Chapter 224 The building is cold and the rivers and lakes are turbulent
Although Luo Li just found an excuse to leave Tang Mansion, the anger in his heart was real.
This Tang Ke... is simply a robber who kills both raw and cooked!
He had already taken away one hundred thousand taels of gold from himself before, but this time he asked for one hundred thousand taels!
It's really like using yourself as a fat sheep to be slaughtered.
If he stayed in the Tang Mansion any longer, he would blackmail him into pieces sooner or later.
"Cousin, you don't have to be like this." Tang Ke's somewhat lazy voice came, "It's just one hundred thousand taels of gold, it's nothing to my cousin, right? I'm borrowing it from my brother, but it's not like I won't pay it back."
"No, no!" Luo Li looked impatient. Anyway, there was no need for Tang Ke to accompany him in acting, "I can't stay here any longer! I'll leave tomorrow!"
"If my uncles knew, they wouldn't blame me for being rude!"
"If my fourth cousin asks me for money again, I will have no choice but to report it to my uncle!"
Tang Ke chuckled, "It's just a little possession, what's it worth? Is it worthy of being a cousin? If my cousin doesn't lend it, I won't borrow it. Why bother to leave and alert the adults?"
Suddenly a woman's voice came: "Ke'er, what are you doing here? Why did you come to Li'er again to ask for money? Didn't she just give you money?"
"What do you want so much money for? Is it possible that Li'er is a fat sheep and has been taken notice of?"
But it was my aunt Tang Xiang's voice.
Su Chuo quickly communicated and used the divine Gu to put on the veil.
While talking, Tang Xiang walked in with a frosty look on his face.
But Tang Ke actually followed Tang Xiang in with a shy face and explained:
"My aunt misunderstood. My nephew is just short of a little money, a hole as big as a copper coin, so he came to ask his cousin to borrow some..."
"Aunt." Luo Li quickly stood up.
"You borrowed something!" Tang Xiang looked back at Tang Ke and said angrily, "Among my brothers and sisters, who has not been borrowed by you? How many times have you paid it back? You are bullying Li'er!"
Tang Ke spread his hands and said, "I can't help it. Who can say that my nephew is not the prince? If my nephew was the prince, he wouldn't be so tight. Aunt, others are seizing power to build momentum. My nephew can get some money and head office."
Tang Xiang shook his head, not wanting to argue with his greedy nephew.
I don't even bother to teach him a lesson.
Tang Ke is the legitimate son and the fourth son of the head of the family, Tang Xu. His mother is Zhang Ruoxian, Wen Changbo's biological sister.
Among the third generation of the Tang family, his status is second only to the eldest son Tang Shen and the third brother Tang Ti.
Although Zhang Ruoxian gave birth to three sons, her favorite was not the eldest son Tang Shen or the second son Tang Ti, but the youngest son Tang Ke.
Tang Ke's treatment in the mansion was sometimes no worse than that of the prince.
Therefore, Tang Ke is not short of money at all. His year's supply is equivalent to a year's income of a seventh-grade county magistrate, and there are many resources that cannot be used up.
But he always complains about being poor! It seems he never has enough!
"Aunt, please take a look." Tang Ke suddenly put away his lazy look and took out an account book, "Aunt, this is the Song family's account book."
"Song family?" Tang Xiang frowned, "The pill family that was destroyed by Li'er?"
"That's the Song family." Tang Ke pointed at the account book, "The Song family's property and resources are all listed in this book. With my aunt's wisdom, I know she won't cheat."
Tang Xiang glanced at it and found that the account book was indeed true. The Song family's resources and wealth were equivalent to more than one million taels of gold!
"Auntie, are you wondering why your nephew has the Song family's account books?" Tang Ke said lazily, "Because the backer behind the Song family is my nephew."
"The Song family is my nephew's family. In order to honor my nephew, the Song family gives my nephew a proportional share every year. They even give my nephew a copy of the family account book."
"Speaking of which, the Song family is an egg-laying chicken owned by my nephew. But now this egg-laying chicken has been slaughtered by cousin Luo Li, killing the chicken and eating its meat."
"Cousin Luo Li allowed the monster to massacre the Song family. It cannot be said that she deliberately slapped her nephew in the face. Isn't it a crime for those who don't know. But... the Song family's money also belongs to cousin Luo Li."
"That money doesn't belong to my cousin."
The implication...should be his.
"The Song family is your disciple?" Tang Xiang frowned, "How do you prove that the Song family is your disciple? Just rely on an account book?"
"Do you know about the evil things done by the Song family that are outraged by gods and men? Did you acquiesce in them?"
Luo Li's face turned pale with anger, and he said with bulging cheeks:
"Auntie is right! Fourth cousin, you said that the Song family is your disciple, so you are also involved in what they did, right?"
"You also know that you deliberately poison the people and then sell the elixirs. You arrest a large number of pregnant women and disembowel their fetuses alive to refine the elixirs?"
So angry! In order to extort money, Tang Ke actually said that the Song family was his family.
Tang Ke shook his head: "My cousin is serious, how could I know this? As a descendant of the Tang family, how could I do such an outrageous thing?"
Luo Li sneered, "Without your backing, how dare the Song family be so arrogant? You say you are their backer, but you know nothing about what they are doing. Isn't that weird?"
Tang Ke did not expect that both Luo Li and his aunt would blame the Song family's sins.
He is not a supporter of the Song family. The Song family does not know him, and of course he is not his disciple. He obtained this account book to blackmail Luo Li.
The little girl had so much money that he couldn't let it go easily, and he had to make her spit out five or six hundred thousand.
"The Song family is not your disciple." Tang Xiang shook his head.
She also saw that Tang Ke was here to extort money, "Luo Li destroyed them and it has nothing to do with you."
Then he threw the account book to Tang Ke, "Tell aunt, why do you need so much money? If there is a good reason, I can give you some."
"But if you lie to me..."
"Forget it." Tang Ke smiled sarcastically, "How dare my nephew ask for my aunt's money."
In fact, I don't want to tell the truth, but I also know that this aunt is powerful and I don't dare to take her money casually.
Tang Ke knew in his heart that his aunt was here, and he must not be able to blackmail Luo Li today.
"Cousin, don't be angry." Tang Ke said to Luo Li, "You are in a bad mood today, so I won't bother you because of my brother. It's all my fault. Take my leave."
After saying that, Pi Liyangqiu smiled and the old god left.
Luo Li looked at his back, his face full of disdain.
"Aunt, I'm leaving. I'm going to Xifan to find my brother." Luo Li looked firm, "Aunt also saw it. My nephew has offended his fourth cousin and can't stay here anymore."
"He worries about my little money every day, how can I live in peace?"
Tang Xiang also sighed.
She is also leaving the family and returning to the Jingzhou General Altar. In recent years, she has traveled here and there for the great cause of the leader, and she has not spent much time at home.
Once she leaves, who else in the clan can protect Luo Li?
Tang Ke will definitely bully Luo Li, and he doesn't know how much money he will have to "borrow" Luo Li.
Tang Ke only wants money, which is pretty good.
Some tribesmen still want their lives!
Just now, Tang Yue, the eldest son of the concubine, died in his room. The Guard Hall said it was a suicide, but was it really a suicide?
This magnificent and huge mansion contains countless conspiracies and plots, both overt and covert.
When she returned to the leader, she really felt uneasy about leaving Luo Li in the Tang family.
"That's fine." Tang Xiang nodded and said, "With Tang Ke here, you will indeed have a hard time. I will make the decision and allow you to go to Xifan. However, your safety on the way..."
Su Chuo quickly said: "Don't worry, I will be responsible for protecting her on the way."
Tang Xiang said: "Then I'll thank you fellow Taoist. But Li'er, you still have to ask your mother-in-law."
"Yes." Luo Li nodded obediently.
………
"What? Leave Tang Mansion and go to Xifan?"
When Tang Wan heard her daughter's words, she couldn't help but look embarrassed.
Then he shook his head.
"Li'er, our mother and daughter have not long returned to the Tang family. We should settle down and have a good relationship with your uncle and the others, at least until your grandpa comes back."
"If we leave now, we will be even more estranged from your uncle and the others in the future."
"Besides, your Uncle Mou hasn't come back yet, how can we leave?"
Luo Li couldn't help but feel disappointed when he heard this.
"Mother, don't you want to see my brother? My brother is in Xifan, and he must be looking forward to us day and night."
"Mom, you haven't seen my brother for two or three years, right?"
"Tang Ke bullied me and blackmailed me for money. I can't stay here anymore."
Luo Li's eyes were red.
Tang Wan smiled bitterly, "Li'er, you only know that you and brother were born to me, but you don't know that I was also born to your grandpa."
"Li'er, it's true that mother hasn't seen her son for two or three years, but mother hasn't seen her father for twenty years."
"My mother left the family and stayed in the country for so many years. She thought about the Tang family all the time. Now she just wants to stay at home for a few more years and doesn't want to travel far away."
Tang Wan showed a trace of sadness.
"Besides, your brother has also become successful. He has become a monk and a city lord. He is living a good life, so I feel relieved. Mom is very happy. Why do you have to be with him?"
"Mom knows that you have been close to my brother since you were a child. Your brother plays with you, teaches you how to read, and protects you. You two have a deep love for each other and you want to stay by his side."
"But, you have to get married after all. For you, finding a good match is the most important thing. You can't be like my mother. You should marry a high-ranking young man with a bright future."
"This is the easiest thing to get if you stay in the Tang family."
"As for Tang Ke... he just wants money. You might as well give him money in exchange for his support and let each of you get what he wants."
When Luo Li heard his mother's words, his heart became colder and colder.
She couldn't help but shed tears, "Mom, my daughter knows that you hate Luo An, and that's why you also dislike my brother, right?"
"Because Brother A is a bit like Luo An, so in your heart, you actually hate Brother A, right?"
"I look a bit like Luo An, so my mother doesn't actually love me in her heart, right?"
"No wonder... no wonder there are people in the house talking that my mother wants to give Mou Ji a son so that he can inherit the Mou family business."
"Li'er, you..." Tang Wan smiled bitterly, "Don't think nonsense, mother will not anger you, after all, you are my mother's children..."
She explained dryly, but did not deny that she wanted to give Mou Ji a son.
Luo Li shook his head sadly, and two lines of clear tears streaked down his snow-white cheeks, "Mother, I understand. There is no need to explain, mother."
"Since my mother doesn't want to go to Xifan, I can only bid farewell to my mother."
"The Tang family is my mother's home, but not my daughter's home. The Tang family's mansion is too big, the family laws are too strict, and the lintel is too high. My daughter is just a poor village girl, and she really can't get used to living there. I forgive my daughter for being unfilial..."
"It's cold in the building, and the rivers and lakes are turbulent. Today we say goodbye to mother and daughter. I wonder if there will be a time to meet again. Mother, take care of me! My daughter is gone!"
Luo Li wiped away his tears, twisted his body, turned around and walked out.
"Li'er..."
Tang Wan shed tears. She called out and wanted to keep Luo Li, but she still hesitated.
She knew her daughter Mo Ruomu. She knew that Luo Li was a very independent child.
She just watched her daughter leave her room and drift away...
