The moon gradually moved towards the west, and the Tang house gradually became quiet.
Tang Shao stood on the small building, holding a wine glass in his hand but not drinking.
He stared at the moon and didn't move until Jin Dao grew up.
"It's almost dawn, and you guys are still not sleeping?"
Tang Shao smiled: "I can't sleep."
"Because of that Miss Mingqi?"
Tang Shao nodded.
Jin Daochang looked at him and said: "You are your age, and Sichun is normal. Miss Mingqi is just the right age, good-looking, and interesting. I don't blame you for thinking that. It doesn't matter that she is from Qi, anyway, she has arrived in Chu State
, the engagement doesn’t count anymore. As long as I become yours, why don’t you think about you everywhere?”
"..."
Tang Shao put down his wine glass: "Does the Taoist think that she should be kept?"
He asked seriously, and Taoist Master Jin could no longer continue joking, so he replied seriously: "This girl is very powerful. If she really wants to leave, trying to control her will inevitably lead to losses for both parties. However, I also remind you,
If she doesn't leave, she must have another purpose. It's hard to tell whether she's an enemy or a friend!"
"Yeah." Tang Shao's fingers tapped lightly on the pottery Xun casually.
Taoist Master Jin said "tsk": "Talk about tonight's experience, Taoist Master is really eye-opening. Do you believe that Miss Ling is here to help you?"
Tang Shao played with it for a while and replied: "It doesn't sound fake."
Taoist priest Jin was surprised: "The other party plotted against the Tang family. They killed your grandmother first and then your uncle. Not only are you not angry, but you also believe her?"
Tang Shao said: "Being angry and believing are two different things. When she did this, I was naturally angry, but that doesn't mean her words have no credibility."
Taoist priest Jin smiled and said, "Tang Er, aren't you partial because she told you what was on your mind?"
Tang Shao didn't take it seriously: "Am I that kind of person?"
Taoist Master Jin shook his head: "It doesn't seem like you have ever hid anything from me."
Tang Shao said: "If I didn't have some intention, I would not send people to Northern Qi. However, she still misunderstood one thing."
"how?"
"The Tang family has never been an obstacle to me." Tang Shao said calmly, "As long as I am willing, Uncle Ten will definitely stand by my side and assist me. As for the eldest brother..."
"Are you unwilling to go that far because of the love between brothers and sisters, or perhaps the love between mother and son?"
Taoist Master Jin may seem rough and arrogant, but in fact he has a delicate mind. What's more, Tang Shao has always been frank in front of him, and he knows almost everything about Tang Shao.
Tang Shao nodded slowly: "We're not at that point yet, so there's no need to take action."
"Then will you do it?"
Tang Shao said no more, picked up the wine glass again, and poured the cold wine into his mouth.
Taoist Master Jin said: "That Miss Ling is really right. If the old lady's nightmare syndrome had not been cured in advance and manpower had been arranged to protect the guests, what situation would you be in now?"
If this is the case, the casualties will be serious tonight. Even if he rescues Tang Xi, he will break with the Tang family.
——The existence of nightmares, coupled with the hallucinations of those guests, cannot absolve him of the crime of being a murderer.
"In that case, you have to make a choice. It can even be said that there is no other way but to go to the dark side. From this aspect, it means that Miss Seven saved you."
Tang Shao glanced at him: "The Taoist Master seems to really not want me to take this path."
Taoist priest Jin chuckled: "I don't want a transparent person like you to be burdened by your reputation. Even if you want to take this road, you have to go it yourself. What's the point of being forced like this?
mean?"
"Is Taoist Master taking Miss Mingqi's side? According to Miss Ling, she should be my enemy."
Taoist priest Jin smiled and said: "I see that Miss Mingqi's actions are far less ruthless than her. In fact, to crush Miss Ling's conspiracy, you only need to break her nightmare. You don't need to save your uncle's life. Miss Mingqi's
This approach inevitably leads to the suspicion of unnecessary misconduct. When looking at a person’s character, you don’t look at what she says, but at what she does. Miss Ling says she is helping you, but she only cares about her goals, your feelings, and other people’s lives. She does not
I don’t care. But Miss Mingqi behaves much softer. She knows that you are her enemy, but she still puts human life first.”
Tang Shao fiddled with it for a while and then said: "It seems that you are really on her side."
Taoist priest Jin did not deny it, but said: "Do you believe it or not, she didn't do anything to the old lady at all?"
Tang Shao said nothing.
Taoist Master Jin stopped when he clicked the button and stretched out: "I'm tired from running all the way. Taoist Master, go to bed first and won't play with you kid anymore!"
…
The Tang family couldn't hide the fact that the bride was missing, even if they wanted to.
Among the guests who came, there were many relatives of the Ling family. Did you know that two living people were missing?
What's more, if something like this happens, the Tang family and the Ling family still have a lot of accounts to settle, so it's natural to take a preemptive strike and be reasonable.
So, on the second day of the wedding, the Tang family was in trouble.
When Mrs. Tang knew that her bride was missing, she almost rushed over. Fortunately, Tang Shao was prepared and immediately called the doctor in.
Mrs. Tang came over slowly and made sure to see Tang Xi.
Tang Xi hadn't recovered yet and responded in a daze: "Mom, why are you crying? My son is fine, he is really fine..."
Mrs. Tang cried even more when she saw him like this.
How does it look like nothing is wrong? She is obviously here, but this child is calling his sister-in-law mother, and he is confused!
"Grandma," Tang Shao quickly supported her and comforted her, "the doctor has already seen it. Uncle Ten is not seriously ill. He is just angry for a moment. He will be fine in two days. Don't make yourself angry, otherwise Uncle Ten will wake up."
Come here, you will be sad again."
Mrs. Tang heard what he said and quickly wiped away her tears: "Okay, okay, Shi'er, you can rest peacefully. Mother won't cry anymore. It's okay. Erlang is here. The Ling family bullied you like this, and we won't just let it go."
Yes, I will vent my anger on you!"
The mother and son talked for a while, and Mrs. Tang came out wiping her eyes.
When they arrived at the front hall, Mrs. Tang's face suddenly darkened and she said, "Erlang, write a letter to your father! The Ling family has bullied others too much. Don't even think about letting it go like this!"
Tang Shao responded and advised: "Grandma, I will handle these matters. You can go and rest!"
Mrs. Tang was about to wipe her tears again: "Fortunately, you came back in time, Erlang, your tenth uncle has a hard life..."
Tang Shao listened patiently and comforted her. He finally calmed down Mrs. Tang and asked the maids to help her go back to rest.
He sent Mrs. Tang away and returned to the front hall. As soon as he entered the room, a slap came to him, hitting him hard on the face.
Mrs. Tang lowered her voice and asked: "You caused it again, right? I've told you not to bring back those messy things you did outside, but you just didn't listen. Now, you've caused a big problem.
Right? Your uncle has been implicated! What are you doing back here? Who do you want to harm?"
Tang Shao raised his head, looked at his mother whose eyes were spitting fire, and said quietly: "In mother's heart, is my son such a superfluous person?" (To be continued)
