Chapter 494 Men, beat this lowly servant to death for me!
The ladies' expressions changed; they had never seen anyone like Wang Xiuer who would start a fight at the slightest provocation!
Which of these women isn't putting on airs?
Wang Xiuer slapped him twice more.
Zhou Rong went completely mad, and the maids and servants behind her also looked terrible.
After all, Zhou Rong now represents the Fan family, and Wang Xiuer's actions are not just a slap in the face for Zhou Rong, but for the entire Fan family.
"Guards, beat this vile servant to death!" Zhou Rong shouted angrily.
However, the Tang family did enter, but they stood protectively in front of Wang Xiuer.
Ms. Qian felt somewhat relieved.
There's not a single good person in the Zhou family!
Just as Madam Qian was about to speak, a voice came from behind her: "Madam Zhou, shut up! Today is the day of the top scholar's joyous occasion. You're causing trouble here, so you deserve to be beaten!"
The young mistress of the emperor's brother-in-law spoke, her eyes carrying a hint of coldness.
Zhou Rong's expression changed slightly, but this time she dared not speak.
The old woman's voice reached Qian Shi's ears: "This is the young mistress of the Imperial Uncle's mansion, from the Cao family!"
Everyone in this circle knows about the feud between the Cao and Zhou families, after all, Old Madam Zhou married the Emperor's brother-in-law at such an advanced age!
Even if it's just a concubine, that's still one of a kind for Scorpion Daddy!
"You..." Zhou Rong looked at the ugly face of Madam Cao from the Imperial Uncle's Mansion, but dared not speak.
Nowadays, the Zhou family is not only universally hated, but also has a terrible reputation.
Madam Qian glanced at Madam Cao, but in her heart she remembered that when Tang Bugui returned to the village before, he seemed to have mentioned a Cao family.
It seems the Cao family has their eyes on Su Bao!
After all, Tang Bugui held military power, and now Tang Si had become the top scholar, while Tang Yu had become the second-best...
Tangjia Village now holds the key to high-yield grain production...
These are things that others cannot compare to.
The Qian family wasn't stupid; they naturally understood these principles.
Little Su Bao is only six years old now, and the Qian family doesn't want their little girl to be forced into an arranged marriage.
Moreover, Madam Qian knew that Xiao Su Bao's abilities were both a good thing and a source of trouble.
If those with ulterior motives find out, it could cause a lot of trouble.
Now that Madam Cao is showing goodwill, it's definitely to get them on the same page.
“You…” At this moment, Zhou’s face turned very ugly, and her eyes were fixed on Qian and the others.
Qian seemed not to have seen anything, a faint smile on her face.
"Xiuer, stop fooling around!" Madam Qian shouted at Wang Xiuer.
Wang Xiuer ran eagerly towards Qian Shi, her face showing a hint of flattery.
Madam Qian glared at the girl with a hint of annoyance, but felt a sense of comfort in her heart.
"We country women are no match for you ladies, so please don't be angry with my second son's wife. I apologize to everyone!"
Qian spoke calmly.
Zhou Rong actually wanted to leave, but she didn't dare to now!
She covered her face and sat down angrily to the side.
The Fan family breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Zhou Rong had no intention of causing any more trouble.
Madam Qian glanced at the time and thought it was about time, so she said, "It's about time. Why don't we go out for a stroll? There are many flowers in the garden of the General's Mansion. Let's go and take a look!"
On the male side, Tang Bugui was surrounded by a lot of people, and Tang Si was also surrounded by a large number of people.
They chatted.
Just then, a few people nearby exchanged glances, all pondering how to find out about Tang Bugui's marriage.
Tang Bugui is a favorite of His Majesty and the Empress. As long as you can appease Tang Bugui, many problems can be easily solved.
"General Tang, you've found your son! I wonder when you'll remarry so he can come back and take care of the family!"
The young master Cao from the family of the emperor's brother-in-law spoke up.
The crowd fell silent for a moment.
Don't be fooled by the fact that it's Tang Si's wedding today; so many officials from the court have come!
They weren't concerned about Tang Si's reputation, but rather about Tang Bugui's.
Tang Bugui glanced at these people, then said calmly, "I won't marry!"
The crowd fell silent for a moment. Young Master Cao smiled and said, "General, aren't you living like a widow? Look at your nephew, he's about to have his wedding night today... Aren't you envious!"
Everyone looked at Young Master Cao, their lips twitched, and they all took two steps back, their eyes filled with extremely complicated emotions.
I've seen stupid people, but I've never seen anyone this stupid.
Others may not know what kind of person Tang Bugui is, but these officials know it very well!
Who would dare speak to Tang Bugui like that? Isn't that just asking for trouble?
As soon as they thought of something, everyone's emotions changed considerably.
Tang Bugui glanced at Young Master Cao indifferently, then said, "If Young Master Cao wants to have a small wedding every day, then he can be a groom every day, and I have no objection!"
Young Master Cao was humiliated by Tang Bugui's retort, and his expression turned rather unpleasant.
But Tang Bugui acted as if he hadn't noticed.
Many of those who had designs on Tang Bugui fell silent at this point.
They were all men, and they felt that it was impossible for a man to remain chaste for a dead woman!
Moreover, if Tang Bugui really wanted to get married, he would marry even a princess or a noblewoman!
Just then, General Su arrived. He had official business to attend to today and only had time to come now.
He was holding a pair of twins in his arms.
The two children look very much like General Su and are quite adorable.
Everyone knows that General Su brought back the twins he had given birth to from his previous marriage, but no one has ever seen them.
Now that everyone has seen the two children, all their doubts have vanished.
This child looks so much like General Su!
"Brother Tang, I'm here!" Su Shan chuckled, a hint of joy in his eyes.
It was the Tang family who helped their two children.
If it weren't for Qian Shi and Xiao Su Bao, my two children would probably be on the verge of death!
Su Shan originally intended to refuse Princess Emil when she brought the two children back.
Unexpectedly, the two children also adored Princess Emil, who treated them as her own children.
Su Shan is a human being, and naturally he was moved. Sure enough, even a hero can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman, and at the end of the year before last, he married Princess Emil.
Although the Queen of the Western Regions was dissatisfied, there was nothing she could do, since this daughter was her most intelligent daughter!
However, because of that previous incident, the Queen of the Western Regions had Guzali sent back directly.
These things caused quite a stir back then.
Everyone paused slightly when they saw Su Shan.
After all, Su Shan is now married to that princess, and Su Shan is different from everyone else now!
Su Shan was originally supposed to go to guard the frontier, but because of this incident, he is now staying in the capital.
"You've been so busy these past few years, you haven't seen your nephews and nieces, have you? Come on, eldest son Su Ping, second son Su An!"
Su Shan shoved her two children directly into Tang Bugui's arms.
Tang Bugui wanted to refuse, but his hands instinctively caught the two children!
This reckless man, isn't he afraid of dropping the child?
Tang Bugui rolled his eyes at Su Shan, his expression indifferent.
She's not my own daughter...
"Wow……"
Just then, the little girl in my arms burst into tears.
Tang Bugui...
Su Shan quickly picked up her daughter with heartache.
"You're all sullen, look what you've done, you've scared my daughter to tears!"
Su Shan was quite angry.
Tang Bugui coughed lightly, a rare occurrence for him.
He's a fearsome killer who can stop kids from crying when he's out there!
Being able to hold their child is already a huge improvement.
When Tang Bugui saw Xiao Su Bao, the little girl had grown up quite a bit, which was completely different from the two little ones in his arms!
Besides, this isn't even my own child...
Tang Bugui looked down at the little boy in his arms. The little guy was quiet and even showed Tang Bugui his tiny teeth when he saw him looking at him.
Before Tang Bugui could speak, he felt a slight warmth on his thigh...
Tang Bugui...
"Your son is yours!"
Tang Bugui's face was dark, and his clothes on his thighs were already soaked!
Su Shan...
It's the dead of winter, and your son has wet himself; he must be freezing.
"Go change your clothes quickly, it's so cold outside, don't catch a cold... child!"
As Su Shan spoke, he picked up his son and turned to walk skillfully toward the courtyard behind the General's Mansion.
Tang Bugui...
What a slave to kids!
My brother is hopeless!
Just then, the butler trotted over and whispered something in Tang Bugui's ear.
Tang Bugui stood up instantly, his face turning extremely ugly.
"What!" Tang Bugui, who was usually expressionless, suddenly changed his expression and looked quite alarmed!
He didn't even have time to change his clothes before striding toward the female customer.
I was stopped halfway there!
"General, you should take a bath, change your clothes, and then go over. Otherwise, people will know you've been urinated on by a child, and they might think you're..."
Ling Buqi clung to his general's clothes, refusing to let go.
Tang Bugui's face was dark, and his eyes were icy.
"Go, kick the Fan family out of here. And the Cao family's intentions aren't good either. By the way..."
"My great general, today is the fourth young master's joyous occasion, please don't cause trouble..." Ling Buqi couldn't do that, otherwise he would be causing trouble for the Tang brothers!
Tang Bugui, his face dark, turned around and went to change his clothes!
Just then, a figure emerged from the nearby woods.
She watched Tang Bugui's departing figure, then lifted her skirt and chased after him.
Although this was unexpected, she wanted to seize the opportunity.
This woman is the second daughter of the Zhou family, and she is now eighteen years old!
She was already married at her age, but the Zhou family's reputation was ruined, and the girls in the family either married far away or were unwanted by anyone.
She was determined to make an effort for herself!
As she thought about it, the light in Zhou Xiangxiang's eyes grew even more determined.
As long as I can marry Tang Bugui, those who looked down on me before will definitely think more highly of me!
Zhou Xiangxiang clenched her fists and headed in the direction Tang Bugui and the others had left!
Meanwhile, Xiao Su Bao and the others were admiring the flowers in the garden; it was still a long time before the wedding ceremony!
Just then, Xiao Su Bao frowned slightly and said to Madam Qian, "Mother, I'm going to find Father..."
Seeing the little girl's slightly anxious eyes, Madam Qian quickly nodded.
"Okay, go ahead!"
Xiao Su Bao, accompanied by two maids, walked towards the male guests.
"Why is this child calling Sister Qian 'Mom'?"
Lady Shi, the Minister of Agriculture, asked in confusion.
Seeing that everyone was looking over, Ms. Qian decided to tell them what had happened back then.
Upon hearing Qian's words, several soft-hearted ladies and young women wiped away their tears.
Thinking about the hard life that Xiao Su Bao had gone through, everyone felt even more sorry for the little girl.
"This child is so pitiful!"
Madam Shi shed tears, feeling even more disgusted by the Lan family's actions and the things Old Madam Zhou had done.
Zhou Rong was restless and anxious. She was filled with regret, wishing she hadn't come!
She had almost torn the handkerchief in her hand to shreds, but she couldn't go up and tell Madam Qian to shut up!
That's really something, Qian Shi. This isn't a good thing at all. Everyone says that family scandals shouldn't be aired in public, but why does this country bumpkin say everything that comes out of the air?
Zhou Rong was furious, but there was nothing she could do.
Just then, the voice of the wife of the Vice Minister of Works came from the side: "Madam Fan, my husband has some connections with Lord Fan. I also want to give you a piece of advice: live your own life now and don't always think about those unnecessary things, or you will end up hurting yourself and others!"
The Vice Minister of Works' wife's voice wasn't loud, but it made Zhou Rong so embarrassed that she wished she could disappear into the ground.
But Zhou Rong also knew that the words of the wife of the Vice Minister of Works were not wrong.
She whispered a thank you and then followed behind the ladies without saying a word.
On the other side, Xiao Su Bao hurriedly walked towards her father's yard.
I had only gone halfway when I saw a figure about to sneak into my father's yard.
Xiao Su Bao's expression changed slightly, and she quickly walked over.
She moved very quickly and made no sound.
"What are you doing!"
When Xiao Su Bao suddenly spoke, Zhou Xiangxiang was startled.
"I...I'm lost, I want to ask someone for directions!"
Zhou Xiangxiang said subconsciously.
Xiao Su Bao looked at Zhou Xiangxiang, and noticed that Zhou Xiangxiang and Zhou Rong were somewhat similar.
"Then I'll take you to the female guests' side!" Little Su Bao took a step back, her big eyes blinking as she looked at Zhou Xiangxiang.
Zhou Xiangxiang was now in a difficult situation.
Her expression changed slightly, and a hint of ferocity appeared in her eyes.
"good!"
Zhou Xiangxiang agreed, but in the next instant she was about to cover Xiao Su Bao's mouth.
How could Xiao Su Bao possibly give her a chance?
The little girl dodged it immediately.
Inside the house, Tang Bugui and Ling Buqi both heard the commotion outside.
Ling Buqi's expression darkened slightly. Because there were many people in his family, everyone had gone to the front yard today, leaving this area empty.
Upon hearing his daughter's voice, Tang Bugui immediately stood up from the water and prepared to go out.
"General... please don't go out. It's not appropriate for you to go out now. I'll go!"
Ling Buqi's eyes were cold.
This was the first time their family had ever hosted a banquet, and they had no idea about all those complicated things.
It is inevitable that there will be some oversights.
Tang Bugui frowned slightly, already feeling anxious.
"Su Bao is outside!"
Ling Buqi sighed, but still said, "I'll go out right away, and I'll definitely protect the little general!"
Tang Bugui nodded, then dried himself off and put his clothes back on.
"Who's making noise outside!"
Ling Buqi came out, and Xiao Su Bao rushed into his arms.
"Brother Ling!"
Zhou Xiangxiang's expression changed slightly. Ignoring everything else, she lifted her foot and was about to rush into the house behind Ling Buqi.
As long as she and Tang Bugui have skin, what can Tang Bugui do even if he doesn't want to?
With that thought in mind, she gritted her teeth and prepared to rush in.
Ling Buqi has already come out; how could we let her rush in?
Xiao Su Bao was quick as well, taking out a silver needle and sticking it into Zhou Xiangxiang's body.
Zhou Xiangxiang instantly lost all strength, her whole body feeling numb and weak.
"Ah... Help... Help me..." Zhou Xiangxiang looked into the room.
Tang Bugui had already changed his clothes and came out of the door.
Seeing her father come out, Xiao Su Bao secretly gave Zhou Xiang Xiang another nipple, and the latter felt that the tingling sensation seemed to have disappeared.
She scrambled to her feet in a disheveled state. By then, Xiao Su Bao's maid and the people sent by Madam Qian had already arrived!
They were all slightly taken aback by what they saw.
Zhou Xiangxiang lay disheveled at the doorway of the room, while Tang Bugui stood calmly to the side.
"General~" Zhou Xiangxiang looked at Tang Bugui pitifully, her voice soft and melodious, making her seem even more endearing.
only……
"Who are you? Why are you outside this general's gate?" Tang Bugui said calmly, a hint of displeasure in his eyes.
Zhou Xiangxiang's expression changed slightly, but it was too late to do anything at that moment.
She was anxious inside, but a hint of shyness appeared on her face.
She glanced pitifully at Tang Bugui, her whole demeanor exuding a gentle, refined charm, and said, "This humble girl is Zhou Xiangxiang. I got lost in the General's Mansion just now, and that's why I accidentally..."
"Zhou Xiangxiang?" Tang Bugui whispered.
Seemingly remembering something, Tang Bugui continued, "Could it be Zhou Xiangxiang from the Zhou family?"
Zhou Xiangxiang's expression changed slightly, and she clenched her fists a little, but she still nodded and said, "Exactly!"
Could it be that General Tang has also taken a liking to me?
Thinking of this possibility, Zhou Xiangxiang's eyes brightened even more, and she leaned forward slightly.
Tang Bugui, however, looked disgusted and said with a look of utter disdain, "No wonder! Someone come here!"
As soon as Tang Bugui finished speaking, Ling Buqi hurriedly stepped forward: "Go and tell the steward that from now on, no matter what kind of banquet is held at home, no one from the Zhou family is allowed to enter!"
Zhou Xiangxiang's body trembled, and her face turned deathly pale.
She tried to grab Tang Bugui's clothes, but before she could make a move, a hand reached out.
"Miss Zhou, please have some self-respect!"
Hong Qing coldly stared at Zhou Xiangxiang. If she hadn't gone to deal with Zhou Rong and the others just now, how could her great general have almost lost his innocence!
It's terrifying to even think about!
These women in the capital are so unreserved; they're not as good as the women who grew up on the frontier.
At least they'll learn about propriety, righteousness, integrity, and a sense of shame!
At least we would never sleep with a man for no reason!
Zhou Xiangxiang sensed the disgust and contempt in Hong Qing's eyes, and her face turned very ugly.
Zhou Xiangxiang took a deep breath and slowly stood up. Then, taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, she seemed to lose her footing and instantly fell down towards where Tang Bugui was.
However, Tang Bugui did not catch his move as expected!
Hong Qing grabbed her by the back of her collar and lifted her up.
"All sorts of Tom, Dick, and Harry are trying to get close to our General. Do you think you're some kind of leech?"
Hong Qing said gruffly, his eyes full of disdain.
Zhou Xiangxiang blushed at Hong Qing's words, so ashamed she wanted to bang her head against the wall.
"You...you..."
She looked at Hong Qing, wanting to say something, but the words wouldn't come out.
"Waaah, you're bullying me!"
Zhou Xiangxiang felt terrible when she thought about her future, so she simply sat there and started crying.
Just then, several ladies who were admiring the scenery walked over.
They saw Zhou Xiangxiang and the others, and were slightly taken aback.
After all, they were all prominent figures in the capital. Just by looking at Zhou Xiangxiang, they could guess what this woman was up to.
Some people despise it, while others are envious.
If this method can be used to marry Tang Bugui, even if it's a bit despicable, at least the goal will be achieved.
When Xiao Su Bao saw so many ladies arrive, and their eyes were full of calculation as they looked at her father, the little girl immediately became unhappy.
Tang Bugui sensed Xiao Su Bao's unusual behavior, but he didn't say anything. He simply reached out and hugged the little girl.
"Alright, don't be afraid!"
Little Su Bao nodded, but still held tightly to Tang Bugui's hand.
"Drive the Zhou family out of the mansion!" Tang Bugui glanced at Hong Qing and said coldly.
He had already ordered the Zhou family to be driven out, so there really weren't any Zhou family members here now.
Even Zhou Rong and the Fan family members were driven away before they even arrived because Tang Bugui had driven them away.
"You can't, General Tang. I truly only admire you, and I'm unfamiliar with the General's Mansion, which is why I accidentally wandered here. It's all fate..."
"General Tang, as long as I can stay by your side, I'm willing to be your slave!"
Zhou Xiangxiang simply ignored the other ladies and focused solely on pressuring Tang Bugui.
As long as I can stay by Tang Bugui's side and stay in this general's mansion, why should I worry that Tang Bugui won't like me in the future?
Even if she leaves now, as a daughter of the Zhou family, she won't be able to marry into a good family. Rather than that, she might as well choose for herself.
Tang Bugui's eyes were very cold and indifferent!
He looked at Zhou Xiangxiang and sneered.
"What's it to me!"
Tang Bugui was never one to passively accept his fate, much less someone who would be threatened.
When the emperor pressured him, he was so angry that the emperor had no choice but to comply. How much more so when Zhou Xiangxiang was a member of the Zhou family.
He hasn't dealt with the Zhou family since he came back. Do those people really think he doesn't know anything?
Thinking of this, the chill in Tang Bugui's eyes intensified.
Zhou Xiangxiang looked at Tang Bugui with a pitiful expression, her face filled with infatuation, and then said, "If the General does not love me, I have no choice but to... die!"
After saying that, Zhou Xiangxiang actually broke free from Hong Qing and slammed into a pillar to the side.
This shows a do-or-die spirit.
Everyone's expression changed.
"Oh dear, come quick, someone's here!"
Several ladies nearby hurriedly called for people to come over.
Madam Qian had just arrived, and upon seeing this scene, her face darkened!
Today is her son's wedding day, and this brat is going to ruin it!
If Tang Si and his wife knew about this, what if Tang Si's wife held a grudge against Tang Bugui because of this...
The Qian family was furious!
Almost simultaneously, Ling Buqi, Xiao Subao, and Mo Bao all made their moves.
Tang Bugui, however, did not even glance at Zhou Xiangxiang.
Just as Zhou Xiangxiang's head was about to hit the pillar, a voice rang out faster than they could.
That is...
Little Su Bao stared at the girl, her eyes widening in surprise.
"Sister Nuannuan!"
Little Su Bao paused for a moment, then ran even faster in the next instant.
Tang Bugui turned around at that moment, his gaze falling on Yang Nuannuan.
The little girl was wearing a grass-green dress and looked very thin, but she had grown up quite a bit compared to before.
She stood between Zhou Xiangxiang and the pillar, and was slammed hard into the chest by Zhou Xiangxiang.
Fortunately, Xiao Su Bao and the others reacted quickly enough to grab Zhou Xiang Xiang.
Even so, Yang Nuannuan's lips were still bleeding.
Tang Bugui frowned slightly, his face darkening.
"Throw her into Old Master Zhou's room and ask him if the Zhou family has a death wish!"
Tang Bugui rushed over in a few steps and hugged Yang Nuannuan tightly!
Yang Nuannuan saw Tang Bugui holding her, paused slightly, opened her mouth to speak, but instantly fainted.
Ling Buqi...
This damned fate, it's truly impossible to break free from it!
He could have hugged Yang Nuannuan, but thinking about what he had heard before, Ling Buqi was not feeling well.
Little Su Bao looked at Yang Nuan Nuan nervously, tears welling up in her eyes.
But remembering that it was her fourth brother's wedding today, the little girl managed not to cry.
Have you seen enough?
Tang Bugui looked at the ladies, his tone extremely cold.
The ladies didn't dare linger and quickly went to the courtyard.
But a sense of curiosity arose in their hearts.
After all, who knows what kind of person this little girl is that Tang Bugui cares about so much!
Could it be Tang Bugui's daughter again?
While everyone was lost in their own thoughts, Tang Bugui had already carried Yang Nuannuan into the house.
He placed the little girl on the bed and said to Ling Buqi, "Go and call the imperial physician over!"
"Forget it, let's go and fetch the imperial physician!"
Tang Bugui frowned, feeling anxious and worried for reasons he himself didn't understand.
Xiao Su Bao reached out and grabbed Yang Nuan Nuan's wrist.
"It's alright, Sister Nuannuan is fine. It's just that she was feeling depressed, and that just now she coughed up the black blood that was stuck in her chest!"
Xiao Su Bao's medical skills are quite good now.
At least for simple illnesses, there is absolutely no problem.
Wang Mingtian once said that Xiao Subao is exceptionally intelligent and a rare talent.
Tang Bugui nodded, but still gave Ling Buqi a look.
The latter went to find a doctor, and just as he reached the door, he saw his wife coming over.
"What happened? I heard something went wrong here!"
Su Ruanruan looked at Ling Buqi and couldn't help but ask.
Ling Buqi's expression was somewhat complicated. He looked at his wife, opened his mouth, but ultimately didn't say anything.
His main concern was that Mr. Wang and the anonymous person would silence him...
"The Zhou family's daughter tried to marry the general, but she was kicked out!"
After saying that, he seemed to remember something and continued, "Go and keep an eye on Aunt Qian. Today is a big day for Tang Si, so tell Aunt Qian not to worry about anything else!"
Su Ruanruan felt that her man seemed to be hiding something.
