The next morning, as soon as Tang Shiyue went out, she saw Qi Jing standing in the corridor with his hands behind his back, waiting quietly.
Tang Shiyue asked him: "Hmm?"
The corners of his mouth curved slightly.
He quite liked to see her when she just woke up in the morning, with her hair a little disheveled, her big eyes watery and misty, and her whole appearance dull, completely different from usual.
Seeing that there was no one around, he rubbed her head and said, "Last night, that person wanted to poison Wang Shiqin, but I had someone stop him and then told him to go back and tell Cui's people that it had been done. Cui will definitely not send anyone to investigate again. Let's see how they react later."
Tang Shiyue quickly cheered up and nodded: "Okay, let's go to the town first and figure things out!"
She didn't even bother to eat breakfast, and went quietly to the town with Qi Jing, where they easily met Tang Yongming.
Tang Yongming originally wanted to raise the price, but Qi Xiaolang's men held silver in one hand and a sword in the other, so there was no room for him to bargain.
So Tang Shiyue bought this secret for one thousand and two taels of silver.
Tang Yongming said: "Cui Moli came to us to ask about you. I overheard her talking to the nanny. It can't be wrong. So I'll sell it to you for two thousand taels. You won't lose anything..."
...
...
He didn't say that he overheard it because he wanted to steal Cui Moli's jewelry. When he heard it, he was really shocked.
He also thought that if he broke off his relationship with Tang Shiyue, he would never be able to get any advantage from her, but... even if they were related, they had separated a long time ago, so he couldn't take advantage of her in the first place.
As for Tang Shiyue...
She felt relieved! This was definitely a pleasant surprise!
If Wang had left with Tang Yongfu in front of everyone, she would have been almost relieved. But only now did she feel completely and totally relieved.
She is not Wang’s child!
No wonder, no wonder Wang’s attitude towards them is so strange!
This piece of news is really worth buying for two thousand taels!
So she happily informed Wang Huijin and asked him to find someone to lure Tang Yongming to lose the money as soon as possible... and the gambling house would use all its commission to treat them to drinks.
Yes, even if it's not a loss, there is still a price to pay for blackmailing her!
Because the little brother is sometimes a bad teammate, Tang Shiyue didn't tell him for the time being.
She waited to see what the Wu family was going to do with an unprecedented relaxed mood.
Two days later, I heard that Old Man Tang had returned.
Her step-grandfather, Tang Dashu, hasn't been back for more than two years. He is good at taking care of trees. In the past two years, he has been helping some nobleman take care of the pine and cypress trees in the cemetery. He doesn't even come back for the Chinese New Year. Everyone is almost forgetting about him.
Many people came to tell Tang Shiyue that when Tang Dashu came back, he was sitting in a carriage, dressed very luxuriously, and brought a lot of food and toys, which were shared by all the adults and children who came to watch the fun. It seemed that he was having a good time.
A cemetery gardener suddenly returns home, and acts as if he is returning home in glory. This is just short of having a sign saying "there is something fishy going on", right?
She felt that this idea must have been thought of by Cui, and it exuded a sense of the inner court.
Tang Shiyue waited calmly.
Sure enough, the next day, Tang Dashu came with his men.
Tang Shiyue opened the door and saw that he looked like he was going to accuse her, so she almost knew what he was up to.
So she bowed with complicated eyes and said, "Grandpa is back."
Be polite and courteous, neither humble nor arrogant.
Tang Dashu collected his expression, put on his airs as a patriarch, put his hands behind his back and nodded: "Yeah."
This attitude of his was already very good for him, but he forgot that the person in front of him was not his little granddaughter who could be squeezed and kneaded by him, but "Master Tang"!
The Jubao Village today is no longer the Jubao Village that he left. Although he has heard countless rumors, it is difficult for him to have such deep feelings immediately.
Especially since Tang Yongfu had completely disgusted everyone before, the entire Jubao Village is now in an atmosphere of "whatever the head Tang does is right, and whatever the Tang family members do is wrong". He still puts on airs, and no one can stand it.
Someone immediately asked, "Mr. Tang, what do you mean?"
"That's right! After doing all these terrible things at home, you still have the nerve to show your displeasure to Mr. Tang."
"Old man Tang, the head of the Tang family has suffered a lot of injustice. As the head of the family, you must compensate her well!"
"I don't think there's anyone reasonable in this family. Old man Tang, you've seen the world, you wouldn't be like this, would you?"
Tang Dashu was stunned by the run.
No, what did he do? Why are you talking about him one by one?
He called these people here not to support Tang Shiyue!
But Tang Dashu is old, and he is calm and composed, so he said, "Yuer, I'm sorry for putting you through so much these days."
Tang Shiyue said softly, "It's all over."
Tang Dashu couldn't respond to this, so he paused for a moment and then said, "Don't worry, now that I'm back, I won't let them mess around anymore!"
He said it logically: "It was your grandmother who was confused when the family was divided! I am not dead yet, how can I divide the family? I don't recognize this matter! You listen to grandpa, let's go find the clan leader now and put the family tree together again, and we are still a family! Let's forget about the previous things! Don't worry about it anymore!"
Tang Shiyue said slowly: "Put them together?"
She looked at him, not missing the flash in Tang Dashu's eyes.
He didn't really want to get back together, he said it out loud just to make her strongly object and then to have a conflict with her.
Tang Shiyue herself actually prefers the skill of talking nonsense, how cool it is to talk back at people! But since the other party wants to plot against her, she has to do the opposite!
Then she blinked her big eyes, tears instantly filled her eyes, and her voice was choked with sobs: "Grandpa, you... don't you know what they did..."
The little girl looked so pitiful as she tried to hold back her tears that the people around her simply couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
"Tang Dashu! How dare you say such things! Don't you see all the shit your family has done?"
"Why did you treat Mr. Tang so badly back then? Now that he's rich, you're trying to get ahead of him! How shameless!"
"That Tang Yongfu looks like a decent person, but he does nothing every day. Not only does he steal people, but he also comes to bully people..."
"That's right! Back then, Granny Sun was reluctant to give even ten taels of silver to anyone!"
"Tang Yongming is so heartless that he wants to sell the Tang family to an old man!"
"This whole family is not good! They are vicious and shameless, greedy, lustful and shameless! Let Mr. Tang go!"
Tang Dashu was so dumbfounded by these people's scolding.
Moreover, many people were cursing and pushing and shoving, wishing they could beat him up.
His original plan was to irritate Tang Shiyue, and then Tang Shiyue would strongly object, and preferably say something rude, so that whatever he did next would be natural.
In the end, the girl only said one sentence pitifully, while the others were filled with righteous indignation...
No, what does this have to do with you!
What happened to this village?
How can he continue singing this play?
Tang Dashu was not a smart person, and his tactics were completely confused: "This is our family affair!"
"We can't stand it! We can't stand your family bullying Mr. Tang!"
Tang Dashu turned to Tang Shiyue in a hurry, "Yuer, say something! Will it work or not? Will you listen to Grandpa or not?"
"Bah! I knew you would use this trick! You use your seniority to bully others!"
"That's right, Yue'er, don't be afraid! If nothing works, we'll go find the clan leader!"
"Everyone supports you! Beat him up if he's unreasonable!"
"Yes! Beat him! Beat him!!"
Tang Dashu took a step back in fear and couldn't help showing an expression of doubt about his life.
