Chapter 179 What a worrywart!
The Kong family was unwilling to let Tang Bao go, and the reason was known to both parties.
It was simply because Kong knew that her son was in the small bottle on Princess Zhaoning's waist, and she still delusionally hoped to see Cheng Huaijin again.
"Oh!" Tang Bao sighed like a little adult.
She lowered her eyes to look at the loyal maid, squatted down, and said in a voice she thought was very low: "Cheng Huaijin's ghost is too weak. If you let him come again, his soul will be torn to pieces!"
Kong, who was lying on the ground unconscious, was shaking all over and was on the verge of collapse. Then, an even more heartbreaking news came to her ears.
"Tang Baoji kept him in the soul bottle for two more days simply because he still had resentment in his heart. Out of kindness, he wanted to give him a chance to resolve it..."
The unclear baby voice was childish and straightforward, like a thunderbolt from the sky, instantly shattering the fantasies of all those who knew the situation.
The resentment has not yet dissipated?
Such a young child...
But it’s no wonder. Who wouldn’t feel resentful if this kind of thing happened to them?
Thinking of what Cheng Wenjin had hurriedly mentioned when he came in and out, that if they couldn't collect Huaijin's body and let him reincarnate peacefully, his next life would be difficult... Everyone in the yard had a solemn look on their faces.
In the middle of the yard, Mrs. Cheng, who had already learned the general situation from her husband, turned pale and pounded her aching chest twice.
If she hadn't been entangled by the old lady just now... if she could have walked faster... could she... could she have seen her poor grandson for the last time?
Her Huaijin...what a good child...how could those unscrupulous beasts have the heart to treat a child like that?!
Mrs. Cheng closed her eyes tightly, and when she opened them again, she was filled with grief and indignation. She grabbed the hem of her skirt and rushed into the house.
After greeting Tang Bao, she almost gritted her teeth, her eyes fixed on Kong who was lying on the ground, her chest heaving with anger: "What a disgrace! Why don't you get up quickly?!"
Kong still kept her eyes closed and did not move.
Madam Cheng raised her hand and pulled out the hairpin from her hair. She squatted down suddenly, and to everyone's surprise, she grabbed the hairpin and stabbed it hard at Kong's lower back!
"..." Kong shrank back in pain, and her grip on Tang Bao's ankle suddenly tightened, but she clenched her teeth tightly and didn't say a word.
Seeing her forbearing and twisted appearance, Mrs. Cheng became even more angry and annoyed.
She is clearly the principal wife who was welcomed back with great fanfare, but she spends all day imitating the behavior of that coquettish concubine!
Although she has always looked down on Kong's mother...
She had never agreed to the marriage her mother-in-law had insisted on arranging for her child...
But she admitted that her second daughter-in-law was originally a good child.
He is a man who knows how to handle affairs of state, knows when to act, and can manage the household. He is a man who can live a good life.
But ever since she gave birth to Huai Jin, she has been led further and further astray by her evil-minded mother!
Her second son, Cheng Wenjin, was a man of integrity.
After Kong came into the family, even though she was pregnant, no one ever mentioned taking a concubine for Wen Jin for fear of causing trouble for her.
But this Kong actually allowed her mother to force-feed the two maids in Wen Jin's room, who had served and grown up with him, with a sterilizing decoction!!!
Furthermore, at her mother's instigation, she would constantly make unreasonable demands on her son Wenjin, threatening him and forbidding him from even thinking of taking a concubine...
It's a pity for those two gentle and obedient little girls who don't fight or compete with each other. They are sick at such a young age and have to take bitter medicine all day long.
What a sin!!!
Seeing that Kong was still holding on to Tang Bao, Madam Cheng suddenly stood up and threw the hairpin stained with a little blood to the ground.
With a crisp sound, she looked down at Kong, her voice cold as ice as she angrily scolded:
“When asking for help, you should act like you’re asking for help!”
"You are such a grown-up, yet you throw a tantrum, pretend to be dead and play tricks with a three-year-old child, a high and mighty princess of the current dynasty...Aren't you ashamed? Are you embarrassed?" Do you want to live?
Mrs. Cheng was so angry that she felt dizzy.
"Didn't you hear Princess Zhaoning say that Huaijin still harbors resentment? If you truly care about the child and feel sorry for him, you should think carefully about what you can do for Huaijin!"
"If you can't do anything and don't want to do anything, then do as Huai Jin said—let go of everything and live a good life!"
"Don't make things difficult for everyone here and cause trouble for my Cheng family!"
After she finished speaking, Mrs. Cheng calmed down for a moment and respectfully took her leave of Tang Bao. As she turned around, she couldn't hold back her tears any longer and they fell down.
Everyone in the yard looked at each other, thinking that Princess Zhaoning had come for the Kong family, and she didn't summon everyone, so it was really inappropriate for everyone to wait here!
The various branches of the Cheng family live in harmony. Although they live in the same house, they have separated long ago and each branch manages its own affairs.
In the Cheng family, the father is kind and the son is filial, the brothers are friendly and the younger brothers are respectful, and there is no intrigue or dirty stuff between the sisters-in-law.
No matter which family the child came from, everyone in the mansion was heartbroken. Thinking that poor little Huaijin had starved to death and no one knew where his body was now... Cheng Huaijin's aunts were really sad.
Discussing...
Since ghosts and gods really do exist in this world, they should copy more scriptures and pray for little Huaijin before he is reincarnated!
In a moment, several other young ladies of the Cheng family who originally wanted to get close to little Tangbao also took their leave.
…
Xiao Tangbao glanced at the yard that was quickly becoming empty, then lowered her eyes to look at Kong who was no longer pretending to be faint and was kneeling obediently at her feet without crying or making a fuss... She wondered, why not follow her and see?
Although Cheng Huaijin can no longer be released, she can visit him from time to time... Maybe she can help Cheng Shangshu and others find Cheng Huaijin's body faster.
After all, the merit points that suddenly increased just now are quite a lot, so Tang Bao just wants to be a good person to the end!
She was also very curious. She felt that Mrs. Kong had a good relationship with her mother. Why did Mrs. Kong kill her own grandson?
She also wanted to ask Minister Cheng what they had done to the wife of the bitch Chen?
Are those two strange uncles fighting naked still alive? Are they still fighting?
There are so many questions in the little guy's head... He is really a worrying kid!
"...Alas!" The little guy looked at Kong and sighed deeply.
"Considering that you've suddenly undergone a drastic change, your behavior... Anyway, this Tangbao won't bother with you this time!"
"I'm going to chase Minister Cheng now and help you find Cheng Huaijin's body. But if there's no result within two days, then I'll leave it to fate!"
Upon hearing this, Kong suddenly looked up.
The princess agreed to help find Jin'er?
She couldn't believe her ears!
After being stunned for a moment, she kowtowed three times to Xiao Tangbao:
"My lady, you have been so kind and virtuous, I will definitely repay you with a debt of gratitude! I beg to go with you. If it is really my mother who did this, I will definitely, definitely..."
Kong hesitated.
