy, and the girl's heart skipped a beat.
My second sister-in-law probably did something wrong again... no... she probably cooked!
"Mother~" Little Su Bao tugged at Qian Shi's clothes and called out softly.
Upon hearing the little girl's voice, Qian turned around and reached out to hug Xiao Su Bao.
Taking a deep breath, Madam Qian said in a low voice, "Second son's wife... I beg you, please... please don't instigate others in the future, it could lead to someone's death!"
Little Su Bao was confused, and Wang Xiu'er was also full of doubt.
The little dumpling didn't know what they were talking about, while Wang Xiuer was a bit confused.
It's just a fight; there are plenty of fights in their village!
"Mother, no one was killed. Bai Yinjun was very measured. He only dealt with Old Master Huang a little, he didn't use too much force!"
Wang Xiuer scratched her head, her face full of confusion as she spoke.
Mother looked so bitter and resentful...
"Your Majesty... Bai Yinjun hit Your Majesty!" Little Su Bao was slightly stunned, and her words were a little incoherent.
She may be young, but she's not stupid!
My grandfather is the emperor, the highest-ranking official in the Great Shang Kingdom!
While in the capital, she heard Lan Xin'er say that when she became the Crown Princess and then the Empress, she would be the most powerful woman in the Great Shang Kingdom, and she could have whomever she wanted give birth to.
If you want someone to die, no one can live...
I don't remember much else about the little dumpling, but I remember this sentence very clearly.
Never offend the emperor and empress!
Although my grandma and grandpa were very good too!
The little dumpling became nervous, her face contorted in distress.
Wang Xiuer, who was standing to the side, was unaware of the seriousness of the situation and was still looking at the little dumpling and her mother-in-law.
"It's just a fight, why are you all making such faces..." Wang Xiuer muttered to herself.
Madam Qian was worried that this guy might offend the Empress and the Emperor again.
She took a deep breath and said to Sun Cuihua beside her, "Cuihua, help Xiuer steady!"
"Mother, I'm perfectly steady, it's alright, look, I can even jump a couple more times!" Wang Xiuer said, lifting her skirt as if to jump, but Qian Shi...
That brat...
"Stand firm and hold on tight!" Madam Qian took a deep breath and said directly.
"It's Mother!" Sun Cuihua also sensed something was wrong and quickly helped the person up.
Little Su Bao, supporting Qian Shi, opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.
The little dumpling glanced at her second sister-in-law at the same time, though she felt that her grandfather probably wouldn't really take their lives.
but……
Grandfather is not a very magnanimous person!
"Heh, do you even know who the Bai family brat was who you instigated to beat up?" Madam Qian sneered.
Wang Xiuer was taken aback and couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that he's even higher in rank than Su Bao's father?"
"He can't lift anything with his hands or shoulders, he can't fight, he's fierce, and he's afraid of his wife..."
Wang Xiuer kept babbling on and on, and Qian's heart was about to jump out of her chest!
Without keeping her in suspense, she touched her temples and said, "He is the most honored person in the Great Shang Kingdom, His Majesty the Emperor!"
“But it’s just the Emperor… the Emperor…” Wang Xiuer’s vision blurred, but luckily Sun Cuihua supported her.
But even Sun Cuihua felt her legs go weak!
Wang Xiuer gripped Sun Cuihua's hand tightly, her voice trembling.
"Mother...you...no...you're not joking with me, are you?" Wang Xiuer's legs trembled, and her voice shook.
Am I really that unlucky?
Is it too late for her to bring her mother-in-law, husband, sister-in-law, and brothers up the mountain now?
Madam Qian glared at Wang Xiuer, thinking, "That idiot..."
"Do you think I'd joke with you?" Madam Qian looked at her second daughter-in-law with annoyance.
"Mother, why don't you let the second son divorce me? That way, it won't have anything to do with you anymore. Yes, you should let the second son divorce me. Anyway, I was forced into marrying my husband, so my marriage is illegitimate. If you kick me out, I'll bear the blame myself!"
Little Su Bao was startled and subconsciously looked up at her second sister-in-law.
The usually carefree second sister-in-law was now very serious, with a determined look in her eyes.
Before Lady Qian could speak, the emperor's voice came from the side!
"Your idea is not bad!" The emperor squinted, put his hands behind his back, and slowly walked over.
Xiao Su Bao's face paled slightly, and the next moment, she knelt down directly before the emperor.
Qian also knelt down, while neither Sun Cuihua nor Wang Xiuer dared to stand.
"Your Majesty, I was wrong. Please forgive my mother-in-law and her family!" Wang Xiuer said, kowtowing vigorously to the emperor.
