But She’s So Charming - Chapter 28

King Ying sat in the main hall, and after giving Tang Qingfeng and the Li family a seat, he asked General Cao to bring Tang Wu.

Lee sits in the back seat on the left side of the main hall.

She has a sallow complexion, looks pretty old, her eyes are slightly sunken, and she has some lines on her forehead. She wore a large-breasted female jacket of aqua-blue fabric and combed a bun. From sitting down, she kept looking at the furnishings in the room, and her hands were fold up and down. It could be seen that she was both nervous and excited.

Tang Qingfeng sat in the head seat on the left side of the main hall.

His face is red, white silk still appears in his hair, and a pair of peach eyes are piled up with a few smile lines. He is dressed in a brown jacquard satin male robe, and a seed-embroidered waist bag is hung on his waist, which can be seen by a discerning person. Come out, this is a romantic master. But since he entered the door, he was still talking about etiquette, at least before King Ying gave a seat, he knelt on the ground and didn’t move.

King Ying rubbed the Buddha beads in his hand, one by one, until he saw Tang Wu’s beautiful figure, before he stopped.

Following King Ying’s gaze, Li turned her head. She hadn’t seen Tang Wu for five years. Seeing that she was so slender and graceful, she was actually a “daughter” who had been prepared in advance and never called out. .

She secretly sighed in her heart for the nurturers of the water and soil in the capital, such a beautiful woman, no one in Suzhou can be seen.

Li covered his face with his hands, his emotions gradually rose, he bowed, and walked towards Tang Wu step by step.

Regardless of whether Tang Wu was willing or not, she just stepped forward and held her hand, and shouted very sadly, “My son.”

Tang Wu didn’t think that Dao would see Li here, so he involuntarily took two steps back. Li’s call was like a basin of cold water poured on Tang Wu…

Tang Wu looked at Li in a daze, and then at Tang Qingfeng, who was slowly getting up. As he looked at each other, the memories of the past, like a biting cold wind, roared towards her… …

Tang Qingfeng had never cared about this daughter. Now that he saw a real person, he completely believed the rumors in the shop. With her face, let alone being taken into the palace, he thought it would be enough to enter the palace to serve the emperor.

He walked over and looked at Tang Wu lovingly and said, “You child, how come you see your mother without saying hello?”

Li saw Tang Wu’s alienation, so he suddenly fell to his knees and cried loudly, “I’m just such a child, she doesn’t recognize me, she doesn’t recognize me…”

In normal times, if anyone dared to be so presumptuous in the main hall of Sui’antang, General Cao had long asked Xiaosi to drag people out, but this was Aunt Tang’s mother-in-law, and her Highness hadn’t spoken yet, so naturally no one dared to stop it.

Tang Qingfeng’s Yuguang saw the contemptuous gaze of the minion on the side, and seemed to realize that Li’s cry was really louder, so he lightly tapped the root of her thigh with the toe of her shoe, and yelled in a very low voice. : “You die woman, keep your voice down!”

Li had already been taught by Tang Qingfeng to say that he didn’t dare to say anything. His voice only fell, and her cry changed from a crowing rooster to a magpie on the treetop.

At this time, King Ying gave Manager Cao a wink and motioned him to help the woman in front of him.

Following General Cao’s actions, Tang Wu felt that her last dignity was exhausted by their shamelessness, and she didn’t even dare to look at His Highness’s eyes.

She is afraid that the favor that still existed in his eyes yesterday will be vanished today…

From the moment her parents found her, she knew that her nightmare had come back.

In order to ask for money and land, they can do everything, and they don’t care about her life or death.

If her father enters the flower house in the capital with a fascination, and drinks some more wine, he might even boast that he is his Royal Highness’s Yue Zhang.

Tang Wu smiled bitterly, saying that God often played with the children of the world between the palms of her arms, and she believed it now.

But she didn’t understand why her luck was so bad!

Tang Wu moved slowly to the side of the Li family, nodded and knelt down, and said to King Ying one by one: “The concubine body has lost his parents from the moment he became a low-ranking citizen. If he hadn’t redeemed his concubine himself by himself Come, my concubine has long died outside.”

After Tang Wu said this, Li didn’t hesitate to cry. She turned around and took out the baggage under the chair, and took out a lot of things from it.

She handed it to King Ying and respectfully said: “His Royal Highness, please see, this is Wu’er’s long-life hundred-year-old lock. This is the flower beanie that she wore when she was a child. Oh, yes, there is also her birthday card. Your Majesty, please see, this is also engraved with the word “Wu”. Since Wuer left home, the old man has not dared to touch these things anymore, because I am afraid of seeing things and thinking about people, and can’t sleep at night! Now…”

“Shut up!” Tang Wu’s eyes were red, and she twitched: “According to Dayan’s law, even if you sell your daughter to the high gate mansion as a slave, you can still know where I am, you If you still have a hint of me in your heart, you won’t sell me to the capital without asking! Do you know how far Suzhou is from the capital! Do you know how I came here over the years!”

After speaking, the mist still wandering around her eyes suddenly turned into rain.

In this world, only she knows how she survived.

In the past few years, the sky was dark and the wind was bitter, but in her hand, she had never even had an oil-paper umbrella.

At this time, Tang Qingfeng came over, and he patted Tang Wu on the shoulder and said: “In those years, your grandmother was in poor health, and she needed money to treat her illness, and the family sold everything that could be sold. My father is really okay. , I had to treat you badly. Last month your grandmother left, I could find you in Suzhou. After hearing that you were in the capital, your mother and I came here. You were young when you left home, and you blame your father , Father doesn’t blame you either.

Speaking of grandmother, Tang Wu felt even more desperate.

When she was a child, it was not that she had never been close to that grandmother, but her grandmother never smiled at her. Grandmother always looked at her squintly and asked why she was not a son, and why she wanted to lose money.

Gradually, she no longer dared to enter grandmother’s room…

At this time, King Ying’s gaze fell on the tokens presented by the Li family. This long-lived one-hundred-year-old lock is a hollow iron and worthless. The flowery beanie is also an object of ordinary people, but this is the only thing. The birthday card… is not an ordinary vulgar thing.

He placed the square “Wu” plate in his palm and repeatedly weighed it.

This piece of wood is a good thick rhinoceros. The sawdust from this thing is a good medicinal material. It is many times better than ginseng, and it has a life-saving effect, so it is invaluable.

Not to mention the homes of ordinary people in Suzhou, you can go through the capital, and you can’t find a few dollars. And even after it turned it out, no one was willing to use it to engrave a child’s birthday. Because this is a tribute from the country of Chongqing after his father had fought against the country.

Originally, this thing should only be available to the noble family that has been rewarded, but because the two countries were still doing business in the past few years, there are indeed wealthy families in the private sector who have bought it at a high price.

But what happened to the Tang family, he had already known in his heart. Tang Qingfeng was addicted to gambling, and was already in debt. If they were willing to sell a brand, it wouldn’t be a problem to buy a few houses and shops.

They didn’t do this, and there was only one reason.

They don’t recognize this thing.

Tang Qingfeng saw that King Ying hadn’t spoken for a long time, and saw that his daughter was determined not to recognize him, so he pointed at Tang Wu again: “Did you enter the palace and enjoy the blessing, so you think we are ashamed of you? After finishing speaking, he rolled up his cuffs and pointed to the blood vessels on his wrists and said: “I tell you! You are my biological daughter of Tang Qingfeng. The so-called broken bones are connected to the tendons. You and me are connected by blood. You don’t recognize me. Is it to cast a reputation for unfilial piety!”

Tang Qingfeng sang red face, and Li came to sing white face. Regardless of her, she hugged Tang Wu and cried again: “Wu’er, mother gave birth to you so hard, and it took you all day and night to give birth to you. If you blame your mother, your mother is really uncomfortable. Don’t listen to your father. Nonsense, in fact, he has been talking about you all these years.”

King Ying saw that Tang Wu was unable to say a word of her good parents, so he said at this moment: “You have come all the way, and it’s hard work all the way. I don’t know how long the two elders want to stay in the capital?”

Seeing that King Ying had spoken, Li immediately got up on his knees and straightened up, “His Royal Highness, our husband and wife are just such a daughter. We finally found her… I really want to look at it more, even if it’s forgive her. Good time…”

This is blunt enough, and he clearly doesn’t plan to leave.

King Ying gave Manager Cao a look, and then Manager Cao carried a box to the Tang family.

Tang Qingfeng took it, holding it back, and slowly said, “Dare to ask Your Royal Highness, what is this?”

“The king thinks that since your family is in Suzhou, there must be no place to live in the capital. Here are the things that the king just prepared for you, so take it.”

Tang Qingfeng slowly opened it, and when he saw the thick pile of things inside, he immediately widened his eyes.

Inside, there is more than one house, this title deed, shop, and a thick stack of silver bills under the bottom…

Tang Qingfeng and Li’s hands couldn’t stop shaking, and they couldn’t help grinning out of their mouths even after they thanked each other.

This is really making a fortune…

They never dreamed that this cheap daughter would have such a big effect!

“There has been a famine outside recently, and the capital has not stopped. This king will send some people to follow you in a while, so that some disasters will not affect you.” King Ying said again.

Such intimate remarks caused Li’s tears to burst into tears, and she was even more reluctant to let go of Tang Wu’s hand.

“It’s getting late, and if you delay it, it will be dark. Why don’t you take the two of the servants to see the house first?” Director Cao bowed.

Tang Qingfeng and Li’s had already got what they wanted, so they didn’t bother to act in the next scene. After thanking them again, they got up and walked towards the door with Manager Cao.

But their front feet have not yet crossed Sui’antang.

Seeing King Ying overturned all the tables on the side to the ground, a set of fine white porcelain tea sets was broken to the ground.

He stared at Tang Wu, without a hint of warmth in his voice: “You give this king to kneel in the ancestral hall. You are not allowed to eat for the first three days. If this king does not let you come out, you will stay inside and never have to come out.”

Hearing this, Tang Qingfeng and Li didn’t dare to get out of the air, they just buried their heads and walked away without hearing them.

But Tang Wu, who was kneeling on the side, was frightened. She didn’t dare to lift her head. She didn’t even dare to ask him for forgiveness if something like this happened.

“Concubine… Concubine body, yes… Excuse me…” She was really uncomfortable now, and her heart seemed to have broken a hole…

She had no thoughts at this time, she just felt that her eyes were getting whiter, whiter and whiter…

At this time, the sound of footsteps outside just disappeared.

King Ying saw that there was something wrong with her, so he quickly supported her head with his eyesight and hands, so that she didn’t let her fall straight back.

Before Tang Wu closed his eyes, his pupils shrank slightly, what he saw was an anxious expression in his eyes.
