Chapter 74 Make a Big Profit!
"Aunt Fifth Emperor?!"
“Fifth Aunt——?”
Just as Xie took a step forward involuntarily, a sweet baby voice came into her ears.
She stopped where she was and turned sideways, and saw a round, pink-dressed girl suddenly rushing up like a little cannonball and hugging her legs.
"Aunt Wu, look at the nest. Do you recognize the cubs?" The little guy tilted his head and spoke anxiously, breathing out a puff of hot air.
???
Xie Yuanshuang's mind was in a state of chaos, but his eyes gradually became clear...
Meeting the little fellow's clear grey eyes, she took a deep breath and came back to her senses. "You are...Princess Zhaoning?"
She had heard everything that happened in the palace yesterday. She tilted her neck to the side, glanced at the little girl's feet, then quickly bent down and picked her up.
"Auntie heard that you hurt your foot last night? Does it still hurt?"
"Aunt Wu, this place is close to the river, Tang Bao is scared..."
The little guy looked pitiful. He hugged Xie's neck and rubbed his forehead against her face.
"......?" Mrs. Xie didn't react to what Tang Bao was saying.
She turned her head to look to the side following the little one's gaze, and was immediately frightened. She hurriedly carried the child in her arms and walked under the arch bridge.
Shouldn't she go to Shengtian Mansion to deal with Shu'er's affairs?
How come she not only walked to the city gate but also went up the arch bridge?
Strangely enough, no matter what season or weather, every year people fall off this seemingly harmless bridge and drown.
Therefore, even though walking on this arch bridge would reach the city gate faster, most of the time, people would rather take a detour.
After leaving the arch bridge, Xie finally breathed a sigh of relief, but the surging sadness and feeling of suffocation still made her feel uncomfortable.
I wish I could just die.
Seeing her expression changing again and again, Xiao Tangbao felt very anxious and worried...
"Why is Fifth Aunt so upset?"
"Is it because of Brother Hanzhang and Sister Shuer?"
The little guy lowered his head as he spoke.
"I'm sorry, Fifth Auntie. It was Tangbao who caused Brother Hanzhang to be driven out of the Imperial City by the Emperor..."
"It was Tangbao's appearance in the palace that caused Sister Shu'er and Brother Hanzhang to have a falling out..."
"If Tang Bao hadn't entered the palace, Brother Han Zhang and Sister Shu'er might not have caused Auntie so much sadness..."
Xie was stunned.
"How could the princess think so? Your sister Shu'er has never liked your brother Hanzhang. They will have a quarrel sooner or later. It's not the princess' fault."
"Besides, your brother Han Zhang, no matter what the reason, he shouldn't have disregarded human life, not to mention that he even wanted to harm his own sister. The consequences he has now are all what he deserves for his own evil deeds."
"The ice is three feet thick, and it didn't freeze overnight. The reason why Aunt is sad and completely disappointed in them is definitely not just because of one or two things."
As Xie spoke, her gaze, which had begun to wander again, involuntarily fell on the arch bridge again, and slowly moved towards the water...
"As for being unable to let go... Haha, life is precious. Auntie won't give up her life for anyone."
"..." Listening to her tone and looking at her expression, Xiao Tangbao was still worried.
She touched the soul bottle at her waist and whispered in Xie's ear:
"Aunt Wu, Tang Bao is telling you secretly..."
"The man who secretly engaged my aunt, he asked me to tell you that on the day you agreed to run away from home, he was pushed off a cliff and died. He didn't break the promise on purpose!"
"He's still nagging. The Fifth Imperial Uncle is not the Emperor's biological son. If you don't divorce, you'll die!"
"?" Xie's eyes darkened slightly.
Although she didn't have deep feelings for Yun Yi...but when had she ever secretly decided to spend her life with someone?
I never thought that such words that would destroy someone's reputation would come from the mouth of a three-year-old child! ! ?
Xie should have been furious, but when she saw the sincere eyes and serious expression of the child in her arms, she could not express any anger!
Frowning at the adorable little girl, she suppressed her anger and said, "Auntie has had strict family rules since she was young, and until now, she has never dated a man outside of her family. How can you say that she is secretly getting married to someone?"
"Princess, tell me who is gossiping with you and ruining my reputation?"
“…” Tang Bao was stunned.
"He said he was a retainer of the Yongping Marquis's Mansion, and his name was Xu Kui."
"He was really worried about Auntie. Knowing that Tang Bao could see ghosts, he came to Tang Bao to tell her."
"Just now, he was so anxious to ask Tang Bao to rescue Auntie that he almost overturned Tang Bao's carriage. Aunt Yao, Zhilan, and Zhimei were all terrified!"
Xie looked in the direction the little girl pointed, and she really saw Yao Ma beside the empress dowager.
She also noticed that Aunt Yao's forehead seemed to be injured?
The two nodded to each other. Xie was not curious about why Yao Ma, who rarely appeared in public, left the palace.
She only complained in her heart: What ghost is there? How is it possible? Besides, even if there really are ghosts in this world, how can such a chubby little girl withstand them?
Hearing Xiao Tangbao say that she could see ghosts, the evil ghost that had been hiding under the bridge suddenly floated out.
He was shrouded in a thick black aura, his hair was disheveled, his clothes were soaked, and there was water grass wrapped around his ankles.
The drowned ghost floated on the river with his head hung down and his hands hanging down, staring at Xiao Tangbao coldly and without blinking.
Tick-tick...drops of water kept falling from his body, but there was no sound and no splashes could be seen.
The little girl saw that Mrs. Xie didn't believe her... She had long been used to it and she was not angry at all.
She has always been smart, and with her mother's example, Tang Bao knew that the reason why Fifth Aunt didn't believe in Tang Bao was not because Tang Bao was not good...
It was because even if she believed that ghosts existed in the world, she didn't believe that Tang Bao could see ghosts.
The little guy looked at the evil ghost with bad intentions on the river, and his head went "ding".
She has an idea!
Fifth Aunt and Mother seem to have similar personalities. Why doesn't she use the same method she used to persuade Mother to persuade Fifth Aunt?
Tang Bao wanted to save Xie so much that she completely forgot her father's instructions. She leaned over to Xie's ear and whispered:
"Aunt Wu, Tang Bao can not only see ghosts, but also thunder!"
"Auntie, look at the river, don't blink..."
The sound falls...
With a loud "bang", thunder suddenly struck from the sky, splitting the drowned ghost in half.
"Did Auntie believe it?"
"If you don't believe me, Tang Bao will give you another one."
The next moment...
Boom!!
Another bolt of thunder struck the drowned ghost again.
Invisibly, a black smoke rose and dispersed. The drowned ghost who originally wanted to drag Tang Bao and Xie into the water was reduced to ashes before he could do anything.
A "whoosh whoosh" sound quickly echoed in Xiao Tangbao's head. Her merit points had risen again! !
Wherever there are bad ghosts, there must be ghosts who died unjustly. Xiao Tangbao suddenly had an idea, closed his eyes and began to recite the mantra for rebirth.
As the scriptures were chanted over and over again, the merit points in the little guy's head increased rapidly at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye.
Oh my god...I made a lot of money on this!
