Returnee in Jianghu - C42

“Brother Ming, Brother Ming, what happened between you and Sister Hong Ying?” Tang Rou was pestering Tang Ming not to let go. Tang Ming’s ears were completely red, but he still calmly replied: “Not bad.”

Tang Rou’er puffed up her gills: “What do you mean okay? Hey, Brother Ming, your peach blossoms have all withered. I’ll help you pick a new one.”

Tang Ming quickly took hold of Tang Rou’er’s outstretched hand. Tang Rou’er raised her head in confusion: “What’s wrong?”

“No, there’s no need to change it.” Tang Ming tilted his head as his eyes drifted around, “This, this was given to me by Miss Red Cherry.”

“Oh — it was given to me by Big Sister Red Cherry.” Tang Rou’er had an ambiguous look on her face as she suddenly broke free from Tang Ming’s grasp. Tang Ming was completely unable to stop Tang Rou from suddenly having a good time: “Third Uncle and Third Aunt, aiyo, who is it?”

“It’s me.” Her indifferent voice almost scared Tang Rou’er out of her wits. She shrank back her neck: “Five …” “Fifth aunt.”

“Yes.” Tang Ning’s sharp eyes looked at Tang Ming. His body carried a trace of self-confidence even though he wasn’t angry, but when he looked at Tang Ming, his gaze became gentler: “Why are you so careless? Your uncle is also unreliable, actually bringing you to the edge of the cliff to play.”

“It’s my nephew’s lack of proficiency that’s worrying everyone.” Let alone Tang Rou’er, even Tang Ming couldn’t help but be scared witless by Tang Ning’s eyes.

“Yes.” After Tang Ning’er finished speaking, the three fell silent. In the end, Tang Qing, who had hurried over, resolved the awkward silence. “Fifth Sister, you came back without telling us anything.”

“Third brother.” Tang Ning looked at Tang Qing, then at Chu Junlan. He nodded. “Third Sister.”

“Ning returned. Didn’t they say he just returned in May?” Chu Junlan looked at Tang Ning worriedly, “Did something happen?”

“I heard something happened tomorrow, so I rushed over.” Downing paused, then said, “I entrust the matters over there to someone trustworthy to manage. It’s fine.”

“I’m fine.” Tang Qing sighed, “You don’t have to be so tired. It’s good to be like Rou Er.”

Tang Ning pursed his lips but didn’t say anything.

Just like Tang Rou was the only girl in Tang Ming’s generation, Tang Ning was also the only girl in Tang Qing’s generation. She was supposed to be a pampered girl, but because her family didn’t pay attention to her, she developed a competitive personality.

If it wasn’t for the accident with Tang Ming, who knew how long it would take Tang Qing to see her fifth sister.

“You’ve been worn out from the journey, and you’re tired. Your room is always tidied up, and no one has touched any hot springs. Go and soak in the hot tub to relieve your fatigue.” Tang Qing didn’t make things difficult for Tang Ning. Instead, he patted Tang Ning’s head and said, “A silly girl with big ideas.”

“I’m not young anymore.” Tang Ning looked at Tang Qing with a serious expression, “Tomorrow is already seventeen, third brother.”

“So what? You will always be my sister.” Tang Qing flicked Tang Ning’s forehead. Seeing that Tang Ning didn’t say anything and didn’t press him, she changed the topic: “Every time you say it, tomorrow is already seventeen and it’s time for your wedding.”

Tang Ming, who was listening obediently, didn’t react. He didn’t understand why it involved him.

“What are you looking at? When you were your age, even your mother and I were talking about marriage. What about you? You can even hold a hand and blush, making you lose face.” Tang Qing began to get angry, “I don’t know who it is, but if he likes those clothes, then he’ll make people design them into 100 pieces. Anyways, it’s his family’s business, and what about you, silly as to compete for flowers with others, it’s all thanks to that lass, Hong Ying who doesn’t mind you!”

Tang Ming’s eyes drifted away as he answered absent-mindedly, “Got it.”

Tang Qing saw that Tang Ming wasn’t paying attention, and was about to say something when the flesh on his waist suddenly became strangled: “I didn’t know that you had a lot of flowery words to say.”

Tang Qing saw Chu Junlan’s stern face and thought to himself, “Not good. You’re the only one who knows how to use flowery words.”

“Hmph.” Chu Junlan looked away, “I think Ming’er and Hong Ying are fine now. Besides, Ming’er is still losing her memories.”

“Ming’er and Red Cherry have grown up together, childhood sweethearts are two of the most insignificant things. Would Ming’er, after regaining his memory, despise Red Cherry?” Tang Qing’s words seemed to be taken for granted, but Tang Ming quickly nodded. Tang Qing didn’t know whether to laugh or cry: “Just say that your wife is married and you’ll be fine.”

“Follow father.” Tang Ming said calmly.

Tang Qing: “…”

He finally understood the feeling of not being able to beat up his sister when he married her.

Chu Junlan covered his mouth, his eyes were like crescent moons, “Tang Shuhua, look at you, look at your shamelessness, you are famous for it.”

Tang Qing’s face turned green as he said stubbornly, “Good news never leaves the door, bad news spread far and wide.”

“Brother, you are now the number one person in the martial arts world. Ten thousand people respect you.” Tang Ning couldn’t help but interrupt. Tang Rou’er laughed loudly without giving him any face: “That’s right, Third Uncle, you don’t need to quibble.”

Tang Qing’s eyes lightly landed on Tang Rou Er: “Make ten copies of my new book of words.”

“Huh?” Tang Rou’er stretched out her pinky in dissatisfaction: “Third Uncle, your new book of words is as thick as my pinky?”

“I just wanted you to copy it so that the entire manor wouldn’t run around. I’m just following a wild girl.” Tang Qing pointed at Tang Rou’er’s brain and said, “It’s been noisy all day, it’s been so noisy that it made your Third Uncle’s head hurt.”

“Third brother, Rou’er didn’t do anything wrong.” Tang Ning’s face was full of disapproval. “Girl, it’s fine to be a bit more delicate.”

“What about you, Fifth Sister?” Tang Qing raised his eyebrows.

“I am an exception.” Tang Ning said without the slightest hesitation.

Tang Qing sighed and waved his hand at Tang Rou’er: “Let’s go, let’s go. Hurry up and go, otherwise your Third Uncle will go back on his word.”

“Yes sir!” Tang Rou’er beamed. Before she left, she did not forget to kiss Tang Ning. “Thank you, Fifth Aunt.”

Tang Qing saw that Tang Ning’s entire body had stiffened and laughed: “Youngsters of the Tang Clan, all five men are extremely afraid of you. Even Ming’er is no exception. Only this crazy girl would dare to get close to you.”

“If Third Brother continues to tease me like this, I’ll go and speak to Big Brother tomorrow.” Tang Ning still wore the same cold expression as Tang Ming, but his words caused the normally calm Tang Qing to fall into a state of displeasure.

The people of the Jiang Hu all thought that although Tang Qing was not the master of the castle, she was actually in charge. However, no one in the Jiang Hu was aware that the famous master Tang San was not afraid of the heavens or the earth.

The Tang family’s eldest brother had always been a “man of his word”. As long as his younger brother and sister made a small mistake, he would be able to explain everything from the mistakes he made to the righteousness of the world.

As a result, what Tang Qing feared the most was her brother and sister saying, “Let’s talk in front of big brother.” Before she even saw big brother, Tang Qing felt her head hurt and quickly waved her hand: “Go, go, all of you go, stop bothering me.”
