Tianqi curled his lips and said slightly unhappily: "I seem to have seen this person before, but I can't remember it. Master Tong, what is his name? Is he also from Wumeng country?"
Tong Ke was stunned for a moment, seemed a little embarrassed, and said slowly: "He is an indifferent person by nature and doesn't like to be known to anyone. I also promised him that I would never mention him to outsiders. This is a coincidence. It just happens.
I met several people who came over and met each other, but I can’t say more. After all, this person has been doing business between the two countries, which is absolutely not allowed by the DPRK and the Central Government of this country. I really don’t want to add risks to this person, but it’s just
It's a chance encounter, it doesn't matter whether you know it or not."
Tianqi was a little annoyed. He was sure that he had seen that man before, but he just couldn't remember it. He frowned, suddenly smiled deliberately, and pretended to be grief-stricken and said: "Oh, this guy was so curious that he forgot the truth.
Mr. Tong is about to face a great tragedy. Mr. Xuan, if you don’t hand over Tong Hao’s ashes to Mr. Tong, by the way, there may be one or two unburned bones in the ashes,——”
Tong Xiaoye looked at Tianqi in shock, it was obvious that this person did it on purpose.
When he was about to explain, he saw his father's pale and stunned face. He was at a loss for a moment. He stared blankly at the box in Xuan Jinmo's hand. Tears flowed out, knowing that Tian Qi knew that Tong Hao was not dead.
, but mentioned with gloating.
"Dad, actually -" Tong Xiaoye glared at Tianqi fiercely and said.
"It's actually better than suffering in prison." Xuan Jinmo said immediately, "Father-in-law, let's go in and talk. It's very windy outside."
Tong Ke's body trembled slightly, tears streaming down his face, and he let Tong Xiaoye help him into the front hall. After hearing the news, Tong's wife, who came over, hugged the urn and cried loudly. Even though she didn't take it with her to take care of her, it was her after all.
As the old saying goes, it's not bad to kiss a grandchild every other generation.
Tong Xiaoye waved his hand and signaled the servants in the hall to step back. He looked at Tianqi and whispered bitterly: "Why do you deliberately torment people like this?"
"It's good for your Tong family." Tianqi said half-truthfully, "Now everyone knows that Tong Hao has been executed in prison. Could it be that you want your husband's hard work to go to waste and get in trouble with the lawsuit?
If the emperor knew that Tong Hao was not dead, even ten Xuan Jinmo would not be enough to atone for his crime!"
Tong Xiaoye felt extremely sad. Only she knew that if it weren't for protecting her, Tong Ke and his wife would not have to avoid this place at all. It is far away from Kyoto and the news is slightly less available, which just ensures that her identity will not arouse suspicion from outsiders.
If it weren't for this, Tong Hao might be able to live a healthy and happy life under the care of Tong Ke and his wife.
At least he won't be left without supervision after his mother's accident.
Thinking about this, he felt resentful towards Xuan Jinmo and turned his head to glare at Xuan Jinmo. Xuan Jinmo was comforting Tong Ke with steady words and a sad expression. Even though Tong Xiaoye knew that Tong Hao was still alive, he was hiding in the car he was riding.
In the mezzanine of the carriage, there were also some doubts about whether he knew about it.
"Dad, Mom." Tong Xiaoye looked at the sad Tong Ke and his wife and wanted to comfort her, but she didn't know what to say, so her voice hesitated.
"It's not a bad thing to make them cry." Xuan Jinmo's voice sounded just right, "It will be boring if you keep it in your heart."
Tong Xiaoye was a little frustrated. She had a feeling that these two people did it on purpose, but she couldn't tell. If she told Tong Ke and his wife at this time, it would naturally make them feel that it was a false alarm and then be overjoyed. However, if it really spread,
The emperor will definitely not spare Xuan Jinmo lightly.
"You hate them, that's why you let them do this. You really thought something happened to Tong Hao." Tong Xiaoye said in a very low voice to Xuan Jinmo who came to her side, with some complaints in his voice.
Xuan Jinmo said calmly: "Yes, but after the great tragedy, they can know that Tong Hao is not dead, and they will thank God. But, as for me, my mother will never come back. Tong Hao is dead.
They will have other grandchildren. As for me, after my mother dies, I will never have any more. I am already kind to them. If it were before, I would definitely hide Tong Hao and let them live in sorrow forever.
middle!"
Tong Xiaoye was slightly startled, lowered his head, and said nothing more.
Tianqi looked at Tong Ke and his wife who were crying together, and there seemed to be some vague unbearability in his eyes. He glanced at Xuan Jinmo and was about to speak.
"No need, wait until the funeral is held. It will make everyone in this house grieve." Xuan Jinmo said indifferently, "It's just a few tears, it won't kill anyone."
Tianqi raised his eyebrows and murmured in a low voice: "At any rate, he is also my savior. He also knows my identity. I am just curious about who the man who left is. He didn't look at me, but I feel that he knows who I am."
Who, I look somewhat similar to him, but he deliberately doesn’t look at me. There is only one reason, that is, he knows me and who I am, so I am angry and deliberately don’t tell Tong Ke that his grandson is still alive. You
Woolen cloth?"
Tianqi is not very clear about the grudges between Xuan Jinmo and Tong Ke, and some of them are just guesses.
Xuan Jinmo said in a plain voice: "I am just trying to protect myself. If the emperor finds out, he will not spare me. I have no intention of ruining my bright future for the sake of the Tong family."
Tong Xiaoye lowered his head in frustration, unable to explain how he felt.
Tong Ke woke up from his grief earlier than his wife. He suppressed the pain in his heart and ordered people to arrange the ashes of Tong Hao. He always had to wait for Tong Hua'an to arrive after hearing the news before deciding how to arrange the ashes of Tong Hao.
The entire mansion was filled with sadness. Although Tong Hao had sinned heavily, he was a bloodline of the Tong family after all, and since he was dead, all his guilt could be dismissed.
The mourning hall set up for Tong Hao was quickly prepared. Tong Xiaoye sat in it and couldn't laugh or cry, especially looking at Xuan Jinmo and Tian Qi with sad expressions. They were really sad and silent, which made Tong Xiaoye so sad.
Sorry not to show the same sadness.
Especially since she is Tong Hao's aunt.
"Tong Hao's incident has caused too much reaction in Kyoto, so I don't think Tong Hao's ashes should be buried in Kyoto for the time being to avoid causing public outrage. If my father-in-law doesn't object, I can leave Tong Hao's ashes here for the time being and pay homage quietly.
." Xuan Jinmo suggested calmly, with some appropriate sadness in his tone.
Tong Ke let out a long sigh and said tiredly: "It's his own fault that he brought it upon himself. I don't dare to bury him in his ancestral graves because of his actions. He's not yet an adult, so I'll just let him stay here."
Well, although this place is far away from Kyoto, the people are simple and the scenery is beautiful. I hope he will be a good person in the next life, even if he is just a villager in the mountains."
