Chapter 72 I Don't Understand
The little girl scratched her head. Why didn’t she seem to understand?
Didn’t the maid ghost say that she saw the Third Emperor’s aunt committing adultery with someone else?
Logically speaking, the Third Uncle shouldn't be the biological son of the dog emperor, right?
Why did the scholar ghost say that the fifth uncle was not the emperor’s biological son?
It’s a mess, a complete mess!
The adult world is so complicated... Tang Bao's head hurts after listening to it!
The little guy, who didn't understand the meaning of the word "adultery", was confused for a moment.
If only the elusive Father Xi was here right now...
She wanted to ask for more details, but when she looked down, she saw that the weak soul of the scholar ghost had begun to become transparent.
Tang Bao's eyes lit up, and his scarlet lips, still stained with sugar, moved slightly. He said to the scholar ghost in a voice that only the ghosts could hear:
"It's not that I can only accumulate merit by helping you fulfill your last wishes. Since you're almost at your limit, I'll help you transcend!"
Xiao Tangbao closed his eyes and recited a few words of the mantra for rebirth, but the scholar ghost ran away without caring about him.
His remains were still scattered at the foot of the cliff, uncollected. He hadn't even witnessed Shuang'er abandon her son, divorce him, and betray her family...
He had to give her a betrothal letter and take her with him, only then would he have the nerve to meet the ancestors of the Xu family! !
"Huh? Why did he run away?" Little Tangbao hugged his arms and pouted.
She is angry!
I'm so angry!
What if he disappears outside?
Helping him to be liberated doesn't prevent Tang Bao from delivering his message?!
Hate it! She could definitely earn two points from the scholar ghost!
"What is the princess talking about? Who ran away?" Yao Ma looked in both directions and wondered why the carriage was sometimes hot and sometimes cold.
The little guy shook his head.
"Madam Yao, what does it mean by adultery?"
Aunt Yao: “…”
Is she getting old and her hearing is starting to fail?
"Tangbao, listen up! The Third Imperial Aunt committed adultery, and the Fifth Imperial Uncle is not the Emperor's biological son..."
"Shhh——" Aunt Yao quickly covered little Tangbao's mouth.
She looked out through the window with a vigilant look, then let go of her hand and whispered calmly to the two maids opposite:
"The princess pities you, so she made an exception and allowed you to ride in the carriage together. It is also because she trusts you that she speaks frankly and openly in front of you."
"You two must learn to be grateful, and even more so, be cautious and loyal at all times. You must never reveal a single word or action of Her Highness the Princess!"
"Even the most trivial matters concerning Princess Zhaoning must never be disclosed to outsiders... Do you understand?"
Zhilan and Zhimei stood up at the same time and bowed respectfully: "Don't worry, Madam. We understand."
Zhilan and Zhimei were both carefully selected by Prince Qing. Madam Yao was confident in these two little girls, but she was very worried about Tangbao.
"My little princess, where did you hear that just now? Besides this old servant, who else did you say that to?"
The little guy's brows were tightly knitted, and he looked at Aunt Yao without blinking, while his little butt moved to the side.
"Tangbao is young and not a troublemaker... that's not a good thing to hear, it's just other people's gossip!"
"Tang Bao isn't such a big mouth. He hasn't even seen what the Third Imperial Aunt and the Fifth Imperial Uncle look like. Why would he want to badmouth them to others?"
"Tang Bao asked how much money she had to send to be a nanny... Nanny misses Tang Bao so much, Tang Bao will be angry!"
"......?" Aunt Yao didn't expect that the little guy who couldn't speak clearly could argue with others with great confidence and momentum!
After hearing her say this, she felt extremely guilty.
Seeing the little guy’s mouth pouting so much that an oil bottle could be hung on it... Aunt Yao wanted to slap herself in the face, but she was afraid of scaring the three children in the car.
After thinking for a while, she quickly took out a silk handkerchief and opened it layer by layer.
After revealing the oil-paper package inside, she curled the corners of her lips slightly and squinted her eyes as she scanned the faces of the three children.
"It'll take a while to get to the Third Prince's Mansion. Can Mammy give you some candy?"
"good!"
"Thank you, Mammy!"
"One with the princess, one with Zhilan. One with the princess, one with Zhimei. One with the princess, one with Zhilan..."
After quickly distributing the candies and looking at the children with sparkling eyes, Aunt Yao did not forget to remind them: "Don't eat them all at once, otherwise I won't buy you any candy next time!"
Looking at the candy in her hand, Xiao Tangbao suddenly remembered that she had prepared a gift for Zhilan and Zhimei.
The little fellow took out two exquisite silver bracelets with lotus patterns from his arms and handed them to Zhilan and Zhimei one by one. "Zi wants you to treat Tangbao sincerely. Tangbao will never treat you unfairly in the future."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Madam Yao with some embarrassment and said sincerely, "Madam and Great-grandmother have no shortage of jewelry and gold and silver. When Tang Bao learns how to draw talismans, I will definitely draw a few more for Madam and Great-grandmother to increase their longevity and ensure their safety."
When the little guy spoke slowly, his pronunciation was much clearer.
Regardless of whether it was meant to coax her or not, these heart-warming words almost melted Aunt Yao's heart!
How could there be a girl in this world as smart, kind, beautiful and adorable as her princess?!
God, he finally narrowed his eyes and treated little Yunche kindly for once.
The carriage was filled with joy. Zhilan and Zhimei were covering each other and stuffing candy into little Tangbao's hands. Aunt Yao had a smile on her face and pretended not to know anything when she saw it.
Not long after...
With a sharp neighing of horses, the carriage suddenly flipped to one side. Just as Aunt Yao was trying her best to protect the three children...
With a loud "clang", the two wheels that had already left the ground fell heavily to the ground. The two horses pulling the carriage seemed to be out of control, broke free from the driver's control, and galloped in the other direction.
Zhilan and Zhimei didn't even need to exchange glances. They immediately hugged Tangbao tightly, one in front and one behind. They were determined to use their bodies as shields to protect their master!
Little Tangbao was so frightened by this sudden situation that his eyes instantly turned red, but he bit his lips and tried his best to hold back his tears.
Calm down, you must calm down...
If something goes wrong, it is either a man-made disaster or the work of ghosts and monsters. She cannot intervene in the affairs of the living for the time being, but she may be able to solve some other problems!
After calming down, the little girl quickly looked around. Through the half-open car door, she was shocked to see that the driver was not a human, but a scholar ghost?
How dare he joke about human life... What on earth does he want to do?
Tang Bao suddenly clenched his fist, and with a "boom", a bolt of thunder struck the scholar ghost with lightning speed.
"ah--!!"
"Save, save Shuang'er!!"
The scholar ghost raised his neck and screamed loudly, looking extremely painful. Seeing that his body was about to turn into pieces, he turned around angrily and pounced on Tang Bao.
