Chapter 3 Everyone is innocent and pregnant with guilt
Chapter 3: A common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of having a jade.
The little body struggled violently and kicked Erxi in the chest.
Boom!
There was a burst of dust in the garden, and the bright flowers were overwhelmed by the giant.
Erxi was lying in the grass, looking at the blue sky with a dull expression.
"This, this is none of my business!"
Tang Zhengrong was also startled. After he stood firm, he immediately pretended to be calm and said, "Brother, your bodyguard is in really bad shape. He fell down after just a few bumps. I don't have the money to pay for medical expenses.
You must never rely on me."
Why did her magical power suddenly appear again? She couldn't control it at all and would have to be noticed sooner or later.
A common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a jade!
She still understands this truth.
"Er Xi, are you in serious trouble?"
Tang Yanzhi went up to check and saw that his personal bodyguard had a blank look on his face and turned his eyes to look at him blankly.
"Master, I practice diligently every morning..."
After explaining dryly, Erxi opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say further.
He was actually kicked to the ground by a little girl!
He wanted to say that he was not in poor health.
On the contrary, he practiced hard every day and his body was much stronger than the average person.
But……
He was kicked to the ground by a little girl. How to explain this?
"How did you do it?" Tang Yanzhi turned around, with a hint of secrecy between his gentle brows and eyes, as he examined the skinny little girl in front of him.
"He didn't stand firm!"
Being stared at by such sharp eyebrows, Tang Zhengrong's heart skipped a beat and he pretended to be calm.
"You two are bad people, I'll tell my dad!"
Pretending to be wronged, she wiped away the non-existent tears, turned around and ran away.
…
lobby.
The Duke of Tang raised his eyebrows slightly and looked around, showing no anger or authority.
"Do you have any insights into this assassination incident?"
The guests and ministers looked at each other, and Guo Chang, the Minister of Rites, raised his hand and said, "My lord, I would venture to guess that this assassination was probably done by those in southern Xinjiang."
He and Tang Guogong are both princes, and usually only the old Duke obeys.
"Hmph!" Tang Guogong sneered, a stern look flashed across his majestic face, "They alone can think of killing me, what a wishful thinking!"
Eee!
Duke Tang wanted to say something more, but the door was pushed open.
Everyone looked back and saw a thin little girl wearing a pink jacket, panting and looking around, her clear pupils full of curiosity.
The little girl's eyes fell on the first place and instantly lit up, "Daddy!"
The sound is clear and sweet, like the cry of an oriole.
Everyone looked at each other!
"cough!"
Tang Guogong coughed lightly and looked at everyone, "Which colleague's family member is this? How did they come here?"
Although he was asking, Duke Tang's eyes moved around everyone, and finally landed on Guo Chang, the Minister of Rites, and his meaning was self-evident.
Everyone understood instantly and looked at Guo Chang with subtle smiles in their eyes.
Who in the whole country does not know that Guo Chang, the Minister of Rites, has many wives and concubines at home, but for some unknown reason, none of them are pregnant and they are giving birth to daughters one after another. They all have eighteen daughters.
The poor and dignified Minister of Rites is over forty, but his family only has one son.
"My lord!"
Guo Chang blushed and growled: "Wei Chen did not bring his family here today!"
Seeing that his subordinate was about to get angry, the Duke laughed and said, "Guo Qing, don't be upset, which colleague's daughter is this girl? Please take her back as soon as possible."
"Daddy!"
While he was talking, the old man felt his sleeves being tugged.
He lowered his head and saw that the little girl had actually run up to him. Her big, watery eyes were now open, full of admiration.
"Little girl, you have recognized the wrong person. I am not your father."
The old man was so happy that he couldn't help but reach out and touch the two meatball buns on her bun.
"You are my dad!"
Tang Zhengrong hugged the old Duke's arm and climbed into his arms in a few quick movements.
Everyone was shocked, but now their subtle eyes were aimed at the old Duke.
"Are you from... Aunt Mei's yard?"
He is busy with official duties on weekdays and does not pay much attention to the children in the house. He really has no impression of them.
Tang Zhengrong pursed his lips, and a layer of tears filled his big apricot eyes, "Daddy is bad! My mother's surname is Liu, not Mei!"
As soon as these words came out, the old man suddenly realized.
Yes, a little girl appeared a few days ago and blocked the knife for herself.
No wonder this little girl looks more and more familiar to him. That's it.
Seeing the girl pouting in grievance, with tears in her eyes, as if she was about to cry, the old man inevitably felt a trace of guilt in his heart.
"Haha, it turns out to be Liu Yatou. Dad has been busy with official duties recently. I wanted to visit you in the afternoon, but I didn't expect you to come by yourself."
nonsense!
Looking at the false smile on Tang Guogong's face, Tang Zhengrong was filled with slander.
This man didn't even know who he was just now, yet he had the nerve to say he wanted to see her. He was obviously lying.
The little girl pursed her lips, and her ten-year-old face was full of unhappiness.
The old man found it very interesting and smiled happily, "You girl, you are so bold, you even dare to be angry with your own father?"
Although his tone was full of accusations, there was no trace of displeasure on his face.
Symbolically patting the thin shoulder of the little girl in his arms, the old Duke waved his hand, "That's all, let's stop here for today. You all can go back to your homes. I will explain this matter to the Emperor in the court hall tomorrow."
Guo Chang was teased a lot and felt embarrassed for a long time. After hearing this, he immediately bowed and said, "In this case, I will retire first."
As soon as he took the lead, other ministers followed Lu and left one after another.
After touching the dirty little hands of the little girl in his arms, the old man put her on the ground and said, "Look at your dirty clothes. Where did you go to be naughty?"
Tang Zhengrong snorted and pouted, "Dad wronged me, I'm not naughty, I'm very obedient!"
The little man's voice is not loud, but it is sonorous and powerful.
That little face was extremely serious, but in the eyes of the old prince, it was extremely funny.
The old man pursed his lips slightly and couldn't help scratching the bridge of her nose, "Okay, okay, you are the most obedient. Then tell father, why did you become like this? Who bullied you?"
It's not that he doesn't know about the jealousy in the inner house, but a grown man always has to take care of the court. He doesn't bother to pay attention to it on weekdays. As long as it's not too much, he can just pretend that he can't see it.
But now if this little girl is bullied, he will have to stand up and protect her. After all, this girl has blocked the knife for him, and as a father, he can no longer let others bully him.
"I...I just came over in a hurry and accidentally fell."
Thinking of what had just happened, Tang Zhengrong decided to hide this scene.
