Chapter 432 Composed and dignified, you are a princess of the Great Shang Kingdom, not…
The emperor's expression changed slightly, and he rubbed his temples.
"Composed, dignified, you are a princess of the Great Shang Kingdom, not..."
The emperor couldn't help but mutter to himself, but when he saw his daughter's bald head, he didn't say anything more.
Never mind, never mind, as long as my daughter is alright, that's better than anything else!
Thinking of something, the emperor sighed and looked at Princess Chang'an with a resentful expression.
However, Princess Chang'an never saw her biological father.
"Mother, something terrible has happened! Someone just discovered that there seems to be a type of white stone among those meteorites that we don't recognize!" Princess Chang'an said to the Empress, then looked at Tang Bugui.
"Brother Tang, hurry up and let's go take a look! That stone is incredibly beautiful and extremely hard, even harder than a diamond!" Princess Chang'an exclaimed excitedly.
Princess Chang'an looked at the two of them and suddenly felt that something was wrong!
Then, the little princess squinted and looked at her father.
My mother has always been gentle and virtuous, but my father is different. He is unpredictable and likes to cause trouble!
Could it be that Father has offended his little benefactor?
"Daddy, are you bullying Su Bao?" After half a day, the heartless little girl finally remembered her old father.
But when he said those words, the old father wasn't in a good mood...
"What? I bullied Su Bao? Am I that kind of person?" The emperor glared angrily at his daughter, then couldn't help but glance at little Su Bao in Tang Bugui's arms.
They're both daughters, so why is there such a big difference?
“We’re both fathers, but look at Brother Tang and then look at you. Do you even look like a father? The difference is so huge!” Princess Chang’an said, shaking her head at her father.
emperor……
"Wife, don't stop me! I'm going to give that rebellious daughter a good beating, spank her bottom really hard!" the emperor roared, gripping the empress's hand tightly with one hand.
Seeing them making a fuss, Tang Bugui wisely picked up the reluctant little Su Bao and left.
The little baby wanted to see her mother, but couldn't at the moment.
"Be good, trust Grandma, she won't keep you waiting too long!" the Empress said as Xiao Su Bao and the others left.
The little dumpling's eyes lit up instantly; at that moment, she finally felt relieved.
She was willing to wait as long as she could see her mother.
Not far from the door, Madam Qian was standing there. Although the sun was already quite strong, Madam Qian was still gazing intently at Xiao Su Bao.
"Mother!" Little Su Bao called out to Madam Qian.
Qian came over and took the child from Tang Bugui's arms.
"Have you been obedient and listened to your grandmother?" Madam Qian asked in a low voice.
When she heard that Xiao Su Bao had called a woman "mother," her first reaction was that something was wrong.
After all, Xiao Su Bao's mother is dead, and suddenly someone who looks similar appears, who knows what the situation will be like.
and……
Ms. Qian was genuinely worried about Xiao Su Bao, fearing that the little dumpling had been deceived and that she would be sad.
I'm even more worried that she won't be able to handle it.
Qian Shi had been standing there waiting since they entered, while Wang Xiuer and Sun Cuihua quietly stood guard on either side of her, their eyes filled with worry.
“Su Bao, you have no idea, my eyes were red just now. I’ve never seen you cry more than a few times since I got married…” Wang Xiuer came over and quickly spoke to little Su Bao.
The little girl was slightly taken aback and subconsciously looked at her mother.
Sure enough, Qian's eyes were slightly red.
"Mama~" the little dumpling called out, the little one hugging Qian tightly and refusing to let go.
Madam Qian took a deep breath and said to Xiao Su Bao, "It's alright, it's alright. Your second sister-in-law was just talking nonsense. Mother didn't cry!"
"I didn't. If you don't believe me, Su Bao, ask your sister-in-law!"
Wang Xiuer looked at Qian Shi with a wronged expression, and then pulled Sun Cuihua over.
Helpless, Sun Cuihua looked at her mother-in-law, then at her second sister-in-law, and then said to Xiao Su Bao, "It's getting late, Su Bao, go to sleep first!"
Wang Xiuer was about to speak when Sun Cuihua tugged at her hand, causing her to reluctantly withdraw her hand.
But she still looked at Xiao Su Bao with longing eyes: "Su Bao, are you tired? Let your second sister-in-law make you something..."
"Second daughter-in-law, don't cause trouble, go back to sleep!" Madam Qian couldn't stand her daughter-in-law anymore and couldn't help but say to Wang Xiuer.
“Ah… Mother…” Wang Xiuer’s eyes widened, wanting to speak, but she ultimately shut up.
The main problem was that my mother was stepping on my toes, and it hurt...
"Mother will take Su Bao to bed. Second son's wife, since you can't sleep, go to the backyard and check on Steward Bai and the others. Steward Bai is more obedient than you!"
Thinking of Steward Bai, and then looking at Wang Xiuer, Qian felt a headache coming on again.
Wang Xiuer was unwilling, but she had no choice!
Even with parents who are completely unreasonable, they still insist that I listen to my mother-in-law...
"Second sister-in-law..." Just then, Xiao Su Bao suddenly called out to Wang Xiu'er.
Ms. Qian was taken aback, and her heart jumped into her throat.
She grabbed Wang Xiuer's hand, not daring to let her leave.
"What's wrong, Su Bao?" Madam Qian looked at little Su Bao anxiously, her eyes filled with worry.
"Second Sister-in-law, could you... not go out?" Xiao Su Bao looked at Wang Xiu'er and said in a low voice.
Madam Qian was taken aback, then tightly gripped Wang Xiuer's hand and said, "Alright, we won't go anywhere!"
Wang Xiuer also tensed up almost immediately.
"Don't worry, Su Bao, even if the sky falls, your second sister-in-law won't step out of this door!" Wang Xiuer said solemnly, her expression even more serious than before.
Little Su Bao hesitated, but in the end, she didn't say anything.
Mrs. Qian noticed this and assumed it was because the little dumpling had sensed something again.
She and Sun Cuihua, who had been standing silently to the side, quickly pulled Wang Xiuer into the house.
"From now on, Cuihua, you keep an eye on the second son's wife. If she kicks you out, you break her legs!" Madam Qian said solemnly, a hint of determination in her eyes.
Before Xiao Su Bao could speak, she heard Sun Cuihua solemnly say, "Mother, don't worry!"
Wang Xiuer, standing to the side, also said earnestly, "Mother, don't worry, if these two legs want to get out, I'll break them myself!"
Madam Qian breathed a slight sigh of relief upon seeing Wang Xiuer's appearance.
Little Su Bao looked at them, but swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
Wang Xiuer, supporting her barely noticeable belly, sat quietly on the kang (a heated brick bed).
Little Su Bao glanced outside, thought for a moment, and then hugged Qian Shi's neck tightly: "Mom, shall we go out and take a look?"
Little Su Bao's voice was so soft that Qian couldn't refuse.
More importantly, she also wanted to see what was happening outside.
Has the volcano fully erupted? And what is the situation with these meteorites?
Mrs. Qian sighed, picked up the little baby, and walked out.
When she came out, her lips twitched slightly. There were several stones that had appeared where they had just been standing.
The main thing is that the stone fell without making a sound.
If they hadn't moved quickly, they probably would have been hit directly by these stones.
Qian gasped and glanced at Xiao Su Bao instinctively.
The little dumpling wrapped its arms around Qian's neck, making it impossible for the latter to see its own face.
"Where does Su Bao want to go?" Madam Qian asked in a low voice.
Little Su Bao raised her head, glanced outside, and then asked, "Su Bao wants to go through the back door, is that okay?"
Ms. Qian nodded and carried Xiao Su Bao to the back door.
More than fifty years ago, when the Tang family moved here from Beijing, they built a house here.
At first, the Tang family had quite a bit of money and manpower; they could have been local tycoons.
But the Tang family was also unlucky; their money was stolen or robbed.
In the end, if the old man hadn't taken the initiative to start farming with his family, they probably wouldn't have been able to make ends meet.
They had just arrived in the backyard when, despite the overcast and dark sky, they could still see the huge piles of stones at the entrance and the empty spaces in the yard.
From here you can see the extinct volcano—no, it should be called an active volcano.
Black smoke billowed from the mountain pass, along with an orange-red glow, as if it could paint the world with fresh colors at any moment.
Little Su Bao withdrew her gaze and turned her eyes to the little turtle that was being held down in the corner.
The little turtle looked pitiful, and when it saw Little Su Bao, it made a sound that was almost inaudible.
"Mother, put me down!" Little Su Bao said to Madam Qian.
However, Madam Qian only hugged her even tighter.
Let alone putting it down, they have become extremely cautious at this moment.
“No, there are too many small stones here. Where do you want to go? I’ll take you!” Madam Qian said seriously, a strange look in her eyes.
Little Su Bao had no choice but to point to a stone next to a pile of firewood.
Mrs. Qian carefully carried the little baby over.
Then I saw the little green turtle.
"Why is this little darling here?" Madam Qian was taken aback for a moment, but then picked up the stone and put it aside before picking up the little turtle underneath and handing it to Xiao Su Bao.
The little dumpling looked at the little green turtle's tail and little feet, which were pressed down and looked a bit flat.
"Hoo hoo... Little Greenie, it doesn't hurt..." The little dumpling blew on the little green turtle's feet and tail.
The little green turtle stretched out its head and suddenly bit Xiao Su Bao's finger.
"Oh my, you damned green turtle, what are you doing!" Qian was startled and almost snatched the little green turtle away and threw it to its death.
In that instant, Madam Qian forgot all about Xiao Lü's origins and only wanted to protect Xiao Su Bao.
Little Su Bao grabbed Little Green in her hand.
Feeling a slight pain and the sensation of skin breaking at her fingertips, the little dumpling blinked.
"Little Green is naughty..."
Suddenly, Xiao Su Bao thought of something, pinched Xiao Lü's head with her little hands, and stared at the little milk dumpling with her big black eyes.
Look closely, and you'll see two tiny, sharp teeth inside Little Green's mouth, seemingly stained with a trace of blood...
Mrs. Qian quickly pulled Xiao Su Bao's hand and came over to take a look.
Fortunately, the little dumpling's hands had no wounds and looked very clean, though a little rough.
Mrs. Qian breathed a sigh of relief before looking at the little green turtle.
"Mommy, don't be angry, Su Bao doesn't hurt. Shall we take Xiao Lü inside?" Xiao Su Bao pinched Xiao Lü's head and pulled it to look at Qian Shi.
Qian's lips twitched slightly before she nodded.
However, when I looked at Xiao Lü, I couldn't help but feel uneasy.
Is this little turtle really related to that Black Tortoise?
Mrs. Qian sighed, but said nothing more.
Meanwhile, on the other side, the nameless old Taoist priest lying on the Bai family's bed suddenly opened his eyes.
He glanced around and realized that his beloved Bai Jie was gone.
He sighed, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
He put on his clothes and hurriedly went outside.
Unexpectedly, just as he reached the doorway, a huge rock crashed down right in front of him.
He quickly took a step back, too afraid to go out.
This damned fate is watching me!
The old Taoist priest grabbed his hair, his face full of frustration.
If he could, he would definitely have come all the way here.
Even if I wanted to run away now, I couldn't!
A hint of helplessness crossed his face as he looked outside.
Bai Yinjun woke up groggily and was about to urinate when he sensed something was wrong.
When he regained consciousness, he discovered that the outhouse was gone...
If he had moved forward just a fraction of an inch, his little brother might have been in grave danger!
Bai Yinjun shuddered and instantly came to his senses.
"Grandma, run! It's raining rocks from the sky!" Bai Yinjun shouted, then turned and ran.
I had only taken a couple of steps when suddenly something grabbed my foot!
His expression changed, and he almost stomped on the thing that was grabbing him.
"Help..." The young Taoist priest Song Yun's face was covered in blood as he struggled to reach out his hand.
Bai Yinjun's first reaction was to kick him in the face. By the time he realized what was happening, Song Yun had already passed out.
Bai Yinjun's expression changed slightly, and he quickly pulled the person up.
Just as the two left, another rock fell from their house, landing right where they had just left.
If Bai Yinjun had arrived any later, he probably would have only seen Song Yun's corpse.
The nameless old Taoist priest's lips twitched slightly, and he raised his head to look at the roof.
I might as well just lie back down and go to sleep!
Damn it, he can't go out or get involved in this situation.
On the other side, Wang Mingtian's entire house was completely sealed off by densely packed stones.
Even the roof was weighed down by stones!
Wang Mingtian opened his eyes and glanced at it, then fell silent again.
He sighed, but ultimately made no further move.
Outside, Xiao Su Bao, Qian Shi, and everyone in the village were asleep.
The group gathered their stones together, and some people went to help others.
The stones in front of the Tang family's door were finally removed. Tang Cheng and the others were covered in sweat and looked extremely exhausted.
"Dad, you're not good enough!" Tang Sanbao stood not far away, sitting on a rock, and muttered to himself as he glanced at his father.
Tang Qi, who had just been working, twitched at the corner of his mouth and glared at his son with annoyance.
He was about to speak when he saw the Lin family members, and the words he was about to say remained unspoken.
The place where Grandpa Lin and his family lived was relatively remote, so they encountered fewer crises.
"Fourth brother, third brother, you two go and tally up the casualties for each family. Second brother, go check the fields..."
He then looked at his son, paused, and said, "Dabao, you and Erbao are fast runners, go to the riverbank and be careful not to fall."
"What about me?" Sanbao looked pitifully at his uncle, feeling that he was useful too!
Tang Cheng glanced at his nephew, who reeked of stench, and paused. "You can go too, but don't go into the water. If you pollute the water, I'll beat you to death!"
Tang Sanbao's expression changed slightly, and he couldn't help but look at his uncle with a wronged expression.
Am I the kind of unreliable person?
Thinking about this, he felt even more wronged.
"I understand!" he said, and followed after him.
Fu Manduo and Lin Qiqi exchanged a glance, remained silent for a moment, and then followed.
Princess Chang'an, who had just come out of the courtyard, saw the two little girls running away and subconsciously followed them.
We should be able to play together!
Tang Cheng watched this scene, his lips twitching slightly. He looked up at the sky and sighed, vaguely feeling that his family seemed to have become somewhat... different!
Emperor, Empress, Princess, Prince, and General...
He took a deep breath, then turned around and went to work!
Why think so much? This is all he can do right now!
As dawn broke, sunlight streamed down.
However, just as dawn broke, the thick smoke from the volcano suddenly disappeared!
In an instant, the flames reappeared and burned, creating an atmosphere of extreme terror.
"Sigh..." Tang Cheng narrowed his eyes, a hint of worry in his heart.
"My father told me to tell you that he wants all those stones!" The Third Prince walked out of the Tang family home with a dark face.
It's clear that the Third Prince isn't in a good mood.
"Oh, yes!" Tang Cheng nodded in agreement, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
At this moment, Tang Si and Tang Shan returned, and they seemed to be in a relatively good mood.
“There were no deaths, only two people who were accidentally injured in the middle of the night. One was the young Taoist priest Song Yun, and the other was Da Ya’s father!” Tang Si said to his older brother.
Tang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and then said, "Have everyone bring their stones over!"
Tang Si and Tang Qi both heard the Third Prince's words and immediately nodded.
Seeing their expressions, the Third Prince seemed to have thought of something: "Don't worry, you won't suffer any losses in this matter!"
Tang Cheng still believed in such things, after all, Tang Bugui was there.
"Thank you, Third Young Master, thank you, Master Huang!" Tang Cheng said.
"Hmm!" the Third Prince responded and was about to leave when the Second Prince put his arm around his shoulder.
"Third Prince, come on, let your brother take you to have some fun!" The Second Prince narrowed his eyes and, without saying another word, led the Third Prince outside.
The third prince's face was gloomy, but he did not let go in the end.
On the other side, Lin Shuyu woke up.
Her heart sank slightly, but she quickly regained her composure.
"What is your purpose in approaching General Tang? Should you tell me, or should I make you tell me?" the female guard said coldly, a hint of icy glint in her eyes.
"I...I don't know what you're talking about!" Lin Shuyu said pitifully, curled up in her arms.
"Is that so?" The female guard was about to speak when a familiar voice came from behind her.
"I'll do it!"
The female bodyguard was slightly taken aback and subconsciously turned her head to look over.
A figure slowly appeared.
Lin Shuyu's expression changed slightly.
