After being thrown off a cliff and died tragically, the whole government knelt down and begged me for forgiveness. Chapter 40 Is this child my cousin’s son?
Shen Tianlin suddenly pointed at Xiaojiu and asked curiously: "This child is..."
For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Xiao Jiu. Seeing that Xiao Jiu was a little shy, she couldn't help but hide behind Jiang Tang.
Shen Tianyan immediately exclaimed: "Is this child my cousin's son?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the old lady tapped his head with her fingers and cursed: "What are you yelling about? How old is your cousin? How can she have a three- or four-year-old son?"
Shen Tianyan covered his head, which was not hurting, and said with a smile: "Aren't I too surprised? Don't blame grandma for not knowing what to say."
As he said that, he turned to look at Jiang Tang apologetically: "Cousin, cousin is talking nonsense, don't take it seriously."
"It's okay." Jiang Tang smiled, "I know my cousin has no ill intentions."
"My cousin is really considerate." Shen Tianyan said with a smile, looking at Xiao Jiu again, bending down to look at him levelly, "Kid, what's your name?"
"Xiaojiu."
"Xiaojiu?" Shen Tianyan asked curiously, "Is it because you are ranked ninth?"
Xiao Jiu shook her head and looked up at Jiang Tang, as if asking her how he should answer.
Jiang Tang also hesitated in his heart whether to tell them Xiaojiu's identity.
Shen Ting and Shen Tianyu knew Xiaojiu's identity, but she also believed that they would not reveal Xiaojiu's identity at will.
Just as she was thinking about how to explain Xiaojiu's origin, Shen Hong said: "Okay, Tianyan, don't ask any more questions. Since it was brought back by Tangtang, he is also a child of our Shen family."
As he spoke, he looked at Xiaojiu with loving eyes and whispered softly: "Xiaojiu, just follow Tangtang and call me grandpa."
Xiao Jiu did not answer, but looked at Jiang Tang inquiringly, and asked in a low voice: "Is it okay?"
With her permission, Xiaojiu obediently called Shen Hong "Grandpa."
The cute and soft appearance of the little man immediately aroused the love of everyone present.
Seeing that everyone couldn't help teasing Xiao Jiu, Jiang Tang stepped aside with a faint smile on his fair and pretty face.
She didn't expect that Shen Hong accepted Xiao Jiu's existence without asking anything, and told others not to ask any more questions.
This saves her the trouble of explaining.
"Tangtang."
Jiang Tang turned to look at Shen Ting who came next to her: "Uncle."
"Don't worry, your eldest cousin and I will never reveal Xiaojiu's identity before you speak." Shen Ting said seriously, "If your grandpa asks, I will keep it a secret for you. "
Jiang Tang felt warm in his heart, looked at him with a hint of gratitude, and said softly: "Thank you, uncle."
"Why are you so polite to your uncle?" Shen Ting said, "The less people know about Xiaojiu's identity, the better. Xiaojiu is your trump card, how can it be exposed so easily?"
Xiaojiu is a nine-tailed fox cub, an extremely rare monster in the entire Tianyuan Continent.
He knew that his family would never reveal this secret to the outside world, but there was no guarantee that the servants in the house would not leak it and spread it to outsiders.
If Xiao Jiu's identity is known to others, it will inevitably attract countless people to covet and rob her, which will only bring endless trouble and danger to Jiang Tang.
He never wanted to see something like this happen.
After some pleasantries, Mrs. Shen asked Cao Jingwan to take Jiang Tang and Xiaojiu to their backyard residence.
Because Jiang Tang arrived suddenly and the government did not have time to prepare a place for her in advance, Mrs. Shen arranged her in Changchun Garden where Shen Yunqing lived.
Jiang Tang has no objection to this. It is just a place to live, as long as it can be protected from wind and rain.
Taking her and Xiaojiu to Changchun Garden, Cao Jingwan said with some emotion: "Back then, your mother went out for training. She has been away for more than ten years, and there has been no news during this period. I don't know how much your grandfather and grandmother have worried over these years.
, and how many nights I missed her, so this Changchun Garden has always retained its appearance as it was back then."
With that said, she stepped forward and pushed open the closed door.
Although this house has not been lived in for more than ten years, it is very clean and tidy, spotless, and there is no musty smell in the air that has been unoccupied for a long time.
I guess it must be cleaned every day.
"This will be your yard from now on. If there is anything missing, just tell your aunt." Cao Jingwan turned to look at Jiang Tang, who was standing behind her, and said with a smile, "I will arrange some capable maids for you later.
"
"Thank you, auntie."
"Hey, we are all a family, why are you being so polite?" Cao Jingwan said, then touched Xiaojiu's head and said, "Xiaojiu, take a rest first, and your aunt will ask someone to bring you delicious food later.
Come."
"Is there anything delicious?" Xiaojiu's eyes suddenly lit up and she said sweetly, "Auntie, you are so kind!"
Cao Jingwan was amused by his cute appearance and couldn't help but pinch his cheek and said, "Then you guys rest first, and I'll leave first."
"Auntie, walk slowly."
After sending Cao Jingwan away, Jiang Tang finally had the time to look at the courtyard carefully.
The yard is not very big, but it is clean and elegant. There is a row of flowers and plants of different colors planted beside the yard wall, as well as several trees with light pink flowers.
The furnishings in the house are relatively simple, but all of them are exquisite and expensive. It is obvious that quality is valued over quantity.
It can also be seen from this that her mother, whom she has never met, is a free and easy-going person who does not value material things very much.
"From now on, this will be our home."
"This is the home of Xiaojiu and his master!" Xiaojiu took Jiang Tang's hand and said with a smile.
Jiang Tang smiled and nodded, wanting to say to Jin Yuan in her heart, "This is his home too," but then she thought, once she helps Jin Yuan find a way to lift the seal, they will go back to their own way, and I'm afraid that from now on
Never meet again.
Therefore, he swallowed these words.
Unexpectedly, the next second, she heard Jin Yuan's deep magnetic voice ringing in her mind.
“This place is not bad.”
"you're awake?"
Jinyuan said: "You have been awake since you arrived at the imperial city."
Jiang Tang was startled when he heard this and said, "In other words, you have also seen those people from the Shen family?"
"Yeah." Jinyuan said calmly, "I'm okay."
Hearing his words, Jiang Tang couldn't help but curl his lips.
It's already very good to get an "ok" comment from him.
This shows that he quite approves of the Shen family.
Thinking of this, an idea suddenly popped up in her mind and she joked aloud: "Could it be that you were worried that the Shen family were not good people and that I would be bullied when I arrived at the Shen family, so you woke up early when you arrived in the imperial city.
Bar?"
There was no answer to her question.
But according to her understanding of Jin Yuan, the more silent he is, the more it means she is right.
Just when she couldn't help but chuckle, Jin Yuan said slowly: "Since I promised to protect your life, I should fulfill my promise."
